Young Corbett III was a 10 to
6 favorite today to defeat Mickey

He posted a $4,000 forfeit as a
guarantee he II make the weight.
Corbett expects to weigh in at 155
pounds.

ADA|R FORMS
NEW PARTY

Clark w. Adair, we'll known
rancher of the Seeley district. is
the originator and organizer of a
new national political party, &C
cording to clipping from the On
aha World Herald, received at The
Press office.
Adair has founded the "F'rank-
lin Jackson Lincoln Prosperity
Congressional Party' which advo-
Gates printing of treasury notes to
relieve unemployment.
He argues that there are AZ bill
lion dollars on deposit in the banks
and untold millions hidden in
homes and safe deposit boxes. BY
printing treasury notes this hid
den money would be cheapened and
eventually forced into circulation,
when the treasury notes could be
called in and burned.
Adair has established head
quarters for his party in Chicago
and plans to organize branches in
all the states.

MARBLE GAME
HELD LOTTERY

LOS ANGELES, Aug. ID. W.P)-
Loser in a municipal court contest
over the legality of marble table
games, James Martin, clerk, today
prepared to "shoot the works. in
an appeal from the jury's decision
that his popular nickel concessions
are lotteries.
State and defense attorneys
cleared the way for a quick test
case appeal by dropping all charg-
eS other than one-conducting a
lottery. The jurors had also con-
victed Martin of possession of a
lottery device. and operating a
gambling game. They decided,
however, that he was not running
banking and percentage game.
Martin IS defense was completl d
yesterday when Lloyd Feldermey-
er, %, stepped up as an expert
witness" and displayed his talent
for making the marbles whiz where
he wanted them.
Taking the proper marble stance
1874 variety-Feldermeyer deftly
sent the pellets flying into the
high score holes as judge and Jury
gathered around. He seemed to
have the marbles well under con-
troll, adding weight to the defense
contention that the device was ga
game of skill
Martin, undismayed by the state IS
high score in the first round of
the marble tourney, announced he
would Immediately appeal.
The owners of $4,000 other mar
BILE games in corner drug stores
and soft drink emporiums were
lending distinct moral support.

PRIMARIES IN
FOUR STATES
HELD TODAY
!. ~9h'
BY United Press

Two primary contests of the four
being held today put "new deal'
issues up to the voters.
: Interest of political students was
centered on the farm belt where
contests involving tests of strength
{. of new deal" supporters we're
. going on in Nebraska and Ohio.
Primaries in Idaho and Arkansas
largely were local affairs.
The Nebraska contest was re-
garded as the most spectacular.
Rep E. r. Burke of Omaha and
Gov. Charles w. Bryan are fight
ing for the Democratic senatorial
endorsement.
Burke is the candidate of Ar
thur Mullen, President Roosevelt IS
floor manager at the 1882 conven-
ton. He is the author of the
''new deal' definition quoted by
Mr.. Roosevelt in his Green Bay,
Wis, speech last week. This ges-
ture was regarded as break with
the traditional attitude of presi-
Dental neutrality in a primary.
Bryan has denounced the AAA
as Sitting the farmers throat
from Gear to ear" He has been
critical of other administration
measures and has espoused reme-
dies which critics claim amount to
virtual cancellation of mortgages
and other debt burdens.
The Republican senatorial NOM
ination also is contested bitterly.
Five candidates are in the race.
In Ohio the race centers on the
Democratic endorsement for sena-
tor with hot fights all the way
down the ticket.
The three Democratic senatorial
candidates are Rep. Charles West,
widely advertised as the "simon
pure new deal' candidate; Gov.
George White and former Gov. Vic
tor Donahey. Donahey is the most
reticent in his support of the ad-
ministration. White takes mid
Gle course. The outcome is ex-
pected to be close.
Sen. Simeon D. Fess, expected to
win the Republican nomination
by a good margin although he has
two opponents, is bitter opponent
Of the Democratic regime and
November race between him and
West would draw the issue square,
ly.
Interest in Idaho was mainly in
the effort of Gov. c. Ben Ross to
win Democratic endorsement for
the third time. Should he win he
will be regarded as the leading
challenger to Sen. William E. Bor-
ah in 1886.

