told Joe very pointedly that he
would take SIS, 900 or stay out Of
baseball.
All this time the San Francisco
fisherman had been listening to the
advice of friends. They assured him
he was worth $4,000 to the Yanks.
Hadn't he had a great season the
year before? Wasn't his name a
great drawing card?
Joe proceeded to advise the colo
mel on several points, which advice
was reviewed at length in sports
pages throughout the nation. Some
of his utterances were no doubt ex-
aggerated, and perhaps some were
garbled deliberately for the sake of
a good story.
Then when he did finally sign the
prOffered contract he was thorough
ly boOed every time he ventured on
the playing field. 1t was a long,
uphill struggle to get back into the
good graces Of baseball fans. In
fact, it wasn't until late in the sea-
SON that the baseball-loving public
began to regard him as anything
but menace. The change came
when he began to threaten FOxx for
batting championship honors.
This year the Pacific coast idol
signed in hurry. He was one of
the first to report, and one of the
hardest workers on the practice
field. His entire attitude is changed
and for the better. Undoubtedly
fans vociferous disapproval and a
few months reflection had much to
do with this change in attitude. He
realizes, too, that the well-meant ad-
vice of his friends was wrong.
Fans will be quick to forget last
years unpleasant incident. And this
is as it should be. Joe would much
sooner play baseball than clip cou-
pons. His heart is in the game, and
he realizes that even the best ball
players wage never-ending war to
Stay on the top.

Speed King

Johnny BORICAN, 25-year-old
~ art student at Columbia univer-
sity, is one of the most amazing
track discoveries of the past dec
ade. The young Negro has chalked
up three official and one unofficial
world marks during this indoor
season.
In recent 1,000-yard race Johnny
established a new record. But that
record will never get in the books,
for the starter, Johnny MeHugh,
claimed false start had been made
by Borican. BOrican not only COW
cred the distance in record time,
but defeated Glenn Cunningham,
who also was clicked faster than
the existing mark.
His rise to international running
fame came under the tutelage of
A. w. Wisner, head of an Elberon,
N. j., athletic club. Until this
season Borican concentrated on the
pentathlon, and didn't fare too well.
Under Wisner's influence Borican
centered his interest on the 600
yard and the 1,O00-yard events.
The new cinder sensation has even
tried the mile. Cunningham beat
him over the mile route, but Borican
has twice beaten Glenn at 1000
yards. As yet Borican lacks the
endurance to match his remarkable
straight-away speed

New Major Sport
ID OWIJNG &C a noaior hi,

p OWLING as a major high school
- sport was given healthy boost
recently when Chicago schools voted
to award major sports letters to
youths participating in active COM
petition.
To bowling enthusiasts this was an
important step, though by no means
did Chicago establish a precedent.
There are already high school
leagues from Brooklyn to Beverly
Hills, Calf, and from Minneapolis
to Houston, Texas. Its Importance
is due to the fact that 10000 Chicago
prep school boys and girls are now
competing in league play.
As much or more than any other
sport, bowling is the ideal "carry-
over" recreation. A student can con-
tinue to bowl for exercise, fun and
good fellowship for the rest of his
or her life. The majority of sports
are either too strenuous or require
facilities hard to obtain. Bowling
does not require tremendous output
of energy and alleys are located
throughout the nation.
One of the games most admirable
features is that it allows for maxi
mum participation. 1t calls for no
unusual physical attributes and a
scientific system of handicapping
makes all prep bowlers equal.
Milton Raymer, executive secre-
tary of the Chicago High School
Bowling clubs, is also editor of the
High School Bowlers Journal. In
speaking of the game, he stated:
Bowling certainly offers a COM
mon recreation ground for students,
their parents and teachers. We now
have parents night, fathers and
sons nights, and mothers and
daughters night. The play on these
nights is under handicap system,
the parents being handicapped ac-
cOrding to their league play aver
age, or vice versa if the SON or
daughter is the better bowler"
Because it is logical sport for
popular participation, interest in
high school bowling leagues will
grow rapidly. Already there is talk
of a national prep tournament.

Y anks Happy
AS Di Maggie
Settles Down
By ROBERT McSHANE

The Joe Di Maggie who went into
= training with the New York
Yankees this spring isn't quite the
same lad who was so completely
and enthusiastically booed from one
end of the American league circuit
to the other last season.
For one thing, Joe is working
harder than ever this spring. A
great natural athlete and an out
standing performer, he is just be-
ginning to realize the gravity of his
last years mistake.
A review of the unusual situation
highlights JOe's errors of finance and
diplomacy. In 1888, at which time
he had been in the league for only
two years, the late Col. Jacob Rup-
pert of the Yankees boosted Di Mag
gio's salary to S25, 900. Joe demand
ed $4,000 more, and refused to re-
port to training camp until salts
factory contract Ito him) had been
signed, sealed and delivered.
That didn't make the colonel hap
py. He felt that he had met Di
Maggie more than half way, and if
the youngster couldn't see it that
way it was his tough luck. Rupert

