frich IN special sSO-yard race At
the Yankee stadium last night. de-
jclared today that he had no ex
cnss to offer for his first real de-
feat in scratch race since 1920,
and admitted that the American
was his superior at the distance,
1T least under existing conditions.
Helffrich finished twelve yards

Al. Al. u. officials accounted for
the slow time by declaring that the
cool night air, supplemented by the
fact that the track was badly cut
up by the one-honr race earlier IN
the evening. had prevented the run

/ STATE COLLEGE, Pa, May ~.
SONS Of two former major league
baseball stars are attempting to
follow in the footsteps OF their
famous fathers as members Of the
Penn State freshman baseball
squad. it was learned today. One
Is Erwin G. Magee, Of Philadelphia.

Phillies' outfielder of former years
and the other is George Jacob
Daabert. Of Schuyllkill Haven. son
Of the late Jake Daubert, who at
the time OF his death was captain
and first baseman Of the Cincinnati
Club.
That the boys have learned hase-
bail from their parents Is indicated
by the fact that Magee IS an out
fielder and Daubert first base
man. According to Coach leo
Houck. the boys have shown ability
in practice sessions. although they
have not yet landed regular berths

Post -Intelligencer:
when California passed it's
boxing bill permitting twelve
rounds of mitt singing, the com
mission in charge of tie sport let
it be known that champions would
have to defend their titles. The
commission is still saying the
champs will have to defend their
titles.
"Kid Kaplan has had two fights
in California, and in both he has
forced his opponents to come in
over the weight limit. Bud Rid
ley, former Seattle star, and
Johnny Farr were the goats, along
with the. men who paid through
the window. Mickey Walker has
had two fights also, one with
Colima and one with Cooper. And
in both no title was at stake.
Now Villa is about to be matched
with Jimmy McLarinin, and that
set-to will be non-risk affair Cor
the titleholder also.
"All the. early press notices of
the Lefty Cooper Mickey Walker
fight were to the effect that it
would be a championship affair.
Then a few days before the match
Jack Kearns announced that Coop
er must come in over the weight
limit. But you can't fool even
Californians all the time, and less
than 10000 attended the enter
tainment. Mr.. Kearns may be
the greatest fight manager in the
world, but that's the second noted
battle that he has gummed up.
Future affairs of this kind will
cause Jacks new meal ticket to
be given the merry ha ha, in the
Native Son State at least"

That is uncommon sense for
any judge, whether he be in
traffic court or in q steeple.
The crowd at Louisville was just
as blinded as the jury and was
willing to take the next guys
word as to the winner.
In such a case, when they
can't decide the best horse, the
safest thing to do is to pick the
best jockey and as Sande is un-
disputed Gentleman Godiva of
the world he was unanimously
nominated.
This satisfied the crowd and
they went away wet, happy and
broke. Sande would have won
that race if he'd a been on the
Presidents steel stallion.
Mounted on a hobby horse, you
couldn't have kept him back.
Ebony was such a rank out
slider that he might as we'll have
been hitched to a covered wagon.
Even when Sande agreed to
chaperone him, the Kentucky
children laughed right out in
school.
Down in Kentucky they know
two things-and horseflesh is
the other. They all agreed that
Ebony was put in there just to
make it look more difficult.
True, he had four legs and as
this race was strictly for quad
rupeds, he may have belonged.
So would a zebra.
Anyway, Sande took that
piece of prospective corn beef
by the reigns and naturally
made him look like the finest
morsel of chicken a la king ever
served.
That is the most compliment
tary thing we can think of to
say, particularly as it is Just
about time to go to lunch.

Despite early rush of the Phil
adelphia Athletics, the world
champion Griffmen are favored
generally to win the 1925 pennant.
They are not expected to have a

be BY a wider margin than that
Of 1924 when they tottered in

games.
In the East Philadelphia and in
the West Detroit and, possibly,
Chicago are looked to make things
interesting. It is also quite to be
expected that Babe Ruth's return

Yankees far more formidable than
they have been to date.
Nevertheless, the Griffmen re-
main favored to win their second
successive banner, which makes it
amusing to note the tenderness
Of some Washington fans who be-
come excited at the loss of two
straight games.
Bill Smith Writes.
II ILL SMITH, ring expert for
the Los Angeles Evening
~ Herald, has the following
sage stuff in his column, "Ran-
dom Shots" concerning the recent
Mickey Walker-Lefty Cooper fl
asco in San Francisco:
"Official figures show that the
promoters Of the Mickey Walker
Lefty Cooper, bout in San Fran
cisco last Saturday, lost $4,000.
"They expected a 100000 sell
out but they drew only $25, 700 to
the box office. OF this amount
Walker received $4,000.
"Some day the San Francisco
promoters will realize that boxing
fans ''know their OIL" At no
stage Of the much discussed match
was Cooper conceded the faintest
chance against Walker. The fans
knew it and they declined to pa
tronize an event in which the
prospect Of real competition was
reduced to q minimum"

At a special meeting of the City Council held Monday evening
last, it was concusively shown that a majority of the property
owners within the proposed district do not at the present time
favor paving. N-
When protests were all read and tabulated it was found that
approximately 81 per cent of the area of the district was op
posed to the proposition. Although the law states that the City
Council can order paving to proceed providing that not more
than two-thirds of the property owners object, the Chamber of
Commerce committee took the stand that it would not be desir-
able to force the issue unless at least a majority were in favor.
Consequently the City Council moved to table the paving propo
sition indefinitely.
Paving was defeated for several reasons, principally, however,
because a majority of those who protested, felt that the time was
not ripe. Others felt that the matter of storm sewers, fire alarm
system, etc, should be taken care of first.
the proposed paving program would have put new life into Raw
Inns and would have been a material factor in making this city
one of the leading business centers of the state within the next
couple of years. The fact that at least 80 per cent of the money
been spent with the business firms paying for the paving would
have been a big factor in making business conditions better
than ever before.
1t is up to the people of Rawlins, especially the business in
in the face. Rawlins is prosperous and is certain to be even more
prosperous. Right now a fine new high school is in the course of
construction; within a very short time active work on the $780,,
600 paving program between this city and Parco will start; soon
here and Casper; in this issue of The Republican will be found a
call for bids for the construction Of a new opera house in this
city.
In addition to the work now being done and contemplated for
this spring and summer in Rawlins, several of the large oil COM
panles are making arrangements to start an exceptionally
active drilling campaign in this section.
In view of the prospects ahead of the city it is confidently
believed that the matter of paving our business section is only
stated that as soon as spring opens and they can see Just how
business conditions are here, they will be glad to reconsider the
paving proposition.
Within the next 60 days the entire business situation of this
section will undoubtedly be greatly changed and in consequence
our business interests will feel much differently concerning
paving.
