 aid Contest Off

The Knights of Lithuania Speed boys basketball quintet ended the 1933-34 basketball campaign with brilliant season, cGging a record of IS victories and with three losses. Due to the inability of the Naugatuck Emeralds to secure a playing surface for their second game of the series, and with warm weather setting in, it was decided to drop the second tilt. The Knights only losses of the season were at the hands of the Red Devils, Greater New Haven champs dropping two verdicts, while one point loss to the Nashua Pros was later avenged, when the Knights trounced them by a tune of 41 to IF. Amongst brilliant victories the Knights had scored this year were over the Hopeville Speedboys twice, Naugatuck Emeralds, St Lucy, Washington Hills, St Michaels of New Haven, Brooklyn A. C., St An drews of New Britain and a num- Der of other well known quintets. Through the fine coaching of Cap tain Joe Swasey and the manag- ing of John 9Jonuk" Lesunaitfs the Knights array owe their fine ,suc- cess the past season financially and in the basketball field. The K. of l.. team clinched the Catholic Lith- uanian club championship of the state, and will be presented with a trophy at an annual banquet to be held at Hotel Stratford in Bridge port in the near future.

These gals have been shamefully neglected this season. Time was when the dinas of track and field attracted almost as much attention durign the winter months as the men. But this year, Cunningham. Metcalfe, Follows, Marty and their like have carried on with a mini- mum of feminine competition to steal the headlines.
 So tonight the current Babe Did, rikson vii make the most of their opportunity in Brooklyn's second Naval Battalion Armory. Since the 192 stars from the United States, Canada and Poland are competing for national laurels for the first time on a metric basis, new Amer ican marks will be listed in most of the events, and several world marks are anticipated.
 Polish Star
 Classy fields are listed for all events, with 10 Olympic perform CTS, eight outdoor and all seven indoor champions included in the entrants. The featured performer quite naturally will be Miss Stella Walsh of Poland, Olympic 100-me- ter champion and the greatest woman sprinter in history. She holds outright or shares every world record from 50 to 200 me- ters. She is entered in the 50 and 200-meter races.
 Miss Walsh faces keen compe- tition from Pearl Young of Will liamsburg, Va defending champion in the 50 meters, and Annette Rogers of Chicago, defending title- holder in the 200. A new world record is expected in the latter event as Walsh and Rogers will be running against Alice Hasenfns of Boston, the outdoor champion. Miss Rogers, wordl record holder in the 50 meters, also is entered in that event, as are Louise Stokes of Bos- ton, national outdoor champion; Clara Herman of New York, who broke the worlds GO yard record recently and Mildred Fizzell of Toronto, a members of the last Canadian olympic team.
 Miss Betty Robinson, Olympic 10O-meter champion of 1928 who was seriously injured in an air- plane crash in 1881, will not com- pete in the sprints, but is expected to a 100-meter leg of the 400-me- ter relay for the Lincoln Park Club of Chicago.

TO-DA Y,S SPORT PARADE

President John Heydler and William Harridge of the National and American Leagues respectively are cinch to come withi na few words of this Baseball is in for one of its greatest years. The num- erous trades, along with so many changes in managementship, is certain to- create new interest. There are at least four clubs in the league capable of winning the pen nant, and a tight, hard bottle right down to the finish is what the fans love. May the best team win"
 Some day manager or president, when asked what he thinks of the coming season, is going to stand up and say. he personally feels ouselay, that his team couldn't win the three-eye flag, that the new ball is going to make a mess Of things, and that he wished he stuck to his original intention and became an undertaken. The man who does this first is assured of a place in history.

New York, April 14-(UP)- The rules coordination committee of the national basketball commit tee of United States and Canada may consider several suggested changes in the code at to-day's meeting in the Hotel McAlpin.

 (2) Penalization of teams us- ing the psychology of delay" at the start of a game.
 (3) The privilege of refusing fouls as in football, when bas- ket would be nullified by a prior foul on some other part of the floor.
 (D Tightening restrictions on coaching from the bench
 (5) A more liberal interpreta- ton of the personal foul rule to permit restricted bodily contact by the defense.

