The American hopes were brighter at the conclusion of the play than ‘ had been expected. The United | States pair virtually was conceded I the doubles victory. But nobody had counted on the distinct fall I from form displayed by Crawford. | He was visibly nervous in the first I set, losing the first game of that i set on his own service, having committed three double faults. Had it not been for the brilliant play of Quist the Americans might well have won in straight sets and surely would have won the sets i they did by wider margins. Tomorrow Crawford plays Sidney B.

Baltimore Grappler Is Reported Set for Hard Go With Slagel

Lou Plummer, the rough and tumble Baltimore mat husky, will be aiming toward two objectives here tomorrow night at Sports Arena when he clashes with Sol Slagel. the powerful Kansan, in the main go on the Hercules A. C. wrestling card. First of all. the former Noire Dame athlete hopes to conquer Slagel and thereby continue a winning streak which he has been enjoying in Indianapolis. And, second, but just as important to Lou. he wants to avenge a defeat that he suffered at the hands of Sol here last winter. The Slagel-Plummer tussle has stirred up considerable interest among Hercules fans, and the bout promises to be filled with action. Sol tassed Plummer in a one-fall event during the winter season, but the bout tomorrow calls for two falls out of three. Slagel, who scales 230, is listed well up among the prominent heavyweights. He has beaten numerous top ranking grapplers and has won and lost in bouts with Joe Savoldi. Dick 'Texas Tornado) Raines and Jim McMillen wdll meet in a spe-

LET'S co^ CEORCE ' mFISHINC H J

A S all Indianapolis fishermen -G*- know by now the strawboard plant at Noblesville, controlled by the Ball family, Muncie philanthropists, last week was responsible for poisons from settling ponds polluting White river. “An accident” is the explanation of company officials, but 'excuses can not repair the damage. Game wardens who rushed to the scene tell of thousands of dead fish lining the river bank for miles below the plant. Bass, redeye, bluegills, sunfish and catfish, as well as carp and suckers, were dead and dying. “Every living thing in the river was killed for several miles,” said a warden. "It will be many days before we know the full extent of the damage.” A letter from the warden at Noblcsville to officials at the conservation department says, in part: “I don't know what would happen to me if I should make an arrest for an undersize fish with this wholesale slaughter going on. People are raising the devil.” one COTTAGE owners on the banks of the river sadly watched the poisoned, blackened waters creep

past. Many had worked for hours to save a few of the fine, large bass that rose, gasping to the top of the oxygen-depleted river. All manner of receptacles were pressed into use, pumped full of clean water, and the stricken fish placed therein until the poison tide .had passed, when they were returned carefully to the river. What a helpless feeling these volunteer conservationists must have had as they watched the inexcusable ruination, the destruction of miles of fine fishing water. For every fish they saved, hundreds died and it will be years before anglers can cast a lure there with much hope for success. Swimming in the dark wastes was impossible. Many resorters were driven from their cottages by the intolerable stench of the decaying fish. non “TT was an accident, the wall of of the settling pond broke.” That is the company's excuse. But this is not the first time this has happened. The plant is an old offender. Every sportsman knows that the desire to save a few pennies for each ton in the cost of manufacturing a product is the prime reason for stream pollution by industry. “An accident.” That song would sound sweeter if the Ball Brothers strawboard plant at Eaton, Ind., is not alleged to be poisoning the beautiful Mississinewa river in the same manner. Eaton citizens dare not complain too loudly. The plant is their chief industry. It should not be necessary to resort to law to avoid stream pollution. Is there not enough civic pride and responsibility among wealthy factory owmers to make them see their position without a court fight? The question of how money is made should be more important than what is done with it.

