The Vows have the works
this week, high single, high
three and four points from the
Five Stars. Mile Jones of that
team holds high individual single

other four members also deserve
honorable mention, Harriet John
son, Tene Ashby, Norma Lynch
and Bea Simkins.
The Flashes took all four points
from those retriever Falcons and
if it's news" when Bea Virgins
(Flashes) breaks record it's also
'newsie" when she's low man on
the team. 1t just shows-to-go-ya
that II happens to the best. ALI
five Of the "Pins" were in rare
form so no matter what stunts
the Eaglettes tried they were
apinned" under for four points.
If you've never seen a ey-
clone given the bird you should
have witnessed the match be-
tween the Ravens and Cyclones.
The Ravens ran riot, especially
Mary Wingheld who led her team
in for a four point win with a
score of 282 for three strings.
1t is hard to determine If the
Arrows rolled their three point
win against the Speedsters or
yelled it. A livlier, noisier match
is not yet on record. The Zeph-
ers are team well worth keep
ing your eyes on. They're one of
those "pluggers that wend their
way to the top before you know
it. Doris Washington is one Of
those promising spares that does
MT stay on te side lines long.
Some team is going to snap her
up as a permanent member.
At long last, things are looking
up for Captain Winnie Allen Of
the Arrows when she rolled 273
for three strings this week. EN-
ilie Smith Of the Five Stars and
Doris Trapp of the Clippers de-
serve mention for their scores Of
270 and 27l for three this week.

Woman s Skull
Added to Links
Of Missing Men
AP Newsfeatures

PRETORIA, South Africa -
DR.. Robert Broom, anthropologist
and palaentologist, of the Trans
vail Museum, Pretoria, believes a
skull he found at Sterkfontein will
show more definitely than ever
that man is closely related to the
ape. He says it is the best-preserved
skull of the Freeman period ever
found.
DR.. Broom has removed from
the skull part of the rock in which
it was imbedded. He says it is that
of female and is about the same
age as the skull of the Sterkfontein
Man.
The new skull, says DIR. Broom,
Is much more valuable than the
original since it is all in one piece.
The skull of the Sterkfontein Man
had to be pieced together.
Unfortunately, the bone is very
rotten and the stone in which it is
embedded is very hard.
Enough of the face has been
cleared" he said, "to show that it
is remarkably human, apart from
the small brain. The eyes are large
and rounded and the eyebrows wide
and overhanging. The cheeks are
wide and the front of the jaw pro-
jects, but not more than in some
human beings. ..r
"The brain is small and will pro.
badly not be bigger than 400 cubic
centimeters. In structure there are
a number of typically human ant
non-anthropoid characteristics.
Though the teeth are lost, tn
sockets, by human standards, show
with hardly doubt, that it is tn
skull of woman perhaps SO or 6
years of age"

terested in a late summer bout with
the winner of the 10-round battle
between Smuggy Hursey and Danny
Kapilow at Griffith Stadium or
August IL.
Perry, whose bout with Henry
Armstrong here a few years age
drew a gross gate Of $64 900, plans
two out-of-town fights, one in New
ark, before returning here, but Man
ager Harry Garsh emphasizes that
Perry would welcome a battle with
the Hursey-Kapilow winner before
the close Of the outdoor season.
Perry was knocked out by Kapilow
in three rounds here q year ago, but
the New York Jewish welterweight
unhesitatingly lists Aaron among
the most dangerous punchers he has
faced. Perry closed Hursey's left
eye in the first round Of their meet
ing here last May and staggered him
several times during the first two
rounds before running out Of gas,
and dropping the decision.
Garsh says the widespread in

BY the kssoeiafsd Press

BOSTON, July s0.-Ragsrto-riches
stymie-he was claimed for $500
as tuvenile-will take his first shot
at the 100000 prize money mark
today in the $4,000 Massachu-
sets Handicap at Suffolk Downs, a
strip known as the graveyard Of
champions.
Mrs. Ethel D. Jacobs fabulous e.
year-old chestnut stretch runner
has earned the turf's record of
$678,510 in his prior 106 starts and
he will be an odds-on favorite to
out-drive six rivals for the Massa-

mile test.
Stymie's opposition Is far below
the topflight grade, but in the past
such stars as Discovery, War
Admiral, Challendon, -Four Freedoms
and Gallerette have bowed to COM
parative unknowns here while at
their peaks.
Top-weighted at 1913 pounds,
Stymie, who regained the all-time
top earning record from Assault in
the $780, 900 Gold Cup at Belmont,
will give II each to his two more
threatening rivals, William Helis'
strong and speedy mare Elpis and
Mrs. E. H. Augustus Blue Yonder.
The Helis lady will be running on
her favorite track, for she has won
the Hannah Dustin three years in
a row here, and her trainer, Ed
Lucas, appears high" on her
chances.
We'll give stymie all he can
handle" Lucas predicted. "Elpis
likes the track and the distance and
he will have to be at his best to win"
