 Q. That they should be charged to lint" Were they so charged?
 A. believe they were. I want to qualify that by saying unless had later instructions. In that case, they were charged in the first instance to interest.
 e. Now, eventually all of those items on that exhibit having lead pencil notations-chart, or charter got into the surplus resource sinking fund. Weren't they?
 A. I wouldn't say so to this.
 Q. Well, they were intended to get in there, weren't they?
 A. don't know.
 o. Do you know whether the in- terest items to which they were charged was overdrawn in the year of that exhibit? The year is 1881, isn't it?
 A. Yes.
 o. Isn't it to your best recollec- tion that that happened?
 A. No doubt, it did happen.
 o. Well, isn't it your best recol- lection that it did eventually be- come paid out of the surplus re- source sinking fund?

 o. There was great deal of ac- tivity about charter revision at that time, wasn't there?
 A. Yes.
 @. And do you recall that the Board of Finance, early in your term of office, passed a vote that all expenses in connection with the charter should be charged to the surplus resource sinking fund as part of the floating debt?

 It will be recalled that Scannel was called as witness before the grand jury to identify records of assessment as kept in huge volumes which were impounded. There is strong possibility that Scannel will be called as a witness in the trial for a similar purpose.

 Jurors in the trial have become Chinese checkers enthusiasts. One game is kept in the regular jury room and another is available in the court clerks office to be used by the alternates. The latter are not allowed to mingle with the regu- lar jurors or talk to them. They cannot even discuss the case be- tween themselves.

Henry Favorite
Al ST Odds
Over Lou
WeIter Crown Fight
Sure if Challenger
Upsets Champion
BY WHITNEY MARTIN,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-They will
crank up the little windmill again
tonight, but whether the breeze
again will be stout enough to blow
over the opposition is a question
which will lure nearly 10000 fight
fans to Yankee Stadium to see
Henry Armstrong defend his light
weight title against Lou Ambers.
The bout, set for 9 o'clock EAST
ern standard time), is scheduled for
IS rounds. The gross gate may be
between 100000 and s15OOOO.
The turnout is a tribute to the
great battle put up by the little
fellows in their previous meeting,
when weary Armstrong was
awarded the decision and the
championship after Is rounds of
furious milling.
Armstrong 5-to-7 Choice.
Going into that earlier bout
Armstrong ruled a 1-to-3 favorite,
but he will be no such prohibitive
choice tonight. He was quoted at
5 to today, with the possibility
the odds might lengthen slightly
before the gong
Hammerin' Hank, victor in 46
straight fights, is up against an
Ambers' jinx. The singing, grim
ming, jittery lad from Herkimer in
variably wins a return bout against
man who has defeated him, and
he is confident this will hold true.
In their earlier meeting Arm
strong suffered a cut lip in the Sec
ond round. Gagged by gushing
blood, he gradually weakened as the
bout wore on. 1t was Ambers who
was the stronger at the finish, de-
spite the fact he was on the floor
twice early in the battle
Armstrong goes into tonight's bout
with no cuts, but there is another
question that gives hope to Ambers'
followers. Armstrong suffered
broken hand in his bout with Ernie
Roderick in England. Although the
injury apparently was healed, there
is doubt the bones will hold up un-
der the whirlwind hit-him- anywhere
type of offense the champion favors.
Weight Troubles Both.
Also. Ambers' camp sees the pos
sibility of a weakened Armstrong
because of the boiling down neces.
sary to make the weight limit OF l35
pounds, although in this instance
the challenger also might be affected.
Amber has his own troubles with the
lightweight limit.
If Ambers wins tonight, it auto
matically sets the stage for a vel
terweight championship fight be-
tween the two. The contract has
been signed Armstrong also holds
that crown. And before he put on
too much weight he held the
featherweight title. He is the only
man in ring history to have been
champion of three divisions simul-
taneously.
Both men finished training with
out accident and were expected to
be at or under the weight limit when
they weighed in at noon today.

