MAY Be GIVEN EDGE
OVER BROKERS' TIP
Most Every Horse in Race,
Though, Conceded Chance
to Win Tomorrow.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
n ALTIMORE, May 12.-With
X the skies overloaded and
IL occasional rain, a heavy,
muddy track was in pros
pect tomorrow at Pimlico for the
country's 3-year -old horses in the
most historic of Maryland turf
events-the Preakness.
Led by Col. E. r. Bradley's
Brokers Tip, fresh from victory
in the Kentucky Derby, the thor
oughbreds will compete over a
mile and hree-sixteenths course
for purse of more than $25, 900
and for the coveted Woodlawn
Cup.
A crowd of 10000 is expected by
Pimlico officials to be on hand to
watch the race.
Notwithstanding the victory by
Brokers Tip in the Derby, he will hard
ly go to the post the favorite. Mrs.
Silas B. Mason's Head Play, a colt she
purchased for $4,000 on the eve Of the
Derby, probably will have more back
ers than any other horse in the fiashy
field.
Head Play. the son Of My Play and
RED Head, has displayed splendid form
in this weeks workouts at Pimlico and
this. coupled with his sterling per-
formance last Saturday, when he was
barely ncsed out by Brokers Tip, has
made him looked upon as the most like
ly winner.
THERE we're other candidates con-
i ceded a good chance to win the
money. AmCng them was LadySman,
the Grague colt from w. H. Goes
stables Although highly favored to
take the Derby, the best Ladyslnan was
able to run was poor fourth place,
two lengths behind the third-piace
Charley O., owned by the R. NJ East
man estate. Charley o. is the only
one of the Derby leaders not entered
in the Preakness.
Among the other candidates was an
other Coe horse. Pomponius; the Ca
tamba Farms Mr.. Khayyam. R. E.
Hughes Silent Shot Willis Sharpe Kill
mel's Dark Winter. Mrs. John Hay
Whitney's Poppyman. Lee Rosenberg S
Kerry Patch, the Wheatley Stables
Utopian. H. C. Phipps' De Valera. the
Brookmeade Stables Inlander and
Tedlu Stables Euryalus.
Almost any of these is looked upon
as a possible winner and turfmen are
expecting the race to be a closer one
than the mile quarter Derby
Col. E. r. Bradley is expected to ar
rive in Baltimore tomorrow to watch
his colt in the attempt to make a
double killing in the two outstanding
Spring race events. Last year his
Burgoo King captured both the Derby
and the Preakness and if Brokers Tip
can do the same this year the colonel's
horses doubtless will have established
some sort of record.

risen only a short distance when

STRANGER DIES
SEEKING AID

MARTINSBURG, w. Va, July
ia woman, about 81, idsnti-
fled as Mrs. Bette Mills Tharpe,
divorced wife of Benjamin Tharpe,
of near Front Royal, Va, was
found dead in the home of Mrs.
Knighton jenkins in this city.
Mrs. Jenkins told officers that
the woman, a total stranger to
her, walked into her home and
asked to rest for a time, saying
she was i'll. After drinking a
home remedy of salt and soda,
Mrs. jenkins said, the stranger
went to a bedroom on the upper
floor. She was not disturbed and
six hours later she was found to
be dead.
DR.. H. G. Tonkin, coroner, said
that while he believed death due
to natural causes, decision as
to an inquest was being withheld
pending. further questioning of
the occupants of the house and
possibly an autopsy.
It was found the woman had
been residing at the home of Mrs.
Frank Zepp here and had come
from Front Royal three years
ago. She had been employed in
a. local laundry.

Jacks twisters. He showed me
how to feint, especially with the

Beats Levinski In Chicago
A month later, we went to Chi
cago for a rough and lively 10
rounder with the up-and-coming
King Levinsky. I won the deci-
sion handily and it proved a fine
tune-up for a bout with Vittorio
Campolo, another "superheavy-
weight" or "dreadnaught" as the
late William Muldoon used to call
us extra big boxers. Compolo is
about an inch taller than my six
feet-six and fraction inches.
The Argentine giant weighs about
80 pounds less than my 264. Like
his fellow-countryman, Luis Fir
DO, Compolo was a hard hitter but
he did not get ahead in the
United States. He had been out
pointed a few times and Ernie
Schaaf had flattened him in the
seventh round about three months
before he faced me.
Madison Square Garden was
we'll filled on the night of Novem-
ber 81, 1881, when the two giants
tore into each other-and we did
tear. Campolo, in the first round,
landed hard on my head three or
four times during exchanges in
which I belted him plenty in re-
turn. Not having to hit down for
the first time in my career, I got
good upswing into my shots at
the tall Argentine, and his legs
buckled almost every time I
landed. The second round was
not old when I readied him with
a left hook and then crossed a
right flush to the jaw. He COL
lapsed and for the first time in
years-Ves, years since 1929-none
charged that my victory was a
fake" or "set-up."
Sails for Home
Well, had to be satisfied with
that novel and synthetic dread
naught" title when I closed my
1881 American tour. Victories
over Campolo and Levinsk y
showed, at least, that Sharkey had
not taken the heart out of me.
My championship ambition wa S
greater than ever.
So I sailed home to Italy and
Sequala, where I was greeted just
as though I we're a champion.

