NEW YORK; April 25.-The fight
mob along Broadway said 80 long

Little ''Yussel the Muscle" the
colorful-almost legendary-charac-

tough "Hell's Kitchen" to manage
one world heavyweight champion
and six other titleholders in assort-

Of heart attack. -
He passed away in doctors Of

birthday anniversary and just few

by which he gained for his fighters
the publicity SO important to the
science of fisticuff1ng.
This was a newsreel series in

Joe picked up off the fistic scrap

accomplishments probably never

Jacobs (no relation, but a close

Pitt Weakened, Wide
Open Battle Seen
In Penn Relays
N. Y. U. Figures to Give
Ponthers Hard Fight

PHILADELPHIA, April 25.-With
a field of some 5000 entries from
schools all the way from Texas to
Canada and the Midwest to the
Atlantic, the outcome of Penn's
46th annual relays appeared as wide
open as the eld today.
Supreme in four college relay
events year ago, Pittsburgh enters
the two-day meet, starting tomor-
row, with three veterans and large
void where Long John Woodruff
used to be.
Pitt is expected to meet stiffest
competition in the mile from New
York University, which turned in a
3:15 on an indoor track the last
season. The Panthers won a year
ago in 3:148.
Despite the draw, the Panthers
appear best in the sprint medley,
won in 1889 with time of 1888.
With the Rideout twins ineli-
gible, North Texas Teachers will
concentrate on the shorter distances
this year, leaving the 4-mile and
distance medley fields wide open.
Ohio State, New York University,
Manhattan and Maryland loom as
the most likely successor.
In the 4-mile, Cornell, Manhattan,
runner-up last year, and N. Y. U.
are favored.
N. Y. us victorious time of 7:45
in the Emile year ago appeared
endangered by Fordham, which beat
the Violets in the indoor I. C. "A
this year by step in tie of 7:50.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

Stories about babies often are not
uuiqte true to fact. With the passing
of years a child may be told things
which he did as baby, but the per-
son who tells him may not remember
the events just as they happened.
Whether it's true or not, here's
a story about Baby Thomas Carlyle:
Up to the age of II months,
the baby had not spoken a word,
not even dada" or mamma"
Then came a day when a small
boy In the house began to cry, and
from the cradle came a question,
what ails wee Jack?"
Although I cannot say for sure
that little Tom started his talking
be so. Now and then an infant
amazes older persons by one kind
of skill or another.
Thomas Carlyle was born in
Scotland 145 years ago. His father
was a mason and, later in his life,
a farmer. The family grew until
there were nine children.
Little money was to be found
in the Carlyle household. Yet the
father cared enough about educa-
ton to send his children to school.
Tom at first studied in the village
school, then was sent to grammar
school in nearby town.
Both schools cost the family
money; 1t was the custom almost

Don't Take
Nv Word for 1t
BY FRANK COLBY.
SHup Again

A recent article about the pro-
nunciation of SIRUP has caused a
blitzkrieg of protest to explode about
my bloody but still unbowed head.
I gave the correct pronunciation
as "SEAR-up," pointing out that
"the spelling of the first syllable,
because it is identical with the
word SIR, causes the average
speaker to pronounce 1t sur to
rhyme with fur, whereas it should
rhyme with fear"
Scores of readers have suggested
that I buy dictionary. You will
see," they declare, that the pro-
nunciation Is spelled phonetically
as 'SIR-up.'"
That is true; but in dictionaries
that use the Webster diacritical
marks, the 81" of strip has over
it a symbol that is like a small
crescent moon lying on it's side. This
mark gives to the 81" the short
sound as in the first syllable of
irrigate, irritate pronounced: EAR
i-gate, EAR-i-tate) and makes the
SIR of strip rhyme with fear, hear.
To prove that this is true, turn
to your dictionary and look up the
pronunciation of the title SIR.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1940-10-28

You will find it to be "sur" to
rhyme with fur. Thus it is seen that
the SIR of strip does not and
cannot have the sur" sound of
the title SIR.
I must repeat that the only cor
rect pronunciation of strip and
syrup is as I originally listed 1t here.

West hated to overcall with so
much heart strength behind South,
but he was realist enough to fore
see that South would not stay in
heart contract and that the state of
the score made some bid at this
point practically mandatory.
North promptly and properly dou-
bled two clubs. If South's hand
were suited to defense against club
contract, North's values in clubs
assured a good result for the double;
and the singleton heart in the North
hand indicated that the North
South hands might just as well de-
fend since they were unlikely to
60 far extensively. Nevertheless,
this double of two clubs was merely
suggestion.
1t was South's singleton club which
prevented him from accepting the
double With the same high-card
strength and three small clubs South
would have passed his partners dou-
BILE, and even a doubleton club would
have presented a close question.
The singleton club, however, indi-
Gated that a better contract could
be found, so South quite properly
bid two diamonds. AS it turned
out, South made that contract with
an overtrick, whereas West would
have made two clubs without much
trouble.

EXTREME ACTIVITY
IN STEEL FORECAST
Iron Age Bases Prediction Of Good
Business On Three Important
Factors

NEW YORK, Sept. A. L) ALI
indicators point to the probability of
extreme activity" in the steel in
dustry during the rest of 1910, Iron
Age said today in a weekly survey.
The steel magazine based this
forecast on these factors:
Rising steel scrap prices; move
ment of Lape Superior iron ore,
highest IN 8 years in August; exports
of iron and steel, which set an all
time high of TOT, 800 gross tons in
July; national defense requirements;
structural steel contract awards.
80 far as the national defense
program is concerned" Iron Age
continued, "steel companies believe
the buying movement has just be-
gun. Inquiries from the United
States and British governments are
very heavy and some large orders
are expected this MONTH"
