BEAUTY ON ICE
 READY FOR ARENA
Already Famous "Ice Fol- lies of l937" to Show at
 New Haven Next Week

New Haven, Jan. 29 -- The most beautiful girls in the world, every one capable O. stepping off the ice and into the front line of a Zieg- field chorus, will provide much of the glamor when the Ice Follies of 1937" appears at the New Haven Arena next Wednesday and Thurs day evenings.
 They come from the leading en- tertainment centers of the country these opponents of form and fig- ures. Beautiful BesS Ehrhardt, call- ed the Venus of the Ice. joined the Follies after sch had starred in the College Inn in Chicago. The Four Nelson sisters terminated an en- gagement in the Hotel New Yorker to join the lice Follies" and dark eyed, dark-haired Lois Dworshak stepped from the Carlton College campus into a solo skating number with the FollieS.
 Fancy Figures
 New and pulchritudinous stars have won fame with this latest edition of the Follies. Laverne Busher, 8 petite miss from Kansas City. teams with Valerie Fink of Chicago to prove that the figures they cut with their skates are as beautiful a1 the figures they boast. This youthful pair headlined the skating show at the Texas Exposi- ton last summer.
 In one beautiful number, all these girls play the parts of captive maidens in a pirate ship. Ship, girls and all sail out on Arena ice to be captured by Eddie Shipstead and Oscar Johnson. the masters of buff foonery on skates.
 Miss Ehrhardt and the Four Nell son Sisters perform one of the most spectacular and graceful numbers of the entire carnival when they skate "The Yelling of the Sun" a ballet worthy of the Ballet Russe.

DUCES TO SPONSOR
 TRIPLE HEADER

The Duces in an effort to boost their club treasury will run three basketball games Tuesday night, Feb. 9 at the Brooklyn Y court.
 The first game which begins at 6:3O will show Duggan school against B. w. Tinker.
 The other preliminary will bring together the Town Plot Indies and the North End Colonials which shows promise of being an exciting tussle.
 The feature game will stack the Duces against the Greyhound Tro- jans. It has all the earmarks of a thrilling game for thus far the Duces are leading the senior league while the Trojans have few vic- tories chalked up against Brooklyn teams.
 Tickets may be purchased from the club members or admission may be paid at the door.

New York, Jan. 29-UP0-Col- legiate Bob Pastor staked fame and fortune today on a stout heart and a roundhouse right. but the bettors were offering 5-1 those factors were not sufficient to overcome Joe Louis tonight in Madison Square Garden.
 Pastors most impressive victory in 9 engagement was a knockout over the awkward giant Ray Im- pelletierre in his last bout. That op- eration required seven rounds. He is of unquestionable gameness, how ever. He got off the floor six times to earn draw with Eddie Simms of Cleveland-the man Louis kayoed with a first round punch.
 Pastor will be outweighed any where from Is to 20 pounds at the boxing commission office this noon. The New Yor! University graduate will hardly go over 1877, while Louis may weigh 205.

ARCHIBALD EASY FIGHT WINNER
Lemieux Beaten for Third Time By New England
 Champion

Boston, Jan. 29-Joey Archibald of Pawtucket. R. l., reafflrmed his right to the New England featherweight boxing championship when he thoroughly outslassed Eff" Lem- ieux of New Bedford in a 12-round bout at Egleston stadium last night.
 It was the third bout between the pair, the title-holder winning each time, and increasing his margin of victory in every bout.
 Last nights bout was fast, and full of action with Archibald setting the pace, just trific too fast for the challenger. Archibald took the lead at the start of the oout and just to make sure of victory, swarm cd all over Lcmieux during the closing rounds. At no time was eith- CT in danger of being knocked out, though in the fourth round the champion staggered his opponent hwit a left hook to the jaw.
 Archibald weighed 124, and Lein- icuX l22.

