we endeavor to raise money for our

the good Will OF our local merchants
Is Of far greater importance to US than
any sum of money, large or small,
which we might realize from a plan
which antagonizsd them and calls forth
a written criticism.
Therefore, on the 9th day of May,
the Junior League. by popular vote, de-
cided to abolish this former policy and
give up entirely out-of-town CONNER
cial exhibits. We will seek other meth
ods of raising money, and will bank
heavily upon the friendship and con-
fidence of our local merchants to aid
us In carrying on our splendid work
for local charities and hospitals and
among the unemployed. And we trust
that, in this definite action in answer
to their letter, we are indeed living up
to the title we so proudly bear--the

GOT THE GOODsp

European officials of the In- ternational Amateur Athletic Fed eration felt that they had the goods on Nuumis transforming tour of Germany last year. The evidence they obtained, charging Nurmi received substantial sums in excess of expense allowances, was conclusive enough to convince the leader of the Americans, Av- cry Brundage, that the Finnish runner was guilty.
 Back of the whole proceeding, however, is long story of Euro pean athletic jealousies and an- tagonisms. The suspension of Nur- mi last April, pending trial, and his subsequent disbarment just be- fore the Olympics represented merely an outstanding incident in the long standing feud in which the Films have been arrayed against other Europeon athletic powers.

DIAMONDBALL ACE TURNS
 IN TWO HITLESS GAMES

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla, Aug. 13.-The diamondball fans have a hero here now in Bullet" Moore.
 Time was when a diamondball pitcher who hurled a hitless game was 50 rare as to be almost un- heard of, but young Moore has two perfect games to his credit this season, both won in succeed ing weeks.
 He is the first St. Petersburg pitcher to hurl a no-hit game, and his second victory makes record that is likely to stand for some time to come.

t,-5SPORIA, |:SLANTS,|| s:: ss;= By ALAN eo.AD :!

The disbarment of Paavo Nur- mi bfnom the Olympics, although foresiadowed,F ' nevertheless dealt severe blow to the games, the gate receipts and the hopes of the Flying" Finn for a marathon vic- tory in his fourth Olympiad.
 Many of the cash customers in Los Angeles were interested main- ly inaseeing Nurni for the first time. They looked on his as Q permanent Olympic attraction, much as baseball fans regard Babe Ruth. It was a shock, therefore, to thousands of ticket holders to find out, just before the games, that one of the chief actors was removed from the all-star show.
 As it turned out, there was really no chance at any time that Nurmi would be reinstated for the Clympics. Although the country men fought to the last against heavy political odds and Paavo himself trained faithfully.

FINS SEE PLOT

The Films have felt other coun- tries, especially Sweden, eyed the world famous feats of Nurmi and other Finnish athletes with jeal- ousy. In turn, the Swedes sus- pected their neigffbors were not above 6 measure of commercialiSm, if not outright professionalism, in the extent of the ventures made by their stars.
 AS far back as 1925, when Nur- mi toured the United States, Amer ican authorities suspected things were not just as they might be, But Nurmi was packing 'em in" clubs were collecting bigger gates" shan ever they had dreamed Of, because of the Finn's tremendous drawing powers and there was no proof that Nurmi was getting "cut" of the profits.
 As the Films see it, Nurmi now has pfen made the "goat" in be- lated attempt to check semi-pro- fessionalism. They assert the ath- letic system, not an individual suc.i as Paavo, is to blame for condi- tions that have been due to the desire of clubs always to get the big attyaction and make com- mercial success of track meets. It is, in a. way, similar to the "over- which afflicted Ameri- can. intercollegiate football and

bags but couldn't score. Junge, first man up in the series, sim gled. Manning forced him at sec- ond, Grummett to S. Baker. Big Mac singled to left, sending Man ming to second Boyd flew out to Erskine in center. McCloskey hit to second and was. safe when Haines dropped Bakers peg and the bases were tipsy. Schmitz forced Andrews to pop-up near the plate and Blake snuffed out the rally by spearing the ball..
 After the first the Elks only got one hit off Jack and but four men reached first where they died With two away, D. Baker singled between first and second in the second inning Boyd reached first In the third when s. Baker missed his scorching grounder near second. Manning walked in the fifth and ID. Baker in the seventh.
 Garn Gets Three-Bagger
 With two out in the third, Garn tripled down left field foul line and only Orme's fast fielding and quick return of the ball held him on the hot corner It was hard hit ball and ordinarily would have been good for the circuit. It wasn't costly, however, as Frs kline famed out. In the fourth, Orme again turned in a fast play. Worth, leadoff, smashed a hit well back into Baldwin's yard. Orme raced across the walk and picked up the ball almost as soon as it crashed through a tree and hit the ground. Worth was held to two bases. Haines drove short low fly to left that Orme caught on q dead run, robbing Tom of an almost certain safety. J. Schmitz walked but Grummett famed and Blake bounced a roller to Junge and was tossed out at first.

