Jarrett, Jewish Sprinters kick"

Jarrett, Jewish Sprinters Kick"
Dusk settled down not only on
the weary decathloners, but also on
another rip-roaring Olympic day in
which assorted developments included
Finland's domination of the obstacle
race and the latest Jarrett case" de-
velopment whereby Avery Brundage,
president of the American Olympic
Committee and also the A. A. u, ruled
out the former backstroke queen,
Eleanor Holm Jarrett, as an amateur,
at least while she's abroad.
Also there were repercussions over
the omission of two Jewish boys, Marty
Glickman and Sam Stoller, from
Americas 400-meter sprint relay team.
Controversial echoes rocked the
press box all day while experts strug-
eled with an endless stream OF
decathlon tabulations.
Mrs. Jarrett challenged Brundages
authority to order her disbarred with
out a hearing, while Glickman charged
the track coaches with politics" in
khunting him and Stoller to the side
lines without q chance to appear in
the games.
Head Coach Lawson Robertson vol
unfairly took the rap for deciding to
nut the best available quartet into the
sprint relay in order to insure triumph.
The head coach viewed the world
record-equaling performance in the
trials by Owens, Ralph Metcalfe, Foy
Draper and Frank Wykoff the best an
syer to his critics besides denying
sharply that even slightest prejudice
was involved.

FARLEY-D0RE
ALLIANCE SEEN
ON COAST

SEATTLE, Wash, Oct. %
Revelation at a maritime meeting
here that Mayer John F. Dore
radical, swaShbuckling chief exc,
cutive Of Seattle, is in close con.
tact with Jim Farley in the New
Deal campaign in western Wash
ington, was reverbarting through
political circles here today.
Meanwhile offers of aid and re.
quests for memberships were pour
ing in upon the militant women
Of washington whose great mass
meeting here yesterday was the
hardest blow struck at Seattle
racketeering in many years.
At the meeting of $500 mari
time workers, Mayor Dore pleaded
Don't let them make a fool out
Of me-" The mayor, who has been
closely identified with Dave Beck,
Transfers Union czar, in a politi-
cal-labor machine that is the
Spearhead of the New Deal cam,
paign here, was the special object
of wrath of the women for his
reckless public statements. Dore
told the Maritime workers:
II had a long distance tele-
phone conversation with Jim
Farley the other day and 1
wrote a letter in response to his
request. In that letter / told
him, and you may put it down
as . proven fact, that no ship
owner on the Pacific will vote
for Franklin d. Roosevelt.
"And you can add to that,
next, that there is not a banker
that is going to vote for him.
And there are very few lawyers
and very few doctors that are
going to vote for him. I said
the only people that are going
to vote for him and people that
are going to elect him will be
the wage earnerS, both organ,
lied and unOrganized, and I am
going to tell you that this State
will carry Roosevelt four or five
times to one"

% G.NSO Comdr. Sir Edgar
Theophilus Britten, commodore of
the White Star-Cunard Line, vet
eran of the seas since the days of
sailing ships and skipper of the
giant liner Queen Mary, died at a
nursing home here today from an

CAMERON HELD
AUT0V|CT|M

RICHMOND, Oct. %. After
three days investigation, State po-
lice today declared they believe
the death of Hervey E. Cameron,
former secretary to Senator Harry
F. Byrd. was. the result of being
struck by a hit-run driver.
At the same time Capt. H. B.
Nicholas, superintendent of State
police, announced that his inves-
tigators were still working on the
case in an effort to determine if
Cameron was beaten and then
hurled from a speeding car.
Cameron was found unconscious
by the side of the highway several
miles north of here last Sunday
and died at Richmond Hospital
without regaining consciousness.
County authorities expressed
the belief that he had been MUIR
dered, pointing to a long wound
on the abdomen which apparently
was inflicted by knife, and other
injuries which indicated he had
been subjected to terrific beat
ing.

 but many new events have marked
 the passing of the months also. The Auxiliary has continued to cooper

 the sale of leather goods and bas- kets made by the disabled veterans. The Junior Auxiliary has carried on fine work also, and under the capa- ble leadership of Mrs Lucille Stone house has carried out a number of interesting and successful projects. A series of bridge luncheons held during the spring proved to be de- lghtful social events, and helped boost the treasury. Six dozen silver knives and forks were purchased by the Auxiliary for their dining room equipment, and these added to the spoons previously acquired, now constitute splendid silver equip ment. The Auxiliary also sponsored a very successful rummage sale dur

Among its money making events of 1924 was the operation of a booth at the Southeastern Alaska Fair, from which a substantial sum was added to the unit treasury.

Additional gifts for hospitalized veterans included this year a sew ing machine for the hospital at Am erican Lake, where the hospital mending could be done, and gen. erous supply of Christmas Tree or naments, for the same hospital.
 Mrs. Policy was unanimously re- elected 10 serve the year of 1925 and the fine program of work be- gun under her leadership was con- tinued. The presentation of the moving picture The Lost Battal- ion' was feature of the work dur ing the early part of this year, and proved to be extremely successful. A further contribution to the vet erans hospital this year was the ser vices of woman, one day each week, to do the hospital mending at American Lake. Miss Ducey again represented the unit in the depart ment convention, which was held in Fairbanks this year. A substantial contribution toward swimming pool fund for veterans at the hos pital at Palo Alto, California, was an added piece of valuable work performed by the unit this year, which carried out as usual the an- nual projects begun in previous years
 Mrs. H. w.

