famous I'd Division, one of the hard

France, his men nicknamed him Old

horse were familiar figures on the

Two torpedoes struck the me-

another followed in about 5 seconds
and the force of the explosion
snuffed out the blaze.
Forty-eight of the 40 men aboard

lost.
Survivors crowded into one life

were picked up about two hours
after the attack, and were landed on

to sail another torpedoed ship into

 The cast of 60 highly specialized performers is in rehearsal in pre- paration for a tour which will show them in all the principal states of the union The first stop will be in Chicago where it will be on display from Sept g to 20. The remainder of the tentative schedule includes St Louis, Milwaukee, Toledo, Mem phis, New Orleans, Houston, Cin- cinnati, Dallas, and the west coast.
 Most colorful performers are Lu- cille Page, famous novelty and acro- batic dancer and Gloria Nord, the worlds No. 1 ba1lerina. Skating Vanities is only six months old and it is remarkable the way it has caught on. It took Steinman only two years to assemble this huge production.
 Steinman, 37, managed King Le- vinsky and Johnny Paycheck both of whom fought heavyweight cham pion Joe Louis. He first saw the light of day in Minneapolis. He promo ted several fights in Chicago, his biggest being the $75,000 gate" when Sharkey fought Levincky. He was tremendous factor in ice shows bringing to them from Europe such stellar attractions as Prick and Track, Red Mccarthy, the Brandt sisters, among others. And now the rollers.

 New York, Aug 7.-1rving Berlin and Albert Spalding, modified mara thons on the streets of New York, all of Dempsey's fights except the Shelby debacle, bowling, rodeos, race tracks, dog races, movies, swimming pools, poultry shows and glamor girls-they've all been amonk my publicity accounts, and they were honeys.
 Now I'm tackling the toughest, yet most interesting, ballyhoo of them ala roller skating revue dressed up to the tune of $1O0,000 and aptly named Skating Vanities! Before Father Time catches up with me I hope to make the White House.
 My head has been in a whirl ever since I sat down to write my first piece. You're told there are 20,000,- 900 people roller skating conscious, some as competitors, others just ordinary skaters for the fun they get out of it, an dthe remainder fans and spectators. Roller skating has forged rapidly ahead until to- day 1t is one of the leading sports in America
 Skating Vanities is a new form of entertainment In more ways than one it is 8 ziegfeld production on wheeles with all the technique of the late master snowman
 The public has no idea of the vast fortune spent assembling the cast and the trousand and one items in- volved. A pair of precision skates which make for noiseless competi- tion or dancing cost between $40 and $50 each Luckily the young promotional genius, Harold Stein man, a graduate of the boxing bus iness, has stored away enough of these indispensable skates to last 3 years. The costumes run as high as $50 each and about 300 of them are used. There are six different changes for group numbers alone. Thirty-Six of them for one number runs in the neighborhood of $7,500.

 31 Spark Canada Open

Toronto, Aug. 7.-(UP)-The all- star field of the Canadian open golf tournament set out after little Ben Hogan of Hershey, Pa, in the second round today, hoping to match his sensational, seven-under-par open- ing round
 Hogan holed out a 65 yesterday, taking the lead which had been conceded by the experts to Craig Wood and Ralph Guldahl. They scored 66.
 The links leading money winner started slowly, putting weakly on the first three holes, but covering them in par. Then he turned on his skill, climaxing the round with a brilliant seven-foot putt on the 18th green.
 Sensational
 The days best nine holes were shot by Clayton Heather, who cov- cred the first nine in 31. He faltered on the back nine, however, for a 37 and a total of 68.
 Heafner's 68 gave him an undis- puted hold on third place. Tony Penna, whose early 69 looked for midable before Wood came in, fln- ished in fourth place.

 In one race at the dimmed- out track last night, just as eight GreyhOunds roared into the backstretch in pursuit of Swiftly, the mechanical rab- bit who almost never loses, the lights went out completely. When the lights came on again a few seconds later, Swiftly was back in his box and the be- wildered Greyhounds were snapping and growling at one another.

impressed by the steady improve ment the boy had shown in every minor league he had worked in and Stephens has shown the same kind of improvement this season.
 He started of "hot'-getting five hits in the first four games of the season and batting in nine runs. There were some who regarded the boy as possible flash in the pan but he has proved himself a real find and one of the greatest young inf1elders to come up to the Amer lean league in many a season.
 He's not quite the fielder that Johnny PeSky of Boston is, for the Red Sox rookie is a marvel, going to either right or left and is spec tacular on bad-hopping balls. But Stephens is steady, has 8 good armand outshines the Boston star in the au-importa1at matter of driving in runs

 Whereas Pesky, through 94 games, had batted in but 28 runs, Stephens had driven home 73 - a figure topped only by Ted Will Hams 97, one which was better than the RBI total held by Joe DiMaggio's 72, Laab's 70 and Bob- bic Doerr's II. Stephens had scored 65 runs, made 129 hits-of which 18 were doubles, four triples and il home runs = and had stolen three bases.

 He's a quiet-spoken modest chap, chock-full of confidence in his ability. During spring train ing this season he told this core spondent: i've gotten a little bit better in every league in which I've played - and I'm certain my luck will hold with the Browns"

Picked Young Recruit As a Future Star

 Chicago-The date was March IA, last, the time about 3 p. m, and the place Conrad Field, spring training base of the St. Louis Browns.
 Brownie manager, Luke Sewell, stretched out in the cool of the dugout, squinted out into the blaz- ing sun and said: ''That kid out there is going to be the kingpin of our defense - and if he comes through as a hitter we're going to cause a lot of trouble this sum- mer."
 Sewell pointed toward a stocky, blond youngster who was busy scooping up ground balls and fir- ing them back to Coach Fred Hoffman at the plate. The young ster was Vernon Stephans, up from Toledo and even at that early date the No. l shortstop choice of Manager Sewell for the 1942 season.
 T have a hunch he's going to do all right" grinned the Brownie pilot.
 That little scene took place al- most five months ago and in that space young MT. Stephens has good indeed. The 21-year-old made Sewell's hunch look very boy from Long Beach, Cal, has his batting in the better 300 reaches and is fielding respectable .948.
 Stephens has played in all but two of the Brownies encounters. His steadiness has been one of the major factors in the clubs climb to the first division and a spot where the Sewellmen are a very good let to finish as high as sec ond this season = 8 stratospheric height last reached by a St. Louis American league club in 1922.

The Rising Tide
By FRED HART WILLIAMS

Seeplng through the marshlands OF
servile egradation,
Over furrow'd fields where citl-

Labor. peon-like, in soul-racking
toll.
Onto battle-scarr'd plains OF sec
tional hate,
Where the hot blood OF factions
bubble and boil;
Pausing not. resting not, early not
nor late,
Mounting ever higher and higher,
leaving a change
Gross wooded dell and rugg'd
mountain range:
Moist'ning the brow. Of boast'd
southern chiyalry
(Rising, ever rising, with grim in
tensity),
Mill-dewing cen the purity OF its
proudest names,
Creating as II mounts hatred that
grows and flames.
Till the rising tide OF color preju-
dice soon
Will this fair land engulf, and the
priceless boon
OF freedom. liberty and the right
10 happiness pursue,
Shall mock the white man, who
let the tide come through.
