ShoWered the altar with a blanket Of

The poll matched Dizzy's flight of fancy concerning Dizzy.
 His 30 victories in the National League campaign that nded with the cardinals in the World Series; his comeback in the deciding game to whip the Tigers for the cham pionship after being hit on the head while carrying out his idea of the worlds greatest baaertinncr in action, and his inspiration, all are cited by the editors.
 WOtta Man!
 Dizzy predicted all along that the Cardinals would be in the series, then predicted he would pitch them to the championship. Thmese prophetic visions were not overlooked by the editors. He is one of the few great athletes who ail- nounces to the world what he will do and then geese out and does it, many pointed out.
 Dizzy's closest comp etit0r and he was way back with 90 votes4-- was w. Lawson Little.
 Little barged out of 0bscurity to win the British Amateur totiftaa- ment with a record-sn1ashihg score and continued with more aiiaazifig PeE1OIMAuC0 lu UCCOIu1u8 bn0 third to hold both the British and American amateur championship in the history of golf.
 Lou Gehrig, who won virtually all hitting and slugging honors in the. American League, fieided near ly perfect and broke the previous iron man record by plpaytne in 1,604 games, was t hird with IA votes.
 On The List
 Fred Perry, the Englishnan who rules the world tennis roost, was ranked fourth with 10 votes; Schoolboy Rowe of the Detroit Ti- gers, received six votes based large ly on his 16 wins in a row fo tie the American League record. Six also were cast for Glenn Cunning hams track performances and for Max Baer's knockout over Camera for the heavyweight title. Barney Ross, the lightweight champion, who also won and lost the welter title during the year, and Jack Terrence, L. s. U. shot-putter, re- ceived four votes and two went to Sidney B. Wood for his tennis, Jack Manders' kicking for the Chicago Bears of professional football, Mickey Cochrane for his leader ship and catching for Detroit's Tigers, and to Henry Cotton for winning the British Open.

Wilby Classy in
 Plainvile Win

Exhibiting brand of team work and passing that was a bit sur- prising for the opening game of the season, Wilby high schools hoop team took well-earned 3s-24 games from Plainville high Satur- day evening and set themselves for a tilt with Leavenworth tomorrow night in the Crosby gym. A tall and speedy team with the excep- ton of Saldukas who makes up in speed what he lacks in height. Wilby was crowded most of the way by Plainville but came through nicely during the final half of the game to win handily.
 Pomponio, Sullivan, Frank Car- rington, Saldukas and Stolfi looked like a fine combination that will win plenty of games for Wilby this season while Johnson and Grifiths stood out for the visitors. Plain- vile Reserves dropped an over- time game to Wilby 15-14. sum- mary:

Orcutts Defeat
 Boys Club Jrs

Playing orcutt Boys Club of Bridgeport, the local clubs rep- resentative in the state league lost their opening game of the league Saturday afternoon in Bridge port.
 At half time the local team held the upper score, but in the closing period the league champs of the past two years proved far too fast for them. Due to a major automo- bile breakdown between here and Bridgeport half of the local team was left stranded, and Physical Director Ted O'Connell had to carry but five men for the entire contest.
 Next Saturday afternoon the To- cal team will stack up against Middle Street Boys Club of Bridge port in their second game of the league. The game will be played on the local clubs surface.

RISH-AMERICANS. BROOKLYNS AND
 TRIBUNES WIN
Plenty of Action During Shortened City League
 Games
BY GEORGE T. DILLON

The Irish-Americans, Tribunes knd Brooklyn A. c. retained clean nlates in the City Amateur league yesterday in the third Sunday af- tern0on basketball menu, defeating the Naugatuck Emeralds, 29 to 19, Thomas club, 23 to 22, and Sacred Hearts, 33 to 2S, respectively, as 450 fans watched proceedings dur ing six sixteen minutes experiment tai halves which proved satisfac- tory and which should be put into vogue every Sabbath afternoon.
 All games were Interesting, especially the second which saw Eddie Bagley's Sacretd Hearts throwing real scare into the Brooklyn camp. The initial offer ing, which the box scores indicate as close contest, was wild shoot ing affair with teamwork being thrown to the winds in preference to Lady Luck. The main attrac- tion saw Bill Gaughan's Irish Amerks, strengthened by the addi- tion of Bill and Gene Sweeney, home from Villanova college for the Christmas holidays, take the Rubber Throwers into camp only after being pressed to their ut most.
 The Brooklyns and Amerks, both pre-league favorites, failed to live up to advance dope and were cred ited with one of those off-days. Their timing shots, passing and tap plays, were way below stand ard.
 Penalties Hurt Hearts
 The Hearts, showing Bus Jill- son and Bryant Keilty for the first time, might have upset the dope bucket and defeated "Skiddo" Dumschott's youthful array, had they been more careful with body contact, for they were guilty of many fouls with the Brooklyns capitalized on, making all of 20 fire shots count. Both teams regis tered evenly on field goals.
 The insertion of Dom Spadalo and Gen Damelio into the B. A. c. lineup for Jimmy Crichton and Joe Riley proved the turning point of the game When these two youth full and speedy cagesters got the signal for action in the second half they showed Dumschott and the fans plenty, their shooting and all-around play dominating the en- tire last two periods of the game. Ike Block, smallest center in the circuit, and Harry Kelly bore the brunt of the East Enders attack. The game in detail:

If George Lott was in charge of Davis cup affairs he would drop all the veterdans and send team over composed of Donald Budget, Gene Mako and Frankie Parker.

 In thirty years of football, no opposing player has ever intercept ed a Michigan pass and gone for a touchdown. All a young man needs to develop into a top ranking tennis player, is the opin- ion of Sam Hardy, former Davis cup captain, is $10,009 and ten years. Strangler Lewis is an ace bridge player and usually spends three hours a day at the game. Dr Grseme Hammond, IT, president emeritus of the A. A. U., runs three miles every day on an indoor track.
