H0GSETT HURLS
Red Ruffing Attempts
To Halt Winning
Streak of Mats
BY FRANK BUCK" o'NEML

NEW YORK CITY, April %.
Gotham's fandom thrills today to
a new sensation. The Yankees are
home to open the season in the
house that Ruth built by the
sludgy Harlem River, and they're
in seventh place, nodding along
as level as a string, just in front
Of the Philadelphia Athletics. The
Nationals are romping out in front
with three victories to their credit.
Maybe it's just a prank Of spring,
but prank or otherwise, it's real;
the boys lead the league.
Elon Hogsett, the veteran left
handler who showed some fine
pitching during the spring train
ing trip, will pitch for Washing
ton, and Charley Ruffing will
work for the Yankees. Not Yam
kee pitcher has gone the route in
four games; even Lefty Gomez.
who was credited with the only
victory for the Yankees, was re-
lieved. All three Of the Washing
ton started went the route, al
though Yves Ferrell was just lucky
in working on day when an in
Spired team just about tore the
cover off the ball.
$4,000 TO SEE TILT
With favorable weather, which
Is doubtful, perhaps $4,000 fans
will salute the Yankees and Ma
tionalS. The teams will play in
opposition to the 1888 renewal of
the Giants-Dodger feud. A capac-
ity crowd will jam Ebbets Field.
Commissioner Kenesaw Noun
tain Lands, high commissioner
Of baseball, will present the cham
pionship trophies to the Yankees.
Capt. Francis Sutherland and his
10th Infantry Band will be on
hand.
Mayor Fiorello H. LaGuardia
will not toss out the first ball. He
is out of the city on business. New
bold Morris, president of city
council, will pinch-pitch for La
Guardia.
The Griffs, riding on a wave Of
enthusiasm look forward to a con-
quest of the Yankees without too
much difficulty. They appreciate
the fact that the Rupert Rifles
are not to be compared with the
hapless Athletics, who made only
a show of resistance in three
games at Griffith Stadium. The
Yankees, however, are founder

the Churchill Downs classic car
ries a romance and glamour that
no other race can match.
Bull Lea, of Calumet Farms,
stepped into the front rank of
favorites for the K lucky
Derby yesterday by cracking the
track record at Keeneland,
down in Lexington, over one
mile and a sixteenth. Covering
the distance in 1:44 he beat the
highly favored Menow in hol-
low style, and ran knee deep
into the ground. The last named
Is a Derby eligible.
Charts of the race show that
Menow, which won a few days
ago with Charlie Kurtsinger in
the saddle, was caught flat
footed at the barrier and prac-
tically left at the post. For that
reason we will reserve decision
on him.
The Washington times., 1938-04-22
Has Quality

There can be no doubt on the
quality of Bull Lea. He was
follin' along when he flashed
past the wire, giving every indi-
cation of a colt that could go
the route. He carried ITO pounds,
eight less than Menow logged.
Packing 1875 pounds and going
the full mile and one-quarter
may stop Bull Lea, but his per-
Torrance certainly was one to
inspire confidence not only in
his owner, but likewise among
the betting public.
This will not be Warren
Wright's first bid for honors in
the Kentucky Derby. Just a
couple of years ago his colorS
were carried by Nellie Flag, a
finely bred filly, which was
highly regarded. Nellie Flag
went the way of all fillieS ex-
cept Regret. The latter was the
only female of the equine species
that ever won the Derby.
The hopes Of Hal Price Head
ley were buffeted yesterday not
once, but twice for Dab He, an
other Derby eligible was beaten
In a whip and spur finish by
Stand Alone. The time was
;. l:46 3-5 or 23-5 seconds slower
than Bull LEAFS time.

Hard to Beat

1.-THE Red Sox will be hard to
beat"
A hard-bitten veteran Of the
New York Yankees gave the
writer that tip on the American
League pennant race this morn
ing as we broke bread in the
Hotel New Yorker.
Joe Cronin has his boys huS-
ting. 1t may be said here and
now that the Red Sox showed
me the best baseball I saw on
the Southern trip. Their play
against Brooklyn at Sarasota
was of championship caliber,
and apparently they are now out
to carry their speed through the
championship race.
The victory of Jim Bagby, jr.,
seems to have fired the Red Sox
and they really mean business.
Bob Doerr, the young infielder
from California, is red hot and
playing sensational baseball.
The Yankees can't hit. Lou
Gehrig is just another young
man at the plate. He has
neither form nor power, and,
believe it or not. Boston fans
howled three out" when he
went to bat once yesterday.
Gordon is a sweet fielder, but
he has shown no indication of
being a Yankee type of hitter.
Score one for the Chicago
Cubs. Curt Davis, who figured
in the Dizzy Dean trade, was
knocked out Of the box yeSter-
day.

