The contest next Friday night, will be the first public boxing exhibit giv en at Decatur for many years and n large turnout is anticipated from Adams county and from neighboring localities. Two Decatur fighters, Paul Conrad and Ed Albberding. are on the pro gram and both boys have many local followers who believe they will become known in the fight circles of the mid diewest. In the eight round windup exhibit. Jackie Diehm. Fort Wayne, and Everett Miller, of Marion, will be the contenders, entering the ring at 13.3 pounds.

The scrap is scheduled for eight rounds, but Isoth fighters have reputtaions of ending their exhbi tain a few rounds.

SPEAKING OF BY FRANK GETTY

"Jolly Boating Weather” An untold amount of money again I has been tossed away by the major; league ball clubs due to Inclement |> weather. Postponements have been] numerous, what with rain and cold and wet grounds in the East. The western . lubs were somewhat more fortunate, i but Eastern owners are nursing head-, aches and consulting the schedule re-| garding the forthcoming double-head-ers. • In Boston, Philadelphia. New York and Brooklyn, April Showers washed away the chances of games which would have brought thousands of dollars into the coffers of baseball. Before next season, the owners and league presidents aie certain to get together to discuss the difficulty, and it may be that a radical revision o the playing schedule for 1930 wid be in order. Heydler’s View President John A. Heydler of the; National League is a conservative in most matters pertaining to the national pastime. It is true that he advanced a suggestion for a ten man which was one of the laughs of the Hot Ptove League season, but it is unlikeiy that he will support a proposal I. i postpone the opening of the regular playing season until May-1. "We discussed some such proposition at length last year,” said Heydler recently. “It was proposed to postpone the opening of the season a week i but from what the weather has been , this spring it is apparent that that , would have done nu good. “Some baseball meq, thought that the first fortnight’s games might be played in the south, but that is obviously impractical when it is considered that the fans of each city are entitled to see each team play 77 home 1 games.. “Spring weather is a hazard, and we baseball men must face it. Good and bad weather run in cycles. Everyj seven years is a change.” The Southerners’ Hadnicap Someone has pointed out tirrrt ball

D.H.S.INTRACK MEET SATURDAY t : Coach Heth Curtis stated today that j j he would take a squad of twelve men J to Garrett. Saturday, to iepresent De J catur high school in the annual North eastern Indiana conference track and ] field meet. Nine of the eleven schools ' in the conference will participate in the meet. Columbia City and Angola 1 the other two schools, do not have track teams. Those taking part will be ’ Decatur, Bluffton, Kendallville. Au- ’ burn. Huntington, Gant-Il and the three Fort Wayne schools. Central of Fort Wayne, won the meet last spring, and South Side of 1 1 that city, was second. Atibntn and Bluffton loom as strong barriers in - the path of the Fort Wayne schools this spiing. ~ Decatur's hopes lie mainly in the i peiformance of Captain Carl Geiber. I He has a good chance to win points in i the hurdle laces ami possibly the 440yard dash. Decatur’s sophomore run- . nets might win some places in the dis- . ( tance runs, also.

| players recruited to the majors from I outhern leagues are severly handicapped by being called upon to open the season during the cold weather customarily prevailing in the north I April. Any club which has a number |uf southern recruits usually hears ' numerous complaints to this effect. It will be fond, however, by studying the records, that the winning and losing of ball games in the spting cannot be attributed directly to the weather When the umpires direct that the game go on, one side has just as much chances as the other, if it has good players, regardless of their home towns. Vance vs. Hoyt Speaking of early season winners, the East has two who are consistent, Waite Hoyt, the Yankee mortician, and Dazzy Vance, blonde Brooklyn bear cat. At the moment, the fans of Greater New York are in the throes of a heated agrument as to which of these sterling tight handers is the greater pitcher. Hoyt's supporters point to his won and lost record, While those who back the Dazzler speak of strike-outs and earned runs. Certainly it is easier for Waite Hoyt to win ball games, with the Yankees to help him, than it is for Vance. The latter won the first game of the ; year for his club last month after the i Dodgers had tossed away their first ' five starts. Brooklyn needed twelve hits to beat the Boston Braves 3 to 2 in 11 innings, Vance allowing only six. In view of the fact that Vance has labored long years with a second division club, going light on winning I and hanging up new pitching records now and then, while Hoyt has had the support of “Murderers' ' Row" during his best se.asons, it is probably only fair lo award Dazzy the palm. But Waite Hoyt still is just about as fine a right handed pitcher as baseball has known in a decade.

