Faster 300 Mile Race Than 1886 Event Predicted

New York, May 14.-Thunder- bolts on wheels, faster, more power full than ever, will mark the Euro pean invasion of New Roosevelt Raceway, Westbury, L. l., on July , for the second 300-mile George Vanderbilt Cup classic.
 That is the evidence provided by detailed results of the 325-mlle Tripoli Grand Prix just received here by Rraceway officials. Herr man nLang of Germany, the winner in a Mercedes, averaged l34.4l2 miles an hour over the North African course.
 But American drivers and owners, unafraid, are already well advanced in their plans to meet the new ln- vasion from Europe.
 Three scions of the Bradley Mar tin family, Townsend Bradley Mar tin, Alastair Bradley Martin and Es- mond Bradley Martin, announced today they have entered their Bal macaan racing team of three cars.
 Confident
 They insist they'll win the race or a major share of the $60,000 in prize money with American drivers, even if they have to do 1t with European road-racing cars. They have already entered a Maserati, purchased last fall from George Raph, the French driver, and a Bugatti, purchased from Mcclure Haley.
 were still convinced the good American driver has no superior, declared the brothers, "even though the European cars designed for many years especially for road-rac- ing may still be faster over such a road course as the newly construct ed Raceway."
 The Balmacaan entries marked the first filed officially for the 300- mile event on July 3. With slow turns eliminated, portions of the track banked and a new, faster sur face, experts believe the winning average will mount close to 10C miles an hour as the American stars battle the greatest of the Europeans.
 Following Lang of Germany who was timed in 2 hours, 27 minutes 57 seconds in Tripoli Sunday was eBrnd Rosemeyer, Germany, in an Auto Uion. He was scant nine sec onds behind. Three other Auto Unions driven by VonDelius, aHns Stuck and Luigi Fagioli, finished 1T that order, with a minute and 4; seconds covering the first five or this fastest of all road courses characterized by tremendow straightaways.
 Tazio Nuvolari, Italy's brilliant winner in 1886 of the George Van derbilt up, was forced out by motol trouble on the fifth lap Sunda! when nicely placed in third posi- ton. He has recovered from in juries suffere da few weeks ago Rudolf Caracciola, Germany; Dr Farina and County Briyio, Italy were amogn other top-notchers i'm. ishing with the leaders at Tripoli Several of the lears are expected tt enter at Roosevelt Raceway.

best three-year-old in the country, everybody is trying to knock down the favorite. And they are grasp ing at some pretty slender straWs: One is that it may "come up mud and turn the track into a quagm1re and trysting place for young and amorous ducks. This, mind you, despite the fact that the sun is hot ter than a depot stove, there isn't a cloud in the sky, and the sprinkler is working overtime at the tack.
 Another popular straw is that the small field will bother War Admiral. Yes, the SMALL field. They figure that if he did so well at Louisville with 20 horses at the barrier, he will be lonely homesick, and gen. orally miserable at Pimlico when fewer than ten stand beside him at the break. ..-,
 RumorS
 Another straw that's getting 8 good play is the revised plan of strategy by the owners of Pompoon and Merrymaker. It is reported that Pompoon and Merrymaker will be sent out to set blistering pace from the start, in the hope of wear ing down the Admiral. They won't lag back and wait for an opening as they did at Churchill Downs.
 Just what makes anyone think that Pompoon or Merrymaker will be able to burn out War Admiral? Merrymaker finished so far behind in the derby that a scouting party was sent out for him, and Pom- poon's only challenge of the Admiral resulted in the former being made to appear as if he were wearing of matched anvils.
 The tipoff of what the owners think of War Admiral is furnished by the PreakneSs field. Right now it appears as>+if seven thorough breds and seven only, will go to the post with him. Nobody wants any part of him. The owners figure that to pay starting fees for their beetles would be as senseless as throwing the money out the window and there is nothing to do but agree with them.
 The Admiral ran his opposition dizzy at Louisville, and while the train ride from the blue grass coun- try might have upset him a bit, there isn't much likelihood that it upset him enough to give the others more than hurried prayer. Noth- ing short of train wreck of major proportions would have done that. Copyright, 1897, by United Press)

COACH ENDORSES
 POLE VAULT NET

Philadelphia (U.P0-Pole vaulters will fall into net instead of jar ring their nervous system when they land on the ground" if plan by Ben Ogden, track coach of Temple University, succeeds.
 Ogden suggests that net similar to those used by trapeze performers be erected on the far side of the uprightS about 2 feet from the ground. A ladder on the side of the net would enable the vaulters to step down to the ground.
 Pole vaulters suffer a shock to their nervous system every time they land," Odgen said, land the net would eliminate considerable shock and leave the vaulter much fresher for the next attempt"
 The net also would aid in teaching beginners, because it would prevent their becoming fall shy," according to the coach.

