DANBURY AUTO
 RACES TONIGHT

Danbury, Conn, Aug. 23-A racing program of 125 laps, the feature of which will be the $1,O00 Hat City Sweepstakes of 50 laps in which the best drivers East of the Mississippi in the midget auto racing game will compete, is expected to lure more than 1000 doodlebug fans to the Danbury Speedways in the Danbury Fair Grounds tonight.
 There will be over 25 daredevils risk life and limb on the banked turns of the $2o,000 fifth of mile dustless asphal track in front of the $100,000 grandstand and Cappy Lane, race director, feels sure that a new track mark will be established.
 Ted Tappett, the lates racing sensation; Broncho Bill Schindler, Ernie Gesell and Harry Felton have the most followers but since Tap pett is the only speed demon who has been able to win twice here railbirds say any outsiders can win if the machine gets sizzling hot.
 President George McLachlan of the Chamber of Commerce, who is turning out thousands of hats for Uncle Sam's soldier boys will pre- sent the winner with a handsome silver trophy.

N. Y. Turfwriters
 Vote Don Meade Jockey of The Year
By JACK GUENTHER United Press Racing Editor)

Saratoga Springs, N. r., Aug. 23- (UP)-The little guys white dinner coat was starched and stiff and his face looked much the same. It was a pinched face and pale and it was twisted into the brave sort of smile that men wear only when they are scared half to death.
 The little guy walked with a jerky step. His knees shook and he gazed furtively about as he scur- ried to the platform. Somewhere in the background cymbal crashed and suddenly the orchestra was still. Then out of nowhere boomed voice.
 And now," 1t said, We come to a man. In the figurative sense he isn't man at all because he weighs just no pounds. dripping wet. But in the literal sense he is not only a man, but whole man. So at this time it gives the New York Turf Writers Association great pleasure to award this plaque to Americas jockey of the year."
 There wasn't a sound as the little guy stepped to the microphone, his head barely reaching half way up. The smile was gone from his face now and the hardness melted away. Even from his eyes, those hard blue gifts of the devil himself Softened and were awash with tears.
 What he thought as he stood there, facing the skeptical gazes of 400 people, no one ever will know. He may have thought of the early days in Plankingdon, s. D.. and the dirt tracks and $10 pay on Satur- lay night. He may have thought Of booting home Brokers Tip in the Kentucky Derby and the success that brought easy money and high, wide and handsome living.
 Barred For Lift
 Or he may have thought of later years, when one day he was summoned to a high-walled room and told he was barred from the tracks forever because he had bet on horses other than his own. Or, maybe. he thought of the year of 1889. That was the year he started fighting back from the shadows of disgrace, the odds 1,000-1 against him.
 But no matter what he thought, he took the microphone in hand. He started once to speak, and couldn't. He tried again and his | voice broke. Finally he managed to | say:
 Thank you, friends. This is the | happiest moment of my life. I didn't | win this plaque. Thousands of people | did it for me. But still it is the | happieSt moment of my life"
 For one minute the banquet han | was still. Then the clapping start ,d. It grew louder and louder until It last it echoed back in amplified | The little guy looked lround the room, at the writers, the owners. the trainers. his rival jock 'ys, all of them were cheering.
 He started back to his table where lis wife was waiting. No longer was lis step halting nor his face weary ind tired. He walked briskly and his time his smile wasn't forced. 7e turned once. on his way, and lowed again and again. Still the 400 ;lapped and cheered and whistled heir praise for the best jockey in III the land.
 That was how Don Meade came 'ack.

 Mickey Williams of New Haven started slowly but found the range in the third round to win as he biased from Ernie Costa of New York though Costa gave his oppon- ent plenty of trouble in the first two rounds.

Saratoga Springs, N. Y, Aug. B. -(UP)-The big fellow in the sport coat called to me clear across the paddock.
 Want something good? Some thing real good, mean"
 I didn't waste any time getting to him, because the big fellow was Tim Mara, for years one of the top bookmakers, and when he gives you a good thing" it usually comes down in front or is close enough to have its picture taken at the fin- iSh.
 "Lemme have it, pal" said. The things I've bet on so far couldn't beat Sophie Tucker in 8 Class c Handicap, and it's long walk back to New York
 Tt isn't a horse want to tell you about Mara said. Its about my Giants. You know, the New York Giants of the pro league"
 I'll save the Giants for October, :" I said. Tell me about something that can find hole near the rail, not of tackle; something that in- wolves horsehide, not pigskin."
 "Waitll you hear about the Giants" Mara answered.
 "Wait1l you hear what they are doing right now. Lissen, they're drilling. Drilling to be soldiers. And they're going to keep on drilling until they know enough to qualify as real soldiers"
 Parade Rest
 Then Mara explained his con- tribution to national defense. From now on, his football players will spend part of each day training to be soldiers. They started yester- day, fifty of them, under the di- rection of Captain Bill Wood, coach of the West Point football team. Mara has equipped them with rifles

STANCEU THROWS A SLIDER; WASHBURN TAMES WILDNESS

From Newark will come George Washburn, George Barley, Norman Branch, Hank Borowy and Steve Peek, St. Lawrence graduate from Utica who won 32 games for Bing- hamton the last two campaigns and who is on an eight-game winning streak.
 Stanceu and his slider have &C., counted for 12 games for Kansas City. Lindell for "A, Hendrickson for 13 and Wensloff for 10. Refs, who won IT while losing 4 for the Blues last year, developed arm trou- ble with the Yankees.
 Barley, a product of Duke, has copped Is games for Newark.
 Washburn, no longer wild, has grabbed IA. Branch, who learned to pitch at the University of Texas, has everything, including a remark able screwball. Borowy, 22-year- old six-footer only IA months out of Fordham, has turned in three shut outs in winning II games.
 Such material should quickly put the New York club back on its feet.
 The Tanks will be coming again.

