War Bonds Will Give
SO Per Cent Boost
To Race Purses
PS the Associated Press.

Py the Associated Press.
Purses at Delaware Park will be
increased so per cent today, with
the added amounts to be paid in
War bonds, the Delaware Steeple-
chase and Race Association an
nounced.
Since June 10 the association has
been increasing the purses shown in
the condition book, starting with
20 per cent and graduating the
amounts.
With the distribution of S2,670 in
War bonds on June II, the total
amount realized by horsemen
through this medium was increased
to s13,350 for the Delaware track to
date.
The increase in the purses has
brought the Delaware Park per diem
distribution to a point where it is
among the highest in the country.
The condition book calls for a per
diem distribution of s12, ,483, but the
War bond distribution now makes
the figure Sl8,724, with todays so

of the opposition. Josh Gibson,
Grays' catcher, who will receive the
slants of Pitcher Ray Brown, is one
who believes Brown will be the win
ner. For one thing. he says, Brown
is a steadier pitcher, and If the
Grays can give him an early edge
he'll hold it.
Gibson might have something to
do with getting the Grays' runs.
A noted slugger, he has accom-
pished such feats as hitting four
home runs into the bleachers here
in one day during double-header.
He also sr.acked out four home runs
in single game against the Men,

The Satch Is scheduled to pitch

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, June l8.-
Anent the never r-ceasing personnel
changes that have marked the
Knoxville Smokes cellar dwelling
this season comes this yarn from
one of the hired hands:
Knoxville and Nashville crossed
paths in a Memphis hotel on a
recent road trip. Just before dinner
Smoky Owner Bob Allen strobe
through the lobby, passing out meal
money to his players.
One chap, comfortable on a
lounge looked up querously as the
magnate proffered some folding
money.
Haven't you made a mistake,
colonel?' he inquired.
'Eh? How's that? What do you
mean?" the colonel countered, with
drawing the bill.
We'll, I knew you were changing
players fast" the athlete responded,
but not so fast you didn't know
your own men"
The player who almost got a free
meal at Knoxville expense was
Nashville's First Baseman Jim

Satchel Paige, ace, coIored hurler,

Washington Homestead Grays.
Game time is 9 O'Clock.
The Monarcfs are the three-time
champions Of the Negro American
League and the Grays have held
the Negro National League title for
the same pumber of years, so to-
nights contest shapes up as a more

contributed to the island war chest.
Part of the success of the games
was due to the presence among COM
peting athletes of Hubert Kerns,
University of Southern California
400-meter runner, and Patton Jor-
dan, the sprinter.
Both boys, not only through their
winning performances, but in the
general excellent impression they
made. were very popular in Jamaica,
and the AAU, which sent them,
heard nothing but good words con-
cerning the two.
So, aside from sporting considera-
tions, both the national track and
field organization and the State
Department feel that it would be
worth while to get two such fine
fellows as Ewell and Davis into the
West Indies late this month.
