His wavy hair is brushed with gray, grid his pale blue eyes look at you from behind homed rimtned glasses. He is shy, and this trait is accentuated by 9 reddish moustache on the mousey-side. His favorite topic of conversation is the raising of chickens, and he would much prefer to discuss incubators than carburetors and 1 cars than thunder across the ground at better than 300 miles an hour. His name is George E. T. Eyston —Captain George E. T.

He had just y finished a run for the record in y his Silver Thunderbolt, a sevenI ton, 3.600 horsepower monster i- than whines, not roars, as it rocklets its driver faster than any otha er man has ever traveled on earth. 4 1 Those runs on the salt beds, pre--9 historic eyesores, afford the most ! eerie sight in sports. I'll never | forget the one I saw. We left Salt | . i Lake by plane, in the darkness . just before dawn, and were on the . . beds, 100 miles away, before the 1 t sun got there. A cold wind came . down from the mountains that rim j r the desolate waste. . I We stationed ourselves at the i start of the measured mile. The | .(only light we had was that pro-: ; vlded by the thin, cold fingers of i I the state troopers' automobile | ; headlamps. Far down the flat : . ibeds. six miles away, the lights of: ! campfires glowed — the campfires ; of Captain Syston's base, where! ■ Thunderbolt was being readied for ; its dash across the hammer-hard salt. I Then dawn came. Slowly at | ; first, then violently, the sky was shot with colors. Crimson, orange. I blue, purple. It was an unreal I light, and standing there in the! Ideep quiet of the vast salt beds ■ ( >ne felt as if he were watching: not only the dawn of another day, :' but the dawn of creation. j Word came that Eyston hade started. . This word wasn't needed, be-, cause riding with the wind came, . a whine—an ugly, menacing whine.'< Thunderbolt's motor was singing J its song of speed. And riding it, I waving his baton of the chorus of mighty cylinders, was Eyston, the quiet, blue-eyed man whose hobby is raising chickens. I We peered thorugh the pale light, for the first sight of him. But Thunderbolt is silver, and the morning was silver, and it was not 'until the car was almost in front 'of us did we see it. A high, piercing "WEE-E-E-E!” Sheets of colored flame. A tremble of the earth. That was all. Now the captain's on his way away, for another dice with death on the salt. I This time he hopes to achieve I the "magic threes.” as he refers !to his goal of 333 miles per hour. | Thunderbolt has been improved in line and power. The biggest change in the lines involved the complete enclosing of the driver's seat. Last November he drove ex'posed and the wind whipped off his goggles, forcing him to make 'one run driving with one hand. Even the captain doesn't think that’s healthy. In fact, he admits it is downright dangerous. Good luck, captain! and don't pass any red lights.

July 6, — (Spec- » iall- With a guaranteed purse of $1,600 to shoot at, many of the country's best dirt track race drivlers have filed entries for the seciond Funk's Speedway classic on ' the Funk oval, west of Winchester lon state road 32, for Sunday. July ‘ 10. I Every driver, regardless of his : placing, will be eligible for a money prize in the qualifying I rounds, which will begin at 11 a.tn. I (CST). I The racing program proper will , I begin at 2:30 p. tn. (CST) and will | consist of six races, the last and feature event being the 25-lap In-, Idiana Sweepstakes. Other events I will be four elimination contess 'and a 12-lap consolation race. | Led by Jimmy Wilburn of Los I Angeles, Cal., at present leader in the Central State Racing Association standing, a score of the tastiest drivers will compete. Joie Chitwood of Tulsa. Okla., is close on I Wilburn's tail and can annex prime : ! honors if he cops the Winchester ’ events. 1 Other famous pilots, who for the | most part are driving new and I faster cars, are Doc Shanebrook of [Brooklyn, winner of the season's inaugural at Greenville, O.; Morris Musick, of Dallas.

