Jackson. Miss, June 3.-(Speciai) James F. Thames. trustee of the peni- tentiary for the southern district of the state, has just returned from tour of inspection of the several com vict farms, reporting that he found farming operations well advanced and prospects for great crop bright.

Thames states, however, that the convict farms have not been under water. except the 1000 acre farm at Bel mont, Holmes county. where 200 acres are still overflowed.

Rowing-Mystery Sport

Rowing is the sport of mystery Even that veteran, Courtney, was at one time led little astray. and while he had a marvelously finished and polished crew, he found when he came to the race that there was no power in it. Last year. even Rice. one of the most experienced of our coaches, was surprised to find that crew, rowing well, had in the last two weeks overpolished until 1t lost speed.
 This year, at Poughkeepsie, we shall see all kinds of crews. Great interest now seems to be centering upon the Navy and Cornell. with the Pacific crew with an unknown quantity. Columbia is good-better than last year. In fact. all the CT ews look better. Cornell in hard work on the Housatonic showed the most finished form of any of them. and yet seemed to have plenty of power. The Navy Is a little vough- CT but is a powerful veteran crew, which means that they can pull to- gether even when they push the stroke up. They will undoubtedly go out to take the lead from Cornell and keep it.
 COrneII's Problem
 The question is, can Cornell. with it's greater conservation of energy keep near enough to have that con servation tell in the last mile? The coast crews that have come on California. for instance. Hast year had tremendous power. So the crew that comes from the coast this year may be trouble maker even Tor Cornell and the Navy.
 Still at this writing. it looks as if the Navy has a good chance to re- peat its victory of last year.
 The New London race. while lack ing in flavor on account Of the de- feats suffered by the Yale and liar ward crews. will lose none of it's old prestige The partisan feeling IS high. and both crews and coaches are now determined to make their season a success after the various defeats. by victory over their main rival For this reason the race will be one of intense feeling. More than that, it is an undoubted fact that the two crews will improve very materially between now and the day of the regatta.

Women Net Stars Will Take Chances in Draw
 at Wimbledon
By WALTER CAMP Special Corr espondent of The Age Herald (Copyrlght. 1929. by The Age-HornldD

New York. June 3.--Cable advices in hand today reveal the fact that for some time the British tennis au- tEorities were perpiexed by the ques- tion whether or not to have Mrs. Moila Bjurstedt Mallory and Miss Suzanne Lenglen, meet at Wimble- don. on the basis of conceded draw In this way a final match between the two would be assured. with no chance of one or the other dropping by the wayside in the process of playing there. Now. however, 1t has been decided to let the two women take their chances.
 Statements by both women, which have come to hand. would indicate a growing tensity of feeling be- tween the two, which will give their match some added clements of the spectacular, if they meet.

ents have realized their dream in giving the race value of s50.000, And so 1t Is only natural that just now the Belmont stakes of 1922. which will be decided at Belmont park on June 10, should become the center of interest in the summer racing season In America. With the absence of Norwich 1t leaves the roll of prob :. able starters without any out standing figure, and never in re- cent years has 1t appeared so open race. Last year the su- periority of Grey Lag had been granted, and there was little in- terest in the race. In the year before Man O War even more completely deprived It of interest as sporting event. But today there are probably q score of trainers who have very definite hopes of winning the great race, and it would not be all surpris ing to see one of the biggest : tfields of many years going to the post.

