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qualification is not rescinded.
Ordinary contributors would rath
er see Finland unrepresented at Lob
Angolcs than have the team leavo
Hclslngfors without Nurml, accord
ing to Captain Plhkala.
Meanwhile, the latest Indications
aro tho I. A. A. F. intends to stand
pat and make a real test case of the
charges against Nurml that he re
do) ved excessive expenses.
Burleigh Grimes refuses to throw
his "spitter" for photographers, fear

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.

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.

hart to score Smith and the fun
started. Coles hit safely to left field,
Bradcn throwing the ball to Catcher
Selby who dropped it when he tried
to tag McLln out at the plate. Bre
