calories from one piece OF pie?
A respectable slice of apple
pie, four and one-half inches at
the circumference, contains 300
calorieS. BY going at top speed,
five miles an hour, you could
burn this number of calories in
40 minutes.
But, very few people walk
faster than three and three
quarters miles per hour, and at
this moderate rate you would
have to walk for an hour and
ten minutes to burn these pie
calories. And if you add a
scoop of ice cream to your pie
and then amble along at two
and six,tenths miles per hour,
you would have to walk all after
noon to burn these Galleries.
Desserts come high in Galleries
because, as a rule, they contain
sugar, starch and fats-in other
words, desserts are nothing but
calories. It is the thin people
who do not care for desserts
You may hear a would-be Ie
Queer announce that she never
touches bread or potatoes, but
did you ever hear of one who
doesn't take desserts?
However, even desserts may be
chosen with discrimination to-
ward Galleries. The less fat a
dessert contains, the lower it will
be in calories. For example,
angel food cake contains $50
calories in a three-inch section.
while the same size piece Of
sponge cake carries 200 calories.
In contrast, a two and one
half inch square of chocolate cake
with icing contains 500 calorieS
Try and walk that off! Fat
makes the Galleries difference in
these desserts.
Cream desserts, which are
made without flour (starch) are
less fattening than pastries.
Here is a list, reasonably low
in calorieS:

BY DAVIS 7. WALSH

NEW YORK. June l8 u.N.S0.
After both fighters had weighed
in and the rainfall had ceased,
the Louis-Schmeling heavyweight
fight was postponed this after
noon until tomorrow night.
The announcement was made
by Gen. John J. Phelan, chairman
of the boxing commission, after
a consultation with Promoter Mike
Jacobs.
The fighters, Max Schmeling, of
Germany, and Joe Louis, colored
sensation from Detroit and Chi
cago, had left the premises by
this time, assuring one and all
that postponement wouldn't affect
them in the least.
Will Aid Schmeling
According to one examining
physician, DR.. Vincent NardieIlo.
it would even help Schmeling, the
doctors idea being that Max
compoSure, which seemed to be
we'll IN hand, would be even
greater for another night of re-
pose.
Schmeling weighed 1872 pounds:
Louis, little finer" than had
been expected, weighed 1873.
Louis came to the ceremony

N. j.. camp, with crowds greet
ing him at every station. Schmel-

State police. from his rendezvous
at Napanoch, N. Y.
Both Are Composed
Both seemed remarkably COM
posed, considering the fact that
$4,000 people had been preparing
to gather at the Yankee Stadium
for their 15-round fight within
a few hours. But even ct Il
o'clock this morning. a postpone
ment seemed inevitable. The
rain was pelting the townSpeople
indoors with a torrential down
pour, which lasted more than an
hour. after which it stopped. But
the skies did not clear.
1t wasn't long after the prin-
cipals had donned their clothes
and left for quiet retreats some
where in town that the decision
to "go over" until tomorrow
night was announced.

NEW YORK, June 18.-Serious
illness of William B. Leeds, tin
plate millionaire. who recently
married telephone operator
whose life he once saved, was re-
vealed here today as the yachting
honeymoon of the couple was alb
ruptly halted.
The Leeds yacht. ,Moana, an
chored here yesterday and a doc
tor was rushed aboard. 1t was
learned later that Leeds was Suf-
fering an attack of chronic ap-
pendicitis and that he had been
under the care of a special nurse
since his yacht left Miami several
days ago.
Leeds and the former Olive
Hamilton of Atlantic City were
married aboard the Moana two

OMAHA LOSES
ASCOT RACE

ASCOT, England, June 1S
N.SO.-Failing in his bid to
become the second American win
ner of the classic Ascot Gold
Cup, William Woodward's cham
pion colt, Omaha, came home
second today in the gruelllng two
and-one-half.mile race before Eng
lands elite.
Quashed, Lord Stanley's 4-year-
old thoroughbred, won the race
carrying 1913 pounds. Bokbul, a
French entry owned by Baron De
RothSchild. was third.
Omaha was the favorite at un-
official odds of 10 to IL, but
failed to beat out the fleet
footed Quashed.
Quashed paid 7 to l to win,
Omaha paid his hackers II to 8
to place, and Bokbul paid 100
to 6 to show.
Omaha was beaten by a short
head in one of the most exciting
finishes in the history of the
Ascot race, inaugurated by Queen
Anne in It'll.
Omaha and Quashed were even
at the quarter-mile post, and still
level a furlong from home. Here
the British horse edged ahead,
winning to the tune of cheers un-
usually loud for this particular
race. Tradition rules that an
Ascot crowd shall restrain its emo
tionS.
The track was heavy after an
almost torrential down pour
throughout the morning, and this
probably affected the chances Of
the great American thoroughbred.
