 It is narrated, then, that a stage mother was one Of a group Of remi- niscent theatrical folk and that the incident of the girl who took a bath in a tub of beverage several years ago came up for conversational re- hash.
 One of the group said that not only had the girl bathed nude, or practically 80, but that he had heard that she hadn't been paid for 1t. The lady heard this for the first time, Not paid!" she exclaimed. Why, where was her mother?"

NEW YORK, Dee 26.WP)-Frank
J. (Leftyl. O'Doul, Philadelphia out
fielder, was named batting champion
of the National League in the Off
cial averages released today. Unit
ed Press averages issued at the close
of the 1929 season indicated that
C'Doul had an average of 400 but
the official records cut two points
from this figure.
O'Doul, who started his baseball
career as a left handed pitcher and
who had been east off by several
major league clubs, including the
New York Giants and Yankees, is
the first Philadelphia player to win
the National League batting cham
pionship in 20 years.
In addition to taking the hitting
championship with n II point lead
over his nearest rival, Babe Herman
Of Brooklyn. O'Doul set new ma ior
league record for the number of hits
during single campaign, clouting
21+ safe blows, four more than the
previous high mark set by Rogers
Hornsby in 122. The Phillies' Gar
dener barely missed another honor,

power and speed backfields.
The varied Sanford offense, cal
culatcd to meet any conditions that
it finds opposing it, is not sure what
it will run into Saturday, and so is
wisely preparing for anything.

tree in Branner Hall, receive gifts
and good wishes, and to present their

TO GO"
There is considerable speculation
On the frankie Murray-Sid Torres
bout, which tops the card. Last
week gave fans an opportunity to
see Murray in action and he looked
plenty good against Pedro Villa,
taking the decision with little trou-
bic. frankie did not display sock,
but had a world of cleverness, and
perhaps he saved the sock for this
weeks match.
He will need it to win, for in
Torres he is fighting boy who has
more knockouts to his credit at the
Olympic club in Los Angeles than
any other two fighters appearing
there. Torres put George Tasker
away in seven rounds two weeks
ago, showing the ringsiders q left
hook that is dynamite for any fight
eI who stops it.
Joe Mapcillas is out to give Homer
Gaines a sound trouncing, but will
probably find that he is facing a
large sized order, for Homer is in
perfect trim right now, is travelling
fast and hitting straight. When
Homer is right there are few boys
who can make him look bad. He
has been working hard for several
months and is keeping his mind on
his boxing.
Michael Donovan and Frank Row
sey should put on show that is
certain to please the fans Mike has
worlds of experience and knows how
to take care of himself in the ring.
