Bouncing The Ball
BY JOHN A. CLUNEY

Though not prophetic by nature, unless he's trying to get out of a double corner in a checker game, Bud Geoghegan, the Meriden, Hart ford and Waterbury golf profess sional, certainly called the turn on that tournament at Augusta, won by one stroke yesterday by High Horton Smith, the juggernaut from Joplin, Missouri. Only Sunday af- ternoon while trudging the High land Club fairway's in the Silver City, Bud and I were talking over the tournament which Harry Coop CT seemed to have wrapped up with 8 five stroke lead on the field. Now, anyone who follow the boys who golf for gold knows that five strokes at the end of 36 holes is 8 lead that will not be overcome unless the leader completely falls apart in the last half of the grind when the chips are down. And Cooper is not a kid, and his game rarely buckles up, with five strokes the best of the field. If it were one or two strokes then, the old collar might tighten up on a tough lie, but five strokes in golf is like seven points in foot ball. However, Mir. Geoghegan insist ed Cooper would not take top money And he didn't-by single stroke, which cost Cooper $700, and won $500 for Smith.

 VICE PRESIDENT
Cashin Breaks Tie Vote of Managers - Six Team
 League Not Official
BY JOHN A. CLUNEY

Harry x. Cashin took charge of his first City Amateur Basbeall League meeting last night in his capacity as newly elected president of the senior Waterbury circuit whose members will cavort on Sunday af- ternoons at Hamilton Park from May into September. The K" marks the spot on which President Harry was put by the team representatives who turned in another tie vote for vice-president even with new can didate in the field, forcing President Cashin to decide the issue which he did--in favor of Maurice Fitzgerald, one-man debating team of the Sacred Hearts, when anything pre- judicial to the Hearts interests is said or done, on the field, street or in executive session.
 The Winnah!
 Fitzgerald proved winner by the presidents vote (don't spell that veto, MT. Printer) over two oppo- nents, within two weeks. Last week Monday, Maurice Ryan of the Washington Hill Club was nomin- ated with MT. Fitzgerald, but last night Ryan was not mentioned as a nominee though he had been nom- mated at the previous meeting and the nomination was NOT WITH DRAWN last night. However, John 'Luddy" Burke was nominated for the vice-presidency, when President Cashin called for NEW nominations, and a vote on his candidacy and that of Fitzgerald resulted in 3-3 deadlock which MT. Cashin broke in his best Lions Club manner.
 POstponements
 Action on the possibility of a seven or eight team circuit, based on the application of the Watertown Princetons, represented by Henry Darlington and the Wilson A. c. who were not represented last night, was put over until the next meet ing, as was also the matter of a league physician, the appointment of collectors, umpires and scorers, the use of a patented coin box which registers all donations, and the chances of radio broadcasting in connection with the Sunday games. Bids from sporting goods firms for the league baseball contract will be made known at the next meeting. The league games will open one week earlier this season to head off possible postponements due to in- element weather.

HENIGAN TO TRY

 Henigan, dean of active plodders now that Clarence DeMar has taken to walking, is the first former B. A. A. winner to return the official en- try blank. Smiling Jimmy won in 1881, and nearly repeated in 1892. He finished 11th last year.
 Other new entries received by Manager Thomas J. Randy include Pat Joyce of Dorchester, Carlos M. Whitlock of Sheffield, Ala, Walter Childs of Springfield, Bill Simons of Beverly, and Bruno Funicella of Cambridge.

CHAMPIONSHIP CLAIMED FOR
 CLUB CADETS
Willing to Meet St. Joseph Big Five for City
 HOnOrS

