SIX RACES DAILY
At EBENSBURG

BALTIMORE, May 29.-Follow-
ing a conference with officials
of the Cambria County Fair,
which will conduct the six-day
race-meeting, beginning June 30,
at Ebensburg, Pa, Racing Sec
retary Edward j. Brennan an
nounced today that he would
offer only six races daily.
Horsemen have been asking
Brennan to increase his daily
program from six to seven races.
However, officials of the Cam
bria County Fair, who are ever
on the lookout to please their
patrons, decided it would be
sending the fans home too late
if seven races were offered.
Ebensburg draws its main
patronage from JohnStOwn
and Altoona, Pa, with scores
coming from Pittsburgh.
Were the daily races to
start at 2 p. M, it would
be after 5 p. m. before the
seventh event was run and
this would cause fans great
inconvenience getting home,
rs well as having to con-
tend with cold meals.
Secretary Brennan has been
informed by race fan of this
city, Cumberland, Hagerstown
and Frederick that they would
take in this years session. In
addition. scores of Washingto-
mans have asked for clubhouse
reservations and all signs point
to the forthcoming meeting being
the best in the history of the
EbenSburg track.
Horsemen who plan to take
in the Ebensburg meeting, espe,
cially the stables now racing at
HagerStown, are advised to ap.
ply for stalls at once to Secre.

grip, to compel the right hand
and arm to delay the hitting
action; the other is to so re-
arrange your forward swing
that better timing will result.
Avoid trying to hit. If the club
appears to meet the ball sol
idly, but produces curving
flight, there will be something
wrong with your grip. If you
slice, move your right hand
slightly more on top Of the

JACK PERFECTS
DEFENSE

ORANGEBUR0, N. Y, May 20.
Considerable satisfaction was felt
in Jack Sharkey's camp today.
The Boston sailor boy is rapidly
rounding into splendid shape for
his battle against Max Schmeling,
his handlers said. They were
elated with Sharkey's defense in
his workout yesterday, Johnny
Crosse and King Solomon being
unble to land a solid blow.
Sharkey weiged 201 pounds
after his workout which was the
first since Sunday. The Bos
tonian boxed only three rounds
yesterday and planned to in
crease the length of his workouts
today and tomorrow.

NEW SIGNALS IN
AUTO RACE

INDIANAPOLIS, May %
When the field of starters, moves
away from the pole in the flying
dash for the 500-mile race for
100000 at the Indianapolis
motor speedway tomorrow, the
drivers will be under the juriSdic-
ton of new set of signal flags,
being used for the first time.
Since the inception Of the great
speed sport, the red flag always
has been the starting signal.
There is no explanation for the
strange usage of this color which
all America has been taught to
mean danger. But for many
years it has been the "go ahead"
sign to automobile racing drivers.
This year the go sign will be
green, just as it is on the every
day highway. And red will mean
"stop-the race is halted" For
many years the green flag has
denoted to speedway contestants
that they were on their last lap
only one more lap to have the
white and black checkered flag
waved over them to denote the
finish of the contest.
In the coming race-and
the races to follow, a kings
blue flag will take the place
of the green flag to denote
that the drivers have to
wheel only one more lap OF
the course to complete the
racing distance.
Yellow will mean caution this
year as it has in the past. But
the black flag with the white
center, used in the past to advise
slower driver to move over
to permit a faster competitor to
pass is changed this year to
orange and navy with a blue
circular center. The checkered
flag remains the same emblem
of victory and finish.
"Boy it'll seem funny to
get that green flag in the
first lap and not want to
call 1t quits the next time
around" laughs Phil RED"
Shafer, buxOm humOrist Of
the speedway gasoline alley.
Impressive physical preparations
have been under way by both
drivers and riding mechanics to
prepare their bodies as well as
their cars for the gruelling speed
run next Friday.
Every mechanic, driver, re-
lief driver and relief mocha
mic must pass an exhaustive
medical examination to prove
their fitness to complete IN
the contest.
The hospital in the infield OF
the track. equipped to care for
every possible emergency case,
in charge of competent special
lists has been a busy spot these
days with drivers and mechanics
undergoing the examinations.
X-ray machines used to photo
graph men in other years are
being used to photograph vital
mechanical parts of the cars
this year. Equipment OF the
General Electric Company has
been in daily use by drivers
anxious to discover flaws in i'm
portant working parts Of their
cars. Unusually successful re-
suits have been obtained.

To MEET ALL
COMERS It;
HE WINS

ORANGEBURG, N. Y, May 20.
When Jack Sharkey says this
fight means more to me than
words can express" he means that
he considers his meeting with
Max Schmeling at the Yankee
Stadium on June IL for the
worlds title as one in which he
is called upon by his country to
retain the crown which has be-
come traditional with Americans.
Sharkey also means that he will
retire from the ring if he fails TO
win the title. Only one incentive
will ever bring him back to the
ring if Schmeling wins the title
on June IL. That will be when
the American boxing public calls
upon him to attempt to wreSt
the crown from q foreigner.
Jack Sharkey will reach
the highIight Of his career
when he faces Max Schme-
ling in the Yankee Stadium
ring. The ex-SailOr has earned
the chance to fight for the
worlds heavyweight title.
In his six years career he has
fought all the best men the mod
ern ring has produced. None has
been lodged and Sharkey in these
fights has demonstrated the abil-
ity that is characteristic OF
champions.
If Sharkey fails to win from
Schmeling, then he will have
failed to complete the ring mas
terpiece ne has begun and which
has reached the final-touch stage.
If he is beaten deciSively by
Schmeling his career will come
to an end, but defeat by a
slight margin may only re-awaken
his desire to make his career a
complete one by finally gaining
the heavyweight title.
Sharkey, however, does not
harbor any doubts Of his ability
to whip Schmeling for the crown.
He is supremely confident of
winning, in fact.
As champion, Sharkey will
perhaps remain in the ring
for five more years and it
will then be his ambition to
better the dollar drawing
mark established by Jack
Dempsey, who is estimated to
have lured almost 1O,OOO,OOO
through the gates.
AS champion, Sharkey intends
to fight all comers-any man in
the world deemed as a suitable
opponent. AS champion, Sharkey
intends to be a champion in
every sense of the word, ever
ready to prove his right to the
title as the best big man in the
world.

