Archibald Is Sought
As Foe for Silva,
Victor Over Reid
Joey's Infiehtine Skill
Shows He Might Give
Feother King Bottle

Tony Galento's chances Of lifting
Joe Louis heavyweight crown were
OF secondary importance to District
fight fans today as they shouldered
the ponderous problem of wondering
how Mexican Joey Silva would fare
against Joey Archibald in feather
weight championship fight.
Silva, an enthusiastic individual
with nervous fists and jay-walking
eyes, staked a convincing claim to
a shot at Archibald's 126-pound title
by whipping AL Reid in a 1o-round
bout last night at the Arena. The
winner had been promised a shot
at Archibald, and Silva plainly
proved his right to that honor, get
ting unanimous decision.
Heinie Miller, secretary of the Dis
trict Boxing Commission, this morn
ing announced he had wired AL
WE'LL, Archibald's manager, in be-
half Of Promoter Joe Turner, ask
ing him to state his terms for the
titleholder.
Silva Good Match for Joey.
Il see by the papers where WE'LL
said he could get a $1,000 guaran-
tee for his fighter against Scalzo in
Brooklyn. Turner can give him that
much for fighting here. I'd like to
see him take on an outstanding con-
tender early this summer and then
meet another in September here at
Griffith Stadium"
But. as Miller pointed out, there
is little gratitude in the fight busi-
ness, and although Archibald's climb
to the pinnacle of his division can
be traced to his fights here under
Turner-Ahearn auspices. there is
scant possibility that he'll defend
the title here unless WE'LL can Sc
cure a fat guarantee, 80 per cent of
the gross receipts, and free bag
of peanuts.
Silva would be an excellent warm
up opponent for Archibald, judging
by his two appearances here He
might make it too warm for the
Providence Kid. for Archibald is
allergic to infighting, and that is
where Silva shines. He beat Reids
ribs and kidneys like bass drum
last night, leaving on the New York
er's back angry red welts similar
to those left by bull whip. He also
opened an old cut over Reid's left
eye and in return had war wound
over his left eye ripped asunder.
Heavies to Fight Here.
In the preliminaries, Billy Banks
knocked out Henry Blackwell in l
minute and seconds of the fourth
round of a scheduled six-round
semi final. Wild Man Marino out
pointed Nick Manfreda in four; Sam
Bacala won the nod over Sid Silas
and Jack Hatcher outpunched Pee
Wee Frankman in additional fours.
Matchmaker Goldie Ahearn will
try new tack next week in an effort
to keep interest on the upgrade with
a triple header program, including
a heavyweight engagement between
Frank Zamaris and Red Lewis. Ell
Brookman is scheduled to meet
Frankie Wills and Eddie Alzac has
been paired with Chico Romo. All
will be eight-rounders.

ould Use Johnstown Coin
For Scouting Purposes

The treasurer reported balance
OF 5000 in the clubs treasury, but
expressed the hope that Johnstown,
which won more than $500 last
Saturday, would contribute a piece
OF the purse toward scouting fund,
to send our agents down to Havre
De Grace. Naturally, the club can
not administer the affairs of this
sterling animal with the proper
thoroughness unless he loosens up
and permits us to scout his foes.
This Challedon horse really is
menace. Big, strong and solid, the
dark bay was born and bred in
Maryland, like War Admiral, winner
of the 1887 Kentucky Derby. Last
year he won three futurities in the

Lou Schaefer, insists that the horse
Is a slayer.
Our steed doubtless will take Chal-
ledon's measure at Louisville, but,
meanwhile, we are worried. The
Committee on Worrying reported
that 1t would devote the rest of

day would begin to worry about
Xalapa Clown.

Johnstown Fans Find
Derby Chance Bright
BY JOHN LARDNER,
Special Correspondent Of The Star.

