 New York, March 27 =. (UP)- Putting the sports shots here and there: Lionel Hitchman, veteran Boston Bruins defenst player. learned how to "get his man" as a member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Elmer Dean, Dizzy's brother, has been signed by the Houston Buffaloes of the Texas league. Elmer, who played for Dardanelles, Ark, deep in the Ozarks, last year, says he Is a fright smart country ball player" Bill Tilden says there are 100 men tennis players who could trim Mrs Helen Wills Moody. %
 Leon Galore, who pitched for Brooklyn in that 26.inning game with the Boston Braves in 1920. is now a miner in Clarks Fork, Idaho. A son of Fritz Pollard, one-time negro, All-American foot ball player at Brown, now rated os the best all-round high school ath- lete in Chicago. John McGraw missed training this spring for the first time in 43 years. Floyd Vaughan will be the outstanding shortstop in the big leagues this year, according to Hans Wagner, stop himself.
 Jimmy Johnston thinks Tony Shucco, who whipped Billy Jones at the Garden Friday night, will be the next light-heavyweight champion. Maxie Rosenbloom. travelled 73,000 miles to box thirty times in 25 cities in 1882. Times being what they are, Maxie does most of his travelling by car. '. !. and does he push Q car! .. .Not so long ago he hopped the 1,400 miles between Milwaukee and New York with only an hours sleep.
 What has become of Babe Did rikson? The Dallas gal prob ably has been forced into retire. ment by lack of feminine competi- tion. :. Jimmy Britt once of fered $50 to any fighter who could knock off his monocle. Sydney Franklin, who ought to know, says the most sensitive part of a bulls anatomy are the extreme tips of his horns. Blondy Ryan, rookie shortstop of the New York Giants once threw 60-yard pass that gave Holy Cross a football victory OVcT f1dFVdTU.
 Bill Terry, manager of the Giants is determined his men shall take the well-dressed prize this year. :. Lucky" shirts, caps, socks, etc., have been banned. If the Giants must wear good luck charms they must be of a size that won't affect the looks of their playing uniforms. The ruling was a blow to Carl Hub bell and the flaming red shirt he has worn years. Babe Ruth is aiming for AS homers this year. This number would give him an even 700 in league games. Charley Devens, who learned the game at Harvard, is ping pong champion of the Yankees.
 Steamboat Johnson, the Bill Klem of Southern League umpires, has had as many stitches taken as Ching Johnson. .Steamboat's head is covered with scars from pop bottle wounds. Johnson says every scar is the result of an honest decision. Dazzy Vance's contract with the Cardinals calls for bonus
 if he wins certain number of | games.

 Yesterday afternoon, in the first game of the championship play off, the Hills went home with their third strip of bacon and a seven- point victory, 37-30, scored at the brick Frigidaire on Phoenix avenue before sos paid admissions, and the usual collection of friends or Annie Oakley, including your hum- ble correspondent.
 Back and Forth
 Both teams made sensational comebacks which brought out the cheers of their followers in a con tinuity that kept the players on series of long and short shots gave the Hills an 11-point lead at half time, 19-S, and it looked as if Brooklyn had about as much chance of catching them as tur- tie trying to nip jackrabbit. But many things can happen in basket ball. At the outset of the fourth and final period, the Brooklyns had picked up seven of their II point disadvantage and Carrolrs hoop put them within basket or knotting the count.
 Pulled Away Again
 Confidence, born of their two previous wins over the Dumschott crew was still alive, and, combined with natural aggressiveness, the Hills went to work and popped 4 hoops in no time at all, giving them a nirle-point lead again. A team that can do that is of cham pionship quality and the Hills were all that yesterday. It is true that Brooklyn did have a large number of roll-outs of the type of shots that might just as well have fallen in, but it was the strong at- tack of the Hills plus the ineffec- tiveness of either Swasey or Dunn to cope with Jim Tracy at center that beat the Brooklyns. When one player can score IA points in a game like that one, it's not hard luck that beat the losers, for the Brooklyns had every chance in the world during the final period, but were not there in the pinch.
 The better team won and that's all there Is to 1t, for the Hills have outclassed the Brooklyns completely in two of the three games played this season. Indi- vidually, 1t was Tracy, Mccormack and Lallier that stood out on of- fense, while Joe Cavanaugh's de. fensive play was just about all that could be desired. For Brook lyn, Magner's play on both offense and defense stood out like 8 sore thumb, the former high school and college courtster getting eight points, and holding Howie Kraft to a pair of baskets. Carroll also garnered eight markers but could not get near the hoop for any short ones. Twelve of the losers 30 points were checked on foul tries. but they were outscored 16 to from the floor, long shots featuring the game. The score:-

3O-HOUR WORK
WEEK BACKED
Federation of Labor Chief
Cites Surprising Figures
on Night Shifts.

By rippS-HOtcard Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-Surpris-
ing figures to show that some indus
tries still are working long hours
and engaged in night shift opera
tons we're presented to a senate
subcommittee Thursday by Presia
dent William Green of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, in express
ing whole hearted support for the
bill by Ssenator Black Dem., AlaO
to establish the thirty-hour week in
industry.
Green asserted vehemently that
the shorter work week is the only
answer to unemployment and the
problem of stabilizing industry. The
mechanization OF industry, he de-
clared, has Injured almost wholly to
the benefit of the employer and to
the detriment of labor.
With 100000 persons out of
work today, according to the latest
tabulation, he asserted, little more
than half of them could be absorbed
back into employment under the
present system, even were the peak
prosperity of 1929 restored over
night.
Department of labor statistics for
1882, he said, show that in the
cotton goods trade, the f1fty-five-
hour week predominated. Out OF
154 firms, he pointed out, SO per cent
worked the f1fty-five-h hour week and
&c per cent were on night shifts. In
wooden goods, the average full-time
work week was more than fifty
hours, and in hosiery, the full-time
standard was a work week of a frac-
ton more than 5112 hours.
