But what to do with the dog? It isn't everyone that you can walk up to and, handing them leash with a ma ddog, froth attached, on the other end of 1t and say:
 Hold him little while, will you?"
 was within speaking distance of wits end when all my problems were solved by the sight of 8 street sweeper, unconcernedly pushing his cart along the gutter. My heart leapt with joy, for I realized that in the street-swceper I had the ideal "man in the street"-one who is in the street from, morn til night
 Dog Charges
 The dog charged him StraightWays and attracted his attention by snap ping him three or four brisk snaps on the ankles. With magnificent presence of mind the fellow grabbed the dog by the throat-latch Git al- ways hangs out and is easily recog- nized by the word welcome" printed on it in large letters). showed him into the car, and slammed the lid.
 For several minutes had diffi- cult time getting the fellow to talk of the Braddock-LewiS fight. He was extremely anxious about his ankles, and wanted to know if the dog were really mad. I calmed him by ex- plaining he wasn't mad in the ac- cepted sense of the word, but only a bit daffy from the noon-day sun and constant companionship with the Englishman.
 "What Englishman?" he demand ed suspiciously.
 "The Englishman that just got hit by heavy sedan while buttonng a spat," I explained.
 DON'T YOU BITE MET" he an- swered.
 Finally I got around to asking him about the fight and he had no opinion.
 Didn't even know they was hav- ing fight" he said. Must be a coupla bums."
 This reply stunned me. I could feel the heavy chills that always precede chronic disillusionment. was it possible that the man in the street" didn't have an opinion?
 He insisted he didn't, so l turned away. Then a thought seized me As soon as it had relinquished US grip I grabbed the arm of a blonde who was passing. l would scoop the world and get the opinion of the woman in the street. <.
 But her yell of officer" panicked me, so I made off.
 I can't help but wonder what the street-sweeper did with the mad dog. Or, what the mad dog did with the street-sweeper. Because he really was quite mad dog, you know. (Copyright, 1887, by United Press)

 Jersey Jim revealed he could be hit hard and often with either hand in his eight weeks of training. But the superb conditioning of his 31- year-old legs made his packers l'e. lieve he could stand up under the brutal jabs and left hooks of the challenger.
 He appered to be in far better condition that he was the night he won the title. He didn't have the cracked ribs he received in training i shortly before the Baer match. Louis has been slow-footed and wide open in his drills, but his train CTS insisted he is in perfect condi- ton, as good as he ever has been and far better than he was when Schmeling knocked him out a yesr ago.
 It was expected that almost half the crowd tonight will be negroes.
 Braddock was the first contestant to reach Chicago. He motored in from Grand Beach, Mich, yeStarday with his party.
 The champion expected to weigh 195 pounds. Louis, who scaled 1854 at the end of his drills Sunday, probabl will weigh in at 198 or l9S pounds. He always gains weight the day of the bout. The first of seven preliminary bouts will be staged at 6:S0 p. m. 1 (CST) with the main event coming up some time between 8:30 and 800 f D. m.

FAST GETAWAY AND STRONG LUNGS
 CHIEF ASSETS IN SPEED SWIMMING
BY JACK POBUK Noted Swimming Instructor

Speed! And more speed!
 That's the ultimate goal for the swimmer, as for any athlete.
 Perhaps the day will come when the idea of killing ourselves to set e new mark will be abandoned, but until that day we aer always trying to outrace one another, even in fun.
 Before entering any actual com- petition, however, it is most wise to be in proper condition. Then, too, you must practice carefully con- trol, relaxation, coordination, and rhythm.
 And most important in speed swimming is the start. Today's ex- ercises will help you increase your loung power and teach you the proper start.
 Exercises
 Breath -control-Walk into waist deep water, take deep breath, close mouth, submerge. Under water ex- hale through nose. Push yourself upward with feet, springing up above surface. (Note: Force all air out through mouth as, holding it produces rapid fatigue).

BING CROSBY'S RAGING PLANT
 OPENS JULY 3
Film NOtables to Manage Ornate Turf Club
 At Del Mar
BY ARTHUR N. soUvERKRuP

BY ARTHUR N. SOUVERKRUP United Press Staff Correspondent
 Del Mar. Cal, June 1S.-CUP).- A $l,000,000 racing plant almost as picturesque as studio motion pic ture set, will be opened here July by Harry L. Crosby, known to screen and radio fans as "Bing."
 The new Del Mar turf club, which Crosby heads, undoubtedly borrowed many of it. decorative ideas from the screen for, in addition to Crosby the list of officers and directors reads like roll-call of cinema greats.
 Pat o'Brien, George Raft, Wesley Ruggles, Bogart Rogers, Howard Hawks, Harry Cohn and William Le Baron are only a few of the impor- tant cinema personages listed with Crosby's as officers and directors oi the track here.
 The entire plant is designed in early California Mission style-even to the stables, and jockey quarters which are of adobe construction.
 Color Scheme Rich
 Even ornate Agua Caliente a scant 50 miles to the south can hardly compete in sheer color with Del Mars towered-grandstand and club house, with its brilliant colored awnings, its brown walls and green tile roofs.
 The setting at beautiful Santa Anita 100 miles north is equalled ii not surpassed. The same type of mountains face the clubhouse, across a rolling valley of orchards, while behind the grandstand is the broad Pacific Ocean almost literally with in a stones throw.
 Stable space for 800 horses is pro- vided at the track and weeks ago all of that was reserved. In fact, It is rumored that Crosby almost missed setting aside place for his string of runners. He forgot to make reservations, they say, until only few stalls were left and track officials had to remind him to do 1t then, or he probably would not be able to watch his own horses run on his own track during the 22-day meeting.
 Stake Events on Saturdays
 Crosby has announced that throughout the season there will be daily average disbursement of $5, ,045 in purses and stakes. On week days there will be five races at $500; two at $500 and one at $700. On Wednesday an $500 race will be added while Fridays will boat a $1,000 purse. The Saturday cards will feature five races at $500, one at $500 and two stake events with purses ranging from $l,000 to $5,0O0'
 Other handicap and stake events are San Diego handicap, $1,00O added, July 3; Del Mar Inaugural, $2,500 added, July 3; Independence Day handicap, $2,00O added, July g.; Coronado handicap, $1,000 added, July 5; Motion Picture handicap, $1, ,000 added, July g; Rancho Santa Fe handicap, $1,000 added, July 10; La Jolla handicap. $500 added, July 10; Long.
