JIMMIE WALKER
 ILLEGALLY NAMED
Judge of Supreme Court Rules on Recent Appoint
 to Commission

New York, Oct. 8--(UP)-Supreme Court Justice Samuel I. Rosenman ruled today that former Mayor James J. Walker was illegally ap- pointed to his $12,000 8 year post on the transit commission under vio- lation of civil service procedure.
 The court held that before an ap- pointment may be made the quali- flcations of the appointee must be approved by the state civil service commission and the public service commission.
 "In this case" Judge Rosenrnan said, "the appointment was made prior to approval by either body"
 The decision, while applying spe- officially to Walkers first appoint ment to the transit commission on Aug. 16, 1887, was expected to affect similarly the second appointment made after the deadline on pension rights had expired, on Sept. IS.
 The action for Walkers removal was instituted by Richard Welling who applied as "a citizen of New York" for an order of tnandamus requiring the transit commission to dismiss the former mayor as its newly appointed counsel.
 The original appointment, which aroused criticism from numerous civic organizations who termed 1t a pension grab, 2" was made virtually imperative when Public Service Commissioner Milo R. Maltbie re- fused to confirm 1t. He approved the second appointment after expir- ation of the date which would have admitted walker to pension rights in excess of $i2,00O g year.

George ". Cohan To I171persondteP President
Returning to Musical Comedy After lO.Year Absence;
 Farcial Fantasy on New Deal to Have Its t"'-a t a Premiere in Boston 1
-(Acne Telephoto.)

Boston, Oct. s.-(UP) --silver- haired George M. Cohail,. the grand old song-and-dance man of the American stage. was here today to prepare for the world premiere of "1'd Rather Be Right" @ musical comedy in which he iinpersonates a man he never has met-President Roosevelt. Opening of the Moss Hart George Kaufman production Monday marks the flrsttime Cohan /has appeared in @ musical comedy in 10 years. In the interim he has appeared in more serious plays.
 Conan said he believed MT. RooSe- welt would "enjoy" the play. "It's more Q farcical fantasy than c satire on the New Deal," he ex- plained, land 1 don't think anybody will be offended by it." His only makeup will consist of pair of pince-nez glasses. ..,..
 "1've never met MT. Roosevelt" Conan said. Tn fact, the only time I've seen him was in the newsreels, so I guess that qualifies me for the part"
 Producers said the play marked the first time in the history of the American theater that anyone has played the part of Q living presi- dent by name.
 A rabid baseball fan, Cohan re- gretted having to miss the world series. "1t's the third or fourth I've missed since saw my first one in 1903.
 Reminded that he once almost became co.owner of the New York Giants, Cohan smilingly asserted Maybe it's just as well l didn't. I'd probably be dead by now from worry"

Manager Bill Terry called on Hal Schumacher, right-hander from Dolgeville, N. r., to halt the pell- nell rush of the Tanks, who belted the Giants two aces, Carl Hubbell and Cliff Melton, to cover in win- ming the first two games played at Yankee stadium.
 Pearson On Mound
 Monte Pearson, 8 slim right handler who tanned the Giants in beating Hubbell in the fourth game last October, was Manager Joe Mo- Carthy's choice to make 1t three straight for the Tanks.
 Both pitchers are in and cutters. Schumacher beat the Tanks in the fifth game last year after being knocked out in the second game. He won 13 and lost 12 during the reg lilar season while Pearson had a record of g victories and 3 defeats despite the fact that he was out of action for several weeks with a lame shoulder.
 Weather Is Cold
 Cold weather turned up for to- days game and most of the crowd was attired in top coats. The sky was overcast, making gloomy set ting.
 The Tanks superiority over the Giants in the first two games has robbed the series of mulch of It's glamour, and the fans lack of iil- terest was reflected in today's crowd. - [ ".
 An early estimate placed the at tendance at less than 45,000, ten thousands less than the Polo Grounds capacity.
 The sun came out at 1:15 p. m. as Schumacher and Pearson started to warm-up in front of the stands. The crowd number less than 35,0o0 at this time.
 A statistical expert brought out some interesting figures which put a damper on the Giants hopes oi handcufting the Yankee attack ir the Polo grounds. Last year the Tanks made 32 runs and Al hits in 3 games at the Polo grounds in comparison to Il runs and A hits in 3 games at Yankee stadium.

because the hotel would give us no

Of paying up or being kicked out.
And because we couldn't pay up,
we sneaked off :"
