fourth consecutive public high school

Lincoln Parkers by erasing another
rival nearly out Of the title picture by
trimming Western, 26-25.
Coach Kelley. somewhat chagrined
at the failure of his regular lineup
to shatter the tie in two extra periods,
inserted the slim, speedy Palmer and
yanked Carroll Cotton, one of East.

Hancock Comes Through.

HANCOCK, who has seen little ac.
ton this season. then pumped a
follow shot through the cords to place
the game beyond Roosevelt'S reach,
but it was fitting that Russ Lombardy,
scrappy forward, climaxed the tilt
with foul shot, one of his IS points.
Hancock had entered the fray in the
first quarter when Chick Colley was
forced to the sidelines with an injured
ankle.
Trailing. 22-16. entering the final
quarter, Roosevelt shed its cloak of
caution and feverishly commenced to
close the gap. Frank Bailey. who
paced the comeback, bucketed a field
goal which apparently was to win the
game for the Rough Riders at 27-26,
but overzealouS guarding by Irving
Fogel then paved the way for Cotton
to knot the count for Eastern with a
foul shot.

last season ended, but who has rested
up through the Winter and is coming

who has lost most of his stuff and is
pitching with his head and heart.
The infielder who is trying to get
back that extra step that made him a
wizard in the years that have flown.
The outfielder straining to range the
territory that once was just a hop,
skip and a Jump for him. The catcher
crouching low behind the plate and

that the brash young pitchers are
pouring in at him
There comes a time in every ball
players life when he thinks he'd like
to chuck it and go back to farming or
whatever 1t was he did before he en-
tered base ball. There comes a time
when he knows he must chuck it and
go back to the farm-or the minor

10-round no-decision bout that year,

were those who thought that Dundee

Dundee kept banging away,

He would fight anybody who would
fight him. He fought Benny Leonard

in commenting on the new pass rule,
Benton and Hamilton caught many

Explaining his conversion to the

I've gone overload on some OF them

them come through that know the
chance is always there for kid who
hustles and who has something on
the ball. I can't forget third base
man who was at Marlin with the

couldn't really play third base, no

came one of the greatest outflelders

your correspondent to get down to

cleaned up a tidy 100000 since she
turned professional right after the
