HARMONY RE|GNS
At OLYMPIC CAMP
SquabbIe Over Associate

Hv tie Associated Press.

~ LYMPIC VILLAGE, Berlin.
I July 25.-While the banished
\ swimming star, Mrs. Eleanor
~ Holm Jarrett, remained in
her Berlin hotel hoping her fearful
appeals and the weight Of teammates
and public opinion would bring her
reinstatement, American Olympic Of
ficials arranged final intensive prac-
tice sessions before the opening of the
games next Saturday.
One source of possible discord was
removed when Ellison (Tarzan) Brown,
the marathon runner from Alton. r.
l., abandoned his one-man rebellion
against the barring of his coach, Jack
Harrington, from the Olympic Village.
Harrington is one of the association
track coaches, who have no official
standing with the team, who are pay
ing their own expenses and are not
permitted to enter the village except
as visitors.
Another is Larry Snyder. who is
grooming Jesse Owens for the hoped

ut. LOUIS, July 25.-Base balls
- multitudinous anomalies must
be . great part Of the secret of
. the national pastime's success.
All season followers of the Nationals
have decried the Washington ball
clubs seeming inability to cope with
first division teams. To the Yankees
they have dropped 9 out Of II games.
Cleveland has won Q Of 13. The
White Sox have grabbed IL Of II.
The mark Of a good ball team, so
1t Is said, is its ability to whip other
high-class teams Ostensibly, the
Nationals cannot do it, or a. least
they have failed to show they can.
Looking back over the campaign you
find that Washington has beaten the
last-place Athletics 10 times in IL
games and have taken II of IA con-
tests with the seventh-place st. Louis
Browns.
In other words, 22 of Wash
ington's A. victories this year
have been achieved at the ex-
pense of the American Leagues
tail-end outfits.
Yet the Browns, who rolled over
and played dead before the Bucks
again yesterday, provide an anomaly.
Rogers Hornsby can't pilot his club
to victory over a team like Wash
ington, for instance. but at least two
Of the leagues better clubs-Detroit
and New York-prefer to do their
ball playing against other foemen
than the Browns.
Nobody will argue that St Louis Is
a better ball team than Washington,
but the Browns have won z of II
games from the Yankees and they
show a 6-to-5 edge over the world
champion Tigers for the year.
1t doesn't add up but it's part
Of base ball, where the differ
ence between home run ard

The temperature in ST. Louis yester-
day at 6 pm was 100 in the shade of

clare they don't feel the terrific heat
in ST. Louis as much as the recent heat
wave that swept Washington . Here
it is a dry sort Of heat, lacking the

Monte Weaver. the Griff's pitching
hero of the last couple weeks, was paid
an unusual tribute today when Man
ager Bucky Harris gave him complete
day off.
Pitchers usually put on a uni
form and work out the day after

Of mischief.
Monte, however, has dropped so
much weight from his recent activities
and is SO wrapped up in base ball
alone that Harris okayed Trainer Mike

main with the team in the village.

consult Harrington at any time and
take advice solely from his own

that body had recommended that all

mittee.
They weren't given the run-around,

said.

about their makeup. The mems 400

include Sam Stroller of Cincinnati,

A Word for Jarrett.

ELEANOR HOLM JARRETTS dis
missal from the United States
Olympic team has provided fodder
for an argument that seemingly is as
strong for the good looking back
stroke champ as it is for such
righteous and high-sounding princi-
Piles as the morale of the team, etc.
Eleanor never has pretended to get
eight hours sleep night, stick to
her spinach and milk, and spend half
her life in pool. She likes a glass
of champagne now and then, and her
cigarettes. The vices failed COM
pletely to keep her from being the
worlds outstanding back-stroke SWIM
mer.
Some athletes can dissipate
and still excel. In a way 1t
marks them as greater than the
star who must train religiously.
Eleanor got little fun out of
life and yet did not throw her
team down once the bell rang.
Babe Ruth was no model of temper
ance when he was breaking base ball
records. The Babe liked to imbibe
after ball game and yet Jake Rupert
saw fit to pay him the biggest salary
in the history of base ball.
Grover Cleveland Alexander scarcely
qualified for a position as Y. M. C. A.
secretary, but he lived to establish
himself as one of the greatest pitchers
In the game.

Series, when, bedeviled by .

Small Crowd Sees Thriller.

