NATIONAL RHEA PLANT
 TO OPERATE TO MARCH 15
Superior Court Grants Receiver Permission to Manufacture
 Rayon Yarn
Four Unsueeessful Attempts to Sell
 at Upset Price

The National Rhea Plant will short ly resume the manufacture of rayon yarn fl the Windham county supe- rior court issues a decree similar to that already issued by the Rhode Island superior court. The request to allow the receiver to operate the plant will probably come before the court. now in session in Willimantie, Friday, and 1t is anticipated that the decree will be entered.
 The petition sets forth that the re- ceiver has attempted on four differ ent occasions Co sell at auction the properties of said corporation at the upset price fixed by the courts de- cree and that ne bid for the property has been received; that pending the fling of a petition for leave to sell the properties at public auction, with no upset price. the receiver has an opportunity to manufacture and sell a substantial quantity of rayon yarn; that the profit en the manu- ! facture of said yarn will reduce the expense of carrying and preserving said property pending the sale of said premises
 The receiver prays. and the prayer has been granted by the Rhode Island court, that he may be authorized to accept orders for and to manufacture rayon yarn for delivery not later than March Is. 1880. and that for the purpose of manufacturing said yarn he be allowed to purchase raw rayon in the amount of 10000 pounds.
 Will Begin Manufacturing
 The decree as set forth above was entered in the Rhode Island court Monday. Counsel for the receiver in this state will present q similar peti- tion Co the Windham county superior court As soon as @ Connecticut court order has been recorded the mill will begin manufacturing the yarn As appears from the record the time of operation is limited to March 18th. It is hoped that on or before that date that the affairs of the company will have been adjusted so that the mill may continue operating. This will only be assured when the neees- sary steps have been taken.
 The petition of the receiver diselos- es that the concern has received and Is receiving orders for it's product. notwithstanding it's present status. This may be taken as encouraging for the company's future progress if the situation shapes itself so that the receivership is removed and the plant once more begins operations under some plan of reorganization or under new ownership.

Makes DOGS
ARE HUGE

EN-JOIE HEALTH PARK, EN-
DICOTT, N. Y, May 30.-In the
event Max Schmeling topples
over Jack Sharkey when they
battle for the worlds heavyweight
championship in Yankee Stadium
on June II. will the Teuton Sell
lager be able to fill the shoes OF
Gene Tunney?
Ach, Der Make will be more
than able to fill 'em.
In fact he will flow over in 'em.
When It comes to "dogs" the
fighter from over the Rhine has
pair of "gunboats" that makes
Jack Dempsey or Gene Tunney's
brogans look like gondolas.
That was brought out when
Max, accompanied by George
Neron, visited a local shoe store
recently.
The salesman caught one
glimpse of Schmeling's Dachs-
hunds and pulled out sizes 10"
"TOO small.
"Size Ill"
wrong again.
Then he reaches for the largest
size any store ever carries IN
stock, size "12."
Max squeezed into them but
they pinched. They were too
narrow. Another width, I'D,
fitted to perfection.
Then the salesman glanced at
the feet of Neron and almost
tainted.
Large as were Schmeling's
"doggies," alongside of Neron's
they were only bird dogs along
side of q Great Dane.
Neron was given a card to
the Endicott-J Johnson factory and
the shoemaker there measured
him for a special pair. He called
'em size 13-E.
Incidentally the actual foot

STAS|ASK FACES
SONNENBERG

Stanley Stasiask, the giant Pc
lish grappler, has been obtained
as the opponent for Gus Sonnen
berg for the big heavyweight
wrestling match Wednesday night
at the Washington Auditorium.
Promoter Joe Turner believes
that Stasiask will prove a suitable
opponent for Sonnenberg.
Sonnenberg is recognized in
many States as the legitimate
heavyweight champion by virtue
of his victory over Ed STRANGER
Lewis in Boston in January of
1929. Dick Shikat. the German,
is recognized by the New York,
Pennsylvania and Illinois athletic
associations.
Sonnenberg has appeared here
twice and has drawn immense
crowds on both occasions. Pro
moter Turner has every reason to
believe that Dynamite Gus" will
pull a big audience on Wednesday
night. He has "color" and ap
pealS to local fans.