VETERANS TAKE FIRST GAME OF
 LEAGUE SERIES
Exsoldiers Win from Elks 2 to 0 by Break in
 Very First Inning

Taking advantage of a break in the very first inning to score two runs that proved to be the only 1.-two Of the entire game, the Amer ican Legion last night jumped away to a lead in the Little World s Series by defeating the Elks 2 to 0. It was a pitchers battle between Jack Schmitz and Ken IKunge with the honors split on an even basis.
 Neither yielded an earned run Each was nicked for three hits, Schmitz walked and famed two each, and Junge walked 3 and struck out 6.
 Rollers Error Costly
 A hit sandwiched between a cou- pie Of free trips to first base, Followed by an infield error pre- sentei the game to the Vets on la silver platter. Bill Schmitz poppei out to Andrews back of first, to start the game for the exsoldiers. Garn waited Junge out for ! pass. Erskine singled to cen- ter and Garn didn't stop until he landed on third base, beating the throw standing up. Claud went to second on the throw-in. Junge worked too hard on Worth and passed him to fill the bases.
 Then came the break that gave the game to the Legionnaires. Tom Hain.s, who played despite very sore leg, hit an easy grounder to Role, who carromed it over his head to short left field s.nd Garn and E-ski.e raced across the plate.
 Get Freak Double
 And before the play ended the Elks had retired the side, doubling up Worth and Haines. Worth had played safe by holding second. Haines, apparently thinking George had zone on to third, headed for second as Orme threw for the plate. Junge trapped the throw and cIt in back of Haines. Worth then started for third and was run cown on the baseline, Big Mac getting the putout. Mac then shot the ball to Andrews and IIaines was caught before he could get back to first.
 The Elks got two of their three hits-all of which were singles in the first inning and filled the

900 in bonds of a firm given a
city contract.
Letter of Credit
He improperly acted to OBJ

moters, a credit he later over
drew by $4,000.

deposited in the name of
Russell T. Sherwood and
aggregating nearly $1,000,000,

WALKER ISSUE
f. IN ROOSEVELT
i CAMPAIGN

NEW YORK, June 9 Q.N.S0 q.
The case against Mayor James
j. walker, formally tossed into
the lap of Gov. Franklin D.
Roosevelt by Samuel Seabury,
who climaxed a series OF con
clusions" with the declaration
that Walkers conduct rendered
him unfit to continue in the
office of mayor" today became a
major issue in the national politl-
cal arena.
For N submitting to the Gov
ernor the transcript of the teSti-
mony relating to the mayor be-
fore the Hofstadter legislative com
mittee, Seabury. its chief counsel,
in an accompanying letter put the
issue of removing Walker from
office squarely up to the governor.
Will Affect Campaign
He wrote:
From the record submitted
and after hearing. you can de-
termine whether the public in
tereSts and the maintenance Of
decent standards among public
officials require that the Hon.
James J. Walker should be re-
moved from the office Of
mayor"
Because of the political ramifi'
cations involved in whatever
course the governor decides to
adopt, the matter was likely to af.
feet his chances for the Demo.
cratic nomination for President.
Malfeasance and nonfeasance
"in disregard Of his office as
mayor" was charged against
Walker in a summary of an
analysis by Seabury of the COM
mittee hearings relating to
Walker.
Is Charges Filed
Fifteen specifications were
made against the mayor, includ.
ing the assertion he failed to
explain the source of his income
except by "the same principle as
the tin box alibi:" that he did
fiscal transactions through using
the account of his. agent, Russell
T. Sherwood, and that he held
$4,000 in bonds of firm which
received a city charter, thus vic.
lating the city charter.
Improper actions in connection
with the Equitable Bus Company
franchise and acceptances of
"beneficences" from private per-
sons. also were attributed to the
mayor.
