He hit B homers and S9 doubles and led the league regulars in hitting.
 Cooke, who is %, is a typical product of the Yankee system. He was purchased by Colonel Jake Rup- pert's club in 1927 after he had shown well with the Durham club of the Piedmont league. That was Dus- tvs first year in professional base ball.
 Optioned 10 Asheville of the Sally league in 1928, Cooke swatted the ball for an average Of .36c. They figured he would loose fifty points in batting in the long jump to the American Association where the brand of pitching is not much be- low that of the majors. What Duty lost was just four points. The Yankees has assigned Cooke who hits from the port side, to left | field, and unless he proves equally good against left and right handed pitching he will alternate in that po- sition with Sam Byrd, who bats right handed.

 Ut is to be regretted" add the clubs statement, that Dr. W. T.. Tweddell and Mir. John Wilson will not be available"
 As the team itself consists of eight men, there is only one other place to fill, but two reserves will be nominated and may be called up- on to play either in singles or four somes.
 The selection this year is being made much earlier than usual which the British golfing world fig- ures as all to the good for Great Britain, as hitherto the players have not had some opportunity of pre- pairing themselves for the big event as they will this year.
 Of the seven men thus far select ed for the British Walker cup team four have played on other British cup teams. these being Holderness Tolley, Torrance and Wethered. Tol- ley is the present British amateur champion. while Holderness and Wethered have both held the title.
 The American Walker cup team which is explained by Bobby Jones will leave the United States on Apri so for the cup match.

P Perkins and in 1928. Red Hart ley has been well up in big matches and in 1926 led the British golfer in the open at St. Ans at the end 0 the first days play.

A crippled South church team ac- cepted an inevitable defeat at tho hands of the Plainville Y. M. C. A. quintet at the Hartford "Y" last night and the senior County "1' Basketball league ended in a triple tie. The locals attack was riddlcd by misfortune, Mercy being absent, Jacobi being none too well, and Bell suffering from a badly cut hand which made him practically help less and finally forced him to leave the floor when the gash reopcncd. In the face of this series of handl- caps the church team tried hard but played loose basketball. being unable to penetrate the Plainville defense until late in the game while the winners scored time and again on greater accuracy and cleaner hand ling of the ball.
 Jacobis foul and a Vessels basket gave New Britain a start, but Geeter- sloh scored for Plainville and Cauli- field followed two more free losses by Jacobi.

Wosilus and Rockwell counted from the floor. and Gecter- sloh's shot was succeeded by further baskets by Vessels and Jacobi, mak- ing the score 27-o1 with two and q half minutes to play. But New Britain was done, and Pond and Geetersloh drew Plainville away tc it's final margin.

 Baseball reporters with the for mer worlds champions at St. Peters, burg have stamped Dusty with their unofficial approval and predict that he will do to curve ball pitching what he has been doing to the straight ball hurling during the early training season. And that will be plenty.
 Dusty, it seems, takes a terrific cut at the ball, a cut that enables him to put his huge form behind bis drives He is six feet, one inch tall and weighs zoo pounds.

