LOWER CROWNS
STRA WS HA VE LONG HISTORY

THE origin of straw hats
 A is lost in the dim mists of antiquity. It is probable that they have been worn ever since people learned to fear the suns rays.
 For a long time straw hats were brought to America from Europe, the first domestic fac- tory being established in Balti- more as recently as 1866. Early American straws were called "Mackinaws," after the district in Michigan which produced the raw material. These hats were pretty crude, resembling inverted baskets. About 1877 the first efforts to introduce style were made when manu- lecturers copied the lines of the stiff felt derby.
 The present sailor model came in 1885, and has contin- ued in high favor with but minor variations. It formerly was a part of the uniforms of British and American sailors, which is how 1t got It's name.
 The Panama is another vic- tim of misnomer. Back in the sos. European and American engineers building the Panama Railroad recognized it's cxcel- lence as hot-weather headgear. A dealer on the isthmus im- port some from Ecuador for the railroad engineers, and. when they brought them back to the States. the name Panama" was enormously given them. It has stuck ever since.

St. Joseph Boys Treated Poorly
 By PariShiOnerS

Criticism of St. Joseph's baseball team of the parochial school league is reversed today with the support of loyal fans who assert that the boys have been playing under Q de- cided handicap since the opening of the season. On Monday night the boys were defeated 27-l by St. Johns of Watertown and previous to this went down under e-4 against St. Ann's. It has been stated that perhaps the reason for the showing until this time has been due to the fact that the boys are without the support that is 50 necessary in the fostering of athletics ahnong school children.
 Hardly Fair
 Tn short the boys of the team arc obliged to walk to Hamilton Park, a distance of two miles, arriving only in time to play the game in Q somewhat exhausted condition and then walk back to Brooklyn, carry. ing their team equipment. The walk happens to take the boys over Washington Hill and at Q time of the day when the thermometer is at it's greatest heights.
 Until this season, Rev. Joseph J. Valantiejus, pastor, found time to take the boys to the park, sorne- times making two trips in his car. Although just as much interested in the welfare of the team this season, Father Valantiejus' duties require more of his time and he finds that he is unable to participate with the boys and share their victories and defeats in his usual manner.
 Ex- Champs
 It is recalled that St. Joseph's team won the league championship only as recently as two seasons ago and at the time the winning ball club was generously supported. With so many cars owned by Brooklyn ties, many of which are parked on streets in the vicinity of the school several hours each day, 1t should not be difficult to find at least two drivers who are generous enough and have sufficient sportsmanship to make an effort to eliminate the con- ditions under which the boys are playing at the present time. The movement will perhaps result in another winning ball team and a greater opportunity to win the next series, thus retaining the prestige that has been built up in past years

LOSS BY GR0VE,. TERRELL HAS
 BOSTON GLOOMY
Tigers Score Sweet Re. venge'; Bees Also Lack
 Sting in Tie Game

Boston, May 13 = (UP) = Vic- tirns of two successive shutouts, the power packed Boston Red Sox, had run down momentarily today and were in the midst of their worst slump" to date.
 Though perhaps not real slump, 1t, nevertheless, Is the first time this year that their ace pitchers - Lefty Grove and Wes Terrell --and their sluggers had all soured simul- taneously.
 Another element in the gloom was the announcement that Man. ager Joe cronin would be inactive for another month at least. Cronin, whose thumb was fractured, has benched him since the start of the season, had the plastercast removed yesterday for x-rays. The photo- graphs showed the bones still weak, and the cast was clamped right back again.
 SOx Letd0wn
 Terrell, charged with yesterdays 5 to o loss at Detroit, got off to one of his not unexpected bad starts, and lacked the customary slugging support to pull him out of the hole. Vic Sorrell, the 34-year-old veteran of the Tigers staff, set the sox down with three ineffective hits.
 The shutout was sweet revenge fo rthe Tigers, who had suffered successive whitewashings by Grove and F'errell in Boston. Terrell was not up to his recent two-hit form, and the Tigers, aided by Tricky Terrain, booted home three runs in the first. Another run in the third, and Goose Goslin's homer in the fifth ended the days scoring.
 Johnny Marcum, whose arm is now ok. after early-season sore- ness, was nominated to bring the sox out of the wilderness today, op- posing the Tigers ace, Schoolboy Rowe. Marcum won his last game, his only full nine-inning appearance.
 StandOff
 The Boston Bees, meanwhile, played ten innings for naught yes- terday, the game ending 6-6 for another entry in the re-run book. The bees, whose see-saw games and ninth inning ties bid for thrill" honors in the National League, blew 6 two-run lead in the ninth.
 The bees had victory within their grasp, but Bobby Smith flopped as a relief hurler in the ninth, as the Pirates tied the score at six all. A daring running catch by Wally Ber- ger in the 10th saved the game for the Bees, just before 1t was called because of darkness.
 Tony Cuccinello's second-inning homer, and Gene Moores pair ot triples featured the Bees l3 hits.
