HUGE
FOR BOOk|ES

Do you know it costs a book
maker, operating in the club
houses of the New York tracks,
something like $3.50 a day to con-
duct his store?
Usually a slip-Snatcher has a
cashier, a check-up man, who
stands alongside while he quotes
odds, about two tabulators, three
runner" who roam around to
watch and report betting action
and also he has a clocker,
maybe two of them.
Including himself, that's a nine
or ten-man staff. Railroad fare
to the track, plus $3.50 club
house commission and incidentalS,
make the daily cost $40 per man
or about $50 for the group.
The hired help" for a club
house bookie costs $40 per day.
meaning $16O for the eight work.
ers, and then you have a grand
total of $3.50 that the odds-quoter
must deal out before he can
open his shop.
Some days he wins-and some
days he doesn't. However. it is
not yet time to weep for the
bookieS.

Mcnamara was star hneman at
Georgetown University when that
school boasted such gridders as
Rudy Comstock, Paul Florence,
Bill Goggins, Carl Wertz, Bill
Kenyon, Jack Flavin, Bullet"
Lowe, Paul Byrne, zube Sullivan,
etc.
Later he coached with success
at Dewitt Prep and accepted the
post as athletic director at the
Jewish Community Center where
he developed formidable teams
in boxing and wrestling.
Loses as Substitute
The idea of turning wrestler
first struck Mcnamara, or Jim,
as most everyone knows this big
and genial fellow, when such
grapplers as Joe Turner, the
smartest of them all; Rudy Dusek,
Dick Shikat, Tiny Roebuck,
George Romanoff and others did
their training at the Jewish
community NGuCCl.
One day this past summer, Pro
moter Turner asked Jim If he
would go on as a substitute in
match with Son Jennings at the
Griffith Stadium. Jim, knowing
he was unprepared, accepted be-
cause Of his friendship for Turner.
The result was inevitable. Nc
Namara was green, just begin
ming, and Jennings. taking ad-
vantage of his foes inexperience,
rubbed it in. All Jim wants is
another crack at Jennings and
he hopes Turner bills them in a
feature match at the Auditorium.
FavOTite in Boston
Since then, Mcnamara has been
doing most of his wrestling in
Boston, Mass, where he is adver-
tised as Officer Tom McNamara'S s
Boy" Jim is from Somerville,
Mass, close by Boston, and the
Hub Irish are solid for him.
Mcnamara has lost but one
match in Boston and that TO
MatroS Kirilenko. the Russian. He
wants to meet Kirilenko again,
either here or in Boston.
The former Georgetown foot
baller has improved immensely
since his match with Jennings.
Local fans can judge for them
selves tomorrow night.
Friends to Pull for Him
One thing is certain. Jim will
have a host of friends on hand
at the Auditorium tomorrow.
He's regarded as a local boy and

ALPHA BOWLERS
GAIN LEAD

Members of the Alph:. Chapter
bowling team, of the Alpha Iota
Kappa fraternity, have carried
around a secret ambition ever
since the start of the pin season.
And that ambition was to lead
the Fraternity Duckpin League,
of which they are member. To
day they lead this circuit after six
weeks of battling, even though it
is only by three percentage points.
Last night the alpha boys, led
by Dick Harvey, who tied high
game of the league for the season
with a total of 146, took two from
Sigma Lambda M to advance
into the lead. Sigma Delta. the
former leaders, dropped two to
Phi Sigma Chi, to bring this
about.
The new leaders engage Sigma
Delta next week in a set OF games
which really will be for blood.
Alpha's hopes are centered on this
coming set.
Kappa Sigma Chapter, A. S. L.
took three from Chi Sigma Chap
ter, A. S. L.; Kappa Phi dupli-
Gated over Phi Delta zeta, while
Sigma Phi Chapter, A. S. L., won
six games from Eta Chapter. A.

