ley drivers until he was forced out
on the eighteenth lap.
Elliott started in absolutely last
place, passed Maxwell on the eighth

the 18th round. Hetzel, however,
forced Elliott out of the event by
humping the l.. A. driver and break
ing wheel on Andersons auto.
Hobart Herrick, who won the race

MACKEY OUT
FOR REVENGE
IN TUES. BOUT

Wilson Mackey, hard hitting
Bakersfield lightweight, will return
to the Brawley arena Tuesday
night to seek revenge over Shorty
Hogue in the main event
Shorty was awarded a decision
over Mackey in the first meeting
between the two fighters but ring
experts generally agreed that the
judges erred in their decision.
Hogue has not been looking gooc
in his past several scraps, due un.
doubtedly to oVertraining as the
twin has fought once each week for
more than two months, and as a
result Mackey is slightly favored
to pin back the ears of the clever
Jacumban.
Jimmy Casino and Art Gonzalez
will tangle in the semi windup in g
rematch that threatens to steal
the show.
Six other bouts are carded On the

sign they'll fight in Chicago, that
Louis is scared of Schmeling that
Max is scared of Joe and that the

All stuff and nonsense.

big money Everybody knows that
It is only common sense to believe
that promoter, whose sole aim ir
life is to make what we often call
dough, will manage to get them
together.
Enough of that.
I came up here to see Louis work
work for Farr. He diGnt do bles-
sed thing except take five mile
ride in the back seat of an automo-
bile. | am forced to admit that do
ing nothing he looked better than
Farr doing anything he can do

hat-Louis doing anything-is more
impressive than Farr fighting. !

right now.
There's no use waiting until to-
morrow, when the better and out

that if Louis were told to go out
there and knock that Welshmsn flat
and kicking in one minute he could
do it with just as much ease as
that trapeze guy flew through the

contest.
Portland aslo made it three out

He was very fine looking little
bird. Sort of a cross between a
thrush and a pelican, with a silver
chest and set of very fine rings
round his neck
I listened to the little bird. After
q very learned talk on worms he
suddenly switched TO boxing and
announced, with no qualification
whatsoever, that Max Schmeling
and Joe Louis had been signed to
fight for the heavyweight champion
ship of the world
With a ruffle of his feathers the
little bird went on TO say that Max
and Joe would fight on October
the first, ana that they would
fight in Yankee Stadium.
1 tossed Brother James TO one
side and put in a hurried call to
Mike Jacobs, the man who owns
all prizefighters.
Don't know a thing about it"
Mike said. Maybe We'll sign Max
and Joe after Joe fights Tommy
Farr, but there1l be no business
done until then"
To come right out and say so,
Mixes answer was a lot of horse

Banana" Diet for
Ducks Supplied by
Odd Water Plants

Grinnell, Iowa.-'Duck ba.
nanas," considered good food for
water fowl, do not grow on ba.
mana trees or anything like
them. They are the product of
two kinds of water plants, one
a water lily and one a gentian,
explains Prof. H. S. Conard of
Grinnell college, for many
years a specialist on the water
lilies.
The "duck bananas" are really
little clumps of short, thick roots,
that look for all the world like pig
my Glands" of bananas. They are
rich with stored food materials, and
ducks are believed to be very fond
of them.
So widely is this doctrine accept
ed that persons Interested in re-
building our wild fowl population
have been buying and planting them
by the bushel. The bananas" al
though tropical in origin, can be
grown successfully as far north as
Massachusetts and Minnesota.
It is commonly stated that "duck
bananas" are borne on the roots Of
only one kind of plant, the Mexican
water lily, which is hence called the
banana water lily. However, Pro
lessor Conard has shown there are
two distinct kinds.
The second kind is borne not by
a water lily but by quite unrelat
ed plant known as floating heart,
from the shape of its leaves. It's
bananas" grow out from the leaf
stems, near the surface of the wa.
ter. They wash ashore in great
quantities and can be gathered by
the bushel. They are rich in insulin,
the carbohydrate that made the Je
rusalem artichoke famous. The
food in the bananas" borne by the
true water lily is ordinary starch.
