SAY, AUGUST 10, 1935 r J THE MICHIGAN DAILY TAOR THRRIK AY, AUGUST 10, 1935FLOE THBU Prevalence Of Paralysis Halts Scouts' Parley President Roosevelt Stops Flow Of Youths Toward Nation's Capital WASHINGTON, Aug. 9. - UP) -- Boy Scout officials sought today to turn homeward hundreds of Scouts already en route to their international jamboree cancelled last night by Pres- ident Roosevelt because of infantile paralysis in this area.' The jamboree, scheduled to be held on the shores of the Potomac here Aug. 21-30, was called off after a presidential conference with public health officers and Scout leaders. The chief executive is honorary na- tional president of the Scouts. Temporary encampment with ac- commodations for 3,500 Scouts had been completed and foreign contin- gents were already in the country or on the high seas when the cancella- tion was announced. Prevalence of infantile paralysis "is not unduly alarming," a White House statement said, "but the conferees decided it would be for the best inter- est of the Scouts and all concerned to cancel the jamboree." Public health officers said two cen- ters of the epidemic are within 100 miles of Washington. The cities, Charlottesville and Richmond, Va., are within "an hour or two's drive" from the capital, Surgeon General Hugh S. Cumming pointed out. He emphasized there is "no undue prev- alence" of the disease in the capital itself. President Roosevelt himself a vic- tim of infantile paralysis 14 years ago, expressed "very deep regret" in call- ing off the Scout meeting but prom- ised Dr. James E. West, chief Scout executive, he would deliver a speech previously scheduled for the jam- boree, over a nation-wide radio hook- Greenberg Of Tigers Nips Luke Sewell At First Base -Associated Press Photo.

The estimates, which were unoffi- cial, were based on reports of the state highway department and agri- cultural agents. As fair weather broke more than a week of violent rains, the Muskin- gum river, center of the flood, reached a crest of '33.6 feet, 8 feet above flood levels, and then began to fall. The Hocking, Tuscarawas, and Lick- ing rivers also were falling. The state health department rushed three engineers into the area to aid in restoring water supplies through Holmes, Carroll, Tuscarawas, Coshoc- ton, Guernsey, Muskingum, Wayne, Stark, Perry, Morgan, Hocking, Noble and Athens counties, Their job was to make sure that disease does not creep up on the flood sufferers to increase the toll of five known dead and one missing. Battery E, 134th field artillery, Ohio National Guard, meantime pa- trolled streets here and distributed clothing and bedding to refugees. Members of three Civilian Conserva- tion Corps camps gave their aid as well. At East Liverpool, Miss Marjorie McIntosh, 73, who had been missing since Tuesday night's flood, was found today wandering in a woods a mile from Irondale village. She was suffering from hunger and expo- sure. Two were drowned by the high waters and two others were killed by lightning. By JOHN STAHR Usually, along about this time of year a glance back through the early April files brings many a blush to a sports editor's cheeks as he reviews printed promises of glory ahead for various and sundry big league fresh- men - and finds their names now- adays only after a hunt through the bush league box scores. This year, however, the editorial blushes may be replaced by a gentle glow 'of pride in rectitude, for a dog-days check-up reveals the major leagues nearing harvest time with one of the largest and most uniformly satisfactory rookie crops in many seasons. Stirring comeback efforts of such fellows as Wes Ferrell, Ted Lyons, Lefty Grove and Bill Hallahan, among others, have given the old guard plenty of glory this summer, but the younger generation - and base- ball in general - can find plenty to cheer about in the large array of, freshmen and holdover freshmen who have crashed the big show, and stuck. Five Click For Cincinnati With amazingly few exceptions, the rookies. who were really countedon in pre-season forecasts have made their marks, keynoted by the Cincin- nati "kindergarten" where no less than three infielders, an outfielder and two cctchers have proved them- sel rs hig leaguers. Lew Itggs aL third, Captain Billy Myers at .hors and Alex Kampouris at 1,oalUi Qoodman in the out- iield, ard Giiliy Campbell and Henry Erickson, as frequent relievers of Er- nie Lombardi behind the bat, are