Warstler had a perfect day with the wand, making ' four hits in four tries- The As got off to a four-run start in the first inning and were never headed. Marcum, Dietrich and Kline allowed the Senators 12 hits, some of which were clustered tor four runs in the sixth. Mickey Cochrane's Tigers topped | other American clubs by registering their third victory in four starts. They blanked Cleveland, 4 to 0, after scoring all their runs in the ninth. This gave Carl Fischer victory in a mound duel with Lloyd Brown, eight hits to five. With the bases loaded in the ninth, Owen doubled, scoring Goslin. Walter and Doljack. Then Owen came home on Fischer's sacrificeThe Brawns at Chicago and the Yanks at Boston were washed out. tin the National League, the champion Giants turned in their fourth straight victory when a tour-run burst in the sixth gave them a 7 to 3 triumph over the Braves.

By HARRISON CARROLL Copyright. 1,34. King Centures Syodicglo. lag. HOLLYWOOD, Calif., . — Most fantastic story going around the boulevards is that Diana Wynyard may help

her stand-in to to come into an English fortune of several millions. The known facts are these: Idalyn Dupree, the girl now standing in for the star at R-K-0, has the off-screen name of Lynn Cardiss. She is the great - niece of Lady Sarah Hulbert and

..... ar « My Diana Wynyard

her family dates back far into British history. The question is, can she prove that she is a direct descendant and a legal heir of Sir Richard Cardiss, eighteenth century peer, whose great fortune has been in chancellory for more than 125 years. There is a missing link in the history of the family. And here is where Diana Wynyard comes in. After numerous talks with her stand-in, and after correspondence with England, she believes that one of her cousins, several times removed. came of the same line as Lynn Cardiss. This cousin has a complicated chart of the family tree and Diana believes she may be able to trace the lineage. When the star goes to England, one of her first acts will be to look up the cousin and try to solve the long-standing mystery. And, speaking of family trees, a certain actor in Hollywood has disi played in his living room a large plaque bearing a coat of arms. ■ He gave a cocktail party not long ago and a guest was admiring the ornament. “Oh, yes,” said the actor’s wife. “We’ve had it in the family for a long time.” “Where did you get it?” asked the interested guest. “Oh. we bought it at an auction,” was the serious reply. Some actors take their superstitions seriously. It just cost Lee 1 Tracy several thousand dollars to I indulge one of his.

! ter. and her son, Charles Campbell, were arrestfid for investigation pending possible charges of harboring a fugitive from justice. Police ' said they admitted entertaining j Dillinger and his ally. o Governor Rolph Is Sued For Damages San Francisco. April 21 —(UP)— 1 Damages amounting to $1.550,000 i were sought today from 110 defendants, including governor James Rolph, Jr, in an unusual aftermath of the lynching of two confessed kidnap-slayers by a mob of San Jose last fall. The suit was filed here by Mrs. Evelyn Holmes, widow of one of ■ the victims. Rolph was drawn into the case ! on charges by the plaintiff that he ' had violated his oath of office by :an alleged public declaration that he would nor send troops to pro- | teet John Holmes and Thomas Thurmond, the accused kidnapers of Brooke Hart, and that later he; I had said he would pardon any person convicted of taking part in the lynchings. o Musical Deout After 60 Years Cleveland.— (U.R) — Frank Aiderman. 76-year-old musician, of New Lyme Station, 0., had been playing the dulcimer for 60 years before he ever made a public appeari ance. His debut came in a radio ' program here.

The star was dickering with Paramount over a contract and the studio suggested that his salary start on March 19. On a hunch, rejected the date. April 1 was tiiea offered and he refused again. • “What about your birthday, April 14?" inquired studio execit- ! tive Al Kaufman. Tracy shook his head, then suddenly gave a relieved grin. “Make it April 7,” he said. “That’s my mother’s birthday and my lucky day.’ You can take it for what it’» worth, but associates of Robert Murnau say that he is voyaging to the South Seas to investigate the story that his brother, the late di- ; rector F. W. Murnau, died because , of Polynesian pifao (black magic). | According to matter-of-fact coro- ■ ner’s records. Murnau met his end in an automobile accident several years ago while he was on his way to confer with Gouveneur Morrie over a novelization of bis picture. “Tabu.” But the story goes that a native witch-doctor came to Murnau when he broke hallowed ground to build his Tahitian home, and warned him that a curse would follow him back to America. Some cynical folk around Hollywood insist that the real purpose of Robert Murnau’s trip to the South Seas is to prepare a film story. Charlie Chaplin, who isn’t given

to bragging, tells me that his new picture will be the funniest he ever made. Contrary to his custom, the comedian is writ- i ing an elaborate | scenario. “If I’d started with my usual outline script,” he said. “I’d have been in production I long ago. r As it is. the starting date of the picture is still the mythi-

cal “six weeks.” Even Charlie laughs when he says it now. DD YOU KNOW — That Claire Dodd, portrayer of film sirens, teaches a Sunday school class of 19 girls?

(Special) —The national reemployment service in Indiana will consolidate Ils 96 offices throughout the stale into fourteen district offices May 1, it was announced 1 today by M. F.
