‘HACK’ WILSON
IS ROUGH WITH
THE BOYS AGAIN
CHICAGO, July 5.—VP)—L eon
“Hack” Wilson, the Cubs’ pudgy
outfielder, yesterday added two to
! his list of fistic squabbles.
After being banished from the
field during the afternoon game
with Cincinnati for attacking Ray
Kolp in the Reds’ dugout, Dilson
sent his fist crashing twice into
Pitcher Pete Donohue’s face when
the two teams met at the union sta
tion last night.
“You’re quite a scrapper, aren’t
you?” Donohue was reported to
have said to Wilson. “If you want
any more, come into our car.”
Wilson’s fists shot out twice,
and Donohue fell to the floor, strik
ing his head. While the Reds gath
ered about Donohue and helped him
to his feet, the Cubs hustled Wil
son aboard the train
Railroad offiicals diplomatically
avoided what might have been an
all-night battle by sending the two
teams on different sections of the
same train
The afternoon fight occurred
when Wilson took offense at a re
mark by Kolp, who was sitting in
the Reds’ dugout

Institute Flash In
Colorado Meet
DENVER, Colo., July 5.—(AP)—Ed
die Tolan may not be the “world’s
fastest human,” but so far as the
amateur athletic union is concerned
the little University of Michigan
negro is the 1929 champion in the

more, Tolan can run faster against
Colorado winds than Claude Bracey

the “Glendale Greyhound,” or Rus
sell Sweet of the Olympic club. He
proved that yesterday in the senior
championships.
Tolan won the century dash
against an 18-mile an hour wind in
10 seconds, and bucked a 13-miles
an hour blow in taking the 220 in
21 9-10 seconds.
Against the steady wind that pre
vailed yesterday there was no hope
for records in the sprints. One of
the four new A. A. U. marks regis
tered was on the track, nevertheless!.
R. F. Bowen of the Pittsburgh A.
C. ran 440 yards in 48 4-10 seconds.

WASHINGTON, July 5.—(JP)—
Administration changes in Japan,
Great Britain and the United States
—the three leading naval powers—
are regarded in official and diplo
matic circles here as having
brought to the fore viewpoints fa
vorable to naval reductions.
Since President Hoover was in
augurated March 4, the United
States has taken the leadership in
pressing not only for a world-wide
policy of naval limitation, but for
reduction in fighting fleets, no mat
ter how drastic. Jn connection with
this development, Prime Minister
MacDonald of England, promptly
initiated conversations with Ambas
sador Dawes looking toward a
basis of agreement on the naval
question between the two major
naval powers.
Former Premier Tanaka of Japan,
officially informed the American
government Japan would be whole
heartedly favorable to any steps
which might lead to some solution
of the naval problem, and the lib
eral government of Premier Yugo
Hamagschi, who has just taken of
fice', is expected by diplomatic and
official circles to play an active
part in any disarmament negotia
tions.
Those who have been closely fol
lowing the recent developments
pointed out today that Premier
Hamaguchi is a civilian—the second
non-military or non-naval man to
hold the premiership in Japan.
Tormer Premier Tanaka, his prede
cessor, uras army-trained. It was
believed here the premier, in view
of his civilian background, would
look with considerable favor upon
a conference of “statesmen” rather
than technicians for final discus
sion of the naval question.
The mostintimate problem which
each of the three administrations
has before it is the working out of a
formula on the basis of the “yard
stick” theory urged by High S. Gib
son, American ambassador to Bel
gium. at the recent session of the
league of nations preparatory dis
armament commission. Under this
theory, the naval strength of the
several naval powers would be
measured by relative considerations
of age, armor, speed, and other such
factors in the ships of each cate
gory.
Howley Reported As
Through As Manager
Of St. Louis Club
ST. LOUIS, July 5.—UP)—'The
Glove Democrat says today that
Dan Howley, manager of the St.
Louis Browns, in third place in the
American league pennant chase,
will not be back next year. The
paper says a squabble between
Howley and L. C. McEvoy, vice
president of the club, is responsible.
According to Howley, the news
paper says, McEvoy has been giv
ing orders as to what players
should be used, and Howley claims
Phil Ball, president of the club, is
the only one to give orders and
that it was so understood when he
signed a three year contract which
began with the 1927 season.
Ball is said by the paper to take
the blame and that McEvoy, in or
dering player shifts, was merely
acting for him.
Dustin Farnum,
Veteran Star of
Screen, Is Dead
NEW YORK, July 5.—(A3)—Dustin
Farnum, stage and screen actor, died
unexpectedly last night at the post
graduate hospital where he had
been a patient only a week. He was
55 years old.
Farnum had been in ill health for
about a year, and he went to the
hospital a week ago for treatment,
although his condition was not con
sidered serious. Death was said to
have been due to complications.
The arAor, who had been retired
from both the stage and screen for
more than a year due to his health,
recently had made his home in
Beach Hurst, N. Y. For years he
had lived in California.
His wife, the former Winifred
Kingston; his 4-year-old daughter,
Estelle, and his brother, William
Farnum, survive.
