’Chute Jumper
Meets His Jinx
All Set for His Leap,
Barr Calls It Off
Because of Rain.
Louis Barr, who always has insisted
he isn't superstitious, is wondering
whether, after all, there's something
In this Friday-the-13th jinx.
He planned, in complete defiance of
the double jinx day, to make a para
chute jump from Beacon Field at 13
minutes past 6 o'clock last night. He
took a black cat—a toy one—with him.
He spilled salt, walked under a ladder
and took a third light from a match.
He was all set to show there's nothing
in a day.
Then, /ust as he was about to board
a plane, a thunderstorm came up.
He had to call off the jump.
Barr, who works for the Internal
Revenue -Bureau, is a member of the
Washington Parachute Club.
M. O. Eldridge, acting traffic di
rector, has more respect for Friday
the 13th, He declined to have his new
car delivered yesterday. It was sent to
him today. *

CLAIM won
Literary Fight Title Is Still
Open After Eastman
Hemingway Battle.
By (he Associated Press.
NEW YORK. August 14 Thm
literary heavyweight title, left, var*.ni
since the memorable Sinclair Lew]*
Theodore Dreiser go in the Metropol
itan Club in 1931, was still open today
A now historic bout between Mai
Eastman, leftist- essayist, and Ernest
Hemingway, writer of "he-man" nov
els. failed to settle anything
Editor Maxwell Perkins of Charle:
Scribner's Sons, publishers, in show
paneled office (laughingly railed i
sanctuary i the fight occurred nr
Wednesday, was non-rommitt,al
refused to give the nod to either man
Although he was referee, it was not h’
choice, he said.
Both Claim Victory.
Meanwhile, both writers rlaimei
victory as they weighed out. todav
j Hemingwav, 39. and 6 feet, tipped th
beam at 197. Eastman. 54. and alsi
6 feet, leveled the weight at 180
If the prize was publicity, they hot I
won. i Please note Hemingway sail
| for Spain today to have another loo
| the civil war. Eastman was a
! Marthas Vineyard, Mass., after «r
| ranging for publication of a new bool
j on poetry.)
The pair met by chance in Perk -v
office. On the editor's desk was a rop
of a book by Eastman called "Bull :
I he Afternoon," presumably not en
! tirely complimentary to a book h
I Hemingway about bull-fighting en
titled "Death in the Afternoon."
Began to Get Sore.
In the book appeared this para
graph: "Come out from behind tha
false hair on your chest, Ernest. W
all know you."
Hemingway looked at the close
book, and, in his own words, ' began i
get- sore." First he bared his cheat i
prove he had hair on it.
Then, whether Hemingway picked ,i
the volume and threw it in Eastman
face, as Eastman says, or w h»r.hp
Ernest simply slapped Max's fare, a
Ernest contends, the fight was on.
Max said he hurled the st.rappin
Hemingway backward over Perkin
desk. Ernest denied it, and ofTer-'i
to post a SI 000 purse for a retur
engagement "in a closed room - wh«r
no one can interfere "
"The best man will unlock thp door,
he said
"Better" is the word, Mr. Heming
way.
