TO OCCUIUIED. NOBE'FUNK me a licking, which is exactly what he did and quite consummately. He took two straight from me, and then teamed up with Harriet to administer a licking to Les Perry and me and later, teamed up with Paul Garrett to repeat the dose. Of course, we are not going to protest Doc's victories, but in self defense, it must be said he played his own rules and took advantage of our Ignorance to further his own malicious ends but there'll come a day yessir there'll come a day. MIDGET RACING BERT BERTOLINI'S midget cars get their second shot of the season at the Maple Grove Speedway in Lancaster tonight when some twenty odd 10 3 5 13 51 6co by innlim: that my bragging as a croquet player 1b over I have met my Waterloo you're right Doc Phillips did the trick and to add to the Ignominy, right in my own back yard.

He had the gall to call me on the phone, ascertain the residence and invite himself out to give Nobe Frank drivers do their stuff behind the wheels of the aborted variety. The drivers include that popular dare devil, Fred Wlnnal who has recently succumbed to the sirens, singing the praises of the midgets and has gone for the little stuff in a big way. Time trials are slated for 7.40, with the two hour program getting under way at 6.45. IS "SPEED BOAT DAT" THERF is going to be another 'Speed Boat Day" on the river on August 23. The first one several weeks ago met with such approval it was decided to crowd in another before Old Man River lies down for the fall sleep.

It Is sponsored by the Harrlsburg Motor Boat Assocla tin. Ten exciting features are on the program, starting at 1.30. One particular feature thai should put them on their collective ears is a contest between a canoeist and an angler, in which the angler will attempt to land the canoe as he would play a large fish. It all comes down to a matter of endurance on the part of the canoeist and skill from the angler. There will also be a canoe tilting contest of ten canoes.

Something that has never been presented in Harrisburg before will be a race between a man on water skiis and another on an aquaplane. Those two battlers, Goodhart and Dickel, will renew their feud in the Class race while Wagner and Fendrich will be fighting for top honors In the special runabout race. Entries have been received from many out of town pilots for the races and other events. Many prizes have been donated by Harrlsburg merchants. After the races a luncheon and refreshments will be served to the participants.

An adequate sound system will be installed for the convenience of the fans. It looks like a gala day for the water dogs, and here's hoping that particular Sabbath leaves us free to enjoy a mighty promising water show. BABBIT'S PLAN RABBIT MARANVILLE has an idea worth money to all baseball magnates if they will follow his plan. Rabbit would have the American ana national employ eignt iormer major leaguers to tour tne minors and assist in teaching the game's fundamentals. His suggestion was timed to conform with statements by big league scouts that the ivory crop in the minors this season is the poorest in years.

The Rabbit, man ager of Mmira's Y. P. League club, said have seen so many mis takes in our league you'd be surprised at the little knowledge the young fellows possess." Rabbit's suggestion is sound and perhaps some day the majors will realize the value of it. WRONG AGAIN F' WILL soon be time for another one of our regular retractions. At the beginning of the baseball season, we thought the Detroit Tigers were good enough to cop again in the American League, and, just to be different, picked the Giants in the National circuit.

Now see where the two entries are. But if we couldn't be wrong, we wouldn't want to be right. There is so much fun in heaping! down scorn upon your weighted brow.

JARRETT CASE GOES TO COURT Husband Fails to Get in Touch With At7 Bnmdage Berlin, Aug. 8, jP The Beanor Holm Jarrett oass may be closed as far as tha American Olympic committee is concerned, but the band leader husband of the swimming star says he Intends to take legal action against the Balked In his efforts for a conference with Chairman Avery Brun dage on his wife's dismissal from the Olympic team for drinking and violating training rules, Arthur Jarrett announced he would take "the proper steps" on returning to New York. In a statement last night, after he was informed by Bmndage there was nothing further to add in the case, Jarrett announced his plans, "first to obtain the facts about the case, which the American Olympic committee apparently tried to conceal, and second to get redress for damages done to my wife's reputation." Declaring Bmndage used highhanded methods in the situation, Jarrett said he was particularly incensed at the committee head's refusal to "sit down and have a quiet chat about the whole case." Ii Cut Off He talked with Bmndage on the phone, however, and learned only that there was not a chance of Eleanor's regaining her place on the American women's swimming team.

