Finnish Boycott Of Olympic Games Threatened Now . HELSINOFOns. Finland.. May 12 m The talk of a Finnish boycott of tho Olympic games at Los Angeles, If Paavo Nurral Is not re-lnstatcd shortly by the International nmateur athletic federation, has gained some headway. Captain Lauri Plhkala, head of the physical training department of Fin land's volunteer army and long prominent In national athletics, told tho Associated Press the financing of tho trip of a Finnish team to Cali fornia would be Impossible, so far nB contributions from the Finnish public are concerned. If Nurml'e dis qualification is not rescinded.

Yanks' Pitching Taking Place Of Slump In Swats Hy fiayle Talhnt (Associated Press Sports Writer) The New York Yankees no longer are getting the flamboyant batting that had opposing clubs hanging on tho ropes tho first fortnight of the campaign, but their pitching sud denly has (become a thing of beauty. In scoring four consecutive victories over Detroit and St. Louis and setting sail after the flying Washington Sen ators, Joe McCarthy's curvers have more than atoned for a marked fall ing off In the club's attack. In , four games the quartet of George Plpgras, Charley. Ruffing and Vernon Gomez and young Johnny Al len has allowed only four runs, two of which would have been averted by snappier support.: Plpgvas and Allen have registered shutouts, ' Allen, the rookie from Toronto, won himself a starting berth yesterday when he set the Browns down, 3 to 0. on five scattered hits. The victory enabled the Yanks to narrow the gap between them and the leading Senators to two games. All the other American leagu teams were weatherbound at Washington, Philadelphia and Boston. Tho Brooklyn Dodgers traveled twelvo innings to beat out St. Louis, 0 to 3, and break a four gama losing streak. Their three runs in the twelfth were strictly a gift from "Wild Bill" Hnllahnn. Tho Cardinal south paw uncorked three wild pitches, tying the major leogue records for that specialty, passed one man and Rest Assured. allowed three hits. Jimmy Collins enabled the Cards to carry he fight Into extra innings when he smashed his eighth, home run with Watklns on base. Cincinnati fans enjoyed a large af ternoon as their Reds made it two out of three over the Phillies, 4 to 1. Not only did "Red" Lucas hold the Phils to five hits and his battery mate, Ernie Lombard 1, lead- an as sault on two visiting moundsmen, but there were fisticuffs. Leo Durocher, displeased when he was tagged out stealing second, plant ed a right on the Jaw of Dick Bar tell, Phils shortstop. Bartell went down and Durocher went out. . NATIONAL LEAGUE j W. L.

Loughran Again Beaten in Ring By Steve Hamas KHILADE1LPH3JA, May 12 (0) i There were few to assert today that Tommy Loughran was through with the leather and canvas although he had bowed a second time beneath the punishing fists . of young Steve Hamas. The Philadelphia phantorri, trying to come back to the heavyweight heights from which he tumbled in last winter's wars .said he thought he had won the 10-round bout which went to Hamas by a 2 to 1 decision last night. , His partisans declared his perform ance demonstrated that he still could sock, that he still was clever enough to avoid punishment from, a hard hitting youngster and that it might have been a fluke by which Hamas knocked him out In the second round of their Madison Square Garden go last January. , . Tho 23-year-old Penn State let terman, tried for Loughran 's body throughout the bout but the veteran kept him away with his loft. Hamas got across several damaging blows to the Jaw. Two rounds contained most of the action. A wild rally staid in the fourth when Loughran jarred Hamas who clipped Loughran on the Jaw making the Phlladelphian's . knees buckle. Hamas then backed him against the ropes to press his ad vantage. But Loughran rolled with the punches and weathered the storm. In the final round both threw caution away and tried for a kayo. Hamus landed first with rights to Loughran's Jaw but Tommy clinched, and In a moment returned a right to Hamas' left eye, partly closing" it. The bout attracted 14,000, the capacity of the convention hall.