the cream of the Red crop. The two Chicago entries each have found steady employment for new- comers. Outfielders Ray Radcliff and Vernon George Washington both have proved .300 hitters for the surprising White Sox and John Whitehead is one of the real pitching finds of the year (a phrase oft-turned in April, but not so authentic then as now). Cub Rookies Fare Well Phil Cavaretta, 19 years old and fresh out of high school, has made good with the Cubs, good enough to ease Charley Grimm into full time bench-managership. Frank Dema- ree, who didn't quite graduate as a freshman several seasons ago, has come back to figure largely in the Cubs' new-found drive; and young Jimmy O'Dea hasstuck asba reliable understudy to Catcher Gabby Hart- nett. Not to mention Augie Galan, also playing his first full year under the big top. George Selkirk and Vito Tamulis were the Yankees' two hopefuls, and they've both clicked. Selkirk has overcome early nervousness at be- ing stationed in Babe Ruth's old pa- trol to play brilliantly afield and keep his bat average above the .300 mark. Babe Dahlgren and Mel Almada are regular Red Sox at first and in the outfield, respectively; not great hitters, but Dahlgren is one of the marvels of the year at snaring way- ward throws, and Almada's fielding and base-stealing make him an ace. The Cleveland Indians counted on one rookie - Bozey Berger - and Bo- zey's come through. The Washing- ton Senators figured Jake Powell would make the grade - and he has. The Pittsburgh Pirates looked for no help from brand new rookies other than Cy Blanton - and you know Blanton! The Flowers That Bloom Frenchy Bordagaray - up for a time with the White Sox last year -has become a Brooklyn regular. So has Jim Bucher, an added starter. The Giants didn't figure on using and new talent, and haven't, though Dutch Leiber, who played only, a third of last year; has proved the outstanding "sophomore" batsman of the league. Joe Sullivan, who was a starting pitcher for awhile, is Detroit's only contribution, but the Tigers had no "bloomers," either. Pitchers Orville Jorgens and Jim Bivin, while no world-beaters have stuck with the Phillies. The hapless Browns had no standout prospects, thus no stand- out flops. Which brings us down to the Ath- letics, where the only real disappoint- ment of the whole picture, failure of Alex Hooks to play first base in the manner to which Jimmy Foxx had accustomed Mr. Mack, has been off- set by the sensational fielding and hitting of young Wally Moses. FIRE THREATENS DOCKS BOSTON, Aug. 9. - R) - The Bos- ton waterfront * was threatened for a time this afternoon as fire of un- determined origin broke out in the Quincy cold storage plant, a huge brick structure. Fire apparatus from all sections of the city brought the flames under control with the aid of fireboats. The first unofficial esti- mate of damage was $350,000. - 'TTE ITEET d EW ELER WATCH & JEWELRY REPAIRING Harmsworth Boat Borrows Old Idea Of Alexander Bell BADDECK, Nova Scotia, Aug. 9. - (P)-If the "hydrafoil" boat Bob and Ed Evans of Detroit hope to enter in the next Harmsworth race is built on the design worked out by Dr. Alexander Graham Bell and "Casey" Baldwin, the idea is 25 years old, Baldwin commented here. After helping to give the British empire its first airplane flight, Bell and Baldwin, experimenting' on Cape Breton's Bras d'Or lakes, decided to apply the idea of the airplane to wa- ter craft. They evolved what they called the "hydrodrome," using an air screw propeller and an ordinary motorboat hull, from the bottom of which stuck out "aerofoils"-the marine equiva- lent of an airplane's wings. As the boat's speed increased the foils cut through the water and lift- ed the boat up until at top speed she was clear and there was nothing touching the water but the lower edges of the foils. More than 13 years ago the old HD2, one of the early models, hit 72 knots on the lakes, and Baldwin, now a member of Nova Scotia's legisla- ture, sees 125 knots an hour in sight. But he has bigger plans than speed- boat races for the hydrodrome, be- lieving the idea behind it could be developed into one of the most potent weapons in naval warfare of the fu- ture. What he has in mind is a swift little craft darting smoothly over the sea at more than 100 knots an hour, guided by an invisible hand toward a far-off enemy ship into whose side she would fling a ton or more of death-dealing explosive.
