 Oleynik confirmed Krashenniini- kov's story. Thornton. who had made a blanket denial of all charges and ,clung to it through long hours of questioning. listened 1ntently. Prosecutor Andrew Vish- 1nsky turned to him.
 "You, of course. deny this?" he asked.
 "Of course, I deny it," Thornton snapped.
 The prisoners in their enclosure, guarded by two soldiers with bay onetted rifles. looked for the most part like bored spectators at a dull performance, with hardly q flicker of excitement showing in their faces.

NEW YORK, July 18.-Tied for
first place in the American league
race, the New York Yankees and
Washington Senators were expect
ed to launch determined drives to-
day for lead that might pave the
way to the pennant.
Both clubs are playing at home,
with the Yanks again meeting the
aSt-stepping Chicago White Sox,
and the Senators continuing their
series against their old jinX club,
the st. Louis Browns.
With New York on the rebound,
and Washington in a slump, the
Yanks might appear favorites to
lead. The old guard-Ruth, Gehrig,
Lazzeri and Sewell - is rallying;
Yankee pitching is improving, and
eight straight victories have been
clicked off.
However, the penant race may
not be so simple. The Yanks, one
of the poorest New York road
terms in years, must play about one
third of their remaining games
away from home.
The Senators probably were play
ing over their heads while winning
81 out of 80 games during their
sensational squirt. They boosted the

CUBS NOT OUT
Of RACE YET

CHICAGO, July ls. U.P-The
more you look into the Chicago
Cubs situation, the more dangerous
the 1892 champions apoear.
They're still three and a half
games behind the Giants, although
each team has won the same num-
Der of games, 48 The Cubs have
played seven more games and lost
them all a big handicap, but if
you 80 back into the history of the
Cubs youn find they do their best
when the odds are greatest against
them.
II you'll examine the pitching
records you'll find conclusive proof
that the Cubs are in the race to
stay.
In the last 10 games the five
starting pitchers have walked only
nine batters in 81 innings, while
the entire staff has walked only II
in 80 innings. In three games not
pass was issued, in five of them
only one man walked.
Another important item in the
Cubs comeback is the fact that
they have played only one game
this year with their 1892 champion
ship cast complete. In the 8Sth
game Sunday the Cubs presented
their full strength for the first time
this season.
At one time or another Kiki Guy
Ter, Riggs Stephenson, Woody Eng
lish or Manager Charlie Grimm
were on the shelf with injuries.
But perhaps the most import
ant factor of all in the Cubs chan
ces is that they are at home prac-
tically the entire month of Sep
tember. If the race is close, when
the eastern clubs swing through
the west in the home stretch, the
Cubs are likely to be the ''pay-off'
club.

young man in white shorts and
smelling strongly of horse liniment
will establish new worlds record
of e:00.0 for the mile run. In 9TH

will call Mathew for short, will
cover the eight furlong route i'll

There Will be the usual black
faced streamerS on the sports pages
proclaiming the feat, and the usual
interview with Matthew in which
he will express pleasure at mis- time
and point out that but for the pres
ence of a slight head wind he would
nave done even better.
II was a little worried with my
time at the first quarter" Matthew
will say. Il was pocKeted at the
first turn and this, coupled With
my slow start, made me wonder II
I could break the record"
Matthew's feat will stir up the
usual timing arguments. AS the
race will be ru nj nthe east prob
ably Sandwich, on Cape Cod, the
west coast critics will deride the
mark, pointing out that when jug
Hightower (Stanford's crack miler)
ran his 0:001 mile he was timed by
the radio-telephone-robot, whereas
Matthews judges used the old-fash-
ioned split atomic relativity : cell
watch.
The argument will rage for
months. 1t will be settled, however,
when the sponsors of the inter-
national track and field carnival
at Chicago offer Matthew $3.50 and
expenses (the highest bid ever
made to an amateup to run in the
meet. and jug only $500.
Lest some readers proclaim us
batty for predicting a 0:000 mile
perhaps we should explain that our
prophecy is based on mathematics

delight in calling it.

WHITTIER To
MEET LOCALS

Considered as probably the best
team ever to make its appearance
in the county. the Whittier stars
will meet the local All Stars on
Wilson field tomorrow night. This
game ought to be the best played
on the local field this season.
The visitors are favoriteS to win,
due mainly to the prowess of Paul
Watson their star pitcher who has
been setting the opposition down
in regular order in the National
night ball league where he struts
his stuff. Watson is no stranger
in these parts as he defeated the
locals last year to win the San
Diego county, Imperial county
and Arizona state championships
for the Yuma team against the
best the valley had to offer.
Dope gathered from the Whittier
papers shows that Watson has won
four straight contests, taking the
teams from Santa Ana, Anaheim,
Huntington Beach and Terrence
into camp in order. In the Santa
Ana contest the Whittier team
turned in a triple play. They are
not depending merely on the
pitching of Watson to win tomor-
row nights game for them as the
Whittier team is known as an air.
