A—4 ex G NEW YORK TEANS N BRIGE FIVAS Play 72-Board Match for Team-of-Four Title at Ashury Park. By the Associated Press. ASBURY PARK, N. J,, August 12.— Two New York teams fight it out today in a 72-board final match for the team-of-four championship in the American Bridge League’s Summer tournament. One team is that of Theodore A. Lightner, Louis H. Watson, M. D. Maijer, Sam Fry. jr, and Edward Hymes jr. The other is composed of Charles Lochridge, John Rau, H. Huber Boscowitz and A. Mitchell Barnes. The Lightner combination went into the finals early today by defeat- ing the team of Waldemar Von Zedtwitz, Sherman Stearns, Walter Malowan and Sidney Rusinow in a long-drawn-out match that was held up for more than an hour and a half when Malowan and Rusinow filed a protest against a remark by Lightner. When the protest was overruled Von | Zediwitz threatened to leave the hall | and default the match, but, after a | long pow wow, play was resumed and | the Lightner team went on to win by | 1,780 points. Won by 60 Points. The Lochridge foursome reached the finals by squeezing out a narrow victory over Henry Chanin and Mrs. Humphrey Wagar of Atlanta and Fred Levy, Montgomery, and Miss | Helen Bonwit, New York. They won by 60 points, narrowest margin of victory in such contests ever recorded in tournament history. The remark by Lightner which led to the protest came in a hand on which Malowan and Rusinow had bid every suit, and reached a grand slam in spades. Lightner remarked before making a lead: “What can I lead? You've bid a grand slam without using the four and five no trump convention.” He led the diamond jack. This trick Halowan, the declarer, won in his own hand, and then laid down the spade ace, the king being in the dummy hand.

BOSTON, August 12.—Walter Robil- | | lard, 32-year-old Bostonian, was under the care of doctors today after a lone swim in the open sea 150 miles from shore. It was by mere chance that Robillard was found by the trawler Ripple yes- Blamed Remark for Play. “It was because of that remark that I played the way I did,” Malowan | -explained. “I thought he had three | or four spades to the queen and that | his remark was designed to mislead me into taking the wrong fiinesse.” The committee ruled against the protest on the ground that Malowan should have made it when the remark | was made and not after he had drawn | & wrong inference from it.

By the Assoctated Press. HONOLULU, August 12.—The Pan- “ American clipper plane which has made aviation history on its three Pacific crossings from California to Honolulu, will be the first airplane to tcuch Wake Island when it flies to that lonely little speck on the map this week. - The hop is a continuation of the engineering survey preparatory to es- / tablishing an air route from the * United States to the Orient. Capt. R. O. D. Sullivan said he would start { probably Tuesday for the island out- posts. He planned to cover the 1,323 miles from Honolulu to Midway Is- #lands in nine hours and continue « later to Wake Island, 1,191 miles far- ther, in eight hours. The plane will carry fresh vegeta- . bles to the island, the first workmen . there have had since April. e Chicken Supper to Be Held.

Senator Hattie Caraway, the Demo- cratic lady from Arkansas, is not crossing any campaign bridges until she comes to them. In the campaign which resulted in her election to the Senate early in 1932, Senator 5 Long, Democrat, of Louisiana, went § into Arkansas and spoke in her be- half. More recently Senator Long has indicated he in- tends to go in andcampaign again—this time against Senator Robinson, Demo- crat, of Arkansas, the majority leader, when the latter comes up for renomination next year. That raised the question in the minds of some observers as to what Mrs. Caraway would do if such an event should come to pass. Asked today whether or not she would join her friend, Senator Long, against her senior Senator, she said with a quiet smile: “This isn't an election year.” In his sound-truck speeches in her behalf, Long said Mrs. Caraway's cam- paign wasn't part of his feud with Senator Robinson—whatever fight he had with the latter would be con-| ducted separately. Mrs. Caraway, while she has con- sistently given Long much credit for her own election, seems likely to let it stand at that. Her answers to all questions on the subject were non- committal and neutral. “Nobody knows that any of these| | things that have been announced and | conjectured upon will come to pass,” sald Mrs. Caraway. “After all, it is 50 early in the game Senator Robinson hasn't even made his formal an- nouncement of his candidacy as yet. You can’t technically have an elec- tion fight before you know who your | candidates are.” Senator Caraway.