NET CUP STARS
IN TOURNEY

NEW YORK, May 29.-Davis
Cup players will be strewn all over
the courts of the Orange Lawn
Tennis Club when the Jersey
clubs fifteenth anniversary invi'
tation tournament gets under way
today.
The latest of the Davis Cup
stars to be lured to the wildS OF
Orange for the four-day tourna-
ment by the silver-toned Chair
man Pierson of the tourney COM
mittee, are Manual Llama, Alfonso
linda and Ricardo Tapia, all Of
the Mexican team which was
beaten by the United States at
Washington last week.
Americas Davis Cup team
will be represented by Johnny
Van Ryn, who lives in
Orange; John Hope DOeg, the
third ranking player Of the
country.
Gregory Mangin, Eastern inter
collegiate champion and alternate
on the cup squad, and Berkeley
Bell, the fiery little Texan who
holds the national intercollegiate
crown, and who is also an alter
nate on the American Davis Cup
team.
Three of Canada's Davis Cup
stars-Willard Crocker, DR.. Jack
Wright and Marcel Rainville-
have also been invited to COM
pete. Pierson hasn't received
their entries yet, but he is certain
his persuasive powers will bring
the Maple Leaf Standard-bearerS
into the fold.
The rest of the field is studded
with the names of American net
stars who rank up near the top
of the national listing. Fritz
Mercur, Gil Hall and E m m e t t
Pare, all members of the Davis
Cup squad which was originally
taken to the Philadelphia Coun-
try Club before the final choices
were made, will compete.
So will Ken Appel, ex-
Princeton captain; Donald
Strachan, present Princeton
star; Ned Herndon, DR.. Carl
Fischer, Edward Feibleman,
elongated Harvard alumnuS,
and Jerry Lang, recent win
ner of the North Side tOurna-
ment.
Philadelphia will have the vet
eran Sam Gillipin, Harold Mac.
Guffin and DR.. Carl Fischer en-
tered, while SadakaZu Onda and
Secchi Hemmi are two of the
Japanese stars who will compete.
Eddie Jenkins, Weller B. Evans,
Baisley Sheridan, David Jones
and Sheldon Noyes will represent
the youthful element of the Met
ropolitan district.
Judging by Johnny Van Ryn's
play against Mexico last week
and against Canada the week be-
fore, the youthful Jerseyman
should win his hometown tourna-
ment. He has beaten Willard
Crocker and has victories over
Doeg and Bell in practice matches
during the preliminary workouts
of the Davis Cup squad to mis-
credit.

MY BABY BEEF
BY Lillian Werner

Last year my brother was in the
All Club, his calf won the champion
ship prize at the county fair so he
received a free trip to the Junior
Livestock Show at South st. Paul
where he scored high. This made me
interested so l asked my dad if l

Club. He didn't want me to, but /
begged until he said eyes," and was
l tickled.
First of all I found a good baby
beef. AS / desired roam Shorthorn

one. On December % when / took
him home he weighed $50 pounds.
With much interest in my work l fed
Prudent Prince shelled corn, oil
meal and little alfalfa hay. l
continued doing this increasing his
feed as he grew older. With the ad-
vice of County Agent Nate Bovee and
Club Leader Miss MARCEL Wittwer
he developed nicely and now weighs
around LOO pounds.

it. Good care is necessary. | brush

BEGIN HOME PROJECTS

With little Johnny and Mary off to
classes again, mother is planning to
give herself bit of schooling" dur
ing the coming fall and winter, says
Miss Julia o. Newton, state home
demonstration leader, University

management, nutrition, poultry flock
management and poultry and egg
marketing.
The program for the fall and win
ter series of home projects is now
practically complete with about 20
counties and the city of st. Paul de-
finitely lined up. In each county or
city unit where project is to be CIV
en-, the women have been organized
into community groups of from 10 to
IA members. Two leaders from each
group will attend county training
meetings once a month to receive in
struction from the state home demon

the lessons to the local group. Each
regular project will consist of five
lessons to be given month apart.
The fall series will open in the various
counties from September 10 to Oct

GOODHUE MAN OWNS GOLD
CLOCK 200 YEARS OLD

A clock made in England 200 years
ago, with a mechanism of solid gold,
is owned by Herman Lensch of Good
hue. Bought for 1,20O pounds, or
$4,000, when new, the clock is now
valued at far more than that sum,

precious metal, it value as a work of
art and it svalue as an antique.
The clock has been in Mr.. Lench's
family on his mothers side, since it
was bought by his great-great grand
