Maple HiII Boys Club
 Notes

Ray Nolan, Ernie Robinson, Bill Cahill and Joe Motense, the mem- bers who were injured in an autO- mobile accident on Jan 28 are do- ing very well.
 The minstrel, which was to be held on March 1st, has been post poned but the show sponsored by the Lux Clock Go, will be given at Temple hall on Feb 22. Both shows are under the direction of Henry Schuster.
 Rehearsals will be held on Fri day of this week. The club meeting will be held at the same time.
 Athletics
 Bob Holmes and Ray Biron were heavy scorers as the Maple Hill Juniors took the measure of the Bunker Hill Esquire Juniors. The two boys scored 26 of the Hills AZ points, and beat the Esquires by themselves. The final score was 42-17.
 The Seniors did not fare so well as they were taken to the showers by the East End Flashes. Coach Howie Kraft was not present and the already crippled team seemed to lose it's pep and showed very lit- tie form by losing 23-20.
 An interclub league has been suggested but it is doubtful if the teams will give up two practice nights a week in order to play league games. It would be a very good idea as it would give inex- perienced fellows chance and might develop some good material.
 wonder if wandering to Water- vile street seems to spoil a certain members bame. He seems to have slipped.
 One player seems to think he isn't so hot but it's our opinion that if he had a little self-confidence he would go places. If this person knows of whom we speak why doesn't he snap out of it and show the others who seem to think him punk that he % can be high SCOT CT.
 A certain red head on the Senior team had ought to cut out the hook shots and settle down to his old game.
 We'll, I'll be seein' yuh, fellers.

Yankees Win

The "Y" Friday afternoon league started with the Yankees trimming the Giants to the tune of 24 to 19. Gene Montinari showed his wares by garnering ten points for the winners, and Chuck Janik swished the leather four times for the los CTS. The Yankees still maintain an undefeated lead in the league.

LEE, CHAMPION
 SWIMMER, KEEPS
 FIT FOR BILLIARDS
Young New Yorker Going After World Title in
 Three Cushion Play
By LAWTON CARVER United Press Stan CorreanonAe

V S~~~N~@ rN@-N@es~@Sk
 New York, Feb 12. (UP)-Ed- warG Lee, 29-year-old New Yorker who divides his time between win- ming swimming marathons and bil- Hard tournaments, announced to- day that he will attempt to add the world amateur three-cushion championship to five national titles.
 The strapping, four-time winner of the American long distance swim scored his fifth straight vic- tory in national three-cushion bile lizards last night.
 He and Gene Deardorfe of St Louis came through the round robin deadlocked with six victories and one defeat each, and met in . playoff which Lee won, 60-35 in 61 innings.
 Leo never trailed. He won the bank, clicked off two opening points and breezed through to the victory, with high runs of five in the 23rd and 45th innings, Dear dorffs best runs were three in six frames.
 Deardorff, secretary to the vice president of a mid-western railroad and competing in his first national tournament swaggered through the match.
 Lee will pack the suitcase which was presented as first prize and leave within a few weeks for Paris in quest of the world title, to be decided in April. Meanwhile he will take a swim a day to keep in shape for billiards and possibly for another defense of the marathon swim title which he retained at Fall River, Mass, last August.
 You've got to be in good shape to play tournament billiards" he said. And swimming does itn. Box ing and other sports might break up your hands or tighten your muscles. Swimming also seems to put me in shape for the nerve strain. So I hit the water nearly every day"
 Edward Spitz. Boston veteran who gave Lee his only defeat in the tournament, took third place. He and Albert Primeau, Detroit, finished deadlocked, but Suitz won on points scored, 329 to 317. Each had four victories and three losses.
 John F. Davenport, Philadelphia, was figth. George M. Odea, Chica- go, took sixth on points. Leon Rad- Ter, New York, finished next and Arthur HorwitZ, Minneapolis, last.
 Davenport made the high run of the tournament, 10, equalling the world record for amateur play. Lee was runnerup with eight.

JOHN D. AT %
| STILL KEEN ON
BUSINESS

LOS ANGELES, Calf, Nov. 20
IN.SO.-John D. Rockefeller, sr.,
keeps in touch with the far.flung
industrial empire he once ruled
largely through the newspapers,
yet he still is one of the best
informed men on its enormous
details.
o. D. Donnell, president OF the
Ohio Oil Company, a Standard
subsidiary, was talking. Mr.. Don
nell is the son of the late j. c.
Donnel, former head of the Ohio
corporation, who was member OF
the old Rockefeller organization.
MY father" said Mr.. Donneil,
''knew Mr.. Rockefeller in the old
DAYS when he was in active charge
of the organization. I met Mr..
Rockefeller for the first time IN
1920.
"Mr. Rockefeller still has the
most remarkable memory ana aoll.
ity to grasp the essential facts OF
a given situation Of any man !
know. for all of the more than 80
years he has lived"
DESPITE his withdrawal from
active business, old John D." has
a knowledge of what Is going on
in the industry that surprised
those actually engaged in it, Mr..
Donnell says.
Mention somebody to him in
the course of a conversation" he
said, and Mr.. Rockefeller,
whether he has met him or not
will be able to reel off his record
and the problems he has overcome
as though he had been in daily
touch with him. I'm referring to
important men in industrial af-
fairs.
"Mr. Rockefeller's outstanding
quality as an executive was his
ability to pick men. He believed
in deputizing, in giving sub
ordinates responsibility and then
letting them work out the details
Of their problems.
HE was not hard taskmaSter.
He demanded results but If man
fell down on the job Mr.. Rocke-
feller was fair and gave him an
other opportunity If the circum-
stances justified it. He had no
use for loafers, demanding that
