Sign Feldn,an
FOrBOut

Matchmaker Goldie Ahearn to-
day announced the receipt of Lew
Feldman's signed contract, and
has given Norment Quarles, of
North Carolina, until tonight to
come through with his contract if
he's to get the bout with the New
Yorker, which will officially open
the indoor boxing season at Turn
er'S Arena one week from tonight.
Chris Dundee, pilot Of Quarles,
wants a bigger slice of the gate
for his charge, but Ahearn Is firm
IN his stand, and if Dundee doesn't
accept by tonight Goldie will seek
another opponent for Feldmsn.
The speedy New Yorker made
decided hit in his appearance here
a month ago in the ball park when
he defeated Paul Lee, while
QuarleS trounced Lew GevinSon.
The bout shapes up as a close one,
and should bring out a large gath
ering, providing of course that
Quarles puts his signature on the
contract today.-JACOBS.

Turner Seeks Referee
For ErElie-GinO Go

Promoter Joe Turner, with .
wrestling natural ON his hands
for Thursday night at the w
Street Arena, Is having his
headaches today, trying to find
a referee who will handle the
Ernie Dusek- GinO Garibaldi
headline attraction.
Benny BOrtnick definitely
stepped out as the third man
yesterday due to q heated argu-
ment that followed the first Joe
Dusek- -Garibaldi encounter, and
Cyclone Burns, the other ref
cree who works at the weekly
shows, is undecided whether to
take the assignment or not. The
Dusek family, especially Joe,
claimed Cyclone showed too
much partiality to Gino in the
second bout two weeks ago, and
now Ernie isn't anxious to have
him.
But, il the worse comes to
worse, Promoter Turner will
send to New York for George
BOthner, one Of the greatest
lightweight wreStIers in the
history Of the sport. George has,
and still does for that matter,
handle all the big graphing
tests in Gotham, and will come
here if the occasion warrants
it.
While the referee trouble
hangs over his head, Turner
signed his semi-finalists, Ed
MeSke and Ed Newman. The
winner of this settO is in line
for a top match with the sur
vivOr Of the feature bout, prob
ably the following Thursday

KEITH TOPS IN
DISTRICT LOOP

Eddie Keith, whose 1877 game
stood as an all.time league record
until Tony DeFino came along and
hiked the mark to 20S, today was
the season record holder in the
District League by virtue Of his
I'll wallop.
Marlboro Hotel sharpshooterS
had rifled their way to wins in
two games over Tru-Blu when
Keith turned the tide in the final
skirmish for the Takoma outfit
at Convention Hall last night.
Keith's 388 topped the match
with Perce Wolfe's SS2 leading
the 2-1 victory of the Marlboros.
The league-leadership remained
a deadlock when the Cuff and
Santini crew nipped Georgetown
Recreation in the odd game tilt
at Columbia. Tony Santini, shoot
ing 407, high set for the night in
the all-star circuit, led q team
charge that collected 1903 naples
for the set. Sam Benson's 374
and Pinky Bradt's 370 were i'm
portant blows for the losers who
lost by close margins in the first
two games.
A newcomer, Bill Martin, roll
ing 147-383. high for the match,
saved Convention Hall from be-
ing whitewashed by Diamond
Cab at Silver Spring. Lou Jen-
kins' 1868 featured for the cab
men.
Arcadia nipped Lucky Strike

