Herb McKenley Wins Twice
HARVARD STADIUM, MASS

HARVARD STADIUM, MASS, July ' - Turning in performances slower than either Jesse Owens record time or his own mark of last year, Herb McKenley, Illin- ois star and former Boston Col lege pivot-man, still came through to take a pair of wins in the track and field meet here Saturday af- ternoon.
 The lanky trackman begged the tap in the front position first in the 22o-yard cash (although there was considerable question as to whether the behind-the-record time of 21.3 seconds made it a dash at alD. This time was a full second slower than the little Ohioan, Owens, time for the same distance under the same conditions.
 In the 440-yard NEAAU run Herb had little trouble out distancing his opposition, although his time was two and half sec onds slower than the best he has turned in for this distance. The official mark for the event was 4S.7 seconds.
 Dave Neville, who has been burning up local tracks for these many moons, came through with a single win in the NEAAU 1OO- yard sprint. His time was not phe- nomenal, 10.8 seconds.
 Down in the schoolboy division a surprise win turned up. It was brought in by Alvin Dixon, of Sherwin School, who took second place in the 1O0-yard dash for junior high schoolcrs.

 Invaders punched most of them in the fifth inning, and took advant- age of walks and errors to get six runs. Dortch, hurling masterful ball, gave up only scattered bingles until the sixth. He was re- lieved when he ran into trouble in the late innings, but received credit for the victory. Owen Tay- Tor for the winners and Ryan for the losers featured at bat.
 Eagles 10, Sharon
 With his fast and curve balls baffiing opposing batsmen, Raleigh Priestor hurled brilliant ball to give the Providence Eagles a TO- 4 victory over the Sharon AC - Priestor whiffed 14 men during the contest played at Sharon, Mass. Holy Rosary g, Onset
 It was their second invasion of the Cape in week, and again the Holy Rosary team came away the victors. Fresh from an 11-5 win over Orleans the Fox Pointers de- feated the American Portuguese Association 9-2 at Onset Recrea- tion Field. Billy Pima, out of the lineup since the start of the sea- son, went the route for the win ners, and was never in trouble. The local boys were puzzled for three innings by the nothing baIT'' of Lopes, the losing pitcher, but from that frame on spread their tallies, scoring in nearly every inning with Frankie Jackson and Nanny Rodericks sparkling the att tack with timely hits.
 In Sundays games Ray Ed munds gave up only 8 hits and Frankie Jackson and Newell Rob- erts hit home runs as the Holy Rosary defeated the U. s. Rubber Company team 11-7 at Bristol.
 The Providence Invaders set down the Johnson Fire Depart ment S-4 at Johnson, behind the steady pitching of Varella, who gave up scattered hits in a game featured by a circuit smash by Dick Harris.

 In a return engagement staged at the Columbus Avenue Ballyard on Sunday afternoon, July ', the Wolverines evened the score with their Feiway rivals, by defeating the Back Bay Ball Club 1413, in a free-hitting, though sloppily played baseball game. Like the first game, the Wolverines took a two nothing lead in the initial canto, when lead-off man Eddie Burns hit a long fly to deep right center to garner a homerun inside the park. The next two batters went out in order, but slugging Gene Wood, drove far over the centerfield wall to ring up the secon drum. However, from then on, the lead see-sawed back and forth, but the Wolverines were not to be denied this victory and showed one-run margin, mainly through power, at the end of the contest.

ship battle between Ray Robinson and Marty Servo. The bout vii take place at the Yankee Stadium and should be a better attended match than the Louis Conn due since both Servo and Jacobs have been giving Sugar Ray the run around for some time. Many of the sports scribes have taken peri odic pokes at Uncle Mike for his indifference to Rays repeated re- quests for a crack at the crown and a lot of public interest has been built up for this match.
 It will be fifteen-round go and already there are predictions that Sugar Ray will dance out of his corner in one of the early rounds and plant a hay-maker on Servo's nose. Servo backed out of scarp with Robinson on one oc- l casion, claiming that he had g broken nose. Ray will bear that in mind when they meet, and will try to bust the proboscis again Some of the boys who get the dope straight from only they know where claim that Servo is SC afraid of Ray he gets goose pim- ples every time somebody says Jack Robinson fast. Anyhow he won't be the first frightened pug to face a dangerous opponent in the ring at Yankee Stadium, and he can study the current fight pie lures and learn how to run around the end, and duck through the middle.
 Uncl- Mike Has Plans For Tami While the heat and the custom CTS are raging at their highest, Mike Jacobs is wearing out his gold plated brains trying to figure out a way to talk Tami Mauriello into taking a 17h percent cut fo1 a September match with Joe Louis ! Tami, stubborn, determined fel- | low both in and out of the ring is holding out for a 20 percent take, the same slice that was given 1 Billy Conn for an evening of slow waltzing and whispered pleas Tami figures he will be taking the l same chance Conn took, and may l be more, for he isn't the kind ot fighter who runs away. Of course he has never fought Louis before and thus had no reason to run ! but as things stand now, he is en. titled to the same percentage thai
 Billy received.
 Tami is anxious for a shot al | the title, but the tip-off about how

If you are interested in fighting
the forces of physical deterioration.
in tapping a source OF energy. in
experiencing a new feeling of alive
ness and vibrance. in other words.
if you have made up your mind to
exercise. there are few things you
should remember.
In the first place. in order to de-
rive benefit from your exercise you
must do it every day. The value OF
a hit-and-miss program is doubtful.
You cannot improve muscle tone or
receive its attendant benefits unless
you go through your motions Tor
health and beauty daily.
Remember, too, that you should
always begin slowly and build up
gradually. Don't allow too much
enthusiasm to be your Waterloo or
follow the old tenet that IF little
bit is good for you a lot will be
better"
There are many mild exercises
which are splendid for the beginner
and every exercise should be done
slowly, with full consciousness of
the concentration and stretch OF
your muscles. You should do each
exercise only a few times at first
and increase this slowly. You
should never feel tired from your
exercise
II your gymnastics are to be gen.
eral rather than specialized. there
is nothing better than walking.
Many women are discouraged from
the daily walk because they think
of 1t as too time-consuming. This
need not be true. In fact, 1t Is prob
ably better for the average woman
to walk for only Is minutes twice
day to begin with, but when you
walk do so briskly and energetically
so that your breathing rate increases
and your blood is stirred up.
Good posture is. in itself, a fine
exercise. Your daily walks win be
of much more benefit If YOU hold
yourself well.
Every woman should take one or
two postural exercises each day.
The following one has been given be-
fore in this column, but 1t Is i'm
portant enough for a repeat: Stand
with your back toward the wall and
your feet about six inches from the
wall. Press your back against the
wall, especially the small of your
back. Knees are bent slightly, head
and shoulders and hips touch the
uall also Hold this posftion for
three minutes the first day and
gradually increase.
