Spéaking of Sports In view of the downpour of rain In the early hours this morning, all games in the City league scheduled tor this afternoon have been post- poned. The_diamonds at Walnut Hill are nothing but wastes of thick mud and this certainly would not dry out before tomorrow, even if the sun came out early today. ‘Managers of the teams involved in the postponements are reminded of the league rule which states that all postponed games must be played within two weeks after the date of postponement, The various team pilots should make arrangements to play the games off as soon as pos- sible. Flocks of athletes are entering the events for the annual police depart- ment field day according to the num- ber of entry blanks issued at police headquarters. The first actual en- iry to be received was from the St. Joseph Parochial school relay team. This team is one good bet to win the 440 yard relay. Silver cups are heing donated for the various events and it begins to appear a8 if the police athletic com- mittes will have little trouble in se- curing .enough prizes without going | to the expense of purchasing them. Mayor Angeélo Paonessa has donated one cup and the members of the police board have donated another. Several other donations are to be made, it is understood. The officials for the athletic meet have been selected and they include most of the prominent men about the city, who are acquainted with the rules and regulations governing the various events. The police committee is thinking about offering a trophy for the in- dividual athlete who scores the most points in the various events. The deciding tilt in the Inter- Shurch league was protested last night on one of the “one-base-on- a-wild-throw" decisions which fre- quently cause misunderstandings and arguments. Billy Preisser was on second and Billy Fink on first for the St. Matts when Harry Strom- quist, Bible class pitcher, made a wild pitch and both runners moved along. The ball was returned to Stromgquist in the box, but be- fore he could deliver his next pitch Preisser started for home at the head of a double steal. Stromquist threw the ball over Benke's head and Fink followed Preisser over the plate, Both men were called safe and the Bible class protested the game, as- serting that Fink should be held at third as he “was entitled to only one base.” The umpire's ruling was that he had gone to third on the steal as Pre made for home, and that the »ne base” rule allowed him to go fm third to home. T¢ us, although we were not pres- ent ft the particular game to see the play, it appears that a common sense ruling allows the man from second to score. A double steal is started with a man on third and second. The pitcher is in position to pitch. The umpire consider that the game is in progress. Both men start to steal and the pitcher makes a wild heave towards home. One base on the steal and one on the wild throw is the way the umpires, both of them, judged the play. We can't see where the protest should carry any weight. JONAH'S TALE NOT JUST ‘FISH STORY' So Asserts Preacher Who Secks to Prove It Cheltenham, England, July 14. (® —One of the strangest investiga- tions of all times is beings carried on here by the Rev. John Ambrose AWilson, an alumnus of Queen’s Col- lege, Oxford. The Rev. Mr. Wilson is seceking to prove that Jonah was not telling a fish story and that he really in- habited a whale for awhile. Since the publiction of an arti- cle ian the Princeton Theological Review the Rev. Mr. Wilson has been deluged with letters giving him further evidence for his theory that it was physically, biologically and otherwise possible for Jonah to have lived three days inside the whale. The English clergyman now is -preparing another article to con- firm the first. He maintains that Jonah was not the only person swallowed by a whale. He cited two other cases, one of recent times. Recently, however, his attention has been called by correspondents to possible addi- tional cases, which he is investi- gating. He is likewise looking up more confirmatory facts on the two cases already cited. “1 wouldn't advise anyone else to try to book passage on a whale” A\ir. Wilson said. “He would find the mammal's stomach a pretty hot place. The heat within the whale has been estimated at 104 degrees Fahrenheit. “When James Bartley, one of the crew of the whaler ‘Star of the FEast,’ was swallowed by a whale in 1891, near the Falkland Islands, he emerged the next day, after his chipmates had captured the whale, with his hands. face and neck per- manently bleached a sickly white. This was caused by the whale's gastric juices. Bartley said, more- over, that the terrific heat in the whale's belly seemed to deprive him of all vitality.” The second instance upon which the Rev. Mr. Wilson relies is that of Marshall Jenkins, related by the Boston Post Boy in 1771. Jenkins was swallowed by a sperm whale and shortly afterward thrown out upon the wreckage of his boat.

Roosevelt, July 14. —(UP)—Somewhat heckled what they term “sniping from the rear” the United States Olympic team continued to train today so as to be in condition when the Olym- pic games open in Amsterdam the latter part of the month. The sea continued calm and it was stifling hot here at sea. The teams, however, seemed not to mind the weather conditions. The sun bronzed track men—and track women—went through their paces along the track stretched on one of the main decks. They started practice yesterday, a rather light practice, but will whip up as each day passes. The team s somewhat puzzied at the attacks from the United States on certain eligibilities. “The team seems puzzled at this sudden attack from home just as General Douglas MacArthur said to- day. “These fine young Americans do not understand this sniping from the rear but as yet their morale is unaffected and they appear screne one of them.” Word that the New York Ath- letic club had selected a team of runners and jumpers to come here, to show that the Olympic selection committee was wrong, has just reached the Roosevelt. General Mac- ‘Arthur =aid that if a protest or an application was made in behalf of these selections they would be con- sidered by the Olympic committee, He points out that their selection would involve ousting of other mem- bers of the team, inasmuch as Olympic entries are limited to four persons for each event and the en- tries close July 15.

That game gave Red a record of nine victories and two defeats, en- abling him to oust Larry Benton of New York from the pinnacle. Bene ton's records came crashing down about his head in the week-ending Wednesday. First he was removed from a game in Pittsburgh after he had done two rounds of rescue work and his record for innings without relief was at -an end at 152 2.3, Next he was hammered out of a game of his own in St. Louis when Cardinal home run hitters became { unruly in the opening inning, snap- ping his string of consecutive come _Plete games at seventeen. { _In the first of these poundings, Benton was charged with defeat.
