May Leave July 1.
BY PAUL MALLON.

TINE Spring breezes are whisper
ing that Frank Walker Is
going to leave around July l
L Walker has been President
Roosevelt's inside trouble
shooter. Whenever there was a par
ticularly ticklish job of rein-pulling,
co-ordinating or pacifying to be done,
the President has called on his good
friend.
The latest job assigned to Walker
Uas coordination OF about 115 neto
Federal agencies, organization OF q
general bureau OF neU deal intor-
nation and getting the neU home
financing campaign started.
Walkers friends say he will have
that job in shape in about 10 weeks,
and then will go back to his private
business.
Walker came down here originally
for six weeks. Those six weeks have
stretched out into year. The only
way he has been able to handle his
business affairs lately is to commute
to New York over week ends.

Critics Take Shots.

He was the center Of censorship
uproar when he set up the Central
Statistical Agency. The uproar died
because the board appears to have
been fair in its figures. More lately
some of the political critics have
taken a few mild shots at him for
failure to harmonic the varying new
Federal agencies. Those shots ap-
parently we're aimed over Walkers
shoulder at the fact that any one
who can get harmony out Of that
115-piece band is not a bandmaster
but Houdini.

 Barnes-High Signal-152.

 Rangers-High game-611.
 Rangers-High team-16S3.
 Alley Howls.
 When the Rangers lost one game to the Zi Thets and the Beaus took three away from the Cwoans the Beaus again came up to tie the Rangers for first place.
 The Rangers were not in very good form this week, however they were able to take two games away from the Zi Theta Pi who bowled with more pep and enthusiasm this week than ever before. MaistO, the mighty, little fourth man again appeared as member of the 300 and over club this week while the lay-OfY over the holidays seemed to affect his team mates. Stacy, the advisor and cO-club member of the Zi Thets, took high single honOrs and high three hon. Ors for the night. Some of the members of the league wanted to know why Stacy was bowling; but rest assured it is ok. as he has been a member of the Zi Thets long before the rest of the other clubs were even thought of. Both teams were unable to hit 15OO and over for total pinfall and all strenuous holidays just passed. U and Is by default because enough men did not appear to roll off the match. Through a misunderstood ing or rather transformation the Speed-Boys dropped out of the league before the holidays but have signified their intention of coming back in if there is an opening.
 Dutch Veillette and his co-part- ners, Reg Davis and Joe Falzone, joined the 300 and over club this week. Dutch distinguished himself by rolling $40 and is steadily push ing his average toward the high average mark.
 The Beaus took away from the much praised Cwoans who this week were able to get just two men in the 300 and over club. They were Colombo and our friend Bares the nudist philos- opher. Ranslow and Bob Hamel were the mighty men for the Beaus and dressed those pins nice ly for scores of 325 and 344. The closest game in this match was the last one in which the following men pulled the game from a 40 pin handicap to a win. Snyder, lead off man, got his marks in the fourth round which gave courage to the rest of the men who came through in fine style. Ranslow hit a spare with a nice fill, Shatas the same, Goodwin two spares in row and good old dependable Bob Hamel finished up with a spare and a strike to clinch the game. To be sure, me boys, Hamel pulled two games out of the for wins for his team.

HAYDEN FACES HARDEST JOB
 IN FOOTBALL
Record of Three Great Coaches Ahead of Him
 at NOtre Dame
By FRED BAILEY United Press Stan CorrespOndent)

(United Press Stan COrrespOndent)
 Chicago, (UP)-Elmer Layden, recently appointed football coach and director of athletics at Notre Dame, has one of the biggest jobs in football ahead of him for next fall.
 He is the successor to three great coaches, who, in 20 years, had lost but 26 games. During that period, since 1913, Notre Dame, coached by Jess Harper, Knute Rockne and Hunk Ander- son, won 154 games.
 He is stepping into the shoes that Anderson was hoisted out of after three years, during which he won 16 games, lost nine and tied two-not a bad record, consider ing Notre Dame played virtually all the leading teams of the coun- try.
 Regrets Anderson's Departure
 While extending Layden a hearty welcome, the Notre Dame student body unquestionably regrets the departure of solemn, earnest Hunk Anderson. At a theater patronized largely by students in South Bend, and then Layden's pie lures were thrown on the screen.
 Loud cheering greeted Ander- sons likeness. Stony silence set tied like an ominous calm over the house when Layden's was shown. Perhaps it meant nothing more than a rousing sendoff to 8 man who had given his best for three years.
 Despite the apparent rebuff, Lay den always has been popular at Notre Dame. He was the dark horse of the Four Horsemen that rode roughshod over opposition in 1924. Weighing but 160 pounds. he was one of the lightest full backs in college football.
 Knute Rockne was, and still is, Layden's ideal.
 "All I know he taught me-" he said simply and seemed ot think he had covered the subject. That Layden learned well was evil denced by his success at Duauesne, where he lost last season only to Pittsburg, by six points.
 Anderson Not Backslapper
 Perhaps the key to the reason for the change in Notre Dame coaches lies at the banquet table more than on the football field. Anderson didn't like to backslap alumni, and he detested formal dinners.
 Layden has front" He tells a story we'll He knows all the old grads. or almost all. by their first names. His favorite story cor- cerns Rockne.
 Rock sent mo in at fullback early in 1923 after the team had piled up q big lead. On the first play l was as nervous as a bride. The play called for q line plunge and the ball came to me.
 T shot at the line, and as I hit it, the ball popped out of my hands and bounced over both teams and across the goal line. A Notre Dame man fell on it for a touchdown. When I came out Rock slapped me on the back and without cracking a smile said {: That was quick thinking, boy"

