450 ATTORNEYS
SEEK LEARNING.
800 LEFT IN COLD
Lecture Hall Would
Hold But $50

Four hundred and fifty Wash
ington lawyers started back to
school last night, but only $50
were able to pick up a bit Of
learning.
The occasion was the opening
of a special free course for law
yers to learn a complete code of
new procedure rules, which 60
into effect here September l., at
Columbus University. Prof. Law
renee Koenigsberger, Of the uni
versity's faculty, will deliver the
lectures.
The lecture room would only
accommodate 10, so 800 Of the
lawyers who stormed the building
were turned away. But DR.. John
r. Fitzpatrick, dean Of the uni
versity, announced second course
of the lectures will be conducted
on Friday nights, beginning to-
morrow, to care for the overflow.
The new rules were laid down
by the United States Supreme
Court under an act Of Congress
passed in 1884 and upset all exist
ing procedure regulations.

HIS CREDITORS.
HOPE IN CRASH.
Bankruptcy Court Told
Assets Exceed Debt

NEW YORK, March "a G.N.S). i.
There was some hope today for
creditors of Richard Whitney and
Company, after Richard Whitney,
head of the firm, testified in
bankruptcy proceedings, that the
assets of his brokerage house ex-
ceeded the liabilities, 'if properly
administered.
Wall Street guesses as to the
probable loss in the Whitney
crash have ranged up to $10,0O0,-
900, but Whitney, explaining mar.
ket technique and values to Ref
cree Irwin Kurtz, held that his
company was financially solvent,
If not legally" solvent, when he
petitioned bankruptcy.
"I think the assets far ex-
ceeded the liabilities and still
do if properly administered" he
told the referee.
Testimony before Kurtz brought
out the fact that Whitney owes
his brother George, a Morgan
partner, almost $3,000,000. An
early loan from George went to
purchase an additional seat on the
exchange for $500,000. Later loans
helped Whitney to keep the bust
ness going as long as he did.
Total loans outstanding at the
time he filed his bankruptcy petit
ton were approximately $6,000,-
600. |

Pirates Stumble

Fittsburgh's Pirate baseball ma
chine, suffering an acute attack OF
the well known ''pennant jitters'
Wednesday saw its National league
lead cut TO two and one half games
by the suddenly active New York
Giants, who defeated the Bucs IN
both ends of a doubleheader.
Chicago Cubs, victors, 6-3 over the
Boston Bees, moved to within two
and one half games of the Pirates
and Cincinnati and the Giants
closed the gap to three and one
half contests in the latest Pirate
slump.
Two weeks ago the Pirates were
apparently in. But this week may
prove tn a the PittSburghers
haven't the stuff it requires to win
the pennant.
Chicago looks tough. Cincy will
be hard to lose on the home stretch
and even the crippled Giants have
apparently snapped back into the
race and will have to be reckoned
with.

San Diego and Seattle

Valley followers of the Pacific
Coast league find themselves torn
between two loves in this the final
week of the regular season play.
Seattle and San Diego. valley fay-
orites are clashing in the northend
in the final series Of the season.
The Rainiers will have to win at
least five games this week to beat
out the Angels, who now hold q
slight edge.
Five defeats, however will prob
ably cost the Padres fourth place
and a berth in the playof. Sar
Francisco is only a percentage point
or two behind the San Diegans.
The only thing to do is to hope
Los Angeles loses enough games tc
allow both valley favorites TO gair
their respective goals.
The playoff, in the event San Dl'
ego remains in the fourth spot, vii
pit two slugging clubs, Seattle ant
Los Angeles, against two Of the bes
defensive teams, Sacramento ant

NEW YORK STOCKS

Stocks and bonds advanced to1ay

along with an improvement in
world markets on the more peace
full trend in the Sudeten difficult

The London market gave a rollS-
ing demonstration before New York
opened and played a part in influ-
encing heavy buying in the latter
market. The New York market
opened active and strong on blocks
ranging to 5000 shares.
At the opening, piiing of orders

the specialists. Some stocks did
not appear until Is minutes after
the opening gong because OF diff
ficulty in arriving at prices. lni-
| tial gains ranged to more than a

