Daytona BeacK, Fla, April 1--(UPl Two days ago this wire was de- livered to me in New York as I sat at my desk wondering just how long it had been since 1 had licked the dasher of an ice cream freezer:
 You Are Short Stop Better Hurry It. tSigned Frank)". The wire was from Daytona Beach. The 6t. Louis Cardinals train iil that city. And the manager of the Cardinals Is named Frank. The same Frank Frisch who refused to meet my de- mands when I was . rookie with the Cardinals forcing me to be- come a hold out.
 The wire, it seemed to me, could mean but one thing and it chased the thoughts of ice cream dhshers out of my head. Frisch had slir- rendered. He wanted me to hurry south and start playing short stop for St. Louis, and to show that he felt no bitterness he had simply signed his first name to the wire.
 My heart sank as I packed ready to take a plane within the hour which would rush me to the aid of those who needed me. ! could once again feel screaming bunts coming off my bat; I could feel the ball slipping through my fingers; I could almost hear the roar of the crowd as I was taken out for pinch hitter.
 Those were my feelings in New York and they were still my reel- ings when I reached Daytona Beach this morning. With Franks wire clutched in my hand I hurried to the ball park to find 1t deserted ex- cept for the groundkeeper who was leaning against the club house door.
 Where's the team?" asked.
 "In St. Peter, playing the Tanks. What are you doing back down here?"
 I showed him the wire.
 "Well maybe so," he said, "but MT. Frisch told me yesterday to clean out your locker and give your suit to the bat boy. He said you never would be back-not while he was managing the ball club, any. how"

St. Lucy's Bowling
 League Bits
lBY Po-KUM)

Suspension hovers over the heads of all bowlers of the first four teams who are fighting for First place aS the. season draws to close the ard-hitting first place Zammas still can't be too sure of their top position due to the up and com- ing Efers led by their "jauggernault" Joe Mazzie. These Efers have start ed from the celler to knock over all opposition and land in second place two games from first. Also tied for second are the Ebrons, who are also strong contenders due to the improved bowling of Fr. Riccio and Domenic Telesco.
 The biggest disappointment of the season are the ZaraS who were set- ting the pace with the Zammas and have slipped as badly as Rudy Mazzie; down to third place, five games behind first. The morale of the team seems to have broken be- cause of the three game defeat pinned on them by the Ebrons. Come and snap out of it, you xaraS and show your real mettle when the going is tough"
 By the looks of the standing the Asirs and the Rubens are out of t. The Rubens were taken over for three straight by the zammas and the ASirs managed to squeeze in one game from the Efers.
 Wonder what, Jo-Jo Summa the hop. skip and jump bowler of the zammas Is telling "Skiddo" Mar tino and Barney" because they cer- 4ainly are showing different scores than earlier in the season.
 If "Cheech" Esposito could show the same scores on golf course as he does on bowling alley he would cop all the open tournaments in the country.
 Winnie" Stolfi, who soon will middle e-aisle 1t, seems to have more on the ball than Carl Hubbell prob- ably 1t is the impending event. Your captain stated that if you keep go- ing the way you are he fears you will be holdout next season.
 Don't forget boys the bowling date 4s set for Friday night as usual and not Thursday as some of the boys had understood. A 100 per cent Attendance is expected.

Boys' Club Finish Stronr

The Boys Club Big Five, repre- senting the pick of the Boys Club and sporting many Cadet stars, were hard pressed to take a 32-26 ver- dict from a scrappy crew of young sters who represented the Pals.
 The Pals started off fast and got away with an 8-2 lead which left the Boys Club five completely baffle and dumbfounded. Then slow ly and surely the Boys Club out fit pulled themselves together and managed to gain a 11-10 lead at the halfway mark. The Big Five ag- gregation kept slim 24-2O at the third quarter and managed to add another eight tallies versus their op- ponents six before the ending of the game. The Loughlin brothers, zenick and Joe Rinaldi and H. Chestone figured prominently for the crews. The score:

