Quakes Shake Montana Cities

Helena, Mont.-An earth tremor.
variously estimated at six to 10 Sec
onds, but causing no damage, was
felt in south central Montana. The
quake, though apparently not SO
broad in it's extent as the one which
rocked the state June 2, 1925, seems
from available reports to have cen.
tered at the same point, near Man
haitian, Northwest OF Bozeman.

Uphold Charley Hoff
In His Status as
Amateur Vault King

New York, April 27.-(P)-CharIey
Hon, world champion pole vaulter
from Norway, appears to have been
cleared before an inquiry into re-
ports that his expense accounts were
questionable before it had gotten well
under way.
The Amateur Athletic Union, act
ing upon clippings from a Chicago
newspaper, has instructed its western
representatives to investigate rumors
that 'over-charges on Hoff's account
We're made for his appearance at the
Kansas and Drake University relay
carnivals the past two weeks.
The case serves to recall the visit
a year ago of the great Finnish mid
die distance runner, Paavo Nurmi,
whose role as a star of the American
track season Hoff assumed the past
winter. Nurmi failed to appear for
the Kansas City event but this soon
was explained. Thcn came question
ing of his expense accounts at Des
Moines. but finally he was cleared.
Official views from both the Uni
verslty of Kansas and Drake Uni
versity defend the Norwegian. DIR.
Forrest c. Allen. director of athletics
at Kansas. said last night that he
was sure that Amateur Athletic Tn
ion rules had not been violated. Hoff

by the national body. DR.. Allen said
and added that the university paid
the expenses of Mrs. Hoff and Other
Mr.. and Mrs. George Baan. Baan is
Hoff's brother-in- law.
1t develops that Baan acting as
manager, refused to permit Hoff to
vault until motion picture m IN had
left the field at the Kansas meet and
this led to the report that the pole
vaulter had signed contracts TO ap-
pear on the screen in story to be
taken from a book he is writing.
Despite Baan's precaution advices
from Des Moines are that the pic
ture men claim to have hidden theif
cameras in the stands there and OBJ
tained the desired pictures.
The allegation that started the in
was that Hoff had receiv-
ed $500 in Lawrence, Kas.. and would
receive $500 for participation in the

RICHARD is STILL
HESITANT TO name
DEMPSEYS OPPONENT

New York, Apr. 27.- up - Tex
Rickard came home today with Jack
Dempsey's signed contract in his
pocket and a dazzling Texas SOM
brero on his head.
The contract. lie explained. binds
Dempsey to fight under hir promo
ton in defense OF his heavyweight
title against either Harry Wills or
Gene Tunney. sometime in Septem-
her, somewhere in New York or New
Jersey. The hat. he said was gift
of Anon G. Carter, publisher of the
Fort Worth Star-Telegram. a boy
hood friend, in whose office the arti-
Giles of agreement were signed.
Richard refused to ~stipulate just
who would be Dempseys opponent
and furthermore he said the oppon-
ent may not be announced until two
months before the fight, the final date
for naming the challenger under the
terms of the agreement with the
heavyweight champion.

Richard. but I'll tell yoq right now
Dempsey would rather fight Wills
than Tunney. He, figures the negro

kENT'S HILL OPENS
SEASON TODAY
AGAINST COLBY TEAM

Especial to the Kennebec JournaD
Kent's Hill, Me-, April 26.-Kent's
Hill Seminary opens its baseball sea-
son on Wednesday with a game with
the Colby Second team at Watervil1e.
The squad from the Hilltop is
beginning its season under two
heavy disadvantages, one is that on
ly three regulars of last years team
are in school. These are Nusspick-
ell, who has caught so effectively for
the past two years. Horne, the rangs
football tackle who a1ternated be-
tween first base and outfield last
year, and Cascadden, last years
shortstop, who is probably the best
hitter on the squad.
The other handicap is that in spite
of the hard work which the boys
did in clearing the diamond from
snow. the field is not yet dry enough
for use. Everybody has gotten their
shoulders hardened UP as much as
possible in the gymnasium and oE
three different days they have had
batting and fielding practice on va
rious fields belonging to the Semin-
airy farm where the land sloped
enough to allow for better drainage.
The game Wednesday will be their
first appearance on a real diamond.
To offset the lack Of material, how
ever, from last years team, there
are some valuable players from high
schools. The squad which leaves the
Hill Wednesday morning will cons
sist of the three boys mentioned
above, with Knight OF So. Paris and
Sanborn of Portland as additional
infielders, Dondero and Trumbull of
Newburyport and Tapley of Bangor
as outfielders, and Finn of West
brook and Allen Of Strong as pitch
ers. Other good prospects are Cou-
sens of Portland, Casper Of Bangor,
Bernadini Of Bar Harbor, Davis of
Portland, and Ward Of So. Portland.
It is likely that one or two Of these
will accompany the squad to be tried
out. Barry Of So. Portland is
likely candidate for the infield and
Will doubtless be used later.

Raps Findings of

New York, April 27-P)-The Col

today attacks he American Associa-
ton Of University Professors for what
1t calls establishment and dis
appointment" in the report of a COM
mittee which found intercollegiate
football menace to morals and edu-
cation.
"To add to our establishment,
they have seen fit to propose as a
solution what amounts to the obliter-
alton of intercollegiate contests, a
scheme obviously too radical to sue
coed in the face Of the present popu-
larity of the game.
Our real disappointment, though,
lies in the fact that group of faculty
members has descended to the level Of
the Watch and Ward Society. Our feel
ing that they have hit upon the wrong
method for reform Is not half so i'm
portant as our feeling that they should
have known better. They could so
easily have done the thing quietly
among themselves, but they will find
II difficult to obtain the cooperation Of