NATIONAL LEAGUE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) ball fan, most of them National leaguers in this stronghold of the rollicking Reds, lined up behind the underdog The strong left arm of Johnny Vander Meer, home town hero, which weaved a magic spell around the best hitters in the National league, against the cunning port side flipper of Vernon (Goofy) Gomez, Yankees' veteran —that was the pitching lineup for the start of today's battle for blood and glory. Vander Meer, author of two straight no-hit, no-run games in ' June, drew the honor of starting 1 for the National league over a 1 squad of veterans. But Manager Bill Terry, gambling on youth to break the American league’s yoke of tyranny, believes Vandor Meer's mixture of speed and deception will fool the American league power house hitters who have blasted the National league to defeat in four j of the five previous games. Until he was beaten by the Cubs Sunday. 4-3, Vander Meer had won nine straight, displaying the greatest rookie pitching in the 62-year history of the league. After Vander Meer, Terry plans to use either Carl Hubbell, Giants' southpaw, or Bib Hill Lee, Cubs' . right hander, for the middle three innings. To mop up in the final three innings Terry plans to use Mace Browu, Pittsburgh's curve ball expert who has won 11 games this season in relief roles. Gomez, having started four of the five all-star games, goes into today's nearly at the peak of his form despite an unimpressive record of 6 victories against 8 defeats. Three times Gomez has received credit of being the winning pitcher in all-star games. In his last four league games he has allowed only five earned runs and 23 hits in 36 Innings. He Is hot. Joe McCarthy isn't so sure about his pitching assignments after Gomez. Overnight he planned to use Johnny Allen. Cleveland's fiery | right-hander who has won 12 j straight this season and has a | record of 27 victories in 29 games,l I in the middle three innings and’ j finish up with Lefty Grove, Red ■ Sox's ancient southpaw who has an impressive record of 13 victories MORRIS PLAN LOANS on FURNITURE LIVESTOCK ELECTRIC STOVES REFRIGERATORS.

and 3 defeats, providing the 37-year-old Grove wants to work. If he doesn't, it may be Johnny Murphy, Yankees’ relief pitcher. However, the pitchers will depend largely upon how the game goes. Both Terry and McCarthy may juggle their pitching assignments considerably after Vander Meer and Gomez leave the hill. One thing is certain. The National league, harassed and humiliated by its frequent lickings in the all-star game, is going to shoot , the works to win. Terry is gambling heavily with five players in the starting lineup who never played in an all-star game before. They are Vander Meer. Lombardi. , McCormick. Hack and Goodman. Vander Meer and McCormick are the first two rookies ever to start for the National league. The American league has only two newcomers, Mike Kreevich, White Sox outfielder, and Buddy Lewis.

The preliminary assessment roll was then made the permanent assessment roll and turned over to the clerk-treasurer for collection. o REDUCED RATE (CONTINUED FTIC-It PAGE ONE) tory is $1 per month. Schedules for lighting, power, cooking and heating services were prepared and approved by the public service commission. Each schedule defines the character of service, the voltage and the availability. The savings to farmers served by the city plant are estimated at more than $3,000 a year, based on the last six months' consumption. The reduced rate means a saving to every user, as the five cent rate applies on the first kilowatts used. — o Agreement Signed By Great Britain, Russia London, July 6— (U.R) —Russia and Great Britain signed an agree- ; ment today to limit battleships to 45,000 tons. The agreement was identical with that Britain recently concluded with the United States and France, and maintained a 16inch gun limit. ,

SHELTER HOOSE HI CITY PAH Shelter House Is J* r0 P 0S ’ ed For Hanna-Nutt-man City Park ' A shelter house in Hanna-Nutt-man park and possibly other pa in the city was proposed at regular meeting of theß city eotm, di Tuesday night by Ralph civil works commissioner. : The NYA boys, who will finish their work of erecting street si«m at intersections in Decatur, w the WO rk. NYA district official’ have proposed that in case a shelter house project should be approx ed by the city the NYA will turni Ish the ,cement and material the roofs. . The matter was referred to Hie park committee with power to act.

Mr. Roop also reported that a| fund of S9OO for truck expense for 1938 was nearly exhausted due to a change in the WPA regulations. When the budget for 1938 was set up. the WPA furnished the trucks but no material. Now the MPA is furnishing part of the material but no trucks. Consequently, the city fund is running low. Mr. Roop was instructed to continue his present policy of cooper'ating with the WPA and told that the city would raise the additional money. A communictlon from Mayor A. R. Holthouse was read to the council. It reminded the body that if proposed changes are to be made in the garbage removal ordinance, it would have to be done almost immediately due to the fact that contracts are let August 1 to become effective September 1. Sam Acker appeared before the council asking that away of egress be provided him from his plant between the Decatur Castings company and the Wayne Novelty company. He said that at present it is necessary for him to drive over private property. He suggested a road be extended west to Tenth street. A communication from the publice service commission approving the recently announced light and power rates for rural customers was read. The report was placed on file. The new rates become effective with the July meter readings. o DEATH CLAIMS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE? ONE)
