America Cup Competition Looms Very Keen
AGAWAM OFF TO' STELLAR START.
 OVER HOLIDAY.
Over s5OO,OOO Bet on Horses in Two Days;
 Waterbury Handicap

Springfield, June 1--As a result of the most sensational weekend in the history of any race track in America, Agawam park is the talk of the turf world today.
 On Saturday and yesterday, more than half a million dollars poured out of more than 36,00O pockets, went through the pari-mutuel ma- chinery of the plant, and returned to other pockets, in the greatest demonstration of popular approval ever recorded for any sport In this part of the world.
 The little race track that never had chance, the under-dog track that was kicked around and ignored has come into it's own, to establish itself firmly among the great race tracks in the country, and to hold up its head in the proud company of glorious 'Gansett, Suffolk Downs, and Rockingham Park.
 . Yesterday, all records went crash ing into the discard, as the greatest crowd in the sporting history of Western New England = 23,23O - wagered $318,889 on the eight race card. The previous record, set last July 4, was. $270,945.
 New Marks
 As the record for the mutuel handle and the record for attend ance fell, they dragged with them every other record. The new mark for wagering on a single race was set when Master Lad beat Bubble some after 8 thrilling stretch duel in the feature race. In that race alone, $48,003 was bet. The daily double handle, too, hit 22,04S, to set new mark for future days to aim at.
 Waterbury Handicap
 With its opening Saturday and holiday behind it, Agawam now squares away for the remaining days of its meeting. Feature race of the mid-week card tomorrow will be the Waterbury Handicap, five and one-half furlongS even for an $500 purse.
 J. A. Manfuso, who won the sub- urban Handicap yesterday with An- eroid, has mentioned True Tone for the event, and other speedy sprint CTS who have been named are L. H. Nimkoff's Beefsteak, Phil Schwartz's Bloddock, Major G. L. Stryker's Dunnamany, Ivan Parke's Dash- along, William V. Dwyer's Lucky Jean, Fred Tomeo'S Pass Elm By, and R. V. Boyle's Ritorno.
 The races have been hard-fought, rip-roaring affairs, and with 700 thoroughbreds on the grounds, the meeting will certainly be the great est in the history of Agawam park.

The pI X NY<>F
Master Promoter Would Have Tried Anything From icket Scandal to Kidnapping, But Would Have
 at Least Known Where He Stood

Dempsey would box with Brad dock, and declare that idleness had nothing to do with his defeat by Tunney.
 Tunney would inspect Braddock and tell the writers that fellow with Jersey Jim's left hand should be able to whip anybody, regard less of the condition of his legs, and the Irishman's pins would look all right to the Manly Marine. Tex Would Give It Socks Appeal
 Tony Galento or some other ham, donny would show up at Louis headquarters, Haunting challenge, and then Braddock would belt him out.
 Braddock would knock out 39 other blokes. Louis would show un- mistakable signs of being utterly unable to take too good whack on the whiskers.
 There would be 8 scarlet fever scare, or something, in the Brad dock family, with the champion keeping in touch via long distance throughout a couple of nights. Louis would disappear for day, and there would be chatter about a mysterious trip to Detroit.
 Rickard would order dietitian to Kenosha, with the explanation that Louis was eating himself out of his chance.
 Braddock would rescue a pretty girl from the lake. Louis would be threatened by kidnapers, and somebody would take a shot at him.
 Both principals would be sued and Jim Mullin, or some other Chi cago promoter would seek to en- join Rickard from edging in on his territory.
 Although he would not have per- mitted legal entanglements to limit him to 30 days, it would have beer interesting to see Tex Rickard rush Braddock- buildup.
 The beak busting business doesn't miss Old Tedge-much.

Sensitiveness.

CENSITIVENESS is fundamentally
sign of intelligence. And by
intelligence I mean an ability to see
what's going on.
Nature carries out plan whereby
those Of its creatures that are des-
tined to live most and to contribute
most, must also sense most. Superb
ority is not attainable without sensi-
tivity or irritability. That's why
geniuses, as rule, suffer from in
somnia, indigestion and sometimes
insanity. In fact, the much -talked-of
insanity of genius" appears to be
nothing other than the fowering-out
of a highly sensitive set of nerves
The behavior of the genius is bound
to be erratic at times.
The sensitive person is always on
the alert That's why great painters
see details in a landscape which the
insensitive cannot recognize, even after
they are reproduced. A good art critic
must be an artist himself, so far as
the nervous system is concerned
The same is true for the superior
musician. He senses tone differences
that ordinary mortals never detect.
And so 1t goes for every human en-
deavor. The great men and women
are those who are equipped to detect
what's going on about them.

Natures Children
Spotted Hyena (Hyoena crocuta).
BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY.

Y you may be paying . visit to
" your 700 and have ar oppor-
tunity to make acquaintance
L with the spotted hyena. Some
people have a habit, as you know,
of calling one, in times OF stress only.
a hyena. One may as well see what
the creature looks like.
This resident Of Africa IS the largest
member OF the tribe and the most
powerful OF the three living species
of today It Is quite unlike its cousins
in appearance as we'll as in its habits
of associating with others. There Is
also one other feature, and that is its
practice OF letting out the most un-
earthly cries, that cause cold chils
to race up and down your spine.
There are rounded spots upon his
coat. He does not possess crest, as
do some Of his relatives, and not only
is his hair shorter but his tail Is
supplied with a scanty hair coat. The
hind feet are larger than the front
ones. The legs are of almost equal
length. The ground color Of the fur
coat is a yellow shade, with brown
for the contrasting color of the spots.
The face and lower parts OF the legs
are of the same dark-brown shade.
Throughout Africa, south Of the
Sahara. the spotted hyena ranges
I. ng the eastern side Of the conti-
nent into Nubia and Abyssinia. Many
years ago there were great numbers
of them, but they have been hunted
for sport alone and for their unusual
coats.
Your side view Of the hyena does
not expose his naturally fierce ex-
preston. In fact, this creature seems
to be in a blue funk" most OF the
time, if you are to judge from pic
lures and the ones in captivity.
Nevertheless, being in mood for
fight, the animals are unusually ag-
gressive. They are wary when this
attitude suits them. They will enter
a tent, making little or no noise, and
will bolt at the slightest disturbance.
They are always hunting. Cattle
and other animals have little chance
| for their lives If the hyena has their
| number" The natives fear and hate
them. There is little rest in neigh
borhood until this invader has been
captured.
| These hunters establish regular
routes. Little care they that you
know of their smooth paths through
| the woods and over the hills. After
the night has passed, the hyenas go
to their burrows to sleep. They will
rest all day, unless there is scent

Brain Twizzlers
BY PROF. J. d. FLINT.

THREE boys, Bob, Bill and Jim,
were spending a vacation at a
ranch out West and one day they
set out on trip on horseback. They
had covered distance of 43K, miles
to a little cabin, where they stopped
to rest and have something to eat.
When they started after their picketed
horses they were dismayed to find
that two had disappeared.
After discussing the situation they
started back to the ranch, Bob and Bill
riding the remaining horse and Jim
walking. The two would go on ahead,
one would start walking, the other
returning for the boy left behind. The
horse could average 20 miles per hour,
and the boys could walk, respectively,
Bob, mile in 20 minutes; Bill, mile
in Is minutes, and Jim, a mile in IL
minutes. How could the three reach
the ranch in the shortest possible
time?
