cratic figure and candidate of Post
master James A. Farley in the race
for his party's senatorial nomina-
tion in West Virginia, featured yes
terday's primaries in three states.
. Backing of the former Democratic
national chairman by Farley had
aroused interest in his candidacy
among those watching for the new
deal StrawS-in- the wind.
Rush D. Holt, Weston, appeared
to be Shaver's successful opponent.
No direct "new deal" test was
apparent, however, as Holt also
supported President Roosevelt IS
policies.
Other results appeared to be
about as expected. The other pri-
maries were in Missouri and Kan

The Missouri contest largely was
a test of strength between the

and Kansas City.

In an under-dogs' holiday. the
three leading teams of the Pacific
coast league were defeated by clubs
of lower ranking as the circuit
launched the seventh week of its

crowded today with Hollywood and
the San Francisco Seals pulling a
game closer to the pace-setting
Los Angeles team and the second
place Seattle Indians and Mission
Reds. The margin between the
runners-up and the fourth placerS
now is three games.
The Seals snapped out of their
slump momentarily to defeat the
Angels, 7-5, in the only day game
yesterday.

the box, downed the Missions, 6-2

local fights, three of which have
not yet been fulfilled. The original

NEW YORK, Aug. e. - Persons
of an investigative turn of mind
who interest themselves in red-hot
mysteries are invited to take up the
cases of Jimmy Jordan IS lumbago
and Wilmer Allison IS trip to Eng
land.
In order of Importance, although
certainly not in order of mySter-
iousneSS, Mr.. Allison's case comes
first. Mr.. Allison, it will be re-
called, made hurry-up trip to
England to help out the American
Davis cup team. He made hurry
up trip back on the same boat
without having biffed a ball, and
was quite peeved over the whole al
fair
The question is: Who asked AL
lison over? Dick Williams, the nom
playing captain said George Lott
did. Lott, home from England yes
terday, says he didn It. Mr.. Alli-
son seems to have been an orphan.
For the benefit of those who
wish to investigate this business,
the following suspicious are sug-
gested: Cd Broadway Jack Doyle;
90 Roper Barret, the playing
captain of the British cup team;
90 Tillie Loesch; "a Mussolini.
The case of Jimmy Jordan IS lum-
bago is more intriguing. Mr.. Jor'
dan plays for the Brooklyn Dodg-
ers, when he plays at all. He is
utility infielder. Five days ago Mr.
Jordan mysteriously disappeared.
Disappearance of ball players
are not uncommon in Brooklyn
There was the case of Flint Rhem
Mr.. Rhem was a pitcher for the
st. Louis Cards a few years ago
and the Cards were coming tC
Brooklyn for an important series
an event that will be recalled with
considerable awe in FlatbuSh.
Taken By Hijackers
Mr.. Rhem was to pitch the first
! game, but did not show up. Later
it turned out Mr.. Rhem had beer
| hijacked, or abducted, and taken
up into the wildS Of the Bronx by
uncrupulous bettors who forceably
fed Mr.. Rhem rye highballs until
he couldn It tell knuckle ball from,

vate cars, however. were not halted

transportation OF gasoline in other than
the original container or specially
built trucks made for that purpose.
Under the law, motorists are forbid
den carrying cans or improvised con-
tainers of gasoline in their cars, and
are permitted only to I'LL their regular
fuel tanks.
Policemen on duty said they had
no instructions today to search for
such cortraband. but large number
Of cars bearing Virginia license plates
were halted because they bore no in
spection slip. The period for inspec-
ton Of automobiles expired yesterday
and large number of motorists were
summoned to appear at Arlington
Court House for their failure to comply.
Arlington Bridge Unchecked.
The officers were stationed at High
way, Key and Chain Bridges. One
official explained the Arlington Me-
mortal Bridge is not being checked
because no trucks are allowed to cross

A group Of organized independent
dealers continued their efforts to bring
about peace in the local price situa-
ton, but found themselves able to
accomplish little since the prices set
by the larger distributors are dictated