New York, April IA 4- U.P.) -
 Choutchouc or ndia-rubber. The
 greatest quantities of this produce
 are obtained from species of the
 genus hevea of the spurge family.
 Standardization rubber is the
 product of castillas elastica of the
 breadfruit family (artocarpaceae) i;
 ceara or scrap rubber, of manihot
 galziovii of the spurge family; East
 Indian rubber. of fiscus elastica, of
 the nettle family; and African
 rubber of several species of lan-
 dolphia, of the dogbane family.
 Rubber has a thousand uses,
 ranging from teething rings to div
 ing suits. But it's principal use, and
 the chief reason for it's discovery
 and perfection, I have come to be-
 lieve, is for the manufacture of
 rubber stamps to be used by base
 ball owners, manager and players
 in issuing preseason statements. r These statements haven't chang ed one iota since Abner Double
 days time. Every year the same thing. You can go back in the
 newspaper files ten years, dig out
 the pre- battle statements of the
 baseball heads at that time and by simply making them read 1884 in INstead of 1924 have exactly what
 Mccarthy will be sounding off within few days.
 One of my duties, when the Giants and Yankees get to town, will be to ask Terry and Joe Mo- Carthy for their opinion on the
 mapor league season. The subway fare Pgl use in seeing them per- sOnally will be a fragrant waste of money, for l can write their re- plies right now. Terry will say this: "The National League is in for the tightest pennant battel in years. There isn't great deal to choose between the Giants, cards, Cubs and Pirates, but we were good enough to win last year and with our share of breaks, ought to do the same thing this year. There aren't going to be any pushover clubs this year, Cincinnati has been strengthened. and the Phillies will be in there fighting"
 Mccarthy: "rhe American League is in for the closest pen-
 nant battle in years. There isn't a great deal to choose between the Senators, Tanks, Cleveland, Boston, and Detroit, but if we get our share of breaks we oughta come home in front. Our pitching is bet ter, and our infield, with Red Rolfe at short, is much stronger, both on offense and defense"
 | If you talk to the managers of the weaker clubs you'll get some thing like this: "Tm not promising we'll win the pennant this year, but we won't finish last. We'll be in there fighting all the way. and the clubs that beat Us will know they've bean in . hsht.v

CARDINALS ONLY
 FEAR OF GIANTS
 SAID BILL TERRY
Manager of World Cham= pi0ns Says His Boys
 Are Pennant Bound

Cleveland, O. April 14-(UP)- Is Manager Bill Terry disheartened blythe poor showing of his world champion New York Giants in training? Not by long shot. Ooz- ing confidence, Memphis Bill pre- dicted to-day. for the first time, that his Giants would repeat for the National League pennant. Hitherto, the modest MT Terry has limited his enthusiasm to state ments promising that the Giants would finish one-two-three.
 To-day he said "the Giants will repeat. Unless our hitters go blind and our pitchers go wild. can not see how q team with our spirit and equipment can be beaten" Terry also made another sur prising statement. He said he feared the St Louis Cardinals more than any other club in the circuit This was at variance with a recent nationwide poll of sports writers who picked the Chicago Cubs as the most formidable contender. Terry ranked Chicago third. Terry explained that the Cards actually had him worried while George Watkins was on their ros- ter, but that since he obtained Watkins in trade for George Da- wis, he was vastly relieved and confident Watkins would supply the punch his outfit needed.
 As for the Cubs, Sure they have the edge in hitting, but who will do the pitching for them? Accord ing to reports reaching us, none of Charlie Grimm's new uhrlers have shown enough class to give us the jitters."
 He said the Giants would play . different brand of ball after, the bell rings and it counts when Critz returns 10 second. And when Mancuso is back there catching again, which will be by May l. have been assured by competent medical authority that he will. be able to work a full game inside of two weeks"
 Terry said he was still negotiat- ing for another experienced pitch CT. However, if Watson Clark's arm responds to treatment, the additional hurler would not be needed. Nor would the additional finger be needed if Jack Salveson continues to pitch as he has done in training.
 The Giants wind up their IA game series with the Indians in game to-day and another to-mor- row, both in Cleveland.
