Who Killed Cock Robin

Twice during the closing hours of Congress, Nebraska's likeable, ir- repressible Senator Ken Wherry interrupted the Senate proceedings to deny story in this column that he had cut the Senate crime in vestigating committees appropria- tions in half.
 T shall not answer Drew Pear son. have never answered Drew Pearson" Wherry thundered. Then he proceeded to answer me not only once but twice in the same week. He even got Senator Guy Gillette of Iowa to write a letter, taking responsibility for the motion that reduced the Kefauver crime appropriations from S100000 to S50,- GOO.
 Ordinarily I don't disclose my sources. But in view Of the tumult raised by Wherry, I shall make an exception and reveal who reported that Wherry was responsible for cutting the crime appropriation
 The source just happens to be- Senator Wherry, himself.
 After the secret meeting, during which the appropriations were cut, Wherry came out looking proud of himself. He rushed up and whisper ed to a representative of this col umn that he, Winery, had just pulled a fast one on Senator Ke- fauver of Tennessee, chairman of the Senate Crime Investigating Committee. He had been able to

Little Action Marks
Titone Victory Over

Charlie Titone's victory over
Calvin Leigh in last nights To-
round main bout at Turner's Arena
goes down as the least exciting Of
the six he's won there. Styles of
the two featherweightS didn't
mesh for an interesting battle, and
at one point the customers were
stomping and demanding action.
Leigh, from Rochester, N. Y,
seemed to be waiting around for
an opening that never came and in
the meanwhile covering and pro-
tecting himself well. Titone, of
Brooklyn, made it long range
fight and tied up Leigh when the
latter tried rush inside. Having
provided almost all of what action
there was, Titone won by a hefty
margin.

guard, may be benched with a
lame ankle tomorrow night when

F'eerick still expects a scorching
battle with the visitors. The Caps
have taken five shellackings from

any bearing on the final league
standings. but Feerick would like
to pour it on to remove some of
the sting of those earlier setbacks

Baltimore Bowler Is Heodinq
For No. ! Ronkinq in Nation

With not a single Washington
bowler in the running, Bill Brozey
of Baltimore bids fair to succeed
Andy Friar of Fall River, Mass,
as the No. l duckpinner of the
country this season. .....-.
Brozey, with tremendous tour
nament average of 1929 for
189 games and a mark of 129-
plus for 1875 league games, appears
to be running we'll ahead of all
rivals for the No. l national hon.
ors.
Last season Brozey gained the
No. 2 spot in the national rank
ings with an average of 129-142
for 393 games against Friar's
131-69 for 255 games.
Brozey in Is tournaments has
won four and finished in the mon
ey in II others. In capturing the
Norman Levy Anniversary Open
at Norfolk with a 1,415 count he
climaxed his victory with a ma
tional record five-game score of
7S5, which topped Astor Clarke S
nine-year-old mark of 1872. Lou
