Diamond's Brother's Body Eludes Police If They Can Only Find It They Feel Sure They'll Nab 3Ian, Who Mourns The police were playing at hide and seek today, but not very efficiently. They were trying to find the body of one Eddie Diamond, not because they had any particular desire to locate it but because they had a pretty well founded be lief that if they could trace it out iney find one Jack Diamond, very much alive, with it. Eddie was Jack's brother. Jack Is better known as "Legs." The police call him a gangster, a gun carrier, a gun fighter and a mur derer. Commissioner Whalen insists that "Legs" murdered two men in the Hotsy Totsy Cafe on July 13, last, and that he should be made to pay for it.

Ever since "Legs" Diamond became famous, first as a gun toter for "Little Augle" oyer on the East Side, then as a side kick to Arnold Rothsteln, then as a payoff man for some ot Rothstein's business ven tures, and finally as a good two-gun racketeer on his own account, it has been a legend that Eddie was the one person In the whole world that "Legs" really cared for. Eddie died Tuesday at Saranac Lake. He died virtually surrounded by men termed by upstate police New York gunmen. They kept to themselves but they saw to it that no policemen or anyone who might cause Eddie any trouble got any where near him. As soon as Eddie Diamond's death was reported the police at once sup posed here was a chance to pick up "Legs," because most certainly "Legs" would come to the funeral.

The body came down from Sara nac and was tken to a mortuary chapel of the National Casket Company at 138 E. 57th Manhattan- Police went there, but "Legs" didn't. Then it was moved to the under taking establishment 'Of Mathew O'Reilly at 200 E. 38th st. and lt rested there most of yesterday.

Then it was moved again. Today no one seems to know where it is exactly. ERASMUS HALL PLAY Dramatic Society at Erasmus Hall High School will present "Adam and Eve," a farce, at the central Auai' torium. Fort Greene and Hanson Jan. 31 and Feb.

and D. Saturday Night By ARTHUR F. JONES Jr. The return to indoor polo of W. Averell Harriman after a long ab sence is a harbinger of the serious fight that is going to be waged next 6ummer when the new edition of the American "Big Four" is being chosen to meet the challenge of the British.

For when Harriman competes on the Riding Club team at the 101st Cavalry armory tomorrow night with another member of the team that stopped the he will be making the first move toward another international berth. Indoor polo has become a major factor In the development of America's stellar polo players. Never before in the history of the mounted game have three members of an international side been engaged at the indoor game. That is the case this year, with Harriman, Earle A. S.

Hopping and Winston Guest all taking a prominent part in the season. Harrlman's part, though, really starts tomorrow night. Harriman will play at No. 1, with young Earle Hopping, the inter nationalist, at No. 2, and the elder Earle Hopping at No.

3. This team rates about 19 goals indoors, and some 23 goals outdoors, but out doors it would have a fourth mem ber, who would probably raise It to about 30 goals. This Riding Club- trio is scheduled to play the open champions, the Riding and Driving Club outfit of Carl Pflug, Gerry Smith and Wamen Sackman, whose total rating is 23 goals. As the Riding Club will receive four goals by handicap, and since the and D. team has been slowing up of late, it would not be surprising to see the outdoor stars carry off the game.

101ST ALSO TO PLAY As a preliminary to the big game. the 101st Cavalry will meet another Riding Club trio in a Class game. The cavalrymen will use Lt. Milton Kornblum at No. 1, Lt.

John P. Wallace at No. 2 and Walter Brachtel at No. 3. On the Riding Club will be Bill Duryea, star of the Princeton Class champions of 1929, at No.

1, Tom Ewlng at No. 2 and T. S. Watson at No. 3.

In another preliminary contest the 101st Cavalry's Class outfit of Hubert Leonard, Parney O'Donnell and Lt. Howard Rowen will meet a trio of the Squadron A Ex-Mem bers Club. This team is composed of L. T. Whitehead L.

J. Francke and Alan McKay. There will be, in addition to the contests mentioned to take place at the lQlst Cavalry Armory, several games played i Squadron A in Manhattan. In one of these P. M.

C. meets the Peter Tans, It is the fourth circuit game for the college team. The Peter Pans have yet to ring up a victory. Half Suing on Chip, Firm Follow Through UE6 A HALF foR ALU DlVfArKfcfe GOVERNS (SuNGi. 0V AMOUN-f OF POWER APPUEO ro By SOL METZGER Regardless of the distance to the nearby green, Bobby Jones' back- swing for his chip from the sand is always the same.

He takes the club half way back for this shot. You can do that and still control the amount of power you have to apply to the swing through by hitting harder or lighter according to the range. But don't get the idea that you play lt soft for the short distances. You hit through with pep on this snoL, nrmiy, too, else your ball will plop into the air and alight near wnere it starter! irom. You see you take Jitst a bit of sand, but you stroke through with enough firmness for your niblick's face to actually make contact with the ball.

No softness about such a shot. Its a smack right throne. Tomorrow we'll see how Jones takes the club back. Why waste the years trying to lower your score by disregarding in structions? hoi Metzcer has ore pared a free leaflet on The Pivot which he will send to any reader requesting it. Address Sol Metzirer, in care of this paper, and enclose a stamped, addressed envelope.

