it in no few instances have no

the real credit is due is never

What got us TO thinking
along this line, is the lengthy
discussion one will hear around

the name of Joe Cronin, the

NAVAL AIR
TOMORROW

Skinker Eages and Stewart
Brothers Photographers, Standouts
in the current Washington Basket
ball League race, are to entertain
service opponents tomorrow night.
At Silver Spring Armory, $3.50
o'clock, Skinker's tossers are to
stack up against Naval Air Sta
ton. Marine Barracks is sched-
uled to oppose Stewart Brothers
at Silver Spring High School.
Although an odds on favorite to
register over Naval Air, Skinker
Brothers will be fighting every
minute. BY stopping the sailors
Bernie Peacock's basketers will go
into deadlock with French-R.F.P.
for the leagues leadership.
Improvement Shown
Though beaten in its three
starts to date Naval Air boasts a
rugged, hard-fighting club and will
be prepared to battle every inch
of the way when the whistle
blows.
Stew. rt Brothers, still well in
the championship running as
result of last weeks surprising
overthrow of Census, will meet
an improved Marine Barracks
quintet.
Against Census EnumeratorS
Saturday night the Marines
flashed periodical bursts of speed
and are hopeful of showing to
still better advantage against the
Photographers.
Hot Battle
Wednesday night finds one OF
the most interesting duels of the
week lined up for Immaculate
Conception Hall. On that occa-
sion Buck Grier's promising North
ern Red Birds are to lock up with
Anacostia Eagles at $3.50 o'clock.
Neither the NOrtherns nor
AnacoStianS have punctured the
win column yet. Nevertheless
both have shown sufficient
power to warrant the respectful
consideration of every team in
league competition.
BY way of rounding out a full
weekend the Little Eagles are to
clash with Marine Barracks in a
postponed game at Silver Spring
High School Friday night and
come right back against Census at
Immaculate Saturday.

BLUEGE
To REMAIN
On JOB

NEW YORK. Jan. 26.-Of the
1e men who played third base
for the major league teams dur
ing all or the greater part of
last season, only six are certain
to hold down the hot corner
assignment this year.
Three Did reliables will be on
the job in each league They
are Pie TraYnor, of the Pirates;
Pinky Whitney, Of the Phlllles;
Wally Gilbert, of Brooklyn;
Jimmy Dykes. Of the Athletics;
Ossie Bluege, of Washington, and
Marty McManus, Of Detroit.
The boldest experiment will
be made by John McGraw, Of
the Giants. Mac will start
Johnny Vergez, a recruit from
Oakland, Calf, at third and
send Freddy Lindstcom to the
outfield, where right-handed
hatsman of ability is needed.
To Experiment
Sam Breadon, of the Cardinals,
who tried in vain to get Traynor,
Linstrom or Whitney in a trade,
vii give Eddie Delker. Rochester
recruit, every chance to supplant
the veteran Sparky Adams at the
hot corner. Delker was i'll last
summer and did not get a real
tryout with st. Louis.
If Lester Bells dead arm can
be revived, he will play third
base for the Cubs and Woody
English will be shifted back to
shOrtstop.
Dan Howley will be playing
checkers with his Cincinnati in
field. Joe Strip, who can play
first, second or third, will be
relieved of his first base duties
by Mickey Heath, obtained from
Hollywood. 1t has not been de-
cided whether Strip or Tony
Cucinello will be at third base.
Charley Wilson, utility infielder
from Rochester, and Walter
Dresser, from Springfield, will
give chunky little Buster Chat
ham plenty of competition for the
third base job on the Boston
Braves.
Leaves Gap
In the American League, the
release of Joe Sewell leaves a
gap at Cleveland's hot corner
which will be filled by Ralph
Winegarner, George Detore or
Johnny Burnett. Willie Kamm,
once without a superior at third
base, is in the bad graces OF
Donnie Bush, manager of the
White Sox, and may be replaced
by Chalmers Cissell, who previ-
ously played at Shortstop and
second base.
The Sox certainly ought to
get a lot of third basing out
of this pair, because their pur-
chase set the club back 1928 900,
enough to buy a whole team.
Third base experiments made
late in the 1880 season will be
continued by St. Louis and
New York, with Ralph Kress
playing the bag for the Browns
and Lazzeri for New York.
Kress originally was a short
stop and LaZzeri a second base
man.
Shane Collins, new pilot of the
Boston Red Sox, has decided to
try Jack Rothrock, outfielder and
general handy man, at third
base, Three men we're alter
mated at the position last season
without success.

GU Va HAWJ AAAS
Six years ago our hero was the
captain of the University OF
Illinois football eleven-the team
that swept the nation like black
plague. And the reason-Red
Grange was playing on it.
Imagine that! Captain OF the
team, but a captain who must
have been crushed as week after
week the great stands roared a
mighty chant of Grange, Grange,
Grange!" In game after game
this man led his team to victory,
only to find himself fortunate II
he escaped injury as the mad
mobs swept the field seeking to
see the great Grange, clawlng
and paving their way to pat his
back, to touch his headgear, TO
shout his name.
Sensational Rise
Tonight this man who played
second fiddle to Red Grange gets
his big chance. Red Oranges
old captain, a more po"e1Aully
built athlete than Grange ever
was, grabs opportunity by the
fetlock in a battle to become a
champion in his own right and
to be a hero in his own, not
reflected glory, to become a real
captain with no one to snatch
the cheers.

The stiffly waved, curlicued Golf

their hair in marcels that cling
closely to the lines of the head,
framing an open brow and just re-

whole thing being finished in rolls
or curls at the nape Of the neck.
A thousand new style devices
have been launched, as aids to sim

HOT WEATHER EATING

URING the hot sultry days of
~ midsummer and early autumn
the less of heat producing foods
we eat, the cooler and more serene
we will be, both physically and
mentally. Galleries produce fat, heat
and energy. We need some to keep
us popped up for the ordinary ac-
tivities, but it is safe to cut down
on the heat producing foods. Vita

Children who don't like milk will
often take it in the form of malt
ed milk chocolate, if straws are
used. The combination of straws
and foam on the top of a glass seem
to be irresistible, to the youth as
well as those older.
A fresh, tasty sandwich with a
cool drink of fruit juice or milk in
various forms is a lunch which will
sustain and soothe the tired and
heated body on a hot day. The
lazy summer appetites can fire.
