Merle Oberon thought that she
was being followed by hold-up men
when she was in New York; she
was sure that they followed her
from a theater to night club, and
asked for protection. At least, that
was the report-it might have been
just another variation Of the old
idea involving an actress being
robbed of her jewels, all for the
dear sake of publicity. Anyway,
Miss Oberon wasn't robbed.

ODDS ON SARR0N
over GEv|NSON
BOOSTED TO ri.
BY BOB ADDIE

Washington's first boxing show
on the outdoor menu-Slightly
warmed over but still tasty dish
will be presented at Griffith
Stadium tonight when Peter Sar-
ron faces Louis Gevinson in ten
rounds or less.
BY this time today, the boys
expected to be reading the war
bulletins Of how they rose to glori-
GUS heights or flopped to ignomin-
ious defeat. But the weather held
the show over for a day and the
fight talk has been merely famed
into a higher flame.
SARRON CALM
The postponement has caused
the odds to jump to 2-1, largely
because of the mental strain on
the younger GevinSon who is un-
used to this nerve-wracking wait
ing. Sarron took the delay in
stride and went to movie last
night then to bed early. Neither,
of course, pulled on a boxing
glove. Each has come through
successfully without injury and
there is no sense in tempting the
tickle fates further.
Gevinson was put through a
hard imbering-up drill by Man
ager Matt Twomey to keep that
important edge. A fighter is often
trained to the exact moment Of
the time of battle and delay
dullS his edge and sharpenS his
nerveS-if we're not too confus-
ing.
The plans of battle of both
fighters remain unchanged. Gev-
inson still depends on those twin
sleep-producerS to halt the ad-
vance of the ex.featherweight
champion who has yet to lose a
fight on his march through the
lightweight division.
NO SET ATTACK
Sarron actually hasn't any set
mode of attack but he has fought
guys who pitched from the left
side before so he knows pretty
well what he'll do in there under
the blanket of blue at Mr.. Clark
Griffith's baseball yard. Petey
generally waits until he's In the
ring before he starts analyzing his
foes style and then he draws the
blue prints with his gloved fists.

versity will fight it out for the
crown. Not only are these teams

recent 6S-63 duel meet, won by

Maryland, without a contestant

by FhANA DUN v NzAA1
CLEVELAND, Ohio, May 20.
Opportunity is pounding on the
door Of Kendall Chase. using brass
knuckles to be sure that he hears.
There is a spot in the starting
four for someone who can stand
out on the pitching hill and turn
in winning baseball. In fact, there
are two spots, since Yves Ferrell
and Dutch Leonard are the only
two who definitely rate starting
assignments.
II hope it will be Chase" Bucky
Harris said this morning in dis
cussing the pitching, or rather,
the lack of pitching. If I had had
the slightest inkling that the game
in Detroit was going to end as it
did, I would have left Ken in the
box. It would have helped him
rather than harmed him, for he
had as much stuff as any pitcher
needs. Its Just a matter Of control
with him"
If Leonard can pitch back this
afternoon to his previous game
against the Indians, the fans out
here will see a great game. OF
course, Bobby Feller will not be
in there against him, but Leonard
will need no foil If he has the
same amount of stuff that he had
on May 4 in Washington. Johnny
Allen will pitch for Cleveland.

Jimmy DeShong emerged from

frequent lapSes from form.
Granting, for the sake Of argu-
ment that DeShong retains the
rank tentatively awarded to him

a fourth. Weaver, Appleton and
Chief Hogsett are listed as spot
pitchers and relief men. Kelley
is in the same category. Kohlman

chucked it yesterday after the sec

were a most complacent group un-

uncompromising in his spirit OF

eighth inning with Lewis on base
was one Of the heartening gestures
of the afternoon.

Money From Sale

Plans to Expand

Money derived from the sale OF the
Henry Kirke Porter property, Six
teenth and I streets NV, will be
used by the Library of Congress and
the Smithsonian Institution to ad-
vance their work for "the diffusion
of knowledge among men,"
Following the announcement Of
the gift to the two establishments
by Miss Annie-May Hegeman In
memory of her stepfather, DR.. Her
bert Putnam, Librarian of Congress,
explained that the Library of Con-
gress Trust Fund Board has been
striving for more than a dozen years
to provide honorariums for consult
ants needed to supervise specific
collections of books and manuscripts
and to advise the public In their
use.
Consultant Group Is Small.
"Our consultants," he said, "con-
stitute small group-never over
seven in number-and until re-
Gently only one of them rested on
a permanent endowment. Each is
a specialist in some useful field of
knowledge, associated with the Ii
brary in a purely advisory capacity.
The fields already represented have
been European history, church his
tory, archaeology, philosophy, soci-
ology, economics, political science,
pure science, poetry, comparative
literature. I believe that Miss Hege-
mans gift may make it possible
for us to engage the assistance of
several additional consultants in de-
partments hitherto neglected. 1t
will be a satisfaction to me if I can
develop endowments for at least a
dozen consultant-advisors before I
finish my work for the Library.
DR.. Charles G.. Abbot, secretary
of the Smithsonian Institution, de-
clared: Miss Hegeman's generous
gift will be of great assistance to
us. It will be especially valuable be-
cause unhampered by conditions.
Income Is Under 100000.
MANY people assume that, be-
cause the Smithsonian is we'll known

the Government, the institution is

ment subventions to carry on its

"The fact is that the institutions

Freer fund for Eastern art, is little
more than a million dollars, and
the disposable income less than
