CIRCUS SEASON
 HAS BEEN GOOD
Tent Shows Have No Fear as Long as Birthrate
 Holds Up
By LEWIS T. NoRDYKE

HOUSTON, Tex, Oct. 28.-As long as the national birth rate holds up, circus folk have no fear of the business bugaboo of Presi- dential years.
 For, despite compe1iv;on from the Bring political circus, more peanut and pink lemonade fans flocked to the "big top this year than any season since 1929.
 "As long as the birth rate re- mains normal and there are plenty of kids, the circus will be all right" said Sam w. Gumpertz, General Manager of gling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey circus. We compute our future potential business on the birth rate.
 Get a kid into the big tent one time and in 95 cases out of 100 you have fan for life. Kids are natural born circus fans. The color gets them. However, it's next thing to impossible to make a fan of a person who reached maturity be- fore seeing a circus" Gumpertz said the show was on

Now that Joe Louis has fairly well exhausted the crop of available American heavyweights, his ring wise managers are reaching out to foreign lands to find opponents for the Bomber. Foreign fighters are so much easier to build up-in most cases the American public knows little about these importations oth- CT than what willy manager choos- es to tell The international angle always adds color to a big fight.
 Jorge Brescia, the young Argen- tine, is not completely out of the picture despite the fact that Louis stopped him in less than three rounds. The Argentine looked very good until he made the fatal mis- take of dropping his hands when coming out of a clinch. That gave Louis perfect opening and he shot over a crushing left hook to end the evenings festivities. Up to that point Brescia showed plenty of courage and boxing ability as well as good, straight punch. All he lacked was experience. Brought along properly, Brescia is likely to be heard from again before the next outdoor season rolls around.
 Another South American, Arturo Godoy, labeled the champion heavy weight of the southern continent, is bidding for gold and glory in American rings. Just how good he really is only time and couple of bouts with some of our second flight heavies will tell.
 Godoy Finishes Firpo
 Godoy's record shows several vic- tories over fighters known in this country The crowning achieve ment to his career so far was his victory over Luis Angel Firpo in three rounds in the latter's home town of Buenos Aires. Godoy soon knocked any notions that Firpo may have had about a comeback sky high-he spared us another visit by the erstwhile Wild Bull of the Pampas, and for that We should be everlastingly grateful.
 That victory over Firpo cleared the hath to the United States and here Godoy is now, not tossing chal- lenges at the Braddocks, the Schmelings and the Louises, but willing te make his presence felt

Attention. Pitchers!

OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 28.-Joe Di MaggIo, the world champion New York Yankees sensational freshman 1utfielder, admits he can be pitch ed to.
 The young fly-chaser, pausing here enroute to his California home, said
 Rogers Hornsby, manager of the Browns, says I can be pitched to. I'll tell you-it's ball on the out tide corner, knee high, fast curve that breaks outside the plate. Then I'm going for bad balls"
 Di Maggie expects, however, to overcome this weakness" at the plate by having some one pitch fast curves low on the outside to him this winter until he learns to hit them or let them go by.
 Joe thinks Mel Harder of Cleve- land is as tough a pitcher as there is in the American League. He also likes Bob Teller, Cleveland's S rookie strikeout artist.

by meeting any heavyweight who is looking for a fight.
 T want the American fight pub lie to decide whether or not I be- long with your op-potchers,' is his explanation. I'll do my part to the best of my ability and when they say I am ready for your best men I'll be ready for them Which is quite a different attitude from that generally assumed by invading scrappers. It's note in the char acter of this youngster-a note that likely will bring him great popular ity.
 Foe Leads With Bicuspids
 Godoy IS a fine looking specimen of manhood. He is short of six feet, but weighs more than 200 pounds, and there isn't an ounce of super fluous flesh on him. He appears a veritable man of iron. In his 50 fights he has never been on the floor. He has one mark to identify him as fighter One mark-and it came to him in his first profes- sinai fight in June, 1882. It's one he will carry to his grave-a scared looking blotch on the muscle of his right arm.
 It came when Pantaleon Musso- lino met him in Havana Arturo was going along nicely-which in- furiated his foe to such an extent that he forgot his boxing manners. In a clinch Mussolino sank his teeth into Arturos biceps and tore the muscles as sharply as though a greyhound had inflicted the wound A near riot followed. Arturo turn ed loose his guns and knocked out Mussoljno with the next punch. The police were called to quell the dis turbance which followed, and all hands landed in the custody of the gendarmes,

