ROBERTS, STEELE
 ON AMATEUR CARD \ AT WHITE CITY

New Haven, May 31--one of the best return matches in amateur boxing, a carbon copy contest that has been hanging fire since last winter, was arranged today by Matchmaker Dick Gray who is in charge of the Fresh Air Fund Show to be staged at the White City Stadium on the night of June 6. The bout will present Frankie Angelo, popular New Haven scrap per, against Roberts, fiery little Waterbury bantamweight.
 On the memorable night last winter when Angelo surrendered the duke to Roberts by a technical knockout in the first round 1t meant the end of winning streak that had been run up to P bouts by the New Haven boy. For two over a score of times in succession Angelo went forth to battle and came out victorious. Then he was matched up with Roberts and he went into the bout cock sure that he was again coming out on top.
 Eye Injury
 'IFM I6uL u WdS tO DS 70 ohAuOo AOi the New Haven youth. Maybe he was too cocky to the extent that it made him careless. At any rate he was dropped for a short count shortly after the opening bell sounded and then with only few seconds of the heat to go the re- fierce had to call halt because Angelo was badly cut over the left eye.
 Angelo protested that he wanted to continue, but there was no sense in a bloody sacrifice and the refe- rec was adamant and awarded the bout to Roberts on a technical knockout.
 Since then there have been sev- eral attempts made to get the two of them together in the ring, but Angelo steered clear of all proposi- tons. He had tasted of Roberts punching power in that first round and he didn't take any chances. But finally Angelo was convinced.
 The signing of Angelo and Rob- erts for the stellar benefit card at the White City brings the total of ssadvertised" bouts up to three. Previously Joe Steele, of Water- bury, was booked with Walter starzik, of Springfield, and Al Lev euue, Waterbury, was signed with Johnny Conroy of Ludlow, Mass.

Meyer, who came from no where to win the event in 1928, yesterday scored a brilliant triumph, over the fastest field ever to go to the post. He smashed the course fig ure over the gruelling distance by turning the 200 laps in 4:48:o0.55, for an average of 104.162 miles an hour. The victory brought him $12,750 in prize money.
 Four Killed
 The burning speed at which the 21st renewal of the race was run sent two drivers and a riding me- chanic to their deaths. Mark Bill man, an Indianapolies Boy, was killed, while hundreds of his friends looked on when his car skidded on the treacherous south east turn and crashed into the concrete retaining wall. He was pinned between the car and the wall. Lester Spangler and his fatal injuries when their Miller special crashed into the Universal special driven by Malcolm Fox.
 Two other lives were sacrificed to speed in the qualifying trials last week when Bill Denver and his partner, Bob Hurst, hurtled the north east wall and plunged 20 feet into tree.
 Meyers winning margin was full three laps over Wilbur Shaw, who earned second money for Leon Duray's Mallory special. Chet Gardner in a ampson special. Lou Moore driving a Foreman special, and Stubby Stubblefield. in an Abels- Fink special, finished third, fourth and fifth.
 Knows His Stuff
 Meyers, who scorned relief and stayed at the wheel the entire 50U miles, drove @ beautifully planned race. Although he Mad qualified at a speed of better than 115 miles an hour and knew he had one Of the fastest cars in the field, the Cali fornian refused to join in the sprinting in the first hundred and fifty miles, electing to lay back ana allow Wild Bill Cummings, Fred Brame, Maurie Rose and the other early leaders to set the pace.
 But when the field swept past the 200 mile mark. Meyer, who had been gradually picking up those in front of him, was in sec- .onA place. He held this position until the $50 mile post. when he gave his little car the gun and banged into the lead. Once on ton he was never headed. Meyer made but three pit stops, and was off the track but two and one half minutes.
 Meyer would have smashed the record of 104.144 established by Frame last year by a sounder mar gin had not the numerous smash ups forced officials continually to flag the field.

"STILL" FISHING IS BOYS
 SPORT.
By JIMMY DONAHUE NEA ScryiCC Shorts Writer


 There are days when all the fish. You can offer them flies and wooden plugs galore, but the finny folk just won't see things your way. On such days teh lowly pan fish are on duty to help the fisherman fill his creel.
 The sunfish, blue gills. perch and croppies have always been the delight of small boys and anglers disappointed in their quest for big ger game. Add to these rock bass, strawberry bass, bull-heads, cat fish, suckers and grass pike. and you have an imposing list.
 There's big kick in still fish, ing, though 1t is simpler than casting. A long. slender bamboo pole, which can be bought for all most nothing, is used, and a line as long asAthe pole Is tied on--or a bamboo fiyrod can be pressed into service.
 The hook, of small size, Is tied to the end of the line. and a couple of small split shot sinkers are placed above it. A bobber is then adjusted on the line to depth allowing the hook to be about a foot from the bottom.
 Sometimes pan fish bite on min nows, other times on worms, and they'll take juicy grubworm now and then. When they bite they'll take the bobber under water and, when hooked. will keep it under Then's the time to yank them out
 Generally they run in schools. and it's often possible to get al- most he whole school before they stop biting.

HORSE RACESAT BRISTOL PUT OVER
 UNTIL SATURDAY
Especial to the Democrat)

Bristol, May 31.-Over one thousand enthusiastic horse race fans journeyed to the Bristol race tracks yesterday afternoon, in the rain and unpleasant weather to witness the races which were prom ised for Memorial day, but upon arriving at the track learned that the horse owners and drivers had advised the officials to postpone the races due to the rain and muddy condition of the track, making 1t impossible to give the best in the horses.
 Following conference of offi- cials it was announced that the races would be run off on Satur- day afternoon with all the horses promised for yesterdays racing to take part in Saturdays races.
 Everything was in readiness for the opening of the races, when a heavy downpour caused the post poning of the races. Horses will be stabled at the grounds until Saturday and plenty of action will be promised to the fans on Sat- urday, as the drivers will have plenty of opportunity to get used to the track in their daily workouts and some splendid races will be on the program when the postponed races are held.
 The same program as arranged for yesterday including music by the Bristol Fife and Drum corps will be presented with the first race to start promptly at o'clock.
