If victorious tomorrow. ST. Albans
will finish its schedule with the

setback. After losing its opener to
Baltimore's ST. Pauls this season
st. Adams now has won five success
sive games, all except last months

If the Saints should lose tomorrow
they will be tied for first place in

an age and weight basis. Each
team is under immediate supervision
of coach who is a regular mem

Sad Tale Of Thessa|y's |xion
Horse Player. Sch|emmie|
BY DAMON RUNYON

YOU are reading in the war
L news from Greece of the
Plains of Thessaly and of the
city of Larissa, which was the
capital of the kingdom of Thes-
sally in the days when I&ion was
king.
Now there was a fine 1S-karat
schlemmiel, that IXion-a royal
bum. Wait until you hear what
he did.
ThessaIy was famous for its
horses. 1t was the Blue Grass
region of the period. 1t produced
the forerunners of Robert Nor
ris. the next Kentucky. Derby
winner, AMI of Whirlaway and
Porter's Cap Qook OUT for him
if it comes up mud and of Our
Boots and Bold Irishman and
Attention.
Ixion was a terrific horse
fancier and he had a stable that
would have made Lucky Charley
Towards look sick.
He was also a horse player
and like all horse players he
was generally broke. His book
makers were on his neck de-
manding that he take up his
markers. So Ixion married the
daughter of Deioneus, another
royal bloke of the period, with
the understanding that a fat
dowry was to go with her. The
daughters name was Dia.
nEIONEUS was also fond of
~ the gee-gees and it seems
that as part of the deal for the
daughter, Ixion was to give old
Deioneus part of his stud. But
after the arriage Ixion
WEIGHED on his promise and then
Deioneus declined to kick in on
the dowry. In the meantime, the
bookmakers had extended Ixion
fresh credit on the strength of
his prospects, but when he failed
to settle, they grew importunate
again.
We are telling you the story
just as it is set down in "Ixion
in Heaven" which was written
years ago by a young English
author who should have re-
manned humorist, but who
turned into a statesman and a
belted earl.
Well, to get back to Ixion, he
finally invited Deioneus to the
races at Larissa, thinking they
might get their difficulties
ironed out In a heart-to-heart
CAB. On that same day, Ixion
in an effort to replenish his
bankroll, went hook, line and
slnker on a real good thing-a
sleeper. as we gather.
He stood to knock all the
bookies in Thessaly in the creek,
but it seems that Deioneus
bought the horse in advance of
the race and withdrew it, thus
spelling Ixion's swindle.
WE THINK that was a dirty
w trick and justified to some
extent Ixion's next move. He
planned to give Deioneus sort
OF hotfoot and to that end dug
a pit in his garden and filled it
with burning Goals. Then he
induced Deioneus to 90 for a
stroll with him and pushed the
old guy into the pit. the result
being broiled father-in-law.
The incident caused much adj
verse comment in the commu-
nifty and in fact Ixion had TO
take it on the Jesse Owens. He
fled to a remote plain where he
met Jupiter, who took compass
sion on him and sent him TO
heaven escorted by Mercury.
There Ixion mingled with

 Soviet informants said the offen- sive will be one of the largest in the history of the. Red Army as the ranks by now being strength ened by hundreds of thousands of reservists being assembled and equipped for the big push against the combined German forces.