Fans Almost Hoaxed


 The announcement that Young Jack Dempsey, of Memphis. will meet Claude Wilson, of Birmingham, at the B. A. c. week from tomor- row night, or on June 12, brings to mind the rumpus caused at the B. A. c. the last time this Memphis scrapper was billed to appear at the local club.
 Lou Gomez, New Orleans ring man, was scheduled to meet Young Jack Dempsey at the local Athletic club In a ten-round scrap. Matters rocked along until the day of the scrap, when it was found that the lad who came over from Memphis and announced himself as Young Jack Dempsey was not that particu- lar ringman at all. Of course, the bout was called off, but for awhile a Bit of excitement prevailed, and there were dire threats of jailing the ambitious young man from Mem phis Finally the matter blew over, though.
 Dave Evans, who Is handling B. A. C. matchmaking for awhile. assert cd yesterday that the real Young Jack Dempsey will be over this time, and no make believe Jack.
 Tompkfns in Nashville
 Tommy Tompkins, B. A. c. match maker, is in Nashville today, hand ling Battling Kelly, of Birmingham. who meets Jack Dalton in ten round scrap there tomorrow. It is Kelly's first fight since he was stopped by Battling Budd couple of months ago.
 Tommy hasn't yet decided just
 how hard . blow he hns been
 struck by boxing being checked
 at the B. A. C. The ring game
 has been Tommy's line for years
 now, and the 1anky promoter,
 manager and matchmaker feels
 something like the ship whose
 anchor can't find bottom in a
 storm swept cove.
 Birmingham's boxing world has reputation on the road today. with Tompkins and Kelly at Nashville and Red Herring at Little Rock.
 Budd-AbeII-Herring Triangle
 Atlanta scribes are agitating a Battling udd-Jake Abell bout these days. Abell is the retired welter- weight champion of the south on co meback campaign, while Battling Budd is the only dixie ringman who has been able to successfully engage Young Stribling, of Macon

The Barons-rest this afternoon, but tomorrow they jump back into the grind with both feet forward Double duty Is the order of the day Mon day, for a double header will be played with the Nashville Vols. Larry Doyle is bringing his Tennessee out fit to Redwood Monday for two day stay. Two games are scheduled. but rained out affair from a series way back in May will necessitate a twin bill Monday afternoon.
 Yesterday the Barons lost their defeat before the Crackers. It was a rainy day affair, but not rainy enough. Showers halted the game, but came too late to save the Barons, and the Crackers were credited with five inning win over Moleys men. Manager Molesworth's pitching se- lections for Mondays twin bill are entirely problematical. The quick succession in which Baronial mounds men have been used the past day or two has jumbled the order up, s1hd dnS OAC OA 1ANG announcement AhAJ be used.
 Statham and whitehiIi
 However, Statham and Whitehill will probably be used, unless Man ager Molesworth decides Phil Nor rison is in shape to pitch. Merry twirled an inning Friday, and may be sent in for his first start in two weeks or more Monday
 The Barons have been losing con- sistently lately. but luck has favored them, and Mobile and Little Rock have also been getting their bumps. The Travellers and Bruins have not greatly increased their lead over the Barons in the pennant race. but raif- birds can't help but look back over the lost opportunities of the week and feel their regrets all over again.
 More Pie For Traynor
 Bouquets at the feet of Young Pie Traynor, former Baronial shortstop, who is now cutting quite few capers in the Pirate infield have been so numerous during the past few months that Pie has had his hands full avoiding trippage from the steadily growing pile. Here's the latest boost for Traynor. as re- corded by Bill Peet. sporting editor of the Pittsburg Dispatch. who slips 1t along to the fans from the Gin cjnnati National league team:
 Tn three years time Traynor
 will be the greatest third base
 man in either league" is the pre- diction made by several of the
 Cincinnati players who were en-
 tertained by the Gibson clan over
 the holiday and from whom the
 Ruccos won three games out of { four.
 The kid Is a wonder" re-
 marked Greasy Neale. He's the
 best looking young player l ever saw breaking into fast company
 and that arm of his-no third
 sacker today can equal him in
 throwing"
 When, the Brooklyn Dodgers
 were here members of that team
 spoke the same way, while
 American league managers with
 whom I have talked since Tray
 nor became known as good
 prospect, congratulated Barney
 Dreyfuss on landing such prize.
 Traynor is only kid. He will
 be 2l years old next fall. Since
 last October, 1921, and until the
 time he joined the Buccos for
 spring training, he grew exactly
 one inch In height. He has not
 begun to fill out. In addition
 to this he loves to play ball His
 heart is in his work and he has
 improved wonderfully since the
 season opened.