"The least I could expect," Jar rett said, "would be to get the full facts and any Information to which I think I'm entitled, after making a soou mne trip. Pointing to Brundage's announcement of his wife's dismissal on the arrival of the team in Germany, Jarrett added: "Brundage's statements referred to medical reports or examinations. I'd like to know about them, but he told me none existed." Although he promised a "showdown" on his return to the United States, and has already consulted attorneys, Jarrett did not Indicate definitely what form of legal action he would take. It is known, however, that the Olympic committee considered possible legal repercussions when it dropped Mrs. Jarrett from the team.

Earle Meadows (right), the new Olympic pole vaulting champion, and Bill Sefton, who finished fourth in the vault yesterday.

These two University of Southern California athletes, 1935 co champions and co record holders at 14 feet, IS inches, could beat everybody else, but couldn't beat each other until yesterday, when Meadows slipped over the bar at a height of 14 feet, 2 and 15 16 inches.

AMERICANS LEADING AFTER QUALIFYING IN CRUCIAL TESTS By ALAN GOULD Berlin, Aug. 6, (JP) Nine Americans competing in the Olympic 400 meter run, Javelin throw and running hop, step and jump events passed the first qualifying tests on this cold, cheerless morning before 60,000 well bundled spectators. Archie Williams of Oakland, jimmy Lu Valle of Los 'Angeles and Harold Sraallwood of Ventura, the latter apparently recovered from a shipboard attack of appendicitis, captured three of the eight 400 meter heats.

The trio qualified for the semifinals to be run this afternoon. The British trio of William Roberts, Godfrey Rampllng and Arthur Brown, looked like the runners the Americans must beat If they are to be successful in stretching their streak of flat race triumphs started by Jesse Owens' victories the 100 and 300 meter sprints. Roberts was clocked in 46.1 seconds, but Brown is the British favorite. Britain Last Chance Since Stanley Wooderson's staggering failure in yesterday's 1500 meter trials, the final of which features this afternoon's program. Great Britain's last chance for a flat racing gold medal apparently rested in the 400.

All of Uncle Sam's javelin throwers, Lee Bartlett of Union City, Alton Terry of Brady, Texas, and Malcolm Metcalf of Los Angeles, exceeded the specified qualifying requirement of 60 meters, 196 feet 104 Inches. However. Mattl Jarvinen, Finland's defending champion and Olympic and world record holder, tossed the spear 67 meters, 219 feet tf 27 33 Inches on his first attempt. The American hop, step and jumping trio which survived the preliminaries is composed of Roland Romero of Welsh, Billy Brown, 16 year old Baker, schoolboy, and Dudley O. Wilkin of Crowley, La.

Japs Favorites Favorites In this event, however, are the Japanese, Masao Haraaa, Kenklchl Oshlma and Naoto Tali ma, as owell as Australia's John Patrick Metcalfe and Basil WUliams, University of California Negro, captured the fifth of eight heats easily in 49.1 seconds with Juan Carlos Anderson of Argen Tf tina running a good second, less than a meter behind. Lee Bartlett of Union City, a three time and Alton Terry of Brady, Texas, passed the first javelin qualifying tests, exceeding the specified 60 meters, 196 feet 10 li inches. Mattl Jarvinen, Finland's Olympic 'champion and' Olympic and world record holder at 338 feet 7 inches and 351 feet 6 inches, respectively, heaved the spear approximately 67 meters, 219 feet 9 37 32 inches on his first throw in defense of his title. 1 WEST SHORE LEAGUE LMIfll ib a i Watone.Sb 1120 Bvlnger.c Ludwtg.lb Sheeley.cf.

