 "wednesday, June 24-Paul vs Murphy.
 Friday, June 26-Wrenn vs 8olger. Off the Bat. Last Thursday night Bill Gleason'S Wildcats de- feated Ed Bolgers Merrymakers to the tune of 10-1. Frank Newberry had the Bolgermen eating out of his hand and was deserving of a shut out. Billy Fitzmaurice who hits his home runs at stag banquets con- nected for one of the circuit in the six spelling Newberry of his shutout. Although "Robber" Ray Ouelette tried his best to give Wrenn the game last Monday, Murphy man aged to get 19 runs to win 19-ll. This puts Murphy in first place not having lost a game in the first round. The Murphyites desrie this place on attendance alone having used two or three extra men in the five games. The Deacon" Ladden is having a sensational year on the mound and the outfield is losing plenty of weight chasing fly balls.
 Last night Arch Hollywood's team lost their second game in as many nights losing to Ed Bolger's team by the score of 19-17. Hollywood was leading by the score of II to 5 when an avalanche of hits in the eighth inning was annexed and when the smoke cleared away Bolger was leading by 1917 when game was called on account of darkness. A special meeting of the asso- ciation has been called for Wednes- day night June 24, in the basement of the school after the league game. Treasurer George Daly will make his report of the financial standing to date. Like to see all the mem bers of the association be present at this important meeting.

RECORD CROWD ASSURED FOR
 100 MILE RACE
Goshen Event Goes on Sat- urday as Track is Re-
 ported Perfect"

Goshen, N. Y., June e-(speciaD With the mile triangular course of Good Tine track here in it's fastest condition, more than Q score of racing cars and drivers ifnpatiently waiting for the start at 3 o'clock Saturday of the 10o-nile National Championship grind, all that re- mains to be done is open the three gates to what is certain to be the greatest ttrong which ever attend ed an auto race in the East.
 During the last week reservations have poured in, with most persons apparently grateful that rain caus- ed a poStponement from last Sat- urday. The extra week of work on their cars also was received with favor by drivers and mechanics. Conditioning of the track, after the rainy weekend, also was helped by the delay. Today finds the entire plant in tip-top form for its inaug- liral of auto racing over the famil- far course of the Hambletonian trot- ting stake.
 Even the republicans, with plenty to do as they realize, are forgetting politics for auto speeding Saturday afternoon. The annual conclave of 2, O. D. adherents in Goshen, sched- lled for this Saturday, has been postponed till next week so officials and delegates may attend the gas derby.
 StandOuts
 The two most feared drivers in the championship century-long grind are Lou Meyer, only three- time winner at Indianapolis; and Ted Horn, who was second to the great Lou this year in the 50O-rnile whirl. Horn is already within 160 points of Meyer in the annual race for top honors. The winner here Saturday afternoon gets 120 points toward his national standing.
 The soldiers bonus apparently came in the nick of time for the outo classic at Good Time track Sat- urday since many of the reserva- tions made this week have come from veterans who laughingly re. port they are at least going to have good time with spending the first few dollars.
 Drivers report their cars, all vet- erans of the Indianapolis race, are in the best shape they have been all season. The weeks respite has given mechanics ample time in which to eliminate any "bugs". The boys ale so have had the advantage of try- ing out the brand new auto racing strip. They are unanimous in de- claring that the present world mark of 83.54 mph., for 100 miles will be smashed Saturday afternoon.
 Qualifying trials will start at II a. m., daylight time; 100-nnile race at 3 D. m. and consolation race at 4:30 p. m.

