The race continues to be as close as the experts predicted after the first round with any one of the 8 teams still in the race after twenty five weeks of bowling. Milt Wynn has the percentage figured right down to the extra decimal places and as near as I can figure 1t out, Ave teams are actually tied for first place with the other three teams so close that a two game loss for any one of the top teams may send them skidding into the cellar position.
 If you don't think that this has been a merry race look at Milt Wynn's grey locks and ask him the reason for 1t.
 Last weeks results complicated matters that much more. The ail- ing Red Sox woke up long enough to tag the As three games, the Cubs tagged the Giants two games to one and sent Boys and Girls O'Rielly home ready to murder a few Of his teammates. The Braves slapped down the league leading Tigers two games and went into a tie with the Yankees for the coveted spot. The Yankees after loosing a tough first game by one pin proceeded to bowl and wound up recovering their their slight hold on first place along with the Braves.
 The For Sale sign went up on the CCC and H blackboard after their disasterous evening. Catch-at-catch Can Cattana, Chopper Coppola, Choo- Choo Chabot, and Handsome Harry Hubert the Big Moose.
 The Red Sox forgot to stall and Happy Hartwick, Chicken Grove, Desmond Desmarais, Duke Daly and Eggs" Wooster found themselves up on top of the heap.
 Three years ago the rumor was around that Gas Along McHugh, the big oil man from the East End was through as bouler and wavi- CTS were asked, but the genial Fred cone offered to take the burden on his team and the result showed that his judgement was perfect as the Great McHugh has made real comeback and is now enjoying his best year.
 Barber White raised the price of his haircuts and the quality of his bowling.

HARKINS HANDED
 DECISION OVER

BY JOHN A. CLUNEY
 Sports Editor

Nearly knocked out in the First round, Wicky Harkins of Philddel- phia, not only went eight rounds against Ernie "Cat" RUbinsod of Jamaica, Long Island, but wound up with the decision and best wishes of Referee Bill Smith of Norwalk, as all that and more hap- pened last night before more than 1900 patrons of the manly art who filed in and out of Buckingham hall to see a card of action that left little to be desired.
 In the opinion of the writer, Rob- i1son, by virtue of having Harkins out on bis feet Q half dozen times during the eight rounds, deserved the decision, which he didn't get, though Harkins wound up strong, winning the final round. The de. cision was quite popular with the fans.
 One Round
 The referee is reported to have given Robinson but one round, the first, which Is ridiculous, as the ne gro welterweight had all the best of the heavy punching throughout the entire fight with the exception of te final heat, had Harkins reel. ing around the ring time and again, and in general looked like c clear winner.
 Harkins presented a great exhibi. ton of courage, some boxing abil- ity and Q fair punch, but Robinson punched himself out trying for Q kayo, which he didn't score, but gave Harkins 6 thorough going-over during his seven -round effort. odd. ly enough, Harkins looked like Q first round knockout victim, but came back so well that he won the eighth and final round and the de. cision which showed up by a mar gin of two points, 3s-36, on the ref. eree's card. Both boys weighed l46 i-2 pounds.
 Mike Angieri of Inwood, Long rs. land, was the real Init" of the show, for he punched out Q well-deserved win over the classy and hard. hitting Neil Miller of Wilkes Barre, Pa. The boys went at 1t hammer and tongs from the first to the sixth round. Miller scored early, but his efforts were nullifed in the third, when the tough. shifty and hard hitting Angieri slowed Miller down to a walk had him holding on, and in general, fought a winning fight from there on. Miller tried hard to even things up in the sixth and final round but Angieri was able to handle his best punches and score himself with hard body shots and straight right-hand clouts to the stomach and head. Angieri scaled l47, Miller l43 1.2.
 Maxie Katz, showing continued Improvement, was good enough to outpoint Johnny Leonard of Wilkes. Barre in six-round bout in which Katz scored early then slowed down but had enough edge, because of ag- gresSiveness, to win the duke. They are middleWeights.
 Eddie Suggs of New York and tall Fred Lewis of Wilkes Barre, went six rounds to Q draw after the main bout. Lewis, 6 ringer for Fred Full. ton, the famous Minnesota Plaster. CT. scored early, but Suggs eveneo up in the last two heats to have part of the even-Stephen decision.
 Emil Etters, l47, lost his first bout In many months, to Tony Falco of Middletown, i45, in 6 four rounder which opened the show.

Greatest Amount Of Money Spent
 On Golf Supplies

 If the people who supply the U. s. with baseballg should decide some year to pool their resources and make just one big baseball instead of the 6ts million. they turn out an- nually, their product would be more than 46 feet In diameter.
 And 1t would take Paul Bunyan, swinging Q bat the size of the Washington Monument, to knock this stupendous sphere over some mythical monster fence.
 We buy and use lot of footballs, too. You could divide up the whole population of the U. s. into squads of 30 persons, and there'd be @ football for every squad each year.
 Or you could take all the pig skins manufactured in the U. s. in a year, rip out the stitchings, and cover more than i25 gridirons with the leather.
 Or take golf balls.
 You might guess there'd be more golf balls than any other kind manufactured, and you'd be right. During 1889 there were 2,88l ,667 dozen turned out. That's @ total of 34,5s0 004-or just about one golf ball for every four persons in the country.
 1889 OUTPUT TOPS
 64 MILLION DOLLARS
 Look at 1t another way. Suppose John e. Duffer, standing at the first tee, keeps hitting his ball out of bounds. Every 10 seconds he tees up another and hits it--but 1t goes out of bounds, too.
 Well, hitting them at the rate of six a minute, 24 hours a day, he could keep swinging for Il years before he had hit every ball pro- duced in the U. s. in year. Ill that time, even the worst duffer ought to get one in.

