National A.A.U. Not To Rule Out | Author DeMar
BY ERNEST BARCELLA

United Press Staff CorrcspOndent)
 Boston, April g. - (UP) = Letting the sports chips fall where they may:
 Authoring a book on his favor ite sport will not affect the anna teur standing of Clarence Demar, dean of marathoners. It's un- derstood the National A.A.U. will take no action against Demars, be- cause the 48-year-old Keen, N. H., teacher and printer, did not pen the tome for financial reward.
 Bill Stewart, who doubles in brass as big league baseball umpire and National Hockey League refreee, ran in the famed B.A.A. marathon in 1918. Bue he only did 2 1-2 miles instead of the usual 25 miles which was the distance then. . The 1918 race was for service men and Bill was one of 10 men in a relay.
 Incidentally, Bill Stewart, Jr., looks as if he will clinch the second base berth on the Boston English high baseball team. They say that Young Bill is a pretty good hitter and nifty fielder.
 Speaking of marathons. ... Brick layer Bill Kennedy, granddaddy of them all at the age of 53, is a mem Der of the democratic town commit tee of East Portchester, Conn. .. . Last summer he attended the Olym- pic games in Germany. .. He went broke and walked the 180 miles from Berlin to Hamburg with a pack on his back.
 Red SOx Hit"
 For the third time in three months, domestic misfortune has struck at the Boston Red Sox in field. Last January shortstop Eric McNair lost his wife in child birth. :. The child, a boy, lived. |. but McNair's morale was virtually shattered by the tragedy.
 Then, on Wednesday, twins - a boy and a girl = were born prema- turely to Mrs. Joe Cronin, wife or the Sox manager, died at birth. 1uG 1TOlly Ol 4I dAA 10 uAdv SAOAAAAA replaced McNair at shortstop when the latter's play was affected by the death of his wife. And now, Osmcar Melillo, vetrean second sacker, is speeding home to Chicago. His wife is seriously i'll. .. She gave birth to son last week.
 Bill Henry, Boston Red Sox pitcher, has a distinguished ances- tor. He is descendant or Patrick (Give Me Liberty) Henry.
 If crowd reaction means anything, Eleanor Holm Jarrett should do handsomely for herself as a profes- sional swimmer. The Cham pagne Girl of the 1886 Olympics vowed 'em in her pro debut here last night. And, among the male performers, Som Howard showed the boys and girls the fanciestd1v- ing that's been seen in Boston. .. The sandy -haired Texans best was tricky affair in which he does a backward somersault on the spring board, and in the next motion. leaps into the brine with one and one half gainor.

CIV The Associated Press)

Fascism's offensive in Spain, mired
for more than three months, march
ed across two fronts today, and seem
ingly took two long strides toward the
domination of Spain.
Fascists said it was the beginning
of the end. No sooner had a scarce
ly resisted seaboard army seized COM
plete control of Malaga, second sea-
port of the land, than from the Mad
rid front came the announcement the
Observation-Disclosures road had been cut
a few miles south of Madrid. That
severed the main artery of supplies
for Madrid and stopped direct COM
munication between the besieged cap
ital and Valencia, wartime seat of the
Socialist government. Again it ad-
vanced the slow and difficult Fascist
enlightenment of Madrid.
Capture of Malaga is of consider
able strategic Importance. It is of
aven greater Importance for moral
effect.

Raleigh, Feb. 9.-Liquor control adj
vocates are much less concerned over
the March on Raleigh" proposed by
by the raging drys than over the pos
sibility of recalcitrant cities tossing
monkey wrench into the machinery
already geared to send the liquor bill
through the Senate with a whoop.
The bill as passed by the House

any part of the liquor revenue. 1t is
a well known and universally con
coded fact that State, county and city
can fight over a morsel of revenue
more belligerently than a pack of
hungry dogs over a choice bone.
Hence the fear that tt e. unprovided-

in the path of liquor-control progress.
1t is an open secret that the North

politics and how ! it is played and
which las one of the smoothest work

satisfied with the course of events.

The almost complete silence that

proposal had been under considera-
tion to resume operations in, GIN

would accept the unions demand for
recognition as the bargaining aency
| for employees in 20 plants.
The governor announced the two
groups would convene at $3.50 p. m.
