HAND BALL RULER
ROSE IN ODD WAY
PIatak Forced to Tie Left

BY the Associated Press.

~ tAC noSoSlateO 1Icbn.
~ HICAGO, March 30.-Joe Pla-
tax, who had to "lasso" his
left hand to develop Z shot
~ with his right, thinks he may
be lucky enough this week to become
the third player to win three corsecu-
tive national singles hand ball cham

killing drives from either hand, and
competitors say he is one Of the finest
all-around players of recent years.
The husky Chicago star won the
1885 national crown at Washington
and repeated last year at Los Angeles.
But behind his rise to prominence is
story of dogged perseverance; Of
hours Of practice against garage walls
and homemade" courts near his
home.
Always Good With Left.
COULD make good shots with my
left hand from the start" he re-
called, "but I might just as well been
without right hand, so little did
use it. I entered few small tourna-
ments and went out quickly, 50 had
to do something.
Il fixed rope harness and fastened
my left hand behind my back. Hour
after hour I worked like that, even
playing games with far better players"
His determination paid dividends in
1888. He went out of the national
only after giving Angelo Trulio, New
York star, hard game. He concen-

wv only two years in Wash

pearance tonight in the form Of an
American European rivalry, as the
international table tennis troupe
comes to Heurich's gymnasium for a
tvo-hour show
When the first celluloid is put into
play at $3.50 o'clock, 1t will mark the
second time in two years that the
Capital has played host to a major
table tennis event. The American
zone championships were held here
last year.
Nothing like the caliber of tonights
performers ever has been seen in the
Capital, however. Led by Standa Ko-
lar, the present world champion from
Czechoslovakia, the cast includes Ko-
lars European teammate, LaSZlo Bel
lax, the most sensational player in the
game today, and the two Americans,
Robert (Bud) Blattner and Sander
Glance, who share the world doubles
title.
Blattner Is Americas Hope.
1--WE matches, four Of them singles,
will decide the winner between the
American and European teams. Glance
will play Bellak in the opening match.
just before Blattner, the 17-year-old
st. Louisan, tackles Champion Kolar
After that comes the doubles between
the Blattner-Glancz and Kolar-Bellak
combination. Singles matches be-
tween Glance and Kolar and Blattner
and Bellak will wind up the team COM
petition.
An extra attraction will wind up the
evenings activities when Kolar meets
Bellak in a special exhibition
II tonights dope runs true to form,
the American-European contest will
be decided by a single point, as in
every one Of the % previous matches,
the score has been 80. OF these, the
Europeans have won IS; the Amer
leans, T.
Because of their distinct abilities,
every match on the program seems
worth the price Of admission Those
involving the world champion are at
tractive for obvious reasons and his
match with Blattner especially, be-
cause of the fact that the young
American has been beating the games
best almost as much as kolar has
beaten him. The st. Louis kid, still
In his teens, is regarded as this coun-
try's best hope to capture the world
singles championship in the not too
distant future and his work against
the holder of that title should prove
interesting for that angle alone.

here. This information came from
Arthur E. Moran, manager OF the
Burlington Knights of. Columbus
team, which last night won its match
against the local Caseys at Tad How
ards Rendezvous.
"We have the same duckpin set-up
at home apparently as you have here, ="
the Vermont bowler stated.
"Candlepins have been taboo in
Burlington for about Is years. We
are close to several towns having
duckpin factories, so I suppose that's
the reason. Burlington is the only
town in the State that doesn't roll
candlepins," he added.
THE four alleys at the K. OF c.
Hall are crowded from early after
noon to late at night. There are two
public establishments of and II
drives and other clubs with = pair OF

alley. I know the is or so leagues
now operating could be tripled.
"Who is the city's leading bowler" !"

