MRS. C R A c. E,
TITANIC HERO'S
WI D 0 ", DIES
Funeral Delayed By
Hunt for Kin

Mrs. Constance Oracle, IS.
socially prominent widow of Col.
Archibald Oracle, a hero of the
Titantic disaster, died yesterday
at the Fairmont Rest Home, 1855
wyoming Ave. N. w. She had
been in i'll health since she suf-
fered a fall in her home at 1927
Sixteenth st. N. W.. last August.
Funeral arrangements are being
delayed by efforts to locate dis
tant relatives. Her body was
taken to the S. H. Hines funeral
home. Miss Virginia Prall, of the
Blackstone Hotel. a close friend
Of Mrs. Oracle, said she believes
a cousin of Colonel Oracle is liv-
ing IN New York.
FAMILY PROMINENT
Daughter of a socially pront
nent New York family, Mrs.
Oracle, the former Constance
Shack, moved to Washington with
Colonel Oracle early in the Theo-
dore Roosevelt administration and
has resided here ever since.
Mrs. Oracle refused to accom-
pany her husband on the tragic
voyage of the Titanic because, on
a previous trip to Europe, their
14-year-old daughter had been
killed in an elevator accident in
Paris.
Colonel Oracle was on the top
deck of the ship when it struck
an iceberg. He joined ships Of
ficers in heroic rescue work and
went down with the ship, only to
be shot to the surface when the
boilers exploded. Witnesses said
he probably was the last person
to escape from the stricken vessel.
Suffering from effects Of expo
sure, Colonel Oracle returned to
Washington. He died shortly after.
His widow donated a plaque to St.
Thomas Episcopal Church in
memory of his rescue and placed
his statue in the National Museum.
SUED OVER WILL
Mrs. Oracle lived quietly here
until after the death of her
daughter, Mrs. Edith Temple Gra-
Gle Adams, in 1918. Then she
startled society by suing her SON.
in-law for her daughters 100000
estate, contending that a will
naming her sole beneficiary had
been stolen from her daughters
desk. The suit was lost.
In 1924 Mrs. Oracle again
amazed society by announcing her
marriage to a young Chilean
count" A few months later she
sued for annulment of her mar
riage, charging the young South
American had locked her out of
her home and absconded with sew

BOSTON BEES TO SPONOR SCHOOL
 NEXT SEASON
Old New England League Idea May Develop Base
 ball Talent

Boston, July 27-UP)-In line with a possible attempt to revive the old New England League next season, the Boston Bees will con- duct a baseball school for New England youths IT and over.
 Sessions will begin next Tuesday and end the following Saturday under the supervision of four Bees scouts who hope to develop big league material from promising local talent.
 In announcing opening of the school, secretary John Quinn said all that was necessary was for ap- plicants to write to the Bees base ball school at National League park ages, height, weight and previous experience. Applicants will use their own equipment and pay transporta- ton expenses. Otherwise, schooling will be free of expense.
 It was hoped that sufficient material would be developed to form a half dozen clubs for a revival or the New England League.

 SHOOTING FOR
 WORLD SERIES
White Sox Cutting Down Yankee Lead in Effort
 to Meet Cubs

New York, July 27.-(UP)-Inter- city rivalry between New York and Chicago famed anew today as those two cities visioned monopoly on the World Series in October.
 The representatives of those two cities run one-two in the major league pennant races. In the American league the Yankees top the White Sox by games. In the National league the Cubs lead the Giants by games.
 The Cubs triumphant tour of the east, during which they won g games and lost 4, labeled them as the team to beat. Their 2-game lead bellies their marked superiority. With a 20-game home stand ahead of them the Cubs are likely to build up a commanding lead. The Giants next 6 games are against the Cards and Cubs. They must break even to stay up in the race.
 So Chicago and New York prob ably will compromise on a 50-50 World Series-Cubs and Yankees.
 Dug out and press box chatter: Baby Face Tommy Heinrich was the hero of the Tanks western trip, batting @ .455 Shortstop Billy Judges; boasting .350 batting aver age, is the most improved hitter in the majors His lifetime mark is a mere .251 The Gabby Hartnett-to-manage-the- Giants-in- 1899 report isn't an idle rumor .. |.

 Boston, June 27.-(UP)-It has been pointed out that the current Boston Bees, like their illustrious predecessors of 1914, are blessed with superb pitching.
 Unlike the miracle" Braves who boasted such hitters as Leslie Mann, Butch Schmimdt, Johnny Evers, Joe Connolly, Rabbit Maranville and Hank Gowdy (now Bees coach). the Brees lack concentrated batting power.
 In this respect they resemble Chi cago's famed "Hitless Wonders" whom Filder Jones piloted to the American league pennant in 1906. It may re that the Bees will go down in baseball archives not only as another miracle" team, but as another collection of "hitless won- ders" or if you will, "stingless" Bees.
 As they open their western inva- sion in Cincinnati today, the Bees are last in the league in hitting with an anaemic average of .24l. The 1906 Chicago teams average was .228.
 Tn 87 games this season, the Bees have averaged 37 runs and 8-2 hits per game. There isn't full time regular on the club batting 300. Yet the Bees have won half their games and their rrecent spurt started after big guns Wally Berger and Buck Jordan were shipped away. The Bees hit better on the road and get their best pitching at home. There is simple explana-