Claims of the National Association of Audubon Societies drought in mid western states has so imperilled North America's wild duck supply that President Roosevelt should prohibit all duck hunting this fall are based on "false It is charged today by John O. Huntington, vice president of the More Game Birds Foundation. "The drought In the Dakotas and also in southern parts of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Monitoba which the association neglects to consider could not affect more than eight per cent, of the total duck population in this vast prairie nesting region," Mr. Huntington declares. "Over ninety per cent, of the wild duck crop in this region comes from areas unaffected by drought, ex tending north through the Cana dian provinces to Resolution, North west Territories.

Reports received by the Foundation from qualified Canadian observers in un spoiled country, and Just confirmed by field men of the United States Biological Survey, indicate a uni form increase In the wild duck crop this year. "Admittedly drought has again taken a toll of this year's duck hatch in North and South Dakota, but John H. Baker, spokesman for the Audubon Association, adroitly chooses to disregard the substantial increase in the number of ducks hatched this spring throughout the entire prairie region. "As a result of this increased hatch, and despite the drought, Game and Fish Commissioner Arthur I. Peterson, of North Dakota, in a telegraphic report to the Foundation, estimates the present wild duck population of his state as 3,358,420.

This is almost double that of 1935. The South Dakota Game and Fish Department reports the present supply to be the same as last year. "The absurdity of advocating a closed season on waterfowl because of the 1934 drought would be humorous, were it not for the tragic effect success of such a drive would have upon thousands of families." CITY LEAGUE MEETING The City Baseball League will sponsor Rosenberger Day next Monday evening, when a game will be played between the North End and Shade clubs on the Twenty First and Berryhlll streets field. The tilt will not be a league game, however. The game will be played as a tribute and benefit for Chick Rosenberger, former manager and player of the old Belmont team.

Rosenberger was active in sports circles in this vicinity about a half decade or more ago until injured fighting a local fire. HELEN STEPHENS ISREALGIRL Polish Writer Sore, Starts Ugly Rumors; Mother's Opinion Warsaw, Aug. 6. A charge that Helen Stephens, American girl sprinter, is really a man, was made yesterday by the special correspondent of the Polish newspaper Hurler Poranny, The correspondent Indignantly accused the United States Olympic committee of knowingly permitting a man to run in the woman's 100 meter race at Berlinthe race in which Miss Stephens, a Fulton, farm girl, set a new record and defeated Poland's star, Stella Walsh. The Polish writer's outburst for which he offered no proof was the latest development of a rivalry between Stella Walsh and Miss Stephens which started In March when the American girl beat the hitherto undefeated Polish runner at St.

Louis. Examination A proposal that all women entered in Olympic games be subject to an examination to determine their sex was advanced last week by Avery Bmndage, president of the American Olympic Committee. Of the two "girls" who won women's athletic events and later became men, one was the' Polish girl Zdenks Koubkova, who starred in women's games in London in 1934. Later, she was examined by 'doctors and told she had the choice of either sex. Deciding to become a man, she underwent an operation in 1935 and now is listed as Zdenka Koubka, male.

The other girl athlete who later became a man competed for England as Miss Mary Edith Louise Weston. She held the women's shot put title for six years. i Early this year she underwent an operation and became "Mr. Mark Weston" with a doctor's certificate to show "Mark Weston Is a male and should continue through life as such." Official! Say Tea Berlin. Aua.

6. (Havas). Oharses printed In a Polish newspaper that Helen Stephens, American Olympic and world record sprinter, is rsallv a man brought the disclosure here today that German Olympic officials had ascertained her true sex before admitting her to participa tion in the 1936 games. Mother Knows Fulton, Aug. fl "Helen is absolutely a girl," said the Olympic runner's mother by telephone from the Stephens farm today.

had better not say what I think of any one who would charge that she is anything else," Mrs. Stephens added. "No one else in all Helen's life has ever raised such a question, Helen leads a normal girls social life. She enjoys dancing and at tends7 dances regularly at college." GAME CANCELLED Due to the funeral of Scott A. Kendall, father of two itar players of the Harrlsburg Senators baseball team, the West End Twilight League game scheduled for tomorrow afternoon between the Senators and West End will not be played.