"Why, Mario Izzo. captain
Of our team. He holds most

flashed back.

numbered by the hundreds Of
thousands" said Allen today, land a
great percentage of them are serious
minded competitors. The game gives
a man opportunity to exercise about
all there is in his athletic makeup.
A topnotch horseshoe pitcher must
have muscular coordination, stamina,
self-control, concentration, competi-
tive spirit and keen observation-there
are signs that give away fellow who
lacks confidence and in horseshoe
pitching, as in other games, to know
the other chap is not sure Of himself
is great help"
Allen for four years has held the
championship, but due he says, to the
recent widespread development Of
horseshoe pitching. no man can say
that a pitcher with more wizardry
than he isn't tossing 'em somewhere.
A competitive soul, Allen wants an
other world tournament such as that
of 1888 at the Chicago Fair in which
he won his diadem.
A. A. U. Pleased Sponsor.
EMPHASIZING the growth of horse
shoe pitching, Allen pointed out
that the game was taken under the
wing of pleased Amateur Athletic
Union at its last national convention.
He's curious over what will be the
A. A. US next move in the manage
ment of the grand old sport.
At last nights meeting groundwork

 Students
 Are Best

MILKAUKEE, wis, Mar. 22. = Brief engagements, minimum of from 20 to A years as the proper age to marry and weddings for stu dents are some of the recommenda- tions. made by Frank Camel, Mill waukee psychologist, who has been conducting Schools of Marriage at various local churches.
 Camel says young women should be at least 20 years old and young men 23 or 24 before they marry because at those ages they are old enough to know what it is all about"
 "All studies seem to indicate that the work of students who marry while in school is improved rather than hindered by their rating he declared. There is no good req son why parents who are able to support their children in school should not continue supporting them after marriage in order that studies may be completed"

Dogs or Owners Fighting Shy
 Of Dog-Catcher

Where, or where is my little dog gone" has passed into oblivion as tune in Juneau, starting today Now everyone knows where the dog is. He is either tied up in the back yard or the city poundmaster knows where he is, and the latter means ''in the dog house"
 There is strong evidence that Juneau dog owners were taking no chances, however, on finding their pooches in the pound as the new ordinance which requires that all dogs be on leash became effective this morning. There seemed to be a total absence of dogs. Whether the owners were taking care of their animals or whether the dogs had just gotten wise" to the fact that life isn't what it used to be re- mains to be seen, according to city officials. At any rate, Chief of Po- lice Roy Hoffman says the dog catcher is right on the job prepared to enforce the ordinance

WASHINGTON, March 22-If all the dodges members of Congress use to escape unwelcome callers were laid end to end you'd won der how anybody ever got into the inner sanctum.
 Some Senators see all corners. That usually is the case when the Senator doesn't have many visitors. Few except the busiest of House members will dodge consistently. They have to go home and ask help every two years, which is quite often
 Ten seconds in the front, office ought to give you the tip on wheth- CT your Senator will see you. If the front office secretary tells you cold ly the Senator is out, you don't rate very high there. If you are told he is out and will be back at a certain hour, things are locking up.

 As a last resort you can go over to the Senate and send in a card by a page asking the Senator to see you. That won't help much, ,ror even if the Senator comes out his mind may be occupied with debate. But ne may make an ap- pointment to see you later-and even the secretary hates to over ride that.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Mar. 22.- Twenty -one-year-o Arthur Cado- gan of Muscatine, Iowa, is an au- thority on how to travel around the world without spending a cent
 Arthur says he accomplished the feat in fifteen months and now is going home to collect a $500 wager from a friend.
 His journey began at Los Ange- les, Oct 26, 1885, when he hitch hiked his first ride toward New York. There he signed on as sto- ker of freighter bound for Eu- rope.
 As he visited most of the world capitals, he said, he always re- fused cash for services he rendered. Thus he never had any cash to spend. either.

LOOK OUT FOR sKIDs

When the secretary sets out to find what you want and begins shuffling you off to some depart ment with explanations to see so and so and then come back and see the Senator later, look out. Your visits on the skids. If for your own personal prestige and for the sake of the boys back home you simply must" see the Senator, don't tell too much. The job of the secretary (often it's a woman) is to impress upon you that meet ing the Senator is as difficult as buttonholing a Cabot in back bay Boston.
 If the secretary asks you to sit down but later arrivals are ush- cred into the inner office ahead of you, your chance is poor, but not hopeless.
 One classic concerns Miss Cora Rubin, Senator Borah's secretary. A magazine writer asked to see the Senator, who was very busy.
 He's not in,' said Miss Rubin
 Where is he?"

 Out went the writer, but as he passed a closed door down the cor ridor he heard the Senators voice. Almost at once Borah came out, the writer had at him for a few questions, then returned to confront Miss Rubin.
