Max Baer May
 Box in Bermuda

New York, July 6. (UP)-Max Baer. heavyweight champion and embryo vaudevillian, may make his first defense of his title on for eign soil, his manager. Ancil Hoff- man has revealed.
 Hoffman is considering an offer of Frank Wilson, race track owner of Hamilton, Bermuda, to stage a no-decision fight between Baer and an unnamed opponent there next April. Wilson has offered to post a guarantee equal to 40 per cent of the Baer-Carnera gate.
 The "no-decision" part of it would enable Baer to escape his contract with Madison Square Gar den, which holds rights to the first title defense. A knockout would be the only way the title could change hands. Hoffman said if the money is up, Batter will fight. The opponent would be named 90 days before the date of the bout.

Wilson's Seek
 Return Game

There seems to be some question as to the baseball game recently played between the Wilson Old Timrs and the Wilson A. c. Some of the youngsters claim that they were not given an even break. due to the fact that all of the veterans were not in the lineup during the game played Wednesday morning, The faces missing from the roster were Bill Moran, Jim Barnes, Gih Henderson, Ed Loftus, Joe Bowen, Jack German, Maurice McGrath and Tom Kearney. All of these fellows have come forward with a declaration that they could form a team that will defeat the club that represented themselves as old timers. They further claim that Eddie Conlan and his club are In \ professional class but that makes little or no difference. It Is the contention of the fellows filing the protest they will take the present old timers for a barrel of hops or whatever stake they may suggest These columns have been suggest ed as a means of continuing tn" verbal tilt until one is actually played on diamond.

Owned by youthful K. J. DICK Reynolds, Winston-Salem, N. C., Dick Reynolds, handsome bay horse, named for his enthusiastic harness horse master, smashed the record for the Edwards pacing stake here to establish new mark of 1859 IA for one heat.
 Neat Driving!
 This feat was accomplished in an almost insurmountable way, since Dick Reynolds, with Harry Stokes up, found himself securely penned in at the head of the stretch by Chief Abbedale and His Majesty. Pulling the horse back with all his strength, Stokes man. aged to maneuyer him around his two rivals speeding almost neck and neck toward the wire. A scant head was all that Dick Reynolds had when the three great side wheelers flash home, with His Ma jesty and Chife Abbedale finishing in practically a dead heat.
 The Edwards, 26-year-old pace at historic North Randall track, proved the outstanding feature of the 1894 Grand Circuits inaugural week. Chief Abbedale, Mabrey up, won the first heat in 2:01, lowering his own record by a quarter sec ond. Dick Reynolds. pulled up, trailed eleventh in this battle.
 Two Horse Heat
 The second heat saw Dick Rey- holds pull his great act. But when the third heat arrived, His Majesty had had enough excitement for Io, l,.O tc n,f battle to death for Dick Rey- holds and Chief Abbedale, with the former again winning in a great burst of speed clocked in 200 1-2.
 Dick Reynolds is the only pacer ever to win the Edwards twice, having copped it in 2:02 IA last year. With the next battle between these hot-wiggling horses scheduled for Toledo, July II. harness horse- dom is looking forward to another great classic over a track regarded as the speediest in America.
 New York, July 6.-(SpeciaD - With new and larger grandstands being rushed to completion at two Grand Circuit tracks, and an ex- tended meeting at Lexington, Ky. the 1894 major league harness loop is taking on greater speed and enthusiasm as it progresses.
 At Goshen, N. T., scene of Grand Circuit races August 1918, and the $40,000 Hambletonian August 15, William H. Cane, sponsor of the speed card, is extending the grand stand there to accommodate greatly increased throng. hich hich reached 30,0O0 last year.
 Nearly Ready!
 Steady ork on the mile trick up- state is putting the harness speed way in ideal shape for the Goshen trots which will follow the 10-day card at Rockingham Park, Salem, N. H.
 News from Lexington is to the effect that an "old-fashioned' rip snorting Blue Grass Grand Cir cult harness meeting will be held there over an extended period from Sept. 24-Oct. 6. With brand new grandstand at the old trotting track, harness race.s will once more be seen at the familiar, color full Kentucky Trotting Horse Breeders associations grounds.
 With the famous futurities at Lexington crowded with fast-step- ping horses. and speedy free-for- all events carded for both trotters and pacers, Henry H. Knight, pres- i,lent of the K. T. H. B. A., predicts I.exington's best time harness races in many years.

