Standing

We wonder just how long the SIG
single game OF the Champagnes and
the 1872 three game OF the Cognacs
will stand. These scores are records
for the season and past weeks
have found no teams even coming
close to these figures. George
0alullo has lost some very valuable
pins the past two weeks and Is now
only 20 pins ahead of Johnny john
son, crack lead-of man Of the
Champagne team. Mike Koran
and Johnny Maher can't seem to
get started this year. Last year they
both sported averages Of better than
100. On the other hand, Dick
White, Fritz Kern. J. B. Delaney.
Gregory and 0alullo are at present
30 far ahead OF last year that there
Is no comparison. The Gin
Cognac clash, scheduled for this
week should prove TO be interesting.
The Gins are In second place while
the "Cogs' are In third, only one
game behind.

Beverage League Notes

After witnessing the elders come
through In the pinches TO take
2-1 victory over the Gins last Friday
night at the A.B.C. alleys. your Sec
rotary has finally decided that It's
no use at all to predict defeats for
the league leaders in any games In
which they take part. They're Just
q tough bunch OF fighters, are not
very much accustomed to being
beaten and upset the dope every
time. They swarmed all over the
highly touted Gins In the first cou-
pie OF games last week but were
beaten In the last when the Gins
finally pulled themselves together
and produced q $50 game, the high
est OF the match. Fritz Kern 362.
and Art Kennedy 1872, as usual led
the winners and j. N. Delaney must
have inspired the team o whole lot
as he snapped out Of his slump with
q 313. For the losers, Capt. Fred
Delaney carried the burden with q
1873 while Schoenmehl had 322 and
J. B. Delaney 304.
The Champagnes and Whistles
put on o good close match AZ the
former team emerged victorious by
a 2-l score. They took the opener
by 4 pins, many thanks TO Jack
Slattery OF the Whiskey team for
missing a one pin spare leave In
the last box. They also won the
second by fairly comfortable mar
gin but were beaten In the last game
by 9 pins when the before men,
toned Jack SlatteYy came through
with O spare and q beautiful eight
I'll In the last box. Capt. Morlarty
and Gregory, both 34i scores, led
the Champagnes and johnson had
3i2. Jack Slattery 32i topped the
WHISTLES while 0alullo had 307 and
"Toddo' Healey came through
with 302.
The Brandies won the first game
against the Cognacs on q low 48T
s.eam score but In spite Of u 512 and
~ 533 In the second and third games
respectively, these scores were not
quite good enough as the Cognacs
finished up strong to hit b17 and $50

four jarring rights to the jaw in
quick succession. They shook the
poor lad down to his calloused
soleS, but they didn't upset him.
Then, finding his man set for a
left, Joe hooked it with every ounce
of energy he possessed and dropped
Tom on his face, almost in Cab
Calloway'S lap.
Braddock, his face alight with
professional admiration for the
man he may have to fight for his
title some day, turned to Gould
and said:
His left hook is his Sunday
punch, not his right. Did you
see him pop that guy with four
rights without SpilIing him and
then bowl him over with one

Gould joined with Jimmy In

Little Joe, after Louis had

The Washington times., 1937-01-27

Louis except that he's a colored
boy and that he lost one fight
the best I've ever seen-by knock
out? Neither circumstance calls
for an apology.
Joe not only has been a credit
to the race that produced him but
he has set an example of honesty
and decency. His losing fight with
Schmeling stamped the lad as
possessing superhuman gameness
in addition to all his other fine
fighting qualities. The manner in
which he took that defeat was in
keeping with the good sportsman
ship and good taste he always has
shown.
There have been reports that
Louis is puffed up like the seat of
an overstuffed parlor chair from

In boxing, for instance, both the

The athletes, the performers if
you prefer, are paid by the pro-

they can draw at the gate as well

Needs New Motif

Anyway, the annual spring hold
out tune is very old. Too old.
1t needs new words and new
music, and the radio angle would
provide a brand-new motif which
should be a welcome relief all
around.
For inStance-bas has by
now made the sale Of radio rights
a very valuable by-product, Ra-
dio returns are definitely aug
menting the turnstiles.
All the way from $1,000 to $780,
900 a year is being paid by a
lone national manufacturer for
exclusive rights to broadcast from
the big league parks. This same
company is also invading the bet
ter minor league pens.
Shortly the word baseball" will
be synonymous with the product

In thus brazenly selling out its
broadcasting rights, baseball ad-
mitS something that it has never
particularly emphasized before
that it isn't so strictly sport as
it once was and that every year
it is becoming more and more a
high-presSure business.
HOW About a Cut!

Joe'S jaw still isn't hard to

likely that Pastor will park a few
on his copper colored chin Friday
night. But Bob's own jaw wants

concrete doesn't stand up under
the stuff he deals out.
''NO inexperienced fighter has
a chance against Louis" said
Gould, analyzing JOe'S style.
"TO beat him, a fighter must
be experienced and cagey and
able to take a punch. He's got
to lay back and wait for his
chance. If he tries to mix it
with Joe, it's just too bad.

Elites Explain
How They Help
Santa Claus
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
1t is always gratifying to re-
ceive an encouraging pat on the
back-that's why we so deeply ap-
preciate the editorial spread you
gave US last week.
The idea of playing Santa was
originated three years ago by
Sam Reed, our present president.
That first year Editor Cecil New
man gave such enthusiastic sup
port that we decided to name the
activity ct h e Elite-Recorder
Christmas Campaign" From the
funds solicited from a compare
lively small group, we gave candy
and toys to about 20 lucky chill
dren. Next year (1936), we set
our goal at so dollars, solicited 40,
gave candy, toys, and mittens to
80 children of 13 families.
This year, wiser by three years
of experience, strengthened by a
bevy of new ideas and plans, we
hope to solicit 100 dollars.
All of the extra-campaign ex-
penses- carfare, letter heads, post
ers, stamps, and the like come
from our regular treasury. Each
year we get a list of names of
children who might need second
visit from Santa; we investigate
these cases, and, on Christmas
Eve-the Elites help Santa.
It's not at all an easy task
either-there's the business of buy
ing large boxes of candy, crates of
fruit, toys, bags for packing them
then the wrapping party on the
END (really, it's more work than
party, then on the night of the
24th, defying cold, or whatever
the weather might be, we pay late
visits to the homes of the chill
dren whose names we had previ-
ously selected.
This campaign would be impos-
sible but for the donations of the
people of the community. The So
licitors in the E1ite-Recorder
Christmas Campaign hope that the
public will give generously when
they come to them for support OF
