good job of it may be expected during
the next week or two. The Com
munity club recently appointed a
committee to try to arouse public
interest in the matter and the viii
lage officials will cooperate in every
way possible.
A temporary dumping ground has
been selected at the old gravel pit
at the northeast edge of the village,
which has been suitably marked,
where rubbish may be thrown and
later covered. Users of this dump
must be careful to throw the rub
bish down into the pit and not scat
ter it around the edge, as nearby
residents must not be offended by
carelessness in this respect. A new
dumping ground some distance in
the country will be located soon and
opened for general use.

Indianapolis, Ind, May 2o--(UP) They put the finishing touches today on the track, the cars, and the men who'll drive in the worlds toughest ride to nowhere--the 28th Indianapolis 6oo-mile speedway race.
 Brick by brick, workmen secured the red saucer on which 8 drivers roar away tomorrow in quest of Q $20,000 pot of gold. They scraped every inch of It's 2 i-2 mile surface for one bad spot---an inch or two of grit or grime--often means dis aster.
 Tn the greasy worksheds on the Inside rail of the rambling old course where men and machines have been battling more than Q quarter century, mechanics tuned the motors. And watching their every move were the drivers, for they have personal interest in these nachines-personal because c loose bolt or Q faulty spring fire. quently means death.
 Heard the Rules
 The drivers gathered in one of the huts on the old track late to. day and listened to the head of the Speedway, Capt. Eddie Ricken. packer, review the rules for speedy but sane driving. After that talk as if these veterans needed to be warned of the dangers that turk out on the broad stretch = the drivers returned to their sheds, some to sleep with their cars like faithful trainers on Kentucky Derby eve.
 And, unless an accident occurs, the betting is that one of those men is going 10 better the record Of ii7.200 miles an hour set by Floyd Roberts in 1888. It almost was broken last year. Roberts pre- vented that by cracking up and being killed.
 The field was averaging iio miles an hour when Roberts crashed. For 90 minutes, the boys were slowed down to % before the track was clear and the Ego ahead"

Horse Honored!

Boston, May 20. (UP)-Brass Monkey, Q l2.year-old gelding and veteran of 247 horse races, was ready for the lush. green pastures of rec tirement today after Q farewell party ct the Coconut Grove night club.
 The Monkey, known as "New Eng lands favorite race horse," was led onto the clubs dance floor last night to receive . bouquet of flowers and q meal of oats and carrots. About 500 racing fans, track officials, jockeys and owner Miss Lillian 0. White of Plymouth were present.
 Banquet sponsors said that though Brass Monkey, who once held the 1 i-4 mile track record at Rocking ham, was only mediocre as . race horse, they thought the game gelding should be- honored because he was . symbol of determination-a horse that never quit.

BY HUGO HooKJAB

New Haven, May 20 - Favorites won the feature bouts at New Haven Arena here tonight when Johnny Bellus, 90 year old New Haven boxer and seventh ranking welterweight, outpointed Carl tRed) 0ugRlno of Hartford in lively eight round go and Irish Eddie Dolan of Waterbury continually boxed his way out of trouble to win going away as Bell tired in the final two rounds of an eight round bout. Both battles pleased Q small crowd which paid less than $500 to see . ring show that was mediocre until Dolan and Bell climbed in the ring.
 Bell changed his style of fighting at the outset and scored soundly with left jabs and hard right hand shots in the first two rounds, reach- Ing the Dolan schnox2le with two hard drives in the second heat, After that Dolan slowly but surely outpointed Bell, scoring with many blows to the belly and evading the rushes of the colored boy who sought to "slug 1t out" In the last two rounds Dolan won as he pleased and altogether gave fine perform anee of boxing and sharp punching, his body attack slowing down the Well-conditioned Bell considerably.
 Dolan.Moifett?
 Ringslde customers decided that the next "big" fight they want to see is Dolan and Red Moffett, if the weight problem can Do handled, though Mofiet will not box again for six weeks due to his recent hard fight In beating Julie Kogan for the second time,
 Bellus needed . little time to catch up with the shitty 0uggino, who has one of the fastest left hooks in the business, but Is in- clined to hold considerably while Bellus' body punching was Q big point in his favor. He threw punch for punch now and then, but is was Bellus that had the edge most of the time.
 They scaled ls7, Dolan and Bell weighed lA6 and i4o.
