Eleanor, who quaffed some highballs on board the Manhattan, and otherwise outraged the best traditions of Olympian athletic training, has been staying on in Berlin as an interested spectator, without expectation of taking part in any of the aquatic events. Prof. Brundage had shown her the gate In no uncertain terms, and she didn't even take her bathing suit out of the trunk. But the professor evidently nursed a grudge aganst the pretty backstroke champion.

Through his mouthpiece, Dr. Leo Donath, Brundage informed Mrs. Jarrett that she must not compete in any amateur athletic competition in Europe. This is covering a lot of territory. Eleanor Jarrett is still an American amateur swim swollen from bee stings, she wi drew to meditate.

Guards sweep tens of thousands of acres in seven past and thumb away from the Bohemian riga- mer. Simply because she aroused the wrath of the American Olympic bosses and was figuratively kicked out of the Berlin contests, is no reason why she should be ordered off the continent, by Brundage. There will be a good deal of sympathy on Art Jarrett's side If he goes through with his lawsuit. Art probably doesn't need the money, but it would do him good to see Brundage spanked by a civil court jury. This country made no complaint when the commander of the United States Olympic group ruled its star backstroke swimmer out of the game.

The people figured that rules are rules and in an amateur contest the contestants should obey them. But what Eleanor does in Berlin now is no business of Brundage's.

We know about both situa-tions in Kentucky, but the assessment habit is the worst. What to do about it?