The Boys Club Cadets, senior representative team of the local Boys Club, hears the end of their present season with a colorful standing of 25 games played winning 20 and losing but five contests for the year.
 They have amassed total of 1924 points against a 849 number of their opponents. Games have been played with teams throughout the state against some of the leading semi pro clubs around.
 No Deal
 In that they have been unable to make negotiations to date with the only other somi-pro organized team of the city, St. Josephs' of Brook lyn, they feel justified in laying claim to the city title in this di- vision. Repeated negotiations to book the Brooklyn team were Of no avail al Through the season, and the team is still willing to play the St. Joes a game or series of games on any basis that they wish to settle the dispute.
 Impressive
 Teams that the Soldiers have de- feated include: U. s. Rubber CD; Meriden Knights, New Britain Boys Club, Danbury Big Five, Community Big Five of Meriden @, Bentleys U. s. Royals of Manchester CD, Scirpo Brothers of Middletown, Wa terbury Y. M. H. A., Waterbury St. Stans, Clock Shop, Hartford Colored Renaissance, Mattatuck College, Hartford Sticks, Winchendon Boys Club of Winchendon, Mass, Ionick Boys Club, Worcester, Mass, and the Boston Boys Club of Boston, Mass.
 Not Bad
 The team competed in two tour naments during the season. They were quarter -finalists in the state tourney played here in Waterbury, and in Boston, Mass, they were semi- -finalists in the first Annual New England Boys Club Tourney staged there two weeks ago.
 The teams personnel includes: Harry Huey, James Crichton, Paddy Damelio, Pal Dilucia, Frank Pugliese, Joe Joyce, John Griffin Howard Loughlin, Cliff Loughlin, Rocco Ri- naldi, and Weenie Zennick. The team was coached by Dan Briottl, and the managerial end was sandled by Joe Tovano and Ted ODonnell.

DUBLIN PILOT TO SHOW PROSPECT IN THIS COUNTRY
Gerald Egan Confident of Irish Comeback k'-Mar.
 rinan Best Heavy
By GEORGE KIRKsEY United Press Stan COrrespOndent)


 United Press Stan COrrespOndent)
 A renaissance in the art of hsti- cuffs is underway in Ireland and such progress has been made that an early invasion of the United States will be made in an attempt to win back some or the vanished Irish glory in the prize ring.
 When John L. Sullivan ruled the heavyweights with his fists and boasted T can whip any man in the house." every division had an Irish champion or near champion-such stout-hearted fighting men as Mike O'Dowd, middleweight; Tommy Ryan, welterweight; Jack McAuliffe, lightweight; and Terrible Terry Me- Govern, featherweight.
 Rounded Elm Up
 Gerald D. Egan, young Dublin promoter here to sign up talent for his shows, revealed that he has 18 promising fighters training in his gymnasium to regain that state of affairs and that everywhere in the Irish Free State youngsters who are adept with their fists are anxious to enter the professional ring.
 There is every reason to believe that Ireland will re-establish itself in the boxing world," Egan said. T have brought the best prospects in all Ireland to train in my Dublin gymnasium ana the results have been more than pleasing. Although I may not have potential cham pion in the present group the time isn't far away when another na- tive born Irishman will win 8 world title."
 Egan plans to bring three of his best fighters to New York in Sep tember. One Of them will be Mosse Condon, welterweight champion of Ireland, and probably two heavy weights. The best three heavy weight prospects in Ireland are Pat Desmond Pat Marrinan and Tom Casey, according to Egan. He con- siders Marrinan the best, and ex- poets him to win the Irish heavy weight title.
 NO DOyleS
 q promise that any fighters I bring here will not be of the type of Jack Doyle, who was knocked out by Buddy Baer," said Egan.
 Egan already has booked Bob Olin, former light heavyweight champion, Walter Neusel of Ger many and Eric Seelig of Germany, both of whom have fought here, for Dublin matches. He also has ar- ranged for Danno "OMahoney, claimant to the heavyweight wrest- ling title who is considered Ire- lands national sports hero, for an appearance in Dublin in July. Egan says he expects OMahoney to draw 8 crowd of 50,000 and receipts of over $100,O00.

 IN TITLE GAME

The Eagles will attempt to gain the basketball title of the Brooklyn Y. M. c. A. house league as both teams enter into what may be the final seasonal contest at the Wash ington avenue surface tonight at 7:30 o'clock. The clubs at this time are deadlocked for the lead in the second and final series and a win for the Speedboys will be the cue for all players to put away the uni- forms. The Speedboys won the first series. In event the Eagles win this evening, they will be acclaimed as the winners of the final half and will again meet their opponents at the hut gym on Thursday for the season flag.

