Wander Nicer Is
 Better'n Teller,
 Mel 0tt Believes

NEW YORK, July 28.-The Ma tional leagues boy wonder is Gin cinnati's Johnny Wander Nicer. This rookie southpaw hurled two success sive no-hit, no-run games, a feat that had never been accomplished in 100 years of baseball.
 The American leagues boy won- der is Cleveland's Bob Teller. He blinded the batters with the speed of his fast ball late in 36. He's still under voting age.
 Mel Ott, one of the few major league players who has batted number of times against both of these youngster aces, rates Van der Nicer first.
 Control makes Wander Nicer a better pitcher than Teller" says Ott, the New York Giants third baseman. You'll remember that Ott himself was a boy wonder years ago. He's under 30 now and he's been in the big leagues for 13 y6dlS. JdWll MC1IdW DlCktQ Illktl up almost out of the cradle of his Louisiana home.
 They're both darn good pitch CTS and I wish we had them on our club. They're about the same size I'd say that Wander Nicer now has faster fast ball than Teller has. although it's not as fast as Feller's was last year.
 They've both got good curve balls. Wander Nicer has a pretty fair slow ball, but he doesn't use it much. Wander Nicer has more poise out there but that's because he has better control. It's that con- trol that gives you boise and con- fidence
 T guess one of them will be about as good as the other as long as both are in the big leagues, but Wander Nicer should last longer. He has a smooth delivery, while Feller's throwing is jerky."

PHILADELPHIA, July 28.-When Hershel Martin, Philadelphia Phil lies outfielder, came to the big leagues he tried to pattern after the batting styles of such aces as Joe Medwick. Mel Ott and Arky Vaugh- an. He found he couldn't hit the size of his hat. So he forgot all about other styles and just started hitting the ball with a stance and swirE that was comfortable for him. The result is that he is now one of the National leagues leading hitters.

Stationary wash tubs can be made to work every day in the week by the installation of several handy adjuncts.
 The wash tub can be enclosed on sides and at the bottom in cabi- net which will afford a storage space for little-used utensils, vases, and those patent kitchen appliances that the husband will bring home from time to time. A plain wooden top, which can be used for cutting, chopping, and preparing vegetables and meats, is also a worthwhile addition.

But aviation circles are confident
the new Douglas, when completed. will
span almost $50 feet from wingtip to
wingtip and weigh about 100000
pounds.
That would be nearly twice the
wingspre9d and thrice the weight Of
any landplane ever built before. That
also would be the answer to the United
States military need Of long-range
striking forces In the air..
II adapted to peacetime use, the
plane would be in the 100-passenger
class Of airliner.
Largest land plane in the world to-
day is the Army's Boeing xB-15, with
a Widespread Of $50 feet and gross

When a professional automobile
race driver flashes across the finish
line in the Memorial Day race at the
Indianapolis Speedway or tries to roll
up a new speed record on the salt
flats Of Utah, his time is recorded by
equipment of the American Automo-
bile Association.
The same type of equipment will
be used to tell the time of every boy
who drives his own racer In The Star
American Legion Soap Box Derby
this summer.
Timing will mean something to
every boy in the Derby, because there
will be special prizes for those who run
the fastest heats on the local Derby
course.
Ted Allen, secretary Of the Contest
Board of the A. A. A., central agency
Of race track drivers and automobile
race promoters all over the United
States, will be In charge Of timing for
the Soap Box Derby. He will be
assisted by Steve Crick and James H.
Lamb Of the A. A. A. stafi.
Consists Of Three Units.
The timing outfit consists of three
units. These include the lamphouse
and the cellhouse, boxlike units that
cast beam Of light across the finish
line. When q racing car crosses the
line, it breaks the beam, and this
flashes signal from the cellhouse to
the timing machine, which records the
time on strip Of tape.
The number of each boys coaster
car will be spotted as he finishes the
heat and viii be penciled on the tape
beside his time. The starting time
will be telephoned from the starting
ramp to the finish line, and Just few
seconds later the racers will be break
ing the beam.
Since the Soap Box Derby became a
national event in 1884, the American
Automobile Association has Cooper
ated with its sponsors in many large
cities. Mr.. Allen, who oficiates At
many Of the professional automobile
races, is Soap Box Derby fan and
predicts that in the next year or two
"the Derby will be one of the biggest
events IN Washington"
Poor Boy Has . Chance.
"one thing that impresses me about
the Derby" he declared, "is that the
poor boy has just as good chance Is
the rich boy to win. have seen .
lot Of derbies, and I have seen the
car inspectors disqualify the cars Of
boys who have built something 10
elaborate that it violates derby rules I"
He recalled q few isolated cases in
which wealthy parents were estimated
to have spent SIS or 500 on material
for their sons racers. This year, the
cost limit is $40, and many cars will
cost far less than this sum. "The
Soap Box Derby is the finest youth
activity know" Mr.. Allen said. 1T
promotes the spirit of competition.
Keeps boys of the streets, gives them