Tale of tlae Tape
STORYTELLING

tween the 22 year old negro who, they say, can't miss becoming cham Dion, and the 30 year old German who once held the title, is likely to 60 on tonight. The weather bureau promised fair weather and moderate temperatures. If a second postpone inent should be necessary, the bout will be held Saturday afternoon in opposition to a crucial ball game across the Harlem river between the New York Giants and St. Louis Cardinals.
 7 If Promoter Mike Jacobs, who is becoming as grouchy as Q hen guard- ing her flock because of the many difnculties he has encountered in this promotion, does not get the fight on tonight, the sports writers may ridicule 1t right out of Yankee stadium. To the Journalistic profess sion the fight has become a illegal execution"
 Postponements usually are detri- mental to the gate receipts, but Pro- nloter Jacobs insists that yesterdays delay will help the gate. Although Jacobs refused to divulge the extent O. the advance sale, 1t was learned on ee1ni- -ofhcial source that it is be- tween $550,000 and $60O,000. A lib- eral forecast places the probable attendance at 10000 and the gross gate at $750,000. Louis and Schmel- ing each will receive 30 per cent of the net gate, which is likely to be about 9600,000, or nearly $200,OOO each.
 With the weighing-in ceremony and physical examinations accom- plished yesterday at the Hippodronfe theater, recently leased by Jacobs for indoor fights, the two fighters win not face each other again until they meet in the ring tonight at 10 D. m. (E. D. T.) Louis scaled 1o0, Schmeling 192. The brown bomber's weight was q surprise, but he is like- ly to come in tonight weighing about 202. Trainer Jack Blackburn esti- mated he would pick up at least four pounds because of the postpone mert.
 Despite schmeling's failure to crack in the presence of Louis at yesterdays weighing.in, the brown bomber remained Q l0-l betting fa- Vorite to win and 8 Bel favorite to score K. Q. Even money was quoted that the German won't come up for the eighth round. With no Schmel- ing money in sight, the fight prob ably will set an all time low for betting on a major bout.
 Both lighters spent comfortable night their managers reported to- day. Schmehng, who was registered at Q downtown hotel, slipped away to friends estate on Long Island for the night. He slept about 12 hours, arising at 9 a. m. to eat light breakfast and 90 for a walk. Joe Jacobs, his manager, said the German would eat his dinner about o'clock and then come in to New York to rest at his hotel until time to 60 to the arena.
 Louis retired at 9 o'clock last

 "Yes, I have. Isn't 1t all right? Don't tell me I'm a Cinderella once again, for I lost my job and this would be a perfect Godsend to me?" she asked eagerly.
 "Oh, the property there's all right, but 1t is very valuable and want to sec that you don't give 1t away for 8 song. Before go further, let me assure you that I have no interest in this affair ex- cept that, as a friend of your fathers want to see that you are not fleeced.

0NE cold day in the fall of l484, V Q forlorn stranger and his young son knocked at the gate of the Franciscan convent, dedicated to Santa Maria de Rabida, near the port of Palos, Spain. As the porter fed the hungry couple, the prior of the convent, Pere Juan Perez de Marchena, came out and asked the stranger who he was and where he came from.
 The man was Christopher Go. lumbus, and he had just come from Portugal, seeking aid for his proposed trip westward to the Indies. Pcrc Marchena, knowing a little of the world. invited the couple into the convent. There the two stayed more than a year, when the friar made arrange ments for Columbus 10 sec Queen Isabella.

CHAPTER XXI

"Derek," said Lucille in the soft tones she affected on occasion, wont you let me give up this pose for a minute2 Every muscle in my body feels crampedl don't know If can even move"
 "1'm sorryl" Derck pushed aside his palette and brushes and held out Q hand to her. T didn't realize how long you'd been sitting there. Why didn't you speak before2"
 You looked 50 desperately seri- ous I was afraid to speak," Lu- ellie looked up at him with big blue eyes.
 "Well, come on down now He grasped her hand.
 "f don't believe I can rise"
 "There," exclaimed Derek, lift- ing her in his arms and setting her down on the couch. Stretch out for . bit and you'll feel all right" He turned again to his canvas.
 "It's not very nice Of you to turn your back on mo like that" Lucille complained. "Why cant you come and speak to mcp I believe you are woman hater! But there even If one g'rl has treated you baGly I don't scc why you should be 50 mean to every other girl you meet"
 "Whats that you sayl" Derek moved quickly across the room.
 "Well, everyone knows you were crazy about Gall Everett and I'm sure she led you on, but"
 Stop he said. "I don't want to hear any more of that"
 50 you still worship her?" Lucille laughed softly, tantaliz- ingiy. Then, slipping her hand in his, she said, "Derek, I want to help you. I've known Gall for years, and she's not worth worry ing about. She loves admiration, but when the time comes when she's ready to settle down every one knows she'll marry Dick SoArlcs."
 "You're sure about that--quite sure'" asked Derek. The night before he had seen Gall and Dick together. He writhed as he re- membcred how her sunny head had almost touched the other mans. Derek had called Madame Li2ctte's shop that morning and learned that Gall was no longer connected with the firm. He'd called tho club, too, only to bo told that there was no ono of that name there. He did not know that . new telephone operator was on duty--onc with small sense of re. sponSibility.
 "Yes, Derck," Lucille went on softly. q hate to say it, but I know it's true" Yet, even as Lu- cille spoke, Derek felt that she was mistaken. On more than one occasion he had felt that Lucille was jealous of Gall. Still he had seen Gail and Dick together Was that tho real reason she had re- fused to go to the theatcr with Carter and himsclf2