TODANS $PORTAPARADE. kAa&HbbDD!
BY HENRY McLEMORE United Press Stan Correspondent

Wimbledon, En-, July 6.-(UP) Charles Muirhead has but one aiEa in life. He wants to live until tho year 1000 so he can be in the grandstand when the first Eng fish baseball player makes a slide into second base.
 Muirhead, who is secretary of the Anglo-American Baseball as- sociation, says he hasn't a chance of seeing his dream fulfilled before the 21st century.
 And I might be a bit too op- timistic in counting on it happen ing that soon," he told me. When I first started spreading the gos- pei of baseball here right after the war, I thought we might develop real players in ten years, but it's going on sixteen now, and my greatest achievement to take is to teach four fellows to drop their bats before running. They might just as we'll carry them, however, for they still insist on skipping first base, and running straight through the pitchers box to sec- ond.
 You see, it's the cricket in their blood. In that game batsmen carry their bats, and after hitting a ball, run directly ahead to the opposite wicket. And you can't breaek 'em of the habit. Even the little kids, who haven't played much cricket, do it. Their father and grandfather and great-grand- father ran straight ahead, and they do it by instinct"
 What about sliding? Couldn't Muirhead teach Englishmen to hit the dirt?
 No. Definitely no. In the first place they refuse to run fast enough to make a slide, and in the second they say it isn't cricket that it's taking advantage of the opposition. Furthermore, they say sliding wuold jolly well bump them"
 What about the hitting?
 They hit pretty we'll. They should hit alright for in my six teen years I've had only one pitch CT who could throw a curve. And it was a pretty sorry roundhouse at that. Most of the pitchers insist on using the same motion as a cricket bowler-you know. that overland business"
 Muirhead, who besides attempt ing to teach the English the game promotes weekly games between teams made up of Americans in London-orchestra players, vaude- williams, bank clerks, and tourists believes, however, that baseball would pay in this country as a spectacle.
 "The English, while they cant play it, like to watch it. I'm posi- tive that if I could bring enough college players or semi-pros over here to form a four-team league the game would go over. Occasion. ally I put on a gams between the Rhodes scholars at Oxford and a team from a visiting battleship and 1t always draws a good crowd The English, especially the middle classes, like the atmosphere at a ball game. It's a relief from the formality that surrounds cricket"

 ! ExPER1-

Mental attitude of golfer is put to the supreme test when he faces a pitch shot over a deep sand trap. A pitch to a wel!-guarded green is the bugaboo of the average golfer, but the star greets it with enthusi- asm, for he knows he can pitch safely to the green. His foremost though is how close he can get to the hole.
 Jock Hutchinson gave a good ex- ample of this mental condition of stars when he won his British title some years ago. He scored a great many threes on par four holes because the pitch over trap was his favorite shot.

The game record and score showed the Rockville A. c. to be the winners over the St Ann All Stars by the score of 5-4. Ac- cording to our severe critics the result should be reversed.

Investigator Testifies.

BY the Associated Press. s.tS
A Trade Commission Investigator
testified today that the Peoples Light
g. Power Corp. lost large sums Of its
subsidiaries securities by using them
for collateral for loans.
John H. Crabtree, the investigato tor,
said the company through the con-
troll of its subsidiaries, apparently" f."
was able to get the securities and
then repledge them.
This company, operating in several
sections including Minnesota and New
England, is now in receivership, Crab
tree said.
He traced its growth from the time
the w. 3. Foshay interests OF Min
sneapolis exercised control, until 1t
passed to G. L. Ohrstrom, q New York
investment banker, in 1927. It was In
his control until the receivership in
1881.
Heavy losses were sustained in Peo-
Piles surplus on account Of its inability
to meet 1t financial obligation" he
said.
Millions of dollars of obligations
to New York banks (secured with
subsidiaries collateraD fell due sub
seuuent to 1929 when an unfavorable
security market prevailed.
Demand was made by the banks
for payment of these obligations
which Peoples were unable to meet
and thereby lost millions Of dollars OF
these pledged securities"
Discussing the period Of Foshay
control, Crabtree reported when he
began acquisition of securities "he did
not have sufficient funds to pay for
them, so that when a contract, involv-
ing a substantial amount, was entered
into by him, a small down payment
was made and the contract was i'm
mediately assigned to Peoples"

NEW DREAMS, La, August 22.-1t
looks as though the revolution against
Der Kingfish will not come off before
election day, September II, If ever.
United States Senator Huey Long
has temporarily withdrawn from New
Orleans, attended by his armed body
guards, thus removing from the scene
Of the indignation the object of all the
resentment. This is the familiar
strategy of the dictator. He annoyed
the citizens of New Orleans and other
urban centers of the State until they
were almost ready to march on his
headquarters in the counter -putsch.
Now, with the most delicate timing.
he has gone away and ceased to annoy
them. When they have had time to
cool off somewhat, the dictator will
come back and irritate them some
more. This has been going on for
years, and though he always make
the citizens very angry he always up
to now has known when to stop.
There is still talk in New Orleans
to the effect that If it is necessary to
smash the dictator to prevent him
from suppressing opposition through
his armed secret police force, patriots
will be found to do it.
The mayor of the city, Semmes
Walmsley, says that the citizens of
New Orleans are not going to stand
for the purchase of votes by Huey
Long. They charge he will try.
Neither, he says, are they going to
put up with any foolishness from the
secret strong-arm force created by
Der Kingflshs Legislature last week.
So there is promise Of carnage only
in the event that Huey undertakes to
go through with his coup on Septem-
ber IL.
If that means revolution, there will
be plenty of precedent for 1t. The
most substantial precedent took place
so years ago when band OF vigilantes
assembled beneath a statue of An
