ILLINOIS PIN
 TEAM SECOND.
Cicero Bowlers Hit 3,OS9 as .Runners=up in ABC;
 New Doubles Leaders

New York, April 16-(UP) Two new names appeared amt lg the leaders of the f1ve-man team stand ings of the American Bowling Con- gress today as six top-notch mid- west teams attempted to better the current high scores.
 The Windy City Bowling associa- tion of Cicero, H., threatened the leading Krakow's of Detroit last night by piling up strikes for total of 3,089 and second place. The game scores were 1.008, 1,042 and 1,039. Only three pins behind was Behringer Diamonds of Buffalo who took third place in the team stand ings with a 3,086. After starting ordinarily with 953 they scored a 1,058 in the second game and fin- ished of in blaze of strikes for 1,075.
 Despite the high scores at the top several of the list teams scheduled for tonight are potential threats to all places. Deroit will be repre- sented by Stroh's Bohemian Beer, 1884 champions, Hank Smiths and Pfeiffer's Beer. With Strohs will be Walter Reppenhagen all-events champion in 1884. Waldorf Golden Boch and Texaco from Cleveland also are threats.
 Yesterday was a big day on the Armory alleys for strikes and the switching of leaders. First place in the two-man event went overheard, and new names were recorded for fifth in the singles, and second and fifth in the all-events. For the day there were 13 two-man totals of 1,200 or better, and IA singles series of 645 or more.
 Leadership in the doubles event is shared by two cities. Virgil Gibbs of Kansas City and Nelson Burton of Dallas having teamed for a to- tai of 1859. They lost chance to break the all-time record of 1,415 in the last game. Needing only Al, less than either of their first two games, Gibbs faltered with a 160. Burton kept hot turning in 694, which coupled with the 659 of his team event score and singles 623 game him a total of 1876 and sec ond place in the all-events.

only by the rumble and .screeching of passing trains, the royal band will be given a signal. With the first notes of the anthem from the royal musicians, the royal standard raiser, with beautiful timing, will give the flag qank and send its scurrying two-thirds of the way up the pole, aced with the challenge of finishing the anthem before the standard reaches the top of the mast, ten feet away, the band responds with a rendition that enables true music lovers to hear Francis Scott Key whirling in his grave.
 The pageantry then will move with quickened tempo. The hirelings will make a return march to the royal dugouts and provide the spec tators with brief but colorful be- hind-the-scenes ceremony. Royal stockings will be yanked up, and royal garters snapped into place. Great glups of water fill be swigged from the royal functions in the cor ner of the dugouts. Dirt will be knocked off royal sandals. Royal hands will be royalty spit upon.
 And then, after a few royal fun- goes have been hit the coronation will be over and King Baseball, slip ping off his shoes, will settle back until October when the other sports kings will return and shove him into the shadows.

W. 4. DIXIE ROUT
 RANGERS IN FINALE

The Washington Hill Dixies end- ed their season last night at the Brooklyn Y with a victory over the highly touted Rangers to the tune of 49-12. The victory marked the 23rd in 25 starts during the past season. The losers had many draft ed players but found the winners passing too powerful. The teams played on even terms the first quar- ter, but due to some fine shooting by the Dixies the goining was tough. A young Polish lad named Wally Tunnel and a Irishman named Jack ie Bannon led the winners. attack with 19 and 12 points respectively. The winners were out in front at half time 15-4, after a strong pep talk the Dixies shot the works. Due to the fine shooting of Tunnel and Bannon the losers were baff1ed dur ing the last half. Andy Rozum played a fine game for the winners and also garnered nnie points. Fuo- co stood out for the losers. The game was well handled by Santora, who had to separate the boys many times. A near riot was caused when Dick pushed Bannon into the wall but was separated by the respective players. of both sides. The box score:

Today's Sport
 Parade By HENRY McLEMORE fTInited Press Staff Corresnondent,
United Press Staff Correspondent,

New York, April IT. (UP)-The world record for mass abdication will be broken on Monday when King Football, King Horse, King Tennis, King Rifle Shooting, King Canoeing, King Badminton, King Water Polo and dozens of other kings, step down to make for King Baseball.
 Indeed, about the only sporting king who will withstand baseballs assault on the throne room will be that enduring monarch, King Lev insky. King Levinskl will escape be- cause he's in London and so com- pletely lost in the fog-his own (caps) fog-that finding him would be impossible.
 The signal for the wholesale ab- dication on Monday will come (and I have this straight from at least 200 sportswriters all over the coun- try) when a group of sad-eyed cour- tiers, wearing two-pants blue suits with shiny seats, wave whiskbrooms and below:
 11dy 0b1s
 With this cry King Baseball, still wearing the crown of grapefruit and lemons he wore in the coronation rehearsals in the citrus and slot machine belt, will ascend the throne. Music for the occasion will consist of the sound of horsehide striking willow and ash, the crunshing of model T peanuts, and the bite of cleated shoe into crisp turf. Above this music will rise the sound of Judge Pike's peak Landis hitting a tee shot down the fairway of his favorite golf course. The shot will split the middle, because the judge hits a golf ball the same way he reners decisions.
 The moment King Baseball plops into the royal rocking chair the pageantry,- insofar aSe spectacular boredom is concerned, will reach its height. With the immaculate preci- sion of leaves caught in a sudden gust, the kings hirelings, wearing the royal fiannels and chewing the royal cut plug, will shuttle across the broad, bright meadow of the royal enclosure. Then, in the trim, measured ranks of lynch mob, they will surround a flagpole and crouch to attention.

BARNETT BOPPET
 BY BURLY BURPER

Bill Barnett, the Terror of Nova Scotia, proved to be just another burper to Stanley Stills, Hub City wrestler, who took the erstwhile terror over the hurdles and bumps while performing last night at Buckingham hall. Barnett took the first fall in slightly more than F minutes, but the Big Bostonian re- turned with several varieties of heaves, losses, kicks and whatnot to take the next two heats in 7:55 and 8:05.
 Disqualified
 In the Semi-final, Max the Pan- ther struck up several types of ar- tiStic poses and butted Steve Brady out of the ring three times. On the final trip Brady landed spread out on the customers laps in the sec ond row, where, while resting com fortably he received the news that the Panther had been disqualified that he was the winner of the bout. It was a toss-up as to who may have been the most aggressive dur ing the beginning of the bout which lasted 20:15.
 The Red Dragon and Ace Gordon mixed it up for a while, the Dragon wearing his new blue trunks and in the windup as was to be ex- pected, both were disqualified. The bout included about everything not written in the rule book.
 In the other bouts calendered, Steve Ross of Maine took over George Dagilis and Adam Horoschak of Ansonia lost to Lucian Rundeau,
