Newspaper Page TextMidgets Go Around Holly Bowl Speedway Tonight At least two dozen midget race cars will buzz and screech around the asphalt oval at Hollywood Bowl speedway to night in a full program of midget auto racing. Eyes of the spectators and hopes of rival drivers will be aimed at the midget piloted by Bob Gregg, the barefoot boy from Camas, Wash., who won the most recent midget outing at the Bowl. Gregg will be on hand shooting for his second straight main event victory. There are at least a dozen cars and drivers capable of beating Maxim, Robinson End Training For Monday Mix New York U.R With light limbering exercises, Joey Max im and Sugar Ray Robinson fin ished training Saturday for their "battle of champions at Yan kee Stadium Monday night. Meanwhile, the ticket sale boomed so lustily that box-office men predicted a $500,000 gate. Maxim of Cleveland, light hea vyweight ruler, and Robinson of New York, middleweight champ, will break camp Sunday and mo t'lr into New York. Robinson, trying to wrest the 175-pound title from Maxim, must give up his own 160-pound crown automatically and im mediately if he succeeds Monday night. That was announced by both the New York Boxing Com mission and the National Boxing association. Robinson, an early underdog in the wagering, was favored Saturday at 6-5. Maxim, training at Grossinger, N.Y., scaled 176 t pounds after his last sparring session Friday; but said he would have no trou ble in paring down to the re quired 175 at the Monday noon weigh in. At Pompton, .N.J., Robinson registered 161 M. He plans to fight at 158 or 159.

Another AAU mark was set in the shot putt and an AAU ard American record was es tablished in the 3,000-meter Gregg tonight, and there's nothing better any of them would like to do. For years, Gregg has domin ated auto racing in the North west. For awhile, he was king of the hot rodders. Now he Is making history as a midget champion. Lou Sherman and Shorty Templeman, a couple of driv ers who have always proved popular to Salem racing fans, stand perhaps better chance than anyone else of defeating Gregg. Sherman and Templeman never finish far down the list in any race, and tonight could be the night either of them finishes at the top.

(AP Wire-photo) Portland Loses; Hollies Reach Top; Bevens Loses (By The Associated Press) The Hollywood Stars, after two months of pursuit, are atop the Pacific Coast league heap. Fred Haney's hustling crew disclodged San Diego Friday night with a 5-1 verdict that knocked the Padres out of the lead they had held since April 17. Jim Walsh scattered six hits while the' stars banged Ben Flowers for 11, although he fanned 11 batters. . The victory put the Stars two percentage points ahead of the Padres 595 to .593 and gave them three wins out of four in the series, with three games to go. Saturday night the Stars will shoot their young bonus lefty, Paul Pettit (7-2) against San Diego's veteran righthander, Jack Salveson (9-5). Elsewhere on the PCL mart, futures held firm, Oakland's Pete Milne rifled a three-run homer to pace the third place Oaks to a 12-5 win over Se attle. Los Angeles crept to within one point of Seattle and the first division with a 6-1 decision over Portland. Bottom -bound Sacramento looked bullish with a 2-0 tri umph over San Francisco. This last was a four-hit, nine strikeout job by Ken Gables. Bill Bevens tossed a five hitter for the Seals but three of them came in the eighth for both Solon runs that broke the scoreless tie. Roger Bowman made his first start for the Oaks a win ner, but needed a robust at- walk during the first night's competition. In the final events Saturday, six men will be qualified in each for the Los Angeles Olympic trials. Parry O'Brien of the Los An geles Athletic Club cracked Jim Fuchs' AAU record In the 16 pound shot with a heave of 57 feet, 4 inches. Fuchs' mark was 57 feet, V inches. Henry Laskau of New York cracked a 32-year-old mark in the 3,000 meter walk with a time of 12:52.6, breaking the record of 12:56.4 set by Bill Plant of New York in 1920. Spectators got an optimistic preview of the possible 400 meter final at Helsinski when Mai Whitfield of the U. S. Air Force defeated world record holder George Rhoden of Mor gan State and Jamaica, B. W. I. in 46.4. Whitfield beat Rhoden by two yards. Dean Smith of the San An tonio Athletic Club won the 100-meter race in 10:5 after de fending champion Jim Golliday of Northwestern pulled a groin muscle and had to pull up. I i i lT1, .

