DRAFT VETERAN JUMPER
 TO WEAR FRENCH COLORS

PARIS, June l01A jump of 1.S3 meters-about 6 feet, 2 in. ches-negotiated by Pierre Lew den, the veteran French high jumper, has brought a ray of hope in the heart of the Olympic fans here.
 Lewden was third to Harold Osborn and LeRoy Brown of the United States in 1924 and had done little jumping since. Some months ago the French Olympic Committee begged him to come out of his retirement and he took up light training.
 Lewden's jump-a record for France-was made in private and, although several of the Fedora tion's officials were present, will not go down in the record books, as 1t was not made in competi- tion.

BASEBALL SAME
 AS 20 YEARS AGO SAYS BED" WALSH

CHICAGO, June 20-Twentv years have failed to produce any thing new in baseball for Big Ed Walsh, one of the greatest pitchers of all times.
 Walsh, a member of the White Sox board of strategy, asserts the only improvement he has noted has been in the baseball itself. That's as lively as rabbit" remarked the former spit ball artist, but the game is not being played any better or any faster by present day stars"
 In moment of reminiscence, Walsh recalled the famous White Sox of 1906. the Black Sox" of 1919 and the Athletics of 1914, the great team that Connie Mack broke up. The Yankees, as a fielding combination, do not com pare with either of those teams, Walsh declares. He says, how ever, the offensive power of the Tanks is greater.
 During my tenure iI the Amer ican League" Walsh said, "all Of the clubs were tough, with every club having at least three real pitchers. You do not find that today.
 "The 1906 White Sox with Sul- livan catching, Dick White. Nick Altrock, Roy Patterson, Mic Owen. Ed White and myself pitching; Donahue at first, Isa- bell on second, Davis at short and Tannehill on third; Dougher- ty, Jones and O'Neill in the out field was great team, It was not a great hitting club, but the boys knew baseball and played it all the time. have not noted any improvement over their work in any team today, except pos sibly in batting"
 Walsh-now 47-will introduce his oldest son, Ed, Jr., to base ball this summer as a member of the White Hose. A year or two later, Bob, another son, will be given chance in the big show. Ed, Jr., at present is the star finger for the Notra Dame nine, which Walsh helps to de- velop each spring.

CLOSE Guard IN
BUENOS AIRES
Safety Measures Kept Up
After Great Greeting
in Argentina.
BY THOMAS L. STOKES
United Press staff COrrespondent


BUENOS AIRES, Dec. 14.-Safety
measures for the protection of Presi-
dent-Elect Herbert Hoover we're in
creased today after the arrest of
four men who attempted to hold a
demonstration III favor of the Mica
raguan rebel chief, General Angus
tino Sandino.
Argentine and American secret
service men combined to protect

was under constant patrol.
Two men and two girls previously
had been arrested in connection
with a plot to bomb the train on
which Hoover came to Buenos Aires
from Santiago, Chile.
Gives Great Greeting
The girls we're released, but po-
lice closely questioned the men and
obtained further information on the
activities of the radical elements.
Bombs and ammunition were found
in a raid on house frequented by
radicals.
Persons who had witnessed other
popular demonstrations here said
today that Buenos Aires-the Paris
of the western World''-had out
done it's previous welcomes in ex-
tending a greeting to the Hoover
party.
n Hoover was not disturbed by the
yeportS of the plot against his life
and President Irigoyen-one of the
most outstanding statesmen in the
world and highly popular in his own
county-apparently ignored the en-
tire matter and rode beside Hoover
on the way to the American en-
basSy.
d Banquet Tonight
Today's program included sight
seeing trip through the port and
stockyards during the morning,
luncheon with President En-
rique Martinez, Andres Ferreyra,
president of the senate, and Jose
Luis Cantillo, president Of the
chamber, in the chamber of
deputies and a banquet in the eve
ming by President Irigoye at govern
lfaent house.
Mrs. Hoover will entertain the
wife of the mayor of the city and
the wives of several members of
the diplomatic corps at luncheon.

PAVING COST ITEM
IS BAR TO MERGER
Commissioners Unwilling to
o. K. Provision for Pay
ment by Public.

An unexpected barrier to the trans
mission of the transit merger plan to
Congress for ratification developed to-
day when the District Commissioners
indicated to the Public Utilities Com
mission an unwillingneSS to agree 10 a
provision in the unification agreement
which would transfer from the traction
companies to the taxpayers the burden
of paying three -fourths of the cost of
paving and maintenance of pavement
between the street car tracks and two
feet on either side The cost and MAIN
tenance of the paving between the car
tracks is estimated at Sl50,000 a year.
Although the Commissioners have lot
definitely reached a decision with re-
spect to this provision, they intend 70
do so before asking the Bureau of the
Budget whether the transfer of the paw
ing item from the car companies to the
taxpayers would be in accord with the
financial program of President Coolidge
Irrespective of the Commissioners
decision and the ruling OF the Budget
Bureau. the merger agreement faces
a delay in it's transmission TO the
Capitol. Otherwise. the agreement, to-
gether with proposed legislation to
make 1t effective, probably would have
been sent to Congress early next week,
as the last known potential obstacle in
its path was removed yesterday after
noon when the stockholders of the
Washington Railway g. Electric Co. ap-
proved the pact as revised by the Pub
lie Utilities Commission.
The merger agreement as originally
drawn contained provision that the
companies be relieved of the entire ex-
pense of paving between the tracks ex-
eept as incidental to ordinary track re-
pairs. The Public Utilities Commis-
sion. however. modified the provision
so that the companies would only have
to bear one-fourth of the cost of paw
ing between tracks.
