H. School Golfers Clash at Speedway

Fifty-three squads of high school linksmen will tee off at Speedway Golf Course tomorrow in the. annual state high school golf tournament. Michigan City, last year’s champions, will be back with two of last year’s winning combination on the team, Arnold and Ronald Jones. The first four schools (Martinsville, Winchester, Kokomo -and Mishawaka) will start ‘the meet at 7:30 a. m. A trophy will be awarded the winner and medals will be given the three low score individuals. Johnny Vaughn, Speedway professional, will act as referee, and Simon P.

called a “20-20” fuel mixture.

This fuel is mixed “with a base of high-test a ation: gasoline. Twenty per cent of the solution is benzol, and 20 cubic centimeters of lead are added for each gallon. Of course pnyone « can get a potion. concocted to his ewn formula, but the majority of driv-. ers, mechanieians and owners are willing to use what’s been proved best by fest. Since the Geiman drivers ‘had so much success at the Roosevelt Raceway, there has been an increase in the use of alcohol as a fuel base. Its chief advantage ‘is that it doesn’t heat motors the way a gasoline-base fuel does. On the other hand it is more expensive and doesn’t produce the mileage obtained from gasoline. - For lubrication most drivers nowadays use a mineral-base oil. Castor oil used to be the fad, but it seemed to produce too much carbon.

troit Tigers got a tough break when they lost Hank Greenberg to Uncle Sam’s new army, but what about the Chicago White Sox, who have perhaps their finest chance since the Black Sox scandal to battle for the pennant, and next month are due to lost right-handed ace, John Rigney, in the draft? The nnly reasons the Cleveland Indians are on top at all is because they have played and won six more games thap the White Sox. Thus the Tribe holds a 3-game lead over - Jimmy Dykes’ strange collection of baseball bric-atbrac which has defied the expents by getting away winging Despite the fact that the White Sox are facing the loss of ‘Rigney, who won his third straight game yesterday, they are gaining support 8s a dangerous darkhorse. Betting Commissioner Jack Doyle reports several bets on them recently at

The White Sox closed one of their . finest Eastern trips in years yesterday by defeating the Athletics, 4-1. The outcome snapped the A’s four-game winning streak, and gave the ite Sox a record of seven victories "against three losses. Rigney held the A’s to six hits. With 'Rigney, Edgar Smith, Thornton Lee, Bill Dietrich and Ted Lyons on his staff, Manager Jimmy Dykes has as much pitching talent as any American League club, not barring the Indians. But when Rigney goes in the draft, it’ll upset Dykes’ staff’ unless Buck Ross, the pickup from the Athletics, can be 4developed into a starter. Cleveland also wound up its eastern junket with seven victories and three defeats by staging a two-run rally in the ninth to beat Washington, 4-3. After pitching five-hit ball for eight innings, Sid Hudson weakened in the final frame. . . . |The Yankees beat the Tigers, 6-5, on Bill Dickey’s fourth homer and EImoved into third place. Rookie Steve Peek, with some help by Red Branch in the last two innings, won his first major league game. Bobo Newsom was knocked out of the box for the eighth time in nine starts and charged with his sixth defeat, one more than he lost all last season. .. . Scoring three runs in the eighth, the Browns came from behind and beat the Red Sox, 4-1. . The Brooklyn Dodgers plunged deeper into the throes of their slump by losing to the Cardinals, 7-6. It was Brooklyn's sixth straight loss and left them a game and a half from the top. The Reds beat the Giants, 6-4, with Paul Derringer holding the Terrymen to seven hits. Ernie Lombardi’s homer with the bases jammed and Frank McCormick’s eighth homer with Ripple on won the game.

YOU KNOW THOSE GOLDFISH in Fall Creek just east of Illinois St.? Well, they really are causing a furor among motorists and persons strolling along the bank this nice warm weather.

People with reasonable quantities of imagination have about decided to pur-

There have been many tales as to how the goldfish got started in a Hoosier stream that winds through the largest city in the State. This much is eertain: | Someone, years.ago, dumped some little goldfish into the stream. Being a, species of carp, they liked their new home and thrived. There are hundreds of them and they have grown to good size. We have seen -ne or two fishermen lugging goldfish home and never quite got up enough nerve to ask what they taste like, always remembering our friend, Cuthelbert, swimming around very contentedly in a little bowl at home,

THE wisConsSIN CONSERVATION DEPARTMENT figured it might be interesting to know the age of visiting fishermen, not that it. would make any difference to the fish.

70’s, he claims in an article 'in Wyoming Wild Life, official publication of that state’s game and fish commission. Here’s the way Mr. Reid sees matters: When © a fisherman doesn't bring home all the fish the law allows, he begins to think he isn’t so hot as an angler, complains about poor fishing and loses half the fun of fishing. : The remedy for this, he says, is to reduce the creel limit. “The creel limits should’ be revised to the number or weight of fish | that can be taken by the average fisherman in an average day’s fishing. “Not only will this constitute a highly desirable conservation measure and improve the quality of fishing, but the fishermen themselves will be better satisfied because they will consider they have done a successful job when they have achieved ‘par’ on the fishing course.” Could be, Mr. Reid has something there.
