SINGER HAS HURDLE

NEW YORK, May 23.-A Singer,
Bronx idol, must clear one more hurdle
before he wins the right to box Sammy
Mandell for the lightweight champion
ship, and the obstacle appears to pre-.
sent a mental rather than a physical
hazard.
Tonight in Madison Square Garden
Singer meets Ignacio Fernandez, Fill
pino puncher, In a 10-round return
bout and hopes to avenge the knockout
defeat he suffered at Fernandez's hands
year ago.
On form Singer looks like sure win
ner, but whether he can forget the
surprise knockout punch that Fernan-
dez landed the last time they met re-
mains to be seen. Singer, a clever boxer
and deadly puncher with his right
hand, is q two-to-one choice over the
Filipino, who places most Of his reli-
ance upon a fighting heart and an
equally deadly right hand.

Gehrig, hit their best form to-
gether to give demonstration Of
the possibilities Of Bob Shawkey's

and one in the second, while his mates

while the Athletics made five four-bag-
gers In the second contest to tie the
major league record Of 10 In one game.
Gehrig- emulated Ruth's great feat by
hitting three in this game. The big
three of the Yankees, Ruth, Lazzeri and
Gehrig, made II Of the hits, with some
outside assistance from Lyn Larry, while

Two neat pitching jobs altered the
second division standing, sending the

the Detroit Tigers to seventh. while
Chicago and Boston dropped to sixth

BIZ Helen ToUnsend Barton,
Director of Furniture and
Decoration, National Home
Furnishings Program.
Floor coverings are abso-
lutely essential to the Iva
bleness of any room. Rugs,
carpets, linoleums are as
much q part Of the furnish
ings of the home as are chairs
and tables. Skilfully chosen
floor coverings can add
warmth to rooms with cold
north light; give an air Of
spaciousness to small rooms,
,or makesb big rooms seem more
intimate; hold the furniture
together in interesting
groups. The floor has been
called the "key" to a we'll
balanced room.
Consider color first, since
the floor helps to determine
the rooms color scheme.
Rooms facing south or west,
with a warm" light, require
the cooler tones such as soft
green, dark blue or Nraisin,
for rugs. or carpets. With
northern exposure, brighten
up the room by selecting rose
taupe, rust, soft brown, warm
tan. Avoid brilliant tones
which attract too much atten-
tion to the rugs, rather than
serving as backgrounds for
the furnishings.
Living Room. A large, fig
ured rug, in which the colors
blend rather than contrast,
as a rule serves best to bal
ance the massive living room
furniture. Keeping in mind
the room S exposure, select a
rug the colors Of which will
be carried through in the dra-
peries, furniture and uphol-
stery, walls, lamps, pictures
and ornaments. Orientals and
the increasingly popular
American sheen-type rugs in
Oriental designs have always

Color in the
Dining Room

Dining Room. Since this
room is usually visible from
the living room, the floor COW
erings Of each should bear a
definite relationship as to
color. Where a mahogany
or walnut dining suite is
used, the Oriental or sheen
type American rug reflects
the same characteristics as
the highly polished furniture.
Hall. To enrich the hall,
and to restore the ornamental
balance due to scarcity of
furniture, a figured rug of
rich, soft colors is often de-
usirable. In the small hall,
the rug should be as large as
space permits without crowd
ing. The hall rug should sug-
gest in some measure the
color scheme Of the living
room. Broadloom carpeting
and marbled or tile effect
linoleums are also in favor.
Bedroom. New for bed
rooms is the allover carpeting
in hooked rug designs. Ak
minister and Chinese rugs are
also popular here. In limo
leum, the jaspe and colonial
plank-floor effects with scat
ter rugs blend well with colo
nial type bedroom suites.
Other Rooms. In the sun
room, colorful tiled linoleum,
and the grass fiber and Bel
gian marzouk rugs go well
with reed furniture. In the
kitchen and breakfast nook,
the home planner finds a fas-
cinating array Of linoleums.
