Last month he led his club to a clean sweep of a three team tournament at Bran don, Manitoba. i On the road for the fifth suc cessive season, the Globetrotters will face the Brooklyn Cuban Giants Monday night. Going Into the present campaign, the 'Trot ters captured 367 games while losing only 103 in four seasons. - Last year they won 100 while dropping 19. i The record is attributed to the leadership of the peppery Hardy, who, well liked by his players, has them hustling and bearing down to win every game. The manager formerly starred with the Birmingham Black Barons and the Chicago American Giants. ' The showmanship motif of the Globetrotters' activities is car ried out by Ed Hamman who en tertains before and during the game from the sidelines and the stands.

Scot Refutes Idaho Trout Record With 392 Pounder Story Salen, Archaracle, Argyll shire Scotland, July 21 U.R Fishermen in Lake Fend Oreille, Idaho, U.S.A., will have to keep trying for a world record trout, ord trout. The 36-pounder taken from Lake Fend Oreille in 1947 was three and one-half pounds short of a world record catch made near here 81 years ago, according to a loyal Scottish nlmrod who cited the records to back up his claim. "I have retd," said J. L. "I have read," said J. L. Campbell, "of some Incredible trout fishing In an American lake which produced In one season 200 trout of over 22 pounds weight. One of these trout, a 36-pounder, had ap parently been accepted as the world record. "I do not know If this state ment has been accepted with out comment, but I would like to refute this claim on behalf of Scotland," Campbell said. "In 1866, Mr. A. C. Muir established a so-far unbroken world record for trout in Loch Awe, Argyllshire, with a fish weighing 3914 pounds. This fish is officially recorded and is mentioned in Dr. Jenkins' Fishes of the British Isles, and in other publications. "I am passing this informa tion on to America ... It will spur them on to greater ef forts, and I expect they will set up a world record but they cannot afford to take It easy yet." "d: ii .

July 21 W) There's little danger of serious scar cities growing out of the Korean situation but a lot of danger from hoarding and scare buying, warned today. The warnings against needless Problem Rocket To Get New Test Banana River, Fla., July 21 (U.R) Air Force experts said to day they would attempt again next week to launch a reluctant rocket which never got off the ground in nine trying hours Wednesday. Just about everything that could go wrong with the first ex periment in low-angled firing of a guided missile did. When they finally got around to pulling the firing switch on the giant device a weapon that in some future day may wipe out an entire city it produced only popping noise, hardly worthy of a champagne cork. The main fuel valve was stuck. Military and civilian scientists working at the air force long range proving ground will re move the delicate Instruments and, if they weren't too badly damaged by the misfire, reas semble them for another test Monday. Just in case, another rocket was being readied fqr tiring July 28.