Later these were whitfield down but
the list held advances of fractions
to more than points New strength
was displayed in the last hour.
Volume lightened sharply on the
recovery. Up to 2 p. m. sales total
ed only 100000 shares against g.
100000 shares in the corresponding
period yesterday. Traders on the
long side withheld commitments
pending outcome of the Chamber
lain Hitler conference, while shorts
covered part of their commitments.
The London advance was featur-
ed by American stocks and by Brit
ish bonds. The latter made up
their losses of yesterday and closed
strong. The U. S. issues closed
higher, but under their best.
The war commodities-notably
wheat and sugar-declined

Goals to Newcastle.
A series between the Giants and
Yanks this year will have its novel
touches, however. There's the mat
ter of the enthusiastic fan who
always parks himself in front of
the bleacher gates week before
the series is scheduled to start in
order to be the first patron in the
park. This year, if the Giants make
the grade, he will camp in Grand
Central station in order to gain the
honor of being the first fan to
leave for points west
Such a series would be the first
in history to end in three games,
too After taking their lickings in
the first three days the Giants
wouldn't show up for the fourth.
They wouldn't have anything on
the customers, though. They would
have failed to show up.
The opening day ceremony would
be unique. Judge Lands would
lead the parade of the players to
the flagpole in center field and out
of respect to the Giants chances
the flag would be raised only to
half mast.
With the comfort of the few fans
who Go attend in mind, all boxes
would be equipped with inner
spring mattresses. When the sight
Of Yankee runs crossing the plate
became too monotonous the fans
could relax and take nap.
Instead Of hot dogs and pop the
vendors would sell insomnia cures
and Bingo would be inaugurated
in an effort % lure customers into
! the park.

NEW YORK, Sept. Is. CUP)-
Here's a market tip: If the New
York Giants win the National
league pennant this year take all
the money you can beg, borrow or
steal and buy Transportation
stocks. Because the migration from
this city on the day the Giants
start against the Yankees in the
world series will be terrific.
Baseball lovers by the tens OF
thousands will fight for seats on
departing trains, buses, airplanes
and boats in an effort to get as
far away from the Yankee stadium
and Polo Grounds as possible. Bor-
ed to death by the Giants sickly
efforts against the Yankees in
1896 and 1897, the fans simply
won't stand for this outdoor seda-
tive three years in row.
As awful as the Giants were
in the series of 1896 and 1887, in
which they won but three games,
they will be worse this year At
least they had Hubbeu whose mag
njficent craftsmanship was some
thing to see But Hubbell is out
with an injured arm, and without
him the Giants are the drabbest,
most uninspiring outfit that ever
smelled of liniment.
The present team isn't exactly
the one that was smothered by
the Yanks last year, the Messrs
Cissell, Kampouris and Seeds hav-
ing been added to the roster With
the team already top-heayy with
bores, the addition of these sterling
athletes was the same as carrying

Attracts Attention

The FL Centro All-Stars will fin
ally wind up the 1888 softban sea-

All-Stars in a game that may de-
velop INFO 4 slagging match.
The tilt has been scheduled in
Ell Centre stadium and will follow
a game between the versatile BraW-
lev Elks bloomer girls and Sher-
woods feminine club.
But back to the slugging match
possibilities. Originally the game
was slated to match Vernon Hare
against Joe Hurst. Then Hare
pulled up with an infected tooth
and Hurst pulled out on his Vaca-
ton
Then the duel was scheduled be-
tween Rubidoux for Brawley and
Chambers for Ell Centre. Some
thing happened to RubidouX anG
Chambers refused to pitch.
Now it looks like Nick Ellis for
BraWley and Bob O'Brien or Bill
Sunstrom Tor Ell Centro. Sunstrom,
however. is capable of turning in
a good performance. He was the
leading pitcher in strikeouts in the
city league this season.
The preliminary game will pro-
vide the majority OF fireworks, how
ever. The Brawley Elks Bloomer
girl team is composed of Brawley
business men. They will be dressed
in regular girls softball clothes.
The outfield averages $50 pounds
to the man and the infield will be
only slightly lighter, according to
advices from the northend.

The tiny Albanian was forced to

The odds do not give Grant even

But his courageous play has al
