 27 to Y

Displaying marked reversal of

 In the third quarter the Alumni were
 held scoreless while the youngsters added four points more making r to

In the final quarter youth gained on age and eX- perience giving the South Main street hoopsters a well deserved victory, In changing from q defensive to an of- fensive team the Trade boys surprised their most ardent admirers. Time and again short rife-shot passes carired the ball the length of the floor for an easy shot. The score does not indi- cate the bombardment on the Alumni basket but that basket semed charm ed. Shot after shot rolled around and out While on the offense in this game the guards took good care of the defense also. Outside Of Bunny" Swanson only one Alumni was able to drop field goal, The Almuni five presented lineup of stars in the City Bunny" Swanson and Hugo Anderson of the Eagles. kaminicky of the Rangers. and Sikora Of the Mohawlis, With these were kulikow- ski and Sandstrom from last years trade team. Bunny Swanson star red for the eN-traders playing won- derful floor game and scoring twelve of his teams total. He was assisted ably by kaminicky who dropped in the other field goal. Sikora and kul- ikowshi also showed up well. For the Trade team il would be hard to pick out q star as all worked together. A glance at the baskets scored shows the combined attack was successful. Capt. Anderson and Baker worked well scoring three double counters cash as did Lippman who went in tho second half.

'SOTHORON STAGING l
 MAJORS COMEBACK.
Unreliable Hurler Will Try to
 Stick With Cardinals

Allan Sothoron, former star pitcher of the St. Louis Browns and the Cleve- land Indians, is to return to the ma jers. He comes back to St. Louis. but this time as a member of the Card inals of the National league. Manager Hickey, familiar with Sothoron's abili- ty, feels that he can remedy the faults that sent Sothoron to the minors.
 The career of Allan Sothoron as a big league pitcher has been most un- usual Possessed by remarkable ability he never came up to expectations.
 A desire to experiment with freak deliveries was one of the contributing causes to Sothoron's failure to stick. Sothoron is the possessor of fine speed, corking good curve and very fair change of pace. He has enough na- tural ability to be star. Sticking to straight stuff he always went along pretty well but the ><monotonous routine Of doing things as other pitch CTS did them never appealed 10 Sothoron.
 Of an inventive turn of mind, Sothoron never failed to start some ex- pertinent if his team staked him to a fair margin. Dabbing with freak de- liNeries was his undoing.
 
 When pitching there was always desire on the part of Sothoron to sec if he couldn't make the ball take some frcaky break by tampering with it. A smooth spot, q rough spot, loaded seam, a piece of dirt placed on the ball, cutting the ball with his thumb nail are just a few of the stunts that will make the ball jump and dip. All pitchers are familiar with the possi- bilities Sothoron always got more of a kick out Of striking out some star batter in a pinch than merely retiring him on q fly or gronnder. He often re- sorted to the unusual to accomplish his purpose,
 Use Of freak deliveries invariably caused Sothoron to lose control. Once with a seven run lead in the eighth inning he began experimenting. final 1 ly losing the game.
  Inability to handle bunts is sothor- on's other failing. In practice sothor- | on is really classy fielder. However ! in a game, when the opposition starts | bunting on him, he seems to lose his | aim entirely. After fielding the ball | he invariably throws if into the l ground or far over the first baseman's head. Under stress. tho mere throwing of the ball to the first haseman with | any degree of accuracy becomes ale | most a physical impossibility. The real ! trouble of course Is mental.

LIFE ON PLANET, SCIENTIST SAYS
DR.. Hrdlicka Believes Apes Developing To,Uard
Higher Creatures, Says Cephalic Index Tells
Nothing of Race Mentality.

OF the breadth Of the head to its
length. has been utterly discredited

tiation, Dr. Hrdlicka, anthropologist of
the Smithsonian Institution. said in an
other lecture yesterday afternoon.
This statement strikes at the foun-
has been built up in the past few
years in which various mental quail
ties have been assigned to different
racial groups, such as the Eordic
and the Alpine, who have been classi-
fed as narrow skulled or broad skull

Investigations within the last FIVE
years have served to disprove conclu-
sively this old standby OF anthro-
pology. Until these Investigations
were made the cephalic index had
been one of the corner stones of the
science.
OF the ductless gland propaganda
He said that while the ductless glands
undoubtedly were the governing or
gans in the growth Of the body they
were not independent systems in
themselves and depended on the
nerves and other body cells.
He defined stature as the number
of somatic cells In the body" which Is
controlled by very complex. imper-
fectly understood substances known
as hermones which are secreted by
these ductless glands.
Growth in stature, he said, is pro-
portional throughout the body except
in the gray matter of the brain. This
does not increase. Women, he said
have slightly smaller brains than men
on an average, because the white
matter is directly proportional to the
size Of the body in normal indivtduals
and women's bodies are slightly
smaller. This. however, has nothing
TO do with intelligence, which is en-
tirely a function OF the gray matter
Dr. Hrdlicka gave a number of sta
tistics concerning the variations OF
different organs in accordance with
height.
