MRS. HAHN CALM.
AS SHE LEARNS.
SHE NJ U ST Die.
Breaks Down Later,
Weeps In Her Cell

COLUMBUS. Ohio, April 13
UN.SO.-Anna Marie Hahn, Gin
cinnati poison murderess, main
tanned surface calm today when
Warden James C. Woodland ad-
vised her that the State Supreme
Court has turned down her ap-
peal and set May 4 for her exc
cution, but shortly after the
warden left her cell a guard re-
ported Mrs. Hahn was "storming
and crying"
Il had a feeling the court
would rule against me-" Warden
Woodland quoted Mrs. Hahn as
replying when he told her of
the courts rejection of her ap-
peal.
mot SURPRISED"
I'm not surprised" she con-
tinued, lit couldn't be helped, I
guess"
Warden Woodward lost little
time in carrying the word to Mrs.
Hahn in death row where she and
IL condemned men await execu-
ton for murder.
Mrs. Hahn walked across the
cell and sat down in her rocker
to hear the fateful message. Out
wardly calm and composed, she
heard the warden tell her she has
only three weeks to live, then
aSke . that he send wire to her
attol ney, Hiram C. Bolsinger, ST.,
in Cincinnati.
Soon after the warden had re.
turned to the prison office came
word from death-row guard that
"She has changed her tune and is
storming and crying"
ONLY ONE HOPE
Now, barring a possible appeal
to the United States Supreme
Court on constitutional grounds,
the 31-year-old German immi-
grant convicted of the poison
murder of Jacob Wagner, 70, a
Cincinnati gardner, has only one
hope of avoiding the chair-an
appeal to Governor Martin L.
Davey for executive clemency.
FORGED CHECK
Mrs. Hahn went on trial Octo.
Der II, 1887, for the Staying of
Wagner, who died on the day the
woman presented a forged $1,000
check on him to a Cincinnati
bank.
A jury of II women and one
man convicted her of murder and
failed to recommend mercy. Judge
Bell overruled a motion for a new
trial and sentenced her to die
March 10 in the electric chair
The blonde former school
teacher entered Ohio Penitentiary
early in December, the only
woman among more than 1000
men conVictS.
An appeal to the State supreme
court a few days before she was
to have died gave her an auto,
matte stay of execution.
If she is executed she will be
the first woman ever electrocuted
in Ohio.

|TRIAN GILES AND
 TIGERS CLASH IN NE. Y FEATURE
Pals vs Ramblers, Cadets and Wolves in Action
 Tonight
BY JIM JANNETTY

With two more weeks of play, and the Pals and Wolves tied for first place, the Triangles game behind, the N. E. Y. Senior league presents another interesting triple bill tonight at the Y branch with the first tussle getting underway at 2 D. m. The top teams, the Pals and Wolves, play the Ramblers and Cadets respectively, the former squads are favored as both quin- tets have set back the Ramblers and the Cadets twice apiece in league competition, but surprises may be in store as many ypsets have been scored so far in league games this current season.
 The Ricciuti cohorts will open the evening proceedings at ' o. clock when they tackle the Ram blers. The Blue and Gray will be out for their 10th victory in league competition.
 Capt. Pete Polletti and Joe Ri- naldi are expected to lead the Pals attack while the Chestone cohorts have Gerry and Bacco as their mainStays.
 The feature encounter of the evening will bring the third place Tigers and second place Triangles together in what should be a thrill CT. Both quintents had split their two games played in the league and tonight's tussle will be a tossup. The probable lineup:
 J. Cehentano, If .... If, A. Jacovino R. Guerrero, If ........ If, J. Rossi CalO, c ......... c, G. MaZZeferrO T. SantaLucia, rg :. R. Mazzeferro F. Place, lg ........ lg, J. Petrocine
 Concluding the nights offerings, will be the tied for first place Wolves and the fighting Cadets. The Abriola men are favored, but the Cadets, who last week upset the Tigers, are to be counted as a pushover. The Cadets have been strengthened by the addition of Danny Sforza, who was pastiming with Wilby earlier in the season.
 Ralph Santopietro and John Bri- otti up and coming officials, whose work has pleased the local fans, will officiate. Ralph Cooke, Y phy- sical director, predicts another ca pacity crowd.

