Lincoln ran the score up on Troy but
the first halfs score was too great
The 3rd quarter score was 2l3 i'll

FOUND GUILTY IN
CONTEMPT CHARGE

LOS ANGELES. Aug. 20. U.P)-
Josef Won Sternberg, film director
was held in contempt of court .oday
for his failure to pay alimony and
fined $500
Superior Judge Lester w. Roth
declined to fine Won Sternberg the
amount of expenses incurred by
Mrs. Ria Won Sternberg, his di-
vorced wife, in coming from New
York to prosecute the charges.
In bringing the contempt charge
two weeks ago Mrs. Won Sternberg
disclosed that she was asking S600.0O
DAMAGES from Marlene Dietrich
German film star, for asserted
alienation Of Won Sternberg's affec-
ton and libel. Won Sternberg coun-
tered by declaring that Mrs. Won
Sternberg in bringing the suits vio-
lated an oral agreement not to ha-
rasS him.
Judge Roth held that Won Stern
bergs refusal was in technical con-
tempt, though Won Sternberg pro-
tested he was acting on advice OF
counsel. The court commented, in
refusing to order Mrs. Won Stern
berg's expenses paid. that If such
a thing could be. she could have

RAIN FOLLOWS IMMEDIATELY
AFTER INDIANS SNAKE DANCE

! WALPAI, Ariz., Aug 20. UP
RattleSnakes acted speedily this
year in responding to a Hopi In
dian snake-danee-prayer-fo rain as
generous showers bathed the state
almost before the reptiles were dry
from being held in the mouths Of
prancing braves.
There must pe something in this
snake business after all" one elder
ly white trader put it. gazing at
the descending rain only a few
minutes after resounding shouts OF
"Hi-Yiuh' h a d ceased echoing
through the canyons and over the
mesa flats of northern Arizona.
Members Of the Hopi snake clan
characterize rattlesnakeS as little
brothers of the underworld in
pleading for rain and returning
thanks for past tavors.
Always, the Indians claim, co the
gods listen to the message of the
snakes. This years sudden response,
however, was a trifle surprising
even to deyout priests who directed
the ceremony.
The dance got underway yester-
day at Mishongnovi. an isolated
village near here. and last night it
rained. The ceremony moved to-
day to this cliff village which was
founded thousands Of year ago by
the ancestors Of present-day Hopis.
The ceremonies were identical,
except the Walpai event OF today,
being witnessed by more outsiders,
was a trifle more elaborate. More
snakes were used and the sobs OF
the walters rang out with a trace
of added sorrow while a lustier
tone was apparent in the Hi Yuih'
cries of the chanters.
Today, as at Mishongnovi, the
penetration Of a shaft Of light
through a hole in the top of ali
underground snake pit started the
dance. Back in the almost prehis-
toric ages the Indians used such de-
vices in telling time. Only once
year will the sun be in line to send
a ray of light through the snake
pit holes.
From the four corners of the
plaza twirlers Of bull roarers sent
their challenge and the high priest
in front of the Kiva passed one or
more snakes to each of the partici-
pants as they filed pass him.
Out over the smooth plaza the
dancers pranced and twisted their
way in time to the cadence of the
walters and chanters. Writing ana
twisting snakes tried in vain for re-
lease from the clenched teeth of the
Indians.
Some Of the larger snakes extend
ed far TO each side of the dancers
mouth, giving him the appearance
of q grotesque being with terri
ble reptilian mustache.
Through the afternoon the snakes
were caressed and fondled but
when the shaft of light was no
more the dancers rushed toward
the plaza center and hurled the
snakes in the center OF a circle Of
sacred corn meal.
After receiving benefits of the
sacred meal the dancers seized
the snakes and hurried to the north
south, east and west-releasiug
their charges on the desert so they
might tell the underworld gods Of
the faith Of the Hopi people.

FLYING NURSERY

due at Roosevelt Field today after
a leisurely summer vacation tour
across the continent from San Di-
ego. Calf.
The three young passengers, child
ren of Edmund T. Price, president
Of the Solar Aircraft Company OF
San Diego. are three -year-old Joan,
Mitzi, nine, and Charles, seven.
They have not only become accus-
toned TO air travel, but view their
daily flights, it is said, with an air
of bored detachment, paying more
attention to their games than TO
the roar Of the motors.
The plane, an all-metal transport
cabin ship. was converted into a
nursery by removing several pas
senger seats. Baby Joan has her
own cot. on which she has slept
during a great part Of the trip. The
older children were amused with
clay modelling outfit. puzzles, cray
ons and drawing books.

TWO FAVORITES
AMONG STARTERS
IN DERBY EVENT
BY JAMES NJ. KERR
limited Press Correspondent

LOUISVILLE, KY, May Is. U.H
Twenty Grand and Mate, week
long choices, continued to rule as
joint favorites today to capture the
57th annual running of the Ken
lucky derby tomorrow.
The chances of the snowy three
year-old of the Greentree stable.
runner-up to Mate in the Freak
ness, were increased yesterday when
the sun partly dried up the track
on Churchill Downs. Prospects are
that the racing strip will be dry,
although not lightning fast, when
the field of probably II horses go
to the post tomorrow.
On dry track, it is expected that
Twenty Grand will be made a slight
favorite over Mate, although the
latter has gained much support
since his victory in the Pimlico clas-
sic. Should the turf be muddy,
Equipoise, 1880 money-winning
champion among juveniles, proba-
bly, will become a favorite.
Pittsburgher, carrying the chief
hope of the west and a great mud
der, has gained little support des-
pite his sensational workouts, while
Sweep All and Spanish play, con-
sidered the best of the other western
candidates, are accorded only an
outside chance by veteran horse
men.
Mate, little heralded until the
Preakness victory, will have an op-
portunity to accomplish the unusual.
Only two horses in history nave
won the PreaknesS and the Derby
in the same year-Sir Barton and
Gallant Fox. Should Mate cross
the finish line first, he would be-
come known as one of the greatest
three-year-o of all time.
Outside of this record-which
only can be tied-only. one mark
can be broken. That is the track
record of 203 2-5, set by old Rose
bud in 1914 None of the mounts
entered in the Derby this year have
chance of piling up record VIM
nings for the season, and it is un-
likely that even the course mark
will be shattered.
A crowd of approximately $4,000
persons is expected to witness the
renewal of the classic. 1t was esti-
mated that about S2,500O0O would
be wagered this year In addition
to that amount there will be thou
sands of dollars handled by book
makers throughout the United
States.
Although there still remained q
possibility that Boys Howdy, owned
by H. c. Hatch of Canada, would
start, indications were that only Il
horses would go to the post.

Hardware Team
Trims Dairymen

Despite an exciting ninth inning
rally which netted them three runs,
the National Diaries, formerly Col
den State Creamery, went down to
9 to 4 defeat at the hands of the
I. V. Hardware team last night, in
the last playground game of the
week on the Wilson field.
The hardware nine, composed of
star CaleXico players. is rated as one
of the most formidable clubs in the
league. Their pitcher, Garcia, set
a record when he famed ii batters
last night. He also got two of his
teams seven hits. Woodland, pitch
er, got three doubles for the losers.
No game is scheduled for tonight.
First weeks standings in the
league find the Shirer Drug COM
pany, Studebakers, Valley Laundry
and Hardware with one won and
none lost for a percentage of 1000,
while the Nevada California Elec-
trio company, National Diaries,
Mack and Mack and Cramer Bak-
ing company teams have lost one
and won none, for a percentage of
900.