ALLEGED SLAYER KEPT FROM MOB Californian Admits Shooting Police Chief When Com- manded to Halt. By the Associated Press. 2 SACRAMENTO, Calif., August 12— Fresh memories of lynch law visited by a revengeful citizenry a few days ago on the slayer of a policeman in Yreka, Calif., drove authorities today to hide out three men held here for killing & chief of police. The victim, Erskine G. Fish, 47, North Sacramento, the third chief of police to lose his life at the hands of gunmen in Northern California in less than a month, was shot down early yesterday in a hunt for prowlers. Before Fish died, police arrested George O. Wallace, 27, a tree surgeon, as & suspect. Fifteen hours later Deputy Sheriff Harry Bryant made & single-handed capture of Alfred Paine, 26-year-old petty law violator, who confessed the slaying, and his com- panion, H. F. Smith. Guard Reinforced. Sheriff Donald Cox, advised that more than 200 of Fish's friends were talking of restoring mountain law to Sacramento County for the first time since frontier days, transferred the prisoners from the county jail to the more inaccessible city jail and rein- forced a guard of deputies. The sheriff, rather than risk = chance of losing his prisoners as Sis- | kiyou County officers did last week when & mob hanged C. L. Johnson for the killing of’ Chief of Police F. R. Daw of Dunsmuir, said he was taking every precaution to preserve order. Less than a month ago Chief Charles O'Neal of Santa Rosa died at the hands of Al “Two-Gun” Cham- berlain, 77, who was spirited off to San Quentin Prison when talk of lynch was heard. Confess Parts. Trembling in cold sweat at first, the men confessed their parts in the tragedy in the presence of officers and reporters. Later Paine said to Dis-| trict Attorney Francis J. O'Shea: “Sure I shot that cop—and I shot first.” Smith added in a low voice: ““We were so drunk we didn't know what we were doing.” Chief Fish was shot down when he commanded Paine and Smith to halt after the robbery of a North Sacra- mento grocery store. Wallace was taken into custody while on the way to meet Smith and| Paine at & gold mine 43 miles east of here. CONVENTION GUARDED Suspicious Fires at Legion Meet- ing in California. FRESNO, Calif., August 12 (®).— The City Commission has authorized the hiring of 15 guards for property at the State American Legion Con- vention which opened here yesterday because two recent fires had damaged quarters set aside for the delegates.

The Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company ) A\l (Bell System) BEGIN FLOOD WORK NEAR MONUMENT Parks Officials to Protect Grounds From Possible Water Damages. ‘The office of National Capital Parks today ordered work to start immedi- ately on an extensive project of flood protection for the Washington Monu- ment Grounds. e Until this work is completed in about four months, the four tennis courts on the east side of the grounds will be closed to the public. Other courts will be substituted under the new program. ‘The courts and other recreational facilities on the west side, along Seventeenth street, it was said, are not affected by the flood reduction work. An allotment of $55,000 will be used in raising the level of 100,000 cubic yards of the Monument Grounds. The project has been described as a “dyke,” but this is not an accurate description. The work consists of creating & higher level * for the Monument Grounds along Constitution avenue east of Sixteenth street and extending over the western portion of the grounds. It will provide a gradual slope which would take care of suf- ficient drainage in case of floods or heavy rains. Dirt for the fill-in is being taken from the squares now being cleared for the new Interior Department Bullding. Superintendent C. Marshall Finnan says that 40,000 cubic yards of earth from tne Interior Building site also wouid be used to complete the filling in of Columbia Island on the Virginia side of the Potomac near Key Bridge. With the calling off of the National Jamboree of the Boy Scouts of Amer- ica, Finnan announced today that all the facilities which have been con- structed for the encampment will be immediately torn down and the recre- ational areas put back into use. He sald the first work would be started on the recreational areas in East and West Potomac Parks. Radio Network Extended.
