tries more numerous, but the out
standing leaders in the various d.
visions, especially the three year
old division, are included in one or
more of thirteen stakes. The Della
ware meeting runs from May 18th
through July 4th with the excep-
ton of no racing on the two Mon
days, June 9Th and 18th. Always
heavy nominator to Delaware
stakes, since the track opened in
1887, Mrs. Payne Whitney again is
among the leaders with 26 stake
entrants. Starting with the Dover
Stakes, opening day feature for
two year olds, the famed Whitney
colors will be seen. For this $4,000
five furlong sprint Greentree has
named Cumshaw a bay colt by Co
hort Welcome Gift, and Pacifist a
bay gelding by Peache Chance
Lady Be Good. For the Delaware
Oaks, a $500 mile and furlong
event for three year old fillies. Mrs.
Whitney has named Tierce, a choc-
olate by st. Germans-Parry in the
hopes of making it two straight for
this stake. Tangled won the trophy
presented by Mrs. Marion dupont
Scott last year for Mrs. Whitney.
Tangled set a new record in doing
it.
Always an ardent hacker of
Isteeplechasing, Mrs. Whitney's
nominations for this branch of the
sport at Delaware are likewise
ncmerous. For the Spring Maiden
Steeplechase, Fieldfare and Car
teret have been named, while the
former is also amnog the entries
for the $4,000 Georgetown Steeple-
chase.
Four Greentree stars have been
named for the $4,000 Sussex mile
and quarter race for three year
olds and over on June 20 headed by
The Rhymer, winner of Hialeah's
famed $4,000 added Widener Cup.
The others are Corydon, Swing and

We're You Ever HOmesick?

Anyone who has been in a
strange place with strange
people and few means of
amusement can understand
what inconsistencies is. And
anyone who has ever been
homesick can appreciate what
the USO clubs must mean to
those soldiers, sailors and ma
rines who are far from home.
The USO-United Service
Organizations = throughout
the country, are dedicated to
the principal of making a
home for the boys in service.
Comfort and entertainment
cost money. The USO are
asking for funds to continue
this service. They are asking
the people of Smyrna and
Clayton to contribute.
There is hardly a person
living here who does not know
at least one boy in the service.
That boy far from home,
think particularly of him for a
minute. First, imagine him a
little lonely perhaps, feeling
strange and uprooted, not yet
acquainted entirely with his
surroundings or his compan-
ions. Then, imagine that par
ticular boy visiting a USO
club, where he is provided
with free dances, free food, a
homelike atmosphere where
he can listen to the radio or
write letters or play ping
pong or read magazines and
books from the library.
Those boys are where they
are now because all we, right
here in Smyrna and Clayton,
hold dear in life today is in
peril. If those boys can fight
for our way of life, then we
can reach into our purse and
contribute to the building of
their morale, by supporting
the USO.

The leading three year olds, in

and glory for themselves in the
outstanding three year old classics,
east and west, this Spring, are
heavily engaged at Delaware Park
where racing begins May 29th. In

petition such outstanding three
year olds of their years as Gala
hadion, Eight Thirty, Challedon,
Andy x, Dit, Your Chance, Ell
Chico, Mythical King, and Rose

eligible for the $40, 900 Kent, which
is exclusively for three year olds,
also is in the $4,000 Sussex Handi-
cap, and the $1,000 Brandywine
Handicap. Shut Out, the Kentucky
Derby winner who began his career
at Delaware Park last Summer
with a victory, also is in the Kent.
There is a Delaware parallel in that
Challedon also began his racing
career at the track on the out
skirts of Wilmington. However,
Challedon did not win in his debut.
Shut Out not only won, but he set
a new track record of LOS 2-5 for

Silent Tom paused and looked
down the back stretch as if he eX-
pected to see the Biscuit out there
again-clip-clopping along with his
head down and his ears up asking
neither questions nor favors but
beating the best that was sent
against him. Then he turned back
to me with a faint smile of shyness
on his leathery face and added in
dignantly:
NONSENSE
Say, there was some silly rumor
around that Biscuit was sick. Some
gossip columnist said so. A lot of
nonsense, that. Bicuit had a bit of
a cold but he got over it quickly
Scared the insurance folks half to
death. Biscuit used to be insured
for 100000, you know, and now his
premium goes even higher. That's
liable to scare anyone around"

seems to have passed him by. The

old fellow in the dark blue suit and
crumpled felt hat leaned lightly
against the rail on the club house

laundering by. The dust rolled up
in a thick cloud and as it settled
he slowly polished his steel-rimmed
spectacles until once again you could
see the sharp CLINT of his pale blue
eyes.

voice as the clatter of hooves rum
gled away into the distance, yes, it

he can't be here to defend that rec

and, of course, he was talking about
his Seabiscuit. Five years earlier
he had stood by the same rail at

For the second time this
season Ell Centro's B league
Softball all-stars are sched-
uled to get together for a
game as they meet a strong
Mexican team on the Imperial high
school field Wednesday at 8 pm.
Preparing for the all-out battle
with San Diego team headed by
Joe Hurst July 10 in El Centre. the
stars will encounter the MeXicali
bunch "Wednesday and the
next Wednesday below the inter-
national boundary. The former I'M
perial Valley ace moundsman has
gathered a team around him which
includes several valley players OF
a few years back. and has issued a
challenge to the local leaguers.
The B leaguers know the calibre of
HurSt's slanting and are not stand
ing around letting the flowers grow
while getting into shape for the
contest.
Last week Carl Jackson led the
satellites out of their valley orbit
and shone in his full brilliance as
he pitched the all-stars to shining
victory over the Yuma all-Stars,
7-2.
And it will be the pitching of
Jackson, all 1875 pounds of him.
which will be counted upon to set
back the Mexicali crowd when it
invades and in the return game.
League officials were counting on
using Charles Coffman, Cramer's
chucker, along with jackson. but
he has been transferred 10 Yuma
and it appears likely that he will
not be able TO play.
Manager Max Sones of the league
said Monday that all team man
ayers should be at the Imperial
field Wednesday at pm. to collect
expense money for the game last
week and also obtain their teams
share of the gate receipts. Money
from all-star games is to be divided
among the teams to buy equipment.

Cleo Shans. the boy from Braw-
ley who was not even known in
Los Angeles until he started to-
wards the top, will have his chance
when he goes up against the title
holder Jackie Wilson, in August.
The former Imperial Valley boot
black fought for a long time in

here before he headed for L. A.
Shans is well remembered because
of his constant leather throwing
Not a stylist, it is his method to
keep boring in and hitting the other
fellow until he's not there to hit
anymore.
In the big coast city he was known
ed in the preliminary paths. He
won a good share of his fights
but he also lost a few of them.
Then Shans made some good con-
nections and started out on tour
of the eastern part of the United
States and seems unbeatable. Los
Angeles quickly put the stamp Of
approval on their boy from a dis
tance and from then ON everytime
he is mentioned in a press dispatch
it's from Los Angeles
Not long ago Shans scored over
Carmelo Feno, former lightweight
champion of South America, in an
eight-round preliminary to the

tomary brIising attack earned him
the laurel and in all probability fig
