NURMI HALTED UNTIL
CHARGES CLEARED UP
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, May 6.-The record
breaking American tour of Paavo
Nurmi came to a temporary halt
when Frederick w Ruben, chair
man of the national registration COM
mittee of the Amateur Athletic Union,
announced that he had Cancelled all
future track appearances of the Fin
nish running marvel until his man
ager, Hugo Quist. officially answers
charge of demanding excessive eX-
pense money to run at the recent
Drake relays.
Ruben said he had telegraphed
Merrill Andruss, San Francisco A. a.
L. official, more than week ago to
question Quist regarding the charge
of Kenneth l.. Wilson, athletic direc-
tor at Drake University, that $1,000
had been asked for Nurmi to appear
at the Drake meet.
Although Quist had been quoted in
newspapers as denying the charge of
Wilson, Ruben said he had failed to
file an official answer with Andruss
or any other A. A. u. official.
In order to prevent the investiga-
ton from being further prolonged.
Ruben explained. he had been forced
TO call off Nurmi'S tour. From ad-
vices he had received the registra-
ton chairman said, he believed Quist.
Nurmi and Ritola would arrive in
Chicago today and that instead of
going to New England for the two
scheduled appearances in the East.
they would come Immediately to New
York, where the entire matter could
be threshed out.
Ruben reiterated his faith in the
integrity of Nurmi, declaring that he
believed the Finnish running star
had no part in any arrangements for
a race at the Drake relays.

Borotra, according to word received
from Paria, is going to defend his title
at Wimbledon, and he knows that
Hennessey is to be there. The Irish
man is not the only person who loves
a fight. One would have thought that
Borotra had enough last Summer,
when he was hardly able to drag him
self off the courts at the West Side
Tennis Club after Hennessey had dis
posed Of him. 1t would be interesting
to have Tilden and Richards and
Johnston go along, too, but as long
as they can't, the unknown who was
able to beat Borotra will do.
English galleries have seen an
Atlantic coast man and a Pacific coast
man win their championship. Now
they are going to see how the Middle
West plays tennis. Hennessey prob
ably won't be as successful as were
Tilden and Johnston, but one thing
American tennis fans may be sure Of,
he. is going to be well liked.
The Indianapolis youth carries his
honors wisely. In spite Of the fact
that he beat Borotra in the national
championship and Gerald Patterson
and Brian Norton in the Western
championship, and jumped from no.
where to the seventh position in the
national ranking, all in one season,
Hennessey is just as quiet-mannered
and unassuming and likable as he
was in the days when he stayed in his
own yard in Indianapolis and left IL
for others to struggle for the laurels.
He and the genial Jean should get
along famously together at Wimbledon.
As the years go marching on. the
tennis schedule keeps getting longer.
With more than $50 sanctioned tourna-
ments listed by the United States
Lawn Tennis Association for this sea
son. the slogan of the organization
should be a tournament a day. Each
tournament runs approximately d
week. making $50 weeks of tennis in
a year. If the tennis player doesn't
think that is enough, with daylight

MISS COLLETT WINS
TWICE In ENGLAND

In their next match Miss Collett
and Mrs. Macbeth defeated Miss b.
Marland and Miss p Foden of St.

The winners played none too steady
golf for the most part. but had no
difficulty in defeating their opponents,
although the latter had a concession
of II strokes.
The American star shared the at
tentions of the gallery with the vet
eran player, Mrs. Miller, a gray bob
bed-haired lady of 10. who played
steadily and always straight, but she
lacked the strength with which TO
keep up with the younger generation.
None of the faVUriteS fell by the
Wayside yesterday, when play pro-
ceeded through intermittent showers,
with constantly changing winds.
Late in the afternoon, after yester.
days play ended. Miss Collett played
a practice round and a small gallery
brayed the showers to follow her. She
went around in 50.

Not since 1920, when the rowing
association crews. last rowed by
themselves, have the hosts of this
famous party on the Hudson finished
better than third.
The Navy won in 1927 and Cal
ifornia was second. In 1922 the Navy
finished first and Washington second.
In 1928 the order was reversed,
Washington first and Navy second,
and last year Washington finished in
the van, with Wisconsin as the run
ner-up.
There seems to be every possibility
on the basis of the showing of crews
thus far, that universities belonging
to the Intercollegiate Rowing Asso-
citation will have to be content with
rearward places for yet another year
at least.
The Wisconsin crew was out on
Lake Mendoza two weeks earlier than
usual this season and the oarsmen
are showing the excellent effects of
this release from the shackles of
Winter. 1t now seems likely that the
Badgers are going to send a very
good crew to the Hudson.

It was at the Meadow Brook Club,
Reading, Mass. in 1895 that Mrs. Fox
first qualified for the national cham
pionship. That was a comparatively
easy achievement then, for there were
only 100 or 200 woman golfers in the
country.
In subsequent years, however. when
the number of players increased to
thousands, Mrs. Fox continued to
qualify. Since 1895 she has failed
only four times, in 1911, 1918. 1928 and
1924, to gain admission to the select

One day the writer was fishing off
Long Key, making for that fine strip
of water between Tennessee Buoy and
Alligator Light, when cero mackerel
OF 4 or pounds was hooked.
That cero mackerel was wanted be-
cause of its delicious food value and
was hastened to the boat for fear
of its being stolen by barracuda.
When it was within 5 or 6 feet of
the net it was attacked by five food
mad barracuda, which came like a
bolt of silver out of the depth, churn-
ing the water into foam in their
frenzy. Before one could say Jack
Robinson the cero was severed just
below the head. This was angrily be-
ing reeled in when, within a few feet
of the boat, a huge barracuda took 1t
with a fierce rush, hooking himself.
During the next minute this fish broke
three times, and the last time shook
himself free. The guide said he
thought 1t weighed over 60 pounds
and was by far the largest one he had
ever seen.