Warren $. Slater, formally phye1- cal director of the local "" and now acting in that capacity at Glendale. Cal, was featured recently by the ] newspapers of his adopted home town as the national professional squash -handball champion" A pie ture displayed the same old Warren with the same smile that helped to make him a popular sports figure here until he left the east for tho west.
 Although Slater originated the . game eight years ago, 1t was not un- til this season that he was able to capture the championship. The news paper story led off with the fact q that the combined ages of the two finalists was Ss years. Preceding this match. Warren and his assistant took the title in doubles at the Pasadena Athletic club where the tournament<J was run off.
 Hundreds of men. who were boys 20 years ago when Slater was direc- tor of Landers playground and after . ward served as assistant and then physical director of the Y. NJ. C. A.. will never forget this spry midget. of him ducking around basketball courts, tossing goals over his head or even scoring while seated on the floor; of his slow ball and balk de- livery as he pitched in indoor base 4 bali games and of his feats on gym l apparatus.
 Those were "the good old days" | and Warren Slater played a leading . role in making them 50 for the city's youth. Even before he made sports a business, he contributed to the fun of local games with his playing and antics on the basketball court. Al score of years ago about every kid in town knew Slater and looked on him as their idol.
 In 1917 he taught swimming toA the marines at Quanico, Va, where' he was regarded with almost as much favor as in New Britain. The old Devil Doss' didn't care espe- cially for the muddy Potomac, wheres the lessons took place but. since It. Col. Hike 'em" Hiram Bearse had ordered that "eyery damn one in the Sixth regiment must learn to swim, . they took their medicine and wanted Slater to join up with them.
 After the war. Warren got tho
 wanderlust that had urged him to, travel around the country on other
 occasions and he pulled up stakes and went to the Pasadena r. M. c. A.
 much to the regret of his followers
 here. He received big send-off as
 he started west.
 His athletic ability and his per-
 sonality secured him immediate suc-
 cess in California. About three years ago he moved to Glendale. A year
 axo he broke his arm in a fall in the gymnasium there and it was feared that his career might be end
 ed But good doctors and time have made him as agile as ever. A short time ago, his car was smashed up while he was driving 1t but he soon recovered from the effects of the &C., cident.
 Squash -handball, as its name indi- cates, Is a combination of two court games. In general, handbsll rules : apply and a small racquet Is used, , On the west coast, the game has
 met with popular approval and
 championship contests are held each
 year.

San Antonio, Tex, March II P The New York Giants are in for one batting session after another until they find their hitting eyes. John McGraw is bit peeved over the weak stickUork his team has displayed so far.
 The Giants got only nine hits In their first game with the UniVer- sity of Texas and were blanked for seven innings by kid pitcher. They made only 12 hits in two games with the Chicago White SoX. The absence of Freddy Lindstrom and Bill Terry has been big factor in the teams lack of punch.

FINAL TWO GAMES [ IN CHURCH LEAGUE
Windup Due Tonight-kRlsy
 Grasps Scoring Lead

The Junior Church basketball league season will be completed this evening with two games to be play ed at the Y. M.'C. A. beginning at 7:45 o'clock. The First Baptists. tail-enders. will oppose the runner up First Lutherans in the first go of the night, while the last game of the schedule will bring together the Trinity Methodist and championship South Congregational quintets.
 The Lutherans are long favorites to take the measure of the Baptists. as they have played quite consistent ly good ball all season and have 1 strong team. The Baptists havs been improving as the winter pro- gressed, but they are still not fig ured to have a look-in with the Swedes. They hope, however, to upset the dopesters tonight and end the season with a surprise triumph. The South Church has already clnched the league title, so tonight's game will be merely in the nature of an opportunity for the Method ists to break the Congregationalists perfect record. They are doped as having a good chance of doing this, | for they have been coming along rapidly and have developed a good scoring combination which set a league record last week. The cham pions, however, turned back the Trinity team once and are hopeful of doing it again tonight. Their chances of doing so depend largely upon their ability to stop keeley, and the spirit of the Congregational ists is shown by the fact that all members of the team are clsmor- ing for the chance to try this.
 Keeley Takes Lead
 Howard Keeley's wild scoring splurge of last week carried him a bare two points past Harold Hult- berg of the First Lutherans and gave the Methodist forward the lead in the individual point making race, He now has a total of 103 points by virtue Of the II field goals made against the Baptists while Hultbers was idle. Hultberg will have his chance against this team tonight while keeley will face the South Church, giving the Swedish star s slight edge in the predictions of the final outcome.
 Dan Wosilus and Francis Hattings of the South church were idle las, week but retained third and fourth places, respectively. while Harold Bengtson of the Swedes remained ir fifth position despite the fact thai his team did not play.
 keeley is leading in field goal' with 4S to Hultberg's 45, while tn, foul shooting lead of Bernie Wosilu of the South church remained un !, disturbed last week.