HAS YEARN FOR
 MAJOR LEAGUES

BOULDER, Colo, Oct. 28. - Bill Subry, one of the best pitchers ever developed in the Rocky Mountain conference, is back at his studies at Colorado University, but he has mt lost hope of clearing the Major League barrier one of these days.
 Subry dropped out of college last spring to pitch for Jackson, Miss, in the Cotton States League, where he won IS and lost nine. Then he was transferred to Beaumont of the Texas League, winning four of his six games with that club.
 Beaumont is a Detroit farm and Subrey said he felt he had "the best chance yet" of getting a trial in big league company.
 The husky right handler helped pitch c. U. to a tie for the confer ence title in 1884 and to an undis- puted championship in 1885.

JACK LOvELOCK BADLY BEATEN
 AT OWN GAME
Rival at Olympic Game s Gets Hunch, Uses It
 Successfully
By WHITNEY MARTIN

EMPORIA, nas., Oct. 28.-When Jack Lovelock loped to a new world record in the Olympic 1500-meter race at Berlin, he didn't realize he was paving the way for his own defeat in the mile race at Prince ton October 3.
 Among the athletes who ate the New Zealander's dust in Berlin was Archie San Romani, slim, dark eyed, 24-year old student of music at Emporia Teachers College.
 Studying Lovelock's style, San Romani noticed the close approach to complete relaxation. He pirated the idea and turned the tables on his Olympic conquerors when they met at Princeton.
 Advised by Cunningham
 Besides the relaxing business, the Emporia runner, who has been something of a shadow to Glenn Cunningham, Gene Venzke and other better knows, also analysed the Olympic champions pace as he barged to the tape in fourth place at Berlin
 Cunningham, with whom San Ro- mani bunked in the Olympic Vil- lage, told him Lovelock could sprint better than any middle -distancer for 250 yards or So-but after that he was through
 Consequently, San Romani plan ned to sprint the last 500 yards at Princeton, in which Cunningham also ran (pun intended). Cunning ham advised his fellow Kansan not to pay any attention to him, Cunningham. I'm not in good shape" Glenn advised his protege and companion. "The thing for you to do is watch Lovelock"
 San Romani, therefore, passed Cunningham and hung on Love locks heels until the final 500 yards. Whipping into his sprint, he discovered Cunningham's tip was straight; that Lovelock had to give up his kick" and settle back into stride before the tape was reached.
 Timed at 4:o9 flat, San Romani ran one of the fastest miles of all time that day. He hopes to knock over Cunningham's 4.06.7 world record for the mile made on the same Princeton track.
 Out for 194O Games
 T really believe I can do better" ne says. Cunningham has given me fine advice, I learned a lot from that Olympic race, and I be- lieve that studying Lovelocks style has done me some good. Lovelock and l are about the same build and height, so I have tried to adapt my style to his.'
 The new mile sensation, who was not regarded as a serious threat until the Olympic trials despite the fact he was 1885 national col legiate mile champion, plans to keep in shape until next February when he will open his campaign to beat the mile record indoors.
 He'll run considerably through out next season, then rest. Two years before the 1940 Olympics in Japan, Archie will start condition ing again.
 "I'd like to win the Olympic 1,5oO-meter race before retiring" he says.

Baylor $ Grooming Quarter Mixes Song with Signals
 -Tosses Out Tunes
By FELIX MCKNIGHT

WACO, Tex, Oct. 28-Triple- threater Lloyd Russell, who can
 hit high 70" and an enemy line
 without dropping a note, is rip ping off gains to his own vocal
 accompaniment in the Southwest
 Conference again.
 The Baylor University quarter back is no Bing Crosby but he likes
 to sing and does so on or off the gridiron.
 Two seasons ago Russell broke into song as he romped away on a punt return against tune-up op-
 ponent. Jinx Tucker, a veteran
 Waco sports editor, caught bar or two, fumbled at his typewriter and came up with a paragraph about
 the "crooning quarterback It not only stuck-it spread Subc0nscious Singing Fans Hooked to the stadium to
 see and hear the slippery Russell in action-a youngster who could run touchdowns and the scales si- simultaneously.
 Russell insists his vocal accom- plishments have been greatly ex- aggerated and explains T have a peculiar habit of call ling signals after the ball is snap nod ofto, oftar I,,,, taoLlad Cor,e

