Miljus, Former Big League Mound Star To Start Game Tonjght I !NE E Traveling Team Expected to Give Locals Tough Work out Big Turnout Ex- . pected to Eye Youngsters Baseball fans who love to aee a ball burled to fast that It seems to quiver as It slams over the plate will have their ohance tonight when John Mll Jus, huge Serbian conch of the Mcd lord Baseball school, takes the mound at 6 o'clock against the travelling Convicts club. For 21 years "Jovo" unleashed his thunderbolt against auch greats u Ruth, Mousel, Gehrig and tho rest, and the steam .:tlll re mains on the apple. Since the star has not been pitching this year he will not remain In the game long, but those who have seen him whistle them over in practice know the stuff Is still there. The game Is expected to be one of the best here this year, and a big crowd is anticipated. The high school field Is In good condition. The Con victs are mostly young men, and come here with a long string of vic tories. They play In striped suits, and claim to be able to make a baseball behave as though trained. The traveling club has a wealth of good pitchers. Including Merle John son, southpaw; Walter shearer, right bander; Al Crowthers, right-handed chucker who bats left; John Whit man, right-handed curve bailer, and Joe Merrltt, southpaw. In a recent game against Longvlew, Wash, team, Merrltt hurled a two-hit game aa the Convicts walloped the northerners 10-2. Moat of the Convicts have their eye trained on Coast loague Jobs, and ac cording to Al Perry, club manager, most of them have bright futures In the game. Many of them are heavy Jiltters, even against fast pitching, and Interest la strong as to whether they'll be able to touch MIIJus. WEBF00T GRADUATES GET GRID DUCKATS ETJOBNB, Aug. IB.

BERLIN. Germany. August B.lSpl.) Jesse Owens, America's perfect track machine, has been the biggest thrill In the Olympic Games to date. as everybody In America already Knows. I promised to send dick Appiegaw something about sporta while I waa here, so the above Is It. You've already read all about the games In The Mall Tribune, so there's no use of me running over the events again, but It Is worth mentioning that owens Is the most effortless performer we've ever seen In action, and probably comes the closest to hypothetlcsl p fectlon possible for a human being. The Germans have taken Jess to their hearts and the newspapers are full of Owens pictures and owens stories. The pictures, fortunately, are in English but the writing Is all In German and we can only guess at the laudatory phrases heaped upon om big dark performer. tvi maather durlnz the first four days of the games has been very bad. This Is being written on the fifth day and I have Just S minutes to get this In the mall that win go j no York on the Zeppelin Hlndenburg this afternoon. We saw the Hlnden burg on opening day, by the way. as It circled over Berlin and over the stadium several times, during me afternoon. Th Germans have been making n real showing In the Olympics for the first time since 1800, so the fir- sre turnlni out en masse every afternoon. There hssn't been an empty seat In the stadium yet and from what i hear, the ttadlum is sold out every dav. In Los Angeles In 1832, only the lg days drsw capacity crowds, but every day Is a nig aay nere. aim haa been out every afternoon. The sailors stay there es-h day and when the stadium gets word mat Miner Is coming, his personal flag is run up. He caught tnem iiat-ioovea uu day though and got In before tbey found out he was coming and there was quite a scramble getting his floe hoisted. The crowd still goes wild every time he arrives and gives Mm many Hells" and the outstretched nana business. That Is a very effective ges ture, by the way, and Is used at each victory coremony. Whenever a flag goes up, whether' It's the American French or German, tne wnoio crowd stands with right arms out stretched towards the flag. When It's the Oerman flag that goes up and the Oerman anthems are played, they all pitch In and sing, and lOO.ooo voices singing their deep, throaty hymns can give you quite a thrill. A bunch of us Americans wciuca the "Star-Spangled Banner" the other day. but we were pretty weak. Besides not knowing the words, most oi inem oouldn't get up that high, and it was my clear, fine tenor, ringing out over the stadium that pardon me, my conscience has lust cracked me back of the ear and I can't go on. Anyway, we have decided to let the band get along without us after this. REDS ON STRIKE CINCINNATI, Aug. J0.

SPINE CRACKERS A big crowd saw some of tho most wildly exciting wrestling matches: ever seen here last night, with two! opening matches of such blazing fury that they tamed by comparison what would have ordlnarllly been consid ered a fast main event. Not that the main event could be considered tame. George Craig, the Tulsa Blacksmith, forged a name for himself in that match with Bob Montgomery, although losing tho scuffle to two straight Boston crabs. Tho blacksmith took the first fall in 11 minutes with, an anvil flip, a giz zard Jarring experience that took the eyo of the ' crowd. It started as a straight body lift, and when Mont gomery came down Craig flipped him over In a tight flying mare. Pour were enough for tho fall. Cherokee Ike, roughhouslng Indian, had much of tho roughness removed In the middle event by Joe Hubka, blonde giant who retaliated to the Indian's dirt with such enthusiasm that fans had difficulty In keeping their peepers focused on the two as Hubka took the match In straight falls. In the first round, which saw no falls, the Indian bit Hubka's finger several times, possibly under the Impression It was dust. Angered, the ex-footballer from Nebraska heaved him over the top rope onto the small of his back on the edge of the apron, and then when Ike lined himself up for a slingshot back Into the arena, helped him considerably by raring back on the top rope. Cherokee Ike returned to the ring Im mediately, In a high arc. landing on his back In the middle 'of the ring. Three son nen bergs and a somersault bottoms-up scissors gave Hubka the firm fall In the second round. Referee Prlsble stopped the match at the start of the third when the glassy-eyed Indian couldnt stand up. - Pull nelson swings took the open- inir .tniocu for waiter stratton when he swung Max Olover dizzy, after Glover had attempted to take an early advantage with slugging.
