WEIRD KNIGHT ON THE TOWN"
 WAS PRELUDE TO TRAGIC SHAVING

Events of the wee morning hours which preceded the tragic death shooting of Mrs. Minnie Barnes Tuesday were not shroud- ed by darkness in this sub-arctic city. The rising sun was hidden only by layer of clouds when Ted Glenn and Dave Warner emerged from the Palmer Bar where they had been having a few drinks.
 Fleeing together accounts of Glenn, E. w. Shorty" Moellen- dorf, Al Beattie, and U. s. Com missioner Dorothy Saxton, the following story takes on an ap- proximation of form.
 Al Beattie was on duty in the Palmer Bar when Glenn and Warner were in the bar between 2:3O and 300 am. Moellendorf was there, too, but with another party. About 800 or 3:30, Glenn and Warner left the bar and walked down the street past the Valley Barber Shop, owned by Moellendorf.
 Warner said he heard a noise inside, and started kicking the door in.
 Glenn left him there and went

 About 3:30 or 400 a.m., accord ing to Beattie, the telephone op- orator called him at the bar ask ing if Moellendorf was there. She said Glenn had told her that Warner had kicked the barber shop door in, and had entered.
 Everyone dashed up to the street from the bar, and Beattie said he saw Warner sneaking out of the barber shop and running down the street until he turned left at the corner.
 Beattie went over to the tele- phone office to have the operator call Deputy Marshal Bill Bou- wens, but she couldn't do it be- cause he had no phone. Ted Glenn was there then and returned to the bar about 10 minutes after Beattie.
 Returning to the bar, Beattie met Warner coming up the stairs toward the street. Apparently he had run down the back alley and returned to the bar for some thing. Moellendorf, who had ex- amined his shop in the meantime, cornered Warner when he reached

Robinson Easily Beats
Marcel, Asks 100000
For London Title Bout
BY the Assoeiaied Press

PARIS, May 22.-Sugar Ray
Robinson is willing to defend his
middleweight championship over
here-that is. for a price.
The price. Manager George
Gainford says, is $4,000. Or at
least $4,000.
The subject of a 160-pound title
bout in London or Paris was
raised after the middleweight
king stopped Kid Marcel, the
French champion, in the fifth
round Of a 10-round bout here
last night.
The championship wasn't at
stake since both gladiators weighed
in at q little more than 100.
Jack solomons, London pro-
moter, was on hand to see the
bout. Afterward he talked with
Gainford about match between
Robinson and Randolph Turpin
the British and Empire middle
weight titlist.
The talks didn't get past the
preliminary stage, Gainford said,
and another meeting with Solo
mons is expected later.
When we fought Jake LaMotta
for the championship LaMotta got
As per cent of the gate and we got
Is per cent" the manager said.
"LaMotta got $4,000. I think my
boy is just as good a champion as
LaMotta and we want the same
amount of money"
Gainford said he'd like to get
100000 for Sugar Rays first title
defense, but he might go down to
$4,000. He said the next move
strictly Is up to Solomons.
Robinson and his troupe will
leave Paris Thursday for a Satur-
day night bout against Gene

Wilson High Traekmen
Seek Revenge in Meet

Wilson will be out to avenge a
narrow loss tossAnacostia in the
Metropolitan track meet two
weeks ago when the interhigh
track and field meet starts tomor-
row afternoon at Tech.
The Indians edged Wilson. 81

the Tigers dropped that meet to
Anacostia and reversed the loss
in the interhigh event.
Kenny Thornton. Anacostia's S
star middle and long distance
runner, is expected to lead the
Indians while Wilson's Chris King,
undefeated in the low and high
hurdles this year. will be a IA
vorite in his speciality.
Tech cannot be counted out of
the competition. The Trainers
finished only a couple of points
behind Wilson in the Metro meet.
George Washington of Alexandria
and Washington-Lee of Arlington
picked up important points in the
Metropolitan events, but are not
eligible for the interhigh meet and
the event will probably be de-
cided in that division.
Trials are scheduled for tomor-
row afternoon and the finals will
be held Friday.
