Race Track Will Be Less Than
HaIf-mile In Length

make the race track at the Fair
Grounds one-half mile in length, was
announced by Henry M. Speicher,

lowing report of Mr.. G. J. Altstet-

EX-SOLDER THREATENS
FAMILY; Is BROUGHT HERE
Will Undergo Test of Sanity
Captured Only After Severe
Struggle With State Officers
HAD ARSENAL AT HOME

Martin L. Tomlinson, aged
about 45 years, of Garrett coun-
ty, near Homecoming, who threat
ened the lives of his wife and
five children at their home in
Koontz Mountain, after barri-
cading himself for three days,
was brought to Oakland on Monday
by Sheriff Walter H. Haenftling and
Constable Cecil Ramsey and placed in
the Garrett County Jail, where he is
being held pending an investigation
into his mental condition.
Tomlinson was taken to Cumber-
land last Saturday night after being
subdued by Officer M. A. Katz, of the
Maryland State police. The man, at
the time he was apprehended, had
been drinking to excess, according to
the officers and was apparently suffer-
ing from shell shock sustained during
the World War in which he served as
a soldier.
His wife, Mrs. Artie Tomlinson, will
be summoned to Oakland to testify
at the examination to be conducted
as to his mental condition.
Tomlinson, it is said, after threat
ening to kill his wife and children bar
ricaded himself with his family in his
home for three days and it was not
until Saturday that his capture was
effected. Officer Katz, held at bay for
several hours with two automatic pis-
tolls and shotgun in the hands Of
Tomlinson, finally reached the home
after crawling $50 yards through a
field and in an encounter with Tom
linson was cut upon the forehead
when struck with the butt of revolt
yer.
Tomlinson was disarmed and taken
to Cumberland where he was put in
the Allegany County Jail pending the
arrival of the officers from Garrett
county.
Mrs. Tomlinson and her children,
when found by the officers, were suf-
fering greatly from shock and lack
of food. Mrs. Tomlinson stated she
had tried to sleep for three nights
with a pistol pressed to her heart by
her husband but was afraid to make
an outcry. At the first opportunity
that presented itself Mrs. Tomlinson
sent her eight-year old son Virgil to
Homecoming to seek aid. She said her
husband had been drinking.
When the officers at last succeeded
in gaining entry to the home they
found seven rifles, three automatic
shotguns, four automatic pistols and
twelve thousand rounds of ammuni-
ton of various kinds. He also had
six assorted butcher, skinning and
carving knives, all ground to razor
edge. These were all brought to Oak
land on Monday by Sheriff Haenftling.
Officers believe Tomlinson to be suf-
fering from shell shock. It is said
that Tomlinson served more than 20
years in the United States Army and
has been acting queerly during the
past several weeks.

ORIENTALS MAKE
JAIL OFFICIALS
EARN THEIR PAY

Curiosity and a trend for statis-
tics got the best of Jailer Eddie Nett
after two more Chinese immigra-
ton prisoners were booked at the
county Jail yesterday afternoon,
with the result that extensive re-
search showed 800 Chinese have
passed through the Jail doors in the
past IA months.
Not satisfied with the group fig
ures, Nett began a financial and
statistical research that resulted in
the startling announcement almost
20 Orientals have been received in
the Jail each month during that
time.
Viewing the matter from a finan-
cial angle, Nett estimated that
transportation of the Chinese from
San Pedro to Hong Kong, when
they are finally deported, will cost
at least 5000 each. This, for the
Chinese who have been booked here
in the ID months, reaches a total OF
$4,000 the United States govern
ment must pay for deportation
alone.
The financial outlay in taking
care CT the Orientals is considerably
increased by meals while they are
held in jail, the expense of trans

TENNIS QUEEN
NOT READY TO
ENTER MOVIES
BY wendell BURCH
United Press Staff Correspondent

SAN FRANCISCO, May 81. U.P)-
When Helen Wills became Mrs.
Frederick S. Moody Jr., she assured
the world that married life would
not interfere with her career in
tennis, but hints of q conflict be-
tween them appeared today as she
hesitated between going to England
for the Wimbledon tournament and
staying home with her husband.
For it is the thought of leaving
him for virtually the entire summer
that is keeping her from making a
definite announcement concerning
her plans, she admitted today.
I'D love to go-it would be splen-
did, and want to go if I can ar
range everything" she said. But
TO leave my husband, go sailing off
on such a long and grand tour while
he is staying at home, working
hard-that makes it rather difficult
for me to decide"
Since she desires to arrive in Eng
land in sufficient time to have at
least a weeks practice before enter
ing the match play, it will be
necessary for her to decide within
few days, she said
II am always ready to travel,
/ though, and it is merely a matter
of packing she added. MY rack
cts are all made and are now in
New York"
| She denied rumorS that she might
enter the movies or turn profession
al. The name of Jack Curiey, east
ern sports promoter, and manager
of Bill Tilden and Vincent Richards
was unknown to her, she declared
Curley was quoted as saying that
he had telephoned Queen Helen"
from New York in an attempt to
sign her as professional, with pos
sible hopes of bringing about a
match with Suzanne Lenglen.
Not Interested
Mrs. Moody pointed out the i'm
probability of such a match, even
though she did not turn profes-
sional, since the French player has
not engaged in any tennis matches
for more than two years, and ap-
parently has retired from court
competition.
"As for the MOVIES" have a
busy life already, and I don't think
that ] would be particularly inter-
ested in making pictures" she said
Of greater interest to her al
present is the problem of finding
a studio where she may paint ano
sketch.
She is not adverse to profession
ais, however, and predicted that
open tournaments, in which bott
amateurs and professionals woulo
engage, soon will be allowed in Am.
erica.
TO those engaged in sports il
is apparent that there is a growing
relaxation of the hard lines former.
ly established for amateurs, and g
breaking down of the complex anc
top-heavy regulations which have
burdened professional athletic,
for some time" she said.
She will decide whether to go tt
Wimbledon by the end of the week

