Demand death
For Nazi Spies 4.
BY JACK VINCENT
Int1 Nsws service stan Correspondent

/ WASHINGTON, June 29.--
Amid demands that the eight Nazi
agents landed in this country from
submarines be quickly shot, the
justice department disclosed today
that nearly 1900. German ma
tionais had been arrested since the
outbreak of war in widespread
campaign to prevent sabotage.
While most of the Germans
previously arrested in the nation
wide drive were placed in intern
ment camps without trial, the
sensational seizure Of the eight
saboteurs led 10 immediate de-
mands in Congress that the agents
be tried for espionage and treason.
Two of the men-one OF them.
Ernst Peter Burger, former De-
troiter-are American citiZens and.
legal experts said, can be charged
with treason. IL was asserted
that il may be possible that the
six German nationals could be
turned over TO the army tried aS
spies before military court and
sentenced 10 face firing squad.

PICKED UP IN y. Y.

1t is believed that the CON
facts" and associates" >of the
saboteurs who were subsequently
arrested were picked up in New
York, although il was rumored
that one OF them was taken into
custody in Chicago.
The new arrests were OF men
with whom the saboteurS have had
contact in their meanderings about
New York. Chicago and cities in
Florida. They were men whom the
saboteurS had talked TO or had
been seen with in public places
men who might have been useful
in helping them carry out the
program.
FBI officials refused 10 discuss
"a story in circulation 10 the effect
that a coast guardsman tipped off
the arrival Of the four German
agents at Amagansett Beach. l.. l.,
on the night of Saturday. June 13.
This beach is 100 miles from New
York CITY.
According 10 the story. the
guardSman was seized by the in
vading Saboteurs, thrown down on
the sand and disarmed. The Ger
mans debated killing him-but
finally reached a strange decision.
The story had il that they
agreed 10 spare his life when he
accepted n $40 bride which the
NaziS offered him TO keep his
mouth shut.

Blue Law Test Case
In South Carolina

Umpires in 6reenville

Slotted Wednesday
By the Associated Press.

BY tne ASSocldteo fress.
AUGUSTA, Ga, April 27.-Sufl-
day celebrants in Greenville, s. c.,
who enjoy baseball game rather
than a picnic in the park, may have
to look elsewhere for Sabbath Day
recreation If application there of
South Carolina's so-called blue
law" is sustained.
Some 5000 fans gathered at
Meadowbrook Park in Greenville
yesterday to watch the Spinners
entertain Macon in a scheduled
South Atlantic League encounter.
After Greenville's starting pitcher
had breezed the first ball past the
first Macon batter, Sheriff r. II.
Bearden stepped in and stopped the
game by placing Umpires G. F. For
rest and Don Atkinson under tech
nical arrest.
The sheriff said he acted on ad-
vice of the county attorney that
Sunday baseball was in violation of
the States so-called blue law.
President Lehman A. Mosely Of the
Greenville club posted bond for each
Of the defendants for appearance in
court Wednesday morning, and the
club said the case would be con-
tested to the end. It contended that
new State law gives Greenville
the right to hold Sunday sports
events because of the establishment
nearby Of an Army base.
The Greenville ruling may have
an important bearing on Sunday
games in other South Carolina
member cities. The Spinners, re-
organized and under a new manager
Eddie Phillips, have nine more
regularly scheduled Sunday home
games.

yesterday may satiate their appe-
tites.
They saw Walter Masterson pitch
one of the better games of his career
for six innings of the nightcap.
When the chips were down in the
seventh inning, though. the Mats
and their 20 lead crumbled.
With men on first and third and
one out, Billy Knickerbocker drilled
a double-play ball at Gale. who
permitted the ball to scoot into left
field. Buddy Blair singled and Bob
johnson doubled to present the AS
a 80 lead.
At that juncture, with Blair on
third and johnson on second, Re-
pass gave his own exclusive inter-
probation of baseball. He handled
Dick Siebert's groumder, and see
ing Blair was trapped between
third and the plate, rushed from his
second base position across the in
field to play tag.
Chisox Here Tomorrow.
Blair was in a playful mood. He
ran right back to third base and
slid under Repass' erratic throw to
Gale. Up stepped Hal Wagner and
drilled a single to right, scoring
Blair and johnson.
The Mats had grasped a 20 ad-
vantage in the first inning on
George Cases single, Spence's triple
and vernon's inheld out. but that
5-run seventh inning marred that
labor. The AS scored another run
of Hardin Cathey in the eighth,
while the Mats added futile run
in the ninth when AL Evans tripled
and scored after Gale flied 10
Kreevich.
Blair's first-inning homer over
the right field fence scored Kreevich
ahead of him in the first game.
Jack Wilson, who started for the
Mats, failed to survive the opening
inning due to a Charley horse.
The AS nicked Steve Sundra for
three runs In the sixth, with the
aid of q Pofahl error, and another

Lawson Robertson, coach of the
University Of Pennsylvania runners
and of the United States Olympic

Is the spokesman for the walk to

He expresses the idea that one
can't learn to lay bricks by. playing
dominocs and that one can't become
adept at walking or running by
riding three blocks to the corner Ice

His views are shared by such
coaches as Harry Hillman Of Dart
mouth, Billy Hayes Of Indiana,
Franklin johnson Of Stanford, w.
H. Hargiss of Kansas and George
T. Bresnahan of Iowa.
Robertson Is certain that the
present curtalment Of riding, hasn't
produced any noticeable effects In
the track world as yet, but he Is
positive that II walking becomes a
permanent pastime for the next few
years the record books win undergo

Nine's 'sLosing Streak
Adds 10 ChicagoU.
Athletic Woes
Moroons Drop q Comes
In Row in Competition
With Big Ten Foes
BY DAVE HOFF,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

CHICAGO, April 27.-The Uni
versity of Chicago, whose football
team was disbanded in 1899 and
whose basket ball quint ended the
1912 Big Ten season nursing a
string Of 81 consecutive conference
defeats. is riding the rocky road in
another sport.
Now it's baseball.
Maroon mines have lost % straight
in the Big Ten and have not won a
conference encounter since 1910.
Floundering through the early
stages Of the current season, Chi
cago's baseball players committed
80 errors in four games. The pitchers
couldn't pitch.
Batting Streak Shortlived.
The hitters thumped the ball for
% hits in two tits and then went
on the skids at Illinois last week end.
In last Fridays game the Maroons
made only three hits. On Saturday
the Illinis Chuck Schiller held them
without a hit or a run.
The Maroons, as in football and
basket ball, once were mighty on
the diamond. AS late as 1885 and
1896. under their present coach, Kyle
Anderson, they made good showings
In the Big Ten-but then began a
decline.
Shy From Baseball Talk.
Anderson, In his 10th year as
diamond mentor on the midway.
captained Chicago's 1928 team and
was rated a good enough player to
have a tryout with the Pittsburgh
Pirates in 1929
Chicago students quit moaning
and writing biting editorials for the
Daily Maroon when football was
eliminated and the basket ball situa-
ton became tragic. So they aren't
talking much about the baseball
troubles
Sure" one Chicago student said
today, I'VE knew the ball club had
lost % straight. But we weren't
mentioning 1t. We thought maybe
nobody else would notice"
