 He led a small club to the dummy and ruffed that heart re- turn. Then he cashed the club king and the ace and king of dia- mands, and rufged his last club !n dummy. Now dummy's last heart was led and ruffed with the spade seven. This was the ninth trick for South, and the trump king gave him his tenth trick, whicl1 fulfilled his contract.

The Boys Club Cadets are out to keep intact the record of but one defeat on the club gym even at the expense of the Bristol Pros. Bristol, the home of champions, are represented by Q formidable quintet in the Pros who recently provided the toughest opposition to the Poli "5" losing out by small difference.

The Clubbers are expected to be bolstered with the return of Johnny Griffin and Matty Sheehan, both Poli cagesters. With Damelio again in harness after 6 sojourn of a few weeks together with Weaving, Griffin, Sheehan, Crichton, Rinaldi and the Lough- hns, the opposition wiuld by oil means have to be pretty good to take them. The game is scheduled for 8:45 with Joe Mobile refereeing after which dancing will be en- joyed.
 The Sacred Heart Alumni of the Boys Club Senior league will op- pose the Chestnut Hills of Water town in the prelim. ,.o ..,

narkable patient and came to spring training literally alive with vigor, and Frisch apparently is capable of going on forever. So I tried third base and shortstop to- day Shortstop first.
 I played . hell of Q shortstop. If I may be excused while sound my own bass violin, but a hell of a shortstop is not enough to jeopard- ize the salary of Mister Leo Dur ocher. Leo can really go and get eHn. He works as well off the right side as he does his vaccination side. If there is a better shortstop in baseball than Leo the young man is hiding his light under Q bushel which, as I think you'll agree, is 8 mistake.
 In the first place, nobody can see his light with the bushei on top of 1t. In the second place, he might possibly set fire to the bushel, which might set fire to the barn and which in turn might burn down the whole dam town, thereby causing the modest little man to be branded as Q pyro-inaniac, which, boiled down for the benefit of the feeble- minded readers, is simply fire bug. At third or the "hot corner" I wasn't. Wasn't hot, I mean. Either third base is too close to home plate or home plate is too close to third base. I'm not sure, but anyway, bat. ted balls arrive at third base too quickly, and I found myself in a po- sition where my arms and legs were in jeopardy.
 And I'm not a man who is willing to give up his arms and legs too easily. After all, they've been hang ing around me since I was child, and I've become downright attached to them. Incidentally, it's always smart to become attached to your arms and legs. If you don't, you'll have hell of time getting through a swinging door.
 So. having failed as an infielder, was ordered to take a shot at an outfield job. Frisch suggested that have go at left field, because all I would have to do would be to ollst Joe Medwick. This seemed reason- able, Joe having hit paltry 1850 last year. ,s,l So went into the outfield. And 1t was not until the first high fungo had been hit to me by coach Mike Gonzales-to become lost in the sun -did discover that Frisch had | placed me in the Sunfield.
 Tomorro I will explain that knot on my head--and my decision to try out as 8 catcher.
