Doheny Paid McAdoo $3.50, 900
CreeI Says Doheny
Advanced 1000 for
Leasing Oil Land
BY Associated Press.

New York, Feb. 1.-George Creel,
head of the bureau of public informa-
ton at Washington in President Will
sons administration, whose name was
mentioned by E. l.. Doheny in the
senate oil lease investigation today,
issued the following statement.
I'm late November, 1920, l was vis-
tied by Leo J. Stack, an old-time
Denver friend of mine. He said that
he was in the oil BUSINESSMAN indie
pcndent--i.nd had plan in connec-
ton with the Wyoming naval reserve.
As he made it clear, the incoming re-
publican administration with Senator
Fall, as secretary of the interior.
meant to turn over most or the
Wyoming and California reserves to
private interests.
"Since this was bound to be the
case, why not have them go to a
company that would give the navy
a fair bargain and the best possible
ROYALTY terms?" He offered me an
advance of $4,000 to associate myself
with him and I accepted.
II gave considerable time to the
plan and we went to Washington
and made repeated calls upon both
Secretary Daniels and his adviser.
Secretary Daniels position remained
the same throughout. He did not
doubt that the naval reserves were
going to be turned over to private
exploitation by the incoming repub-
lic2n administration, but he was re-
solved that neither word nor act OF
his should lend countenance to any
such procedure.
Some weeks later, while in Wash.
ington, I met Mr.. Doheny in hotel
lobby and he made haste to inform
me that the IS 900 advanced by Stack
had been Doheny money. The news
was an unpleasant shock, for never
at any time had Stack mentioned
Doheny's name, and I withdrew at
once from all connection with the
affair."

 OLYMPICS BAD
British Papers Lament HI Feel ing Among Athletes

LONDON, July yi23.-Incidents which aroused international animosity during the Olympic games are widely com mented upon here, where the recognition that, failing in form and growth in gen uine spOrtsmanship, a discontinuance of the, games in the future is almost in- eVitable.
 Tt cannot be denied that the total result of the contests in Paris has been injury to sport and international am ity," says the Daily Telegraph. It adds that it is not surprised to learn that the British Olympic committee informed the international committee that the British boxers would not compete in the Olympics in the future.
 The Chronicle foresees the. possibility of the games having to be stopped by the. governments as a public danger. It, nevertheless, hopes that Great Brit ain will not hastily decide to with draw, and, remarking that the Ameri- cans suffered far more than the British, adds it wOulds seen sufficient that we link our conduct with that of the Americans-if they go, we go; if they stay, we stay"

ence. Tucker hit a single through the box and Gilbert and Henry left only their tracks on the paths. Hoffman flied out to Ganzel and Lapan fOuled out to Rhode.
 Another hitfest in the fifth swelled the Pels' accumulation. Another pass started the trouble, Hoffman received it. Lapan singled, the ball hopping over Stewards head. Hoffman took third. Ewoldt hit fly to Ganzel and Hoffman scored after the catch. The ball hit right for Robertson to tag the runner, but both arrived at about the same time and Robbie did not snag the hop. Jackson flied out to Jeanes with no advance of runners, but Hodge got his third consecutive hit, double to right field, which scored Lapan. Bo- gart singled and Gilbert followed in turn, scoring Hodge. Henry singled, scoring Bogart. Clarke had gone in and pitched to Henry, and Tucker ended the inning by flying to Jeanes.
 Jackson Triples
 Jackson's triple in the seventh and Bogart's sacrifice fly accounted for the tenth run for the Pels.
 In addition to their two homers the Barens made one more tally. Ganzel singled in the fourth, went to third on Robertson's single to right and scored on Walkers long fly to Gilbert.
 Hodge was a big factor in winning his game, getting two singles and a double out of four times up. Ganzel got three singles out of four tries. Jeanes got a single and home run out of four tries, while Jackson got dou- bIe and triple.
 The Bears open a three-day four game series here Thursday. A double header will be staged Thursday with Sep Good working in the second game and the Barons' latest recruit, Phil Sawyer, from Johnson City, of the Ap- palachian league, pitching the first en- counter.