You mean to tell me-" asked with a sickening feeling in my heart. "that when you walk couple of players in close game, and the customers start giving you the razz, that you don't hear them? That their Screeches and bleats and in- suits don't beat against your ears, shaking you nightly and threaten inc to get your treasured goat?"
 Hell mo-" he answered. And the same goes for all the other pitch CTS. Any time pitched starts hear ino that junk he might just as well pack his suitcase and wire the folks at home he'll be with 'em soon. Be- cause to hear that noise would mean only one thing-your concentration is gone. And unless you can con- centrate out there on the hill you'll get your ears knocked off every time yuo get out there"
 Paul's blunt answer hurt me deep ly. And I imagine 1t will hurt the feelings of millions of other base ball fans. Because If there is one thing . baseball fan is proud of, its his ability to upset an enemy pitcher in a tight spot. And If Der ringer is right, baseball fans have been living in a fools paradist for years. They haven't bothered any, body. and all the games they took credit for winning with their razzing weren't won by them at all.
 Furthermo.e think of all the energy that has been waste din baseball parks in the past 50 years. If all the power used to clap the hands of excited fans had been har- messed and turned into electric cur- re.,t, every man, woman and child in this country would be able to wear a miners cap and keep the light on 1t burning night and day. And enough power has been wasted in banging feet against the floor to manufacture a pair of high-but- ton shoes for every person in this country. Of course, maybe its bet- ter that this power wasn't used for this purpose, as there may be some men and women who would be un- happy wearing a lighted miners cap and high-button shoes.
 Derringer, once we settled the noise issue. expressed the opinion that Pittsburgh would win the Na- tional League pennant this year; that Charley Dressen of the Reds was far and away the best manager in the league; that he couldn't hope to wine more games than he did last year Cl9) because a pitcher tire a little each year.; that Lon Warneke's arm must not be healed because before he hurt 1t he wsa a fast-ball pitcher and now he has to rely on his curve; and that he wihes he could pitch against the Cubs all the time. being as he licked them six times last year.

RAINAULT WOULD
 PROMOTE 60 IN .SPRIN GFIEL.D
Talks of $I5,OOO Offer to. Brown Bomber; Charge
 $l0 "TOps"
By ERNEST BARCELLA United Press Stan Corresponds

United Press Stan Correspondent
 Boston, Jan 2o.-OUP)-The so- ciety for Prevention of Cruelty to Boxing Addicts met in an obscure telephone booth today to discuss the proposed negro world heavyweight championship" bout between Joe Louis and Unknown Winston, Hart ford's one-time springboard cham pion.
 Father of the stupendous idea that would send the two chocolate colored chaps into the same ring is MT. Homer c. Rainault, the Holyoke promoter-night club proprietor.
 We suspected at first that some body with a sense of humor had been buzzing into MT. Rainault,s ear. But the Holyoke gentleman farmer, dog-fancier and former cigar-maker says he's dead serious about the whole thing.
 Big Time Stuff
 The so-called "championship" bout would be held at Springfield's Eastern States Coliseum, possibly in mid-May. Rainault claims he has offered Detroit's dark devastator $l5,000 and Winston $5,000. Just to prove he isn't fooling, Rainault adds he will go to New York Tuesday to confer with Promoter ike Jacobs. who must be consulted in fight plans involving r. Louis.
 The ldea or S-WinSton championship" fight seems pretty ludicrous from almost any angle that is, any angle except the pro- motional. And that's where you have to give Rainault credit.
 It 50 happens that Louis has never made professional appear ance in this part of the country since he set the boxing world afire. There has been talk that he's been signed by a Boston group to meet New England heavyweight cham pion Al Mccoy in one of the Hub ball parks this summer.
 Maybe we're taking too much for granted, but 1t appears obvious that Louis New England debut would pack 'em in. MT. Rainault must fig ure the same way. too, and it seems NS" ooo Oo pCdt tIlc bOSLOIl CfOWQ to the punch. Or should we say the gate?
 Tanker
 What the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Boxing Addicts prob ably will discuss in particular is the Winston part of the project. You see, 1t was this same Winston fellow who started former Heavy weight Champion Jack Sharkey on his comeback trail here IA months ago. The thing was billed as a box ing mtach, but 1t actually devel- oped into 8 diving exhibition. It's really too bad the customers didn't fbring along their umbrellas and hip boots for that one. For thouEl, the records say Sharkey kayoed Win ston ill two rounds, you didn't even have to look to know that Winston went into the tank-tl1e splash was that loud.
 And now, MT. Rainault aims to serve this same Winston up to the New England boxing public at pro- posed fees ranging from $2.2O to $1O.
 No wonder the s. P. c. B. A. is in extraordinary session.

TRONSKY WINNER 7 AT THOMAST0N

Thomaston, Jan. 29--No less than 164 pins in one string toppled over with no apparent effort on the part of Nick Tronsky when he met Frank Crosse, local pin artist. at the Thomaston Bowling alleys last night, which helped pile up the A pin surplus he had over his oppo- nent at the end of the five strings.
 Crosse rolled very good game in spite of the fact that an added ef- fort to pin them caused him to miss several spare leads that he wouldn't ordinarily ignore. In the last string, played with much more confidence, he pinned 153, Il less than the eX- champ. It was a good match and each of the contestants came in for his share of applause from the en- thusiastic fans who packed the all leyS.