IHORNSBY FACES | TOUGH TASK | WITH BROWNS
Lack of Trading Cash Tied Rajah's Hands Dur-
 ing Swapfest
BY FRED BAILEY nlfnd Rrnsa CfnR GnraarnnndnnfA

United Press Stan COrespOndent)
 Chicago, UP)-Rogers Hornsby, two-f1sted manager of the St Louis Browns, doesn't know when he is licked. He's beaming optimism with a club but little changed from the one that finished 43 1-2 games behind the Washington Senators last season.
 The Rajah is in a tough spot. He was appointed manager of the Browns late in the season. For a time the team, under his inspira- tional leadership and burning de- sire to win, spurted and then set- tied more deeply into the Ameri- can League cellar.
 After the close of the season, when Hornsby was all set to re- tuild his club by trades and with cash, Phil DeCatesby Ball, phil enthropic owner of the club, died. The Rajah's hands virtually were tied. But he didn't lie down and quit.
 Hornsby Not Quitter
 Hornsby, whatever his other faults may be-and his critics He knows baseball and he loves tAAC 6ohhOs A1O D PCL AAhp6 LAlV AlUA 0- est loser in either league. He plays every game as if the pennant de- pended upon it.
 During the winter, Hornsby traded as best he could with the misfit material he had. He had no money to offer for players. He gathered about him players of the Hornsby type" - hustlers and scrapers.
 Whether or not Hornsby pulls his club out of the basement this season, opponents on the ball field next spring and summer can be sure of at least one thing-the Browns won't be beaten until the last man is out in the final inning. Rajah's Motto
 The Rajah's motto is: "A team that won't be beaten, can't be beaten"
 He came to the joint major leagues meeting in Chicago with the determination to build a team of that type. He hadn't much to offer in the way of trading mate rial. He did manage to swing a couple of deals.
 One brought him Pitcher Ivy Andrews, whom he kept, and some excess baggage, which he sent along with Shortstop Jim Levey to the Los Angeles Pacific Coast League team in exchange for Shortstop tSrange. To make that deal with the Boston Red Sox he parted with Outfielder Carl Key holds.
 Another deal, shortly before the baseball meeting, brought Catcher Frank Grube from the Chicago White Sox in an even, swap for Catcher Melvin Shea. Pitcher Newsome was drafted from Los Angeles and Pitcher Jim Weaver purchased from Newark. Pitcher George Walkup was brought up from the Browns San Antonio Texas league farm.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-01-08

The club which finishes the com- ing season, reduced from 168 to 154 games, at the top of the standing will be recognized as pennant winner and entitled to va rious financial awards.
 At the end of the season, the first four clubs will participate in a play-ofe series to determine which will meet the American as- sociation winner in the Little World Series. First the third-place clubs, and second and fourth place clubs will meet, with the winners opposed in the final play off.
 Pretty Tough
 Last season, when the Shaugh- messy system was inaugurated, both the pennant winner and Little World Series participant were de- cided by the play-offs. The league was divided into Q northern and a southern division, and the two first place and second-place clubs played each other, with the win ners meeting in the final.
 Newark was a strong Objector and dissenting voter at the meet ing because the Bears finished the season 13 games ahead of their nearest rival yet failed to win the pennant because they lost out in the play-offs.
 Percentage
 Players on the 1894 pennant win- ming team will divide 10 per cent of receipts of all play-off games, twice as much as last year. In ad- dition, if the pennant winner is eliminated in the play-offs, owners of the club will receive money from the Little World Series and from the play-offs.
 The league adopted the uniform ball recently agreed upon by the major leagues. The season will start April IS, and close Sept. g.
