S|X-DAY RACES
BACK ONFEET
Bv PAT ROBTNSON

NEW YORK, March 4.-ProS'
perity isn't just around the cor
ner for the sport world. It's al
ready here if the gates for six.
day bike grinds are the perfect
financial indicators they always
have been.
OF course, it is either rank
flattery or poetic license to call
pedal pushing a sport, but in any
event the time destroying fra
ternity are already back in the
important money.
Take, for example, the six-day
grind which closes in Madison
Square Garden tonight. When the
curtain has. been rung down on
whichever team has been elected
to win, the receipts will have
totaled in excess of 100000, paid
in by approximately $4,000 Gus
toners.
At the last bike race here in
December there were only 1858
cash customers and last March
the grind hit an all-time low
with only 27,470 laying it on the
line.
Before the bottom fell out of
the market in 1929. the race
used to draw as high as 100000
but in those days the boys and
girls from the night clubs thought
nothing of paying $3.50 for a
ticket. Now $3.50 is tops but the
crowds are as big as they were
when a buck would get you only
a gin rickey in any Broadway
Speakie.
Exactly 62,994 paid admissions
had been taken in by the Gar
den up to this morning which is
more than the Garden can draw
for any other sport or combina-
ton of sports over a like period
of time. It's a sweet racket out

TENTH 400

Ollie Pacini got his tenth 400"
set OF the year last night, a 400,
and George Honey a 416 set, but
it didn't save Temple from a
two-one shellacking at the hands
of Lucky Strike in the District
League as Earl McPhilomy
handed in a 416 to lead the
Campbellites. Honey had 1865
game.
It was Pacini's second "400' in
the District League. He has had
three in the Temple major loop,
three in the National Capital
League and two in the Holy Name

Records, in fact, were due TO
fall in some profusion tonight at
the annual indoor championships
of the intercollegiate A. A. A. A.,
as athletes from 27 colleges pre-
pared to annihilate distance and
make a fool Of time. McCluskey,
for instance, can't miss against
the games record of 9:17 3-5,
Joie Rays American record of
9:08 2-5 being the young mans
principal objection.
Nor can Spitz miss feet
AZ inches, the games record.
George can do that with a paw
ing block in either hand, Keith
Brown, of Yale, figures to do at
least 13 feet 10 inches for a
new record in the pole vault
and might get up over IA feet
for a worlds indoor mark.
Mile Record May Fall
The only other record that
might go is the 4:12 2-5 for the
mile but Bill Bonthron, Of Prince
ton, must have an inspired night
to get inside those figures.
Bontheron has speed, racing
sense, great "kick" on the bell
and, in fact,only one weakness.
He can't win a race he doesn't
start and it was regarded as
significant this morning that
Matt Gels, his coach, said that
Bontheron wouldn't be asked to
repeat" This means only one
race and that probably will be
the two-mile relay, since Prince
ton, as far as the point score is
concerned, figures to finish be-
hind the back steps.
New York University is gen.
orally favored for the team cham
pionship, with Harvard, Pennsyl-
vania and Yale furnishing the
contention. The latter looked
good enough until last night
when It was said that neither
Crowley nor Kilcullen were likely
to 60 in the shotput.
Not Close Enough
AS for Penn and Harvard, they
will be close but not close enough,
particularly since Spitz, being
sent after his record title in the
broad jump, has nothing to beat.
Pennsylvania, Harvard, Holy
Cross and N. Y. u. all of which
can and will better 3:2O, ought
to send a clinking field to the
post in the mile relay. Carr, the
Olympic champion and worlds
record holder, is ready to go at
last, which means that the man
who ran right over big Ben
Eastman last summer will do
under 48 seconds on the anchor
leg provided the necessity arises.
And I, for one,, have an idea
that it will.

BANKS COMPLAIN OF
TOO MUCH MONEY
Actually Unable to Handle Ire
mendOus Amounts on Deposit

A few weeks ago, several large
New York Savings Banks were
hoping their depositors would start
spending instead of saving. They
had so much cash on hand, they
didn't know what to do.
Living does cost less now, and
some people are able to save more.
For instance, one example of lower
prices is Girard cigar. Girard was
always a dime. But with sales
mounting and tobacco-costs drop
ping, this cigar could be sold for a
nickel. So-without taking away
any of the smoking-enjoyment-
Girard chopped the price in half.
It's a nickel now, and growing
faster than any other cigar!
Tobaccos from three countries
are blended into Girard. Three
shades Of flavor that combine to
make one perfect flavor. Cool,
soothing, aromatic, and mild. Gil
rard "never gets on your nerves"
Slip the cellophane off one tonight
and let that smooth, blue smoke curl

No one idea OF Franklin .. Roose-
welt drew more derisive criticism dur
ing the last presidential campaign
than his plan for putting quarter
million young men to work in refor-
estation projects; nor did any of his
ideas work out any better in actual
practice.
Now the American Tree association,
having done some research. reports
that the late Calvin Coolidge himself
had the same idea before the 1882
campaign began. In one OF the ar
ticles he wrote for the New York
Herald Tribune after leaving the
White House. Mr.. Coolidge said:
IF the government ever needs to
give work to the unemployed, an en-
larged system of reforestation would
be a partial solution, free from OBJ
lection. It would not interfere with
rates OF wages or marketing Of pro-
duction in any existing industries
=. Under cooperation of federal and
local governments, a national policy
of reforestation should be adopted
without delay"

more confessions than they could
readily use. The son confessed to
the crime in an effort to save his
mother from the electric chair"

Then the woman repudiated her

the police had worn her down to
point where she didn't care what she
said and adopted the words they put
into her mouth.
Somewhere in the whole grisly bus
