Athletics Lose Money Huntington, May 12— Huntingtons high school financial statement for the athletic fund to date shows a net deficit of $634. Os this amount more than SSOO was left over from previous years, some debts extending to IS2I. The three benefit performances held by the high school faculty organization made a net profit of $216.44 reducing the deficit to $634.35 from well over SBOO. Football showed the biggest loss for the season, $428.19. Baseball cost the high school $115.10 and track SB6 - 42. All but $283.61 of last year’s debt has been paid off. Basketball this year made a net pro- ■ fit of $378.97. This includes the faculty shows. If Huntington had received the sectional basketball tournament it is probable that tlrere would have been a slight profit as far as this years atheletic fund statement is concerned. — Helen Wills Looks Good • New York, May 12—(UP)—Helen Wills shows better form and more versatility now than ever before, New York tennis experts believed after watching the former National champion play two practice sets against Winter Griffin yesterday.

FANS ARRIVING FOR DERBY RACE Crowd Beginning To Arrive In Louisville For Annual Turf Classic By Clark B. Kelsey (U. P. Staff Correspondent) Louisville, Ky., May 12 — (UP) — Special trains with the beauty and power of the country represented in the passenger lists began arriving in Louisville today as evidence of the universal movement of race lovers toward their Zion. Behind the strings of green pulitnans came many of the lesser gentry of the sporting world, clutching the brake beams of freight cars. Special staffs of the trainers had already brought most of their three-year-old charges through to Louisville. The crowd around the lobbies of the hotels, near the churchhill down track and on the streets was growing hourly. The fifty-third renewal of the KenDerby Saturday will be a record event ami Kentucky hospitality will be taxed to the utmost. o— — Earl Cooper Is Real Racing xMagnate Now Indianapolis, Ind., May 12. - — Earl Cooper, the retired racing veteran who came back to the track with more vim than any comeback in sports in many a year, branches out for the Fifteenth International 500-mile race to be held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Monday, May 30, as a real racing magnate. He nominates four front wheel automobiles for the contest, built in a local factory during the long, dreary months of winter and one of which is a healthy hangover from last year’s contest. Into the cars are built Cooper’s years of experience on the racing courses: Changes he Has made from conventional design are the result of mistakes on cars he has driven To these many years. He is confident he sees the rainbow at the end of the race for his team of cars. An unusual driver. Cooper who long since has been in the veteran class, has proven that he can be as youthfully flexible in bending turns as any of the youngsters who still have snake oil in their joints. Age has brought increased judgment in his speeding enterprise but it ...tainly has in no way dulled the daring for which he always has been noted. He will speed with the best of the younger generation and to top his daring he has the edge on judgment and experience. His four car team will be an important factor In the coming Indianapolis event for he has surrounded himself with a camp of experienced drivers and mechanics who have been trained to the sympathetic rythm of speed and they all are seasoned in their particular line. oPortland High School Athletic Coach Resigns Portland, May 12—It is understood that Coach Harold Powell of the Portland high school has tendered his resignation and is to be succeeded by Kenneth Farris, Portland young mart who has been attending Earlham College, where he will receive his A.

ELECTROCUTION EASIEST OF ALL DEATHS ' DECLARES WARDEN OF OHIO PENITENTIARY

Columbus, ()., May 12 - (United. Ptess) —No on<’ wants to die in the electric chair, yet II is the easlset of all deaths, according to Warden P. E. Thomas of Ohio Penitentiary. Warden Thomas, who has made a careful study of the subject, recommends the eleellic chair as far superior to other forms of violent death, and he is willing to recommend it in in preference to death by asphyxation, drowning, carbolic acid, n leap from a tall building or even by a shot from a pistol. "A current of 1959 volts is applied at the start’’, he said In extolling the merits of the chair. "Almost instantaneously — in less than l-240th of a second, according to syllographlc tests- heart action stops. "It takes 24 times as long as that, 1-0 of a second, before the sensation made by the prick of a needle at the base of the skull, is recorded by the brain." Thomas went on to explain the effects of the charge carried by the (hair which if left on long enough, would cremate the body of the victim. ."While the current is on the heart remains still. When It is turned off. the heart frequently commences to beat, although the man in the chair is not breathing. The man is dead. The heart has no life-sustaining qualities. Its- heat cannot be accelerated nor strengthened. “As long as the voltage passes through the body the respiratory organs are paralyzed. This causes the air to be forced from the lungs. At the same time the blood corpuscles disintergrate. “Either of these, the paralysis of the lungs or the disintegration of the blood corpuscles, is of itself fatal. “Blood of an electrocuted person does not congeal. The shattered corpuscles can never be put together again and the idea that an electrocuted person may be revived is false." The warden declared that it is easier to electrocute a healthy man than a