 me that just before I am tackled

 don't wilfully start singing, but I
 have caught myself doing it."
 Head Coach Morley Jennings shorts when the subject is men, toned. He respects Russell as a
 triple -threater but when the extra threat" of grooming is tossed in, he labels it 'tommyrot." Gets Chances on Radio But Russell doesn't object to be- ling called the "crooning quarter back name that brought him a couple of radio offers, both de-
 clined.
 The son of mail-carrier, Rus | sell ranks with the best of the Southwest Conference backs, is one of the few 4-lettermen in Texas
 and one of the brightest young
 baseball prospects hereabouts. Rumor says he is to have a fling in baseball under the guidance of the Cleveland Indians after his graduation.
 On top of all his other accom- plishments, in baseball, football,
 track and baseball, he's a star performer with the textbooks-an honor student.

All Three Got Away,

ALLENTOWN, Pa, Oct. 28.- Henry s. Drinker, lawyer -traveler, returned from British Columbia with this fish story:
 T was fishing in a clear pool when a small rainbow trout took the line. Along came two big bull trout, chasing it. Just as I had the line near the surface, one of the bull trout swallowed the small one. I was just about to net him when he opened his mouth and out came the small one, still alive. The line broke and the last I saw, all three trout were headed downstream"

 The season has been a pleasant puzzle" said the circus chief. We've had our best year since 1929, and Presidential election years long have been the hardest sea- sons for the circus. But not this year. We've had to turn away crowds in dozens of places.
 If that's barometer, I don't know what it gauges, but it's been a good circus year"

THE sesquicentennial. or 150th A anniversary. of the adoption of the U. s. Constitution is to be held in 1887. and one of the first sug- gestions for that event Is the issue of q set of commemorative stamps totaling 65 or 75 cents in face val ue. Representative Sol Bloom of New York. who sponsored the Washington bicentennials in 1882, Is responsible for the new idea. He believes that the entire bill for the sesquicentennial celebration could Se paid by stamp collectors.
 Cover colIectingshas fallen much in the esteem of many enthusiasts because of the petty and ridiculous occasions that are being cooked up Tor this purpose. The height rather. the depth--0f folly in this branch of phiIately is the recent offer of a cachet artist to sponsor covers for mailing on the 18th birthday of Jean Harlow!

 They came out shrieking with laughter at the intrduer'S red-faced discontinue.
 They went straightway to the sun deck where already people were playing Crossing the Equator in the canvas pool and exposing themselves to the actinic rays of the sun. They lay down, and propping their chins on their el- bows, waited for the sun to start a tan. Jane knew she had to be careful, but Dirk was already as brown as an Indian.
 A few feet away they saw boy and girl in bathing suits like themselves, and tanning. The boy was looking at the girl, leaning very close toward her, gazing at her in- tently as if there were nothing else on land or sea. It was Ken Martin, the crooner and the young dancer, Linda Bayes. They were completely oblivious of the other people, and once Ken said, half-aloud: Linda, promise me. when we get back to New York from this cruise"
 He looked around and blushed, then he spoke to Jane with his pleasant drawl. Don't mind me. Didn't mean to propose before an audience" Then he grinned. i've asked her so much it's like saying how-do-you-do? Don't you think she ought to marry me2" he add- cd.
 Linda Bayes merely laughed at him. "I'll never marry Q crooner, not as long as I live" she said.
 Ken Martin scoffed. "1'm not a crooner by nature. It was grafted on me. I learned how to sing on the open range"

 well, you know these shipboard romances" Linda said.
 Jane laughed, and forgot all about the strained feeling she had known in the city. She was genu- finely sorry when the young pair went down to rehearsal. They seemed to adore each other. She enjoyed a vicarious thrill in know ing their love. Everything that had happened on shipboard had conspired to bring her a happiness she had never known before.
 When she had all the sun her skin would take for 0 first exposure she got up to go. They went to the dressings rooms and came out ready for some easier relaxation in deck chairs.
