Found Not Guilty
When the n. A. A. G. p. wrote
Postmaster Farley in April about
the Webb case the department re-
piled that although the U. S. court
had found Webb not guilty, the
department thought he was guilty
and so it would take no action
for his relief.
Court Decision Ignored
The new protest of the n. A. A.

department means to take the posi-
ton that the United States courts

thority greater than the courts Of

Reynolds Comes
To Life With
Tinne|YHits

CHICAGO, Ill, July 23.-Carl
Reynolds, flourishing in the dry
heat of Chicago, had one Of the
great afternoons of his colorful
career. The big rightfielder made
four hits, drove in one Of the
tallies registered by the team and
placed the other in position to
score. In the eighth inning Rey-
nolds showed Travis around to-
third, and in the tenth he singled
and stole second base. Unfortu-
nately, these last two efforts came
to naught, for the following GriffS
just could not break through the
delivery of Silent" John White
head.
It was Reynolds who sent the
game into extra innings by his
fine defensive play. In the fifth
inning with Sewell and whitehead
on bases, Radcliffe whipped a
swerving double toward the right
field foul line. Reynolds came in
fast and snagged the ball. Then he
went back and took q shot off the
bat Of Larry Rosenthal. With less
certain defense in the starboard
patrol, the Sox might have had o
far easier time.
In the tenth inning Reynolds
took care Of Appling's bid for ex-
ira bases. One way and an
other the Texan had a large
time of it, and more'S the pity
that his artistry was dedicated
to a lost battle.
Whitehill pitched well enough
to win most games, but this bat
tie was above the run Of the dia-
mond. The three runs Chicago
scored were clearly earned.
The Griffs have no excuse for
the beating. They had six men
left on bases in the first four
innings. They left three strand
ed in the ninth, and two in the
tenth. So you can see for your
self that they did not lack for
opportunity.

Workouts
BY DAVIS J. WALSH
Copyright, 1885, by International
News Service


ABOARD s. s. MANHATTAN,
July 23.-As a result Of consider
able bungling by the American
committee, the United States
Olympic team will step ashore at
Hamburg tomorrow morning after
almost 200 hours penned up aboard
ship without exercise.
No shore leave was granted at
Havre yesterday, although the
Manhattan was tied up there for
IA hours, because the committee
did not want the trouble of Shep-
herding the restless athletes back
aboard.
Four of the boys, however, beat
the rap when Jesse Owens and
Dave Albritton Of Ohio State, and
Glenn Cunningham Of Kansas
stole ashore and took long run
in a vacant lot in their street
clothes, and Charley Hornbostel
of Indiana slipped onto French
soil for a long walk. Owens ran
at least a mile and Cunningham
two.
Others Fret On Board
The rest made poor shift aboard,
irritated and fretful at the delay,
their chief exercise being ocular,
as they impatiently watched the
long loading and unloading
process.
The committee ordered all the
team members to pack their bag
gage at noon yesterday, with the
result that whole days work was
lost. Training, anyhow, was badly
set back by this early collection Of
the teams inpedimenta.
Adopting a procedure unique in
Olympic preparation, the track
team will probably use the late
daylight afforded by Berlin's
northern latitude Friday evening
for their first training in the
Olympic village. Unusual as this
step is, it is necessary as a pre-
liminary to a real workout on
Saturday.
Get Official Welcoming
Everybody will be kept aboard
at Hamburg again tonight, so
old Noah had better look to his
laurels. There will be recep-
ton aboard Friday morning, then
greetings by the mayor and SEN
ate Of Hamburg at the city hall,
where the key to the city will be
given to the team. Altogether
about eight hours will be con-
sumed in getting to Berlin and
receiving a welcome there.
To cover its own misjudgment
in handling training arrange
mentS, the Olympic committee
exhumed the revelry case brought
up earlier in the trip, which con-
sisted of one lone indiScretion,
which has not been repeated.
Avery Brundage, chairman Of
the committee, took occasion to
praise the team as "the most ad-
mirable and best behaved in the
history of Olympic voyaging." He
mentioned the one infraction, but
named no names, and said the
athlete was now behaving him.

Like commencement week at
college, the team elected a group
Of "class favorites" as they neared

Most popular man, Glenn Cunning
ham; Jesse Owens, runner-up.
Most handsome man, Glenn Har-

 SIXTY WORKERS

 to Have Been Killed

BARNSLEY YORK, England Aug. 6.-More than 60 men were reported entombed by an explos- ion in the coal mine here.
 Rescue crews have already brought out eight bodies.
 The chief of the rescue squad said there is little hope that any of the remainder are alive.
 The blast was followed by a fire which is raging in the section of the mine where the explosion oc- cured. Safety gates have been closed to prevent spreading of the fire, if possible.
