Owens Will
Run R ace
With Pony

CLEVELAND, Dec. "a. W.P) - II
Jesse Owens, the fastest human,
wins his race against horse he
will have to increase his already
incredible speed 30 per cent, the
United Press estimated today on the
basis of racing and track records.
Owens, a Clevelander, is sched-
uled to sprint against horse over
100-meter course at the Cuban
national sports festival at Havana
Saturday.
The Olympic hero's best time for
the distance is 1912 seconds, mark
he established during a trial heat
at Berlin last summer.
Racing authorities here estimat-
ed today that a fast horse could
cover the 100 meters in seven sec
onds. No records for SO short a
distance were available, but the
quarter mile track record of %.
Seconds set by Slapdash at Hialeah
in 1888, was used as a basis for the
estimate
Experts believed Jesse might lead
the horse for the first 20 meters
but that after that he would fall
behind At his fastest speed,
Owens would be travelling approx
imately % miles an hour, while the
horse at its best could travel 3d.
according to calculations.

BRIGHT LIGHTS
PERIL FAMOUS
INDIAN MUMMY

WASHINGTON. U.P) - Scientists
have met with members of the Ma
tional Park Service and the staff of
the Smithsonian Institution here to
decide upon method of scienti-
fically treating prehistoric Indian
mummy displayed in Mammoth
Cave, KY, that is showing signs Of
disintegrating.
The mummy, discovered a year
ago in the cave, is displayed in a
glass case electrically lighted during
hours when the cave is open to
visitors
Scientists believe the mummy had
rested on ledge for several CEN
turies before its discovery Appar-
emily, they said, under natural con-
ditions of the cave, there had been
no marked deterioration.
After II months in a glass case
under artificialal lighting, however,
the mummy now shows signs of
disintegration and a fungus growth
has made its appearance.
Among suggestions made at the
conference to preserve the mummy
was that neon tubes be used for
permanent illumination to replace
the present lighting arrangement.
These tubes. scientists said, by
emanation Of ultraviolet rays,
should act as a mold deterrant.

James John Johnston, who will argue
with you all night that he is the
greatest matchmaker the ring has
ever known. If you saw this fight
you know how idle is Mr.. john
ston's boast.
I do not mcan 10 infer that
Schmeling and Braddock would
furnish as awful a spectacle as
Renault and Charles. But I be-
lieve they would approach it. Both
are old, both have the caution that
goes with age. Both are strictly
one-shot fighters. All Schmeling
has is right hand and all Brad
rock has is right hand. Both
would step in the ring knowing
that if they avoided being hit by
the others right they would exit
unchanged. The chances are that
neither would land a good right
hand punch in the entire Is rounds
for both boys have been around
long enough to acquire the skill
necessary to avoid being hit with
a sucker punch.
If they fight, you can safely Law
2O-l that they will go Is full drearv
rounds. The only thing that could
cut 1t shorter would be for one of
them or both of them to quit of
pure boredom.
On second thought, which means
nave tied my record of two
thoughts in one day, perhaps Berlin
is the proper site for this fight. II
would draw a tremendous crowd
there and it wouldn't draw much
more than a quorum here.
wouldn't be surprised if it wouldn't
attract upwards of 100. 900 custom
ers In Berlin for I know how little
IL takes to establish record gates
In that city.

men, will prove a tough foe for
the Brawley team, however. The
Calexico team which bowed 1913
to Brawley in the tournament
finals, had had only three days of
practice and as a result were far
from top form.
Nazabal, Stinson, Gallego and
Samaha will form strong nu-
cleus and Coach Covington has
four aspirants fighting for the
other varsity spot. The reserves
are not outstanding but the CAL
exico mentor has several players
he can shift into a first string
berth in case of injury.
Calipatria, Imperial and Holt
vile high schools were not i'm
pressive in the tournament and
can not be regarded as serious
threats in the valley flag race this
season.
Calipatria appears to be the
| strongest team of the three but
the northenders stand little chance
to upset Brawley, Calexico or Ell
! Centre.
Spartans Strong
The FL Centre Spartans, regard
ed as one of the weaker teams of
the loop after their poor showing
against Brawley high in the valley
tournament but against Beverly
Hills high Tuesday night the Spar
tan cagers demonstrated to other
valley schools, principally Calexico
and Brawley, that the Taylormen
will be right in the fight for loop
honors in the final round of play.
In the Beverly Hills tilt the
Spartans showed a fine defense
and exhibited smooth function
ing attack in the first half of play.
With few weeks more practice
the Ell Centro team will make the
going mighty tough for the Braw-
ley cagers and by the end of the
season the Central union team
may knock over the highly favored
club from Brawley.
Carroll Smith, O'Guin, Burke and
Bromley worked together nicely in
Tuesday nights game during the
first half, but the Spartan quintet
seemed nervous in the second half
of play Several times muffed pass
es thwarted certain Ell Centre
scores.
With a drill on ball handling
however, the Spartan Varsity will
prove big obstacle in the path
of the Brawley and Calexico cagers
and the defending champions from
Central may pull out their fifth
successive basketball title.

