Members of the I. A A. F. Council will gather tomorrow, but the problem of whether the great Finnish distance runner, under suspension, is to be in the Olympics probably will not be pre- sented until the eleventh congress of :‘he organization is called to order Fri- ay. URMI also is classed among the growing list of stars who parade through the Olympic village hos- pital clinic, but his physicial troubles, namely, a strained achilies tendon, have failed to attract the world-wide interest manifested over his amateur status. On the floor of the executive council the vote stands 5 to 2 against rein- statement, but in the congress session, where the question of writing into the rules the power of the I. A. A. F. to suspend any athlete, with Nurmi's the test case, the line-up may be different. ‘The belated arrival of Ben Eastman, United States’ 400-meter entry, to the scene of activities brought the opinion from the Stanford star that he feels much better than during the final team trials 10 days ago, when Bill Carr of Pennsylvania beat him for the second consecutive time. Eastman, who still has a hacking cough, said: “I weigh a little more now, but I guess I can stand it. I feel much better than I did during the trials.” THER stars a bit dublous as to their condition were Reginald Thomas, Grest Britain; Sylvio Cator, Haiti; Mikio Oda. Japan; Percy Williams, and Jimmy Ball. Canada; Frederick Ried, Great -Britain, and Dr. Paul Martin, Switzerland, all with muscle injuries. Lord David Burghley, Great Britain, and Joe McCluskey, “Penn” Hallowell, and Da. Dean of the United States troupe, have contracted colds. Williams, sprint winner from Van. couver, B. C, in the 1928 games, has been suffering from a slight recurrence of his o'd leg injury which has bothered him-for more than a year. Five of the expected 38 nations are still unreported, but there was a ques- tion as to whether some of these would appear. Liu Chung Chun, sprinter, who i5 China's loce entry, cleared Honolulu Harbor a few days ago. The Cuban ath- letes probably will not be on hand in time for the parade of the nations Sat- arday, while Spain, Portugal and Lithu- ania have not been heard from.

BY ALAN GOULD, Associated Press Sports Editor, OS ANGELES, July 27.—The bal- lots will have to be counted this week end, after a debate con- ducted in at least three separate languages, before it is decided whether Paavo Nurmi makes his farewell Olym- pic gesture in the classic marathon Sunday afternoon, August 7. If Nurmi is victorious at the in- ternational polls, his most difficult bar- rier may have been cleared, for in spite of a strained achilles tendon the great Finn is confident he can win the mara- | thon in record time, Most critics agree with him. If Paavo's suspension stands, how- ever, the crowning feature of the Olym- pic track and fleld program will be a toss-up. The contenders, with or with- out Nurmi as the case may be, rank somewhat in this order: Paul de Bruyn of New York, repre- senting Germany. Tsuda, 1928 veteran, and two Ko- reans, Gon and Kin, representing Japan. A. Toivenen and Willie Kyronen, the Brooklyn baker, representing Finland. Jimmy Henigan, Whitey Michelsen | and Hans Oldag, U. 8. A. TH!.’RI is always, of course, the chance of a “dark horse” galloping home first in the marathon. It is a test where any one of a number 20 YEARS AGO IN THE STAR. LARK GRIFFITH, manager of the Washington ball team, thinks the Nationals have a chance to win the pennant, provided Carl Cashion comes through as a pitcher. Car Department defeated Union Station, 10 to 2, in the Railroad Y. M. C. A. Base Ball League. The win- ners were to play Adams today in an important league game. Hanvey, Kil- !oa: and F. Callow were likely to pitch. Pepco downed Aloysius, 6 to 1, in the Indepndence League. Kidwell pitched well for Pepco. Pepco got to the offerings of Pitcher Jack Leonard after the fourth inning. Murphy and Munch led Pepco's attack. O'Retlly, Aloysius third baseman, played his usual good game. Nick Altrock and Germany Schaefer are making good as coach comedians for the Washington ball team Braddock scored over Printers, 20 to 7, in the Columbia League. Weaver, losing pitcher, was hit hard.

ID you know that besides being good bait, crawfish are darn good eatin'? Step up to the feast. Put the crawfish in a large con- tainer or pail, sprinkle generously with salt and add water, stirring constantly around the edge of the pail with a wooden spoon or stick in order not to injure or bruise the crawfish. Repeat this dose with less salt and a third time with clear water. By now the crawfish are thoroughly cleaned. In another container large enough to hold the crawfish put sufficient Cooking- CRAWEISH [ €0 Decer “n e water to cook them. To this add pound of small sliced onions; % pound of sliced potatoes; one can of tomatoes; 3 sliced lemons; red pep- per and salt to taste. If you wish, one bay leaf and one tablespoon of caraway seeds may be added. This mixture should be boiling when the crawfish are cleaned. Add the crawfish and cook ’til they are bright red. This will take about 5 minutes. Now you can take them out and eat them and if you don’t think they ought to be called fresh water lobster, something’s wrong.