Miss Brown, Mrs. Hill Only
D. c. Golf Survivors;
Bed Barrett Stars

ing matches in this quarter, in the
order in which they will meet to-
morrow morning if form holds true,
are:
Mrs. Estelle Lawson Page, 1887
champion, whose IS made her run
nerup to record-breaking Bea Bar
rett Of Minneapolis in the qualify
ing play, and Jean Bauer, consistent
top-f1ighter from Providence, R. l.:
Maureen Orcutt, former Metropoli-
tan title holder, and Mrs. Glenna
Collett Ware, six-time national
champion; Fay Crocker, the slug
ger from Uruguay, and Kathryn
Hemphill of Columbia, S. c.; Eliza
beth Hicks, long hitting little girl
from Long Beach. Calf, and Mrs.
William Hockenjos, jr., former New
Jersey women's champion.
Almost any one of these might get
to the semifinals or final, and GER
tainly Mrs. Page. Mrs. Ware and Miss
Crocker are good bets to do so.
Compared with the type of opposi-
ton they have drawn, Miss Barrett,
whose one -under-par "a was the best
medal score ever posted in this
tournament; Pam Barton, the at
tractive British title holder, and
Marion Miley, the Kentucky putting
star, have been handed compara-
lively easy assignments.
From the scoring produced in the
qualifying round, this should be the
fastest competition on the women's
books. In addition to Miss Barrett
and Mrs. Page, out of the 1874 start
ers Miss Miley, Miss Barton, veteran
Mary K. Browne, Betty Jameson
and Miss Crocker also broke 80,
whereas in the last three tourna-
ments there were only two rounds
under that figure.
=. To add to the fireworks, SO was the
qualifying limit. The previous low,
since "a have been qualified for
match play, was 81. There also was
hole-in-one, by Eleanor Dudley of
Chicago, but Miss Dudley, sad to
relate, took an on the next hole
and finished with a 90.
OF the low-scoring players, the
chief surprise was Miss Browne, a
handsome little woman who was ma
tional tennis champion three years
in a row just before the war and
runnerup for the golf crown in 1924.
Her face was wreathed in smiles
when she f1nished-almost as many
smiles as were displayed by little
Jeanne Cline, 15-year-old miss from
Bloomington, ILL.,, who made the
grade with an 81.
Two From d. C. Survive.
Twenty-o ne ear-old Marion
Brown, Middle Atlantic women's
links champion from the Manor
Country Club, and dark haired Mrs.
Bishop p Hill. champion of the
Chevy Chase Club, today remained
the only Washington players in the
championship.
Miss Brown, who holds the In
dian Spring and Manor champion
ships, in addition to her mid
Atlantic title, qualified safely with
a card Of 86. Mrs. Hill was stroke
higher. Both were well under the
deadline Of SO.

Cincinnati Gains
On St. Louis as
Tide Turns
Reds Blank PhiI|ies,
While Cards Drop
Tilt to Dodgers
BY JUDSON BAILEY,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

Everybody is sitting back and
waiting for the National Leagues
usual September scramble, but there
is fat chance (read it any way you
choose) the bunting will be slowed
away this month while the con-
tenders are cruising in the East.
The weak sisters along the sea-
board have been lot softer touch
for the Cincinnati Reds than for the
ST. Louis Cardinals this season.
Therefore, on the face of things, the
Reds have a chance to manufacture
lead in the next two weeks which
will Withstand any St. Louis squall
when the clubs get back home.
Dodgers Cool Cardinals.
If the Reds can't protect or i'm
prove their 4l2-game advantage
against such opposition as the
Phillies and Boston Bees, for in
stance, World Series customers might
as well shoot their reservations to
st. Louis right now and not wait for
September
Whether it was an omen depends
on how you look at it., but Cincin-
natl pummeled the Phillies, 10,
yesterday while the red-hot Cardi-
mails were cooled off, ii, by the
Brooklyn Dodgers.
The Reds victory was their six
teenth in II games with the tail
enders and apparently proved the
well hadn't gone dry while the
league leaders were away.
John .Niggeling, the 33-year -old
rookie right handler Bill McKechnie
picked up about week ago, pitched
seven scattered hits and seven
strikeouts in earning his second big
league triumph in seven days. Be-
sides, Frank Mccormick came out Of
his hitting slump with three singles,
one of them with the bases loaded.
This alone must have made a lot Of
people in the Rhineland heave a
sigh of contentment.
Camilli Leads Parade.
In contrast, Tom Sunkel and Lon
ME Warneke were shelled for IA hits
at least one to every Dodger who
went to bat. Dolph Camilli led the
parade with his twentieth homer.
Luke Hamlin, the hot potato, burned
his fast ball past all the st. Louis
sluggers and shut them out until the
eighth inning to snag his fif-
teenth victory.
Besides slowing down the Cardi-
mails, the game raised the Dodgers
into the first division past the New
York Giants, who were subdued by
Lefty Larry French of the Chicago
Cubs, 4-3.
French's seven-hit hurting over
came the handicap of four Chicago
errors in his mound duel with Bill
Lohrman. He also singled with the
bases filled to account for two of the
winners runs.
All the other major league clubs
were idle.