Feller New Strikeout King
Cleveland Ace Fans Is; Year, Total 24O

NEW YORK, Oct. 3 (I.N.S.).
Pennant races that ran true to
the form which has prevailed in
. majority of recent seasons
were over today, with one of the
outstanding highIights of the
long and gruelling campaigns re-
served for the very last day.
This contribution to the Ameri.
can League race, which turned
drab with the early clinching of
the pennant by the New York
Yankees for the third straight
time, was the recOrd-Shattering
Strike-Out performance yesterday
by Bob Feller, papOOSe hurler of
the Cleveland Indians.
Although he lost the opening
game of a dOuble-header with
the Detroit Tigers by 4 to l,
Feller famed 18 batters TO break
the Or-league standard of II,
which he previously had shared
with Dizzy Dean.
With his performance of yes
terday, Feller clinched the strike
out leadership for the season,
his aggregate being 24O.
After surprisingly beating the
Iowa farmer boy, despite that
sterling performance, the Tigers
then went ahead and took the
night cap by 10 to 8, but in
neither game could Hank Green
berg, of the winners, get a
home run, and he thus finished
his quest of a new record with
. total of 5S, two behind the
mark hung up by Babe Ruth.
Outstanding feature of the
last day of the National League
race was the breaking Of an
other Strike-Out record, but the
exact reverse of FeIler'S. In this
one, Vince Di Maggie, Of the

when he cut lose, after making
three graceful body turns to
steam up power, and the tiny
wooden plugs fairly winged
through space, then you knew
you were looking at a real top
flight caster. Lees best tourna-
ment work, which brought him
to casting fame, was 309 feet in
the 3s OF. division and 396 feet
in the 5s-oz. class. While he
was short several feet in yester-
days classic of his previous
records, nevertheless he went
away from his nearest competl-
tors with plenty of space to
spare.
DR.. Waldo Howe, Of the st.
Petersburg Casting Club. was
runner-up in both the distance
events and took high-ranking
honors in the 3s-oz. accuracy and
dry-fly classics. DR.. Howe
and his good wife are devotees
to the fine and peaceful pastlme
of angling and lean strongly
to the scientific arm of the cast
ing game. Since last May,
when they left their Florida
home, they have fiShed in many
Of the famous trout and bass
streams, from the Midwest to
the East, and have participated
in no less than seven big cast
ing tournaments with marked
success. Mrs. Howe, the only
entrant of the weaker sex in the
tournament, appeared in the
5s-oz. accuracy event and placed
eighth with a splendid showing
of 80 per cent. The HoweS
are a migrating lot and will
leave shortly for their sunny
land home in st. Pete.
Youth must have its fling even
in the world of casting and up
pops Chuck johnson, a member
Of the National Capital Casting
Club, to give the local outfit its
first win. Chuck cast master

accuracy events, winning the
former with 95 per cent aver
age. In the 5s-oz. class he tied
with DR.. Waldo Howe, "a per
cent all, and lost to the more
experienced artist by three
points in the cast off. Chuck's
efforts in these two classes car
ried off the Herald, Times (Pat-
terson Newspapers) silver bowl
trophy, which becomes his perm
anent possession, not being a
year-by-year prize. Chuck was

heads Of the game as being the
finest prospect for world cham
pionship possibilities that has
shown locally in many years.

another member OF the club, Jay
Reed. Jay was almost perfect in
the wet-fly accuracy, scoring a
96. It was the belief of the
scorers that if the little puff Of
wind that appeared momentarily
had held off, the localite would
have whipped out the grand
total of 100 per cent. Yes. here's
another world champion in the
making.
AMATEURS EVENTS
The two fishermen's events,
for novices without tournament
platform experience, were GER
tainly well contested and brought
out some fine talent. Norman
Pines proved to be the best
simon-pure caster, going away
with first place in the 3s-ounce
accuracy and running in show
position in the wet-fly event. Alb
Rowe was really standout in
the wet-fly accuracy with an
astonishing score of 95 per cent,
but Alb is a born fly fisherman
and we are told that he's poison
to trout and bass over the light
tackle route.
Jack Rogers, sole representa-
tive of the Columbus Casting
Club of Ohio, was another visi-
tor who broke into the win
column, taking two place posi-
tionS and a fourth to carry
off triple prizes. Jack was &C.
companied by his charming
mother and Mr.. and Mrs. Wal
lace Hill and their daughter,
Mary Jane. The party came
especially for the tournament,
but they're taking in the sights
of Washington before their de-
parture. Jack is an up-and-com-
ing caster in the scientific world
of angling and we imagine if
you look up his record at the
close of another year you'll find
his name among the ranking
topnotcherS. Yes, we're told that
Mary Jane is quite some caster
in her own right, having
reached the 80 per cent on one
occasion.