BECAUSE of intermittent announce
ments that the game would be
postponed, and a last-minute decision
to play it after all at Fort Myer in
stead of Potomac Park field, there was
a small gallery on hand for the match,
one Of the best so far this season.
Such crowd as there was, however,
stayed in a constant uproar during
the final minutes, when the count
stood at I'LL and it looked like any,
body's game, as indeed it was until
Lieut.. Bruce Scott picked up pass
in front of his goal and slipped it
through the pylons with an easy tap,
thereby ending what promised to be-
come an extra-period battle.
The match not only was close, filled
with tense duels and exciting as all
reversals of form are. 1t also pro-
vided a series of spills that sent the
ringside blood pressure soaring. al
though none of the riders was hurt.
All three of the falls involved Fort
Hoyle players-Lieut. Col. Joe Swing
in the third period, Maj. c. S. Ferren
in the same chukker, and Lieut.. T. l..
Crystal in the fifth-and in each case
the tumbles were due to the slippery

LcaQlnS Qulct LHc.
WHILE the debate ragged over her
fate and her former teammates
prepared to resume training this morn
ing, Mrs. Jarrett planned to seek a
workout in the nearest available pool
in the city. She Stunned all invita-
tions to see Berlin's night life last
night, went to a movie with Catherine
Roche, the New York nurse who was
assigned as her chaperone, returned to
her hotel and went to bed at $50,
steering shy Of score of interviewers
and camera men who besieged the
hotel.
Friends said her one hope is to re-
gain her place on the team. Although
baked thus far in all attempts to sway
the committeeman and alter the
gloomy outlook, she is emphatically de-
termined to show she can keep her
chin up and resist any temptation to
spoil whatever prospects remain Of
saving something from the wreckage
Of her well-grounded hopes to become
Q two-time Olympic champion.
Says She's Learned Lesson"
IT KNOW I've deserved punishment,
but If they will just concede me
one more chance to prove have
learned my lesson I will show I can
come back" she said.
II have no hard feeling against the
members of the committee. I appre-
ciate now what didn't before-they
had to refuse to play favorites or to
make exceptions to discipline. I'll
never take another drink, the way ]
feel now. They can keep me under
lock and key If they will only let me
try to show am serious about want
ing to redeem myself"
Mrs. Jarrett refused all telephone
calls yesterday, including repeated at
tempts by Charles Macarthur to reach
her from London. Macarthur, who left
the Manhattan at Plymouth with his
wife, Helen Hayes, was conspicuous in
Mrs. Jarrett's company during the gay
shipboard party which led to the swim
mer's first fall from official grace.
Athletes Criticise Officials.
WHILE Mrs. Jarrett refrained from
w adding further to the converse
tional conflict waged within and with
out the ofhcial family, her friends
showed no reluctance to level criticism
at American authorities. One athlete
remarked:
"She deserves punishment for hel
misbehavior, but many of us feel now
that she is being made the goat fol
other, but less conspicuous, offend
ers against disciplinary orders and
training rules.
Lawson Robertson, head coach OF
the mems track and field team, came
to the swimmers support by saying,
mrs. Jarrett is getting rough deal.
Dean Cromwell, University Of South
ern California track coach, gave the
contrary opinion:
"She asked for 1t. In fact, she
begged for 1t. II it had been Just
one time it would have been different,
but it had been going on for week.

Unfortunately. there seems to be no

lips with champagne during the late
watch. She had the grace to plead for
another chance at redemption, but
pleading cannot wipe out so desperate
a crime as hers. Brother Brundage
bore the shock bravely. and said:

Your heart goes out to this
man in his hour of martyrdom.
1t must be q terrible thing to
have to do your duty in such

has proved often enough, that she can
drink champagne and still swim q

Brother Brundage could have minded

THE Red Sox are making trouble
again, now that Foxx is back on
the firing line and out of his hitting
doldrums. Like just about every other
club in the bigtime, the Sox have a
spark-plug-and Jimmy Is it. Since
he's recovered his batting eye, the
whole outfit Is right, and has won
seven of the last IL games. The Sox
weren't in the game at all yesterday
until Jolting Jimmy started them of
with his homer in the eighth. Then
they went to town, tied it up in the
ninth and pushed over three runs in
the extra frame.
The % hits against the Athletics
comprised the Indians largest total
in one game for the season. Earl
Averill, Hal Trosky and the sensa-
tional Roy Weatherly have their eye
on the long distance hitting record.
Averill stretched his consecutive-game
batting streak to 10 yesterday, while
Trosky boosted his to 18 and Weather