CON MEN AWAIT OPPORTUNITY TO ENRAP TOURIST And Surete G ene r a I Is Equally Prepared To Capture Swindlers By N. Reynolds Packard (United Press Staff Cot respondent 1 Paris, May 3-(UP) - With the coming of the trans-Atlantic tourist season an indicate organization to trap the swindlers, tricksters, confidence-men psuedo-guides and all those countless types of nnscrupious gentry who prey upon licit American visitors is being perfected by the Surete Genera.-— the Scotland Yard of France. Each summer the Rosary trick, the stmy of donations fm the poor, hard luck tales and light-fingered magic get their victims. It is the vigilance of the Surete General with all its expert criminologists ami experienced detectives that offers protection to the tourists and prevents the wits of professional parasites from being often successful. Recently, the American love of antiques has formed the basis of a new kind of ruse. A well-dressed man or woman may be seen walking down one I of the most important boulevards of I’aris with a porcelain figure exposed in a poorly wrapped package, followed by tw ((accomplices. As the person eariying the bundle passes a wealthy] American, the two accomplices remark] what an amazing art object of the Louis XV period, adding that it must be of the greatest value. The interest ] of the American is thus aroused and, when the American and the peddler] find themselves together conversation' easily follows. Wrthless Trifle In the course of their talk, the elegantly dressed peddlar explain that he is taking the porcelain to the home of a friend who is buying it for many thousands of franks, but on credit and he leally would like.to have cash. In tact, he would consider a great deal less as he wants to leave for Brussels or elsewhere that night. Having gained the confidence of the prospective victim he invites him to a near by case and there the sale may be affected. A fake expert on art may~even be called upon to appraise it’. value. But the buyer sooner or later finds to his chagrin that he has bought a worthless tiifle. The same trick is modified somewhat but applied with equal dexterity in jewels. The interest of a tourist may be aroused by causing a diamond ring to drop on the ground at his feet by the swift movement of pulling a handkerchief from a pocket. The denouement is then about the same as in the case of the antique. In previous summers, some Americans have found it costly to imbibe too freely while doing the bright lights of Montmaitie. They have discovered to their financial lass that the caressing hands of winsome dancing girls do sometime.- wander to the nest of the American eagle—the wallet. ‘ Guides" to Fleecing All the men who glibly otter themselves as guides or who have photographis postcards for sale are not always found to be exactly what they claim. Interspersed among the genuine guides are those who attempt, with pleasures, to seduce tourists to houses where they can be readilyfleeced. In these latter eases, the Surete General is frequently confronted with a dificult problem. It is the lack of cooperation on the part of the victims themselves. They are loathe to make any charges, fearing the unpleasant publicity which might ensue. Consequently the detectives guarding against such incidents are compelled to work almost in the dark, but their knowledge of the underworld and the faces of such criminals often result in arrests. A more innocuous form of nuisance with which the American tourist must contend is the hardtack taie. As he

The i result of the union is a radio installed , in an automobile* which can be op- , erated with perfect clarity in a car travellin.” at the rate of «() miles an hour or more. A banquet at which Mayor James J. Walker acted as master of ceremonies. attended by 400 leaders of the automobile, radio and financial worlds was the occasion of the unveiling of the new invention. The lights in the banquet hall blacked out, the music of Paul Whiteman ami his boys .was silenced, the cut tains fell away reveiling eight leading makes of automobiles mounted on pede stals around the banquet hall all equipped with radios .and all receiving the broadcast from one station. From the eight loud speakers in the cars, the music came as clear and in even greater volume than the wedding march which Whiteman had played for the auto-radio mating.
