So from my particular frcnt
row perch it seemed that the high
honors of the play belonged to
Actor Wierum, who has better
than a fair idea of the value OF
suhtlety.
Out on the Rockville Pike they
like their Williams to stand right
out as beacon lights of perfidy.
Some of the audience comes espe-
cially to hiss and this week they
have Harold Stepler and Mrs.
Sears as objects Of disdain and
old-time public enemies. They
serve the kissing sections well.

TERRYERS DRUB DODGERS 17-S;
 NEED s GAMES
{ Yankees Get EyefuI of Probable World Series
 Rivals

New York, Sept. 18.-(UP)-Little Bobby Miller still is minus bicycle today and all because the New :, York Giants were bunch of show offs who flouted the terrible Brook 1yn jinx when the New York Yan- kees came to scout them for that 3ast-approaching world series.
 Bobby's father, Coach Otto Mill Ter of the Dodgers, promised his son the coveted two-Wheeled vehicle when and if the Brooklyn club made 1t four victories in a row. Eleven times this season the Dodg- CTS have won three straight but each time the fourth win has elud- ed them. They went into yester- days game with the Giants with three successive scalpS under their belts but the result was no excep- ton. The Terrymen crashed g hits off their bats to down the Dodgers, IT to 3.
 And those visiting Yankees cer- tainly got an eyeful! Joe Di Mag gio, sensational rookie outfielder, Pitcher Johnny Broaca, third base man Red Rolfe and Coaches Earl Combs, Art Fletcher and John Schulte, took the subway ride out to Ebbets field to look over their probable rivals. After the Giants had pounded five Brooklyn pitch CTS for IS hits in the first six in- ningS, three of the Yankee callers made their departure. They had seen too much.
 Their rivalry with the, Dodgers have brought heartaches to the Giants in the past but it has put plenty of dollars in the bankrolls of the two clubs. Yesterdays game drew 25,000 fans.
 The Giants demonstration of power yesterday put them five full games ahead of the idle St. Louis Cardinals and set two season rec ords. They scored more runs than in any game this season and the g hits also were tops for this years contests. The Giant attack includ- ed eight doubles and home run with the bases loaded by Hank Leiber. The big inning was in the fourth when the New York club sent seven runs across the plate. Frank Gabler went the distance for the Giants.
 Their chief contenders, the Car dinals and Chicago Cubs. were not scheduled.
 They now need only six games to clinch the pennant even if Chi cago and St. Louis win every game left on their schedules.
 The Giants are idle today but the Cubs and Cards meet at Chicago in one of their cut-throat battles. The standings of the three National league leaders:
 w L Pct. G.B. TIP. New York ..87 57 .604 10 St. Louis ....82 62 .569 5 10 Chicago ..82 63 .566 5k 9I
 In the only other game scheduled in the National league yesterday, the Pirates went on batting spree also, connecting with four Cincin- nati hurlers for 9 hits to defeat the Reds 14-10.
 Only two games were played in the. American league. The Detroit Tigers took sole possession of third | place by defeating the Cleveland Indians, 5-2. Their victory put them only one game behind the second place Chicago White Sox, who dropped 8 5-2 contest to the St. | Louis Browns.

"I have never worked with . squarer bunch of men than those associated with New York University athletics at the present tune and believe that the school is to be greatly commended in many ways, asserts Dr. Stevens, who assumed command at University Heights in 1884, following the cleanup.
 New York City Develops Passers, Not PunterS
 None of our material is prose- lyted and practically all the boys come from New York City high schools. This means, they have in- adequate facilities and usually are far better passers than punterS, no doubt because of lack of space dur ing their early training. On the other hand, New York City is a natural place for boys to learn to play basketball"
 New York University does not ap- pear exactly weak this season, and prospects are bright at the other three Manhattan institutions. Ford ham and Manhattan College have an abundance of materials, and that of Columbia is of an exceptionally high grade, with Sidney Luckman, sophomore, hailed as 8 wonder worker in the backfeld.
 Fordham has 8 splendid chance of being the foremost team in the east, when you consider the talented freshman squad it had last fall, its veteran strength, and its schedule.
 A school seeking to establish a claim to a national title scarcely could arrange more suitable nst of games for that purpose than one including Southern Methodist, Saint Mary's, Pittsburgh, Purdue, Georgia, and New York University.
 The firing will be intense in the metropolitan area as well as on all other fronts.