him as present. Such behavior makes me chuckle when I stop and think of all the things I know about those dear, dear chappies, and how they conduct amateur tennis. It pleases me to know that they know I know what know, if you follow me-"
 Perry, now on his second trans continental tour with Vines, does not regret his desertion of the anna teur ranks.
 "As a simon pure amateur, he laughingly said, "the best I could make a year was between $15,000 and $2O,O00. And I do quite a bit better than that now"
 Perry is of the opinion that the U. s. l.. T. A. and the British or ganization must operate along the same lines. Else, he asked, how could one explain that 8 group of our ranking players-Riggs, Sabm and Hines, to mention three of them were appearing as a cabaret at traction in Nassau
 When we were there few weeks ago the American players were play ing once day on the courts of this certain hotel, and their appearances were advertised in the paper. Now, I ask you, where does amateurism end and professionalism begin?" I was too busy three putting to answer.

UNDERWOODS TO. OPPOSE LITHS IN RETURN TILT.
Hartford Winners Over K. of L. Here Saturday
 Night

Hartford's Underwoods, only club to beat the K. of L. in the last eight games the LithA have played, will invade St. Josepn's hall Saturday night in an effort to sweep the two game series.
 The teams met at Hartford two weeks ago with the Underwoods chalking up 39-30 decision as the Knights played one of their poorest games of the year to end a four game winning splurge.
 The Liths have won their last six home starts and only the fray with the Underwoods mars their slate in the last eight games. They want nothing more than to whip the Un- derwoods soundly to back up their contention that 1t was just an off, night performance which licked them.
 However, they will have no easy time dispoSing of the visitors who are holding second place in the Hartford Industrial circuit with nine victories against one setback, a mere half game behind the strong United Aircraft array.
 St. Joseph's Holy Name will tan- gle with Tony Bergin's Litchfield Cowboys in the 7:3O preliminary contest.

By HENRY McLEMORE United Press Staff COrresn0ndent

Daytona Beach, Fla, March g. (UP)-It seems incredible when one remembers how much the man did for the establishment, and how it's officials lionized him for so many years, but not so long ago the West Side Tennis club at Forest Hills grew quite indignant when Ellsworth Vines was seen having a bite to eat in the dining room, and then almost threw straight-set fit when he wandered into the marquee by the No court.
 This charming bit of gratitude on the part of a club which benefited to the tune of thousands of dollars on Vines amateur performances was recounted to me by Fred Perry as we stalked through the rough of golf course here yesterday. Perry was United States singles champion at the time and had asked Vines, then a professional, to be his lunch con guest and to use his seat in the marquee during the matches.
 Vines was still on his soup course when an outraged official signaled to Perry and flatly told him that Vines could not eat in the club. Holding the whip-hand, and know ing it, Perry replied by saying that if his guests could not eat in the club he would prefer not to play in the championship. That settled that very beautifully, and the same an- swcr settled the pompous old badge wearer who executed mental foot-fault when the former Ameri- can champion and Davis cup player took a seat in the marquee.
 Perry was given an even more gracious reception when he returned to Wimbledon as a professional last year.
 T had no idea the chaps at Vim bledon wouldn't still be friendly" the Britisher said, but they treated me as if I were ruddy leper. They made it quite plain that I was not welcome and showed me my locker, with my name blacked off the door. I am not quite sure, but I believe they dipped 1t in an antiseptic. One of the fellows, a second-rate player who used to travel around with me to small tournaments on the British team marched up and said: Really, Fred, old fellow, you really shouldn't come in here, you know"
 That, according to Perry, was a bit too thick for him to stomach so with a goodly crowd listening on, he proceeded to "tick the fellow off"
 After mentioning how frightfully grateful Wimbledon had been when he brought the Davis cup and all- England singles title back home. he reminded the player of the days when he (the player) had made many trips, on fat expense accounts simply because Perry was along and won the tournaments.
 Not so long ago Perry received 8 letter from an off1cia lof the h. ternational club reminding him that he must never again wear his club sweater.
 T made sure he wouldn't have tc worry about me wearing it." Fred said. T travelled 1t until only 6 sleeve or 50 was left and sent 1t tC
