of the I. v. Hardware. They grab
bed a lead in the first few minutes
OF play and managed to increase
their advantage as the game wore
on.
With Van Nostrand, Withrow and
Litslefield working the ball down
the floor and with Jack Delozier
stopping the casaba through the
netting with unerring accuracy, the
Golden Staters proved to their fol-
lowers that they will be in the thick
of the battle for TIE loop cham
pionship.
The 20-30 club. in keeping pace
with the Golden Staters, found. the
Bachelors much tougher than they
had anticipated.
The Bachelors matched the 20-30
sharpshooters point for point in the
early part of the game and for a
short while it appeared the Bach
elors might provide the first upset
of the season.
With the opening of the second
quarter, however, the 20-30 team
found the range and had built up
a 1875 lead at halftime. Baskets by
Misenheimer and Sheffield at the
beginning of the second half further
clinched the win and the 20-30 club
stalled through to a victory and a
tie for first place.

Did he think fielder would ever
go through a season without an
error?
"Oh sure. Baseball records are
broken all the time. Some day a
fielder will get all the breaks all
year and wind up without a bobble."
Johnny rates Braves field as the
easiest to play in the major circuit.
He thinks st. Louis and Chicago
are the toughest because of the sun.
Brooklyn is hard, too. Our park
is used for football in the winter,
and that plays the devil with the
turf. With ball rolls out to the
outficld it is likely to do anything
before you can ge. hold of it. That's
especially true of centerfields, where
there's so much territory to cover
Cooney rates Pepper Martin of
the Cards as the hardest player for
an outfielder to handle. Says there
is no way OF knowing where Pepper
will hit the ball.

MIDGET RACES
SLATED AGAIN

While midget, race drivers who
plan to enter the first races of the
season Feb. Z, continued to test the
speed and endurance of their tiny
cars, Pop Evans took time out to
survey the new track at the Ell
Centre speedway which he recently
completed
Evans, generally recognized as
the greatest track expert in the
nation declared the midget oval to
be the finest in the world and pre-
slicted that valley drivers would
smash world records.
The track, which now boasts a
onc-quarter mile coiirse, is 35 feet
wide as compared to last year If
foot track, and is flawless in con-
struction.
Every valley driver is anxiously
awaiting the hour when they can
put their cars on the track and vie
for cash prizes Nearly every driver
has rebuilt his car or purchased a
new auto for this seasons races
and as result officials anticipate
program OF races that will keep
the calmest fans on edge during
the entire day of racing.
Stunt driving. special events and
speed dashes will be featured during
the race season.

If you passed Johnny Cooney on
the street you might take him to
be hat salesman, a taxidermist, a
dentist with offices on the fifth
floor, or almost anthing but the
finest fielding outfielder in the
National baseball league.
But that's what he is-plus one
of the greatest living examples out
side the Salvation Army that a man
may be down but never out.
found Johnny living quietly in
this little city on the gulf, and
readying himself for his 18th sea-
son in baseball. A welterweight
in size-he stands well under six
feet and scales little more than $50
-Cooney is the fellow the baseball
experts counted out OF the game
five years ago. But if you remem-
Der your 1886 records you know
that Johnny, playing centerfield for
the Brooklyns, took part in 1870
games and handled $40 chances with
but two misses for the nearly per-
feet average of 1894. This equalled
the mark established by Len Koen-
ecke of the same club in 1894. 1t
might be noted that Koenecke also
was has been" when he set his
record.
l asked Cooney what made him
miss the two balls he did, thus
spelling his chances for an average
which would stand until something
better than perfection was devised.

tough one. 1t came right out of

Joe Louis, Detroit Negro, who has
caused more heavyweights to choose
another vocation than any fighter
who ever lived, will take it upon
himself to show another ambitious
pugilist that he has entered the
wrong trade.
And experts are willing to bet,
and give lO-1 odds, that the Brown
Bomber will accomplish his task.
Louis. who is 10 times the fighter
he was when Max Schmeling knock
ed him for a loop last year. is one
of the smoothest fighting machines
to enter ring in fight history. He
is slated to become the next worlds
champion just as soon as the worlds
champ signs to meet him.
schmeling still stands in the path
| of the Detroit Negro, but writer's
are advising Schmeling to retire SO
he can be remembered as the man
who beat Louis" for it is generally
conceded that the German will be
lust another target if he climbs
back into the ring with Dctrolts
sensation.
Pastor, who has been doomed as
the most unorthodox fighter in the
business, and therefore the man to
beat Louis won't last five rounds.
Ettore was an unortilodox fighter,
SO was Unzcudun and LevinSky.
What Louis did to them is history
and those three men will remem-
Der the incidents longer than any,
one else.
Pastor, it is true, can hit hard
wish either hand, but he won't be
able to hit the Negro. One sports
writer has advanced three very good
reasons Louis will win. l. Pastor
won't be able to hit Louis. g. Louis
will be able to hit Pastor, and
3. Pastor won't be able to get up
after reason No. 2 is carried out.

Infantile Paralysis Flourishes
 In Summer; Cause Is Unknown
communities.

communities.
 Most cases of infantile paralysis involve young children. Boys and girls are affected in about equal numbers. occasionally, however, in fantile paralysis attacks older per- sons. Thus President Roosevelt and the noted physician, Dr. John Ruh- rah, both were affected in middle life.
 The exact cause of this disease is not kriown although there is plenty of evidence as to the nature of the infection. Thus, theN disease may be transmitted from one mon- key to anotherfi from human be- ing to monkey, and quite ob- viously from one person to another.
 Evidently the infectious material is spread directly in secretions of the nose and throat but apparently may also be spread by human car- rierS. This would seem to be the case because, in many instances, it is impossible to trace a direct con- necticut between the infection of a child and some person who has pre- viouSly had the disease.
 
 Cases of infantile paralysis usually begin to appear in June, increase during July and August, and dim finish in October. The disease dis apears with the first cold spell. Therefore, in the northern part of the United States, most cases oc- cur in August and September; in the south, later in the year.
 Cases of the disease are not. how ever, unduly numerous in the tropi- cal regions, but seem to be confined largely to the temperate zone.