TOW NSEND HAS LOST HIS APPEAL
Old Age Pension Leader Is Held Guilty By U. s.
 District Court

Washington, Feb. 7.-UP).-The U. s. court of appeals today up- held the conviction of Dr. Francis E. Townsend, old age pension leader, on charges of contempt of a house committee Investigating his activi- ties. Townsend is under sentence of 30 days in jail and a $100 fine. He was cited for contempt of the house on March 12, 1887, after he walked out of committee hearing, Investigating old age pensions.
 Townsend interrupted the hearing, asserting he no longer would "toler- ate inquisitorial methods" of mem bers of the committee.
 His Act Deliberate
 The circuit court decision, writ ten by Associate Justice Justin Miller, held that Dr. Townsend's act was deliberate and cited his state ment to the committee saying that he would leave the hearing. Answer ing Dr. Townsend's contention that he had right to leave, Justice Miller said: "A legislative inquiry may be as broad, as searching and as exhaustive as necessary to make effective the constitutional powers of congress"
 A dissenting opinion was filed by Associate Justice Harold Stephens. He held the conviction should be re- vreSed on grounds that Dr. Town send had a right to use evidence showing "evil intent of the investi- gating committee"

Cash of $2o,OOO has been offered Walter Perry, bank commissioner and receiver of the Merchants Trust company, for mortgage on a four story brick building at 1058-1062 Bank street.
 The S20,0O0 is offered in place of the $21, ,984.46 yet due on an origi- nal mortgage for $25 1000.

McEvoy Friday morning.
 Commissioner Perry is of the opinion that the compromise would greatly aid in the liquidation of the banks assets; but says that the of fer should be accepted more par ticularly because of the location of the building.

Local Italians WU Hold Protest Meeting
Policies of Waterbury Republican=American; John De PastinO Speaks Again

notwithstanding the fact that the Waterbury Republican and Amer ican has attempted to adopt more conciliatory attitude, local Italian societies continued today with prep arations to hold general mass meeting to protest the editorial po- licy of the two papers ill criticizing the Italian government and reflect ing unfavorably on the Italian peo- pie. Despite the Republicans cry of City Hall' and Red Herrings'' |, the protest here continues to grow in volume.
 Delegates Are Named
 Yesterday morning in Moose hall at one of the best attended meet ings in months the Italian Brother hood went on record in naming four delegates to attend the general protest meeting when plans are completed. The Brotherhood joins to date the Pontelandolfo society and the Italian American Italian Dramatic society. Other organiza- tions will meet this week to name their delegates for an official pres entation of their grievances and for the purpose of going on record as taking definite retaliatory action if their request is not given friendly conSidera ton.

White Haired Preacher Is ShotDead m His Parsonage

Frederick, St. Simons Island, Ga, Feb. 7-(UP)-Police feared today that they might never know who killed 75-year old Charles H. Lee, a benign, whte-haired preacher, who was shot through the temple while working in the peace of his parson- age, on his Sunday sermon. The Rev. Lee was 8 member of the Lees of Virginia and, therefore kinsman Of Robert E. Lee. He was pastor Of historic Christ church here whose first pastor was John Wesley, found- CT of Methodism.
 So far as police could determine, the old man had not an enemy Ill the world. He was killed by .38 caliber pistol bullet fired through the window of his study. Two bull lets broke the glass in one pane of the multi-paned window, half hour apart. The first embedded itself m the wall. The second killed him.
 In tAe absence of any l@iely mo- tivation, police considered the pos sibility that an island fisherman, celebrating of Saturday night. had