MOUNT CARMEL
 LEAGUE OPENS

The Mount Carmel Holy Name Bowling League will raise the cur tain on the -936-37 bowling activi- ties, Friday night, Sept. IS, at 8 o'clock on the St. Joseph's alleys.
 Rev. Patrick Flynn, new and pop ular pastor of Mount Carmel church, will usher in the bowling season rolling the first ball down the alley, after conducting the opening ceremonies. Father Flynn will be assisted by Father Birarelli and the organization committee. A large crowd of spectators is expected to be on hand to witness the first nights activities.
 The 1935-36 bowling season proved to be such a success, financially and socially, that an additional number of new faces will be seen in the league this year. This sea- sons league is the largest one m the history of the church. Sixty men will compete for individual honors this year. Ten six-men teams line up Friday in the scramble TOT the championship laurels.
 The league adopted a handicap system this year. This is an initial attempt at using handicap rules, and from all indications shall prove successful in tightening up the pen- nan race and creating added inter est.
 The organization committee in charge of the activities is as fol- lows: Chairman, John Altiere: vice. chairman, Anthony Colucci; secre- tary, Ambrose Maggi; treasurer, Rocco Ciampi; assistants, Pasquale Russo, Hasquale Varanelli and Alex Comardo.

London, Sept. 18 - (UP) - A friendly warning to American par ents: Don't raise your sons to play professional football in England.
 If they do, they'll never be able to return home some dark, rainy night and throw bag of gold on the table just as the cruel squire is about to foreclose the mortgage on the old homestead and send you out into the cold world. In fact, if you have son playing football in England you'll be lucky if he doesn't write you once 8 week and try to put the old "bite" on you, as Oxford purists have it, for $.
 English football players are the most underpaid athletes in the world. Under law they cannot be paid 8 salary of more than eight pounds weekly. This is the absolute top price and should 8 generous club owner violate the ruling and add another five dollars to 8 stars weekly pay check, his franchise would betaken away and the play ing grounds closed forever.
 The niggardliness of the salaries is even more amazing when one re- alize what 8 tremendous money maker football is over here. Our baseball crowds are as nothing to the throngs which, twice weekly, jam stadiums for the sport. At the opening of the season few weeks back, more than 100000 people paid to see the sport launch its 1936-37 campaign of eight months. The major interest is centered in the play of teams in the first, second and third north and third south di- visions, which correspond to our major leagues. The average is p teams to a division, which means A games 8 week. Crowds at these games range from 10000 when weaker clubs are matched to 80,O0O when top elevenS clash.
 But the players get none of the money which rolls in, not even the brightest stars. Arsenal club of London and its famed performer, Alex James, offer 8 fine example of how things work. Arsenal plays in a million dollar stadium and pays as much as $100,000 for Q player it wants. In fact, that's the sum it cost them to get James from 8 rival club. James is very colorful and 8 tremendous drawing card. Arsenal officials admit he personally draws l8,OOO spectators in the games heplays in. And besides being 8 drawing card he is the backbone of his teams attack. Yet he gets eight pounds 8 week and no more. Can you imagine Dizzy Dean or Lou Gehrig or Gabby Hartnett working for that salary?
 For this eight pounds 8 week, James plays two games of bruising football. The sport requires such perfect physical condition that players cannot expect to have more than eight or nine years in top com- pany. They usually are through as headliners when they're about 30. Then what? They can't retire be- cause even 8 most frugal man would have difficulty saving much out of eight pounds a week. A few are able to land jobs as coaches, news paper commentators and talent scouts, but the majority of them go behind the bar in a pub or retrEn to manual labor.

 SayS--

New York, Sept. 15-New York University's 21-O defeat at the hands and feet of Fordham in the clubs concluding number last fall largely was attributed to the Violet having played too soft 8 schedule.
 It never will be said that the young men of Manhattan weren't properly warmed up this trip. Grad uate Manager Al Nixon took no chances along this line. All he did was book Ohio State in Columbus right under the gun, Oct. 3.
 Because football games are won in the line, New ork University should come back with 8 formidable array this autumn, despite the loss of 13 letter men. The battle in Columbus will test the Buckeyes as well as the lads of University Heights.
 Captain MachlowitZ, Ed Smith, Joe Mandell, Begelman, Siegel, and Eisenberg, all backs, and King Kong Klein, tackle, were graduated by N. Y. U. Smith, tall and great passer and punter, and Klein now are with the Boston and Brooklyn outfits of the professional National League, re- spectively. Mandell and Begelman were blockerS, Siegel and Eisenberg speed merchants.
 Stellmack and Williams
 Seen New Violet Heroes
 While any aggregation would miss 8 Klein, he is the only absentee in the forward wall of the Bronx com bination, the added experience of the others gives Dr. Marvin A. Ste venS a capable line.
 A green backfield is Stevens prob- lem, although he expects Stellmack to take a high rating among pass CTS. He also has 8 fine running back in @ 207-pound Negro youth named Williams.
 Dr. Stevens visions a campaign in which the lateral pass will be better balanced with the running game, but sees no practical change in the type of football.
