John Reed Kilpatrick, Garden president. nor Johnsten would indicate just what course the Garden would pursue, but it seemed elementary that there were only two alternatives: | 1. To persuade Joe Jacobs, Schmel- ing’s manager, to send the Teuton against Braddock in a final “elimina- tion.” 2. To take the Schmeling-Baer fight out of the State. Jacobs, unless he changes his mind, never will permit Schmeling to fight Braddock. Not only does he believe that Schmeling's technical knockouts of Neusel and Steve Hamas entitle him to a title match, but likewise he holds a contract with the Garden for a June meeting with Baer.

The com- | SPORTS. le Between Baer and Schmeling Ruled Out by Empire State Solons THE EVENING STAR, WASHIN { | TEEPLECHASING is supposed to have had its origin in Ire- land in 1753, alihough there were “hunting matches” run | cross country in England in Stuart | times. | The first steeplechases were nothing but wild affairs, helter-skelter across | ccuntry from a starting point in a lane or at an inn to the steeple of a distant church. Over fences plowed land and meadows, brooks, hedges, fallen trees and sunken roads, horses and men raced madly for the honor of being first to the church. The nrst grand national was about like that. Spectators rode their own mounts across country, sometimes interferring with the race and often holding miniature steeplechases on their own account. Men and horses scampered everywhere in confusion. An early rule indicated the loose character of the race: “No rider may open a gate or ride through a gate- way, or more than 100 yards along | | any road, footpath or drift®ay.” | There was a wide choice of route over the same general circuit. A fence or | hedge might be taken at any point within a 100 yards or more. Danger Is Ever-Present. ZEAR by year the course was nar- | X rov.cd to 50 verds or so and the Jumps more d-finitely est-blished. Tcday the layout at Aintree, England, is spick and span, rai'ed and fenced | 1ike a park, the hecges at the jumps carefully built to the required heigit | each year. | The course where the Grand Na- tional steeplechase is run consists of two circuits which cover 4 miles 856 yards with 16 jumps, all but 2 of which are taken twice. For the dash to the finish line two of the most | dangerous and spectacular leaps are | eliminated on the second swing around. Cruelty to horses and riders has been charged against the Grand Na- | tional for ‘almost every race produces casualties. Still it goes right on gain- ing in popularity. Perhaps the ever- | present element of danger catches the | popular fancy. The English stecplechase classic's | toll of horses destroyed numbers 36 | since the race began. | In 1932 a jo-key was killed on the | Aintree course, but not in the Grand | Naticnal. | | Favorite Totes 175 Pounds.

Ancil Hoffman, Baer’s manager. openly scoffed at Braddock's designa- tion as No. 1 challenger. “Braddock wouldn't draw flies,” he said, referring to the Jerseyman’s potentialities at the gate. Even should the Garden attempt to match Braddock with Baer, the cham- pion and his manager would hold the whip hand. Under the terms of his contract with the Garden Baer must approve the challenger selected to fight him. Meanwhile Braddock, possibly doubt- ing he will be matched with Schmeling or Baer, signed a tentative contract to meet the winner of the Primo Carnera- Joe Louis heavyweight bout, to be staged by Mike Jacobs and the Twentieth Century Club at the Yankee Stadium in June. Braddock will have the right to withdraw from the con- tract should a match with Schmeling or Baer eventuate. NORTHEAST BOYS LEAD Score Heavily in Contests in Sil- ver Gloves Event.

You have resolved to keep it looking like new —now resolve to keep it vunning like new! OUR new car has bearing pressures and crank- case temperatures undreamed of ten years ago! To protect it, you need oil with enough oiliness and film strength to withstand these new conditions. Straight mineral oils have no more oiliness and film strength today than they had ten years ago. Some are so over-refined by new processes to elim- inate carbon and sludge that they have been robbed of the oiliness and film strength they must have to give safe lubrication. Conoco Germ Processed Motor Oil will help you keep your new car new because it is custom-made for it! It offers you these advantages, so vital for full protection of today’s high-powered motors— 1. Better protection of closely fitted parts under extreme pressure. Reason: The Germ Process (add- ing concentrated oily essence to highly refined oil) gives this 0il 2 70 4 times greater film strength than oils not Germ Processed. Proof: Tests on Timken, Al- men and other machines that measure film strength. 2. Cuts down starting-period wear that other oils cannot prevent. Reason: Germ Processed Oil pene- trates and combines with metal surfaces, forming a “Hidden Quart” that never drains away. Proof: Hundreds of “dry-crankcase runs,” in which cars using Germ Processed Oil were driven 15 to 75 miles with the crankcase empty but withoutdamage. 3. Extra long mileage. Reason: Greater oiliness and stability under all conditions. Proof: The In- Denver sent us a complete plan of mtrip—'eycrnflunuou “There were road maps of every state with road conditions and best routes marked, and booklets about scenic and historic points. Hotel and camp directories, too. dianapolis Destruction Test, in which a stock car ran 4,729 miles at 50 miles an hour on exactly 5 quarts, none added—1,410 miles farther than the best of five competitors. 4. No carbon or sludge troubles. Reason: New refining processes assure a clean, pure oil. Proof: 963,000 miles of official road tests, followed by millions of trouble-free miles driven by users of Germ Processed Oil.
