.Schme|ing Calls
Two-Day Recess

NAPANOCH, N. Y, June J..
Afraid he might go stale, Max
Schmeling, former heavyweight
champion, was to recess today
and tomorrow in his training
preparations for his June 10
bout with Joe Louis.
The black uhlan put on q
vigorous workout before $500 en-
thusiaStic spectators yesterday,
boxing two rounds each with
Mickey McAvoy Of Brooklyn;
Heinz Kohlhaas, a countryman,
and Andy wallace, Of Newark.
Schmeling narrowly averted a
cut over his eye, which might
have caused a postponement of
the fight. He and McAvoy came
together In a head-on collision in
the second round of their punch
ing bee. schmeling suffered a
bump on the forehead, but Nc
Avoy's nose was broken.
Gosh, I was lucky" admit
ted Max.

First, Wilmer Allison, the Ameri.
can champion who was beaten on
Saturday, must knock off the
Anzac ace, Jack Crawford. Then
Don Bulge, our only winner in
three matches played, must carry
on from that point and take
Adrian Quist. We are, in other
words, down at 2 victories to ! in

wrong at all now, we stay wrong.
Wearing Haggard Look
Meantime, the Davis Cup com.
mittee is wearing a haggard, pen
sive look as it regards with one
eye its faltering but main de-
pendence, Allison, and casts the
other obliquely in the direction
Of the non-competing Grant, who
yesterday went forth and gave

man, in a two-set exhibition, 6-3,

as being approximately on a par.
ity with the other two, so Grants
performance came under the head
of a tacit reproach to those who
passed him by with set and
averted gaze.
Briefly, then, for the comfort
and convenience Of many, what"
ever the Americans do today, it
had better be good. For the
rising storm, still held in abey-
ance but waiting for utterance,
in no wise will be abated by the
fact that an American defeat
here will be more or less historic.
It will be our first in an Ameri-
can zone final.
Huge Crowd Anticipated
OF course, it also is the first
time Australia has challenged in
this zone, but that Is meager COM
fort. Those Australians know
what they're about. They realize
that the tide Of tennis empire
has gone eastward to Europe and
they're picking their spots.
Even so. another big crowd Is
soon to assemble around the Ger

court: for it knows that America
holds better than a dead mans
hand" in this final game of show
down. Our ace in the hole,
frankly, is neither Allison nor
Bulge, the two American princi-
pals, but none other than old man
Crawford. He claims to be only
%, but, right now, he looks like
a brewery wagon driver and some
times he even plays like one.
Crawford is tired after 10 sets

Bulge in a back-breaker on Satur-
day and five again with Quist

doubles yesterday. In fact, the

death with a hatchet last Sep
tember. must be confined to the
Springfield State Hospital for the
Insane until she shall have re-
covered her reason and be dis
charged by the due course OF the
law"
That was the order given by
two judges of circuit court early
this morning after jury had
returned a verdict that the young
woman was not guilty by reason
Of insanity"
It took the jury nine hours TO
reach that decision after a Two
day trial. The first verdict they
brought in, holding that she was
insane at the time of the killing
and hence not guilty by reason
of insanity, was refused by the
judges because the jurors held
she is mentally sick" now.
The judges declared there is
no such a condition as mentally
sick" and that the jury must
find her either sane or insane.
The jurors returned to their
deliberations, and it was more
than two hours later when they
returned to court and held that
she was insane at the time OF
committing the crime and Is in
sane now.
Defense Attorney S. Scott Beck
then moved for an arrest Of judg-
ment, but later withdrew the mo-
ton and asked that his client be
sent to a private hospital.
The judges after a conference
refused to consent to this and
ordered that she be sent to the
State hospital.

The Secretary pointed out that
Congress appropriated about $780,

that such an appropriation is not
available this year.
But we have made funds avail
able" he said, "and the President
wants everything done that can be
done to relieve distress"
Among other things. the Depart
ment OF Agriculture is perfecting
plans for live stock purchase pro-

we will have to buy as many cattle
as we did IN 1884. We purchased

Reciting steps the Government con-
templates to aid drought-harassed
farmers, particularly in the Middle
West. the Secretary, in radio address
said purchases of livestock for which
no feed was available will be handled
so that neither consumers nor grow
ers are penalized.
There is no likelihood now OF any
thing approaching a national food

evitably reduces the pork supply a
year later, but on the whole there Is
no excuse for substantial increases in
food prices now. The persons who are
using the drought as an excuse to in
crease their profits are taking advan-
tage of human suffering"
Summarizing the drought situation
the Secretary, who is vacationing in
the Pixies Peak region, said: 1T is a
matter for national concern.
Thousands of farmers will need all the
help we can give regardless of the

screen when Lew Ayres starred in
"The Leathernecks Have Landed"
coming to the Kootenai theatre this
week, first started his screen work.
J. Stuart Blaskton was making a pic
ture and at that time scenes were shot
fast and days were long Ayres was an
extra. One Of the leading men failed
to show up, there was no time 10 get
another, and the choice of substitute
fell to Ayres.,
At the end aof long day, he was
handed two dollars. Working in an
orchestra, hes was making seventy
five dollars week, SO he swore right
there that he'd never 90 near motion
pictures again, except as member OF
the audiences. Fortunately, he changed
his mind.

into the city and have several hours
for shopping, returning home the same
day or the evening bus.