Matthews Stops Murphy in Fifth Joe Matthews, 137, of the Fiatbush Depot, scored a technical knockout over Stanley Murphy, 137, in the fifth round of a scheduled six-round final at the B. M. T. bouts last Murphy sustained several cuts over his eyes and the referee wisely halted the bout. In the two other six-rounders, Phil Mellflo, 147, of the Building Department, defeated' Joe Wagner, 146, of the Fresh Pond Shop, while Johnny Walsh, 130, of the Coney Island Shops, conquered Lou Flax, 130, of the East New York Shop.

Irs the three four-rounders Bobby De SandLS, 138, East New York Depot, flattened Nat Kaufman, 140, of De Kalb Repair Shop, In the third round; Pete McArdle, 118, of the East New York Inspection Shop, bowled over Joe Caesar, 115, of the Southern Division Elevated, In the first round, and Joe Carno, 140, of the El Track, received the call over Ralph Greenleaf, 138, of the Substation, in four rounds. FIRST HUNDRED EASV Ann Arbor. Mich, (yp) Michigan will start participation in its second hundred dual track and field meets aeainst Chicago here Feb. 22. In the first hundred Michigan won 80 and lost 20.

B06QV JOMtS I Now, Sam Martin is not entered In tomorrow night's classic, but Jimmie Kennedy is. Phil lias a mind to run to win, and putting Jimmie behind him will not exactly cause the gleaming-toothed dusky British Guianan any considerable mental anguish. Still, among the troubles which Phil must overcome are A. L. Chris-tensen, Charles Thompson, Murray Goldfish, Harry McArdle and Jack Mara, another Georgetown promise.

If the long-gaited Philip gets out ahead of that accomplished mob he will have to carry eyes in the back of his skull, unless he plans to scrap his usual custom of watching his "man." IPS AM) DOWNS AT 13TH REGIMENT ARMOR Word has come very directly to this department that a certain indignant field officer ol the 13th Regiment wants to know how I got that way last Monday over the track in the armory at Sumner and Putnam aves. Because tomorrow night's meet is to be run -over those very same boards and includes not only a brilliant array of talent but several of the indoor season's traditional races, I cheerfully point out the sprung boards on the turn in front of the pressbox, the new patch which last Saturday night stuck up above the floor like wooden proudflesh and the two holes that coyly nestled among the planks, filled with splinters. And one again hopes that some-tody with a saw and hammer and nails and a few pieces of planking ill be put to work before the opening gun starts off the meet. l.ID REALLY OFF WITH THIS MEET Certainly a field like that entered In the "Brooklyn College 1,000," v.hich takes its place with the "Rodman Wanamaker Mile" and the K. of C.

"Mile of the Century" as one of the big events of the year, de-serves a firm footing. And that is how I got that way, all hot and bothered over the pressbox turn on the 13th Regiment Armory track. After aU, the Brooklyn College meet gets the "big time" indoor track season oft the mark. Columbus Council K. of C.

officially opens the year, but the athletes are apt not to be quite ready, although this year competition boiled all over the armory on that eventful night. But a glance over the entries for tomorrow night will explain what I mean. Marion Lloyd Wins Voorhees Foil Contest Miss Marion Lloyd, of Brooklyn, member of the fencing team in the last Olympic games, won the Voorhees fencing tournament for women last night by defeating five opponents in the final strip. Miss Lloyd is a member of the Salle d'Armes Vince club. Miss Van Hausa, representing the Washington Square Fencers Club, captured second place with one defeat and four wins.

Third prize winner was Miss Gilbert, of the Fencers Club, with three victories and two setbacks. Miss Lloyd's style proved unfathomable to her contestants and she won her bouts by wide margins. Miss Van Hausa conquered Miss Gilbert in the best match of the evening by a 54 score. After several minutes in a 44 deadlock. Miss Van Hausa made the deciding touche of the fray when she caught Miss Gilbert napping at the close of a thrilling skirmish.

Bacon of Nassau County proposed that the committee recommend drastic limitation of Mexican immigration. Representative Bacon has had a bill before Congress for several years authorizing the limitation of immigration from Mexico to not more than 2.500 persons annually. "The greater part of the immigrants from Mexico -are Indians who are really lnelligible to become citizens of the United States." the Long, Island Congressman declared. "They do not assimilate well and they are undermining American labor in the Southwest very seriously." W. W.

Husband, Assistant Secretary of Labor, told the committee that in comparison with 64,000 persons admitted from Canada for permanent residence last year, the -Johnson bill would allow only about 50,000 to come in. The proposed law that would permit three persons from a country to enter for every United States citizen entering that country as a permanent resident. Canadians who live in Canada but who cross the line daily to work in the United States would, not be affected by the proposed law Mr. Husband testified. Speakers Laud Rev.

Schoenhair arrived Sunday at Roosevelt Field, accompanied by his wile, having flown down from Hartford, Conn. He arrived at Hartford last week following a non-stop flight lrom Akron, Ohio. Unfavorable weather conditions have prevented earlier takeoff and changed the destination from Miami to Tampa.

His plane is a five-place model with all leather interior of light brjown. Schoenhair is taking along a set of golf clubs, portfolio and several suitcases.