Special Correspondent Of The Star.
NEW YORK, April 20.-The
Johnstown Marching and Chowder
Club, scourge of the bookmaking in
dustry. held its weekly meeting yes
terday and composed its weekly let
ter of instructions to Trainer Sunny
Jim Fitzsimmons.
Your correspondent is secretary
and treasurer of this organization,
the purpose of which is to win the
Kentucky Derby with Johnstown and
drive the future bookmakers out of
business. Between the club and
Sunny Jim Fitzsimmons, we will have
the horse in excellent shape by
Derby Day. Fitz is doing pretty fair
work, and the clubs advice is so
good that the trainer lights his cigar
with our weekly letter every Thurs
day morning, faithfully. He will &C
cept no substitute.
Your correspondent made the
treasurer's report, notifying the
membership that he have knocked
Johnstown's Derby price from IL to
to S to by our sensational victory
in the Paumonok Handicap at ia
maica last Saturday, when we beat
such high class sprinters as The
Chief, Early Delivery and Paglaicci.
Committee on Jockey Toctics
Gives Hint to Stout
We got the Jump at the gate and
led all the way. Coming into the
stretch, with the horse we'll in hand,
we opened up a lead of six lengths,
looked back over our shoulders, saw
we had the field whipped, and fin
tshed under restraint.
The Committee of Jockey Strategy
composed entirely of Monday morn
Ing quarterbacks, with a world of
football experience), voted conf
dence in Jockey Stout, with the res
ervation that he ought to save just
little more ground on the turn.
This memorandum was mailed to
Mr.. Stout, who no doubt will be
thrilled to get it.
The Committee on Beating Ell
Chico reported progress. This colt,
the winter book favorite for the
Derby up till last Saturday, was
licked by nose by Gilded Knight,
at 6 furlongs. Johnstown now has
replaced him as the favorite. and
three bookmakers have leaped into
the river, leaving large families, linn
tied insurance. and certain trinkets
OF a purely sentimental value.
The Committee on Planning voted
to keep the horse in the barn this
week and run him a week from
Saturday in the Wood Memorial,
when the work of beating Ell Chico
will be completed. These instruc-
tions will.be transmitted to Trainer
Fitzsimmons. who technically is in
charge of Johnstown.
The Committee on Competition
reported that it will keep its eye
on the Chesapeake Handicap at
Havre De Grace this coming Sat-
urday, when Challedon, our chief
rival, makes his first start as a
year-old. The committee will not

APTITUDE TESTS
 HELD PRACTICAL

Members of the Industrial Fore mems club heard an interesting talk last evening by Robert R. Tufts and Harold Wilks of the human engi- neering laboratory of Stevens Insti- tute of Technology. The meeting was held at the Y. M. c. A. and was presided over by Wesley Leaven- worth, president.
 Reporting on the success of the aptitude tests the speakers stated that while the laboratory could not definitely point out vacations which youths should follow, that the advice given by the laboratory could prove to be of great value. The tests are being given to young men and women in Waterbury, Danbury, New Haven and Naugatuck.

DOCTOR DISCUSSES HABIT OF EATING
Three Meals a Day Normal
 Appetite for Healthy [, Person

It is not unhealthy to eat more than three meals day, and in many countries other than Amer ica, people eat oftener, Dr. Howard w. Haggard, Yale university,s asso- ciate professor of applied physiology said at the monthly forum of the Waterbury Medical association last night.
 Employment in factories and business offices many hours day is the cause for the practice of eating three times day, the speak CT said. Because of that condition, he said, it has become a fad that a healthful person eats three meals 8 day.
 pr. J. Harold Root introduced Dr. Haggard, who discarded the follow ing fallacies and superstitions: Fish is Q brain food; water is bad for digestion: hard arteries are caused by eating salt: wet feet cause colds and eating Holsters with ice cream is bad.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

w. C. c.: "Will you write some
thing in your daily column on St.
Vitus, it's causes and effects?"
Answer - St. Vitus dance, or
chorea, is in all probability an
infectious disease, which affects
mostly young people at the adoles-
cent age. It's effects are to cause
sudden and unnatural movements
of the muscles so that the patient
twitches and grimaces. Hence ita
name, St. Vitus dance. It is related
to rheumatism and may leave ef-
fects on the heart, similar to acute
inf1ammatory rheumatism. Its treat
ment is by sedatives and treatments
which are effective against rheuma-
tism.
Henderson daily dispatch., 1939-08-14

it doesn't. It acts just the opposite.
One attack does not confer lmmu-
nifty, but actually greater sensitivity
to the offending pollen.
Pollen extracts then should not,
theoretically, do good in hay fever.
Practically, they sometimes work.
Forms of Pollen Treatment
Three forms of pollen extract
treatment are given.
First: Preseasonal treatment.
The extracts are given at weekly or
semi-weekly intervals, beginning
two or three months before the hay
fever season. The extracts first
given are very weak, and are grad
ually increased in strength until
Just before the opening of the sea-
son q maximum dose is given.
Second: Coseasonal treatment. 1t
used to be considered unsound to
give the extracts during the season
when symptoms had actually begun.
But experience has shown that this
is more successful than had been
anticipated and it is quite possible
to get relief by injections given
after the season has begun.
Third: Perennial pollen treat
n,ent. In patients who get no relief
from carefully regulated preseason
al treatment along with coseasonal
treatment, it is recommended that
treatment with extracts be carried
on throughout the year. This is the
method of choice for most Of those
who specialize in this work.
Views Differ as to Value
How much good does pollen thera-
py do? This is by no means an easy
question to answer. The specialist
who does the work takes an optimis-
tic view of the situation; the patient
is not always so happy about it.
Different parts of the country re-
port different results. California al
lergists have fine results; but then,
the hay fever in California is toy
hay fever. If the California special
lists would like really to try the met
tie of their skill they should go up
against the old bull hay fever of the
middle western states. Nor is the
Atlantic Coast hay fever very
vicious. So reports vary according
