LOS ANOELES, July 39. P) Use
Hamlet without tha celebrated Dane
in the cast, the Olympic gamea will
launch their moat spectacular ath
letic show this week-end without
Faavo Nurmi, the most gifted runner
and most colorXul personality that
footracing has ever known.
Swiftly and without the remotest
loophole for repeal, the great Finnish
athlete stood barred today from all
Olymplo competition by a curt de
clslon rejecting his entry, based upon
the charges that In effect he profes
sionalised himself by accepting mon
ey beyond hla expense requirements
for a 1931 barnstorming trip through
Germany.
Finland Team Upset.
As a result, the Olympics have sud
denly been bereft of their greatest
track and field drawing card, Nurmi's
ambltloai to crown a fourth Olympic
appearance with a marathon tri
umph, has been shattered and Fir.
land's rugged little athletic band has
been turned into a state of semi-revolt.
No sooner had the ban of Nurmi
been formally announced by J. S.
Edstiom of Sweden, president of the
International Amateur Athletic fed
eration, than reports spread quickly
today that (1) Finland would con
sider withdrawing Its entire team
from the games: and (3) that Nurmi
would immediately turn profenalonal
for a'serles of match races.
Finnish leaders, who fought bitter
ly to the last ditch against heavy
odds, left the final hearing on the
Nurmi case in shaken spirits, con
vinced their greatest athletlo figure
had been unjustly convicted. They
told the Associated Press, neverthe
less, that they expected to go through
with the games, with their athletes
redoubling efforts to make up for
the loss of Nurmi.
No Repeal Possible.
Tinder the decision repsotlng Nur
mi's entry, there wss no recourse to
day for either the runner or Finland
In the full congress of the Interna
tional A. E. P., beyond the possi
bility of vocal aftermath. Any re
consideration of the matter was
blocked completely by one of the
allckest political maneuvers In Inter
national athletic history.
Instead of prolonging the laaue.
haggling over rules and projecting
the Nurmi controversy Into the open
meeting of the I. A. A. F. today, the
executive council of the federation,
sitting as a commission with full
powers, abruptly ended the whole de
bate by rejecting Nurmi's entry. This
avoided altogether the Issue of
whether Nurmi Is an amateur or pro
fessional and definitely closed the
door to further discussion.

man of the Pittsburgh Pirates, who
walloped six hits, including a pair of
home-runs, drove la nine runs and
scored four times himself to help

marks. Plet, like Martin, took over hla
berth with tne Pirates at the start of
the season without benefit of bally
hoo. Born at Berwick, Pa., 35 years
ago, Plet played rlth a semi-pro out
fit around Chicago before he signed
with Corslcana, Texas, In 1028. The
Pirate bought him up last season,
and in 44 games he hit .399.
In addition to his great bitting
exhibition against the Olanu yes
terday, Plet handled 19 chances with
out an error.
The Chicago Cubs turned back the
Boston Braves, 4 to 1.
The Cincinnati Reds halted the
Phillies again, 7 to 4.
Brooklyn made It four out of five
over the St. Louis Cardinals by split
ting a doubleheader. The Dodgers
took the first, 9 to 6, and copped the
nightcap, 8 to 6.
With Babe Ruth returning to the
lineup to bang hla 37th and SBtb
home runs and drive In seven runs,
the Yankees took a 10 to 1 fall out
of the Cleveland Indians In the Amer
ican league feature.
The Boston Red Sox won their third
triumph over Chicago, 3 to 1. Wal
ter Stewart pitched the St. Louis
Browns to a 6 to 4 win over Wash
ington. Detroit made enough runs off Ktm

July 39 (IP) Jean Borotra, Jading
French tennis veteran, today sprang
a stunning upset as he defeated Ells
worth Vines, Jr., ace of the United
States team. 6-4, 6-3. 3-6, 6-4, in the
first match of the Davis Cup final
between the United Btaea and
Prance
The beret-topped Basque, lifting
his game to heights reminiscent of
the beet days of the "three musket
eers" himself, Cochet and Lacoste
rushed the American youngster olf
his feet in the first two sets, wearied
to drop the third and then cams
back with a fiery attack to take the
fourth and final set.
. The entirely unexpected victory
made France an overwhelming favor
ite to retain the cup they won from
the United States In 1937, as Henri
Cochet is favored to win his two sin
gles matches for the three victories
needed.
