Hing to
Hang Up
His Tack
BY LEWIS H. WALTER

Jockeys Jess Higley and Johnny
Adams will continue their race
for riding honors at the Detroit
race track today without any COM
petition from the boy who holds
the all-time record for. winners in
a single day at the Fair Grounds.
Jockey George King is hanging
up his tack.
Just one more race-on Wise
Moss next Saturday in the $1,000
Liberty Handicapped King is
through for keeps.
King has already left the Detroit
track on a visit 10 relatives. He's
coming back to ride Wise Moss.
and then he'll go down TO Ken
lucky and start raising hogs on the
54-acre farm his contract en-
ployer, J. c. Ellis, picked out for
him at Newman, in Davis County.
I Georges father and mother have
given up their little restaurant in
Thebes, ILL.,, his birthplace, and
are running the farm now.
WEIGHT WINS
The problem of making weight
has finally whipped King. The 20
Iyear-old youngster weighed SO
pounds when he started riding for
Jim Ellis, owner of the Dade Park
race track, two years ago. Now he
has 127 pounds on his 5 foot inch
frame, and is under a doctors care
because of the abuse his stomach
has to take when he reduces for
a race.
King is one of the best riders
Detroit has seen. He took his first
mount at the Oaklawn Park track
at Hot Springs, Ark, in February.
1910, and scored with his fifth
mount. He rode 116 winners as an
apprentice and has booted home
$50 since for a total of 266. When
he rode five winners on the card
of eight races at Detroit June 8
last he set an all time record for
the track.
Some of Kings most notable
successes have been as the rider
of Mrs. Edward McCuan's brilliant
Wise Moss. George rode her to
eight victories last year. This year
he has ridden her twice. On the
first trip he hustled her to a new
track record of lilo 2-5. Next time
he got the daughter of Wise Coun-
Isellor home by nose over Desig-
nator in the $1,000 Cadillac Handi-
cap.

Yankees Lead
Cut 10 s. Games
AsLoop Rallies

The American League pennant
race seemed in imminent danger
of an unscheduled upheaval today.
The Yankees five and a half

stand a severe slump but with
even the sixth-place Chicago White

And in that string, the Yankees

only the Browns in a two-game

except rookie Hank Borowy, have

The McCarthymen may pick w
some ground during the next three
games with Philadelphia but the
Red Sox will be tough in their
three-game set. Then, after a single
game with the AS, the western
wallpapers will invade the stadium
for IL games and unless the
Yankees find the answer TO their
particular puzzle, the race might
become interesting.

From Athletics
But BeneaIs Suffer
Shutout in Niehteap
of Sunday DoubIeheader
BY LEO MACDONELL

The Tigers will play the Mud
Hens in an exhibition game at
Toledo tonight.
Maybe they can sharpen up
their hitting on American Asso-l
citation pitchers. They can stand
a bit of grinding from an old scis-
sors manor from the Hens.
Though their hitting was woe
full they did manage to gain an
even break with the Athletics in
a Sabbath Day bargain bill, win
ming the first game, 3 TO 2, and
dropping the second. 3 TO 0.
They captured the frontspiece
only through some extraordinary
hurting by young Harold New
ihouser and a pinch hitter by the
name Of Don Ross (you must re-
member HIM who was found in
the corner of the dugout among
a lot Of old bats.
FANS MAKE MERRY

two contests.
This saved some face in the
eyes of some q, 900 customers who
were not in the usual generous
frame of mind. 1t was boo the
Home Boys Day" at the park and
the fans made merry at the ex-
pense of some of the boys. Not
all the fans. of course. There were
lplenty of cheers, too.
The fans booed Rudy York
rather Justify. although the big
first baseman got one hit and
scored one of the big runs in the
first game. But from Rudy the
fans demand more. They would
like TO see him get back into home
run form. So would York.
AGAIN, But BRIEFLY
The fans even booed New
IhOuser-but briefly He got cheers
at the conclusion of the game.
And when Barney McCosky let
ball slip through his legs for ar
error the left field fans yelled:
look out, here comes Wake
field"
The implication, of course. was
that Dick Wakefield is coming uI
to the Tigers from Beaumont
where he has been hitting Texas
! League pitchers with considerable
regularity. 1t might be good
idea - the bringing up of Wake
field. Steve O'Neill says he is
ready.
Ned Harris in the fourth inning
scored York with one of the
Tigers three runs with a triple
Mike Kreevich, after a hard run,
got his hands on Ned's blow but
couldn't hold the ball. Billy Hitch

clincher in the ninth.

Fifteen thousand men and wom-

seven days week, and the
change from peace-time to war
time production is being accom-
plished rather easily, though not
without considerable disloca-
tons in Jobs and business.
Certain dies and tools were
changed, certain men who were
skilled in some trades have had
to learn other skills in the trade
schools and war plants. Even so,
there are some workers out of
Jobs not because their services
are not needed somewhere but
because, for the moment, there
care no jobs requiring their spe-
cial talents. But that situation is
being ironed out rapidly.
And in the meantime these
workers are enjoying the high
est wages they ever have known
and they are spending their ex-
ira money literally in the pur-
chase of War Bonds, in taxes
and for merchandise.
Retail business is booming
and as yet there appear to be
only occasional shortages Of
goods.
But the retailers and whole.

the wartime boom. Many OF
them remember the evil years

to essentials. But when 1t was
suggested that picking and can

volunteered to do the job.
Muncie business is meeting

The county school superinten-

the desertion of teachers to the
war industries but he does not

One of them who was drawing
about $1,000 a year as teach

schools, where salaries are much
higher than in the country have
not been so greatly affected by
war work. The Ball State Col
lege has suffered few losses from
its faculty, but it is feared that

reduce the fall enrolment of
young men conciderably.
