(Spec) Keene, head of the American Legion Junior league baseball movement In Oregon, said today he would await fur ther Information before male ing an official decision on an alleged protest from Burns over the game last Saturday. La Orande defeated Burns by a 8 to 2 score In the final game of the district elimina tion tournament. Keene today received a tele gram from P. J. Milligan, of Ontario, In which he stated he was forwarding a letter re ceived from Burns protesting the game. Keene was at the game, and said he had seen nothing In the game which could be protested. However, ho added, that was not an of ficial statement dismissing any protests. We would await further Information prior to announcing his decision, as there may be phases of which he has not been apprized. Keene aald the method In which the Burns protest was made was Incorrect. All pro tests of games were to be made direct to him and ' no publlo announcement of such' protests were to be made prior to a decision. , According to a telephone conversa tion last night between an Observer reporter and P. J. Milligan, of On tario, the Burns American Legion Junior league baseball team has pro tested La Orande's 3 to 2 victory hero Saturday afternoon In the final game of the district elimination tour nament. Mr, Milligan, who was seeking cer tain information from tournament officials, Indicated in the long dis tance conversation that he probably would not pass on the protest him self, but planned to forward it to Bpeo Keene, of Salem, head of the Junior league movement In Oregon. Mr. Keene saw the game in question. - Asks For Information Mr. Milligan Inquired as to the number of balls and strikes on Reed, Burns shortstop, .who made the lOBt out. D. W. Hall, of La Orande, kept tab on the balls and strikes through out the game, and stated last night that one ball had been called upon Reed before the pitch at which the boy struck, missed and then the ball hit him. caroming off behind the grand stand. Under the impression he was entitled to go to first because ho was hit by the ball, Reed went to first and Hlggs, pitcher, on third, came home. : Had the score been al lowed, It would have : knotted the count at 3-all. Umpire Joo Bush man immediately ruled It a dead hall, using rule 48, section 5 as his author ity and ordered Hlggs back to third and Reed to continue batting. The rulo In question defines such a case and states that a "dead ball" should bo called. White M,r. Bushman was making his decision, Base Umpire BUI Workman questioned Reed at flrBt as to whether he struck at the ball and whether It hit him. It Is reported that the boy answered yes to both questions, affirming the decision. Af ter play was resumed Reed struck out. ending the game 3 to 2 in favor of La Orande. Affidavits concerning the numbers of balls and strikes and othor matters pertaining to tho game were to bo forwarded from La Orande to Salem today, supporting La Orande's vic tory.

BABE WILL BE BACK IN GAME BY SATURDAY NEW YORK, July 10 P George Herman (Babe) Ruth, tho great man , of tho Yankees who tore a muscle in his right leg In yesterdoy's gome with tne unicago wmic box, snoum oe back In the lineup by Saturday in the opinion of his trainer, Artie Mc Oovern.

Ruth confided to friends sometime ago that this season was the "long est" he had ever seen and McOovern believes the rest will do him good. Slow Back Swing Disrupts Rhythm H M MM- WONDER WHY r HISSED THAT LAST ON6 2 That nil Important factor rhythm -is ruined If thc back swing Is too low. You wll notice the whenever a Kolfcr brings his club back very alow. You will notice that whenever balance on the follow through. If the rlubhcnd I neks thc right momentum an It contacts with the bull, the Rhot Is always dubbed. By hi'HlUUntt too long over the swing and deliberating too closely as you bring the clubhrnd back you give yourself Ju.it that much more time In which to think of all the bad points of your game. Tho swing Is complicated Just a Httlc further, and in the effort to do three things right you are quite certain to do six things wrong. Hpeed up your swing, get the clubhcnd m to the bull ahead of yuur ha lulu and keep your head clown, nnd don't try to think of any thing fit. These are thc essentials. John W. King, Ooldsboro, N. C, asked 110 .000 for personal damages caused by the alleged explosion of a clgurette, Ponnnrola, Kin., residents wit- ncswd the arrest of one of the city's policemen by another officer as thc result of an automobile collision. I - y 'M REASON Yo' IS GO"" MISS m i MS FOXX SLATED TO REPLACEBAMBINO Not in Yank Lineup, of Course, But as Home Run Leader of Majors By Dayle Talbot (Associated Press Sports Writer) The stanchions that carried him to baseball's heights finally given way under the strain, Babe Ruth today faced the prospect of relinquishing his home run title to Jimmie Poxx without a struggle. Even before his right leg collapsed while going after a fly ball yester day, it was extremely doubtful the old war horse could catch his youthful adversary. He was 12 homers behind the Athletic star, but still was hop ing he would get "right" and put on a spurt. Not Much Chance Now There's scarcely a chance now. The Bambino will be on the bench prob ably three weeks, physicians say. Foxx is a full month ahead of Ruth's 1927 record now and has every chance of eclipsing the Babe's mark of 60 homers. He had 38 today. 1 Tho Babe's injury, a torn ligament above the knee, resulted when he pulled up too short after missing Selph's fly in the seventh inning against tho Chicago White Sox. The Yankees won, 6 to 4, thanks to round trip wallops by Gehrig, Lazzerl and Sewell. Washington's winning Btreak of nine straight wus well broken by the Detroit Tigers who won both ends of a dou bit? hen tier, 8 to 0 and 2 to 1. Gerald Walker was the Tiger terror, filamming fivo hits during the after noon and driving across the same number of runs. The St. Louis Browns suffered their eighth consecutive loss when they were set down, 8 to 1, by Tony Prei tas. Athletic recruit. It was Freltas1 sixth victory In a row. Led by Smead Jolley again, the Boston Red Sox trimmed Cleveland, 4 to 2. Jolley's two doubles provided the winning runs. Tho Pittsburgh Pirates, whose abil ity to win extra-Inning battles fast was becoming a legend, finally came a croppor when they were nosed out by tho Phillies, 5 to 4. In II frames, Chicago failed to take advantage of the leaders' reverse, dropping a 13 to 3 decision to the Giants. Timely hitting by Hack Wilson and m ItU.k, .. Tl I,,. .. tl A ""'""'V10' cracked three hits, including a homer. drove In two runs and scored three times. Wilson's double with two on provided the winning runs in the seventh.

Ten thousand persons vociferously objected to the action taken by Ref eree Don McDonald after two hours, 10 minutes of grappling and a fall each had passed by. McDonald said he was forced to stop the bout be cause of a California athletic commis sion ruling, but Dr. Harry Martin, chairman of that commission, and a ringside spectator, told the Asso ciated Press he knew of no such, rul ing. Steele took the first fall with a head scissors and bar arm in one hour 28 minutes. Londos came back to throw his opponent with a body slam In 25 minutes 37 seconds. The grunt and grimace experts had tugged away approximately six min utes of what was to have been the third fall when McDonald called a halt as the timer struck the gong. Ho announced It was his privilege of allowing the bout to continue IS minutes longer in the hope that a de cision be reached, which he did. At the end of this time, with no more falls In sight, he terminated the bout and called It a draw much to the disapproval of the crowd which had shivered through the long ses sion at the Wrlgley Field ball park.. Dr. Martin had disappeared In the crowd, by this time and could not be reached. Steele weighed 218 pounds and Londos 202.
