 "The crazy thing has hoppe1 from view, a lucky thing for all of you. If you were on his back, I know you'd not be safe and sound"
 Back to the castle went the bunch, and Scouty said, T have a hunch that there are lots more things to SC in here. Let's look around"
 The giant, who had been made small, exclaimed, Sure! I don't mind at all. I'll take a nap, while you all search to see what can be found"
 About half an hour was spent, as through big rooms the Tinies went. Then Scouty saw a door that had a window way up high.
 Somebody run and set a chair. I'll stand on it and peek through there," he shouted to the others. Then I'll tell you what I spy" (The Tinies meet a new friend in the next stOry.)

As Duncy on the fat frog sat, wee Goldy shouted, Look at that! the frog is trying to toss him off, but Duncy's sticking tight.
 q hope that when the lad is through, he'll let me have a chance to do the same thing he is doing. I'm sure I would be all right"
 Then Duncy loudly shouted, Whoa! Hey, froggie, I don't want to go much farther. I am getting tired. I think I need a rest.
 You, too, should stop and catch your breath, or you will hop your self to death. This is no way ro treat you. cause, right now, you are our guest"
 Then Scouty cried, "Aw, he won't stop till you are tossed. and take a flop. Then he will disap- pear from sight, and come. back here no more.
 .'He knows we all will want a ride, and that would wear out his poor hide" Just then the frog threw Duncy, and it made the Tin ies roar.
 Gee, whiz, your guess was pret- ty goodi The frog did as you said

 A herd of Brahma steers and strings of buckiing broncos from Texas and Dakota are now in the pens and chutes at the arena await ing the starting signal that VIII send them into action for their tests of brawn against brains and human skill. Cowgirls galore, and pretty ones, too, will be here and their presence will add lots of fresh western color to the rodeo.

Eagle Matched
 With Steve Carr

Another seven round bout. with the earmarks of a headliner, has been added to the May 24 program at tho Arena with the signing of Charlie Eagle of Waterbury, to meet Steve Carr of Meriden.
 Eagle, who has been coming along fast of late, was last seen here in action against Eddie Moore of Bridgeport. It looked like a mismatch to some. for Moore was rated as being too strong for the Brass City boy. but Eagle put all the doubters to rout when he knocked out Moore in the second round.
 He will be gunning for his sec- ond victory over Carr when they meet here. They havn't met since turning professional. but back in the amateurs Eagle decisioned Carr and he aims to repeat.
 The other seven announced by Caroly Is a rematch of Bull Davis, New London, and Jack Renault, New Haven slugger. They fought to a draw in what was voted the best bout on the last card here.

They hope that road trips during the next two weeks will not provo as costly to their pennant aspira. tons as did those of the last fort. night to the world champion Gle ants, which lost out of 13 in the west ard dropped from first to fourth place in the National league standing.
 Tho Tanks open their western invasion to-day against the fast stepping Tigers at Detroit. Al. though New York enjoys Q four. and-n.half game lead in the Amer lean league, Marso Joe McCarthy cannot forget what happened to his club on the choo-choo cars last year.
 His 1888 Tanks were the strong est homo club in the circuit, win- ming 5l and losing only 23. But on the road they won 40 and lost 90.
 Charlie Grimm also is all aflut- ter us his Cubs, occupying second place in tho National division, open In the east against the faltering Philiies. Last season the Cubs were virtually invinciblo at Wrig~ Toy field, but on the highways won 30 while losing 4B.
 Connie Maclx's Athletics, tied for third American berth with Detroit, were also q poor read club in 1883. They open to-day against the George Gibson's Pirates, now lead. ing the National league, start off against the Dodgers at Brooklyn, hopeful of making . betetr road showing than Inst year. Tho third- place Cards, also weak travellers In 1888, tackle tho Braves at Boston.
 One Chance Left
 Meanwhile the Giants, homo at last. will try to snap out of the doldrums while entertaining tho Reds, the only western club from whom they took a serlos while on the road. Memphis Bill Terry ls greatly concerned. His inheld cracked up and Third Baseman Johnny Vorgez slumped 50 badly that Terry actually Is seeking q man to replace him. In addition the champlonB' brll- liant pitching of 1883 has faded. Loroy Papmoleo is out because of m appendicitis operation and no capable replacement has been found. Freddie citzsimmons is not doing so well. This leaves only two dependable winning pitch- CTS, Carl Hubbell and Hal Schu- macher. They cannot do tho work of four. Tho Giants made 20 errors in 13 western games, which is hardly championship ball. If the Torrymen do not find their winning stride in three games with tho Reds, it will Do just too bad, because then como tho Cards, Cubs and Pirates, three formidable west. efn outfits, any ono of which may cop tho pennant.
 No games were played in the ma ajors yesterday. All teams were travelling.

