Keeps Amateur Standing.
Chuck maintains that when he
becomes president Of the Sox at 81
he will leave the executive duties
to his mother, Mrs. Grace Comiskey
while he learns the business from
the spikes mp.
At De La Sale he is attending the
same school where his dad played
center and captained football in
1905.
Il would like to go to Notre
Dame" he says. 'Knute Rockne
and dad were close friends"
Chuck is making certain that he
keeps his amateur standing so he
can compete in college athletics.
Il once considered going to a Sox
farm team to play, but I have de-
cided against 1t because I don't want
to sacrifice my amateur standing, -
he says.
When the Sox are at home Chuck
Is suited and out on the field warm
ing up with the gang. During the
summer he goes along with the
team on a couple of its Eastern
swings.
Ready to Start From Scratch.
He is perfectly willing to start from
scratch and work his way up as a
major league player, asking no
favors. The Sox take him under
their wing. giving him valuable tips
and throwing him approving grins
every time he poles a long ball or
makes a fancy catch.
There's no such thing as handling
him with kid gloves, for Chuck isn't
that kind of a fellow. He seems
right at home with the gang and
they in turn miss him when he's
not around.
And they'll tell you that Chuck
has the makings of fine ball player
One day maybe you'll see the young
Roman out there holding down first
base-the Sox gang is sure he'll
make the major league grade.

His classmates at De La Sale
High School know him as a regular
guy who plays football. basket ball
and hockey and would like very
much for the school to include base
ball in its sports program.
Nowhere in sports, perhaps, is
there anything comparable to the
deep sentiment and tradition sur
rounding the Comiskey dynasty,
founded by Charles A. Comiskey,
carried on by j. Louis Comiskey,
whose death in 1889 passed it on to
Charles A., II, his son.
A husky 170-pounder, 6 feet tall
with palm-leaf hands, young Chuck
wants to be a first baseman, a po-
sition his grandfather-"the Old
Roman"-played before founding the
Sox and building Comiskey Field.
Chuck started out as a pitcher in
grammar school, getting valuable
tips from ageless Ted Lyons.
Wants to Follow Grandpa.
"But no matter how long I prac-
ticed with Ted after school," re-
calls Chuck, II just couldn't get
much control.
I've also played in the outfeld
but want to be a first baseman like
grandpa You remember he was
considered one of the games great
est early first sackers. He was said
to have revolutionized first base by
moving off the bag"
Chuck, who is stepped in family
baseball history, meant that the Old
Roman was among the first to rove
around the base. Until this style
was adopted the player remained
glued to the bag on defense.
Nothing makes Chuck any prouder
than his grandfather's baseball rec
ord.
What does this lad, the envy of
millions of kids over the country,
think about his future?

