His last assignment in the

The crime committee recon-
mended further investigations,
and the Senate voted $4,000 to
the Senate District Committee for
a new crime probe.
It was the House District crime
subcommittee investigation that
led to a widely publicized dis
agreement between Maj. Barrett
and Capt. Anthony Richitt.
Capt. Richitt was transferred
from the third precinct to the
eighth precinct and charged that
his transfer came because he had
given information secretly to the
subcommittee. @~
The information included the
charge that Emmitt Warning.
reputed gambler, had referred to-
Mai. Barrett as "the boss" In a
report on Capt. Richitt's subse-
quent transfer. Mai. Barrett listed
several instances Of alleged insub-
ordination and concluded that his
defiance Of orders and his con-
tempt for superiors could have no
other effect than Generalization
of the entire department
Later. Maj. Barrett and Capt.
Richitt buried the Ratchet.
Accused of Beating.
Maj. Barrett, while a detective
sergeant at headquarters. was &C.
cused Of beating up a murder sus-
jpect. later proved innocent. Maj.
Barrett was found guilty and
sentenced early in 1882, but a
Court Of Appeals ruling sent the
case back for retrial. On the re-
trial. a hung jury resulted. and
Maj. Barrett was restored to duty
with full back pay.
In September, 1916. he was
made permanent captain by ex-
ecutive order of President Tru-
man, bypassing civil service pro-
cedure. This promotion made him
eligible for assignment as a uni
formed inspector.
Maj. Barrett's name became IA
miliar to his superiors two months
after his appointment as a rookie
on July !. 1925. He was repri-
manded for unwarranted use Of
his revolver.
In February, 1928. and again in
May. 1928, he was accused Of mis-
treating prisoners. but the charges
were dismissed.
On the other side, he has been
commended for his work in solv-
ing several murder cases. for the
arrest of Union Station mail rob-
bers in 1886. for the seizure of
the leader of band of burglars
in 1947 resulting in the clearing
up of $50 crimes.
Courage UnquestiOned.
Neither his friends nor his enc
mies-he has many of both-ques-
ton his personal courage. In 1882
he threw a tear gas bomb into
house and entered it. unarmed,
after a man had barricaded him
self and was shooting at police
who were trying to arrest him.
A couple of parties plagued Mai.
Barrett during his police career.
IOne was given on the occasion Of
his elevation to the post OF chief
of detectives. Reports Of the party
were given In suit filed by a
denoted policeman, who con-
tended he was denoted because
he reported information about the
party.
The suit charged that turkeys
were served at the, party. at a
time when sale Of turkeys toI
lcivilians was prohibited. and that
the beer and whisky were fur
nished as q gratuity by certain
underworld characters.

Blair and Little Hoyos at Odds
About Completing Golf Match

The crucial scholastic golf
match between Georgetown Prep
and Montgomery Blair that was
halted by darkness last week will
be replayed in its entirety over a
neutral course if Blair has its
way. and resumed at the point
of interruption at Georgetown
Prep If the latter has its way.
Both teams are unbeaten in the
Met Section of the Schoolboy Golf
Leagues, as is st. Johns, but the
latter has played only two matches
Blair and the Little Hoyas are the
Met co-favorites.
The teams met at Georgetown
Prep last Friday and the hosts led
40, when darkness halted play
with five points still to be decided
Blair still has a chance to win the
five points and the match, 5-4.
Orders Match Halted.
Frank Emmet. schoolboy golf
director, was watching the match
and ordered play halted when it
became too dark to see and the
match resumed last Monday at 8
o'clock. But Blair phoned late
Monday, saying it could not make
it because Of standardization tests.

has written the other golf coaches
asking that an advisory board be
formed to act on Blair's appeal.
He points out that Blair is the
only school among the met title
contenders that has to play
Georgetown Prep over it's home
course. He said he asked week
in advance to have the match
changed, but was overruled by
Emmett when Prep insisted on
sticking to- the schedule. Vogt
also claims Georgetown Prep was
late reporting for the Blair match
and that a college match between
American U. and Western Mary
land held up play.
Don Dedrick, American U. golf
captain, said the college teams
finished well ahead of the school,
boys and at no time held them up.
Also Writes Coaches.
In answer to Vogt's letter, Fa-
ther Dugan also has written the
golf coaches. He claims that
Blair knew all season that it was
going to play at Prep but did not
decide until a week before the
match to ask to have the site
changed.
Father Dugan also quotes the
USGA rule book, which states

VIE make up at night and then
there's always guard duty and KIP.
I've had only couple Of nights
off since I've been here"
The boys don't want people to
get the idea they're not glad to
get a chance to play ball. There
certainly are lot worse things
in the Army than playing base
ball." said Calderone. "We're
happy to be able to stay in shape
this year and play ball. The team
has around rs games scheduled
so it's a full season. You 60 a
couple of years without playing
ball and you're all washed up. SO
this is good break for U.S."
Even on the diamond it's not a
gravy train. Most people think
big leaguers should murder service
pitching and Calderone and
IO'Connell are hitting well, but
there are problems.
"In the majors. if the pitchers
behind, you can dig in and take
a good cut" explained Calderone,
"but here if you do that you'll
probably get hit in the head.
Some of the pitchers we've hit
against don't know where the balls
going"
Danny agreed with Sam. "I've
been hit twice already and had a
couple of near-misses scored" he
added. "Also the pitchers are al
ways bearing down on us so they
can say they got a big Lacquer
out. We see nothing but curves.
Evening star., 1951-05-03

The pitchers think that's their
best pitch so we get it,"
The tactics used by opposing
hurlers haven't bothered O'Con-
nell and Calderone too much
despite their complaints. Sam
homered with the bases loaded
against Andrews Air Force Base
last week and the Saturday be-
fore he broke up a 3-3 game
with the District Police with q
pinch-hit that caromed off q
building more than 300 feet away.
O'Connell, still about 10 pounds
overweight, has been hitting the
ball hard and says he's rounding
into shape rapidly.
Stars Help Others.
M/Sergt. Ralph Link, Fort
Myer coach and a good outfielder,
too, says he's not only pleased
with the big-leaguerS' play but
also with the help they're giving
the other boys.
"Antonelli has been showing
our young pitchers. especially Joe
Tunis. a promising prospect, how
to step of the mound, throw a
change up. pick a man off and
giving them other valuable ad-
vice." said Link. He'd work all
day out here if I'd let him. He's
always in the infield and if
chase him out he catches flies in
the outf1eld. Calderone and
O'Connell have been big help,
too. It's a real pleasure to work
with these boys"
Antonelli has been taking his

matches interrupted by darkness
must be resumed where halted
and not replayed. He also claims
the prep team was waiting on the
tee for Blair last Monday at 3
o'clock and Blair did not phone
until $3.50 to request a postpone
ment.
Emmett has listened patiently to
the complaints from both con-
tenders and will suggest that the
match neither be completed nor
replayed until the end of the sea-
son. Then if the schools still are
tied for the Met section title, he
suggests a playoff over a neutral
course with fanfare, officials, ref
erees, etc. And he even suggests
a two-out-of-three series if one
match is not enough.
