Scattered Hits
Farnitore Lassies Score
Ten TsUIm in Fourth
To Root Dark Horses
*
Alvis Monay, Gulf, Refinery's
leading hurler, let the Interna-
tional Harvester crew down
With two scattered hits last
atght in a makeup game in the
recreation league which the Oil-
en annexed 6 to 1.
The winners touched Steven-
son and Bland, tossers for the
Reapers, for eight well assorted
and well bunched hits for four
tallies in the opening round and
two more in the sixth.
Harvester's lone counter was
marked up m the final frame
on a couple of walks and a sin-
gle by Catcher Richardson. Ten
of the would-be Harvester hit-
ters were retired on strikes.
Centerfielder Absher of Gulf
led the hit parade with a dou-
ble and a circuit blow out of a
trio of trips to the plate.
Kdlaa Furniture Hot
The Nolan Furniture girls set
to work early on the Dark Hore
es, counting five runs in the
opening frame and another in
the second
The Horses collected one run
in the second and stampeded in
the third, shoving across six
counters to take a one-run lead.
It was, apparently, the wrong
thing to do, for the winners
oeme Hadt strong in the fourth
and chased across tan runs,
mainly errors by the Ponies. Six
mlscues, coupled with one triple
and one single produced the ten
runs.
The box scores.

CHICAGO — (UP) — The
Illinois Athletic commission
today halted Jack Reams' long
fruitless search for another
heavyweight champion by sus-
pending him for five years for
his mysterious part in the Jim-
my Adamrick-Jack Trammell
fight fiasco last June 8.
Not one witness could ex-
plain exactly how the former
manager of Jack Dempsey fig-
ured in the bout but his name
popped up so often in the testi-
mony the commission ordered
five-year suspensions for him,
as well as for Trammell, James
Buchanan, manager of the
Youngstown, O., negro, and
Jimmy Brady of Detroit, Adam-
rick's manager.
Adamriek, protege of Kearns
and hailed as the man to beat
Joe Louis "in another year or
two", was suspended for a year.
"The Illinois commission will
ask affiliated commissions in
New Yory, California and Mis-
souri to recognize these suspen-
sions," said Chairman Joe Trin-
er. "I don't know what action
the rest of the states will take."
"This alleged fight between
Trammell and Adamriek has
been declared no contest," Trin-
er added.

Speed King Out
For New Record
NEW YORK — (UP) — Capt.
George E. T. Eyston of Eng-
land, world automobile speed
king, left by plane for Utah
where within the next month he
hopes to pilot his silver "Thun-
derbolt" over the salt flats to
a new record of at least 333
miles an hour.
Capt. Eyston, who establish-
ed the present record of 311.42
miles an hour at Bonneville,
Utah, last November, refers
to his 333 target as "the magic
threes."
The world's fastest land trav-
eler said he was confident of
boosting his record "if the salt
flats are in good condition" be-
cause of improvements made on
his seven-ton 3,600-horsepower
motor monster in which he
wrested the record from Sir
Malcom Campbell last Novem-
ber. Major improvements includ-
ed lengthening of the nose and
tail and additionally streamlin-
ing the cowling to reduce air
resistance.

less for the remainder of the
