THAW MAY GANCEL SKATING EVENTS Today's Olympic Program Called O Bocause of Solt lee St. Moritz, Switzerland, Feb. 15 (UP)—The likelihood of the re- mainder of the winter Olympic being called off grew today aa the thaw which had made the lake unusable —continued. . All of today's program was poat- poned when it was found the ice was unfit for further contests. The committee feared that no | jmore skating would be possible be- cause of the soft condition of the ice. The aphedy Norwegians, who have skated off with most of the hor:rs in the winter games, announced last night that they would leave today to compete in an important mcet at |Oslo, Norway, on Sunday. The American entries will remain for the vest of the tournament hcre. Switzerland's variable weather brought on a dispute over the 10,000 meter race yesterday which for a time threatened to mar the second annual winter sports games. , | After six of the contestants had completed their vaces in the 10,000 | meter event, the chairman of the |skating arrangements committes, | Henning Olsen of Norway, proposed to call off the event because of the soft ice which was rapidly melting under a warm sun. At the time Irving Jaffee of the | United States had defeated the Nor- | weglan champion, Bernt Evensen, |and made the best time of the dwy, 18 minutes, 36 5-10 seconds, { Gustavus T. Kirby, * representing |the American Olympic committee, | protested against the gancellation of {the race. The chanfpionship was | given Jufiee later by the committee. | | However, it was decided that the 10,000 meter race will be held over before the completion of the games without points being awarded, pro- vided the’ice does not thaw too much. | Clas Thunberg, champlon l-ater | of Europe, won the 1,500 meter race for Finland, with Norwegiana' sec- ond, third and fourth, and Ameri- cans occupying the next four )laces. The 50 kilometer ski race was | won by Hedlund of Sweden, whose | | time was 4 hours, 52 minutes, 27 sco- | onds. Forty-onc contestant took part in the event. |cember. His CHALIAPIN'S SECOND WIFE IN NEW YORK She is Former Russlan Refugee and Arrived in This Country Incognito. New York, Feb. 15 UP—Feodor Chaliapin's second wife, whose mar- riage to the opera singer singer had been veiled in secrecy, was in New York today. The present Mme. Chaliapin, who was Mme. Marie Petzhold, a Russian refugee in Paris, arrived on the Mauretania incognito and left the boat without, being recogmized. Her marriage to Chaliapin first became | generally known when she applied to the American consul in Paris for a visa last month, The visa was held up by the consul pending an in- vestigation. Chaliapin left his first wife 21 years ago, but because of her re-| ligion she refused to grant him a di- | vorce. Under the soviet divorce laws, which do not require consent of the second party, he secured a divorce in Moscow last November and mar- ried his present wife in Paris in De- Moscow divorce was granted by a woman peasant judge and cost only a 15 cents stamp. Dis- patches at the time said he had| promised to pay $300 a month ali- mony to the first Mme. Challapin. Dispatches from Paris said his present wife is the mother of several children by her first marriage, all of whom have been adopted by Chaliapin. She was described as about 45| years old, tall, somewhat heavy, iwith gray cyes, fair complexion and dark hair. Christmas Day has been ealled the “day of new clothes,” from an old | French custom of giving court at- taches new cloaks on that day.

In- |timate details of their progress al- {ready are being dispatched by the cnergetic correspondents. The hold- |outs who were so adamant a few weeks ago are falling into line. The | magnates talk of beoming the ama- iteur game for boys throughout the |country. Through it all is that de- lightful air of anticipation and | preparation always associated with {the coming of another baseball cam- paign and, the magnates hope, big- ger and better “gates.” There will be no little concern in the news that comes back from the !training camps scattered from Flori- | da to Caliornia about the perspiring or aspiring athletes, depending on i their age, ability and previous con- | dition of servitude. | Gotham fans want to know whether the 'Jewish hope of the | Glants, Andy Cohen, will fit into the somewhat ample niche vacated by Rogers Hornsby or whether Frank O'Doul, the rejuvenated veteran from San Francisco, swings 2 mean enough club to break into the reg- ular outfield cordon. Likewise it will be of interest to Boston whether Hornsby puts his | expected new dash and punch into the Braves or whether his conversa- tion is as disconcerting to the new club manager, Jack Slattery, as it seems to have been to John M- Graw. STARTING SOUTH How the St. Louls Browns will aseort their new talent in the re- buljding process, what the Benators will do with two such first basemen as Bisler and Judge around, how | caker will fit into Connie Mack's machine, whether Sparkey Adams fills the long-fe't Pirate need for a second baseman and how Kiki | Cuyler fares under Chicago Cub ' leadership are only a_few of the' salient features of the spring frain- ing program. Since the Pittsburgh Pirates ob- taineg Lloyd Waner at bargain rates, chiefl, on brother Paul's recom. | mendation, major league teams have been scanning the family connce- tions of other stars. This research seems to have led to the Yankees signing Nick Moore, |on the advice of his older brother Wiley, whose good right arm had as much to do with the Hugmen's {victory last vear as any other factor. | Nick is also a right handed pitch- | jcr. He has been working in semi- |pro circles of Texas and Oklahoma, |where the Waners got their start |along the road to fame. | The story of Wilcy's acquisition {by the Yankees is a historic plece |of baseball lore. He won something like 30 games in 1926 in the “Sally” tleague but was supposed to be a bit |old for the majors. The scouts |passed him up but not Ed Barrow, |the eagle-cyed business mentor, of |the Yanks. | *“Any man who can win 30 games in any league is worth a tryout,” | said Barrow. Wilcy got his trial and | {led the American league pitchers for 1927. So Barrow’s pronounce. |ment has become baseball policy. secret s now out.

Toronto, Ont., Feb, 15.=iM—Dee fending his government's adminise tration of the liquor contrel act, Premier G. H.
