Firms Study English in Preparation for Oympics
German Also Learned Facilitate Relations Vtor

Finland and its capital, Helsinki
(Helsingfors), busily are making
preparations for the 18th Olympic
games, opening there in the sum-
mer of 1910.
Recent reports tell that Films
are study ing English, the official
language of the Olympics, in order
to facilitate relations with their
visitors" says a bulletin issued
from the Washington headquar-
ters of the National Geographic
Society.
MANY Helsinki storekeepers
have enrolled in one-year courses
in English and German, and spe-
cial classes are being held for
railway employees, streetcar con-
ductors and the Helsinki police
force.
Special programs for the
period of the Olympics are being
planned by the Helsinki SYM
phony Orchestra, the Finnish
Opera and the Helsinki theaters.
The latter will present a series
Of classic Finnish plays.
Members of the Iotta Svard,'
woman's auxiliary of the Finnish
National Guard. are learning to
make the favorite foods of the
various countries whose nationals
will participate in the Olympics.
This organization will be on hand
at the olympic Stadium.
Evening star., 1939-07-14

THE stadium, on the outskirts
OF Helsinki, was begun in 1884
and completed last year. Several
athletic events already have been
held there. It was built to &C
commodate 10000 spectators, but
it has been enlarged, in prepara-
ton for the Olympics, to take
care of $4,000.
"The elliptical running track
within the stadium, where the
world perhaps will see the max
ing Of new records, is 400 meters
in length; inside the area occu-
pied by the powdered-brick track
lies a large, well-kept grass plot,
on which football and other
games will be played.
Just opposite the winning
post and gla 3sed-in broadcasting
rooms covered grandstand will
accommodate press representa-,
tives. The whole structure is
dominated by modernistic tower
of stately proportions, which is
the symbol of the 1910 Olympics.
"The games will begin June 20,
when the Finnish climate is most
favorable for the contests. Near

PHILADELPHIA, July 14.-First

tween the Phils and Cubs-has gone
to Gabby Hartnett and his Bruins.
In an old-time hammer and

Appleton, Accused of Loof;ng,
Will Be Fined 500 Unless
He Pops Up, Says Bucky

Ossie Bluege threw wild past First
Baseman Jim Vernon, the Browns
Harland Cliff scooting to second.
Bluege's Error Costly.
The usually reliable Bluege loomed
as the likely fellow to blame for
the defeat Ossie had replaced
Charley Colbert at third only q
moment before and his erratic throw
represented Bluege's only chance.
Harris, though, exploded when
Myril Hoag rammed a single to
center with two out. He claimed
Appleton was careless and that the
ball Hoag poked had absolutely
nothing" on it.
A large portion Of Harris peeve
against Pete is traceable to the fact
that Appleton appears to remain
unruff1ed when the Mats lose. Harris
hopes the threat of parting with
$1O0 may imbue Appleton with more
ambition, but if it doesn't Bucky
will request Prexy Clark Griffith to
shave him from an already de-
pleted mound staff.
Despite the loss the Mats were in
clined to be optimistic over the
continued effectiveness of Joe Kra-
kauskas, the Lithuanian southpaw,
who started and remained four
innings before being whipped by
temperature Of 105. Krakky be-
came i'll and yielded the pitching
burden to Alexandra Ca,rrasquel in
the fifth inning after the Mats had
compiled a 81 lead.
Colbert Smashes Homer.
Washington registered its three
runs in the second. when Colbert
whacked one of Vernon Kennedy's
curves over the right field stands
for his first home run of the season.
1t was inserted into the engagement
at proper moment. for Cecil Travis
and Buddy Myer were perched on
second and first, respectively, at
the time.
Krakky blanked the Browns for
three innings and was slammed
for the only run scored of him in
the fourth, when George McQuinn
blasted a home run over the right
field stands.
st. Louis tied the score at 3-3 in
the sixth, smashing Carrasquel for
four successive singles. Then, in
the eighth, came Appleton and there
went the ball game.
The great American pastime, in
cidentally, wouldn't have been rec
ognized as such in that tiff. WASH
ington's pitchers were the Lithuan-
ian Krakauskas, Venezuelan Carras-
quel and the Polish Appleton, who
altered 1t from Jablonowski in 1884.
Catching the last three innings was
Italian Angelo Guiliani.

Norman was catching the pitches

ST. LOUIS, July IA Incensed
over the lackadaisical attitude of
Pitcher Pete Appleton, Manager
Bucky Harris today warned the
Mats Polish. .right-hander he either
will pitch effectively Sunday against
Chicago or be fined 100 of Uncle
Sans still highly regarded dollars.
Either you're terrible or I'm
blind" Harris appraised Appleton
with brutal frankness. You're 60
ing to work nine innings against
Chicago on Sunday if it's ITO in the
shade and you are going to show
me some pitching or it'll cost you
$1OO."
That was the upshot of Apple
tons relief pitching here yesterday
as the Mats fourishing three-gam
winning streak was snapped, 43,
by the Browns. 1t was Washington S
10th loss of the season by a margin
of one run and it didn't serve to
sooth Harris.
Pete Produces Sunday-or Else.
II don't mind losing so much If
a fellows giving his best, but I've
seen Appleton lose enough games in
that nonchalant manner of his. He
may not have cared 50 much about
winning or losing up to now, but
he'll show me something Sunday or
he's liable to be shipped to Oshkosh.
II he loses, but shows me he's
giving his best, then that fine won t
go. I told him he had from now
until Sunday to think it over. He'll
snap out of it or else. He's squarely
on the spot with me-"
So, it seems, Appleton has much
at stake Sunday in addition to the
100 potatoes. He has been accused
of loafing by Harris and that is
tantamount to a ticket to the minor
leagues unless he shows sudden
reversal of attitude.
Somewhat short of sensational as
relief pitcher, Pete ironically will
be elevated to starting role for
the first time this season when he
squares off with the White Sox In
half of double-header. And how
he hurls may determine his future
status with the Mats.
The situation came to a head in
the short span of an inning yester-
day. Appleton entered the game in
the eighth inning with the score tied
at 3-3 and promptly was placed in
a predicament when Third Baseman

 Rayon, cement and cotton piece goods will form the bulk of Japan csc merchandise for the crude oil which will be brought here in part of Japan's thirty modern tankers.
 The new supply follows 40 per cent reduction of import quotas on certain American crude shipments, mostly from California fields.
 Twelve Japanese oil companies are forming a new fifteen million dollar subsidiary to specialize in pro- ducing high test aviation gas for military planes, combining the navy's secret hydonization process with the patented methods of a Chicago firm which local interests have acquired at reportedly high cash premium.
