DO All in Your Power to
Win Stay,' Says Letter
to Lawyers.
FINAL FIGHT PLANNED
HabeaS Corpus Writ Will
Be Asked in Federal
Court Thursday.
BY LOUIS F. KEEMLE
United Press STAFF Correspondent

United Press STAFF Correspondent
NEW YORK;. Jan. 10.-No move
was made today to stay the execu-
ton of Ruth Snyder and Henry
Judd Gray, and the time set for their
death was only sixty hours away.
At Sing Sing prison, thirty-one
miles up the Hudson. preparations
for electrocuting them went stead
lily ahead.
Mrs. Snyder was not resigned to
die, while Gray awaited death
calmly.
The woman seemed unwilling to
admit the fact that death impended
and was buoyed up by the belief that
her lawyers. in some way, would find
a means of getting a stay.
Her hope was based mainly on
the promise of Joseph Lonardo, one
of her attorneys, that he would ap-
ply for a writ Of habeaS corpus in
Federal Court Wednesday. 4.,
Lonardo, with Edgar Hazleton,
chief counsel. and Dana Wallace,
another associate. expected to call
on Mrs Snyder this afternoon. She
had written to leonardo last night,
sending the letter through her
brother, Andrew Brown. She asked
Lonardo to DO all in his power to
save her.
No Word From Smith
Lonardo planned to have Mrs.
Snyder sign a petition to be pre-
sented to Federal Court Thursday
asking for, a writ of habeas corpus
on the ground that her rights un-
der the Federal Constitution had
been violated when she was made to
stand joint trial with Gray and
convicted partly on the testimony of
all accomplice.
The ordinary procedure would be
for the Federal judge to set the next
hearing day, which in this case is
Friday, for argument on granting
the writ. Counsel then would ask
the Governor for a stay until the
Federal procedure could be COM
pleted.
No word came from Governor
Smith of when he would announce
his decision on the appeal for Glenn
ency in behalf of Mrs. Snyder and
Gray
Both prisoners slept we'll last
night. Gray continued studying his
Bible today. while Mrs. Snyder read
letters expressing sympathy and
cheer.
Asks for Black Dress
Mrs. Snyder will remain In her
present cell about sixty yards or so
from the death chamber until led
to execution.
Gray will be taken to another cell
on Thursday just outside the door
of the death chamber.
Although Mrs. Snyder asked her
mother for a black silk dress and
lingerie, she probably will die in the
regulation blue prison uniform with
short skirt to permit easy fssten-
ing of the electrode to one leg. The
stocking on that leg will be slit.
Gray will wear the usual prison
uniform, minus one sock and with
the trousers leg slit.
Warden Lawes and prison physi-
clans denied the prisoners will be
given any sedatives or drugs before
they are led into the death chamber.

BASEBALL GAME
NOW INTERESTS
YOUTH OF HAITI

Port Au Prince, Dec. 5.-(AP)--
After l3 years of American occupa-
ton the youth Of Haiti have finally
succumbed to the lure of baseball
Despite the first activities of the
marines on the diamond, the natives
remained Indifferent. They made a
few timid trials Of the game, but
proved rank novices, although across
the border in Santo Domingo the
natives were able to furnish the
leatherneck teams with the scrap
piest class Of opposition.
To Lieutenant Paul j. Halloran.
civil engineer corps Of the navy, and
district engineer at Gonaives, goes
the palm for finally putting baseball
on the Haitian map.
An old Dartmouth star, he re.
fused to accept the dictum that a
Haitian could not play the game.
Out of his clerical force he recruited
2 corps of volunteers, whose puzzled
faces plainly registered the question:
What's it all about" Halloran
proceeded to tell them.
Suddenly, out of the chaos, Con-
aives fell, and fell hard. The pend
armes stationed there caught the
fever. A visiting battleship came to
Halloran's timely aid with a supply
OF baseball material. which an I'M
feeling government promptly taxed,
and Gendarmerie Headquarters
kicked in with more material. The
gendarmes blossomed out with caps
of red and blue, and the diamond
behind their caserne vibrates daily to
the Creole equivalent of baseball
slang.
Not to be outdone. Colonel Louis
NJ. Gulick, commanding the Marine
Brigade, has arranged to send a
picked team from his outfit to do
battle with one from the American
officers of the Gendarmerie at Con-
aives, to demonstrate to it's hectic
fans the full thrills of the national
game.

Big Ten athletic directors and

to take drastic steps, if necessary,
to stop jeering. Education will be
tried first, and if that fails the
crowds will be policcd.
Booing and kissing of officials by
spectators at basketball games last

the existence Of basketball as a
Big Ten sport. The directors, at
their last meeting, discussed the
subject and asked the cooperation

Acting at the instigation of the
directors the coaches last week de-
cided upon vigorous educational

WORRY HARMFUL
TO MAJORITY OF
FAMED RUNNERS
Otto Peltzer Says That Viii.
liams Won Dashes Because
He Didn't Care

Wickersdorf. Thuringia. (AP)--
One reason why Lloyd Hahn, Sera
Martin, and Helmut Koernig did not
win the golden medals at the Am
sterdam Olympics that their support
ers expected them to gather in is
the fact that these men had too
much at stake. This is the opinion
of Otto Peltzer, holder of the world
record for the 1900 meter distance.
'ln sporting circles the question
is much argued whether hard or
light training is the better means of
preparing for big contests" Peltzer
observes. II have been criticized
for training as hard as l do. But
what of the Firms, who proportion
ately develop more and better ath-
letes than any other nation? They
know how to train harder than any
nation.
Opinion Is Sensible
"The question is in my opinion
not one of the relative merits of two
methods Of training, but Of sensible
attitude toward competition in
sports. l don't believe that Martin
Lloyd Hahn or Koernig really
trained too hard. They could not
achieve victory at Amsterdam be-
cause they were too high favorites,
because they had hardly anything to
gain over their previous records but
on the contrary too much to lose"
Peltzer believes that the best way
to gain the psychological frame of
mind for achieving outstanding sue
cesses is to appear in contest after
contest, even if one knows in adj
vance that one will be beaten. "Only
if one has become used to defeats
will ones nerves be in condition at
decisive moments to do the big
thing" he believes.
Referring to his own failure at
Amsterdam, Peltzer says the doc
tors told him before the Olympics
that he was in no condition to win.
But he entered nevertheless in order
to get his nerves used to defeat.
Competition Is Good
|. MY recent experience has anew
convinced me that the numerous
competitions do not interfere with
the quality of ones performances, !"
Peltzer concludes. within ten days
/ won five international victories
and secured two good seconds.
If one can enter every contest
unconcerned as to victory or defeat,
numerous col. petitions won't hurt.
On the other hand, if one must every