MANN MATCHED
 TO BOX BLUNT
New Haven Boy Faces Tough Task in New
 York Next Week

Whatever the ultimate outcome of the Braddock Louis -Schmelling tangle, Mike Jacob is going ahead with his plans to develop future opposition for the present heavy weight leaders.
 Next Wednesday nights fistic card at the Hippodrome will feature two of the most promising of the younger crop of big fellows-Nathan Mann and Eddie Blunt, a pair of vicious punchers who have become popular favorites with metropolitan fans.
 The scrap is listed for ten rounds, but considering the seeking pro- clivities of the rivals, there isn't likely to be any tenth round. A knockout one way or the other is generally anticipated.
 Up and Coming
 Mann and Blunt have established themselves as two of the most prodigious punchers in the heavy weight ranks. New Haven Nathan, in less than three years of profess sional leather tossing, has chalked up. 26 Knockout triumphs in Al starts, while Corona Eddie, cam paigning only two years. has been credited with Il kayo wins in 20 outings, the last six in succession.
 Among Mann's outstanding per- formances have been knockouts of Ford Smith, Ralph Barbara and Terry Mitchell, and 8 brilliant deci- sion over Gunnar Barlund. Nathan also was conceded the better of Maurice Strickland, but was only awarded 8 draw when a couple of rounds were taken away from him for hitting low.
 Blunt crashed into the limelight when he knocked out the highly touted Jack Trammell in one round. He had previously stopped Eduardo Primp and Joe O'Gatty, and since then he has halted Jack Moran, Le-' roy Haynes, Salvatore Ruggeriello and Jim Howell.
 Blunt, standing 6 feet, 21h inches in altitude, and scaling close to 220 pounds, will have an advantage ober Mann of nearly three inches in height and reach and 30 pounds in weight, but Nathan will offset these physical handicaps by his greater experience.

WAR ADMIRAL IS STRONG CHOICE.
 TOBEAT RIVALS
May Be } to s Tomorrow in PreaknesS Unless
 Track Turns Muddy

Baltimore, Md, May 14.-CUP). Probably only eight of the original s5 nominations for the $50,00O add ed Preakness will be named today as starters for the 47th renewal of the historic fixture at Pimlico tomorrow.
 And muddy track will mean that only seven will go to the post be- cause Trainer Preston Burch of Matey, owned by Walter M. Jefford, announced that his horse would not be, racel over anything but firm footing.
 Samuel D. Riddles War Admiral, winner of the Kentucky derby, adds on favorite to become the sixth horse in history to score a Freak ness-Derby victory, heads the list of seven colts and one lilly.
 The others are Jerome Loucheim's s 1886 juvenile champion, Pompoon; Mrs. Julia M. Lofts Mosawtre; Miss E. G. Rand's Merrymaker; John Hay Whitney's Flying Scot; Mrs. w. H. Furst,s "Over-the-Top, and Jewell Dorsett, the Ally owned by Joe w. Brown.
 Odds on War Admiral probably will be driven down to 3-5 by post time. He will be ridden again by Charley Kurtsinger who piloted this son of Man O. War to victory at Churchill Downs last week. A muddy track may raise these odds and shorten them on Merrymaker, a noted mudlark.
 A brief shower last night did not affect the oval, and unless more rain falls before post time, the track will be fast.

CULLING PULLETS
FOUND PROFITABLE
Birds Lacking Vigor Should
Be Sent to Market.
By F. P. Jeffrey. Instructor in Poultry Hus-
bandry, New Jersey College of Agri-
culture-WNU Service.

By snd;v jeffrey Instructor in Poultry s Hus-
culture-WNU Service.
In selecting pullets for the laying
house, the poultryman has only
few criteria, but they are useful and
should be observed explicitly. Gull
ing all pullets which show lack OF
vigor and selling them for meat in
stead of housing them as layers is
important to attaining good produc-
ton.
Selection on the basis of body
weight among pullets which are uni
formly healthy unfortunately has
but little value in respect to the
number of eggs laid per year.
In case the poultryman has an
excess of healthy pullets, however,
he might still profitably discard the
smallest birds for two reasons. In
the first place there is a we'll
marked relationship between body
weight and egg weight. In other
words, the small pullets will tend
to produce the smallest eggs during
the year. In the second place, it
has been observed in focks bred for
high egg production that there is
slight tendency for the large birds
to show higher INABILITY during the
pullet year.
1t is a well-recognized fact that
the poultryman doing his own breed
ing should at all times avoid small
body size when choosing birds for
the breeding pens. The reason for
such selection is that body size is
inherited, and by eliminating small
birds from the breeding pen the
body size of the entire flock
will profit.