Choosing an American made
airplane and American made
gasoline and motor oils as the
weapons with which he will
fight for supremacy in the
greatest aerial contest of his
career, Sir Charles Kingsford-
Smith, who to world aviation is
what Lindberg is to American,
has arrived on the Pacific Coast
to complete arrangements for
his entry in the 1900 mile in
ternational race from London
to Melbourne, Australia, to be
held next October 10th.
This race, sponsored by Sir
Mcpherson Robertson, million
aire manufacturer of Mel
bourne, is open to planes of
any type and pilots from every
country on earth. More than
20 of the worlds ace fliers are
expected to enter, including
such outstanding figures as
Jimmy" Doolittle and Wiley
Post of this country.
Discuss Plans
While considerable mystery
surrounds Kingsford Smiths
negotiations in the United
States, it is definitely known
that he will fly a Lockheed-
Affair low wing monoplane,
now under construction at the
Loclheed plant in Burbank,
California. Also, much of his
time while here will be spent
i'll conference with refinery ex-
perts of Socony-Vacuum Cor
poration and its affiliate, Gen
eral Petroleum Corporation.
Kingsford-Smith for the past
four years has been technical
adviser to Va-""m Oil Pro-
prietories, of i" affiliate
on tina. Socony-
Vacuum. The pI~ will be
powered with a single Pratt
and Whitney super-charged
Wasp and will be shipped to
Melbourne when ready, to be
flown from that city to London
by Kingsford-Sm just prior
to the race.

LEAGUE GAMES
PACIFIC COAST
BY United Press

Gabby Streets Mission Reds, the
up-again, down-again, off-again
club of the Pacific Coast league
started their supreme test today by
engaging Los Angeles in series
which may determine the pennant
winner in the second half cam
paign.
AS the teams squared off, the
Angels were tied with Seattle for
first place and the Mission Reds
were two games behind the pace
settlers.
A week or so ago the Reds were
tied with the Angels for the top,
but slump at Hollywood sent
Streets men of destiny" skid
ding. Never a good road club, the
Missions hoped to make up for
that setback this week on their
home lot. If they can take the
Angels while Seattle is profiting at
Portland's expense, the Seattle
club may obtain commanding lead.
If Los Angeles wins, it eliminates
the Missions and makes it a two
team race to the finish.
The clubs occupying third place,
three games from the top, also
meet this week, with Hollywood
entertaining the San Francisco
Seals. Despite the loss of Joe Di-
maggie, their sole fence-buster, the
Seals won five games from Los
Angeles last week. Good pitching
and the Angels sloppy fielding &C.
counted for it.

NEW YORK, Aug. 14.-Mickey
Cochrane's high-powered Detroit
team will be welcomed at Yam
kee stadium this afternoon for a
check-up on the American league
pennant situation.
Col. Jake Ruppert's Yankees,
trailing by four and a half games.
want to know whether tnis De-
| troit club is a team of destiny or
fall rumor.
There was some tendency to
discrcdit the team destiny angle
until short while back One set
of figures came through, however,
that carried conviction. The fig
ures were: IL victories in row.
If any more figures are wanted,
! here are few: Detroit is outhit-
ting the Yankees by 25 points; the
club average is $40 against a .285
for the New Workers. Detroit has
| ten men hitting at 300 or better;
the Yankees have four. Detroit
has won five more games than the
Yanks and lost four less, which
sticks up to a 40-point advantage
IN the percentage column.
With five games coming UP this
week between the two clubs, it
may readily be calculated the New
Workers will have to win a pre-
ponderance of the games-in fact,
will have to sweep the series or
come close to tiff they hope to
lead this pennant situation when
! the Detroiters leave town Friday.
Todays double header promises
to be about the most important
moments the Yankees have faced
this season. If New York sweeps
the first days play, they may be
inspired to renewed vigor and
Chamber nimbly back to the top. If
they miss, it will be too bad.
Foreman Joe Mccarthy will give
the Yankees quite a shakeup be-
fore they go to bat. George Sell
kirk, who hit $50 with the New
ark Bears this season, will be at
Earl Combs post in the outfield.
Red Rolfe probably will be at
third in place of Jack Saltzgaver.
Yesterday Washingtons Sena-
tors were bumped off by Phila-
delphia, 80, in the only game
played in either league. 1t was to
have been a doubleheader but rain
halted the second game, and also
washed out Pittsburgh and Cincin-
natl in the National league. John
ny Marcum was credited with the
shutout.

