A MODEST head over a small
story deep in the sport page today
quietly announces Midget WolRast
and Frankie Genaro, recognized
flyweight champion, will meet In
q titular fray May 20 at Madison
Square garden. There's more story
here than meets the eye. It means
that President w. G. Carey OF the
Garden Is getting over his temper
with Joe Jacobs Genaro's man
ager.
CAREY has not allowed any
member Of Jacobs stable In the
Garden since he accused Jacobs
and Schmeling OF running out on
him last summer. The Garden head
had a Sharkey- Schmeling bout
practically under way when Jacobs
rushed in and dumped over the
apple cart. Carey got mad enough
TO pull up grass and has kept a
baleful glare on Joe ever since.
Someone has convinced the prexy
that what he thinks OF Jacobs
should not prevent the Genaro-

Historic Rivals Clash On

COLLEGE STATION, Texas,
April l8.-When the Texas Aggies
Of Coach Roswell 'Higginbotham
and the Texas Longhorns OF Uncle
Billy Disch meet IN the first con-
test OF their two-same series on the
Kyle Field diamond Monday, April
81. another chapter in that historic
diamond feud which is virtually as
old as the game Of baseball in the
Southwest Conference, will be en-
acted.
Long recognized as the outstand-
ing rivals OF the Southwest Confer
ence sport world. diamond contests
between the Aggies and Longhorns
would naturally be fraught with
interest and keen competition. but
70 add to this natural rivalry is the
record Of diamond battles between
the two teams in the past.
Evidencing the keen rivalry be-
tween the two teams is the fact
that in each Of the past four years,
the LonghornS winners of seven
teen championships In the past
eighteen years, have had their
title hopes hanging in balance when
they entered their final series OF
the season with the Aggies.
Twice in those four years. In 1926
and 1927, the Aggies finished the
season in second place, and in the
other two years, 1928 and 1929, they
closed their schedule in possession
Of the third rung Of the conference
percentage ladder. A sweep OF the
series in either 1926 or 1927 would
have left the Aggies at the top OF
the heap and in 1929 would have
placed them in a tie with Baylor
for the championship.

In theory, the early part Of the
baseball season Is when the batterS
have the edge over the pitchers,
but the first few days OF the 1880
major league campaign have pro-
vided an outstanding exception TO
this rule.
Few Of the games which have
escaped the rain and cold have
brought heavy hitting, while five,
one third Of the total number play
ed, have been distinct triumphs for
the hurlers. Four moundsmen have
allowed their opponents only three
hits. and one two hit game turned
UP yesterday.

SDr. Rinne's theory, which has

scientific periodical.
Declaring that crystals are
usually regarded as the highest
form of non-living matter and
single cell organisms as the, low.
est form of living things, Dr.
RHINE declares that there is no
difference between the two.
The sperTnS. or male genera

The structure of the molecules
Ia the sperm cells and the crys-
