STONE HOPEFUL !.
OF RETURN TO
TEAM IN SPRING

There's a chap UP in Saranac
Lake, N. Y. who, unlike so many
of us, is not thinking Of a Christ
mas stocking, q Yule Log or where
q not-too expensive dinner-dance
may be had on New Year Eve,
but who is pining for Spring and
the babble Of baseball men and
the hollow humping of ash
against horSehide.
He is Johnny Stone, whipping a
temporary illness and whipping it
standing up, while you're making
out your list for Christmas remem-
brance cards, you'd better jot
down the Mr.. and Mrs. Johnny
Stones, and Johnny, jr., Trudeau
Sanitarium, Saranac Lake, N. Y.
for that's where the trio will
spend December Is.
To a man in Johnny's fix, who
knows what it is to have the adu-
lation Of the mob, nothing would
be q better tonic for what ailS
him than to know the gang down
here in Washington hasn't for
gotten him.
ILCONCEIVED STORY
Johnny recently read an ill
conceived story giving the 1899
lineup of the Washington ball
club. The name of Johnny
Stone" did not appear on the
roster.
Stone has been making splen.
did progress, but when he read
the Washington personnel for
next season and found himself
missing, his temperature took a
squirt and his respiration became
a bit hating.
For where sickness has lain
siege, often the mind is not as
alert as it should be and even the
faSt.thinking Stone didn't stop to
convince himself that nobody
knows the 1899 roster of the Wash
ington ball club, not even Bucky
Harris.
However, he wrote Owner Clark
Griffith and persisted in his con-
viction that he will be quite well
by spring and ready to report at
Orlando.
Griffith Immediately treasured
the ailing man that complete
recovery Tor Stone would please
him as much as it would Johnny,
and that his job in the Washing
ton garden is open and yawning
for him.
Stone, shortly before the wrote
Griff, also addressed Club House
Boy and Assistant Trainer
Frankie Baxter, boasting Of his
satisfactory progress.
HOPES RUN HIGH
With continued progress, he's
going to begin to take short strolls
around the ground, and if all goes
lwell-and there's nobody reading
these lines who doesn't hope 1t
will-he'll ask Johnny, jr., to poke
around and see if there isn't an
old baseball or two.
At first there'u be tossing and
throwing, and later some light bat
ting practice, until finally Big
John hopes to be knocking those
balls UP into the foothills.
And before that Christmas rush
gets on you-let'S not forget that
greeting card to the Stones.
What-say!

TECH RALLIES
TO WIN; RIDERS,
INDIANS LOSE
BY PAUL BEACH

Tech Highs cagers today claim
the distinction of being the lone
victors of the three interhigh
quintets that saw action last night
in pre-conference tits. The Nc
Kinley aggregation. coached by
Bruce KesSler. staged a valiant
rally to overcome a 1912 ad-
vantage which Bethesda Chevy
Chase held at half-time, emerging
on the long end of a 26-18 score
in the Marylanders' gym.
In the other two tits, Anacostia
succumbed 10 Mt. Rainier, 34-28,
in the Indians gym and RooSe-
velt lost a hard-fought battle to
Baltimore City College, 1876,
when Richardson gained the hero'S
laurels by scoring the winning bas-
ket in an overtime period in the
Rough Riders gym.
Sidney Schulman and Jack
Walsh were the stars of the
Trainers triumph while Johnny
Schunate spanked the losers and
led the scoring with eight points.
Baltimore's center, Workman,
tailed IA points to pace the Roose-
welt games scoring, while Ernest
Travis and Capt. Billy Robertson
were best for the Riders, with
8 and 7 points, respectively.
Montgomery Blair Highs quint
took a 1913 halftime lead over
Richard Montgomery High from
Rockville and coasted through the
second period to register a 26-15
victory. Johnny Norris, with IL
tallies, was the victors' scoring
ace.
Slaughter, stellar forward of
Charlotte Hall, was the evenings
scoring leader, with 8 points,
when Woodward Prep was turned
back in the Central Y. M. C. A.
gym, 18-11. It was Charlotte
fourth straight triumph.

any one of which added to his
1898 winnings Of $19,039 would
have put him over the $40, 900
mark he has set as his goal this
year. AS a matter Of fact, he has
long since passed the all-time
record Of annual winnings set
by HORTON SMI tn in 1929
with $15,550. The rest Is so
much gravy, but SAMMY wants
to stick up q mark this year for
his brother pros to shoot at.
On to Pasadena
But unless something remark
able happens the Miami prizes
Of $2,5O0 for first, $3.50 sec
ond and 81 900 third are not for
SNEAD this year. His only other
chance to reach that $780, 900
mark by years end is for him
to get out to the coast in time
for the Pasadena Rose Bowl
event, which carries q total
purse Of 5000.
Next on the years money
winning list to SNEAD Is
JOHNNY REVOLTA, who has
fung up $3.50 on his personal
cash register during 1898. Light

p. G. A. champ, fourth, with
STATS. RALPH GULDAHL,
years best pro golfer. is fifth in
the money ranks with a total
take Of $5,842.
California offers the next bar
rage of money tournaments to
attract the pros. First on the
list, after the Pasadena affair,
Is the Los Angeles 5000 Open,
January 60. Oakland'S Open,
also for 5000, begins four days
later and runs through the 18th.
On January 10, San Francisco
stages its $1,000 match-play
tourney, which lasts until the

$1,000 Open at Del Mar, Febru-
ary IS!
Quite a few of the pros are
pointing for the $4,000 New

which may draw as many en-
tries as this years huge list OF
Miami starters, 200 in all.

JURY TO PROBE
GILBERT USE Of
HYPNOTIC SKILL
Police Charge He Aided
Prospective Mothers

GLENDALE, Cal, July 6 0NS0
Battling new phases Of the alleged
Hypnotic death" Of Mrs. Marie
Colombos, 23-y r-o d expectant
mother, were developing today as
the district attorneys office took
charge of the bizarre case.
AS the mystery of the young
mothers death deepened. Robert
Avery Gilbert, 40, once known on
the stage as Gilbert the Great" I"
remained In jail on suspicion Of
murder, although the district at
torney's office has declined to
issue a murder complaint against
him on the ground that the cause
Of her death is not known.
JURY TO ACT
Gilbert, whose asserted powers
Of hypnotism recently brought him
into the limelight here when he
assisted in the hypnotic birth of a
child, has admitted. police declare,
that he was in the Colombos house
alone with Mrs. Colombos when
she died.
He had been called there, he
claimed, by the woman's husband,
George Colombos, a bartender,
to discuss the possibility Of a
hypnotic birth of the expected
child, six months hence.
Detectives contend Gilbert was
called not to aid in the birth by
hypnosis, but to prevent it.
Because of this claim on the
part of police, it was learned the
county grand jury plans to in
Vestigate Gilbert's recent activ-
Aties.
GILBERT DEFENDED
Police asserted they had in
formation that Gilbert had
"aided" other young women in
avoiding prospective motherhood,
partly by the use Of his hypnotic
powers.
AS the probe got fully under
way, Gilbert, through his attorney,
Charles H. Clark, said the hypno-
tist stood ready to defend the
"Science" he practices.