Public demand for the services
and merchandise Of the Wizard
Locksmith Company at 1912 Four
teenth st. N. w. has resulted in
the firms expansion of its SER
vicing and retail quarters.
Formerly occupying a single
store at the above address, the
company has just completed re-
modelling and alterations, and
has annexed the adjoining store
to care for its increased busi-
ness. The additional space al
lows more retail display space
as well as more and larger facil-
tiles for its locksmith and lug
gage repair business.
A new umbrella repair depart
ment was announced by E. L.
Hord, proprietor of the firm.
This department, which is under
the supervision of Mrs. Clarence
Cross, umbrella specialist, is ex-
pected to prove popular to Wash

A special stitching machine for

Primo Learns From Match
With Jack Sharkey

June of 1882, I scored four
knockouts-just as decisive as
that knockout of Campolo-
against Noise Bouquillon (round
q in Paris; Ernest Guhriug
(round 50 in Berlin; George Cook
Ground ~ in London, and Hans
Schonrath (round 81 in Milan.
My improvement following that
Sharkey lesson was marked by
most critics.
In the meantime, money diff
ferences and business detail
check-ups caused the dropping
of Leon See as my manager.
The figures showed that my end
of the 1880 and 1881 American
tours, together with other in
come, must have crossed about
100000. There was a large
shortage in payments to me, and
so Mr.. Louis Richard SoreSi, my
banker, took charge of my af-
fairs. He was then vice presi-
dent Of the Banca Commercials
Italiana Trust Co.

Chapter Seven
By PRIMO CARNERA


Heavyweight Boxing ChampiOn)
Others have often told me that
Jack Sharkey who boxed me on
October IL, 1881, was at the very
peak of form. He was not then
champion. The following June
he did win the title from Max
Schmeling; most critics agreeing
that he was not nearly as good
against the German as he was
when whipping me. And for 10
rounds, 1 believe was in front,
despite that terrific knockdown
when he hooked me with his left
to the chin in the fourth session.
That knockdoWn will long be dis
cussed because of the power Of the
blow that sent my 260-odd pounds
flat on my back.
Though hit with all that Shar-
key could put in a Well-aimed
left hook, my head was but Sligt-
" dazed when my body crashed
to the canvas. I wheeled up in
q second or two and started to
take the count resting on one
knee. Instinctively, looked to my
corner. Monsieur See waved me
to get up; Monsieur Duffy sig
nailed me to stay down. The
noise was fearful. With one eye
on my seconds, the other took in
Sharkey who had run to a neutral
corner. Though partly dazed, I
was lucky to see Jack tag that
corner and come rushing back
towards me just as I was rising
off the knee. He was then right
in the rear of the referee, who
was leaning over, facing the timer
and signalling the count to me
with his right arm. You could
hardly hear anything but the
crowds roar.
Sharkey Grows Furious
Quickly. sensing that Sharkey
would take a shot at my jaw
from right in back Of the referee,
I sank back to one knee. Jack,
angry, protested and rushed to-
wards his corner as if to run out
of the ring. His manager, John
Buckley, mounted the steps and
blocked Sharkey as he was shov-
ing a leg through the ropes. They
bumped a bit, the count came to
"nine," I got up, and the irate
Jack resumed boxing. He soon
found that I was strong despite
that knockdown and I must have
surprised him by my boxing for
the next few rounds.
Jack gave me fearful whaling,
however, in the last five rounds
surely the worst thrashing I ever
anticipate receiving. He was
gracious, indeed, in the dressing
room later. My English had picked
UP a bit and I told him how
clearly he had won and what a
great boxer he was. In turn, he
said I would beat many more
fighters than would bea; me, and
he took my fist, showing me that
I should hold it tight always when
hitting. learned much about
boxing from Sharkey that night.
I saw and felt SO many hooks
that later learned to land them
myself after those cloSe-ups of
