ECLAIR POISONING
OFFER IS REJECTED
Health Officials Refuse to Expose
Human Guinea Pigs" to
Contamination.


After hours of deliberation, off,
cials of the District Health Depart
ment announced today that they
would reject the offers made by Is
volunteers to act as human guinea
pigs by eating, for experimental
purposes, samples of the chocolate
eclairs which last week made several
hundred persons i'll.
Department officials said they found
no need to conduct experiments in
this manner and reported the re-
suits of laboratory tests already made,
with this official statement:
The pastries were contaminated
by certain groups of organisms COM
monty associated with food poison
ing. Cleanliness of the persons who
prepare such foods and general sani-
tation of the surroundings and re-
frigeration are most important in the
prevention of contaminated food. The
frequency of these food-borne out
breaks indicates that the pastry in
dustry should maintain higher stand
ards of personal hygiene and santa
ton.
Chemical analysis of the eclairs
shows that the f1ourides and heavy
metals were not present. The bac-
THEOLOGICAL examination of the eclairs
indicates a high degree of bacterial
contamination. Certain samples were
contaminated to the extent OF several
hundred million bacteria per gram OF
filling and two specific toxin producing
organisms were found. These organ
isms are well known and commonly
associated with food poisoning. Con-
trmatory Investigations will be carried
out"

E. Roland Hartman neither looks nor acts as though he were head of the American trotting horse turf Yet lie is President of the Grand Circuit and chairman of the Trot- ting Horse Club of America.
 He looks too young and lacks that pomposity so often associated With high office. But he has long held both jobs, having been elected tc the former in 1920 and to the latter in 1927.
 How did I ever get started With trotting horses?" Hartman ponder ed our first question. Well, 1t was a family matter. My father, E. H. was an enthusiasiast who liked no- thing better than to race his trotters against all corners.
 Since my mother was equally in- terested in trotters, although women in those days did not race, it was natural that my older brother, Av- erell. and I grew up in the same tradition

 Heavily increasing business re- responsibilities sidetracked Averell but Roland, although likewise much concerned with growing activities in financial marts, has constantly maintained his interest n the sport
 No, l am never too busy to talk trottng," Hartman smiled.
 "Trotting horsemen, you know are rather strange breed. They are in the sport for sports sake alone. in nearly every case.
 Takes A Handicap
 We are not half as interested in winning races as in enjoying the sport first hand. Any owner, man or woman, can not only help train his or her horses whenever the urge strikes, but can race in competition either against amateurs or against the professional fields"
 Although Hartman never would disclose the facts himself, we learn ed that has brand of sportsmanship once included turning over the best horses from his own stable to a group of four rival reinsmen, for a race in which he participated with Ia second-string horse. In other words he gave up his best horses to his friendly enemies and, as might have been expected, he was soundly beaten.

Robins, Kingfishers and 1reetoads Winners in

As the new tourney opened the aplomb of the masters was very nearly shattered at the Elks last night, only Fd Radde re5erving to the scratch bowlers the honor of their exalted position, when his 612 total tended off the thrust of a rookie usurpcr. l.. t. Iverson.
 Perhaps too secure in the en- trenchment of their elevated rank as members of the Ringers Circuit, all but Radde left themselves wide open to the shots of Iverson, as the lowly Roo'-ie bettered their marks and rolled the second top total of the night, STA In the single games division, however. the laurels were rightly reserved to the Ringers, Raddes PIT, being seconded by Jack Elliott's 2l3. but, third high single game was rolled by neither a mighty Ringer, nor an upstart Rookie, but | fell to the Woman's wiles of Mrs. Martin Lavenik. of the Oriole League, who led her Robins trio to two out of three game victory over the Bluebirds.
 Radde's inspired effort was not quite enough, though. to snare for his Prairie Dogs squad, the honors of the night over the opposing trio of Ringers performing under the cog ncmen of Treetoads; the latter with both Elliott and Fred Henning roll ing 568 totals, capturing the odd game of the match.

CLEVELAND MAY
 STAGE BIC 60 FOR TITLE H0N0RS
City Reported Negotiating for Braddock- -Schmel-

NEW YORK, Jan. 1y.-Cleveland the scene of the Schmeling- -Strib- ling heavyweight championship a few years ago, is reported as enter ing negotiations to take over the slightly harassed enterprise where by James J. Braddock was-and maybe is-to defend the title against Max Schneling in June. Chicago is also being considered
 The purported offer of transfer of site to Cleveland calls for a straight guarantee of $400,000 from Promoter Walter Taylor of the Ohio Sports Club, with the announcement he proposed to put the fight on at the Municipal Stadium in connec- tion with the Great Lakes Exposi- tion next summer. Neither Madison Square Garden or Mike Jacobs, who holds a joint contract on the fight and are currently wishing they did not, would comment beyond brief statement by Promoter Johnson of the Garden
 Half-MilIion Gate
 This was to the effect he be-
 lieved the fight would draw
 $500,000 here in spite of threat
 ened boycotts, picketings and re-
 prisals by various anti-Nazi
 groups opposed to Schmeling.
 The Municipal Stadium at Cleve- land is the impressive structure which, on that hot summer five years ago had 80,00O seats and wound up with nobody in them. However, this was a not wholly un- expected development, owing to the eccentric antics of Bill Carey, pro- moter, who set himself up in oppo- sition to Bill Carey, philanthro- pist, with results that were ordain- ed
 Played Give-Away
 MT. Carey sold 5000 tickets and gave away 12,000, and when
 the town became pleasurably
 aware of what was taking place 1t responded in very grasping
 manner. It took it's business to
 the MT. Carey who was distri-
 outing tickets for nothing, even
 up-and disdained the MT Carey
 with soul so dea d he would wish to sell tickets for sordid gain.
 The result has always been held up as a token of New Years sup posedly anointed right to all heavy weight championship promotions; whereas it proved nothing except that when you have second rate fight. it is great deal easier to give it away than sell it.
