living 1t to gain an idea Of what it
really means according to Mr.. and
Mrs. G. E. Lum, who will celebrate
their sixty-fourth wedding anniver-
sary October 2. according to a story
which was currently printed In a
Yakima paper. The story follows:

This. In itself, Is not too unusual
but the fact that Mr.. and Mrs. Lum
live entirely alone In the home
which they built here In 1893, do
their own housekeeping and cooking
and maintain q lawn and flower

to distinction.

Jacovino and Jimmy Longo to put the team in the victory col- umn. while the Ramblers have Ve- rastro and Bacco as their main- stays. In the second engagement of the evening the strong Wolves and the newly formed Triangle club will encounter each other. The WolveS lost last week to the Tigers when their star forward Dom Covell0 cole lided with the Fiber Forward Fran kie Place and had to leave the game with a cut over his eye. His return would be welcomed by the Wolves The Trangles won last week but face 8 strong opponent tonight and Coach Allen Ouimet's forces had better be on their toes tonight. The last engagement of the evening will bring the Rossi Coached Pals and the strong N. E. Tigers together in what should prove to be the best battle of the evening. Both squads won their initial starts last week and are out to outdo each other to- night. Joe Rossi will depend on his star forward Bub Qutlshanan and Capt. Pete Toilette to bring the ba- con in while the Tigers will depend on Tommy Santa Lucia, and Joe Celentano to upset the Pals.

 HEAVYWEIGHT GO

New Haven, Dec. S-Eighteen "do or die" championship bouts are slated for the state amatuer boxing tournament finals to be held at the arena here tomorrow night. In only two divisions, bantamweight and heavyweight, have the flnalists been determined. In the six other divis- ions, the finalistS will have to fight twice during the evening before winning the championship belts.
 This years finals boast . distinct state flavor. Every large town in the state with the exception of New Haven and Bridgeport is represent ed. Willjaamntic and Waterbury, with i've contestants, are the fight- ingest towns in the state. Hartford and New Britain are close behind with four entries.
 Two of the championship contests are now set. Henry Davis, of New Britain, will meet Sammy Mam- none, Stamford buzz saw, in the bantamweight event; and Johnny Lesco, of Williinantic, will fight Big Boy Carilli, of Hartford, in the heavyweight division.
 The welterweight ranks were knocked for e cooked hat last week when Freddie Pease, WillimantiC stylist, knocked out Al Ervolino, Thompsonville favorite. Pease is now regarded as the favorite, but he will have to get by Joe Triano, of Naugatuck, Mike Masse, of New Britain, and Bobby Ellis, of New Britain, before he can claim the ti- tie.

 Las Vegas was right here, rolling high, wide and handsome, when Rudyard longed for Suez. It's right here today, sporting coat of arms that features a bucking bronco rampant on a field of galloping dice. Its motto freely translated from the original western drawl, reads:

Admist a crowd of wild basketball fans, the lsS7-38 season was in- augurated Monday night at he Community house. Superintendent of Parks James Curtin tossed up the first ball to Ufiicially open the season. Larry Mullen, new director oe the popular circuit was intro duced to the fans and received a tremendous ovation. Good Luck Larry and may this season under your direction, be the best ever, Mike.
 The League got of to a flying start early in the evening when Red Delehanty's Robins downed the Hill Championship outfit in very interesting encounter. The contest was closely played and the Robins had the punch in the closing min- utes which spelled defeat for the Companionship entry.
 The Companionship Club, a new entry who replaced the Hill Jrs. Of last year, showed many stars Of last seasons Junior Loop and with lit- tie more coaching under the dircc- ton of their capable coach "Cubola Wall" they should prove tough for their foe.
 Eddie Pap Griffen made his ini- tial appearance with the Wallmen and drew many cheers and ovations from the crowd. The Wells A. O.. led by Ed "Squint" Murphy, former Crosby captain, gave the Hillies 0 tough battle for 3 periods, although the Hillies led throughout the con- test.
 "Squint Murphy did most of the scoring for the Welles while the playing of Willie Senich and Ray Kozen played a big factor through out.
 Freddie Sullivan lived up to his established reputation and led Red Gladney's Hillies to another we'll earned victory.
 The Doughboys showed few new additions to the team in Frankie Darlington, Ike Block, Big Jim Quilter, and Roy Bates, star of last years Baldwin Preps.
 And listen fans, the Hillies are tough against this season and with out 8 shadow of doubt should finish in the odo. It looks like Red figures his team will again trip the light fantastic on 42d Street by vir- tue of copping the crown.

