ONE OF the latest health meas
ures Of treatment to be called to
my attention is the pine bath. While
Americans can certainly be said to
appreciate the daily bath and en-
Joy its benefits, they do not indulge
IN medicinal baths as much as do
Europeans and other foreign peo-
Pies. 1t is not easy to obtain in

can be obtained at a drug store,
which, thinned and dropped in the
bath water, will do the same thing.
Of course, care should be taken not
to make the mixture too strong as 1t
requires very little to obtain de-
sirable effects.
State of Fatigue
Perhaps the most striking effect
Of the pine bath is in a general state
of fatigue. 1t is slightly rubefacient,
that is to say, it causes redness
and increased circulation Of the
skin, and this, in conjunction with
the odor and the clearing of the ma
sal passages and the nose, produces
a wonderfully relaxing and stimu-
lating effect. Little rheumatic pains
or stiffness of the joints are also
favorably affected by this rubefa-
cient quality.
To anyone who is engaged in
a nervous and continually high
strung occupation, the use of pine
bath after returning home in the
afternoon is an experience which
can hardly be adequately described.
The full value of a bath as pick
up is not felt unless one takes it
slowly and luxuriously. At least 20
minutes should be given to it, with
thorough rubbing Of the skin after
wards SO that you feel as if your
skin were tingling with vitality.

the result depended on the timing.
At some tables, diamond was led
because West did not like to under
lead his heart K. East caShed his
two diamonds and returned the suit,
declarer winning and then running
ten more tricks to make 5-No
trump, which was top for North
South on the deal. At other tables,
where a. heart was led or where East
switched to a heart after winning
the diamond lead, East-West got
a heart trick in addition to two dia-
monds and held North-South to
four-odd, which was bottom for
them.
So, as far as the evidence of this
deal is concerned, the relative merits
of the major suit contract versus no

AMBERS ON EDGE FOR GREATEST IN R|N 6
Lou Will Murder Arm= strong or Be Knocked
 Out Trying Trainer
By JACK CUDDY
United Press Stan Correspondent

United Press Stan Correspondent)
 Carmel, N. Y, Aug. 19-(UP)-Lou Anbers will murder Henry Arm strong next Tuesday night in Yam kee Stadium. or he'll get knocked out trying-if you care to take the word of Lou's trainer, Whitey Bim- stein.
 That's not 8 lot O talk or bally- hooey," Binstein said. T never saw him like this before. He's not kid din when he says he's tough. He's in the best shape of his life, and he'll either murder Armstrong or be knocked out trying"
 Ambers, more on edge than for any of his 92 professional fights, displayed the savage tenseness that characterized the pre-battle Jack Dempsey yesterday as he took 8 lay off from biXing drills. He prowled about his camp like an irritated cat. He was snarlingly abrupt with his handlers and evaded the queries of newspapermen.
 Joe Ghnouly, the veteran light weight from St. Louis who still is a plenty tough customer, is one of Lou's sparmates, and here is what he says about Lou's chances of re- gaining the 135-pound crown Arm strong won August, year ago.
 "Ambers i4 geared to cut Arm strong to ribbons this time. If Arm strong lasts 15 rounds with him you'll see the greatest lightweight fight ever staged. But don't think Armstrong will last"
 Ambers apparently is planning to ride" the toughest rider seen in the ring for many 8 day, judging from the talk of his sparmates, handlers and trainer. They believe that Ambers made big mistake by trying to fight Armstrong at long range during the first half of that memorable Hereunder last year. He pulled away from Hanks looping hooks instead of moving inside them. Hence, he took lot of head punishment and was on the canvas twice.
 But this time, 1t apparently will be different. Ambers is ready to go in there and "bull" with the rings greatest butler.
 Ambers will box today and tomor- row to conclude his training.

City League Season OF 1939 Nears Finish
LOOP LEADERS
 ONE HALF GAME APART JUST NOW
Tonmies and Brooklyns Have 'Breathers' Sunday
 at Hamilton Park

Waterbury's city league baseball leaders, the North End Thomas club and the Brooklyn A. o. who are a half game apart, with a protested game in the balance, have poten- : tial "breathers" tomorrow at Han- ilton Park, though the Tomnies, in meeting the scrappy Overlooks may get much more than they bargain for" Twice this season the Looks, as they are called for short, pro- vided stunning upsets because of good pitching and a group of ,Wilby players that have that "old college try" and are continually trying to win, come what may.
 To Play Safe?
 However, it's a cinch that the Thomas club will play very safe baseball tomorrow, unless they can hit the Overlook pitching early and often. The Brooklyn A.. c. has a mild workout charded in the form of Scheduled game with Chick Sullivan's Tribune A. o. which has been able to snare but 2 of II games played this season. If the Tribes ever top the B. A. c. as the teams stand now, that would be the upset of this or any other season. Only last, year was the Tribes that went to the national tournament at Pitts burgh, but it's much different club now.
 Washington Hills with Manager Push Elm" Paul Doran in an apologetic mood, takes on the Sa- cred Hearts, Umpire Bill Stanton to the contrary and that game is the one that may be the best to look at, of the three scheduled for the Ham, ilton Park diamonds.

