NEW ZEALAND BANS SNAKES

New Zealand has detrmined to continue her ban against snakes and hold to her boast that there are no snakes on the island. New Zealand CTS are so proud of the fact that they will not allow snakes to be kept even in the ZOOS Several well-mean- ing people have from time to time endeayored to present snakes to the zoos in the cities, but the customs officers will not allow any live snake to be alnded from a ship. When a New Zealand journalist returned from England through the Panama Canal and brought with him a five foot boa constructor, which he in- tended to present to the Wellington Zoo, the Customs officials would not allow him to bring his snake ashore. It was an undesirable immigrant according to the law of New Zea- land. The reptile was killed.

 NOT JACK SHARKEY

Boston, April 17.-(UP)-Referee Johnny Brassil had revealed today that his vote was cast for Tony Shucco rather than Jack Sharkey in the 10-round draw between the Bos- ton heavyweights at the Garden Tuesday night.
 The announcer misunderstood Brassil in asking the referee how he voted.
 Since both judges voted draw, BraSsil's vote could not influence the decision.

The highest team honors, which we all know is the most coveted award went to the Bratels, explained by the great Jo-Jo who has devel- oped such stars as Al Carpenter and Georgie Mendillo. We might also add that one of his greatest pieces of strategy was that of advis- ing Winnie Martinelli to wear his specs. However, the Bratels had no walkaway with the league as they were closely pressed by both the Rickeys and the Climbers, to say nothing of the remaining teams. If one will look at the final averages, 1t will be noted that only ten games separates first from last place, and speaking of last place Dom Rosas Beers, had the season lasted another round, would have wound up in tho top bracket.

 The coveted prize of individual average was copped by Joseph Mag zie, who well deserved this position due to his consistent bowling each Friday night of the season. He was followed by his brother Spiggy and Al Carpenter, who seem to shape up as serious contenders for this honor next year.
