It sounds familiar, but

night. If you remember it, just
pass it by. The distraught wife
went into the mOrgue and asked
to see the body of her husband.
The attendant brought out body

shrieked: That's him-that'S

Just then, as the attendant &C
cidentally pushed it, the cOrpse's
mouth opened, revealing two
front teeth capped in gold.
"Oh," cried the woman,
"that's not my John. He had
perfect teeth" She walked out.
"YOu damfule!" muttered the
attendant, eff you'd had sense
enough to keep your trap closed,
you'd have had a decent burial!"

REDS new BOSS
HOPES TO DIG
OUT OF CELLAR
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY
(United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT

Chicago (UP).-Bob O'Farrell's
appointment as manager Of the
Cincinnati Reds for the next two
years gives the veteran catcher a
unique record as baseball pilot.
In 1927 he was made manager
of the world champion st. Louis
Cardinals.
Now seven years later he finds
himself manager of an eighth place
club. That's the biggest backward
jump a manager can make in base
ball and still stay in the majors.
But for O'Farrell it seems to be
a fine opportunity to show Sam
Breadon, owner Of the Cardinals,
that he made a mistake by firing
him in 1927 when he failed to win
the pennant. The Cardinals fin
ished second that year, only a
game back of the pennant- winning
Pittsburgh Pirates.
Incidentally, DOME Bush was
manager of the Pirates that year,
and was indirectly the cause of
O'Farrell losing his job. Now o.
Farrell replaces Bush as manager
Of the Reds.
O'Farrell, who manages a bowl
ing parlor at Waukegan, ILL.,, a
suburb of Chicago, Is confident that
he can better the position of the
Reds the coming season.
, II will have everything to gain
at Cincinnati" said O'Farrell, II

Louis in my first chance as man.

pionship club is pretty tough.
There's no room for improvement.
III have plenty Of chance for i'm
provement with the Reds. Well get
out of the cellar in the first year
/ feel sure.'
O'Farrell, who is SO, hopes to
catch 100 games this season. He
expects Chick Hafey to be one Of
the most dangerous hitters in the
league next year with the lively
ball back.
O'Farrell says his greatest thrill
in baseball was throwing out Babe
Ruth at second base to end the
1925 world series. He gives Roger
Bresnahan credit for developing
him.
Roger Bresnahan picked me off
the sand lots and coached me in
the art of catching until I made
good with the Cubs in 1915" said
O'Farrell.

At their meeting last week. Pres

the use of both regular league off,
Gals to handle the playoff game Of
yesterday between the defending
champion Washington Hills and

suggestion was voted down to
for the reason, as one manager
frankly expressed it ito save the
cost of an extra referee" That the
official would hardly have been

convincingly proven yesterday,
when Joe Rozint of the Emeralds

into a fistic mixup which held up

their regular weekly meeting at
the Y. M. c. A. and are scheduled
to be notified by c. Raymond Gam
ung, chairman of the athletic

the disturbance Of yesterday was
direct violation Of the UNDER
standing given the league when
allowed to rent the "Y" court at
the beginning Of the season, and
future City League games cannot
be played there. In short, the ex-
pected notification means that the
City Amateur league will have to
finish it's season on another court
or disband.

AS for the game, which involved
a great deal of personal contact,
Naugatuck Emeralds outployed
and outshot the Hills throughout,
holding nine point advantage at
half time and at the finish, the
final count showing a 1920 score
in favor of the aggressive borough
squad. Kraft and Earl Lewis, ordi-
