DAvLIN SCALES ROOKIE HEIGHTS,
 PURPLE PINN|NG
Sandpiper Roller Outdoes CIanHKyler, Holmquist
 Are Runners-up

Forgetting his caste for the nonce, Bob Davlin last night stepped out and hung up a brace of Rookie records for himself in the meeting between the Sandpipers and the Hell Divers at the Elks' last night. With no respect whatsoever for the supposed limitations of Rookie rol- lers, Davlin proceeded to corral himself a single game high of PAP, not bad, and a three-game total full eight pins beyond the six hun dred mark.
 Davlin's nearest rivals were: Hell Diver Ken Kyler, who cut loose with one game of PA; and Leonard Holmquist, Condor who battered over 565 pins in all AS whole, the Rockies did fairly well last night, an even half dozen of them bettering five hundred figures.
 With the large aid of MT. Davlin, the Sandpipers encountered not too much difficulty in taking the de- ciding game of their match, tramp ing in the tracks of the Beagles, who had led off by taking two out of three from the Pintails. The odd game of the finale was stolen by the Magpies from the Condors.
 The Elks' alleys tonight will be in the hands of the Orioles again At 7:30 o'clock the Sagehens open the evening against the Mocking Birds. Next comes the, Bluebirds against the Maxwings at 8:30, and 9:30 o'clock sees the Robins bat tling the Siskins.

BUS BLAKENEY
 Z IS HEADED FOR MAJOR LEAGUE
Pupil of Peerless Dave Ban-
 croft Is Going. Up ~ to Phillies
By L. E. SHELLEY

SIOUX CITY, March 23.--Oliver (Bus) Blakeney-pupil of the peer less Dave Bancfoft--w;ll try to show Connie Mack he has learned suf- ficient share of the tricks that made the Beauty" tops among Ma tional league shortstops 20 years ago
 Philadelphia fans haven't forgot ten the handsome youngster who broke in with the Phillies in 1915 and became the inspirational leader for their pennant drive.
 This spring Bancroft is sending Blakeney to the Athletics with the hope the 23-year-old will create the same stir he did among the Philadelphia faithful. They're much alike. this manager prodigy pair. Bancroft was mar vicious fielder, but never a powerful hitter Blakeney showed the same characteristics with the Sioux City Western League club. A Solo Act
 His fielding was so outstanding however, he earned the distinction of being the No. 1 Western Leaguer to obtain 1887 trial with a major league team.
 Bancroft, who took over the Sioux City management in midsummer of 1886, changed Blakeney's batting stance and produced immediate re- suits. Blakeney boosted his aver age above the 270 mark. 1 The finer arts of shortstopping also were among Bancroft's con tributions to the youngsters fin esse. An even feet tall and weigh ing 160 pounds. Blakeney was re- garded by scouts as major league calibre in fielding ability.
 Fast, he can go any direction to cut down intended base hits. He { has a powerful arm and is an in- {, telligent base runner.
 Born at Peru, Kas., Bus has played baseball since fle was old enough to hold ball. At 10 he was regular on his high school and town teams
 At 16 ile went south with the Chicago White Sox. He was sent to Wichita in the Western League. but failed to make the grade and was released. Blakeney returned to in- dependent baseball, and finally signed with the House of David in 1932.
 His play with the bearded boys attracted Detroit scouts who sign ed him for a trial with the Tigers. They sent Blakeney to Shreveport in the East Dixie league for 1883. He obtained his own release, how ever, to return to the Davids.
 Tn 1895 Blakeney joined Sioux City and has had two good years with the Cowboys.

Sam BreadOn, head or the St Louis Cardinals. probably is the only uniformed ball-playing president of major league club.
 Breadon dons Redbird livery an nually, engages in pepper games romps over training grounds. He says it fits him for the season of administrative work that falls to the commanding officer of base balls greatest systematic ivory hunt.
 AS a youngster on New York's West Side, Breadon was an all- around athlete. Now he plays only golf and baseball, restricting the latter to spring training.
 Like Colonel Jacob Ruppert, own CT of the world champion New York Yankees, Breadon wouldn't know what to do without ball club :. Breadon thinks Pepper Martin epi- tcmizes the Cardinal idea That the Cardinals didn't get the better of the deal that brought Lon Warneke to the Gang and sent First -baseman Rip Collins to the Cubs, because Collins is as good a first -baseman as Warneke is a pitcher" <. That if he had $25 ,000 to bet on ball game, he would want Grover Cleveland Alexander to pitch for his side. Alex in his prime, of course ;. That General issimo Branch Hickey is the great est judge of young baseball talent in the business That all ball. players want to sign with the Car dinalS.
 Breadon has disclosed preliminary details of a Cardinal road company that will tour the country for three months each year as a sort of school for youngsters anxious to have ad- vice from their baseball elders = youngsters who may some day wear Redbirds on their shirt fronts.
 Branch Hickey, Jr. is in charge of the new venture. The Cards are thinking of obtaining the services of 50-year-old Alexander as rowing tutor to the pitchers.
 We would like to have Alex for this job," said Breadon, because a kid will remember what a man of Alex's reputation tells him."
 The Cardinals, Breadon said, have been looking after Alex ever since he quit to go fishing. Breadon is certain he will never forget that climatic act in the 1926 world series when "Old Pete" plodded painfully to the mound from Che faraway bull pen and struck out young Tony Lazzeri with the bases loaded.
 Breadon's baseball philosophy is simply you've gotta win" The bombastic Branch Hickey crashes into the public prints with startling regularity. but the president of the Gashouse Saturday Night Social ( Athletic Association is content to

MIAMI, Florida, March B. = Champion Jim Braddock has found his last few days fully occupied in eluding process servers who are endeavoring to present him with a summons to appear before a New York Court on April 8, for the pur- pose of explaining just why he should not be restrained from meet ing Joe Louis in Chicago, June g, without first entering the ring against Max Schmeling for the benefit of the Madison Square Gar den Corporation.