The Theatrical World Myrna Loy Gains New Honors in Latest Role Hi VVALI LR D. HICKMAN

SOME weeks ago. I went on record stating that Myrna Loy completely had erased all of her Oriental mannerisms and had become an actress of power and individuality. After seeing “Stamboul Quest,” I am convinced that she is an interesting woman who is growing rapidly and who will do important

things. In this movie she is cast as Annemarie, a spy employed by the Germans durin g the World war. She has worked on the theory that a woman spy can not fall in love and the second she does she will be discovered. And when a spy is discovered, the firing squad is just around the corner. Anne-

marie was given the most difficult assignments but her most difficult one was when she unwillingly fell in love with George Brent who plays the role of Beall, a young American medical student in Berlin at the time Germany first went to war. Beall is an impulsive lad who believes that when a fellow and a girl fall in love they should get married. The real struggle is faced by the woman spy when she goes to Turkey to find a traitor to the German cause. Here is exciting melodrama, well acted and intelligently directed. It is not necessary to give too much of the story because it will destroy some of the suspense. The fact is that Miss Loy turns in a magnificent performance. She has to wear many disguises 'out some of her society clothes are beautiful. “Stamboul Quest” comes under the head of intriguing theater.

are resolved in a manner that gives the circumstances more universal application than is usual in this particular type of fare. “Grand Canary,” starring Warner Baxter as the doctor who has been branded “murderer” by his jealous colleagues and a scandal-loving public as a result of the failure of a serum of his own concoction to revive several patients already as good as dead, is an adaptation of A. J. Cronin's novel of the same name. With his career shattered. Baxter, the misunderstood genius, embarks so- Africa, with drunken determination to dissipate the smashed bits of his life however he may see fit. The unforseen intervention on shipboard of a sympathetic ship's captain; the allure and charm of Lady Mary Fielding, played by Madge Evans; the homely fatalism of come-what-may Roger Imhof and other forces combine to defeat Baxter's will to waste away himself and .his talent. It is his affection for Miss Evans and his willingness to listen to he brief philosophy, that gives his life new significance. Miss Evans, however, has a husband of whom she seems to have tired. He k> at their home in the Canary Islands awaiting her return from her holiday. It remains for the outbreak of an epidemic of yellow fever in the islands to claim Baxter's attention and complete the process of regeneration which started with his meeting with Miss Evans. The epidemic’s influence on this process is all the more effective inasmuch as Miss Evans falls victim to it scourge. Baxter's prompt and prudent use of his own serum saves her life as well as that of many of the natives, making him the miracle man of the hour. Nor is his service to humanity overlooked by his English confreres. The reclamation of the man and the physician is complete. Others who figure in the proceedings are H. B. Warner, as the faithful friend, and Marjorie Rambeau, island proprietress of “a sort of hotel.” Miss Rambeau is loud, but, unfortunately, not so funny. Among the short subjects is a comedy featuring Ernest Truex, popular stage comedian. Now at the Apollo. (By the Observer.)

WAIL ST. SIGNS SWITCHED BY JAMES LANDIS As Japanese Boy Changed the Population So Landis Changes Modes. Jamr M. InnHii l* one of the lew New Dealers who ran speak Japanese. He's a member ol the new serarltiea commission and is the son of a missionarr to Japan, as this article relates. BY FREDERICK C. OTHMAN I'nited Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, July 23. Japan not so many years ago an American missionary was taking his small son for a train ride. When tha train stopped, the son saw a number of little signs, saying so many miles this way to Tokio and so many miles the other to Osaka. He reached out the window and turned all the signs around. That caused a portion of the population of Japan to travel the wrong way before the signs were replaced. It also serves to introduce James M. Landis, the New Dealer, brain truster and legal expert who has switched most of the signs upon which the stock and bond dealers have depended these many | years. Mr. Landis is the man who wrote I the securities act, at President Roosevelt's request. He did such an air-tight job of it that the biggest legal minds in Wall street could find no way to circumvent it. With the act written. President Roosevelt brought Landis to Washington as a member of the federal trade commission to watch over it. Mr. Landis then collaborated in writing the present stock exchange control act. He thus was appointed almost automatically to the fiveman securities commission when Mr. Roosevelt named its members. Mr. Landis is one of the little group of intellectuals who took a lot of joy out of life for most Americans. He admits—in fact is proud—that he helped take much of the fun from bridge, by making it a game of skill and science, instead of one of chance. He hasn’t had much time to play lately, though, and says he will have to read up on all the rulebooks before he dares to try again.