Memorial Day No Set Up

Memorial Day is an off-day for

sandlotters. Action and more
action is their program with
plenty of games to keep all sec
tions of the city busy, not to
mention the several suburbs.

cost of the better ringside and
grandstand seats Is so much
more than they can afford, that
The Times has arranged to pro
vide some of the reserved $5.25
seats for them, to be distributed
when the train arrives in New
York, as these seats do not go
on sale in New York until the
day of the fight.
Those desiring to take their
field glasses along with them
and occupy these bleacher seats,
or those who wish to go without
fight tickets and buy the $2.l0
admissions and find standing
room in the rear of the Yankee
Stadium, are welcome to take
advantage of the other features
of the trip, including all expenses,
with fight seats included or not,
as the individual chooses.
Patrons of the S525 seats
need only advance the money
for those seats to the rail
road company at the time
of purchasing transportation,
get receipt or claim
check and present it to the
man in charge of the trip at
New York, who will have the
$5.25 seats there when the
train arrives.
Thus, there are few in any
financial condition who cannot
enjoy the sensation, the crowd,
the thrill, the color of a heavy
weight championship fight. Those
who wish to ride in day coaches
and those who wish to ride de
luxe, are equally welcome to join
The Times party.
This fight special is part of
the service of The Times sporting
department to the sporting public
of Washington, and there are no
restriction or limitations outside
of those mentioned above.
The four types of trips ar
ranged for The Times party
include:
Ringside seat, supper, chair
car to New York and lower
berth returning, $45.78.

FOOTBALL LOOP
IS TALK NOW

Although the baseball season
is in it's heights at this time Of
the year, plans for the football
season are not being 2ft undone
by those more interested with the
sport here.
A semi-pro football league, in
Guiding the Mohawks and ApacheS,
is in the making, with Buck
Grier, manager of the Northern
Athletic Club, in back of the
movement.
According to Grier, a meet
ing is to be held next WedneS-
day, June 4, at one of the
local sports stores to discuss
the possibilities. The North
erns, st. Mary's Celtics, and
the KniCkerbOckerS, the latter
to reOrganiZe after several
seasons absence, will make up
the circuit, in addition to the
MOhawkS and ApacheS, with
bA4C A1OAuCSkCduSS O1
a possibility, as probably
others in Baltimore, if fran
chiseS can be gotten 'or them.
The aim is to revolutionize the
sport here next winter and make
for better games, more spirited
competition and better attrac.
tions which have been lacking
with the exceptions of the Mo
hawks and Apaches who have
been the only suppliers of sand
lot football attractions here for
the past five or six years.
A football league with these
requisites would further boom
the sport, is the belief. 1t would
not only bring worthy attractions
here but would help to decide in
a complete way the real cham.
pion of the District and the
champion of Baltimore, if teams
of the latter city were brought
into the circuit.
There is a possibility that
two sections will be arranged,
Washington and Baltimore,
with the two sections play
ing each other at the end of
the season for the champion
ship.
According to Grier all of
the teams mentioned are
highly in favor of such
proposed league although
nothing definite has been
heard from either the Mo-
hawks or ApacheS who prac-
tically rule the football hOri-
ZOn in the District.
Most of the games would be
played at Griffith's Stadium with
Baggett's Field in Alexandria and
the Silver Spring Field, the
Northerns' holdout. possibilities.
Baltimore gridirons would come
in for a large share of the
games also should the Home
steads or others be admitted in
the one section arrangement in
mind.
The outcome will be known
after next Wednesdays meeting
Managers of the respective teams
will iron the movement, out both
pro and con, all in the further.

dian was much closer to the
hole but lost his chance for q
win by putting off the line.
On the tenth Jones' drive
Swas bunkered in front of the
green. Fiddian'S drive was
down the middle and his
second was four yards from
the hole. He missed his first
putt. Bobby came out of the
trap nicely but after putting
once his ball was Stymied. He
jumped Fillian'S ball neatly
for a half.
Fiddian's tee shot was short on
the eleventh, but Jones was pin
high. Fiddian Clipped to the
green, missed a three-yard putt
and took 4. Jones was down
in a par 3.
The Scotchman came back to
win the next hole with birdie

distance in front of the green on
this 314-yard hole. Fiddian's pitch
and run rolled to within inches
of the pin and the crowd ap-
plauded vigorously. Jones pitch
was short and he was down in

The wind took Fiddian's drive
into the rough but he made a
fine recovery, making the green
in two. Jones second was on
the green, too, and much closer
to the hole. They were botn

second was two yards short of
the carpet. He almost hOled
out from this position, his ap-
proach chip skirnming the
hole. Jones Clipped up close
to the pin and sank his putt.
The crowd cheered as Fiddian
walked over and congratulated