At a meeting of managers and of- ficials of the Italian American base ball league last night, the Court Verdi team, Foresters of America was admitted to membership in the league which will probably open the season with six teams, an increase of two over the quartet that had a very enjoyable season last year. George Greece was named league umpire again, while Ernie Stance will probably be named later. Sea- sonal opening has been set for May 9th with entry fee due and payable on April 27th at the latest, accord ing to President Pete DiLeo. Johnny Perrazella will manage the Verdi team.

The game with the Chicago Cubs at Gadsden, Ala, yesterday was halted after one in- ming, much to the delight of both clubs who took exception to the hill- and-dale surface of the infleld, and submerged outfield.

(Written For United PreSS)
 Well, this will be my Fist Boston A. A. marathon and I've been able to win the grind only once-back in 1917. But I've finished third, fifth, sixth, eighth, and I've been ninth three times, so I haven't done so badly.
 Incidentally, this year marks my seventh attempt to make the U. S. olympic squad but am yet to hit.
 I've trained extra hard this year and honestly feel that I'm in much better shape than at any time in the past 10 years. I'm definitely in the running for an olympic mara thon post, and intend to run in the National A. A. U. marathon at Washington May 30 as well as the Boston run.
 Easy Start
 I started active training January 10th with a one-mile walk. Every other day for the first month I walked a little farther, with now and then 8 run. On February 1, I started running every other day with the long run on Sunday. Up to April had covered 500 miles.
 My training schedule has shown results, because I'm now four pounds lighter than a year ago. I don't fol- low any rigid diet but I do avoid foods that are not strength builders. For years I have eaten only two meals aday. While in training I try to eat plenty of sweets-chocolate, candy and plenty of sugar in my tea or coffee.
 Takes A Beer
 But don't get the idea that we athletes become nuts and think of nothing but eating and living 8 hermit's life to condition ourselves. Hell, when I feel a desire for a glass of beer or two I drink 1t.
 Pat Dengis of Baltimore is one of the boys they'll have to watch in this years B. A. A. race. Pat is about due. In my opinion, the 20- mile North Medford Club run in March hurt Johnny Kelly (1935 B. A. A. winner) some. My own best asset will be a tough old Irish heart that won't let me quit when my common sense tells me to.

FOR SHORTER CAMPAIGNS

The issues of the campaign which today draws
to it's end have been transcendantly important BUT
for this fact it seems certain that long before ths
eleventh hour the American people would have re-
belled against the conditions and circumstances Oh
this endless campaign, the most highly mechanizea
in American history The lesson of 193o-the les
son in campaign machinery = surely is that 'he
United States is ripe for an election reform along
the lines of that which eliminated the "lame-duck
session of congress and pushed Inauguration day
back from March to January 20. Such scheme
might be simply effected by holding the two NOM
mating conventions in September instead of June,
shortening the campaign to period of not over
month or six weeks.
For the last month or so, this reporter-whose
attendance at political rallies matter of bust
ness-has made it practice to ask friends and ac-
quaintances: did you hear Landon last night"'
or Roosevelt, or Hoover, or Smith In percent
age which grew from about so per cent in Septem-
Der to 80 per cent during the last, crucial week of
the campaign, the response has been: "No, |
couldn't listen :. . | had to do something else :"
or, more typically, "Well, heard part of it."
Which was a polite confession that the dial had
been quickly snapped off. A minority of not over
20 per cent really listened to the speeches.-E. d.
Canham in Christian Science Monitor.

1T ALWAYS WORKS

Our pet definition of either a Liberal or Pro-
gressive politically is one who believes in govern
ments spending more and more of other peoples
money. Mr. Roosevelt is a Liberal. DR.. Mcdonald
is Liberal. The La Toilette boys Progressives.
They all believe in bigger and better spending pro-
grams.
Perhaps the two most Liberal-or Progressive;
the terms are interchangeable = newspapers in
North Carolina The Raleigh News and Observer
and The Winston-Salem Journal. Hence, it is not
surprising to find them both advocating the adop-
ton of that proposed State constitutional amend
nent which would raise the income tax limit to 10
per cent The desirability or the wisdom of adopt
ing the amendment does not concern US at the mo-
ment we are simply testing our definition again.
It never fails to work-Charlotte News.
