Yale Man 10 Study
Indian Hill Tribes

NEW HAVEN, Conn.-David G.
Mandelbaum, after receiving the
degree of Doctor of Philosophy
from Yale University, will go as
the first American anthropologist
to do research work in India for
the National Research Council.
He will make an chronological
study of the hill tribes Of c 9TH

core and Madras Presidency. He
is the second Yale scholar to study
in southern India.

a rapid, rhythmic swing, and
then let the old cat die.
Here is q limbering exercise
that is child'S play.
POSITION: Standing, hand rest
ing on door jamb or chair back
for support.
MOVEMENT. Swing leg forward
and backward loosely, from the
hip joint. Let the ball Of the
foot tap the floor on the down
ward swing, bending the knee on
the backward swing. Continue
for several seconds and repeat
with the other leg.
Now, we are going to walk a
chalk line!
POSITION: Standing, heel Of
left foot on a straight line.
MOVEMENT: Rock forward on
left toes and at the same time
place the heel Of the right foot
directly ahead Of the left and rock
up to right toes. Try to carry the
weight on the outer border Of the
foot. This is a good exercise to
perform several times day.
The following exercise is more
difficult, but it pulls all, the leg
muscles from thigh to ankle.
POSITION: Lying on back on
floor.
MOVEMENT: Bring the feet
overhead, trying to touch toes to
floor in back of head. Point the
toes while padding the air rhyth-
mically and touching alternate
toes as close as possible to floor.
Now, curl toes toward instep and
continue the padding movement.
Begin slowly with leg exercises
or your unused muscles will pro-
test. Improved musculature Of
the legs means better contour.

WaShingtonians, always anxious
to get in q "shot" for the little
maple sport, and no little encour-
aged by the guarantee Of a SIS
first prize, will turn out in droves.
Washington suburban drives will
also be potently represented.
Wayne "Hokie" Smith, Washing
tons king of the runners-up, has
packed up his trousseau and has
vowed that the chap who beats
him Saturday will have to be a
record-breaker.
Last Saturday, Smith was third
in The washington Times Mems
Dixie Sweepstakes, and Sunday
he placed second in the Ray Won
Dreele Sweepstakes at Baltimore.
Says he grimly:
virginia is the homo Of
George Washington, first in war,
first in peace and first in the
heart Of his cOuntrymen. Well,
I feel mighty patriotic, and I'll
follow In the footsteps of the
Father Of His Country in a
duckpin war. See If 1 'dOnt!"
However, Astor Clark, Claren-
don'S Bambino of the maple ways,
Is skeptical. AStor recently finished
in tie for first place in the Vir-
ginia-North Carolina Sweepstakes
at Richmond and considers any
event conducted anywhere in Vir-
ginia as his particular meat.
Paul Lohr, Baltimore's runner-up
in the Dixie, also wants to break
into the championship circle and
admits that there is no time like
the present.
Sentiments the Same
Fellows with sentiments along
the same line are Ollie Pacini, Ed
Blakeney, Joe Harrison, Eddie Es-

flannels of the Athletics and came
out of the ordeal conqueror on
Is occasions.
His AIT pinch-hitting average
doesn't quite approach the nomi-
nal leader, Billy Sullivan, OF Cleve-
land, but Billy was on the spot but
II times for S hits for mark OF
ASS. so Kid Dean is the actual
pace-setter in such specialized
work.
Six of Deans Is pinch hits, in
cidentally, were for doubles. He
succeeded in scoring three times.
He drove in II runs out OF 38
trips to the plate as a relief hit
ter, walking twice.
Knocked off Yanks
Soon after reporting, he beat
New York IL to II after coming
up in q breach. Later he drove
il two runs to turn back Detroit,
6 to 5. Again he drove in three
runs to beat st. Louis, 6 to 5, his
double in the ninth permitting
the Mackmen to tie the score and
then go on to sew up matters in
the tenth.
A couple of weeks later our boy
hero went to the bat twice in the
same inning, scoring a run and
driving in another. Five of the
Athletic victories for the season
were directly attributable to his
appearing on the scene when the
situation was desperate.
A Quirk Of the tabulation for
pinch hitting is found in the fail
ure Of the trio of Boston Red Sox
who normally are pretty good in
the clutches, to deliver at all
Johnny Marcum, Bing Miller and
Wes Terrell. In 1885 that trinity
compiled 27 safeties under high
pressure. Such are the vagaries
of baseball!
Probably the busiest of the
pinch hitters was Ed Coleman, of
the Browns. In 50 times when
the going was tough, he walked
10 of them, registered 18 hits, en-
bracing a double and two triples,
tailed six times and drove in 19
more, for a pinch hitting average
of .3O5.
While their marks in such roles
are not impressive, Carl Reynolds.
Jess Hill and Buddy Lewis had
their moments as pinch hitters.
Reynolds, in particular. made
himself conspicuous on June 16
when his home run with two on
bases in the tenth inning beat De-
troit, 9 to 8. Lewis walk as a
pinch hitter was converted into a
winning run on one occasion and
Jess Hills long fly won on another.

Meeting Due
Sunday
Afternoon
By SID KATZNELL

After several years of earnest
effort on the part of George Lin
coin 1semann, debonair secretary
of the National Duckpin Bowling
Congress, the realization of the
formation of a foul-line association
Is just around the corner.
On Sunday afternoon, at the
New Colonial Hotel, group Of
foul-line men will meet with the
officials of both the local city and
national duckpin bodies to iron
out plans for the organization.
Should the foul-line organ1za-
ton become a reality, then an
orchid should be awarded to "PaT
Perkins one of the most popular
and efficient foul-line judges in
the city. He has worked diligently
the last few years in an effort to
form the association.

enjoying considerable prosperity
for six consecutive weeks in the
Ladies District League in which
they only suffered one defeat, the
Rosslyn girls dropped two games
to Temple.
Mildred Miskelly was the thorn
in Rosslyn's path. She turned in
a 139 game and 371 for Temple.

The contest had previously been
