May IS— (U.R) -The luittesi American league pennant isce in years swung Into its secund month today witli only four smies separating the league-lead Big Philadelphia Athletics from the last-place Washington Senatdis. The National league finds the Pittsburgh Pirates out in front by a 3’aj game margin and labeled as "the team to beat." With a 10 day home stand against the weaker eastern clubs ahead of them, the Pirates are likely to entrench themselves deeper in first place. TUa second intersectional series Os the season opened today with the western chibs in the American league playing in the west for the next 10* days. In the first intersectional games the strength in the National league swung to the west and the power in the Amei ican league to the east. Looking down the American league standing w’e find the Boston Red Sox in fifth place but only two games back of the A's. — Last Time Tonight — ROBERT TAYLOR JEAN HARLOW “PERSONAL PROPERTY” ALSO—Cartoon and Ina Rae [ Hutton Musical. 10c-25c WED. & THURS. ♦ ♦ First Show Wednesday Night at 6:30.

FIRST RACE AT | WAYNE SUNDAY First Auto Races Os Season At Fort Wayne Next Sunday The Frst card of the season under the auspices of the Central Racing Association at Speedway north of the city, Sunday May 23, draws entries of best known dirt track pilots. Officials today forecast that one of the hardest fought races that ever competed here, with the leading drivers of the midwest, will be on hand for the six-event program calling for 100 laps of racing over the new asphalt track which has been built this season to eliminate all dust. The track has been rebuilt and the banks on each trun are now at a forty-five degree and an additional ten feet in height. Included in the starting field will be the association's leading drivers, point sharers in the early races held this season at other cities. Many of the drivers have raced here and are well known to the fans while others are promising new com-ns who hope to follow the path blazed over the dirt speedway to high glory. Among the leading drivers is Red Cambell from Indianapolis, last , year's dirt track champion, Les Adair from Dayton, the runner-up Evert Saylor, Beckett and Chas. Engles in the Vance Special, the car that holds the present track record of 25.76 for the 5-8 mile oval Al Hammon and Gale Lower from Fort Wayne. These are just a few of the score of drivers who will set i the fast pace in the six-event program. Time trials are called at 12:00 o’clock the day of the race with the first event at 3:00 o'clock E. S. T. o | Today’s Sport Parade | (By Hsnry McLemore) New York, May 18.—<U.R>—Out of the night that was fifty below a golden pigeon appeared, circled twice in precise squares, and then I shrilled that the population of Liberia was run little deer, run little deer, and daisies never tell. That's insane stuff, you say.] You're right—it is. And I mean it to be because the subject of to-' day's essay makes just as little sense, adds up just as poorly and I thought I needed a little practice in goofiness before tackling it. j I refer to the mad business of Max Schmeling setting up a training] camp in the wilds of upper NewYork state and seriously going about preparations for a fight that won’t come off. As I get the story—and I had the family psychiatrist listen in on another wire as a check—Schmeling is in Speculator. N. Y., boxing six or seven rounds a day with sparring partners, galloping miles over the roads, assaulting oaks and elms with an axe, and in general leading the life of a muscular thoreau to ready himself for Jimmy Braddock on the night of June third. Schmeling knows as well as the rest of us that there isn’t a chance of his fighting Braddock on June third. He knows that Braddock at ; that time will be in the midwest! preparing for Joe Louis, and that Madison Square Garden bowl will | be as dark as midnight in a coal! pile. Yet, he is in Speculator' working as industriously as ever' he did in his life. As soon as my strait jacket comes back from the tailors I plan to make a trip to Speculator and see if I can ferret out the reason for this mad behavior on the part of the usually stolid teuton. It can’t be that Schmeling is going through all this riganiarole purely for the sake of making a grand gesture. This sort of gesture costs money—plenty of money—and the “watchdog of the Rhine", as Schmeling's friends never call him, is not one to squander money. It can’t be that Joe Jacobs, manager of Schmeling, is gesture-ob-sessed, either. Because brother

Joseph already has too many obsessions to have any room left for new ones. Joseph wouldn’t mind the money — because he is probably the quickest man with a dol-' lar in these parts—but when he i spends his money he wants more of a play for it than you can get in the rural surrounding of a training camp. I The garden’s attitude is even more baffling. Its directors have! been trying to run boxing on a I * closed purse scale for years, yet] this “phantom" fight finds them I perfectly willing to spend money ] for nothing. Part of the training ] I camp expense is theirs. They are ’ 1 sending a salaried publicity man to | I Speculator in the middle of the I week. They have ordered the tic- ] kets for the fight. anO those thousands of gaily embossed pasteboards aren't purchased for a song. | Call the garden and ask about ' the fight and you are seriously informed it will be held as edIt doesn't add up. gentlemen.. No matter if the garden does hold I a contract for a dock fight on June Third, why does it go to such an extreme in showing Schmeling its good faith? He hasn’t always been so considerate. But enough of this! Heaven 1 guard me against the day that I begin to worry my Leonine head about prizefights and prizefighters. (Copyright 1937 by UP.) o LEADING BATTERS | Player Club G AB R H Pct.

crease In the liberal group would piu,« in euectuating new dem policies remained problematical. The record of votes on new deal ' questions indicates but few laws i would have been approved by the probable future balance of the court as compared to the present tribunal. NRA was invalidated by a unatii1 mous vote of the tribunal hut the j question was so whittled down to I a matter of interstate commerce 1 that little indication was given as jto how the court would stand on I a newly drafted act. In the AAA case the vote was ] six to three against the law. A I change of one vote would have made the result five to four against the law unless the combined reasoning of the four liberals in conference could have swung Hughes or Roberts to the liberal side. This would have made the vote five to four in favor of the law. A change of one vote, however. I would have completely altered the I outcome of the municipal batik ] ruptcy test case, invalidated by a ' vote of five to four, by making the lineup five to four in favor of the law. o INDIANA WPA (CONTINUED FROM ring ON8) For the state office it was report,ed 1 per cent, and for the entlro • state, 2.64 per cent.
