400 Teams Lined Up.
Few More Needed

Lucy Rose TiIts Leod
Over Lorraine Gull;
AL Work SizzIes

With an entry of approximately
400 teams and q slew OF doubles and
singles in hand, Secretary Arville
Ebersole today announced that the
30th annual Washington City Duck
pin Association tournament, which
opens at the Arcadia week from
tomorrow, looms as record breaker.
At midnight last night, the dead
line, Ebersole, still without the
entries Of many teams which
ordinarily roll in the event, saw an
excellent chance to break the mark
of 40 team entries established In
1929. He expected batch of entries
in today's mail.
On his final round of the
alleys he made big hauls from the
Petworth, Georgetown Recreation.
Bankers and National Capital
Leagues. Francis Furman, the Pet
worth bowling proprietor, assured
him of at least 10 of the IL teams
from his loop.
With the Classification Committee
going to work tomorrow night to
make up the 3-week schedule,
Ebersole again requests that all
league scorers send in their averages
as Of March 81.
Lucy Rose Increase Edge.
Lucy Rose of Rosslyn today held
a lead of "a pins over Lorraine GULL
OF Lucky Strike in their stirring
battle for the Ladies District League
championship, With both stars
shooting on their home drives, Mrs.
Rose hiked her record average to
1850 with an impressive 371, which
paced Rosslyn's 81 victory over Red
Cilcle Food Shop.
Neither Miss GULL nor her team
mates Jared nearly as well when
the defending champion shot $50
and her club dropped a 2-1 verdict
to the third-place Arcade Pontiac
quint. Although overshadowed by
the brilliant rolling of Mrs. Rose,
Miss Gulli's mark of 117-77 is nearly
2 points above her all-time city rec
ord Of 116-19, established in 1886.
Ida Weinberg's 1865 and Margaret
Lynn's $40 were the big blows in the
Arcade Pontiac win. Blanche Woot-
tons 145 also was an important wal
lop in the Rosslyn triumph. Eleanor
Bark's 1893 and Marie Spates' 124
were high as the second-place Chevy
Chase Club took the odd one from
Arcadia. Beth Minson rolled 351
for the losers.

strongest single-handed attempt to
check the World Series sweep of the
Yankees, which has run to eight
straight victories in the last two
years. With nothing on the ball, he
almost beat the best team In base

of his infielders, who made grue-
some blunder on a short tap from
the bat of Joe Gordon, prevented
Diz from winning the second ball
game of the series Of 1898.
And even under this handicap, he

Our Expert Finds Cubs
q Oddly Un-Jubi|ont
BY JOHN LARDNER,
Special Correspondent of The Star.


NEW YORK, April II (N.A.NA.-
When Jerome H. Dean pitched five
innings Of Sshutout ball for the Chi.
cago Cubs the other day the ap.
- -plause was thunderous, but it al
came from j. H. Dean. No, I'm 9
liar. Mrs. j. H. Dean also clappec
her hands.
The rest Of the Cubs were mute
leading the casual observer (meanine
e myself; I sometimes go by the name
Of the casual observer) to wonder
what Is what with P. K. Wrigley's
team. The Cubs strangely are un-
jubilant, not only in respect to Mr.
Dean. but about everything else as
well. They seem to lack the old
dp, the good old pinpoint carhona-
. ton.
What is more, they do not seem
to be cooperating to the fullest
extent with Charles Leo Silent
Hartnett, formerly Gabby Hartnett,
their manager.
Not Even Deems Performance
briehtens "SiIent's" Humor
The other day Silent Hartnett
broke OF his meditations on life
s@and death to announce that the
habits of his athletes revolted him.
J He accused them of keeping late
= hours and haunting the neighbor-
: hood soda fountains.
This must STOP" said Silent, and
I returned to his reverie.
4 Not even the fairly brilliant per-
: formance Of j. H. Dean In Arkansas
1 this week could elicit cheerful burp
s from Mr.. Hartnett.
Il guess 1t was all right" said
I the manager, without looking up
{ from his volume of Schopenhauer.
"All right? 1t was terriflc!" yelled
Mr.. Dean.
You said it, Dr." agreed Mrs.
Dean.
. The rest of the Cubs made no
! comment.
Now. I do not pretend to think
that the old Dizzy Dean is about
to bloom again, as fast and tough
as ever. Those days are gone and
the best Diz can do is lob 'em in
there to the right spots, relying on
his pitching intelligence, which is
considerable.
Lack Of Enthusiasm Over Diz
.Tipoff on Clubs Morale
But If the Cubs hope to see him
win some games-and why else do
they keep him on the pay roll?-it's
logical to expect them to slap him
on the back and make some noise
when he turns in good afternoon.
Not that Diz needs announcement.
He constitutes his own portable
cheering section. But the dogged
silence Of his manager and team
mates seems to indicate bad feeling,
or . general lethargy, or both, and
that will get the Cubs nowhere.
At best, they figure to have trouble
making the first division of the Ma
tional League this year. Their in
Held is uncertain around second
oaSe, they have q weak spot in the
outdeld, and Manager Silent Hart
nett has yet to find strong replace
ment for himself. Their pitching
might be all right-if. Clay Bryants
arm will have to be right again and
Larry French and Charley Root will
have to work their septuagenarian
soupbones severely if the Cubs are
to avoid sharing a compartment
with the Bees and Phillies.
It's hard to tell about j. H. Dean.
His owner, Mr.. Wrigley, may feel it
is worth the price of 100000 packs
Of chewing-gum a year at the box
ONCE to have Diz pitch an occa-
sional game, but the feeling of his
teammates and manager seems to
be that they can get along without
him, and probably will.

