AURORA, IIL, June §—The State will have the aid of Ulysses &. Young, retired Charleston, W. Va., business man, in its effort to convict four men and a woman implicated with him for alleged poisoning of four race horses at Exposition Park two weeks ago in a betting plot. Young, who made a complete state- ment of his part in the affair when arraigned last night, said he would appear as a State witness before the grand jury. Charles Davis of Da; ton, Ohio; Frank Marian of Utl N. , and Earnest Leaver of Toronto are in custody and effort is being made to apprehend Farl Clark of Columbus, Ohlo, and Mrs. Rose Clark. Young is at liberty on $6,000 bond. six are named in confessions of Young, Leaver and Marion, and all have been barred from the turf by track stewards. Young said the death of two of the horses poisoned was the result of overzealousne: of the plotters which led them to administer two poison doses. He d he had paid $4,000 to Joseph Ke of New Orleans, owner of Elizabeth K., and $3,500 to E. E. Sterreppe of Anthon, Iowa, owner of Apology, for the death of their horses, and that the Kansas City owner of Sandrae had been paid $3,200 and the Chicago owners of Green Woods $1,000 for the injury of those animals. | | pounding and the boy TOM ECK IS BURIED.

So, in many cases, sub- stitutions will have to be made for the regulation uniform prescribed. Tl tell you what I think is best, however, and if you can manage to buy it all right. If not, don’t be dis- couraged, for some of the greatest stars in all lines of sport never had anything like regulation equipment to start in with. First, get a pair of white duck or flannel " trousers. If you still wear short trousers select white duck knickers. Wear a white linen shirt with short sleeves.

Low shoes are lighter and give the feet more freedom. If the ankles are weak, however, select a high shoe and keep it well laced. is better than an ankle brace. An ankle brace should be worn only when the ankle is sprained. Wear a shoe that is neither too big nor too small. The foot should have e support that comes with a good fit- ting shoe. And it must have room to spread a little, for it is growing. A white V-neck sweater is nice to have to wear after your practice or match is over. Long or short trousers, whichever you prefer; low or high shoes, accord- ing to the strength of your ankles; short_slecves and a racket and you are all ready for tennis. (Copyright. 1926.)

ILLINOIS COMMISSION TO JOIN NATIONAL BODY CHICAGO, June 8 (#).—The Illinots Athletic Commission will join the Natfonal Boxing Assoclation. This move is taken to definitely discredit rumors that the new boxing board would enter into an alllance with the New York Boxing Commission. The New York body is not an association member. Fans interpreted the statement from Chairman O. W. Huncke yester- day to mean also that the commission- ers will not object to Phil Rosen- berg's defense of his bantamweight champlonship here. The New York board has banned the title holder, who has been tentatively booked for a Chicago bout with Bud Taylor. Huncke said that the commission is | ated | making rapid progress, but indi there is slight likelihood of any Illi- nols fights before the latter part of July. .
