Additional WalkOuts

Athens. June 20 P,-Strikes in
various industries continued to
trouble Greece today.
Employees on the electric railroad
between Athens and the Port Of
Ilraeus and tramway workers de-
cided to join in the walkout. Build

quit work tomorrow.
Many bakers. employees of the wa
terWorks and tobacco workers in
Salonika and kavala. however, were
returning to their work.
A threat of lower grade civil serv-
ants to walkout was repudiated by
another branch. In most cases
transport workers continued at their
posts.
| 1t was denied that the army and
navy had been affected by the strike.
A general strike was proclaimed in
Nolo. but none has been proclaimed
as yet in Athens.
With the WORKERS returning in the
. saloniki district the populace was
assured Of an ample supply Of bread
and water.
The government claimed to have
the situation we'll in hand.

grange AND PYLE
end Connections
Sports Partnership Is Severed
With Friendly Feelings

Chicago, June 20 P-Red Grange
and Charley Pyle. the Damon and
Pythias of professional sports, have
cancelled their partnership.
! We are seVering our business re-
lations under friendliest feelings"
said their joint statement last night.
our contract has expired. we have
various interests to look after per-
sonally and therefore deem it mad
Nlsable 10 sign new agreement"
The statement said Pyle ard
Grange remain personal friends
and hope always to be SUCH"
Dissolution OF the partnership
after three years was understood to
have been at the insistence OF
Grange. who desired to be free TO
direct his athletic and moving pic
ture activities as he saw fit.
The Grange Pyle combination was
born in 1925 when Grange became
one of the most talked of men In
college sports by reason of his
proves as 4 football player at the
University of Illinois. Pyle. who op-
Grated moving picture theatcr
near the university, saw the posi-
bilities for large financial reward
through diversion of Oranges tall
.nts to professional football and the
movies.
Grange. through the managerial
assistance of Pyle, thus became IA
pioneer in the field Of big money via
football. He never was the sensa-
ton OH 4 professional grdiron he
was while playing halfback for ILL.,
nois: but his name drew thousands
of dollars to the football games in
which he played.
The prominence of his name gave
Grange numerous other chances 10
profit. chiefly through testimonials
for manufactured products. His NOV
ing picture contracts returned even
more.
Pylc's success on promoting
Grange led him to branch out into
other sport fields
His conversion of Suzanne Lcng-
len and Vincent Richards from am
atcur TO professional ranks was the
first important inroad to be made
into amateur tennis by any sports
promoter. His transcontncntal foot
race, recently completed. was Il
novel sports promotion which, how
ever, was generally presumed TO
have proved Il costlys adventure.
Grange, although acting as an Off
cial Of this race. said he was not
financially interested in it.
The Joint statement Of Grange
and Pyle announced Oranges per-
manent retirement from professional
football, owing to the condition of
his knee, which has troubled him
for some time.
Grange said some time ago that
the family home at Wheaton, ILL.,,
vas for sale and that as soon as II
buyer was found he would move to
California to be near his moving
picture work.
