Recreation of St. Louis hit consist
entity in the 900 division to total

1,O06 and 1913 for a 2,827 and
seventh place, while eighth spot was
taken by orr-Kolkschneider
Lager of ST. Louis, with games of
827, $50 and 1908 for 2,819.
During yesterdays afternoon roll
ing, L DumaT and L. Foster, of

tire amateur league. This unique
game will be played in the usual
four twelve-minute periods. and in

Malone in
Fine Form

United Press stan pendent

Los ANGELES, March 19.-Perce
eat Malone, bad boy Of the Chicago
Cubs who was placed on the trad
ing block last winter ana offered TO
every club III the league, with no
takers, is making a determined ef-
fort to get back IL the good graces
Of his employers, and regain the
form which made him one of the
best right-handed pitchers in the
National League TWO years ago.
During the ten days the Cubs
spent at Catalina island. Malone
worked as hard as any player on
the club Wearing a rubber shirt
to melt of his excess pOundage,
Malone set the pace tor all the
pitchers. Guy Bush. Lon Warneke
and some OF the other members Of
the Cubs pitching staff reported
in good condition and were ready to
pitch after a few days training.
The training camp wasn't a drudge
Tor them as it was Tor Malone, who
never spared himself III the daily
four-hOur workouts.
Malone has convinced me that
he means business said Manager
Charley Grimm. and I'm glad he's
back with the Cubs. There's no
reason why he can't pitch good
baseball yet if he makes up his
mind TO dO it."
For three years Malone was one
OF the Cubs mainstays. He won
twenty-five games and lost five in
1929 and helped the Cubs capture
the pennanC. He won twenty games
and lost nine in 1880 and won SIX
teen and lost nine in 1881 His
downfall started in 1892 when he
won only fifteen games while losing
seventeen. Last year he won ten
and lost fourteen, his worst year
since he came up. in 1928.
Malone was a brief hCldOut last
winter but when he heard the Cubs
We're through with him and had
placed him on the block. he changed
his mind.
In Malone's first appearance
against the White Sox Saturday, he
pitched three innings and allowed
only enc hit. He retired nine men
to face him. striking out six of
them
Malone looks like the great
pitcher Of a couple of years ago"
said Grimm, after this exhibition.
IF he keeps in the right frame of
mind he'll have a great year. I be-
Heve. He Is in fine condition.

Aqua CALIENTE, Mex, March
19.-Gallant Sir, pride Of the North

Of the greatest Of current thorough

cutive victory in the Aqua Caliente
Handicap.
No other horse ever was tWO-time
winner in this far western classic.
The big bay 5-year-old's victory
yesterday was made more impressive
because he carried a record weight

he established last April 2. His time
was POP 40 on a fast track
Seven horses raced for the $23, 800

total earnings to $114,890. He paid
the prohibitive odds of 2 to 5. He
paid $3.50 in the 81 straight mutuels.
His place and show prices were $500.
Riskulus, a stable mate who was
second, paid the same place price,
and Leroy Kings Pari Mutuel, five
lengths behind Riskulus. paid the
same $500 to show.

THEY had swept through an al
Il most sensational regular net
campaign, and ground tough oppo-
sition into the hardwood to win
their chance in the big tourney.
And through it they had Stormed
against some Of the best cage talent
in the state to emerge as an even
money fnalist against Logansport.
True, the Berries had admins
tered one of the two previous regu-
lar season defeats to the Campbell
men, but it had come on a night
when the great Johnny Townsend
was sidelining with an injury. This
battle, they felt, would be differ
ent affair.
II OGANSPORT deserved its vic
L. tory by dint Of mechanical pre-
cision plus the inspiration Of gen.
ius. That's the stuff that makes
champions, and the Berries were
plastered with it from the initial
whistle.
In the first place the Logans bot
tied up Johnny Townsend, a diff
cult feat, but one which other quin-
tets have accomplished, as Logan
sport did, with two good men. Back
board still hangs to the belief that
there's not a man in the state Or
out of it, who can stop the giant
Tech center without aid.
In the second place, the Berries
did something that other teams who
have sacrificed two men on Johnny
were unable to achieve. They
halted Townsend without weaken
ing their defense against the other
four Tech men, and without shaw
ing an ounce Of the steam from
their driving offensive power.
And, thirdly, the Berries Snatched
an opening lead that would have
driven almost any quintet into the
cave Of despair, but which, while it
contained the margin of victory,
failed to stop the Big Green's fight.
THERE is no attempt to alioi
L the game in the assertion that
Tech was beaten in the first quar-
ter. The Berries were clicking as
probably they have not clicked all
season. They took the first tipof
and scored. They repeated within
the minute, and built up { ten
point lead before Tech could break
into the scoring column. From
then on Tech dug in, and the two
Quintets battled evenly, the Big
Green crawling up to within four
points of the Berries only to see
Logansport break out with another
scoring rash and take a lead that
changed little throughout the re-
mainder of the contest.
Blackboard is not sorry he rode
with Tech. His only disappoint-
ment is in that Logansport's best
game of the year had to come
against the Big Green in the state
tourney finals. Nevertheless, he
congratulates Cliff Wells and his
men on a splendid game.

On the other side were Cliff Wells boys,
LITERALLY armed TO the teeth,
With natural skill and clever tricks. to

The game had hardly started when the
Berries scored four points,
Then dear old Tech took time out. to get
the kinks out of their joints.
BY the time the quarter ended, scorebOard
showed Tech eight behind,
Then the Wells boys slowed down a bit,
Just TO show that they we're kind.
Again and again sine Tech Cffense dashed
But, alas, friend Horstman waiting there,
refused to let them score.
1t was from HOrstman down to Insley,
back to Fawcett, then to Smith.
And they used the clever side-block the
play they scored most with.