A low hurdler dose not have 10 be as tall or as Timber as q high hurdler, although height and sup pleness are aids.
 The champion low hurdler does not hurdle these days. He just sprints, taking the hurdles as they come in one big stride as though they were not there.
 It is unnecessary for a low hurd- Ter to spend the hours perfecting his form that are required by d high hurdler. Like quarter durancc.
 In low hurdling, the athlete takes the obstacle in stride with his front foot raised just high enough to clear It. The trailing leg is raised , ,erely high enough and far enough al one side to clear the two-foot six-inch barrier. Hurdlers frequently become careless and catch the hurdle with the top of the trailing leg. If should always be remembered to raise the toe. This will save time in clearing the barrier as it will not be necessary to lift the entire back leg so high.
 In low hurdling there is no lift off the ground and nothing re- sembling q jump.
 That the combination of speed and endurance found in quarter milling is also used in low hurdling is shown in the case Of Glen Har- din, of Louisiana State, who last year won both events in the W. C. A. 4. championships.

When the daring BrIton came pvor last year to race his car on hho sands at Daytona Beach, Fla, no was shooting for Q world mark but he fell considerably under 300 miles an hour, although he set Q new record of 272. He expects the difference in the courses may be khe secret of his success.
 Campbell experienced a rough ride at Daytona in 1888. After ho had chalked up his new speed rec ord, he said 1t was the toughest ride ho ever had, "and I'll multiply that 60 times"
 Tho salt bed track as planned hero is expected to give him q smoother course.
 Ab Jenkins, Salt Lake City race driver, has had plenty of oxperi- ence on the salt flats. He has been racing on them for two years, and gave thom extensive tryouts last autumn while rocketing to nearly one hundred new American and world records in m official Amori- can Automobile Association run.
 The ice-iike beds still are in their infancy SO far as speed driving goes. When Jenkins started his attacks on time here, he staked out q ten.mile circular course, ns hard aa q tortoise shell.
 Then he proceeded to chalk up new world record by covering 27i0 miles fin 24 hours.
 Last year Alb returned with n 12- cylinder car and smashed his 24- hour mark and added q flock of others besides. He Is tho only man Co drive 24 hours under official su- porvision in America, and is the same speed demon who, in 1927, drove from New York to San Fran. cisco for a now transcontinentnI record of 77 hours and 40 minutes.
 =,
 Jenkins is fully qualified to tell why tho salt beds arc 50 adapt able for speeding. Ho explains that their big advantage lies in their cooling effect on tires.
 "IInzard of blowouts is mlni- mixed on the salt beds" hc ex- plains, "and there is little danger of ovorturning. Then, too, the smooth surface makes driving much easier"
 Wlluun F. StuIW' CnHppeh !" American representative, who re- centiy examined tho snlt beds, pres diets the English racer will do bet- ter than 300 miles m hour over them. Sturm drove a seven-tone truck over the 12-mile stretch sc- Iected for Campbcll's run and an. nouncod tho course easily would hold up under the thunder Of Campbell's Bluebird.
 T am confident it is the fastest course in tho world," sturm says.
