1910 OLYMPIC GAMES CANCELLED
FINLAND UNABLE
TO STAGE EVENT
Permit May Be Granted To
Hold Games Next Year; Pan
American Games Planned

HELSINKI, April 23.-LR-The
1910 Olympic games, a football for
the Worlds war lords for three
years, finally were cancelled def
nitely today when Finland decided
it would be impossible to hold the
international competition at Hell
sinki this summer.
The decision, expected since Eu-
rope was plunged into war last
September, vas made at a joint SEES
sion of the organizing committee
and the permanent Finnish Olympic
committee.
Although the partially completed
Olympic stadia and buildings, erect
ed at a cost of some sS,0O0,000, were
not damaged by bombs in the recent
Russia-Finland conflict, the Finnish
officials decided the international
crisis made holding Of the games
impossible. They decided, however,
to petition the International Olym-
pis committee for permission to Or
the games when European
hostilities ease.
There has been some agitation to
permit Finland to stage the games,
if conditions permit, before 1914 but
it would take special action by the
International Olympic committee.
The 1914 summer games already
have been awarded to London and
the winter games to Cortina DAM
pezzo, Italy.
The 1910 winter games, scheduled
for Garmish-Partenkirchen, scene of
the 1886 games, were cancelled by
Germany last November.
The decision of the Finnish COM
mittees furnished the expected, if
disappointing, climax to three years
Of speculation as to whether and
the contests would be held.
All of that speculation was caused
by two Of the worlds ~undeclared
wars-Japan's war in China, which
was costly enough so that Japan's
lords did not feel they could
sanction the allotment of funds nee
essary for putting on the games,
and Russia's war with Finland,
which left the Firms in no condi-
ton to carry u their plans.

Chubby Dean Blanks Yanks AS AS Win, 80
FOUR HIT HURLINC
THROTTLES YANKS
Victory Is Second For Dean
Over New York; AS Score
All Runs On Walks, Errors

NEW YORK, April 23.-GP-Lov-
ill Dean, the Philadelphia Athletics
effective southpaw, has the world
champion New York Yankees num-
Der and it's zero.
He shut them out on four hits
today, 3 to 0, for his second verdict
of the season over the club every
body figured to be irresistible this
season. His first was a ten-inning
2 to 1 decision at Philadelphia in
last Tuesdays American league op-
ener.
In that game he tangled in a
pitching duel with Red Ruffing. To-
day his mound opponent was Bump
Hadley and the skirmishing was
fierce for eight innings. The AS
also were held to four hits, but
they scored all of their runs with
out the benefit of a single safety.
Bob Johnson opened the sixth with
a walk, Dick Siebert grounded to
Babe Dahlgren, but Frank Crosetti
dropped the ball trying for a force
at second and both runners were
safe. Then Frank Hayes sacrificed
both ahead and Johnson
scored on a long fly by Al Rubeling.
But in the ninth Hadley went to
pieces and filled the bases with
three passes, one of them purpose
ly after he had wild-pitched. Mara
ger Joe Mccarthy quickly sum
moned young Marius Russo, a left
handler, to duty and after striking
out Pinchhitter Sam Chapman, Rus
so forced in two more runs with
walks and Spud Chandler had to
come in to retire the side.
A crowd of 1000 watched the
struggle, which often threatened to
break wide open but never did-un-
less that ninth inning would be
called a burst.
The AS filled the bases in the
third on a hit and two walks and
put two more on in the fourth be
fore finally scoring while the Yanks
got two on in the second and sixth
to no avail.

Wins First Of Season

PHILADELPHIA, April 23,-LR-
Harry Gumbert bested Kirby High
in a hurting duel today to bring the
New York Giants their first triumph
of the season, l to 0, owe the Phil

Higbe. who had beaten the Giants
with a three-hitter a week ago to-
day, forced the games only run
across the plate with a base on balls
in the seventh inning after a walk,
a wild throw by Gus Suhr and an
intentional pass had filled the bases.
Higbe gave five hits to the four
yielded by Gumbert, but the Philly
Highlander was in frequent trouble
through eight walks.
Today's affair was the opener of
the Ph~iladelphia's home season and
drew a crowd of 5000.

Home Runs Feature Win
By Dodgers Over Bees
Brooklyn Triumphs, S-3 With
Five Runs In Second And
Three In The Sixth

BROOKLYN, April 23,-LR-The
Dodgers exploded like a case of dy-
Mantle under the Boston Bees today
with three home runs that brought
an s to 8 victory and kept Brook
Ign undefeated and tied for the Ma
tional league lead.
1t was an explosive battle from
the very start, when a double, a
single and Max Vests homer over
the right field wall earned the Bees
their three runs in the first inning.
1t was the first time the Dodgers
had been scored upon this season.
But Brooklyn's rookie delegation
came back with a five-run second
inning and followed with three more
in the sixth.
The veteran Dolph Camilli led off
in the second with a double, Roy
Cullenbine walked and HERNIA
Franks, subbing as catcher for Babe
Phelps, hit the first pitch owe the
right field fence. Peewee Reese was
walked and then Charley Gilbert
came through with a circuit clout.
This was as far as Nick Strince-
vich lasted for the Bees, but the
Dodgers fury broke loose again in
the sixth against Dick Erickson.
Franks doubled to lead off, came
home on Reese's single and Gilbert
came through with his second home
run.
Tex Carleton. after surviving the
blast in the first, went the route for
Brooklyn and shut out the Bees in
the last eight innings, although he
allowed two hits in both the sixth
and seventh frames.

Good Solution
Try as we may We can't gel
steamed up over the fact that Their
won't be n Olympic games in
1910. With most CO the world so
ing to pot it wouldn't be much use
of staging the event that is meant to
promote peace and craftsmanship.
The affair would have been as hard
to stage in either Helsinkl or Ho-
boken.
As it is the American athletes
would have been practically the only
ones who would be able to enter the
Olympics. The Pan-American games,
if the arrangements can be COM
pleted in time, will take the place
Of the international sports event
and, we think, prove more salts
factory to the United States than a
trip through the war ones.
SoftbalI Talk
\ few days ago we heard that
softball il the sport en- the spot in
Raleigh, all because Of alleged pro.
fessionalism' within the ranks.
It seems that the ether teams in
Raleigh became very, very sore
when the Pilot Mills outfit went
right on winning year after ear.
A little investigation revealed that
the Pilot players were imported to
the city. The other teams got sorer
and now it seems there won't lie
much softbaE in Raleigh this year
unless the differences are ironed out
soon.
This year it seems that Whining
ton will so even farther into the
softbalI field than ever before. Some
% or 30 teams will be playing and
the players are already breaking the
ground for the respective league OPP
enings next week.