Today's Sport
 Parade
By HENRY McLEMORE


 Chestnut Hill, Mass, Aug. 19- (UP)-The alibi is part of the stand ard equipment of tennis player, just as the carburetor is of an au- tomibile and buck teeth of a beaver. It is acquired so quickly that many students believe that tennis players are born with alibis, just as they are born with ears, legs, and the ability to pad expense accounts.
 The alibi is noticeable in a ten- nisp layer long before he develops a forehand or a backhand or a serv- ice. When tennis player is scrace- ly able to knock a ball over the net he is capable of telling all concerned (and many that are not) just WHY so and so or whatchamacallit or whosit beat him in straight sets. Ever since he became a tennis teacher. which was long ago when lady champions wore yards and yards of skirt and did their hair in pompodaur style, Mercer Beasley has been a devoted collector of tennis alibis.
 One by one through the years, he has added to his collection until to- day there isnl't on ein the world that can match it. It is to a tennis alibi collection what the Lauvre is to painting. The chances are that no matter what alibis you have heard players offer they are on file in MT. Beasley's catalog.
 MT. Beasley let me study his col- lection yesterday and it was treat. There, in black and white, preserved for all time, were the alibis of the great, the near-great, the average, and the sub-normal tennis players of all time. Some of them I had heard, some I hadn't heard. I won't try to list them all to you because this is not a continued serial, but I would like to set down the most common. Here they are:
 Ate too much. Did not eat enough. Drank too much water. It was too hot It was too cold. No sleep night before. It was too windy. Broke favorite racket. Strings too loose Strings too tight. Needed new balls Balls too light. Balls too heavy. Ball boys no good. Official was blind Official was prejudiced. Linesmen no good. Sun bad in eyes. Played too early. Played too late. Hadn't enough practice. Kept waiting by opponent. Net was too high. Net was too low. Opponent got all the breaks.
 Not used to ta) grass court. tb) clay court. Gallery was unsporting Got cramp in ta) leg, tb) arm. Ankle shoulder. back hurt. Headache. goi dizzy. Pulled e tendon. Blister or hand, foot. ff'oo keyed up. Needed a hat, visof. Hair kept getting iE eyes. Peorye moevd and talked tos much. Ankoyed by match on nexi

IN FINAL TEST AS
 EQUINE CHAMP
Even Money Choice With Eight-Thirty at Sara-
 tOga Today
By JACK GUENTHER United Press Racing EditOr)

Saratoga Springs, N. r., Aug. 19. l-(UP)-Old Sunny Jim Fitzsim- mons sent the king of three-year- olds, Johnstown into the $20,000 Travers stake today to prove wheth- CT he Is worthy of the crown-or is another quitter like his pa.
 Two months ago Johnstown would have started with odds backed down to 1-10. Today he was even money, and the 10000 persons gathered to watch the roth running of the na- tion's oldest horse race turned to one of four rivals in their search for a winner.
 Those four were George D. Wid- ener's Eight Thirty, the Millsdale Sun Lover, Greentree stables Hash, and Conn Smythe's Sir Marlboro colts who have been climbing fast while Johnstown has been standing still. Though running on the fast track big John likes best, they had breaks of from six to 16 pounds in the weight.
 Johnstown was packing 128 pounds, the most he ever carried. Like his daddy, Jamestown, Big John went into the race under the stigma of quitter. He stopped in the Preakness when he was caught in the stretch and he did 1t again in the Arlington Classic. Here is what he had to beat:
 Eight Thirty, winner of five of his last six starts. He was an even choice with Johnstown at prices that ranged from even money to 7-5, and he had IF pounds, stall To. 4 and Jockey Harry Richards.
 Sun Lover, fve-length victor over Johnstown in the classic, and in the money for 10 straight starts in the toughest competition. Third choice at around Al. He was weighted with 122 pounds at the second post with Johnny Longden up.
 Greentree stables Hash, 6 maybe he-will-maybe-he-won't rascal, who had 115 pounds, Eddie Arcaro, stall three and good chance.
 Conn Smythe's Sir Marlboro, who had 112 pounds, no boy, stall five, and about the same sort of chance they gave Upset to beat Man O. War.
 Fitzsimmons assigned Jimmie Stout to Johnstown, as in all his races this year, and drew the first post position.
 Although its $20,O00 purse is no longer great shucks, the Travers still is one of the casts most honored stakes. It was inaugurated during the Civil War and 1t has been run virtually without interruption ever since. It is the most important event on the Saratoga schedule, and this year will mark Johnstown's only appearance here. Its distance is a mile and a quarter.