Blue Mirrors In Easy Pin Win At ThOmaStOn

Rolling as steadily as the prover- bial clock, the Blue Mirror Grill team went to Thomaston last eve ming and came back with a 123 pin margin of victory over a Thomaston team that was unable to hit ITS while the winners were just three pins short of 1900. Joe LovalIo, the eminent east end ravioli fancier, scored 428 by Virtue of some slick pin-toprling which was less than five pins apart in all three games and showing from left to right 143, l45 and 140. Jimmy Silent Barber, the convincing conversationalist was also in good form with 133, 120 and 137 as his 39O contribution for the evening. Kane's 3T8 was tops for Thomaston. Scores:

ST ANN ANDBOYS CLUB TEAMS IN TITLE CONTEST
Final Junior Tourney Game TOnight-.C COniites,
 Pals Lose

The St. Anns All Stars who showed ttnever-eay- spirit and playing as to script, sprung 6 thrilling upset on the ''Y" Conites in grand style by Walloping them 35-25, before 8 large crowd in the feature serni-finAl game of the night, played at the Pearl street surface. Tn the other contest of the night the Boys Club Big Five had to put on a last minute attack to offset the hard scrappy Pals from the North End aY", who put on a wonderful display of shooting and passing which had the crowd yelling and applauding for more. The final score stood 32-26.
 St. Ann's Win i'm Closing Rally
 Led by blonde-haired Joe Runi- vidge, former Wilby high brilliant and Dutch LaPointe, Chase Indus- trial courtster, the flying French men broke the Comites' spirit by the very deliberateness of their att tack. Slowly passing the leather around near the "YIs" foul circle, the star French pair waited until one or more colleagues were loose to flip the leather.
 The St. Ann's outfit were behind at the half 14-1O but bombarded the hoops to obtain a 24-20 advantage at the end of the third session as the "" Comites went to pieces.
 The first half was a thriller with the Comites starting out fast, gar- nering total of 8 points against two before the Trenches had a chance to get started, but the St. Ann's contingent came back strong in the second period to score 12 points as to their opponest 8. This put them one basket ahead 16-14 at the half. Then the Flying French men really went to work with La- Pointe leading the attack, as Dutch" gathered in three field goals, aided by the timely hoops of Fisher and Runividge which brought their mark to 24 points while holding the Comites to two field goals and in all 20 markers. Joe Runividge then completed the riot as he went on a scoring ram- page netting himself four more field goals and a foul for good measure
 Fournier, Longeau, Casey and Let gett starred for their respective teams. The score:

 Ha, Ha, fooled you, undoubtedly you all expected slams, slams and more slams, but your correspondent is taking the easy way this week, so here they are, all wool and yard wide, high ones, low ones, the wives will get a kick out of them and per- haps give you kick for not doing better, the sweethearts and others will enjoy comparing you with the fellow on top and vice versa, so here's hoping you're not the fellow on the ground floor. Ats all with the exception of this one thought.
 Out of respect to one who has been with us since the inception of the L. I. P. League and has the re- spect and admiration of every mem Der both as a bowler, good fellow and a real 100 per cent sportsman whether he is on the losing or wirl- ming side, lets bow our heads for just a moment and say prayer for the wife of Anthony zubras who was suddenly taken away from us g few days ago. Everything we said about Tony was applicable to ''Munsy" as she was known to us and her con- genial personality will be sadly missed by every L. I. F. bowler.

DEMAR BOOK ON
 VARIATIONS IS ENTERT AIMING
Veteran Runner at 47, Pre- pares For Next Boston Rurl-Dreams Victories
 5
By ERNEST BARCELLA

