TWO CHAMPIONS ARE SUSPENDED
Mlrtba Nortlius and Hdta
 Meaney Feel Hand of Officials

New York. June 13 0eThs heavy hand of the Amateur Athletic union has fallen on two more Olym- pic champions, Martha Norelius and Helen Meany.
 Found guilty of giving unauthor- ized exhibitions with professional. Miss Norelius was indefinitely sus- pended and Miss Meany declared ineligible to compete as an anla- teur" by the registration committee of the A. A. U. yesterday. It was the same body which. in February, set down Ray Rarbuti. Olympic aot- meter chs mpion. after he had charged that officials Of track meets had paid excess expense money to star performers
 In announcing it's decision. the committee ruled that Miss Norelius. 400 mete- free style swimming champion at the last Olympics. must give up all prizes she won at the National Women's championship ct Chicago. She had been permitted 10 compete in that event, the commit tee said, pending investigation of the charges against her and with the distinct understanding that in the event of an adverse ruling she should return any prizes she might win.
 The committee held that Miss Meany, Olympic low-board diving titleholder, had been guilty of such frequent and continuous violations of A. 4. L. rules as to render her ineligible to compete as an amateur athlete"
 Specifically the committee charged Miss Norelius with appearing in an unauthorized exhibition with prcfes- sionals at Miami. Fla, Jan. o7 of this year and at other times ani places.
 The charges against Miss Meany were similar in character.

 Brooklyn, June 12 R-Gink and Babe, q pair of six footers whc usually slam something when they swing. are shooting strong compe. tition at some of the National League celebrities trying for . place among the elite of swat.
 What they do in the field is an other matter.
 Babe is listed in the box score as Herman-Floyd Herman. Gink'a box score identification is Hendrtck. His front name is Harvey.
 Rating second and third in Ma. tional league batting at one time re- gently, Gink and Babe have been smoking swatting trail that scorches many who try to follow. Babe was hitting .3sO and his cagy teammate, 3S4.
 Last year when their fielding was no worse than it is today. Gink and Babe trailed the league. Gink's third base average was .sl3. Babe's outfield mark was .937.
 After seeing Hendrick field and throw baseball you would know why he drew Gtnk as a nickname. And his fellow slusger deserves nothing better as a fielding moni. ker.
 They have no equals in the ma jors. Babes muffs of easy fly bulls are classics. He can get right under fly with not an obtacle in his way and then muh :t-perfectly. he did his act twice in . recent game in Chicago.
 Gink admits no inferiority to the Babe in fielding. Grounders he reaches for frequently bounce against his chest. His pegs reach greater heights of imperfection.
 These cratic young sluggers probably are victims of circum- stance. Babe originally was . first baseman. Brooklyn had a first base man; Babe couldn't be kept on the bench for lack Of place to play, 80 they sent him to right field.
 Gink grew up as fly chase, and came 10 Brooklyn to get the same deal that Babe got. Gink was crowded out of the outeicld. H." drew third base until Wally Gilbert arrived. Then this season he sub. stituted at first in Dissonette's ab- st nee.

 The first break came in the fourth when Jaglowski shot . hard drive to right field which should have been held to . single. Instead of this Peterson came in too fast and the ball bounced over his head and went for . home run.
 In the following inning. Joe Jas per hit an easy fly to Williams but the latter misjudged it and 1t went over his head for another home run.

CHIP SHOTS
BY JICGER.

nI 01NNEu. When Carl Fl. Baldwin holed his tee shot on the 135 yard 18th hole at Shuttle Meadow last Thursday. he achieved an ambition cherished by every golfer. Attaining membership lin the hole-in- one club. that elusive and exclusive association of the fol- lowers of the royal game, provides the lucky one with more of | thrill than making course in par. The ace club is not quite as exclu- sive as it was, but that in no wise detracts from the honor of holins out from the tee. With three million active golfers playing the game in America and only 11s holes-in-one reported for last year, the yearly class of initiates does not make the club too crowded to be rated as commonplace.
 h Mir. Raldwin's case. his ace ad- mits him to the inner circles of the organization for his was made in a tournament. He was playing in the Connecticut Senior Golf association event when he shot his ono. He ioined on the same basis as did Hor- ton Smith. who last fall. won his first important open in Oklahoma with one in a tournament. Five other players in 1928. carded single tens in tournament play.
 GolfinE honors are now divided in the Baldwin family. Carl's brother Ernest, in his career on the links, has two holes-in-one to his credit. Unfortunately. country clubs do not keen accurate records of aces 20 it is difficult to say how many local ~o'fers have putted out from the tee.
 II iS recalled that A. r. Porter at Shuttle Meadow. lack Vance scored an ac, 2. Highland some years back and Heath Bartow sank Dunlop from one of the tees at Goodwin Park.
 If other local golfers who have played a one shotter. will drop | line to the Herald. the list will be published. Let's see whom Lady Luck has favored in this manner.
 We played golf last summer with a pro who admitted that since 1925 he had scored 10 aces. Perhaps his played him tricks but it is recorded and attested that Tom Washington. professional at Monn- monock Inn in New Jersey. has 21 holes-in-one nctchcd on his war clubs.
 Tine worst ca!a nifty we can thinl. of in golf would be to score one on a hole when cut pra cticinx alone. with TO one 10 ate st the shot. The nearest we ever came to ma'.in1 the perfect single shot was under such conditions.
New Britain herald., 1929-06-12

before the inning was over . tripls by lasuda and double by 6uliick gave them another counter to bring the team within two runs of ti4ins the score.
 Some more poor fielding coupled with two hits gave the winners three more in the ninth and tho Paper Goods outfit was unable to score In their turn at bat in this frame.
 The summary
