BIRMINGHAM RIDER PROVES SENSATION
 OF ATLANTA RACES
Gene Walker Breaks Ten Mile Record and Grabs Off the Motor
 cycle Title

Atlanta, June 5.-There was
 considerable distribution of second
 and third prizes at Lakewood Tues
 day. but all the first prizes remain
 ed in one locality. This locality
 happened to be MT. Gene Walker of
 Birmingham.
 If ever we are compelled to go any where real fast we know of no bet ter method of getting there than to get up behind MT. Walker on his mo- torcycle. This slendid, trim young ath- lete thrilled a fairly large crowd at Lakewood by his spectacular riding around the red oval.
 He won the one-mile time trial from a flying start in 47 Is seconds. He won the three-mile race in minutes 31 2-5 seconds He won the eight-mile race in minutes and 59 seconds. He won the 10-mile race for the southern cham pionship in minus 1S1-5 seconds.
 And in winning this race he es-
 abolished new southern record for
 10 miles. His riding in this race
 was superb. He tore around the
 tuINC% ahu NCHy S%AHohh SA~ VhA AA~7
 motor. He was given a great ova-
 ton every time he flew past the
 grandstand.
 Memo Lancaster, the Atlanta boy, who was the southern champion up to yes terday, was unable to defend his title, due to an injury he received in the five-mile race. He and Hamilton Springs, another Atlanta boy, were mixed up in a bad spill at the north west corner of the track. Memo blew a tire and went over and Springs, com ing behind him, hit the fallen machine and did high flip in the air. It looked like a sure fatality, but neither boy was seriously hurt, and after oeinS rushed to the hospital and bandaged up they returned to the track and saw the final event. It was miracle they escaped death or permanent injruy.
 Yet it must be admitted that Memo would have had little chance to have retained his championship against Walker. Previous to the injury, Walker had defeated him in the time trial and the three mile race. Walkers Indian cycle had the most powerful motor on the track and this, with his wonder ful driving, made him invincible.
 In only one race was Walker pushed, and that was in the elSnt-Inlie eNeH1' in which speed Wolfe, riding Harley Davidson, kept neck and neck with him for about five laps. In the final lap, however, Gene pulled away and won by a comfortable margin.
 Motorcycle races are wonderfully ex- citing. A fellow can get some of the greatest thrills of lifetime as he watches those reckless demonds dash around the track and take the turns. .r,. he a permanent thing for Atlanta Next year let's have the biggest affair of it's kind ever held zin the south. These | events deserve the patronage of the | fans, for there is no sport more thrlll- | ing.

Corbett's Daily Letter
 On Greet Sport Topics
By JAMES J. coRRETr


 Those who wagered a little money that the Cubs and Red sox will repeat in their respective circuits are growing very ap- prehensive. And well they should be.
 Junetime has arrived, and both favortes in the race are still we'll down in the rut The inability of the Bostonians to get started is a distinct disappointment to their rooters and tremendous sur prise to baseball as a whole. The world champions so far have played nearly 300 points behind their usual spring form, and show no real signs of improvement They have lost, not so much because the breaks have been against them. but be- cause they have been soundly trounced by superior looking ball clubs.
 The Red Sox have been famous for years as front runners" Once away in the lead they rarely have surrendered it. Only occasionally in the past have they shown ability to come from behind and romp to the October wire ahead of the rest of the field Maybe they can do it this year, but if such a thing is accom- plished. it will be little less than a mir acle performance.
 At the present time the SoX are some thing like nine games behind the league leaders and anchored rather securely in the Second division. Before they can climb to the top they must bowl over the flying White Sox, the consistent Indians, the much-improved Browns and the bril- liant but cratic Yankees. And that IS tough assignment for even so great a ball cluh as the red -hosed warriors from Bean Town.
 The Cubs situation is not quite so des- perate. but is a discouraging one from the viewpoint of their fans. Although armed with the ''best pitching staff in ba seball." the Cubs have had terrible