night.
Ed Cotter remains the leading
bowler in the loop. He totaled

TASK BEFORE
=. GARDNER,
COACH
By GARRETT WATERS

ny UARAEkI WA GASO
A small, light basketball team
win take the floor at Georgetown
Prep this season. This sort OF
combination is the best offtimeS,
and for this reason, Coach Gard
ner at the Garret Park institu'
ton is not worrying too much
over the dark situation.
Another thing at Georgetown
Prep this year is the fact that
only one man from last seasons
team is at hand, he being Maurice
Nee. forward.
Eight men have graduated since
1930.31. Thev include Captain
Heekin, forward; O'Brien, center;
Talbot, Moor and Murphy,
guards; and McFadde: and O'Cal-
aghan, forwards.
~ HeekiT.'s Los, Felt
The team will feel the loss Of
Heekin most. This lad was
marked a. one of the best play
ers ever turned out at George
town Prep because of his splendid
performance at all times. Heekin
had an unusually accurate eye for
the basket and brought this out
by averaging abouS 1S points per
game for the season.
Filling Heekin'S place will be
Coach Gardner's most important
problem this year. He hopes he
has the man in the following col
lection of candidates out for posi-
tions as forwards: Albert Heegin.
Tom Heating and Bill Stewart.
Maurice Nee is also included in
this list.
Center Post Open
Gardner must fill another very
important position if his team ex,
poets to make commendable
showing. That position is center.
O'Brien was a pretty good man
last year, and his vacancy leaves
as big q hole in the teams line
up, if not bigger, as that left
open by the graduation of Heekin.
Joe Nurre and Edwin Donohue
are showing up well in the daily
drills, however. Both are fast,
although small and light. Nurre
probably looks the shade better
than Donohue, who really is best
at a forward position.
Open Against Dewitt
Francis Allan. Don Mcnamara,
Johnny Finn, Joe Sheehan, and
George Cannon complete the col
lection of candidates out for the
team. Everyone of these players
are guards.
Georgetown Prep opens its sea-
son next Wednesday in game
against Dewitt Prep. This Skin
miSh will be played in the Gar
rett Park gymnasium, and it will
also mark the debut Of the Dewitt
PrepperS.

 "Jack Thornton! It's been ages!" She held out her hand to Jack and her eyes seemed to draw him into some remote past that had been distinctly agreeable.

 Sue admitted that she did not golf. She did not add that she had never had neither money or time for it.
 The conversation drifted to bridge.
 Any good at contract?" Joe asked Sue again. "I'm just getting the hang of the game myself We're playing after dinner"
 "Good!" another guest chimed in. Now that's what I call a worth while evening"
 "You would" Joe's husband, Malcolm Dexter, joined in. "You have a strange habit of making everybody turn his pocketbook in- side out. But my game's picked up considerably"
 Make 1t low enough. Remember I'm living on my salary now. My allowance isn't any more," Jack answered. "I haven't played for ." He wrinkled his forehead. T don't know when I've played"

Chicago-There is a back to the home movement on in Chicago and it's centered in high schools amongst the boys.
 Nor are they afraid of telling about their accomplishments, talk ing no thought of being called "sissies'. To them, domestic at- tainments are not only "woman's job" and do not necessarily indi- cate a leaning toward bachelor hood.
 The discovery of the culinary ability was made by a south side high school editor with a nose for news. He began a survey among his classmates.

If you have nice ears, make the most of them. For ears are the vogue this season! With the new Eugenie hats. one ear is sure to show and the chances are they both will.
 Don't let your powdering and creaming end at your hairline in from of your ears, but carry each process backward over them, giv- ing them the same care that you do the rest of your features.
 Massage-the same gentle kind you use on your face-is excellent for them, as are your facial creams and astringents. If you have dainty little ears, comb your hair high on your head. However, if you sincerely feel that they are try wearing your hair anywhere but over them.
 Be sure that your ears are met iculously clean inside and out. Soap and water followed by cleans ing cream, twice a day, is the rule. Never allow cosmetics to remain on them over night, for they'll become unattractive just as your face would if it were neglected in that fashion.
 If your ears are too large, ad- just your coiffure to cover part of them. and don't forget that ear rings of the proper shape and size can make your ears smaller or larger. A large earring of the but ton type will reduce the size Of an ear, and the long, taperinE. hanging kinds will add length to the ears as we'll as to the face.
 For street wear 1t seems in best taste, to cover your ears, but for evening, you can expose all Cr part of them without feeling con spicuous.

 The dining room was long room, too, heavily paneled with oak, quite like baronial hall. The lights were misty golden affairs, and the roses in low amber bowls had a golden touch. The dishes had gold decorations and the knives and forks and spoons were gold plated, too.

If there only were just one hu- man sort of person with whom she could talk. Jack had been seat ed on the other side of the ta- ble, several places down.
