Are they given jobs? Are they
given courteous service? Do these

given any encouragement?
''The answers to these questions
are largely negative.
These women, enrolling by the

of the above huge sum so that it
will have power. It's power when
pooled has been demonstrated in

Pompton Lakes, N. J. Sept. IT, He isn't a champion in one division yet, but none will censure him for being ambitious. Pedro Montancz, who battles Lou Ambers for the lightweight title at the Polo grounds next week in the carnival of cham pions, already is dreaming of one day winning the welterweight cham pionship of the world.
 Pedro weighed 13S pounds last April when he met Ambers in non- title match, and Lou tipped the beam at 137. When 1t was over Montancz's hand was raised in victory but the championship didn't ride with the conquest.
 q outpointed him when we weighed few pounds over the light weight limit, Pedro explains in broken English, land I am quite sure I can do 1t again. That makes me lightweight champion, of course. Then take on few pounds and tackle welterweights. I met them before. Some day I'm welterweight champ"
 Seferino Garcia who fights Barney Ross for the welterweight crown on the same card, was an eager listener as Montanez unfolded his two-title ambition. The two boxers are great pals around the camp.

 Bo McMillan of Indiana recently bemoaned the fact that "only" 42 men turned out for the football team Red Blaik of Dartmouth has been buryi11g his head against the wailing wall because he has a big replacement problem and a mere handful of 52 players to draw from.
 Awfully said. isn't it?.
 But take a gander at the problem Johnny Sabo of Vermont univer- sity is up against and then let the Messrs. McMillan and Blaik have a good dry if they dare.
 The other day Sabo held open ing practice and guess how many aspirants reported for the Vermont team? .. Seven! (Yes, I said seven) Since then, 16 more have re- ported So all Sabo has to do now is build a team with g men .. And Vermont is scheduled to open the seAson a week from to- morrow against Amherst .. Some fun, huh?
 Yale's Larry Kelley made his farewell to football here last week as a member of an All-Star eleven that played the Boston Shan1rocks, American Professional League champions The great Larry re- portedly received 200 cabbage leaves for his services that night What was 1t MT. Kelley said about not playing professional football?
 Joe Cronin appears to have put the squelcher on rumors he won't be piloting the Red Sox next sea- son He says he is planning to make Boston his permanent ad- dress Anyway, he still has two more to go on his present contract.
 Bob Coleman isn't at all amazed that Milburn Shoffner, the 31-year- old Bees left-hander, is a sensation Bob, who manages the Bees Scranton farm from whence Shoff- ner came, explains 1t this way:
 "A left-handed pitcher really doesn't start going good until he's about 29 I've found from ex- perience that southpaws are slow starters and get better as they get older :. It's another one of those pecularities of left-handers that you just can't explain Shoffner should be good for at least four or five years more in the majors.
 It looks as if Coleman's got sorne- thing there After all, Carl Hub bell and Lefty Grove aren't exact. ly infants King Carl is B and Ole Nose is 36 And still they're going very hot.
 Are there any ancient left-hand- CTS in the house?

Rookie With Big Ears Hurls ShutOut Over
 Pittsburgh Pirates
BY GEORGE KIRKsEY

United Press StaR Correspondent)
 New oYrk, Sept. 17. (UP)-The Giants rode on toward the National league pennant today on momentum supplied by Cliff Melton, the rookie with the big ears.
 Melton, whose angular 6-foot, g. inch frame gives him an Ichabod Crane appearance, blazed his fast one past the Pittsburgh Pirates yes- terday, and pitched the Giants to a 80 victory, enabling them to move 1-2 games ahead of the Chicago Cubs. It was Melto1's i7th victory against nine defeats. Only three other National league pitchers have won more gameS-Hubbell 19, and Warneke and Turner IS each.
 Yesterdays triumph gave the Giants 16 victories in 9 games with the Pirates, completing their sched- ule with Pittsburgh. They mayed into Cincinnati for single games to- day and tomorrow.
 Jim Turner kept in the race for the freshman laurels when he pitch- ed the Boston Bees to a 7-0 victory over the Cubs. It was Turner's 18th triumph and fifth shutout. He al- lowed only 2 hits. The Bees pounded five Cub pitchers for 14 hits.
 Brooklyn and Cincinnati divided another doubleheader, their third in three days. The Dodgers, aided by five Red errors, won the opener, 8-5, and the Reds took the I1ightcap, 5-1, behind Joe CaScarellas 7-htt pitching. The St. Louis Cardinals strengthened their hold on third place, taking 0 doubleheader from the Phillies, 6-2 and 8-1. Bob Weil- and won his 18th victory in the opener, and rookie Krist hurled eight-hit ball to take the second game.
 The Yankees increased their lead to 10 1-2 games by beating Cleve- land, 80. Lefty Gomez held the 1r- dians to 3 hits, winning his 18th game, first American leaguer to reach that figure. Only one Indian reached third.
 In the other two American league games Washington beat Deroit, 7-6, adn the Athletics nosed out the Browns, 4-3. Al Simmons had per- feet day, A for f." Harry Kelley pitched and batted the As to vic- tory, allowing only six hits and driv- ing in the winning run with c double.