My friends, this Patriotic Pin loop really has 8 race on its hands. Look at that standingl Each of the first five teams are separated by a single game With six more weeks to go, only the Eagles are definitely out and they undoubtedly will have plenty to say before the curtain IS lowered.
 The rampaging Reds are steam rolling over all opposition. In the past three weeks they have altered the Stripes lead from eight to three games, racking up nine straight wins for Q new league record. Last week Ed Duhamels Stars fell victims to the Howellmen an dslid all the way down to fifth pjlace, their lowest position since the season opened. You can't pick out an individual star on this team of Howell's as each and every one has done his or her part in the past few weeks, in which time the Reds have switched themselves from a mediocre outfit into the hot test team in the league and into a very contending position.
 The Stripes continued to lose ground as they folded up again with the pressure on. Joe Ariola just can't sem to get his boys clicking again. We thought they were emerging from their slump when they shellacked the Whites in that first game last week but they couldn't stand prosperity and wilted in the last two matches. The double defeat gave the leaders a record of three wins and six losses against their main rivals this round.
 The Blues were handed shock by the Eagles last week as they did a bit of folding themselves, drop ping the first two games and having to stage big comeback to get away with the last one. Bill German. Clarence White and Gertie Gang loff, came through at opportune moments to feature their teams 6sive.

 Blinky Blanchard, Tommy the Tank Sullivan, Sad Face Nelson, Farmer Brown and Jimmy the Bar Der all refused to speak to each other after losing the lead with their two game shellacking. Asprins were taken freely by this crowd.
 Pints Posa, Wrestler McHugh Father Time Hamel, French Fries Tata and Prayers Paternoster went home singing a different tune this week. Their motto is First Phase by Easter- Ha-Ha and lot of them.
 One Foot McGee took over the management of the Yankees and under his guidance they went back into @ tie for first place. Rumor has it that he bought the cub for a song and expects to take this bunch of has-beens in tow and make them champs. Or chumps.

Tonight's schedule Is one of the best of the season and It's outcome will undoubtedly have a great bear Ing on the pennant race.
 The Reds offer no relief to the fading Stripes in tonight's feature clash. A clean sweep for the Reds will put them in @ first place tie, providing the Whites lose two games. N cone expects the Reds to win all three matches but this col- umn would be surprised if the Stripes win more than one, unless they can find that long lost for mulae on how to click together. The Howellmen with a nine game win streak are rarin' to go and are con- fldent they can knock the Stripes out of the top spot, while on the other hand the Stripes are anxious to redeem themselves for their poor showing of recent weeks. It should be some tussle.
 The Blues, but two games out of first and the Whites, even a notch closer than Christie's club, get to- gether in what should be an in- teresting little set-to. Fred Caro- sella's crew has been the toughest in the league for the Blues, the latter being able to win only four times in 12 tries. In the last six weeks the Blues have won three games every other week and this happens to be that "other week again" which may or may not be a good omen. It is not worrying Perry White & Cd. any we'll bet.
 The Stars, who have been fioun- dering miserably the past three weeks take on those unpredictable Eagles of Smiling Billy German to- night and will find no setup here. Germans crew have taken 1t on themselves the role of giant killers and how!

Boys State Program
 Achieves Popularity

tude in gleaning knowledge, begin the week, they are enrolled as citi- zens of @ state. They divide them- selves into groups and become men,- bers of one 10 two purely my thical political parties. Cities and coun- ties are set up mad state govern ment organized.
 The boys elect their own city, county and state officials; learn the duties of the various public offices; their functions and their limitations and powers. Their own legislature Is established, bills are introduced and argued. Ordinances are created and rigidly enforced by @ boys police force. When any rodinance is violated their court of law admin isters justice.
 Everything is carried on in, the same manner employed by the gov erning departments of Arkansas. Nominations and elections are held in strict accordance with Arkanssa regulations.
 To Take Over Capitol
 High-lighting the weeks training course. the boys will take over the capitol in Little Rock for Q one- day legislative session in which they will be allowed to put into practice what they have learned.
 Although 1t is admitted by off- cials of the program that one week or even 10 days Is inadequate time to give the boy all the information he should have concerning his gov- ernment, but 1t Is @ fact that in the time spent, these young men are awakened to a deeper apprecia- ton of some of the sacrifices that have been made to obtain what we have today In America.
 True, too, Is the fact that boys who participate in Boys State have instilled in their hearts and minds a desire to insure the benefits and privileges Americans enjoy.

SECOND DEGREE
 MURDER UPHELD
State Supreme Court Has Backed Conviction of
 New Britain Man

Hartford, Conn, May 28-(UP)- The Supreme court today upheld the second degree murder conyic- ton of Michael Jacowitz, Jr, New Britain, who Is under a life sen- tence for the killing of Frank Sai- tus, Jan. IA, 1888.
 Saltus was wounded niortally dur Ing an argument over a quarrel in- volving children of the two fami- lies. Jacowitz fled after shooting Saltus in the abdomen, and was apprehended early this year in a western state.
 The appeal from his conviction was taken on ground he was not proven guilty beyond reasonable doubt and that the killing was in self-defense
 The unanimous opinion of the Supreme court was that mo facts warranting self defense existed" and there was mo reasonable ground for the defendants belief that the use of this dangerous weapon was necessary to protect either himself or his family from bodily harm.
 True, the defendant was in his own home, but the fact was no jus- tification or excuse for deliberately shooting to death an unarmed, drunken intruder who was not mak- ing an assault upon or threatening him or other members of the house. hold and whom he did not even know"