HY HENRY McLEMORE

NEW YORK, Dec. "a. UR)-Before
it is too late 1 felt I simply had to
urge the honorable gentlemen in
charge not to let the Max Schmel-
ing-JameS j. Braddock heavyweight
fight go to Berlin.
Berlin is too close 1t must not
be more than 1000 miles to the
capital city of the Reich which
makes it much less desirable than
the Malay Straits. Melbourne or
Auckland as a site for the fight
between these two slightly damag-
ed exponents of the manly art.
Radio reception between here and
berlin is very good while there are
| frequent static disturbances be-
tween this country and the other
cities named. This is another point
in their favor The worst heavy
weight fight this observers eyes
ever saw was one in Madison
Square Garden several years ago
between Pierre Charles, Belgian
hopper, and Jack Renault, who
once served term in the Canadian
Royal mounted police.

Warming
BY BURDETTE KINNE
POst-Press Sports Editor

They're calling him Bill Lane
"the Fox" in coast league circles
for Owner Lane of the San Diego
Padres came out on top in every
trade he made during the winter
trading season.
First he swapped Vincent Di
Maggio, outfielder, for Tiny Jim
Chaplin and Rupert Thompson of
The Bost Bees. Chaplin hurled sew
eral shutouts for the Bees last seas
on and ended the season with rec
ord of 10 wins and IA defeats. Not
impressive you might think, but at
least 10 of Tiny's losses were by one
and two run margins.
Thompson, while not the fielding
hawk Di Maggie is, is better hitter.
Lane then traded Archie Camp
bell second rate pitcher to the
Angels for Reese, veteran infielder.
Reese is a good defensive fielder
and 300 hitter. He will fill in at
second base to take over the duties
of Bobby Doerr who was drafted to
the majors by the Boston Red SoX.
Lane sent Jimmey Kerr, second
string Padre catcher to Tulsa and
picked up an outfielder and then
purchased Starr and Detore to work
behind the plate. Both catchers
have had major league experience
and should manage the Padre hurl-
ers in first class fashion.
The San Diego team will have a
staff of pitchers second to none in
the coast league. Ward, Craghead,
Fillette, Chaplin, Hebert, Horne and
Salvo will make up the staff.
San Diego fans will watch the
Padres open the season with a
bang, and unless something unfore
seen hapens, the Border City club
will coast along to pennant with
one of the best balanced lineups in
coast league history.

Who wants Dizzy Dean?

Who wants Dizzy Dean?
The major league baseball clubs in
their recent winter meetings watch
ed with interest, chickering's between
the management of the st. Louis
Cardinals and the managements of
several other National League clubs
in regard to the possible sale of
Dizzy Dean.
First the Cincinnati Reds consid-
cred a deal but Branch Hickey de-
cided he must have several payers
and a couple hundred thousand
cash. The Reds, strangely, lost in
terest in the deal
The Cubs and the Giants thought
over the proposition, but not for
long. Too many players and too
much cash was demanded by the
Cardinals
Pittsburgh was next in line but
the Buc management refused to
wreck the entire club just to land
one player. So it looks like the
Cards are stuck with the Dizzy One
another season.
1t is an accepted fact that Dean
would pitch better with another club
but Dean will probably win more
than 20 games regardless of which
club he plays on.
With the Pirates, Cubs or Giants
or even the Cincinnati Reds Dizzy
might pitch the club into the league
pennant, but it is doubtful whether
he can hurl the Cards into a title
The Gas House Gang lacks tht
pitching strength to carry it through
an entire season.