 BY MRS. OLSON
Mrs. Robert Simpson First President, Legion Aux
 Hilary in Juneau
BY MRS. OSCAR OLSON Historian Juneau Unit

The Auxiliary Unit of Afford John Bradford Post No. was or ganized early in March 1922 with a large and enthusiastic membership, and during the fourteen years of its existence has become one of the most potent forces in the commun- .ity. Mrs Robert Simpson was its first President, and it's charter membership roll contains the names of many of the towns best known pioneer families.
 One of the first pieces of work carried out by the new organiza- ton was the establishment of the custom of having an annual May Day Dance. With variations accord ing to the different years in which it has been held that is still regu- lar feature of the units work in Juneau. The first spring also saw the units participation in the first local Poppy Sale, another feature .cf work that has been carried on through the years, with outstanding success.
 The following year, in 1923, the unit became member of the newly organized Department of Alaska, and Mrs. c. J. Skuse, who had been prominent in the work of the local auxiliary became the Departments first President, journeying to An- chCrage that spring, where she pre- sided at the first Department con- yention.
 ' During the year of 1923 the unit became interested in hospitaliza ton work also, and that year contribut- ed the sum of S150 for the purchase of two wheel chairs which it donat- ed to the Veterans Hospital in Port land. Another achievement of this

this year was Mrs. Saxton, nation al Vice President of the Western Federation, who was entertained during her visit in Juneau at mo- host dinner, where everyone pres ent enjoyed an interesting session given over to National Auxiliary work and fine address by Mrs. Saxton. The Junior Auxiliary was perfected during Mrs McKanna's presidency, and placed on a sub stantial footing where it began to go places and do things. Twelve delegates were elected for the De- partment Convention held in Sew ard during the fall of this year. at which Mrs. McKanna, now a resi- dent of Fairbanks, was elected De- partment President.
 Mrs. Newman President

Hilary, and during this same year the Auxiliary began sending twenty dollars monthly to the wife and four i children of another veteran, who was former member of the local unit. This payment has been con- tinued through the years since then, and is still being made from the units rehabilitation fund An ad- ditional contribution of five dol lars per month was made to a To- cal disabled veteran ill in the Vet erans Hospital in Portland and this payment continued until his death occurred year later. Membership received new impetus this year through national ruling permit ting daughters of veterans, to come into the unit as junior members. and forty-four of these younger members were enrolled on the mem- bership roster this year.
 Nineteen thirty-four saw Mrs. Edith Bavard (Kyler in the chair, and number of new and interest," ing projects undertaken. The open ing event of this year was the St. Patrlcks Day Dinner, which was delightful innovation in the way of dinners, and netted a nice sum for the Unit treasury Nine delegates were elected to attend the Depart ment convention at Ketchikan this year, and Mrs. Leslie Hogins, a new member, represented the unit at the national convention held in Miami.
 Booth at Fair
 booth conducted at the South eastern Alaska Fair, netted addi- tional funds for the treasury and was very successful undertaking. Another special fall event was the first of series of White Elephant" and Book Sales, held in November This also was pronounced finan- clal success. This year, however, proved to be short year" as the constitution was revised and the date of new officers assuming their duties was fixed at October l. in- stead Of January l, so that the Aux lllary was deprived of two months of Mrs. Bavard's excellent services as President.
 Mrs. Theo McKanna. now living in Fairbanks, and serving this year as Department President, was the first President under the new rule. assuming her office in October 1884 One of the first events of her ad- mlnlstration was the Dugout Show er held jointly by the Legion and the Auxiliary for the purpose of refurnishing the Dugout. A charge of fifty cents was made to each perscn attending and the proceeds were turned over toward buying new curtains and other furnishings for the Dugout An interesting Chrlstmas party for the Juniors. and public dance held in Janu- ary Kept the interest of members up during the winter months.

On Short End
In Betting
By PAT ROBINSON

NEW. YORK, Aug. 22.-For the
first time in a great many years,
the United States polo champions
will be short enders in the betting
when they meet Argentine'S
Olympic champions for the Cup OF
the Americas in series opening
at Meadowbrook September 10.
Today the Broadway book
makers had installed the Gauchos
7-to-5 favorites over the winner OF
our open championships which
start August %.
Six teams-a Greentree, Tenn
pleton, Aurora, Hurricanes,
Roslyn and Texas-wiu compete
in the open. Either Greentree or
Templeton should win the right
to meet the Argentinians.
Greentree Won Title
Greentree won the national title
last year with Pete Bostwick,
Tommy Hitchcock. Gerald Baldlng
and Jock Whitney riding in that
order. The Templeton quartet
Mike Phipps, Stew Iglehart, Jimmy
Mills and Winston Guest-SucceSs-
fully defended the Westchester
trophy in London last June. Each
of the Templeton four are rated
at eight goals which makes them
the highest goal team in the open:
The Argentine quartet is rated
only at q goals but if, individually,
they lack the high rating Of either
Greentree with 80 goals; or Tenn
pleton with 80, they more than
make up the difference with the
class of their ponies.
Jack Nelson, captain Of the Gau-
chos, believes his team the equal
of any that ever came out OF South
America and says their string OF
48 ponies is the best the world has
even seen.
Pony Is so Per Cent of Team
Nelson said today:
eff pitching is 80 per cent
of your baseball the pony is
at least so per cent of polo.
And we have the greatest
ponies in the world. If we are
not quite as strong players as
your champions and we are
not vet ready to admit this
we think we can more than
offset any slight difference of
ability by the superior skill
and speed of our ponies. We
have truly a marvellous string
of horses. They Outclassed
everything we met in Europe
and we could have had far less
skill as players and still won
the Olympics on the superb
Ority of our mounts"
The international matches will
be played on a best two in three
basis and it is expected capa
city crowd of 10000 will pack
the famed stands of Robbins
Egg Blue for each game.
