Locating q Champion.

Naming a heavyweight champion to
pick up where Tunney left of Is now
set for an even more distant date.
Among those who figure are Sharkey,
Loughran, Schmeling and Scott and
one or two more.
The championship of the United
States doesn't mean the championship
OF the world. Scott is still heavyweight
champion of Great Britain. Won Porat
isn't out of the picture by number OF
taps. -.
Schmeling and Hayman are the
German entries. Campolo represents
South America. The winner of the
Sharkey-Loughran battle will have
taken a long step toward the throne
room, but there will be more ground
to cover. Something will also de-
pend upon the decisive qualities Of
these eliminations. To win by a
shade will be nj big boost toward
the top. And by another six months
or another year there may be a star,
youngster who has to be given con-
sideration. There are now two or
three OF those who are improving
through experience and who within
six or eight months may have some
thing to show.
There is a good chance now that it
will take another Summer to name any
outstanding title holder who has earned
his place by cleaning up the best in the
field. Schmeling had a great chance
by stepping out and beating Scott and
then going after Sharkey, provided, of
course, that he could beat Scott. Few
challengers have ever been in better
spot. But either the German or his
managers have gummed up the program
and set the final decision back from six
months to year. There are still many
who believe that Loughran can outpoint
Schmeling or that Won Porat has q
great chance to tag him hard enough to
stop him. But II Schmeling had car
ried out the Scott and Sfarkey con-
tracts he was In position to lead the
pack by mile and at least lay claim to
the title by winning both starts. As It
is now he is just one of several others
just good heavyweight who's getting
nowhere In hurry.

When such pitching stars as Matty
and Alexander remain 1923 victories back
of Young's mark you can begin to estl-
mate the stuff Cy must have carried IN
his arm, his head and his heart. Stand
ing over 6 feet, weighing over 200
pounds, Young in addition to great
arm had a cool head and a stout heart.
He had marvellous control and was at
his best in q pinch where he had to
bear down. He always took the sport
ing chance, rather than the. safe route.
I recall a game he pitched for Boston
against Cleveland around 1907.
There were runners on second and
third with two out and Lajoie up. The
safe plan would have been to walk La
joie, who was batting around $50, and
take a shot at the next man. Young,
however, pitched to Larry and struck
him out. Year after year Cy was good
for a winning turn between Is and 80
games. There has been no other pitcher
who could be as surely counted on to
turn in a winning quota. season after
season. The proof Is that his star sue
cessors are still over hundred winning
games away.

WATCHERS PATROL
 RAVAGED FORESTS
Series Of Disastrous Fires | Sweeps Through Maine Woods

Portland, Me. May IA Gp - Watchers today patrolled the smouldering embers of a half dozen forest fires which swept over nearly 5000 acres in southern and central Maine, destroyed three cottages and a farm homestead and for a time placed several summer communities in jeopardy.
 No estimate of the damage was available today pending an accurate check of the burned districts.
 Heaviest losses occurred on Se- bascodegan Island. south of Bruns- wick. Three fires, starting from sparks blown last night across the mile stretch of Gurnet Bay from a sawmill blaze on Princes Point, roared through 1000 acres contain ing much standing timber.
 National guard units from Bruns- wick and Freeport. 300 Bowdoin college students, coast guardsmen and fire apparatus from Brunswick and Bath mobilized in fire fighting groups. Their efforts were credited

The fires then swept through wooded acreage in the Cranberry Horn section of the town of Harpswell. quickly blocked the road southward to Cundy's harbor and spread away toward the south to burn itself out.
 Much acreage containing small growth was burned over in the town of Edgecohlb and in the Dover sec- tion of the town of Boothbay by an- other fire before a southerly wind burned it back.
 More than 120,000 feet of sawed timber was destroyed by fire which burned over 800 acres in the town of Wells. while another blaze in the 400 acres of small growth.

YEItING CHAMPION READY FOR JOURNEY
hE Hd Cloths for mp to
 Nldo6l Capital

Yosterday was . great day for rersa Chiaravalloti. the 1929 cham pien in tho city spelling contest. Ac- conspsnied by the Herald spelling bee editor and Miss Elizabeth Glastetter. who went to Washington in the summer of 1928 n the Herald's kuest after she had won the city spelling championship, Teresa spent the entire afternoon shopping. pre- paratory to her trip to Washington. either Sunday or Monday of next week.
 Selecting Raphael's Big Store. in keeping with the Herald's custom of permitting the champion to select his or her own place for making the purchases, Teresa 70 arranged her purchases with the help of Mrs Bellini. one of MT. Raphaels efficient saieswomen, 70 that the appropri- ation permitted her to indulge in the purchase of almost everything her heart desired.
 Prior to her shopping adventure Teresa joined the spelling bee edi- tor and her three predecessors at dinner 1t the Burritt hotel as guests of the Herald. Here she was instruct ed on the fine points of her coming trip to Washington by three veterans of earlier days. Miss Glastetter, Marie Hahn and Anna Murphy, who hsn 4h ai1 tn m because she thinks Anna needs a change, coached her between courses as to what she would see and ex- perience in Washington.
 Between the soup and the fish Teresa thought the WaShington's s monument would be just the thing she wanted to see first. Between the roast and the salad she thought she would enjoy some of the country's outstanding institutions. while the thrill of the opportunity of shaking hands with President Hoover added additional zest to the strawberry shortcake.
 It was at this dinner that on the
  alumnae association was formed. The spelling bee editor was elected presi- dent and Miss Murphy was named secretary. Miss Eva Winger. who up to this time has chaperoned all the New Britain spoilers on the Wash- inston trip. was elected an honorary member.
 The association will have for its object aiding and cooperating with the Herald in future spelling bees. It will endeavor to suggest and criti- cize and will meet from time to time to discuss these criticisms with . view to increasing the interest and adding to the success of tho con. tests. Al city champions are select cd from year to year they will automatically become members.
 The association will adopt . name and bylaws at the next meeting which probably will take form of an outing at some nearby park.

MATE Qf RATHER
 KILLS HIS CAPTOR
Charles Snyder, Snake Author. ity, Suceumk to Poisonous Bite

New York, May 14 R-One of the worlds leading authorities on snakes is dead, the victim of the infuriated mate of a rattlesnake he had just ca blurred.
 Charles E. Snyder, former head reptile keeper at the Bronx Zoo and pupil of Dr. Raymond l.. Ditmars, zoo curator, died at Good Samaritan
 hospital, Suffern. N. Y., yesterday from the effects of a snake bite in- hicted earlier in the day while he was hunting snakes in the Ramapo hills.
 Snyder and companion, Paul Snyder, no relative, were on Torn
 mountain, a region known to be in-
 fested with rattlers when the form- CT zoo keeper came upon large specimen.
 He pinned it's head with a forked stick and leaned over to pick it up. The mate if the captive emerged from the underbrush and struck his hand. One fang slashed the flesh, the other made only slight puncture. Snyder concentrated first-aid ef- forts on the open wound, apparently overlooking the smaller puncture. It was through this that the reptile had injected it's deadly venom into a vein.
 The injured man made his way three miles to highway where passing motorists took him to the hospital. Several injections of serum were made but without avail. Snyder was 5S years old. He joined the staff of the Bronx Zoo in 1899 and after 5 years was made head keeper, position he held for five years. He went to the Buffalo zoo in 1a1s as director. After returning to New York he had been employed by
