OFFICIALS OBJECT
 TO PADDOCK TOUR
Film and Lecture Enterprise Ar0uses UniaV0rable Comment

Los Angeles. May 9 R,-Murray Hubert, president of the Amateur Athletic Union, has directed the at- tention of the Southern Pacific As sociation. a division of that body, to Charles Paddock's film and lecture tour of the east.
 This was revealed today by Rob- ert S. Weaver, president of the S. r. A., who said that Hubert pointed out that the sprinter's actions have aroused much unfavorable comment, not only in the east, but also from international sources
 The action was taken by the A. A. L., president in connection with Paddocks picture, "The Olympic Hero" with which the dash man now is making personal appearances in the east. Weaver said Paddock was reported as intending to accept money covering his enterprises after status to which Hubert called at tention.
 "Hulbert sent me affidavts which show that Paddock does not receive any money for his appearances in this film," Weaver said. We must therefore give Charley the benefit of the doubt. having no proof one way or the other. Hubert declared that Paddocli's actions had caused much unfavorable comment abroad. particularly in view of what happen ed to Charley Hoff the Norwegian pole vaulter. (Hoff was declared a professional because he went on the stage.) Hubert also stated that some of Paddock's newspaper articles had created criticism"
 Weaver said that he had turned the affidavits over to Owen R. Bird, chairman of the registration com- mittee of the Southern Pacific Asso- citation. and that this organization would have to rule on Paddock's status after word had been received here from Dan Ferris, secretary of the national body

 New Haven, May 9-Louis (kid) Eaplan of Neriden left-handed his way to an easy victory over Georeie Day of this city in 10-round fight last night before a packed house which turned out to see the Arena A. C. card. There was never ques- ton as to the outcome from the opening gong when kaplan lashed out with his left and caught Day flush on the jaw. From that mo- buzzing in and singing him with his left, using the right only occasional ly for crushing blows to the body.
 Day was on his bicycle during the greater part of the fight as the Kid refused to allow his opponent to get set. In two rounds Day managed to poke the Meriden man several times on the jaw with his left but caused no damage.
 In spite of his defeat Day put up a game exhibition. 4 big parade of gloves marched monotonously up to Georgie's jaw but the New Haven boy took his punishment without flinching and waded in, or tried to wade in, for more. The Kids blows rocked him and shook him up but he stayed on his feet during the gruelling night and refused to quit
 As the bell rang to announce the end of the fourth round. kaplan had Day in Days corner popping him plenty on the chin and it seemed as if the New HaveEer was about to collapse. His head rocked back and forth under the upper slices of kap- lan's left. kaplan scented victory and tried to give Georgie the busi- nes but the gong intervened.
 In the fifth round Day changed his style and began to shoot long lefts at the Meriden mauler with such good results that kaplan was forced back on his heels, much to his surprise. This angered the Kid who crowded in as if bent on break ing Day to little pieces. The seventh was one of the best rounds from the spectators standpoint, the boys go- ing at each other with everything they had. When the bell sounded they had to be ripped apart.
 Day made the fans sit up in the ninth when he threw away caution and tried to take the wind out of the Kids sails. But it was only a furry and Denny McMahons pro- tege took everything that came in his direction and handed back a bushel of receipts.
 kaplan weighed 134 and Day 13212.
 Frankie Darro of Philadelphia substituted for Joe Trabon against Bobby Mays of New London in eight rounds. Mays was smarter than the Philadelphian and was given the verdict although the crowd howled and jeered Referee McAuliffe's deci- sion. Darro could take it and did. Mays long range work earned him d victory although his margin was not too large. Darro is a rugged lad but he was not clever enough for the New Londoner whose ninth round fusillade had the Philadel- phian bewildered.
 Tony Tessa of Stamford essayed to fight Pinky Kaufman of Hartford in a six rounder. The mockingales, or maybe it was the nightenbirds, twit- tered for Tony in the first round. Kaufman piled into him and in less than a minute Tony was dreaming of that dear Stamford and its quiet ness.
 Johnny Scalzi of Bridgeport roughed himself into a victory over Murray Fuchs of New York in six rounds. Many of the fans thought Fuchs should have been given the