II.
NEW YORK. July 4.-Racing helps
set off the Nations sports fireworks
today, with $4,000 worth of top
flight stakes. such standout attrac-
tions as WhirlaWay. Shut Out and
Valdina orphan doing their stuff
and war relief cutting in on the
profits.
All but a handful of the classiest
campaigners in the 3-year-old and
handicap divisions will be in action
in the turf's gaudiest single day pro-
gram of the season.
Arlington, the Chicago layout, are
turning over all their take, less only
purses to horsemen, to the war eff
fort. This figures something like
100000 each, and will boost the
turf's contributions over the million
dollar mark on the road to racing S
goal of 100000.
WhirIy Runs in Butler.
From a point of view of fan in
terest, the top attractions are Whirl-
away's crack at the $4,000 Butler
Handicap at Empire, which will
move him right up close to Sea-
biscuits money winning record if he
wins, and the renewal of the duel
between Mrs. Payne Whitney's Shut
Out and Emerson Woodward's VAL
dina Orphan for 3-year-old honors
in the $4,000 Yankee Handicap at
Suffolk. Both are 3-16th-mile
whirls.
At Arlington, the headliner Is the
$4,000 Stars and Stripes Handicap,
also 3-16ths miles, in which Best
Seller, which won the Equipoise Mile
there week ago, hooks up again
with Equifox.
Delaware offers the $4,000 New
castle Handicap. with two top handi-
cap mares, Crispin Oglebay's Level
Best and George Widener's Rosetown
heading a field of eight. Sam Rid
dies War Hazard is the chief out
side threat in the 1-16-mile go.
Detroit's feature is the 5000 Liberty
Handicap, attracting six sprinters.
Spots Lot of Weight.
Whirlaway is running on strange
track and spotting the seven others
in the Butler field from 20 to 80
pounds each, yet he probably will be
about l to to win. Victory would
boost his earnings for his ~ years
of racing to S427 ,436-just $10,294
short of the Biscuits bundle. Mrs.
Payne Whitney's entry of the
Rhymer and Swing and Sway, each
carrying 112 pounds, appears as his
chief threat.
Mrs. Whitney's big punch. how
ever, will be running at Suffolk.
Winner of the Kentucky Derby and
Belmont Stakes. Shut Out wants
revenge for what Texas owned VAL
dina Orphan did to him in the
Dwyer Stakes couple of weeks ago.
But the Orphan is on his home
grounds, having won three straight
at Suffolk. Col Ed Bradley's Bless
Me, which went out of action shortly
before the Derby, comes back to try
to haunt the big names in the field
of five. Shut Out and the Orphan
are carrying 126 pounds, Bless Me
116.
The Arlington feature is packed
with upset possibilities. Sirocco,
husky runner of couple of years
ago, is back in action, and Hugh
Nesbitts stretch-flying Staretor is
in the field of IA with only los
pounds on his back, compared with
the 122 for Best Seller.

That First 'Chute Jump

Nerves receive a severe test before

final moments preceding the test, one

After landing and finding no injuries
one becomes decidedly Jump happy.
! At least that's the way the expert

paratroop forces. Pay worked for a
year at the Chapple's Inc, store before
he was called up for military service
in the fall of 1910. His. wife makes

Of Wilsall, Captain Pay describes his

a three-month period Of training at
Camp Toccoa, Ga, and which was
part of qualifying for his commission.

it was three days later before the Of

State Soldiers Want
Montana Flag to Flu

Montana patriotic organizations
have been asked by Gov. Sam G. Ford
for financial assistance to keep the
Montana flag flying" in army posts
wherever Montana men are serving.
His action came after receipt Of
letters from men In service asking for
replicas of the state flag. He quoted
one from Pvt. Leonard d. Little, a
Montana man at Camp Roberts, Calf,
as typical:
"In the U. S. o. club In San Miguel
the closest adjoining town, there are
flags of very nearly all the states,
presented to the club by these various
states.
There isn't however, any from
Montana, and, as there are quite a
few boys here from Montana, we feel
q little sighted in this matter. Even
If you, as governor of the state, can
not do anything about 1t, you may
know someone who win help in this
matter and oblige bunch Of Montana
boys in Camp Roberts"
Ford replied that he Is calling your
letter to the attention of the press In
hope that patriotic organizations and
other groups may feel inclined to help
you out in the matter and raise funds
for this purpose. assure you that the
people of Montana are proud Of their
sons in the service and they want to
do everything possible to be worthy Of
them In this grave hour" He said the
state has no funds with which to pur-
chase flag replcas.

Melby continued. Wyoming sur
passes our state on that score. From
the viewpoint Of economic capacity,
which means productive power, Mon
tana is right up near the top in second
place. and leading Idaho, Minnesota,
Washington, Oregon, and North
Dakota"
Despite the fact, however, that
North Dakota trails in economic capa-
city and thus has less money than
any of the seven, President Melby
said, "she spends more Of it to sup
port her colleges" Montana, on the
other hand, although second in econ
omic capacity, was last in the amount
of money devoted to higher education.
I'm the months and years to come,
our Montana colleges thus face
double task" he said ''They must
meet the responsibilities which the
war and postwar world will bring to
their doors, and they must simultan-
eously give the people Of our state
such an understanding Of the prob
lens of higher education and of the
needs Of our institution that adequate
support will be forthcoming.
Without such support these institu- |
tons viii not be able to cope success
fully with the responsibilities now |
confronting higher education IN our
country"