SAVOLDI WINS
Thunderbird WrestIes
Despite Death of
Infant Son
BY BOB ADDIE

ny DOD GADNAS
The long arm of the law inter
rupted the more or less private
parties Uncle Joe Turner has been
staging at his wrestling emporium
on Fourteenth Street last night
and one spectator was arrested.
The overzealouS fan was booked
at the U Street Station No. 2,
charged with disorderly conduct.
He gave his name as Walter F..
Gray, SO, Of 1872 Columbia Road
N. w., a vacuum cleaner salesman.
RELEASED ON BOND
Patrolman Morris Silverman
lodged the complaint against
Gray, who staged a rumpus during
the Joe Savoldi-Chief Thunder
bird bout. Sergeant Robert A.
Johnson took Gray to the station,
where he was held for an hour
then released after posting a $40
collateral.
There was an element Of sad
ness IN the Savoldi-T hunderbird
match. It was learned the Chiefs
four-month-old son lay dead in
Victoria, British Columbia, when
the Indian entered the ring. Sa-
voldi won the match with his
famous dropkick in "a minutes,
and the Chief was half dragged
from the ring wit ha cut mouth
which oozed rivulets Of blood.
After the match, the Chief sat
in his dressing room stunned. He
didn't weep or make any sound.
He sat dumbly slipping a soft
drink. Savoldi learned the Chief
had a young son and went over
to Thunderbird.
TRAGIC SCENE
Congratulations on your
boy" Savoldi said.
Congratulations" the Chief
repeated. Hes dead"
Gee, I'm sorry. My sincerest
condolences" Joe Stammered. Il
didn't know. I misunderstood.
I have a boy OF my own, you
know. He's 4 years old. I'm
sorry, Chief. I didn't know"
There was a dead silence in the
room. Jesse James smoothed his
hair down nervouSly. Big Chief
Sanooke thrust a fat arm about
Thunderbird and clutched a piece
Of chicken in his other hand.
Thunderbird stood up and faced
the wall.
-Four years DID," was all he
said.
SAvOLDI TO QUIT
Savoldi, who arrived from a
two-year trip abroad last week,
revealed he will quit wrestling
soon. Joe is getting his law de-
gree this summer and intends to
practice in his home town, Three
Oaks, Mich. The former Notre
Dame football star started from
San Francisco two years ago, Wis
tied Honolulu and the Fiji Islands,
then went on to Africa, India and
Europe.
Joe said there is an air of tense
ness on the Continent.
IT'S nothing you read or See,"
he explained. Its something
you feel. The people seem to be
almost religiously enthusiastic
about sporting events. There's
the same air that must have ex-
listed when the world was at war
you know, live today, because
you may be gone tomorrow. In
Paris I wrestled Henri DeGlane
at the PalaiS de Sports and we
drew 10000 people.

MISS KINCAID'S.
50 LEADS EARLY.
GOLF FINISHERS.
BY LILLIAN RIXEY


With gusts Of wind and spatters
Of rain sweeping the Washington
Golf and Country Club links, the
Phyllis Keller women's invitation
tournament got under way early
this morning to a slow start.
Cancellations poured in by phone,
but as the day wore on more and
more hardy golfers showed up
with windbreakers buttoned close
and hair tucked in under rainy
day feltS. BY early afternoon the
links we're swarming with some so
golfers, all out to beat the weather
and their handicap ratings.
Forst to tee off were Mrs. NAL
colin Dent and Mrs. William Kerr,
Of Beaver Dam, and Mrs. R. A..
Lacey, Of Columbia, each with an
18 handicap.
The Army and Navy captured
the first tee between 8:15 and
$50 when five players from that
club took off one fight after the
other.
Next to stride out and tee off
in the teeth of the wind were two
Washington Golf and Country
players, Mrs. George Roney and
Mrs. Douglas Tschiffeley, accom-
panied by Mrs. Leo ]. Walper,
unattached. Mrs. Walper is dark
hourse of the day and in the
early round was playing par golf
or better.
Feature Of the early morning
round was the play Of Ellen Kin
caid, indian Spring, and Mrs. F.
G. Godfrey, Of eBaver Dam. Miss
Kincaid, who was sensibly dressed
in a beret and dark brown pull
ever, is the defending titleholder.
She led the early finishes with a
gross SO and a low net 80. Mrs.
Godfrey had a little trap trouble,
and finished with gross OF SO and

