Stinnett, Wit! Strong Aggre-
gation, Coming to De-
feat Locals
Fqjr the first time 111 throe weeks
Borgfcr baseball fuiiK will have a
chance to ee the fiorger Pacers 111
action here Sunday when the local
team tangles with tttiuneti at Pac-
er park
The teams have not met tills year
and little can be predicted about the
outcome. The Stinnett team has
irlidergone a (borough reorganiza-
tion since being beaten by Prairie
two weeks ago. and the strength oC
the team can hardly be estimated.
Six Imported players, however, are
said to have strengthened the team
wonderfully. Two of the new men
come from Wheeler,Okla., two from
Krick, Okla., anil two from Perry-
ton.
The Pacers are in good trim ac-
cording to the management, and
should show some speedy action.
The game will be called at 8 o'-
clock.

MYSTERY Ml
DDE TO ARRIVE
KITH NANTELL
Identity of Opponent Un-
known on Eve of To-
night's Show
On the eve of the big battle at the
Coliseum tonight, the identity of
Dutch Mantell's mystery man who
Pascha, the Terrible Turk will meet
still remains a secret.
Desp'te the secrecy of the affair,
however, Borger fans feel confident
that the Dutchman will not fail to
bring someone who can hold his.
own. They have seen Mantell bring
wrestlers here before and know that
he brings men who gives the fans
the worth of their admission price.
It took Dutch several weeks to
bring a man here who could better
Joe Kopecky, but he finally achieved
the invincable by brining in Olaf
the Mystery Mail. This long armed
youth is thought to lie the person
who tans will see climb through the
ropes tonight, and in this case the
Turk will have rough sledding. That
much is certain.
The preliminary of the affair pro-
mises to hold much interest and
plenty ot laughs, for Dick Staunton
weighing 250 pounds and Red Mc
Lelian weighing 240 will compete
for honors in the heaviest division
ever seeif contested here.
The preliminary will start at 8:80
o'clock.

AMRRT STARS
America's "Kid" Athletes
Threaten Honors of
Title Holders
R.V JAY R. Y ESS ELS
(Associated Pres.': Sport Writer> j
NEW • VORK (/P) -America's!
"kid'' athletes are threatening to;
take the play from the grownups. ;
Juvenile performers from nine j
year:-: u; have repeatedly flashed !
across the sports horizon t late, j
In the fields of tenuis, running,
swimming and golf these mere I
children have scintillated, and re-j
ccntly there was the remarkable I
feat ot an American girl outsprint-
ing the world's best women run- !
tiers in Ihe 1 on meters Olympic]
final;. to set n new world's record
Little Miss Dorothy Robinson of
Chicp.go, who has seen just 16 sum-
mers, stepped out at Amsterdam
when Aemrlca's best athletes were
falling all around her and ran the
100 meters iu the fast time of 12
1-5 seconds.
But this is just one of many ex-
amples of the things Uncle Sam's
child athletes have done to distin-
guish themselves. Perhaps best
known of the youngsters is Junior
Coen, now 10, whose play on the
tennis courts of America and else-
where has been the talk of the ten-
nis world. As a member of Amer-
ica's 192K team lie is the youngest
player ever to be chosen for Davis
Cup competition.
Three children who still believed
in Sputa ('laus just a f ;w years ago
are competing with America's
forces at Amsterdam. In addition
to Miss Robinson they are: Doro-
thy Poynton, 18, of Pasedena,
Calif., fancy diver, and Tom Mack.
I I. of Philadelphia, coxswain of
the Pennsylvania A. ('. four-oared
crew.
Coincident with tlie splendid race
run by Miss Robinson was the per-
formance of John "Freckles" De-
vine, niue-year-old Philadelphia!!,
who swain the Delawure Riv?r from
Philadelphia to Chester, a distance
I of 14 miles, in 3 hours, 58 minutes.
Challenging "Freckles" for hon-
! ors among the "kid" athletes is
Dorothy McSheeny, 10-year-old
I Whitinsville, Mass., girl. In the re-
cent New England junior chani-
I pionship swimming races at Mel-
rose, Mass., Dorothy finished 50
, yards ahead of her nearest compet-,
I itor in the girls' 220-yard free style'
| event. She weighs i nly 75 pounds. I
None the less astounding was!
the showing of 13-year-old Ariel
Vilas ot Hot Springs, Ark., who \
played her way to the linals of the j
Arkansas Women's CloPf tourna-
j nient ai Fort Smith. She lost in
:tlie championship round, but never-
theless gained more glory than the
victtr. Little Miss Ariel needed
i are courage in her upward climb,
for she faced her mother, Mrs.
Jack Villas, ill the semi-finals.
Older and more experienced,
Miss Rpblnson and Young Coen
perhaps are the best of America's
athletes, lfi years old and under.
Iu breaking the 100 meters record
in the fast time of 12 1-5 seconds
Elizabeth merely confirmed the pre-
dictions of critics who saw her per-
form in indoor meets last winter
and then sweep through the Ameri-
can Olympic trials.
Coen's net prowess Is knowh
throughout the United States and
Europe. He has played tennis since
he was seven years of age. Big
Bill TUden saw him play in a boys'
tournament in St. Louis four years
ago and immediately took an active
interest in his tutoring. Now It
appears that Coen will attain at
least some of the success marking
the career of Big Bill.
When Little Willie used Daddy'.'
choicest walking stick for a "golf"
club to wallop stones, mother won-
dered: "What will he do next?"
That Is the attitude America Is
taking today - toward Its- energetic
"kid" athletes.

Tarantula Bite Kills
Bird in One Second
SAN ANTONIO, (AP)— Appar-
ently it is more humane to feed
snakes on mice than upon birds. The
Wltte Museum here has gone back
I to the mouse diet for its big rattle

humane society against feeding the
