He said the group had made

that Michigan would harvest

100000 bushels less barley
than in 1912. or less than half of
last years record crops OF these

In addition, Kelly said, the
wet weather has caused serious
delay in planting corn, sugar
beets and soybeans al time
when they re especially needed.
Each day G delay in corn
planting after May 25 in Michi-

The planting of sugar beet
acreage has been so retarded by
wet weather and labor short
ages. he said, that the committee
found prospects that the sugar
beet crop would not exceed So
600 acres which might mean a
reduction in the production OF
sugar of l00,000.0OO rounds as

Swif Suede Thinks "RiuaI Will Win
HACC UNHAPPY
AS TO CHANCES
AGAINST DODDS
BY ROBERT L. MEYER
United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT

Chicago, July 2.-(UP)-Gunder
Hagg, the shy Swedish fireman,
matches strides against Gil Dodds
and the clock tonight when he at
tempts to break his own worlds two
mile record in the Central A.A.U.
meet at Soldiers Field.
The Blond Bullet, holder of seven
worlds records, makes his second
appearance in the United States
since coming from his native Swed-
en- on tanker. In his first race June
20, he defeated Greg Rice, winner of
IS track victories, by 40 yards in the
5,000-meter event.
Dodds, Boston theological student,
was booked as Hagg's chief threat.
Even the swift SWede, with charac-
teristic pessimism, predicted Dodds
would break the tape first.
"Dodds is better than 1 am" he
said through his interpreter. II
think he will defeat me-"
But Hagg made a similar FORE
cast just before he defeated Rice b.
the astounding distance of 40 yards.
Hagg was awakened from a sound
sleep today to be told that Arne An
derson at Gothenburg, Sweden, had
broken Hagg's world outdoor mile
record of 4:04.6 running the distance
in 4:02.6. When he learned the
news, Hagg leaped out of bed and
cried:
Il always knew Anderson was the
worlds greatest runner"
Another worlds record will be at
stake when Cornelius Warmerdam,
who holds the pole vault mark of Is
feet, IL inches, tries to clear the
bamboo at 16 feet. A board runway
has been installed to aid Warmer
dams attempt. The rangy vaulter,
now an instructor in the naval pre-
fight school at Del Monte, Calf,
obtained special navy permission to
compete.
Able Competition
Hagg, aiming to crack his two
mile mark at 8:47.8, will compete
against strong field. In addition to
Dodds, there will be Jerry Thompson
of Texas, VINO won the National Col
legiate and New Orleans A. A. U.
tWo-mile events; Roy Phillips of
Tufts, who has been clicked at
9:1O in the two-mile, and Forrest
Efaw, former Oklahoma Aggie and
veteran two-mile campaigner.
Haggs respect for Dodds' ability
was not surprising. The wispy min
istry student refuses to run on Sun
day because of religious beliefs, but
runs at a terrific clip any other day
of the week. He chased Rice home
in 1853 in Emile run last March,
and won the 1,500-meter race at the
National A.A.U.

Scovill also had quite scare

getting seven hits and the winners
making four errors, and the game
going an extra inning.

New York, July 2-(UP)-Count
Fleet, that chunky piece of brown
velvet lightning from the stables of
Mrs. John D. Hertz, is the only colt
on the track today with a chance
of breaking the winning rec
ord established by mighty Whirla-
way.
And little hammerhead, with a
faster pickup than one of his own
er's taxicabs, not only is destined
to shatter Mr.. Longtail's golden
horseshoe, but also will become the
greatest horse in turf history, it is
believed in this corner.
That is a pretty large statement,
particularly when you consider that
the sport of kings is sprinkled liber-
ally with the names of such equine
greats as EXterminator, Seabiscuit,
War Admiral and, greatest of them
all, big red, the one and only Man
O. War.
Lost Big Chance
Whirlaway, the Calumet cannon
ball, had the best prospects of STEP
ping alongside Big Red. But Whirly
was injured last winter after piling
up racing's greatest bankroll, total
of 1851, 161, in little more than four
years. The king of the Calumet
stables made game comeback at
tempt this summer. He started
twice and both times failed to come
through with that roaring stretch
drive that made the others seem to
be standing still Once he finished
third. The next time he was out of
the money, and Warren Wright re-
tired his chestnut beauty to his red
trimmed barns in the blue grass of
Kentucky.
Whirlaway, not yet clothed in the
garments of Renaissance which
made Man O. War a legend, was
and is great horse. But there's
talk around the stables and pad
docks across the country that the
Count will become the greatest story
book horse of all. Yes, as great, if
not greater, than old Red himself.
For the Fleet is sound horse with
a magnificent future, already SHOW
ing his sleek brown nose into the
high income tax brackets.
AS valid a claim to greatness as
any is Whirlaway's money winning
record. The Calumet colossus went
to the post 60 times, won 80. was
second Is times, third in 10 races
and finished out of the green only
four times. But the Fleet holds
forth even greater promise, for
never has colt so completely DOM

Racing at Jamaica is not without
its compensations, however, points

always a cool breeze at the Long
Island course-if you aren't too hot

Without fear of being called a die
hard, Leroy Campbell, former ma
tional half-mile champion, ex-
presses the belief that Gilbert
Dodds would beat Gunder Hagg at
1900 meters right now.
Gil Dodds, a dependable time
performer, never took his foot off
the gas when he did $50 defending
the national title the other after
noon. Although his flossiest time is
$3.50 only twice during his three
3:45.8 for 1900 meters, Hagg broke
month record breaking skein of last
summer, averaged 1854 in II starts
at the distance.
Leroy Campbell suspects that in
tackling Gil Dodds at 1900 meters,
even at his physical peak and in
cool Swedish weather, Gunder Hagg
would know he was In foot race.