DAILY BULLETIN
 FROM THE CAMPS
 OF JACK AND JESS

/ Toledo, O., June 5.-With his heavy weight championship fight with Jack Dempsey less than a month away, Jess
 Willard today settled down to the task of conditioning himself to face his youth- full challanger
 The champion confined his boxing to
 six rounds, ran five miles on the road. tugged at the weights, shadow boxed and
 wrestled. It was the best workout he
 has had since he landed in camp last
 Monday. A capacity crowd, including
 about 300 women. damned the canvas enclosed arena to watch him go through
 his paces.
 Willard fought two rounds with Walter
 Monahan, two with Jack Hempel and one each with Jack Lavan and Joe Sullivan.
 Big Jess worked nicely except for a
 display of bad wind which he is at
 tempting to correct by road work. He
 did not let any of his punches today
 fly with full force.
 Ray o. Archer, business representative
 of the champion, left for New York to- night in an attempt to locate at least two formidable sparring partners, big eilouSn anu piySicdily CdpaDle or swap ping punch for punch with the champion Those in camp at present are considered all right for exercise purposes, but they cannot hit Willard hard enough to sting
 him and he cannot cut loose at them without fear of hurting them Sullivan, a former high school man, whaled away at the champion from the start of their round. Willard promptly lowered his gloves and permitted him to whang away at his jaw and body at will. The titleholder at first stood stii, and when he thought Sullivan had landed enough punches he started head slappin { and had Sullivan missing without even using his arms or gloves in defense Willard has his road work in the vi- cinity of the WillysO Overland Automo- bile plant, home of the rioting two days ago, and Promoter Rickard cautioned him to keep away from the trouble as he feared some of the idle workers might hurl brick.
 Dempsey did not work today aside from taking swim and driving his motor car. He is chafing under restraint, but will not be allowed to resume training until Saturday.

For the Good of
 the Community

O in the world are grown within short distance of Birmingham.
 The strawberries served at the hotels and restaurants and sold by local dealers to housekeepers in Birmingham are about the poorest specimens of that product to be found anywhere Why?
 Cullman, 33 miles north of Birmingham on the Louisville and Nashville railroad, ships approximately 200 cars of strawber- ries every year. They go mostly to Cin- cinnati, Pittsburg, St. Louis and other cities in that part of the country. That is, the pick of the crops go to these places.
 About 150 cars a year are shipped from Sumter county to the north. Livingston, the county seat of Sumter, is little more than 100 miles from Birmingham, on the Alabama Great Southern railroad. All berries shipped from that county to the north pass through Birmingham They do not stop here.
 The biggest berry grower in Sumter county sells his entire crop to one man in Cincinnati, who distributes them through that section
 But only the best berries are shipped to the northern markets. Retail dealers in Cincinnati, for instance, rarely, if ever sell a small or inferior berry from the south. They are all large, ripe and luscious. The Cullman berry has reputation in the mar kets of that city not surpassed by any other.
 Not until the crops grown in that section, in the Ohio valley in both Ohio and Ken lucky, and in Indiana, come in, are small berries to be found in the Cincinnati mar ket. That market IS mentioned because the writer has personal knowledge of it.
 Why does not the Birmingham consumer get some of the large and luscious Cullman or Sumter county berries?
 The answer probably is that the north ern commission merchant buys up the en- tire crop of the Cullman and Sumter county berries and ships the best of them north, leaving the inferior quality for southern consumption.
 Birmingham consumes large quantities of strawberries every year. Just how many crates the writer is unable to esti- mate, but it is not at all unlikely that if the grade Of those offered here were better, the consumption would be greater
 Not only does the Birmingham con- suner get an inferior quality, but he pays just as much for that inferior quality as the northern consumer pays for the best. Ordinarily the best quality of Cullman ber- ries are sold in the Cincinnati markets at 15 cents box, or two for quarter, by the time they begin arriving in quantities. Bir- mingham pays that much or more for the inferior quality.
 Why do the local commission men not adopt the custom of the northern dealers and buy up berry crops grown nearby? Ger tainly they could sell the surplus, after supplying Birmingham's requirements, to northern markets just as easily as the northern commission man does. Then they could distribute at least part of the better grades to their customers in Bir- mingham and make the profits that now go to the northern broker who controls the distribution of this popular southern pro- duct
 Birmingham should be the distributing o;,,4f fo,, fox