 We extend c cordial invitation to all the sports writers of the city to come up some evening and witt ness @ few games, I'll guarantee they will spend an enjoyable eve- ming. Frankie Carroll, stellar guard of last seasons Tribes, will be un. able to perform for sometime due to @ crushed hand. Ditto for Guide Cichetti, one of the finest fellows in the league who was badly injured In an accident last week. Good luck boys and a speedy recovery.
 Sock Mccormick handled the games in great style, working like Q champ. The Wells A. c. and the Companionship Club were fortified with cheering sections all evening. The teams from lower Baldwin street, section draw the largest crowds at the weekly contests.
 Billy Phelan, former Tribune and Wells star, did. not appear in uni- form last game and according to all reports he will remain idle this season.
 Mac McGrath of the Companion ship Club earned himself the title of Rough House when he had three fouls on him in approximately two minutes, Joe Pomponio of the Hillies has also joined the list of retired players. Danny Kerwin predicts Tribune victory this year along with the Honey Naka. dimunittve man. ager, and Johnny Rock the Bil! Corum of Waterbury.
 Now that the fans saw the open ing games they are all enthused to sec who the remaining teams will show. in their rooster. The Props Ire said to have @ strong team but they failed to disclose their names.
 The Tribunes led by Captain Mickey All State Sheehan are ex. pected to exhibit, Eddie Crean, Bud- dy Kelly, Neil Orouke, Felix Longo, Johnny Kelly, Dutch Lapoint, while the Gems A. 0. appear to show s very formidable line up in Joey Quilter, Johnny Thompson, Big Bob Grady, Herby Colby, George Good. win, Eddie Curley. Lefty Kane, Joe Bowey, Bob German and Joe Mavoy.
 The Community Club will show a practical new team. and Coach Jack Crevan say the Clubbers will make it plenty tough for the opposition. Mutter Phelan will captain the Kellymen and will bear watching. Red Vallone speed merchant will be among the missing on account of work. All in all the games are over and l still think that most of boys are of form and need plenty of practice,

 |MOGULS REVERSE ACTION ON BALL
National Leaguers Claim "DOubIe CrOss'MaiOr
 Player Deals Off

Limited Press Stan CorregpOndent)
 Chicago, Dec. 0-(UP) - Weary club officials of both major leagues turned their annual joint session with Commissions Kenesaw Noun tain Landis into Q peace conference today in an effort to settle the diS- pute over the jack-rabbit baseball.
 Virtually all hope of Q major deal faded as they assembled. Several managers, fatigued by constant l1aggling and lobby duty during the major and minor league meetings already have gone home.
 The rabbit ball remained 8 live topic, Each league reportedly was irked at the others action which ball for the first time since . stai1d- ball for thefl rst time since Q stand- ard was reached in 1883.
 No sooner had the National league voted to take the zip out of its ofslcial ball than American league owners reversed their stand and guaranteed their own home run hitters continued prosperity ct the expense of the lively ball used in 1887.
 National leaguers felt they were double .crossed when owners m the other circuit, on record last winter as favoring 8 'deader" ball, failed to carry out their announced plan. Three things can happen in to" days joint session.
 1. The vote may stand-Natioll- als with . slowed up ball, Americans with their 1897 ball. 2. The National league may post pone adoption of the slow bell until both leagues have reached agree. ment on 6 standard.
 3. The American league may re. ecind It's No" vote on the dead ball.
 The second choice seemed most logical. The National league, which features tight defensive play and good pitching, probably will not at- temp to shaclsle its offensives fur- ther while American league batters frolic.
 There was slim chance the Amer ican league will adopt the heavier covered ball. Home runs and high scoring games were held responsible for Q box ofilce increase of 1000, GOO over 10S6.
 Only activity on the trading mart today was Q catcher deal which sent Earl Grace of the Philadelphia YataN1ltAn AA AHn ak YAseko No NS1 iv1u 1e, in exchange for Cap Clark, Q youigster who played with the Houston club of the Texas league and Columbus In the American as- sociation.
 Brooklyn still has It's problem child, Pitcher Van Mungo. on its hands with no deal in sight; the Chicago Cubs still were stymied by their own refusal to trade Outfielder Frank Denaree; the proposed deal between the Chicago White Sox and Washington fell through when the Senators refused to accept Zeke Bonura and Lou Berger for Joe Kuhel and Buddy Myer.
 Chicago, Dec. 8-(UP)--The dif- ference between the baSeballs voted on by the two major leagues: American league-the 50. called jack rabbit hall, used since 1910. It has 6 number 3--thin--cover and four strand seams.
 National league - number A. or thicker - cover and five strand seams. This Is slower ball, but livelier than the number i've ball in use during 1883.
 Both leagues have used the num- Der 3 ball since 1884.

CHICAGO BEARS

Washington Redskins Are Slight Choice to Defeat
 Western Champs

Chicago, December 8. - (UP) = The Chicago Bears, finest defensive team in the National Professional Football League, went to work to- day on 6 new set of tricks they hope will throttle slingin' Sammy Baugh and the Washington Red- skins in the league championship game here next Sunday.
 The Bears never have had to dee fend themselves against Baugh's passes and since the Bears aerial defense has been uncertain at times, Washington likely will be g slight favorite. A sellout crowd of 45,O0O, second of the year, will witness the title game.
 Luke Johnsos, coach and former star end, secuted Baugh aS the Redskins rolled over New York last Sunday, 49 to 14, and possibly may have found . way to stop him.
 With a splurge in the final game of the astern Division race, Baugh clicked off il compilations and set a new record of 9D, an average or A4.5 per cent. Green Bay had set the old mark the week before and held second place with 95 comple- tons for an average of 4S.e per cent.
 William T. Halloran of Providence, R, l., was named referee, Ed Coch- rane, Chicago, the umpire, E. F. Hughitt, Buffalo, field judge, and the veteran Bobby Calm of Chicago will be ilead linesma1l.
