| These same A. A. u. officials, who
are irving to get from under and
thus escape the onus of sponsoring
ANYTHING that might lead to the pro-
fessionalism nf Nurmi and Herr
Doktor Peltzer in the face of the
impending Olympic games, were au-
thority for the statement that Nurmi
actually had started for America
about a week or 10 days ago. They
say he got no nearer that the Finnish
frontier where he was arbitrarily re-
fused passports. The Firms, 1t seems,
had heard of this American ogre who
spoke of anything less than 100000
with an involuntary sheer.
They also heard of Pyle's plan to
bring Nurni. Edwin Wide. the Herr
Doktor and. if possible. Lloyd Hahn.
together in a series of races be-
tween 600 yards and one mile. Fail
Ing that, he hoped to send Nurmi
running in the general direction or
New York in his proposed fallen

Willie KOhIemainen, brother

professional marathOner OF his
day. is another Finn who is
mentioned as a possible starter
i'm this contest Of seeing America
first. last and too much.
The hook up with Nurmi and the
Firms in general is alleged to be
seen through the rather close asso'
citation being maintained between
Pyle and Hugo Quist, who man
aged NurmPs tour so well several
years ago that the A. A. U. almost
decided to issue registration cards
and entry blanks to future mana
gers. Quist, A. A. u. officials de-
clare, now is occupying Pyle's suite
at the Vanderbilt. rent free.
1t Is pretty we'll agreed that
Pyle's chances of lining up Hahn
with >avowed professionalism are
almost nil, only more so, and MOTH
ing has been heard that would
connect Wide with such project.
AS for Nurmi and the Herr Dok-
tor, the former cannot leave Fin
land unless he makes his presence
highly immaterial to the Firms by
spurning his amateur past and, in
the case of Peltzer, the A. A. U.
simply is taking no chances, If that
many.
Upward of one hundred invita-
tons have been issued to the Herr
Doktor to run in meets since Ger
man officials opened the door sew
eral days ago for three possible
appearances by him in this coun.
try. The bids have arrived at the
A. A. u. office from about twenty
clubs in the New York district;
from Boston, Buffalo, Chicago,
Philadelphia, Detroit. Pittsburgh,
and kindred cities. The thing has
been an overnight deluge. They
simply must see the Herr Doktor or
somebody will be sent to bed with
out his supper.
However, German OVertures ON
this matter were 50 wOrded that
the real burden of proof In pre-
serving PeltZer's status intact
must fall upon the A. A. u. The
latter today was displaying
distinct tendency to re.pass the
buck to its original designers.

JUDGE GETS MIXED UP

Columbus, O., July 2l R-A twentieth century comedy of er- TOTS with only one pair of twins, is being enacted in federal court here. And one pair Is plenty, de- clares Judge Benson W. Hough, who is trying to solve the puzzle.
 Clark and Mark O'Connor, twins if you ever saw any. were arrested on narcotic charges. They pleaded guilty before Judge Hough. One had already been in Jail 30 days awaiting trial and the other 60 days. So Judge Hough sentenced the for mer to 60 days and the latter to 30 days just to balance things.
 Then somebody-court attaches don't know who-told Judge Hough he had 1t the wrong way around and one lad was about to get 12o days and the other co. So the judge had the court records erased and the sentence switched. Then the sister of the twins came to court and said 1t was still twisted-that the judge had it right the first time.
 Now Clark-or maybe it's Mark is to be released because of a statute which prohibits lengthening of a sentence. And Mark-or perhaps it's Clark-probably will be freed because 1t wouldn't be fair to keep him in jail and let the other 20. That's the only solution, court at

Delegates representing 33 Polish American political organizations of this state will attend the semi-an- nual meeting of the Polish American Political Organization of Connecti- cut, which will be held Sunday, July 22 at Wallingford. Delegates from the New Britain club include Stan- ley Karpinski. Joseph Mlynarski, B. J. Monkiewicz. R. A Grzybowski, Stanley Traceski, Matthew Papciak and Stanley Gierymski.
 The state organization is part of the Polish-American Political Fed eration of New England, which is comprised of 94 political clubs, 4e from Massac achusetts. 33 from Con- necticut. 10 from Rhode Island, 6 from New Hampshire and from Maine, representing over 100, 900 voters of Polish extraction. The New Britain club has been largely instrumental in getting these clubs together and forming a feduation.
 The majority of the clubs being iSPuplANdl, anu CUHtFUlIlnk tO Il large extent the voters of Polish ex- traction In New England. it is be- ing predicted by the prominent members of the different clubs that the Polish-American citizens votes will without question so to Hoover during the national election next November.
