S|SLER SOLD TO BOSTON BRAVES
Was Popular Rival Of Rogers
 Hornsby in St. Louis

Boston. May oS Pl-George H. Sisler. once one of the greatest first basemen and battcrs in the Amer- can league, joined the ranks of the Boston Braves today by virtue of outright purchase from the Wash ington Senators.
 The deal was the first consummat- ed by the Braves under the less than week old management of Rogers Hornsby, star second baseman who took over reins from Jack Slattery a few days ago.
 It brought to Boston Hornsby's strongest rival in the affection of St. Louis fans in the days when Hornsby wore a Cardinal uniform and Sisler the Brown. Its effect ex- perts believed. would be to strength en the warriors in what is at pres- ent a vulnerable position.
 Although no official announcement of Sisler's assignment was forthcom- ing from the club offices it was generally believed that the former Brown manager would take Dick Burrus' place at first and that Bur rus, who has not demonstrated any thing like his oldtime form. would be held temporarily as a reserve.
 Sisler had been on the market without a taker since shortly after the opening of the season. Origin ally thought to be in line for Joe Judges place. Sisler was given lit tie opportunity to show what he could do and there were persist snt reports that recurrence of eye and sinus trouble which had forced him out of the game in 1923 had robbed him of his effectiveness.
 The Senators asked waivers on the former star. but none of the American league clubs sought his services and he became available to the National league. meeting be- tween Hornshy and Sisler at a local hotel where the Senators were rain bound last week brought up the question of Sisler's joining the tribe. The man who in 1922 had been vot cd the most valuable player in the league and had hatted .4c0 told the new manager of the Braves that his sight was right and general health good
 l Hornsby at once took up with Judge Emil F.. Fuchs the matter of purchase and the latter gave his consent. No details of the financial arrangements were made public, it was reported that the Braves. in ad- dition to assuming Ssler's contract probably paid considerably over the | waiver price of $7.500.
 sisler is 35 years old and although he has never matched his 1922 rec ord he has shown occasional flashes of power in the few games he has played this year, and Braves fans were confident his coming would be big boost to a seventh place club with first division aspirations.

 New York. May 2S Nt--The Greeks started the discus throwing. but the Films and Americans have put the finish to it. No Greek hos ever won an Olympic championship, even at the native style Of hurling the big disc. Of the tetn titles America has captured six, Finland three and Hungary one.
 Arrangements were made for a Greek killing in this event in 1o0G. when the Games returned 10 Athens. but an 1rishman upset the program. C.rorgantas. the Greek entry. was the favorite.

 Duncan's world record stood for 1S years, meanwhile. until Houser and another Californian, Glenn Hartranft, started double-bar- i reled attack on if. Between them this pair of stars shattered the worlds record four times. Hart ranft holds the official record on the books, 157 feet, ] 5-S inches,

This weeks feature match will
bring together the Convention Hall

sred-hot rivals for years. and both
are in the thick of the District

However, their battle will be no
warmer than that between the Pops

The transfer Of Paddy Bush

The Mohawks, meeting stronger

However, the MOhawks iced
the decision when Dewey circled

Away From Ceremony

PARIS, Oct. 30.-Forty miles of
new railway between the French
Riviera and the Italian Piedmont
were opened today without the pres
ence of Mussolini, who had original
ly expressed his intention of being
present at the Inauguration cere-
mony.
As a result of the protests of
Italian refugees and anti-fascists in
France Mussolini was so frightened
that he decided to stay away. But
an unusual watch over the Italian
minister of National economy, Sig
nor Giurati, who participated in the
opening, was ordered.
The speeches of the French and
Italian diplomats were not very en-
thusiastic due to uneasiness concern
ing the military strategy of the new
line. They were further en-
barrassed by the recent arrest for
espionage of an Italian clerk in the
Italian consulate at Lyons. Docu-
ments concerning the French de-
fenses of the Alps the Mediterranean
coast and Corsica were found on the
spy, who revealed a plot to obtain
the new French automatic rifle for
the Italian government. When the
spy was caught, plans had already
been made to smuggle the rifle
across the border.

The American financial oligarchy
has made the best choice in having
secured the nomination of Herbert
Hoover as the presidential candidate
for the republican party. If he is
elected president of the United
States on November 9Th of this year
and there is no doubt that he
will - American Imperialism will
make further step in the realiza-
ton of its program of merging fl
nance capital and government APP
paratus. For Mr.. Hoover is not only
an obedient servant of capitalism,
a strong man for the maintenance
and furtherance of colonial aggres-
sion, but he himself is an expert fl
nancier whose interests are involved
in Latin America, particularly in
Colombia and Mexico.
Hoover a Millionaire.
Hoover's annual budget is esti-
mated to be over 100000. The
meagre salary as secretary of COM
merce that he has been getting I'M
til recently hardly covered the ex-
penses for the rent of his modest
mansion. His services to the CAPT
talist class brought lucrative re-
turn and, furthermore, the exper-
fence in the investment of capital in
foreign trade monopoly served him
to change his position from a mere
manager to respectable investor, a
financier of good abilities looking
after his future"

According to American Politics

the board of the General Petroleum

Company. These combined interests
control $500 acres of oil lands and
$50 acres of water frontage at Tam