ED KEARSE TO GET WHIRL BEHIND BAT

In the outfield, the Yankees must consider Tommy Holmes and Bud Metheny of Newark and the we'll seasoned Stanley Bordagaray, who is second only to Rizzuto among American Association hitters.
 Holmes is an accomplished fly chaser very fast. He leads the International League in total hits and the fact that he also shows the way in starting double plays from the outf1eld is something in the way of. evidence that he can throw. He has driven in something like 60 runs as leadof man. has scored more than 100.
 Metheny, a 1eft-hand hitter and thrower, hits the ball a long way has driven in 75 runs.
 The Yankees intend to bring in Ed Kearse, young catcher who is helping Seattle run away with the Pacific Coast League pennant and who is batting .313.
 Pitchers-big ones-will fairly fall over themselves at St. Petersburg next spring.
 Ernie Bonham checked in from Kansas City some days ago.
 Charley Stanceu, Johnny Lindell, Tommy Refs, Don Hendrickson and Charley Wensloff, righthanders, and Al Gearhauser, left-hander, are other Blue pitchers who will be close ly inspected by Mccarthy when an- other trainin gseason rolls around.

Multiplicity of Talent on Farms Simplifies Rebuilding Program of Decadent Yankees
Promising Pitchers
 Are to Report With
 Rizzuto and Priddy
BY HARRY CRIMSON NEA Service Sports Editor

New York, Aug. 23-Don't waste sympathy on James A. Farley & O., or whoever buys the Yankees this fall, and faces the, task of re- building the club.
 There is plenty of talent down on the farms.
 Kansas City could furnish an en- tire inf1eld-Johnny Sturm, Gerald Priddy, Phil Rizzuto and Billy Hitchcock. -
 New York scouts rate Rizzuto and Priddy an even slicker duo than Lou Boudreau and Ray Mack of Cleveland. With upward of 130, the Rizzuto-P -Priddy- -Sturm combination threatens the American Association record for double plays.
 The diminutive Rizzuto leads the loop in batting with .377 and in to- tai hits and stolen bases.
 Yankee officials say there is not a finer major league first passing candidate than Sturm, and Hitch- cock is a brilliant prospect at third.
 Mike Chartak, a 190-pounder who bats and throws left-handed, may have something to say about the New York first basing job. He is the power hitter the Yankees like. He started at first base for Newark this season, but switched to the outfield when Joe Mccarthy paged Buster Mills.
 Newark has a remarkable third baseman in Buddy Blair, but he has been hampered by a twisted knee.

WHO SHOULD GET WINGS? SCIENCE WANTS TO KNOW

DENVER-Medical science still seeks an answer to the question of what made good airplane pilot tick?"
 "Is a tall husky man a better pilot than a short, slender man?" asked pr. Michael L. Mason of the Northwestern University Med ical School at a Denver medical meeting.
 "Is one type of man better qual flied to fly at an altitude of 25,0OO feet than another man?
 Il suppose some of the answers will be obtained through the trial and error method.'
 He said the answers would sim plify the problem of the Army Air Corps, which examines ap- plicants for army flying jobs.
 Occasionally, a man will pass the most rigid physical examina- tion, do brilliant work in the ground school and then funk the course when he takes to the air simply because he can't stand flying.

complaint under oath must be filed, showing the delinquency. Such warrant may be issued both against the empower and em- ployee, were both in default, as provided by Section 9.
 To aid the school tax collector in taking advantage of the fore going provisions in enforcing the law the Attorney Generals office has prepared three forms of com plaints, with three accompanying forms of warrants, each number ed l, ? and 3 respectively.
 Form No. 1
 To prosecute an individual for failure to pay the. school tax, com plaint form No. l should be used. When this complaint is signed, sworn to and filed, the warrant form No. 1 is used by the Com missioner. At the trial of such a ease testimony should be intro duced to prove the facts alleged in the complaint. It is sufficient to show that the defendant is ap- parently of the age alleged. In the absence of testimony on the subject, it will be presumed that the defendant is not of a class exempt from the tax, if it is shown that he is of the taxable age. However, it is safer to show at the trial that he did not claim exemption on the ground that he belongs to the exempt class, and if he did that the claim is un- founded. It should be shown that he has been in Alaska for at least thirty days between the first Mon day of April and the first Monday of August, and that either writ ten or oral demand upon him for the tax has been made at least ten days before the complaint was filed and that his tax had not been paid.
 Form No. 2
 Where an employer fails to fur nish the collector a list of the employees liable for the tax, form No. ? may be used. This form is applicable where the em- plOyer is a corporation. A slight change in this form will make it applicable to an employer who is an individual or partnership. This change may be made by striking out the words "a cOrpor- atiOn" wherever they occur, and changing the pronoun "it" to "he" or they, as the case may require. In event the defendant is an individual, a warrant for the arrest of defendant is issued in the ordinary form. The sum- mons for a corporation must be served upon the president or other head of the corporation, secretary, cashier or managing agent"
 Form No. 3
 When distraint warrant is de sired under the terms of Sec tion 9 Form 3 is used. This form is designed to apply to both em- ployer and employee, but may be changed so as to apply to either When this complaint is filed the Commission should issue the dis traint warrant form No. 3. If the complaint be only against an in- dividual, the warrant should be altered to correspond with the complaint. Under this warrant it is the duty of tho vonarShaJ fO
