Manchoukuo Rail,vay to A Build siOlympic Trains"
 for I94O Olympic Cames

MUKDEN, Manchoukuo, Feb. 9 Four special olympic trains, costing $500,OO0, are to be built by the Manchoukuo State railway for the 1940 Olympic Games in Japan Most participants and spectators from Europe are expected to come via Siberia and Manchuria.
 Each of the four Olympic spec ials" will consist of two mail and baggage cars, one third-claSs car, four second-class cars, one dining car and three first-class cars. These trains connecting with the Trans Siberian line at Manchouli will carry travellers to Dairen or to the Korean port of Fusan.
 Visitors Should Spend
 It is estimated that 5000 or 1000 will be the minimum of tourists and athletes who will, in 1940, travel to Japan via Manchuria. The total fares collected by the railway should be approximately $230,000 and the railway estimates that very con- siderable sum of money will be spent in this country by visitors during the long stops at Harbin, Hsinking and Mukden.
 Eight runs will be made before and after the Olympic Games Manchouli to Dairen is about 1,17O miles, while the Manchouli-Fusan run is about 500 miles longer. At present trains from Moscow reach Manchouli every Wednesday and Saturday, the 5340-mile trip from Berlin taking just eight days.
 Other Improvements
 Preparations have already con- menced for the speeding up of pas senger service through Manchuria and Korea, paralleling plans which have already been announced by the Japanese Government railways
 The Chosen Government railways plan improvements along the Fusan- Antung line, so that passengers be- tween the Manchurian border at the Yalu river and the dock at Flu san may make the trip in 13 hours, three hours and 30 minutes faster than at present The South Man. churia railway is planning to inn prove the line through the pictur- esque country from Antung to Muk- den, making that run in four and half hours instead of the present five and a half.

RIENDEAU RULES
 ROOKIES' ALLEY .R00S.Ts AT ELkS
Iverson High in Singles Helldivers, Kingfishers,
 Magpies Victors

Francis Riendeau with 570 total and L. E. Iverson with 210 game and 538 total were the class of the field in the Rookie session at the Elks alleys last night. All in all, the Rockies at that, totalled better than 1850 pins.
 Riendeau paced the Helldivers to the top total of l,526 and clean sweep over the Buzzards; the sole Buzzard on deck being Albert Vile who was able to scavenge 480 pins, but not enough to put his team even close.
 Iverson,s 210 game clinched the deciding engagement for the King fishers in their fight with the Pin tils, and the Magpies opened with an odd game win over the Beagles. The Elks alleys will be held clear tonight for the approach of the mighty Ringers, as the Treetoads and the Alligators take their turn on the maple at 7:30. The Prairie Dogs will oppose the Crocodiles at 8.30 and the Mustangs the Arma- dillos at 9:30. Last nights scores

Heart Outside Chest as Baby
 Girl Is Born

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 9.--An infant girl. born with her heart outside the body, is in St. Louis Children's Hospital. Physicians do not believe the girl will live.
 The heart, uncovered by tissue. lies on the center of the chest with its base connected to the larg- CT blood vessels. It's beating is plainly visible. Possibilities of an operation to place the heart inside the chest were remote.
 The baby is resting comfortably in an incubator.
 Infants occasionally are born with their hearts near the outer edge of the chest cavity and covered only by a thin layer of tissue. But an entirely exposed organ is ex- tremely rare.

Lessons Learned at Memor. lal Day Classic to Be

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, Feb. g. The lessons in fuel efficiency which come out of the 500-mile race at Indianapolis this May 3l will be immediately passed on to the mo- toring public. The cars must use stock gasoline obtainable at the cor ner filling station and the mixture will be subjected to intense scrutiny by the technical committee.
 For the first time in four years drivers will be allowed an unlim- tied amount of fuel but never be- fore in the history of racing at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway have they been confined as to the mix ture. Heretofore they have used a "hopped-up" fuel that often has been as far away from ordinary gasoline as the lightning rod on the Empire State Building is from the subway, Now it must come from the same pump where MT. John O Public fills up his tank.

 Has Made Discovery
By BILL BORING

ATLANTA. Feb 9. - Wiry Bop Smith, pitching warhorse of the Boston Bees. believes he has found baseball natural
 It's his son, lSyear-old Bob, IT,, a high school pitcher of no-hit fame.
 If that boy isn't big league tim Der" says Bob, ST, with no apologies for paternal pride, then don't know ball-players. He's got every thing a pitcher ought to have
 "Everything, according to Smith. consists of: Height, long arms loose joints. no surplus flesh, cool-head- edness and plenty of control.
 His sneaker is wow Papa Smith gees on and on. Tt had some of the boys on our club guessing when he threw em over in batting practice last summer. He's cool as cucumber and has more control than any kid I've ever seen"
 When young Bob is ready for the big time Bob ST., says, he plans to pack away his own uniform.
 Can't Wait For Spring
 But I won't quit until then" he declares. And maybe I will keep on pitching if the minors keep sending us the kind of pitchers they've been sending" ,x,c,,-lc,.,o,, v,tl,l cot, Innk ho n cx on IA years in the big leagues, Smith says he is just as eager for spring practice today as he was when he first played pro ball.
 He is spending the winter hunt ing quail and giving his son tips on how to pitch baseball and shoot basketball through the hoop
 Bob, jr., is captain of the Boys high school cage team here.
 "He can handle that basketball, too" declares Bob, ST., who says he ought to know because he has played the game himself.
 T used to play on the Agoga five" says Smith. Tt was cracker jack team in these parts"
 Coaches Twirlers The veteran divides his time be- tween pitching and coaching mound aces on the Boston club.
 He says he pitched the greatest game of his career against St. Louis last season.
 Set down 22 Cardinals in a row." Smith recalls, and didn't give up but two hits"
 His formula for longevity in base ball is: Take care of yourself
 Smith is 37, happily married, and the father of three sons-"all ball. players" he says.
 He believes baseball today is more of scientific game"
 Were getting a good many ex- college stars and they'e smart" he remarks. They're having an up lifting influence on the game as a whole, think"
 Smith says Dizzy Dean and Carl Hubbell have ideal builds for pitching.
 They're tall, rangy. loose jointed and haven't lot of muscles to tie them up."

TWO CITY HOP
 CLASHES SET
 FOR TONIGHT
Strong Teams to Meet Tn Doubleheader-
 pions Should Show

A big double header evening ot basketball is scheduled for 8:30 o. clock tonight in the High School gym when the up and coming Fire men meet the DeMolay quintet, the team that gave them such a trounc- ing when they met earlier in the season. But the tables will be turned tonight for the Bremen have one of the strongest teams now and from all observances are out to capture the City League title.
 In the preliminary, starting at 7:30 o'clock, Douglas, champions of the first round, are favored to win from the GraveSmen; but again, the under dogs might sur prise the Islanders like they did the DeMolays recently when they tied the score and called for five minute overtime.
 The two strongest teams of the City League are playing tonight, not each other, but from their showings in tonight's games the eventual victor should appear.
