"A few years ago the newspapers
revealed Just such a case" he said.
The boy entered school at 6, was
graduated two years later, studied
at home two years and, at the age
CT 10, entered high school.
"A few months later he entered
Harvard University where, in the
short time before he was graduated,
he startled the professors by work
ing mathematical problems in the
fourth dimension that baffled even
the professors.
Then the prodigy dropped out OF
sight. A year or so ago, a New
York newspaper, recalling the case,
traced the youth and found him
working, under an assumed name,
rs a SIS a week clerk in a depart
ment store.
"Sobbing that his life already had
been ruined by his abnormal men
tai growth as a child and by the
stories written about him, he re-
fused to be interviewed Immediate
ly he quit his job and returned to

This, in substance, was the COM

newspaper stories telling Of the dis
covery of two child prodigies, one z,
with an intelligence quotient rival
ing that Of the eminent Professor
Albert Einstein, and the other Tx,
with a quotient higher than that of
the professor.
Il don't know of any child prodi-
gies in this city and hope We never
have any," said Mr.. Stetson.
Instead, I hope Indianapolis
children are blessed with only nor
NAL intelligence quotient.
"As a rule, these child prodigieS'
great promises are not borne out.
The unfortunate children burn
themselves out. They are not nor
NAL and lead tragic lives.
They don't fit in with the regu-
lar scheme OF things. The history
of child prodigies is such that the
best I could wish for any child is
that it might lead normal, happy
period of childhood"

OLIVER "HUCKSTER" THoMP-
. SON, who has been near the
top in colored horseshoe circles
for the last four years, is being touted
as a real threat to win the District
title in The Evening Star champion
ships and by many to capture the
metropolitan crown. Thompson was
runner-up last year for District
honors and fell only before the steady
ringing of Lincoln Roots in the finals.
Thompson registered the highest
qualifying score last year and reached
the metropolitan semi-finals, where
he again succumbed to Roots.
Because of his unusual sportsman
ship, "Huckster" carries larger fol-
lowing than any other colored pitcher.
His unorthodox stance of squattlng
when bearing down in the pinches
has won him a flock of fans. He is an
exponent of the open shoe.

l. Hazard of Galesville invites
us on a trip and provides
IL lot of good things to eat upon

along as we wanted. Therefore, we
extended invitations to Kirk Miller,

Harold Rogers, Doran McCarty and
Gus Chinn.
When we arrived at Galesville Capt.
Noah was waiting with two boats,
saying that if we struck into the
blues it would be better to have the
party divided so all could troll. We
started for a trip across the bay to
Poplar Island, place we never
reached. On the way out we were
informed by one of Capt. Hazard s
captains that the blues had been
breaking on our side of the bay be-
tween Holland Point and Chesapeake
Beach. Immediately we dropped an
chor and waited for the blues to ap-
pear. We waited so long that it be-
came too late to go across the bay.
We anchored and still fished, and
then pulled up anchor and drifted,
but the fish were few and far be-
tween. All we're hardheads and only
three were large. The fish were not
biting, but the mosquitoes were. After
getting 100000 or more bites, we
came ashore at o'clock.
Mrs. Hazard had prepared for us a
delectable meal of small blues, crab
cakes, potato salad, succotash, big
juicy tomatoes and other good things.

- hero VS.. villain will be staged
once again at Grifith Stadium
l. y tonight, when Sander Szabo
opposes Gipo Garibaldi in the
feature of Promoter Joe Turner's
twice monthly caulif1ower carnivalS.
Szabo, considered one of the hand
soonest GROWERS in the game and ex-
tremely popular here, especially fol-
lowing what he called a ''queek count"
against him in a recent bout with
Don George, IS, of course, the hero.
The villain part will be played by
Gino Garibaldi, rubbery Italian from
st. Louey.
Both hefties have been up and
down the local build-up ladder in the
past, but what with good showmen not
as plentiful as in the past, there is
every indication that the winner will
get still another dose of Prof. Turner's
brand of build-up-itis.
The winner of tonight's brawl,
which is slated to last no longer than
two hours, probably will be sicced onto
Dick Shikat in the near future, pro-
viding Shikat, ex-champ, safely hur-
dies young Harry Fields in the semi
wind-up.
CHIKAT has been hanging around
= the Capital for years without
getting an opportunity to climb
into the ring in what the rasslers are
pleased to call championship matches,
this condition Notwithstanding the
fact that Shikat is recognized as one
of the smoothest and best of all the
boys living by the furrow on their
faces.
The preliminaries tonight are three,
with Father" Lumpkin, former
Georgia Tech grid star, featuring the
card. Lumpkin will attempt to de-
stroy Vanka zelesniak, the Russian
who is bewhiskered in the Winter

In the face Of all this, Furr, after
unblushingly telling the press yester-

Wilson, pulled his disappearing act.
THERE is q possibility, nay, even