Mrs. Moody announced that sht
would play at Forest Hills this sum.

FIGHTERS AND
NOT STARS ON
FRIDAYS CARD

Having found that good fights
the kind the fans like to see-are
more desirable than engaging some
highly touted boxer to meet a set
up, the Imperial Valley Athletic
club has arranged for tomorrow
night another. card without a well
known celebrity on it.
In the past three weeks such
cards have produced fights good
enough to satisfy any spectator and
there is every indication that to-
morrow nights card will be of the
same calibre.
Young David, the sensatione! Fill
ipino boxer, who fought himself to
draw in last weeks main event
after apparently being out of the
running, comes back in the top spot
with Manuel Trevino as his oppon-
ent.
Trevino is more or less an un-
known here but comes we'll rec
commended. He is reported to have
defeated several topnotch coast
boys and to have made life mis-
cradle for numerous others in his
home town of Ell Paso.
David has to make up for get
ting off to q bad start last week,
and he is anxious to get going at
the first crack of the gong tomor-
row night.
Battling Paul, the colored flash
from Brawiey, showed the fans last
week that he is better than he ever
has been before. when he sent Bob
by Ratcliff to the floor in the Sec
ond round of their battle.
Four years out of California rings
have not done the Brawley boy any
damage. He is a real fighting ma
chine and Billy McMullen, whom
he meets in the semi-final tomor-
row night, is likely to find it out
McMullen is from the navy and the
navy boys always know how to take
care of themselves.
Another COB will be seen in the
special spot when George Hamlin
tackles Art Monroy, the veteran
who put up a whale of a fight last
week to win over Louis Reyes. Mon
roy had the Brawley boy on the
floor five times and only Louis
toughness prevented him from TAX
ing the count Monroy has a wal
lop and Hamlin is said to have the
same.
Lorenzo Reyes, the Mexicali
toughnut, will open the show against
Louis Garcia, who has told the
promoter that he is a real fighter
and wants only a chance to prove
it.

MACKMEN MAKE
THINGS TOUGH
FOR OPPONENTS
BY LEO II. PETERSEN

NEW YORK, May 81. U.R)-The
uggernaut-better known as the
Philadelphia Athletics-that Con-
ME Mack has entered in the 1881
American League race is rolling on
toward its third consecutive pen
nant. There have been no changes
in the battle array of the team that
Mack piloted across the finish line
first in the 1929 and 1880 campaigns
and went on to win world cham
pionships. 1t still has its five big
guns. They are accorded plenty of
support by their mates of smaller
caliber.
They take turns, these big guns,
in hammering down their opposi-
ton. Monday it was Earnshaw and
Simmons. Yesterday it was Grove
and FoXx, and today, in all probabil-
ity, 1t will be Cochrane and one of
his mates of lesser renown.
Even the Detroit Tigers, most
formidable of the western entrants,
stand calmly by as the Juggernaut
increases its lead.
They got only two hits off Earn
shaw as he shut them out, to 0
in the first game of the series. Yes
terday they did little better. They
solved the offerings of Lefty Grove
for three hits but were shut out
again, this time to 0.
The victory increased the Athle-
tics leadership to two and one-half
games as the second place New
York Yankees were idle. New York S
contest with Cleveland was rained
out.
Washington advanced to within a
half game of the Yankees by de-
feating the Chicago White Sox, 2
to 0. 1t was hurting duel between
Sam Jones and Pat Caraway.
st. Louis defeated Boston, 8 to 4
in the other American League game.
The Browns piled UP 7-run lead
in the first two innings.
The New York Giants advanced
to within .004 percentage points of
the st. Louis Cardinals, National
League leaders, when they defeated
Cincinnati TO 0 while Brooklyn
won from the Cardinals 5 to 4.
Babe Herman's single brought in
the winning run for Brooklyn in the
ninth inning. The Robins gained
an early lead off Sylvester John
son, but the Cardinals got two of
the runs back in the seventh and
tied the score in the ninth when
they knocked Adolph Luque from
the mound.
Two home runs by Arlett, a rook-
lie, featured Philadelphia IL to 7
victory over Pittsburgh. The hon.
ers were Arlett's eighth and ninth
of the season and gave him the
major league home run leadership
In the other National League con-
test the Chicago Cubs came to life
and overwhelmed the Boston Braves
to 5. The Cubs piled up a six
run lead off Frankhouse and Nc
Afee in the first three innings. :.
