A 72 at II. 1t sounds paradoXical,
even when you consider the gallant
figure Of the man and the gallant
manner in which he goes on trying
to lick the game of golf and VIM
ming the game of health at an age
when most men are content to give
up such strenuous sport or have
no sport at all.
Yet William Wade HinshaW, the
retired opera executive, who prob
ably is the best golfer of his age
around Washington, has just done
something of which many younger
man might we'll be proud. Only
6-foot putt stood between him and
a II over the Columbia course,
which he plays almost every day
with Freddie Mcleod, his links tutor
for many years. He missed it, as
any one might have done, but still
he scored a 72.
HinShaW is one of the more -e-
markable men playing golf around
the Capital. Day after day, when
weather permitted during the VIM
ter, he has played his round of
golf. When rain fell or when snow
blanketed the course he and Nc
Leod went out to a shed near the
eighth tee, where they hit count
less shots. At the age of II that's
quite a stunt for couple of hours.
Yet Hinshaw revels in it. And he
does pretty we'll at his chosen game.
That 70 proves it.

He isn't quite as good a golfer as
Miller B. STEVENSON, the graying
fellow who has for years ranked
as Columbia's top golfer, and who
has won the club championship

Battle for Basket

The first and most important
championship Of the District A. A.
U. basket ball tournament will be de-
cided tonight when Delaware and
Hudson meets Dapper Dan for the
unlimited title at Eastern High

final games in two lighter weight
divisions, the feature contest will
start at o'clock.
An attractive sidelight of the
Dapper Dan-D. and H. game will
be the individual battle between
Jack ButterWorth and Hal Kiesel,
two Of George Washingtons great

cast his lot with such ex-college
stars as Ollie Upton, Bill Noonan
and Gay Edelin, after graduating
from G. w. last month, while
kiesel is an important cog in a team
completed by such old independent
standouts as Pickles Walker, Don

And What
They Do
Noted Engineer Once
Used Murderer
To Gain End
By LEMUEL F. PARTON.

John F. Stevens was self-educated
as an engineer, Therefore, he was
an eclectic and readily made use OF
retired murderer to accomplish a
desperately important end. He is
now 86, one of the greatest of Ameri-
can engineers, the first engineer in
charge Of planning and building the
Panama Canal, just now awarded
the Hoover medal by the American
Society of Civil Engineers at its S6th
annual meeting in New York.
The murderer who came in handy
| was a Montana Blackfoot Indian.
Jim H,lls new railroad, westbound
from st. Paul, was rather impulsively
started. 1t ran slap-bang into the
impenetrable wall of the Rocky
Mountains. There was an Indian
legend that there was a pass over
the divide, along the course of the
Ma-ias River. Mr.. Stevens, young
engineer for the railroad, talked to
the Blackfeet about it. There was
such a pass. They knew ali about it.
But not ali of Jim Hills wampum
could bribe them even to point in
mat direction. This Marias pass was
| the dwelling place of evil spirits. of
sorcerers, Of dreadful demons, and
all who went that way lost either
thelr lives or their reason.
| MIR. Stevens mushed over the
mountains with the thermometer at
oo degrees below zero and found no
pass. But, by chance, he found a
Wanderer in the wilderness, a Black
loot oriVen out by his tribe because
ne mad killed man. The Indian
nad been having difficult time. A
few devils and monsters. more or
less, meant little to him. They made
oeal. The story of their days-on-
end scramble to the roof of the
continent through five feet of snow
and bitter cold, with Mr.. Stevens
sleepless as he kept an eye on his
| homlcldal guide. is one of the classics
OF the conquest of the wilderness.
Ihey found the pass, and their re-
turn was another desperate adyen-
ture. But soon the scream of loco
! motives was crying down the de-
mons, who, presumably, moved on.
When the Panama Canal was prof.
ected, John F. Stevens fought

Democratic Senators who led the
fight against the court bill were,
for the most part, inclined to relieve
the President of measure of per-
sonal blame and to charge that he
had been influenced by some of
the bright, young starry eyed New
Dealers about the White House.
In this debate on the Hopkins
nomination, however, a direct per-
sonal attack has been leveled at
the President by Senator Tydings
of Maryland. The President him.
self was accused by the Maryland
Senator of playing the most sordid
kind OF politics-using Federal funds
to try and defeat him, Tydings. for
denomination and place in his stead
''Davy' Lewis, the New Deal candi-
date. In blistering words and ac-
cents, Senator Tydings told the Sem
ate just what he thought personally

cratic Senator rose to the defense
of Mr.. Roosevelt. 1t may be that
by Monday, after they have had
time to catch their second wind,
Senator Barkley, the administration
leader in the Upper House. and
other ardent supporters of the Presi-
dent, may come to the defense of
their chief.
Charges Shameful Tactics.
But yesterday they sat as silent
as the tomb while Mr.. Tydings ex-
pressed his opinion of President
Roosevelt and his visit to Maryland
last summer in the purge" cam
paign and his dangling of a
100000 bridge-a P. w. A. prof.
ect-before the eyes of the Mary
landers to win votes for "Davy"
Lewis. Tydings used such words
as outrageous, "shameful' and the
like to describe the Presidents
course. He said that, as a matter
of fact. the campaign waged by the
President and the New Dealers last
fall made the political machine of
the late Bill Ware of Philadelphia
look like Sunday school picnic
or words to that effect.
This whole debate over the Hop
kins appointment has been pain
in the neck to the New Dealers,
who like TO think of themselves and
everything they do, as being on a
high moral plane. In the first
place, they have not been able to
get away from the devastating and
shocking use of the w. P. A, the
Federal relief organization. in the
political campaign. The Sheppard
Campaign Expenditures Committee
nailed the fact down too hard to be
shaken. Mr.. Hopkins himself went
on the witness stand and admitted
not only there had been some
| politics in w. P. A. in some places,
but also that he himself had erred
in the matter of making political
statements and speeches
And now along comes a Demo-
cratic Senator from the Democratic
State of Maryland and lambasts the
President himself, declaring that
Hopkins was only the front" for
Mr. Roosevelt in the use of w. P. A.
in the political campaigns, particu-
larly in the presidential purge" at
tempts. He said that Mr.. Hopkins
merely delivered what he was ex-
pected to deliver. And to cap all
this, Senator Tydings said he would
vote for Hopkins confirmation in
his new post because he did not be-
lieve in knocking Hopkins down for
a fault of which the President was
guilty.