Hlrh, Salem Ph. 3-3748 How Long a Day Is Really Question for Scientists By J. HUGH PRUETT Astronomar, Extension Division, Onion Hlcbtr education Syatam To those of use who have seem rather senseless to expect a simple answer to the question, "How long is a day?" If we define "day" as the time between sunrise and sun- set, anyone who observes at all ... ... Right at present we are en joying the longest days of the year. The almanacs tell us that the summer solstice occurred on June 21. Solstice means "sun stands still." All this year so far the sun has every day been rising, setting, and coming to the noon point farther north in the sky than 'on the previous day. It has now stopped this apparent northward motion and for an instant has "stood still" before starting its long journey southward. Old Sol is now 47 Timber Carnival To Get Calliope Albany The Albany Timber Carnival parade will include the Shrine Calliope, it was assured Friday with receipt of word by Ted Snyder, parade chairman for the' Chamber of Commerce, that Al Kadar Shrine temple calliope will come here, from Portland and make its first ap pearance in Albany as a parade feature. The calliope is due here on a trailer July 2 and will remain here for the entire three days of this world-f a m e d celebration honoring the men who work in the woods. In charge will be Maurice M. Saelens, Portland, who will su pervise a five-man crew of "mu sicians," whose appearance here has been arranged through offi cials of the Mary's Peak Foun dation, which annually sponsors the Mary's Peak trek benefit for the Shrine Children's hospital at Portland. The calliope will head the children's division of the Tim ber Carnival parade.

In order to strike a general average for the readers in the 11 western states where this col umn is published, let us dis cuss conditions at a latitude of 45 degrees north. A college boy asked me recently, "When does the sun get directly overhead here at noon?" It never does. At the time of the summer solstice it still is 21 degrees south of the zenith at noon. He then asked, "How far south would one have to go to find an overhead sun? The answer is, "To the Tropic . of Cancer, which runs about through central Mexico." To an inhabitant of the equa torial regions, varying length of days has little meaning. Right on the equator, all days are of equal length. If we neglect the few minutes additional due to refraction of light at the hori zon, the sun is up 12 hours every day. As it shifts northward and southward, part of the year it is north of the zenith at noon and part south, but since it comes straight up from the horizon, it is in view 12 hours. An inhabitant of the pole would find a very different con dition. There the day is six months long. The sun is apt to rise almost any place around the horizon and during the first 24 hours simply skims entirely around this sky line. Each day it spirals a little higher, reach ing 23 Vi degrees above the hori zon at the summer solstice. Now how long is a day at 45 degrees north latitude? We have 12-hour days only twice a year: at the vernal equinox around March 21, and at the autumnal equinox around September 23. The shortest day comes at the winter solstice with only 8 hr. 46 min.; the longest (at present) with 15 hr. 37 min. The farther north, the longer the day. Today Edmonton, Canada, has a 17-hour day; Seward, Alaska, almost 19 hours. Albany Holds Line On City Taxation Albany Despite loss of some $30,000 revenues from punch board and other gambling de vices, Albany will be able to go through the coming fiscal year without a budget election, for the 1952-53 budget has been kept within the 6 per cent limitation City Manager C. G. Reiter Wednesday released for publi cation municipal cost estimates totaling $437,531, but cash re ceipts estimated at $289,170 are listed as an offset, leaving only $148,361 to be raised by taxa tion. Receipts include a general fund balance of $20,000. This is but $5,428 in excess of this year's levy.