Tearing Process
Very Complicated
Dr. cendenine Describes How. Sound Gels Into the
Inner Organ. Of the Ear ~s

with thelfrequency Of vibration, and
timbre with the pattern of the wave.
The middle ear, with the drum
membrane, probably is responsible
for analysing and picking out differ
ences in intensity. The inner ear,
with all the little nerve endings, is
responsible for analyzing the differ
ences in pitch.
Theories Disagree
The theories which account for
pitch are not in agreement. There
are, however, two which are gener-
ally held. One assumes that all Of
the nerve iendings of the inner ear
vibrate as whole aperiodically, like
the transmitting and receiving discs
of the telephone. The second as
sumes that certain structures or
parts vibrate separately, periodl-
cally, as the various strings OF q
piano vibrate. :,
The range of the human ear IS
fairly small. It ranges from 16 to
&c, 900 variations per second. Below
is we hear. puffs Of air as from a
wind instrument or individual beats
from a string. Other animals can
hear sounds as if they were musical
sounds. far above and far below this
range. In the middle range of 100
to / 900 we hear best and can distin-
puish differences in pitch OF one
vibration. per second. 1t is in this
range that all important musical
compositions are composed.
IT has been calculated that there
are IL 900 different pitches which
the ear can detect and, therefore. on
the inside cochlea there are ll,VUU
different nerve endings.

ant Snowman, here the night OF sun
dav. January 16, was in court at the
start of the special term of Vance Su-
perior Court today for trial of Grim

called late this afternoon.
Fairbanks was brought here Sun
day afternoon by Sheriff J. b. HAM
lett from Nash county Jail at Nash
Vile where he had been held since
his preliminary hearing before re
corder r. E. Clements in county court
January 81. Sheriff Hamlet said the
prisoner talked little of the case ana
there were no new developments that
he knew Of.

appointed by Recorder Clements 10

There was some talk in the court
room today that the trial may go oVel

Vance Superior Court for trial OF civil
cases, which will convene on MONDAY
March Z. It appeared that under the
call for the extra term of court moth

the six months grand jury" empan-

so at the March and June sessions OF
the regular court, would not have au-
thority to function in an extra term.
The Fairbanks case has not yet been

wounding of Steve, Good occurred on

SMOKEHOUSE FIRE
DESTROYS MEATS
Hamilton Stewart Heavy
Loser In Blaze Last Sat-
urday Night

Hamilton Stewart. one of Vance
countys most prosperous farmers, lost
a large quantity of meat when his
smokehouse was destroyed by fire
early Saturday evening. No estimate
was had today as to the exact value
Of the hams, sidemeat and othe~
choice cuts that were lost in the
flames, but it was believed to be sew
eral hundred dollars.
A call came to city firemen for help,
and Fire Chief E. T. Shepherd took
a chemical tank and raced to the
scene, some four or five miles east
of town, arriving in time to save other
buildings. The smokehouse was too
far gone for him to be of service
here.
The meat was hanging in the
smokehouse icing cured, when flames
leaped to the wood structure from
the fire underneath, igniting it and
carrying it to destruction.
Mr. Stewart lost his home several
years ago, but has since rebuilt a
new and finer residence on his large
farm.

discharged last Saturday from Maria
Parham hospital, where she had been
under treatment sine the t-Sedy to
her husband for critical injuries she
received at the same time at the
handsof the youthful helper who trav-
eled about with the couple as they
gave their miniature circus in schools
and elsewhere. They were here for a
performance in Henderson high school
the day following the tragedy.
Mr.. Zollicoffer said Mrs. Good would
be offered as a witness at the trial,
whenever it is held, and will tell of
the character and conduct of her hus-
band. She has not yet been able to
relate any facts about the tragedy
She can remember incidents of their
arrival in Henderson, and up to near
the time Fairbanks admitted he at
tackled Good and his wife, but her
memory carries no further
The widow of the slain man is still
in Henderson awaiting disposition of
the case and under observation OF
doctors.
In court today, Fairbanks was held
IN the prisoner pen. he appeared not
to te the least worried about charges
he faces. He watched procedure and
enterd after the lunch hour putting
at a cigarette, and with several let
tiers stuck in a hip pocket of his
trousers He wore a tan shirt and
dark gray trousers and the boots he
had on when he was given a prelim-
mary hearing.
Just when Judge Clawson l.. VIII

ton in the matter of Fairbanks trial
was not known in late afternoon
Should the case be called for trial at
this session, however, there was an
opinion a special venire would be
summoned from which to select a
jury.