Derby Winners

r ONWARD r. BRADLEY, whose
- horses have accounted for four
Kentucky Derby victories since 1921,
has nominated only one horse-Ben-
efactor-in his attempt to win his
fifth Churchill Downs event.
Six other owners, who have seen
their horses win the Kentucky Derby
in other years, will try to duplicate
the performance when the race is
he'd May 6.
Bradley's previous victories were
scored in 1921 by Behave Yourself,
in 1926 by Bubbling Over, in 1892
by Burgoo King, and in 1888 by
Brokers Tip.
Mrs. Payne Whitney's Twenty
Grand won the 1881 Derby. This
year she has nominated Equilibri-
UNI, Hash, One By One, Toll and
Toss and Third Degree.
Gala Hour and Book Plate will
represent the Mrs. John Hertz sta
bles this year, and observers are
not too optimistic for them. They
will attempt to follow in the foot
steps of Reign Count, who won the
1928 Derby and proceeded from
there to have things his own way
during that season. Neither Gala
Hour nor Book Plate were impress
sive as twO-year-Olds.
War Admiral, famous horse owned
by Samuel Riddle, carried off top
honors in the Derby of 1897. This
year Riddle has nominated Get Of,
a colt whose successes last year
were few.
William Woodward has seen two
of his horses gallOp home vietori-
Gus. Gallant Fox in 1880 and Omaha
in 1885. This year his candidates
are Johnstown, Foxlane, Challenge,
Flarion, ThellussOn and JOharie.
Johnstown is thought to be the most
serious threat.
Raj Parr, whose Paul Jones won
the 1920 event, will be represented
by Ebonita, son of Flying Ebony,
1925 winner.
Winner of the recent FIamingo
stakes at Hialeah Park, Technician
will represent Herbert M. Woolf's
stable. Lawrin, Technician's sta
blemate, won the Flamingo stakes
last year and from there went up
to win the Derby victory. Both
horses are sons of Insco.

And you know, I just mentioned
dogs and cats. That's all it needs to
set me going. But, recently it was
made public that after August Is, the
CANNES and felines, not Boosting OF
any positive attachment to a human
household, and, consequently, not
dangling the little talisman from his
neck-if it's dog-would be rounded
up and deported to the Humane So
ciety's farm in the upper end Of the
county.
I'll be dog gone if I didn't see two
such CANNES lying yesterday on the
grass in front of the Municipal Build
ing, and their attitude seemed mute
inquiry as to whether the Society's
bus left from that point and at what
hour. They appeared to be ready and
willing to be deported. They were Of
fering their frail bodies a willing sac
rifice to the catcher's net, and promis-
ing not to bark and not to bite their
nearest neighbor on the journey to
that bourn from which they either
never would return or from which
they might enter the hapy homes Of a
real dog fancier or lover, and where
they didn't have to upset a garbage
can in search of food, nor find refuge
from the rain on the mat in your
front porch.
I looked around for the dog-catcher,
but he may have been off trying to
get up load from another part of
the city but it's dollars to doughnuts
he was having his own sweet time
doing it. I haven't heard yet from the
proprietress Of the Farm as to wheth-
er she has had any patronage from
Pocomoke or not. Anyhow, there're
plenty around from which to draw
custom, and I hope she'll soon get it.

ZERO RECORD
FOR SMALL POX
IN THE STATE
Health Department Points With
Pride To The Last Ten
Years. Absence

Among the blanks TO WHICH JIG
State Department of Health points
with considerable pride are the zeroes
in the record for smallpox in the
State for the past ten years.
DR.. r. H. Riley Director Of the De-
partment, calls attention to the record
in a message to parents whose child
rem will start to school this fall.
"Don't forget, he said, that our
Maryland law requires every child to
be vaccinated before he or she may
be enrolled in any public school in
the State. If you have neglected this
for your small son or daughter, don't
put it off any longer. Go to your doc
tor and have it done at once.
"In accordance with the State law,
physicians are expected to vaccinate
all babies under their care before the
children are a year old. Until the
children are of school age, the re-
sponsibility for having it done rests
with the parents. After that it is
shared by the teachers and other
school authorities. Any teacher, school
trustee or commissioner Of public
school who admits a child who has not
been successfully vaccinated against
smallpox is liable to a fine Of $40.
"There have been only two cases
of smallpox officially reported in
Maryland in the last ten years-one
in 1881 which was contracted in Cali
fornia; and the other in 1885, the
diagnosis of which was doubted by
those familiar with the disease. With
these two exceptions, the slate is clean
for smallpox in Maryland for 1880,
1892, '33, '34, '36, '37, '3s, and up to
the present in 1889.
"The situation is very different in
other parts Of the country, particular
" those in which vaccination against
smallpox is not required by law. The
reports of the United States Public
Health Service show that nearly 49,
600 people in the United States had
smallpox in 1888. In the last ten
years there have been over 10000
cases. For the past five years there
has been steady increase.
"While it is true that the majority
of the cases have occurred in the
West, North West, Central, South
in other sections Of the country is no
safeguard against the disease. The
travel habit is SO general that con-
trary to Kipling, East and West meet
every day. The disease is highly in
fectious and the only protection a.
gainst it is vaccination.
"Our Maryland law was enacted in
1864. It is based primarily on preven-
ton through vaccination in infancy,
and our practical freedom from the
disease has been due largely to the in
telligent cooperation of parents with
the health authorities in the observ-
ance of the vaccination requirements.
But there are always some who are in
clined to put it off until some conven-
lent time. Their children are the
ones, who have mot vaccinated against
smallpox checked up against them at
the summer roundup and the other
child health conferences.
eff your youngsters are in this class.
Don't wait any longer to have them
vaccinated."
