spokane IS. NeuatChee ?.
Others not scheduled.
YAkIMA-It matters little how
the runs were scored prior 10 the
Tacoma Tigers turn at bat in the
ninth last night. They came
through the general vagaries Of
the game and the Yakima Pippins
were leading to 5. The Bengals'
case seemed hopeless.
Yet. one never can tell when the
Gang will break
loose. That Gang is never out
unti' the last guy is dead. Which
was proved again last night in one
of the most thrilling attacks the
Gang has known.
And when the last Tiger had
been put away in that final
session the Gang had poured
in four runs and the game,
to 6.
Incidentally. the Gang
smacked Red Miller, the Ne
mesis, off the hill. making the
victory just IL times sweeter.
Anyway. let's get down to that
first half of the ninth. The
Tigers last hope.
Jack Colbern. first up. died on 4
liner and Hartman tripled off the
right field wall. Reich beat out a
third-line grounder and Hartman
scored. Abbott singled to left and
Penso bobbled the ball. Reich
moving to third Medeghini a
sound hitter for pitcher, didn't
let opportunity go unanswered
when the knock came to his door.
He singled TO left, scoring Reich.
Abbott going to third. Mountain
walked, and Red Miller, the DOGGY
man for the Tigers, left the hill.
Howard johnson took over the
task. Poor Howard. The bases
were loaded. Mattos, catching in
place of Clifford, struck out. The
skies were much darker for the
Powerhouse Gang.
But, as you know, that
Gang is never beaten. Up
comes Manager Hal Rhyme, the
San Francisco product who oc-
cupied the third base job
when Mattos went behind the
disc. And all that Prince Hal
did was to boom a single over
second, scoring Abbott and
Mede ghini, Mountain going to
second, where he died when
Iselxite, the winning hurler,
popped out.
And that was enough to win -.
Z to 6, because the Pippins couldn't
do a thing in their last effort.

Dupont Circle Citizens
Discuss Underpass

The proposed Dupont Circle I'M
derpass and the rezoning OF prop
erty in that vicinity were discussed
by John Nolen, jr, director of
planning of the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission, at
a meeting of the Dupont Circle
Citizens Association yesterday af-
ternoon in the Mayflower Hotel.
Mr.. Nolen said that widening of
streets, such as Seventeenth street
NV. between K and M streets, re-
suited in the area involved becom-
ing commercializeed, thereby caus-
ing the homes in that section to
become almost untenantable. When
figures are released for the 1910
census in the District, he said,
better knowledge Of the zoning ques-
ton as regards rezoning or con-
demnation will be obtainable. Prior
to Mr.. Nolen's remarks on the zon-
ing question members of the asso-
citation had cited the use being made
Of Dupont Circle as a playground,
suggesting the abandoned Force
Public School be used instead. Mr..
Nolen said that after the census
figures were released the buying of
land for playground use could be
more easily determined, the density
Of the population in that particular
area being the deciding factor.
Earlier in the meeting the secre-
tary read a communication from
Frank T. Gartside, acting superin-
tendent of the National Capital
Parks, in which 1t was stated that
the park Office was aware of the
"deplorable condition of Dupont Cir
Gle, caused principally by its use as
q playground" and that In the fu-
ture an effort would be made to
have police there at longer inter-
walls. The difnculty now, the letter
stated, was the insufficient number
of men on the park police force, q

Win From Johnnies
Buoys Eastern for
Championship Test
Gets Jump on Cadets
To Lead Throughout;
Lenny Mills Stors

Eastern's White Tide is back at
the top of the schoolboy basket ball
heap today, with excellent prospects
of being again the devastating force
that last year swept through the
public high school championship
series.
Perfectly primed for the title race
opening next week, the fast, ac-
curately shooting Lincoln Parkers
worked smoothly yesterday in up
setting st. Johns, last years city
champion, 20-13. at the Eastern
gym, thus removing the last District
scholastic team from the unbeaten
list. The Johnnies only two days
before had routed Western. pre-
viously considered one of the
strongest schoolbov outfits in the
city, and were decided favorites.
Eastern Strikes Quickly.
Working with speed and accuracy
that cut through the Johnny de-
fense before it could be formed
properly and at the same time
throwing an almost impregnable
screen around their own basket, the
Fasteners were off to a go lead in
the first quarter. Les Cooksey and
Soup Hancock led the early assault
with 4 points each in the opening
period, the one that shattered st.
Johns morale and set its players to
shooting from unreasonable dis
tances.
Another important factor in East
ern's victory was the tall Lenny
Mills, who almost always was under
the basket reaching with his long
arms to take the ball on its rebound
Johnnies Weak at Foul Line.
st. Johns obviously went off it's
game after the disastrous first quar-
ter, unable to get a man under the
basket or in to take a pass from
pivot. Several times this same
pivot was left stranded with the ball
in the lane or circle and was called
to account by Referee Phil Fox on
the 3-second rule.
st. Johns failure from the foul
line also was a factor in its loss as
1t converted only of 16 gift shots.
Eastern sank 8 out of 13 free tosses.

NEW YORK, Jan. 14.-The sports
world wondered today what effect
the death of Col. Jacob Rupert
would have on the world champion
New York Yankees-the baseball
club he helped buy for $45O,OOO in
1915 and built into a s15,000,00
enterprise.
In most quarters it was assumed
that the energetic little bachelor
who died yesterday at the age of
II had made ample provision for the
future of the baseball empire that
brought him more satisfaction than
the millions he made in beer and
real estate.
The best bet seemed to be that a
triumvirate would rule baseball's
most valuable property-a trium-
virate of Ed Barrow, 10, veteran club
secretary; George Weiss, head of the
Yankees farm" system, and George
Rupert, the colonel's brother.
