St. Patrick League Bowling Notes

Eddie Loftus, popular Brooklyn pinner is leading the league ac- cording to the official figures re- leased today. Loftus Is hitting for an, average of 112.21 which is con- sidered to be good bowling in any language. Eddie Is also the claim ant for high three honors with a total pinfall of 406 for three games. High single credit Is given Frank Hardy, known to the boys as Ted, who has a 155 game. Both incidentally, are team captains.
 The league race at this date is considered to be closer than ever before in the history of the circuit. Johnny Delaney has his lads up on top. They are one game ahead of the Loftus team and two up over Mike Driscoll and Cy Dunphy. Con- siderable interest is manifested in the outcome of the games oh Mon- day evening.
 On behalf of the St Patrick bowlers we salute Our Lady of Lourdes' parish league rollers who will be our opponents at the Grand alleys tomorrow beginning at 6 o'clock. Both leagues will show twenty men. The match will open home and home series, the re- turn games of which will take place at St Joseph's drive shortly after New Years.
 Flash-We have been informed by carrier pigeon that the reason Johnny Delaney is the leading team captain is because his mates have caught their rivals short handed. They have been rolling five men against three right along. Maybe the fans won't think so much of Delaney with this piece of news.

PACIFIC COAST
LEAGUE GAMES
By United Press

Los Angeles, easy winner of
the first half Of the Pacific Coast
leagues split season, paid no atten-
ton to the new deal" demanded
by weaker teams Tuesday. The An
gels walloped Portland IA to 5 on
the Beaver S soil as the second half
opened.
The bed-ridden Mission club stole
10 to Z game from Sacramento;
Seattle trimmed San Francisco 6 to
2, and Hollywood stopped Oakland
IL to 6.
Fay Thomas limited the Beavers
10 five hits and the Angels "mur-
derers' row. was all-powerful at
bat. Twenty hits were counted off
Bryan, including LIZARDS home run
in the eighth. The hapless Beavers
made four errors in the night tilt.
Seattle was held in check by Le-
roy Hermann until the seventh.
when four runs came in TO break a
deadlock. Herman Pillette gave the
Seals 10 hits compared with nine
for the Indians.
The Mission club spotted Sacra-
mento four runs in the first inning

inning alone. Wildness of Vinci and
Salvo, who walked eight men in the
seventh, allowed the victory because
in that frame the Reds got only two
hits, one Of which was knocked
down by an infielder The Reds were
outhit, II to 7.
Like Mission, Hollywood spotted
Oakland four runs in the first in

victory. They got l6 safeties of
Douglas and Salinsen, including
Jolley's home run in the fourth
when five runs came in. Sheehar

DUGAN
To Win OVER
NJ CULLOUCH

After local fans got a look at Dixie
Dugan in action last Friday night,
Mccullough has become the under
dog in the local betting, it was
learned this morning. This will be
the first time that Art has not en-
tered the ring favorite to win.
The local heavy is training this
week on defense for a left hook.
Dugan is principally a DEft hooker
and hits his man SO fast and so Of
ten that the average fighter has no
time to get set for any hard punch
ing in return.
Kenny Reed after his two fights
here needs no introduction. His ag-
gressive fighting has made him a
favorite here. In Mexican Kid Cho-
colate he is meeting a boy who is
rated by coast boxing authorities to
win, but local fans will string along
with Reed
Joe Gotta, the Mexicali ace is
training at the local arena and
looks very good. Joe fights Eddie o.
Neal in the six round special. This
should be a real fight because al
though ONeal was stopped here last
week he holds decisions over both
Leyvas and Villareal in Arizona.
The two light heavyweights who
open the show in q four-round bout
are both local boys. Mel Perkins,
former eastside school boy and Bud
Richardson, McCullough's sparring
partner. This should send the rest
of the card off to a good start.

WIMBLEDON, Eng, June 81. =
Probably the most popular English
summer sport. and one which en-
joys even more followers than crick-
ct, is nightingale-listening-to As its
name indicates, nightingale-listen-
ing-to or simply niShtingaling, as it
is known generally. consists of get
ting ones ears within range of a
nightingale and hearing it sing.
There are three accepted ways of
playing the game. The first, which is
limited almost entirely to elderly
folk, calls for nothing more spirited
than sitting in an arm chair in
front Of radio and waiting for the
brcadcasting companies to bring the
notes of the bird over the air. The
broadcasters accomplish this by
sprinkling the trees of forest
where nightingales are thought to be
nesting with microphones, and
keeping the air free until one cuts
loose.
The second method is to look in
the morning papers under Might
ingale Notes and find where a bird
is singing. Many of the papers are
said to employ spoilers" whose sole
work is to locate singers. The Times,
for example, today carried this:
"A nightingale has been singing
for about four hours each night
from tree just off the main road
at Leighton Buzzard"
The disadvantage in this method,
however, is that you must reach the
appointed tree hours ahead to be
certain of vantage point. Get there
late and you find yourself blocked
by hundreds of nightingale-listen-
ers-toers, and forced to stand SO far
away you couldn't hear bald eagle
scream. Furthermore, it is not at all
uncommon for a nightingale to be-
come disguised with such publicity
and refuse to hit a note.
The third, and by far the most
satisfying way, is to plunge into the
woods and find your own nightin-
gale. You are not often successful
for nightingales are not perched
around on every other limb. But
when you find one it is a tremen-
dous thrill.
Too, one must have a cello, for
without cello your chances of
finding a nightingale, and getting it
to sing, are practically nil. The usual
procedure is to move softly about in
the woods until you locate a tree
that looks like the kind of tree
nightingales would choose. Pick a

NEW YORK. June 27.--The roar

doomed again today as Charlie
Grimm's campaigners blasted away
another sector in their drive to the

been pulling, and he jerked so hard
Hank was wearing Giant clothes
when the game with the Cards
started.
Grimm set July 4 as the day when
the Cubs must be on top. The rumor
that Jack Lelivelt of Los Angeles is
coming east to apply the lash to
the Cubs If Grimm doesn't get re-
suits. seems to have taken effect.
Yesterday they bowled over Brook