ANOTHER BOSS

CHICAGO, Aug. ID. W.P)-Two
hours after calling all Chicago
newspapers to announce that he
positively would not get married,
King LevinSky, heavyweight boxer,
eloped today with Miss Roxanne
Glickman, l8-year- fan dancer,
and was married in Crown Point,
Ind.
Plans for the runaway ceremony
were kept "deep secret,' the
only witnesses being a dozen or so
neWSpaperm1n. The "King' 'S'
best man was the publicity agent
for world fair concession.
Levinsky, who signed the license
records with his real name, Harris
Krakow, almost was speechless on
an automobile trip to Crown Point
and through the wedding cere-
mony-a condition unprecedented.
At midnight, after his sister,
manager, Lena, had introduced
Miss Glickman to every sports desk
in town, Levinsky telephoned
half dozen editors to announce
that he had changed his mind.
81 just can't do it,' he moaned.
He changed his mind again when
Lena and Miss Glickman got back
on the job. The ceremony took
place at a. m.

NEW YORK, Aug. 14.-The De-
troit Tigers and the New York
Yankees meet at the Yankee sta
dunn today in the most plob series
of the 1884 baseball season.
I say plob because I'm sick and
tired of the word crucial, and !
couldn't find a substitute. I even
went so far as to call up Doctor
Frank H. Vizetelly, chief lexicog-
rapher of the United States and
a man who knows more about
words than anybody else.
"Dr. Vizetelly," l said. What
word would you use to describe a
series of five baseball games be-
tween the Detroit Tigers and New
York Yankees which is very i'm
portant, in which much is at stake
and in which many things are
likely to come to an immediate
head?"
"Eh?" said Doctor Vizetelly.
Doctor Vizetelly," I repeated,
what word would you use to des-
cribe series of five baseball
games between the Detroit Tigers
and New York Yankees which is
very important, in which much is
at stake, and in which many
things are likely to come to an i'm
mediate head?"
Crucial" said Doctor Vizetelly.
Doctor Vizetelly," 1 said, "is
that the best you can lexicog?"
Imperial Valley press., 1934-08-14

YES" the doctor replied, Cru
cials the word. Of courss, there is
always Roget's Thesaurus.'
Luckily we had a thesaurus
having purchased one III prepara-
ton for the yachting business off
Newport in a few weeks. We
turned to crucial.
Crucial: categorical, decisive,
apoditic, unanswerable, conclusive
irresistible, irrefutable, irrefrag-
able, undeniable, demonstrated
proven, unconfutated, etc., ETC."
I tried 'em all.

day in an apoditic series -

To all of the points named, d.
well as London and a numbe;
OF World-scatteied emergency
fields, special supplies of gaso-
line, oils and greases will have
to be shipped weeks in advance
of the actual race. Special
lubricating equipment will have
to be placed in the hands OF
selected men stationed deep in
tropical jungles and on the
sand-scoured wastes of deserts.
In many cases native person
mel, some of them recruited
from remote savage races, will
have to be trained to expo
ditiously service plane the
like of which they have neve;
seen before, for upon such
services may depend Kings

margin of minutes over his
rivals.
The famous pilot will be &C
companied OH the dash by Capt.
p. G. Taylor as navigator and
assistant pilot. He expects to
cover the distance from London
to Melbourne at speed which
will average nearly 1000 miles

ordinary career, as he has al
ready announced his intention
to, retire from long distance