Export-Import Bank Bill
PassedByF1ouse 1914

WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.-R-
The house tonight, by a vote Of
1873 to IA, passed the administra-
ton bill authorizing $500, 0O0, 900 in
export-import bank loans to help
in the orderly marketing of sur
plus products of western hemis-
phere nations.
The legislation, still to be acted
on by the senate, also increases
the borrowing power of the recon-
struction finance corporation by
81, 500, 600, 900.
One-third of this would go to the
bank for a revolving fund for loans
to Canada and Latin-American ma
tons. The remaining 1000, 900, 900
would be used by the RFC for
loans to domestic industries for
plant expansion to meet defense
orders.
Just before the final vote the
house defeated, 1875 to 14O, a move
by Rep. Wolcott CR-Mich) to re-
turn the bill to committee II

CLASH PREDICTED
Press Drive Against

ROME, Aug. 21.-(AP Via Radio).
A "clash' between Italy and
Greece in the near future was
predicted tonight by the Italian wire
less while the fascist press campaign
against that little pro-British king
dom reached a new crescendo of vio-
lence.
The wireless cited the SHARP
tone'' of that very campaign as indi-
eating a showdown was approaching
and remarked that this was the pre-
sumption in political quarters"
The newspapers published asser-
tons that Greeks were planning to
burn Albanian villages in the Greek
region of Ciamuria- IA region now
declared by Italy to be rightfully
part of fascist-held Albania - and
that armed bands were ready, "es-
pecially in the event Of complica-
TONS" to massacre the inhabitants.
Greece was accused Of acting as a
more or less voluntary provoking
agent on behalf of Britain"
Quoting Virginia Gayda, one Of
Italy's main journalistic spokesman,
the wireless said that a final solu.
ton" would concern not alone the
province of Ciamuria "but also parts
of the region Of Janina."

LONDON, Aug. I'll R Aerial
torpedoes propeller-stemmed cyln-

Nazi bombers tonight in attacks
which smashed houses by the row
and buried uncounted victims in the
ruins.
CThis certainly was a new applica-

Gacking naval targets, they might
have chosen land targets rather
than loose torpedoes aimlessly at
sea-.
The torpedoes were hurled, along
with shiek bombs, at one southeast
town after a day Of ceaseless hit
and-run attacks by lone Nazi raiders
while the royal air force kept up it's
steady contemplating at German
bases.
Houses Smashed
A whole row of eight little worker
cottages was smashed into a tangle
of debris where the torpedoes were
launched horizontally. Numerous
other residences were wrecked.
One old woman just put to bed by
her son was in a house ripped to
splinters by the explosion. The son
alone crawled from the wreckage.
Not one brick was left upon an
other where the adjoining house had
stood.
Late into the night firemen and
rescue squads dug into the ruins for
bodies. Beneath other homes voices
were heard family and rescuers be-
lieved they might find some still
alive who had sought shelter in
Easements and were trapped.

the Clouds" one witness related. "It
had it's engines shut off and as it
dived I saw a huge black bomb
shaped like a torpedo leave the
plane. AS the torpedo dropped the
plane seemed to shoot up into the
air as though after releasing a
heavy load"
Town Shaken
The witness said the explosion
"shook the whole town." Its crater
measured more than 80 feet long.
Customarily aerial torpedoes are
launched at sea from planes diving
close to their targets.
Another raider splattered a south
western town with six bombs which
killed one man in a garden, smashed
a row of stores, and wrecked an
empty school air raid shelter.
