STORYTELLING STARTS
 SAD HOMECOMING

New York. July 2.-(UP).-Max Schmeling, who will sail for Ger many on the Bremen tonight, was taken aboard the liner secretly last night.
 By stretcher and ambulance he was transferred to the ship from Polyclinic hospital where he has been confined by back injury he suffered when knocked out by Joe Louis in their heavyweight cham pionship fight 10 days ago.
 Schmeling'S manager, Joe Jacobs, explained the move was made be- cause Max wanted to avoid the crowds, excitement and publicity at- tendant to a midnight sailing.
 Jacobs said Maxie made up his mind about 930 last night, and that he had to telephone Schmeling's physician, Dr. Robert Emery Bren- nan, for permission D remove him from the hospital. Dr. Brennan would not consent until he had giv- en an assistant directions for strap ping and taping the boxers back to prevent any injury. He was taken by stretcher to a private ambulance waiting at the back door of the hos pital
 The ambulance drove to the pier and Schmeling was carried on stretcher to the elevator to the ships side and up the gang plank to his stateroom. He said that he felt no pain while being moved, and that tn, only time he felt the effects of his injury was when he tried to turn in bed.
 Through Jacobs, Schmeling re- peated his desire to fight Louis again. He said he did not even con- slider the 20th Century clubs offer for him to fight Tommy Farr in September, because he wanted to give his back at least five or six months to heal completely before he attempted to return to the ring.

DICKEYS BAT IS REAL BIG HELP
 IN TANK DRIVE
Champs Close in on Cleve= land - Foxx Has g
 HOmers-Phils Win
By GEORGE KIRKSEY (Unted Press Stan Correspondent ]


 New York, July 2.-(UP)-Bill Dickeys big bat is singing, the Yan- kees are on the move and the league-leading Cleveland Indians had better beware.
 Dickey's bat is singing a mourn full dirge to opposing pitchers-a song of despair and destruction. There is no more deadly bat in all the American league than Dickeys when it's hot. Yesterday was one of his days. He belted two home runs-Nos. 13 and 14-and in two innings drove in seven runs as the Tanks crushed Washington, 80.
 It was the Tanks sixth straight victory and enabled them to gain half game on the idle Indians, re- ducing Cleveland's lead to 1-2 games.
 When Dickey on the Tanks re- cent western trip slumped below 300 the world champions did a nose dive. Dickeys comeback is a big factor in the new drive of the Tanks to wrest the lead from the Indians.
 Dickey hit his first homer with two men on and then came back in the succeeding inning to clout an- other with the bases loaded. Spud Chandler let the Senators down with six hits for his seventh win. He was the sixth Yankee pitcher in row to go the distance.
 In the other American league game the Boston Red Sox walloped the Philadelphia Athletics, 12-7, as Lefty Grove scored his 18th victory Jimmy Foxx hit homer Mo- g with two mates on to take the American league lead. The As made seven errors.
 Bob Seeds, the Giants recent $25, ,000 acquisition from the Tanks Newark farm club, led the Terrymen to 3-1 victory over Brooklyn by hitting homer with two mates on It was the Giants seventh straight victory in as many games over the Dodgers. Harry Gumbert won his seventh game as he held the Dodg- CTS to eight hits.
 The Chicago Cubs came out of their slump by slugging out an 11-4 victory over the Cincinnati Reds. Clay Bryant won his sixth game, holding the Reds to six hits. The Reds fell apart in the field, making five errors-Billy Myers made three of them. Stan Hack led the Cubs 15-hit attack, which pummeled four Red pitchers.
 The Phillies pulled surprise by scoring a double victory over the Boston Bees, Al and 50. A walk with the bases loaded and Hershel Martins single in the ninth won the first game. Claude Passeau allowed only five hits in the first game and Wayne Lamaster permitted the same number in the nightcap. In addition Lamaster helped win his own game by driving in three runs.

OLYMPIC STARS MAY DEVELOP AT BUFFALO MEET
Over 300 Expected to Test Ability in A. A. U.
 Events Today
BY RONALD G. VAN TINE United Press Staff Correspondent ]

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Buffalo, N. Y, July 2.-CUP).-A rain-soaked cinder track will be punctured today by the spikes of athletes seeking glory in the 5oth national A. A. U. track and field championships.
 Unless the rain continues, approx imately 300 sprinters, middle-dis- tance artists, hurdle experts and field specialists will participate in q events this afternoon to open the two-day program.
 Today's program is known as the Junior meet" but track railbirds looked upon it as a springboard for a fresh crop of 1940 Olympic stars.
 One senior event, however, was on the card in combination with the 10,000-meter junior run. Entrants in both classifications will run in the same field but will be scored sep arately.
 Defending his senior title will be Eino Pennti of the Millrose A. A. Lou Gregory, Permits teammate and former 20-kilometer champion, also was entered.
 Twenty-eight colleges and 34 ath- letic clubs announced entries for to- days tests. Included were Fred Wolcott, topped speedster from Rice Institute, who ran away with both the high and low hurdles in the National Collegiate Athletic meet, and who has his spikes pointed toward the A. A. U. junior 100-meter title.
 Wolcott has stepped 100 yards in 9:0.5, one-tenth of a second slower than the record set by Jesse Owens and Frank Wykoff.
 In the 1,500-metcr event, Marston San Mateo, Cal, who has been clocked in 4:19.6. was favored in a field which included Dick Frey of Michigan State and a score of others.
 The junior high jump title appear ed reserved for pair of schoolboys. They are Gil Lacava, son of the movie director, who has cleared six feet, seven inches for the national record, and J. c. De- wall of Louisiana, who has leaped within an eighth of an inch of La cava's best.
 Eighteen-year-old Baylor May nard of Los Angeles was reported to have topped IA feet in warming up for the pole vault, and was fla vorite in that event.
 A. A. U. officials believed that the rain merely wet the cinders down and did not damage the track. How ever, the outlook for record break ing performances was not promising. It appeared that the track would be slow today, but that 1t might be in almost top condition for the start of the senior championships tomor- row.
 Then the spotlight will be on Glenn Cunningham, the Kansas flash, who will defend his A. A. U. 1 ,500-meter run record of 3:51.8 chalked up at Milwaukee last year.

American Turkey
Has Foreiqn Name

You'll eat your turkey and like it
this Christmas, but do you know
where this festive bird got it's name?
The turkey is the only species of
poultry native to this country. Its
name is attributed by some to it's
call notes, 'turk-turk-turk" others
believe that its head ornaments, re-
sembling the fez worn by natives of
Turkey, gave rise to it's name.
Another explanation is seen in the
fact that the first turkeys from
America were sold in Spain, largely
by Hebrew merchants. Since the
bird was frequently confused with
the peacock, it is said that the He
brew traders called it 'tukki," their
name for the peacock. With the
widespread use of this name in
English, it easily became the pres
