son are invited and expected to be
present.
Under the direction of Mrs. Eli
zabeth Norman, recreation director,
Mrs. A. baltimore and the following
playground workers, Miss Lille B.
Walker, Mrs. Shenault, a regular
schedule of games and playground
activities have been made out, with
Miss Walker in charge of ring
plays, and Mrs. Shenault in charge
of folk dances.
Other games that will be played
are: horse shoe, checkers, dominoes
and Chinese checkers and the days
activities will end with contests
conducted by the supervisors.
A big feature of the days pro-
gram will be the soft ball game
between the Green Hornets and the
Smith Robertson team. Awards in
the various contests will be made
on the last night of the teen age
party to be given at the soldiers
center.
ALL CHILDREN ARE INVITED.

company their children if possible.
Because of rationing many of the
summer camps held annually are
out this year and because of this
fact, many children will have to go
thru the whole summer without

mainly because of that that The
Mississippi Enterprise hopes and
plans to make this years picnic big
ger and better than ever before.
In addition to all the above men
toned activities for the bigger and
better Mississippi Enterprise Kiddie
picnic, the Roger Brothers Carnival
will be on the grounds of the skat-
ing rink on Monday, with rides and
all the other attractions that goes
to make up this big carnival. Bring

enjoy the carnival All refresh
ments at picnic are free.

caused by disease germs being ac-

Armstrong refused to close for the

Perry yesterday aroused some

Liberty Athletic Club, but Garsh in
sists that the youngster will come
around in good shape.
"I'm surprised that a giant-killer
such as Armstrong would insist on

we'll stand by our agreement"

pitched to only % batters.
Working the first game of twin
bill against the Boston Braves at
Crosley Field, Walters retired the
first % men to face him. Then,
with two cut in the eighth, Connie
Ryan, Braves second sacker, sin
gled over third base. He was the

Although still imbedded rather
firmly in the American Association

string of IA consecutive defeats.
Thirty y-four-year old Lefty Bob
Logan turned the trick yesterday in
the first game of a double-beader,
holding Kansas City to five hits for
a 81 triumph. Then the Indians,
having tasted victory the first time
since April % when Logan whipped
Toledo, went on to win the night

faced only 20 batters.
Pittsburgh climbed into the Ma

hits In defeating Bill Voiselle In
the opener.
Athletics Snatch Pair.
Connie Mack's Philadelphia Ath-
letics took both ends of their twin

Garrison's fifth hit of the game won
the opener, while frankie Hayes
two-run homer won the nightcar
for Luman Harris. The double win
put the AS back in the first divi-

brought on Candini. A fly hy Pinch
batter Myril Hoag score one run
then things went haywire for Can

Haywire Hurting Hurts.
John Dickshot, another pinch
batter, walked on four pitches, and
a pass to Wally Moses forced across
the tying run. Lefebvre then took
over and was hit by Thurman
Tucker for single that pushed
over two more tallies. Three Of the
runs were charged against Wynn,
making him the loser.
Grove left after seven innings, so
Gordon Maltzberger, who pitched
the eighth, got credit for the VIC
tory. It was the fourth of the sea-
son for the hurler who has yet to
start game.
Adding insult to injury, the White
Sox pitched Joe Haynes in the
ninth. This son-in-law of Clark
Griffith, Washington club president

MoIIis 10 Give Risinu
Graziano Genuine
Test as S|ugger

When Rocky Graziano. welter-
weight sensation of the indoor sea-
son here, meets veteran Tommy
Mollis in bout at Griffith Stadium
on May 20, ringsiders will find out
If Graziano is the future king of
the welter world he appears to be
or just another crowd pleasing
brawler with a Sunday punch.
Graziano has never met the Mollis
type. The Rock has 18 KOS to his
credit, has knocked down every op-
ponent he has faced and has won
% out of 20, but up to Mollis he's
been in there mostly against wild
slam-bang artists who couldn't get
out of the way of that dynamite
overland right of Rocky.
Mollis has seen the Grazianos
come and go and there are few of
them he hasn't tested. Red Doty,
a "slugging fool" if there ever was
one, received very expensive box
ing lesson from Prof. Mollis. Red
got to the Old Master from Balti-
more only once in their three fights
and that when Tommy had an off
night. In their last fight here
Old Tom cleanly outboxed and out
fought the red-haired Irishman in
10 of the best rounds of fighting
seen locally in some time. Tom
likely can handle the street-fighter
style of Graziano but he might
need everything in the book to do it.
Graziano slapped down Bobby
Brown in five rounds at Uncle Joe's
and the crowd said they'd never seen
anything like it until he came back
to Washington and smashed up
luckless Freddie Graham in the
third.
The Rock came up the hard way
in fast company and some experts
think he's ready for the big time.
Tommy Mollis will be the real test

Shorter Route Seen
Disadvantage for
Preakness King
BY DONALD SANDERS,

BALTIMORE, May 15.-Pensive
the ninth horse in turf history to
win both the Kentucky Derby and
Preakness, today was prepared to
leave for Belmont Park to point
for the Belmont Stakes, third leg
of the triple crown, possibly by way
Of the Withers.
Trainer Ben Jones, who preceded
his Calumet Farm Stable to New
York, still had not decided whether
he would start the Preakness win
ner in the Withers, mile race, to be
contested this Saturday.
Among the 1901 persons who
saw Warren Wright's chestnut son
of Hyperion charge from behind to
win the richest of 54 Preakness run
nings there were many who doubt
ed that the colt would be at his best
over the shorter distance.
Pensive Late Starting.
For Pensive didn't really start to
run until the field of seven had
gone three-quarters of a mile, and
he still was in third place to Mrs.
Payne Whitney's Stir Up and
George D. Widener's Platter as they
turned for home.
Platter soon collared Stir Up and
then lugged in toward the rail as
little Conn McCreary and Pensive
came winging by at the sixteenth
pole to earn a three-quarter-length
victory and the winners check of
l$60,O75. He ran the mile and three
|sixteenths in 1:59b.
Pensive thus boosted his earnings
for 1914 to $139,475 and won the
seventh Maryland stake triumph for
Wright's Calumet horses. The $142,-
705 which the Calumet color bearers
picked up at Pimlico, together with
their winnings in Florida and Pen
sive's Derby check, ran the total
for the young season to $250,840-
only some $4,000 short of their
figure last year, when they topped
the country.
Stars off for Belmont.
All this led Wright to remark cau-
tiously after the Preakness, "It's
been a nice spring."
Stir Up, third in both Derby and
Preakness, left yesterday for Bel
mont, as did Platter. Pensive will
be shipped tonight.
Saturdays Pinlico crowd, which
made Pensive a $5.30-fo -for-$2 favorite,
sent record Maryland wagering
total through the mutuel windows,
betting $1,758,588 on the eight races
and the daily double. The Freak
ness handle was 1892 2,108, also q
Maryland record for one race.
The days handle boosted the
total for the 28-day meeting to
$25, ,127,777, daily average of
1897 ,420, also a record. The States
Golfers thus were enriched by $780,

ahead to a tough fight.
Moore explains his insistence on
Perry's making weight with: "Henry's
had a lot of trouble with young fel-
lows in his time, and we realize
this may be one of his tough fights.
Armstrong will be giving away
weight as it is, and we don't want
strong kid like Perry coming in
with topheavy advantage"

workout on Wednesday, and will
buckle down to hard training at