 Thus far, the first east-west se- ries has served to bear out pre-sea- son predictions that the National league race of 1928 would develop into free for-all battle, involving SIX or more of the eight clubs.
 The New York Giants and Brook lyn Robins went into the west with A firm hold on first and second place, respectively, chiefly because of cut-t throat competition among the western teams. Today the Giants were still in first place al though sitting far from comfortably there, and the Dodgers had dropped 10 the fourth rung. Chicago. in sixth place, was only a game and q half behind the league leaders.
 All four eastern clubs were beaten yesterday.
 The Giants dropped a s to de- rision to Donie Bushs Pittsburgh Pirates. Burleigh Grimes, traded by the Giants for Vic Aldridge during the winter, chalked up his fourth victory in six starts, flaming seven the Clan McGraw. Dutch Henry was on the mound for the Giants and might have carried the verdict but for poor support. Freddie Lind Strom had bad day at third base, making two costly errors. George Grantham stole home in the second inning.
 The Cincinnati Reds took advan- tage of Ed Brandt's wldness to score a to 2 win over the Boston Braves. The Reds tallied four runs in the sixth on two hits and five passes. Hughie Critz had a busy day. making three hits one a homer, and handling eight chances in the field without a bobble.
 The Cubs ran their winning streak to four games by turning back the Robins, to 3, Percy Jones having the edge on Jess Petty in pitching duel. Kiki Cuy- Ter. injured hand and all, returned to the Cub lineup and drove in two runs.
 Six Philadelphia hurlers were subjected to a barrage of St. Louis hits and the cardinals won, 15 10 4. Highs homer with one on in the fifth was the high spot of the Cards batting attack. Neither Burt Shotton nor Bill Mckechnie, rival managers, were on the Sench Shotton is suffering from Influenza McKechnie from a three-day sus- pension.
 Over in the American league, the New York Yankees suffered thei! second shutout of the year as George Uhle pitched the Cleveland Indians to 3 10 o victory. lhle gave up four hits and completely silenced the bats of Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig Herb Pennock. proud owner of a five game winning streak, was on the short end for the first time this year although he pitched good ball.
 The Athletics moved up to with in two games of the leaders by nosing out the st. Louis Browns al Phila delphia, 1 to 8. Cobb scored the winning run in the seventh on Joe Hauser's safe hit Eddie Rom mel was hit hard but sharp fielding enabled him to register his first win of the campaign.
 A four-hit pitching masterpiece by Ed Morris carried the Boston Red Sox past the Chicago White SoN, j 10 1. and out Of the cellar. The SoX, losing their seventh straight game. dropped into last place.
 Marberry and Lisenbee Were pounded for r hits by the Detroit Tigers in Washington's ovcrwhelm- ing defeat at the capital, F 10 2. Bob Fothergill hit two triples q double and q single in five chances.

The plant life," Dr. Npman continues, "is composed chiefly of alsae and fungi-tiny forms know.
 "Protozoa can be classified as animals. They are largest and least numerous of all Mostly they are roughly globe-shaped. or like tiny eggs dented on one side. When they want to eat anything they fold themselves around it. like little living stomachs-which is about what they are"
 Protosoa uniceuar organisms are the vil. !ains of the soil cities eating millions and mil. lions of bacteria. algae and fungi
 Imagine a biz brute of . protosoan surround. ing and eating one of tho little bacteria, as a., octopus might seize and crush and est kittenI
 In an average soil population of, cay, fifty million. in . cubic inch of earth 1t is estimated that six or seven million may be alsae and fungi and allied forms and far smaller number pro. tozoa; The balance of forty-odd million are usually bacteria
 Different soil population races have some. what different functions. The duties of some of the bacteria are known; the exact functions of others are still unguessed.

 When you realize,' Dr. Lipman zoe. on to say. that there may be as much as two tons of nitrogen in m acre of fertile soil while nfertile soils may have less than quarter of ton the value of this nitrogen-fixng bacillus becomes evident.
