This gay time, during which Mrs. Jarrett flatly declined to heed hints ithat she would be better advised to return to the athletes' quarters, culminated in the American Olympic Committee's serving a sharp warning, putting the backstroke queen on probation with one more chance" Biundage's words. Heeding this warning Mrs. Jarrett returned to her cabin Saturday night and later resumed training. She did not appear again upon the upper decks until tonight, while the ship was finishing its eight-day voyage and receiving the cheeis of crowds of Germans who lined the banks of the River Elbe as the Manhattan steamed slowly toward Hamburg with its searchlights Illuminating the Olympic flags.

Barring the morning scratches, eight horses will face the starter. Blank Jimmies 10-0 in First Game; Y.M.H.A. Bows to Commodores Merchants -practically assured themselves of top position In the Men's Softball League at Cairns Field last night -when "Scotty1 Fraser's two-hit pitching gave them 10-0 decision over the Jimmies. With only one more game to play, which looks like a setup, the Merchants can only be tied by their nearest rivals, the Commodores. Commodores jumped into second ilace in the loop by defeating the Y.M.H.A.

10-3 in the second slugfest of the scheduled double-header, but Jimmies may upset the Cafe Boys' apple cart by defeating them in the next game. The small crowd of fans on hand Thursday night saw some snappy infield and outfield wvork dished up by the Merchants, with Freddie Kraushar playing bang-up ball be-hand the plate while Walecke in centre field turned in some fine fly snagging. Ettinger in left field for the losers rivalled Walecke's performance on several occasions, by racing in fast on short flies. Merchants started from the first Inning to retire the Jimmies in order and they secured only two safeties off Fraser. Meanwhile the Merchants coasted on a 4-0 score until the last Inning when a real hitting spree netted them six runs.

Behind the effective hurling of Teddy Randall the Commodores had little trouble in downing the Jewish aggregation, although they played good ball for the first three stanzas. Then Randall started a walking parade but soon settled down again to hold Y.M H.A. until the final out. Barsky on the mound for the lOBers follow.ed Randall's tactics later on and with the Commodores picking off the odd hit the score soon became one-sided. FIRST GAME 0 0 0 1 0 0 WINTER NEIGHBOR, unable to keep pace with Scotland Blues in the opening quarter, finished gamely under a strong ride through the stretch and was up in the final stride.

The thrill in this sprint was the battle Mrs. Jarrett Suspended For Violation of Training Rules By ALAN GOULD Associated Press Sports Editor HAMBURG, Germany.

July 23 A bombshell dropped into the midst of the United States forces as the Olympic ship Manhattan reached Hamburg tonight when Mra. Eleanor Holm Jarrett. holder of the Olympic womens backstroke swimming title, was dropped from the team for violation of training rules. After a meeting of the Olympic executive committee as the Manhattan steamed up the Elbe River, Avery Brundage, Olympic committee chairman, gave out a brief statement announcing her suspension. "Mrs.

Eleanor Holm Jarrett has been dropped from the Olympic team and her entry has been withdrawn on account of violations of training rules, Brundage terse announcement said. TO RETURN SATURDAY The chairman added that the backstroke champion had been requested to turn in her uniform and equipment and will be provided return transportation to the United States via the Bremen, sailing Saturday. It was the first case of the suspension of an Olympic athlete In 12 years and the first time any champion ever had been disbarred. The committee, following the failure of previous warnings to take effect, acted summarily on the basis of reports of chaperones of he swimming team and the team manager, Herbert Holm of Boston, who is no relation to Mrs. Jarrett.

It also heard testimony of the official team physician, Herbert Lawson, and the ship's doctor. Mrs. Jairett waa not called to the meeting and Brundage said, she was sound asleep. The climax to Mrs. Jarrett's tempestuous trip was reached tonight shortly before the ship docked at Hamburg at midnight.

She participated in a stateroom party this afternoon and came on deck early this evening, attracting the attention of the athletes and team officials. The committee's action, announced few minutes before landing, supplied the only unpleasant note in a trip otherwise marked by the excellent behavior of the athletes. Brundage said, This is the only violation of training rules that has coma to the attention of the committee. I wish to emphasize that it is no reflection in any way upon the entire team. No other members of the team were Involved In Mra.

Jarrett'a party." Officials refused to divulge the names of other participants. The decision to drop Mrs. Jarrett apparently cost the United States a sure winner In the women's swimming event She was a member of the United Statee Olympic forces in 1928 and 1932 and was overwhelmingly favored to retain the 100 metres backstroke crown she won at Los Angelea four years ago.

She holds the Olympic record of one minute, 3 seconds for the event, made in trial heat at Loe Angeles as well the worlds record or 1.52, for the yards backstroke.

Mrs. Jarrett's difficulties with the Olympic authorities began in consequence of an all-night party which started last Friday night.

After working out today for the first time on the Olympic track, Germany's dash-men wagged their heads disapprovingly when they shook its dust off their spikes. They said the track was too hard and brittle. Work on the rebuilt track haa just been completed under the supervision of experts. Uncertainty, however, enshrouds the real quality of the cinder path on which the track and field stars of the world will struggle for Olympic glory, August 2-9.

Officials described the track fine, but from sport circles it was learned it still lacks the final touch to condition it for new records. Moreover it is said to hava long waves noticeable to the runners, although hardly perceptible to spectators. German officials announced 30,000 carrier pigeons will be released to scatter messages of peace" to European nations when the tolling of the Olympic bell chimes in with the gun salute inaugurating the eleventh Olympic Games on August 1.