United Press StaR CcETegpondent)
 Boston, April i-(UP)-For two reasons, this was significant day in the life of Clarence Harrison Demar, the 48 year old Keene, N. H., printer, teacher, and church and Boy Scout leader whose name is synonymous with marathon rul1- ming.
 He announced that he would coi,l- pete for the 18th time in the B. A. A. marathon here April i9-an, event he has won seven times.
 And he made his debut as author of g l56-page book fittingiy titled Marathon"
 No @Gh0st''
 Unlike many another famed ath-. lete whose life story" actually is the work of ghost" writer, Demar wrote his own book. In this con. nection, the old master of the mar athon explains Tt took me three eeks-night and daq. wolSring IT, or 18 hours out of every 24-to write the book and nearly another week to write a chapter describing a marathon race"
 This ancient ynarathoner," as he has been called, has a forceful, dra- matic and colorful story to tell--a story that's never been told before in Its entirety. And he tells 1t as you like 1t and as no one else could.
 Typical of his simplicity of ex- pression is line that goes like this:
 "The main thing in distance r,,n- ming Is endurance and the ability to get there as quickly as possible"
 He hits straight from the shoulder in revealing that as far as marathon running goes. he considers coaches, would-be coaches, handlers, spong- CTS and exhorters "s great hand. cap"
 In the same vein, he carefr avoids giving advice on how to Il 3 marathon, explaining only h. {. he prepares for and runs his own races.
 One of the most entertaining por- tions of the book is his description of The evolution of g conscientious amateur"
 At 2S." Deinar writes, '.he refuses money: at 38 he accepts and ,ises for boys organizations: at 4S he ac- cepts and uses for his family with the mental excuse that the game owes 1t to him: at 70 may accept and use the money to keep myseIS out of the poor house, but we shan see." ''
 Demar delights In telling and re- telling how he has completely baf- ned medical and lay experts who warned him as far back as le00 that his heart would not be able to stsnd the strain of long distance running.
 Surprise
 Tn less than two years.D he writes, T heard that the old doctor had died of heart failure hniself so I've often wondered if he wasn,t listening to his own heart by Inis. take"
 explaining it As "a most unusual coincidence,' 'Detnar reveals that 4, l0 starts from 1910 through ie2e dreams have 1oretold six victorses feats."
 While he admits he has baan a slipping since 1927, he adds satiric- since was 90 and definitAIy slipping have won seven fuii ns,. atnors; got second six times: and tnira Tour times; . total of "a tlrnes within the first three places Y,n, wondering ]. what I can do after m \,

Why Worry

HOW many people we all know who spend their lives
in worrying about things that never happen Wor-
rying is the most fritless Of all human occupations
Worrying about something which has already occur
red cures nothing Worrying about something which
has not yet happened will not avert it, and nine times
out Of ten the things We are worrying about never
come off
Worrying has it's roots in fear Really courageous
people do not give way to worry. Most worrying is
due to~too lively an imagination Those who indulge
in worrying usually softheared, sentimental folk
who do not have reistic outlook on life.
Most worries have an overly strong sense of per-
sonal responsibility for other people, Their high
of duty leads them to fear that they have in some way
been remiss in their obligations to others.
Most chronic worries concerned about their per-
sonal health Many have worried themselves into pre-
mature graves Whatever is wrong with the bodily
machinery is made worse by worrying about it.
There very few things which can happen to any
one that are worth worrying about. To advise people
to stop worrying is not to advise them to take pre-
cautions against the future Careful foresghted peo-
pie are seldom workers. They face the present with
stout heart and the future with the calm assurance
that all the world expects of anyone is to do the best
he can. And they let the dead past bury it's dead.
Nogales international., 1937-10-23
We May Yet Go To War

THE possibility that this country may be drawn in
to the war in the Far East is not remote as it
seemed to most people few weeks ago. To American
eyes, the ruthless invasion of China by the Japanese,
the wanon destruction of the heart Of Chnas largest
city, Shanghai by bombs dropped from the skies and
the caous disregard for the lives of non-combatant
civilians to carry evidence that Japan intends
to let considerations of mercy of international
law stand in her way. That the horror of Shanghai
occurred in the International Settlement, region in
which foreigners Of all nations supposed to be
SAFE make the matter so much the worse.
This country has a considerable naval force inChi-
nese waters and detachment of United States SOL
ders, besides the Marine Guard at our legation in
Peiping. Several Americans have already been killed
or wounded, including enlisted man of the navy,
killed by shell while on board one Of our naval
craft Doubtless this killing Of Americans was unin-
territorial and accidental; but if Japan should carry
its threat to stop sink foreign ships attempting to
land cargoes in China, the situation might easily be-
come serious.
Nobody in America wants this country to go to war
again But it is easy to imagine "incident" which
would fire the whole nations indignation and make
inevitable
