CAN'T BE RECLAIMED: Ralph
Martin, having read this columns

cold trails and find something that
tastes like it did in childhood, says
the search is in vain, because he
has tried it.

recently he pointed out to his
companion where he used to live

shop, to which his mother sent him
as child to buy meat, which Of

to delicate viands. Mr.. Martin
said since his tastes had grown
more mature he had endeavored
by all rules known to hot dog
cooking science to re-discover the
hot dog taste of his childhood, but
he mourns the loss of such taste
as something that has been out
grown, never to be recovered.

CRSBY, OFF FORM DROPS CLOSE GO
 TO HARDING FIVE
Locals Make 10 of 75 Shots in Sour Exhibi=
 ton; Reserves Lose,

Five more points toward partici- patton in the Yale Tournament were thrown to the wind last night when miserable foul-shooting and ragged offensive play cost Crosby High 28 to 25 setback at the hands of Warren Harding High of Bridge port in a Naugatuck Valley League tussle at Wilby gym before 400 spectators.
 Seventy-five shots were taken by the blue and white, but only 10 went through the cords while of the 2 complimentary awards offered them by Referee Shorty Malin of Hartford only five found their mark. The Presidents did little better on the offense, making 12 of 69 tries from the floor materialize.
 Standout
 "Midgie" Hoydic was the thorn in the side of the locals. The di- minutive but sharpshooting running guard netted 12 points, four of his field goals being clean long shots from a set position.
 'Pinky" Woods, alleged to have suffered a broken toe in the LeaV- enworth game last week, played three-quarters of the game for the Schofieldmen despite the injured digit. Captain Jimmy Day and Stretch" Brady were away off color and their numerous attempts from the floor always cost Crosby posses sion of the ball. Tiger" Lyons and Bobby Holmes were the only con- sistent scorers for the locals.

Connie Mack, 75,
 | Aims At One More
 World Championship

Philadelphia, Jan. 26-CUP)- Connie Mack shook half century from his shoulders last night and told the public that it would have to cut off his uniform to convince him---a 75-year-old that he was too old to run a baseball team.
 A tall, kindly old man, his face scanned with 54 years of baseball worries but his eyes still alight with enthusiasm, he told 1900 guests at a sports writers banquet that his next address would be Lake Charles, La, where the Philadelphia Ath- leticS train for the 1888 baseball season.
 Philadelphia sports writers award- ed medals to Carl Hubbell of the New York Giants, as the outStand- ing pitcher of 1887; Joe DiMaggio, 23-year-old slugging outfielder for the New York Yankees, as the out standing athlete, to Mickey Cochran as most courageous athlete in sports during 1937,"
 Cochran of the Detroit Tigers suffered near fatal injury last summer when he was struck on the head by pitched ball.
 There has been for years talk of my resting from the game" Mack said. This has been more evident this year because of my ill., ness and my age.
 They were saying its time the old boy got out and gave someone else a chance. But I assure you it has always been my desire to go on just as long as could in this game of baseball.
 "I love it. It's not bad game for a man of 75.
 T love to be on the bench with those youngsters and to get me out they'll have to cut off my uniform"
 Among the guests were members of the 1910 Athletics, termed by many the finest team in baseball history. They include Chief Bender, Eddi Murphy, Ira Thomas and Herb Pennock.
 Also present were at least one member of each of the five world championship teams Mack managed They--men who quit baseball be- cause they were too old or had out lived their usefulness---were the first to stand up and cheer when Mack announced his determination to stick with the game,
 Mack said he wanted to manage at least one more world champion.

 Crowther, who came here with Harlow in 1886, last season molded one of the most outstanding lines in Harvard history and perhaps the best in the east. He played for Col gate from 1921-23 while Harlow was coach there.
 He is the third of Harlow's assist ants to leave in three years.
 First Mike Palm left to coach the Brooklyn Dodgers professional foot ball team and year ago Jimmy Dunn relinquished his position here to become head coach at North eastern University.

TODANS SPORT e,PARADE h&ARAYNhnit5llzzDD
By HENRY McLEMORE

United Press Staff COrrespondent) Hollywood, Jan. 26-(UP)-War Admiral is noble steed. In fact, he is great horse and a sterling representative of the four-legged equine department. His breeding is the equal of anything that ever had oats for a second course, and he undoubtedly would be the first to offer fetlock to an aged lilly cross- ing the street.
 But he isn't the fastest horse in the United States.
 From furlong pole to furlong pole he can't pick up the weight and tote 1t along with
 Seabiscuit
 That's heresy in the east, and all along the Atlantic seaboard where the sable-coated little son of Man O War has brought his silks down Winging.
 But don't blame me as heretic Don't burn me at the stake.
 Because I'm only quoting Charley Howard, the quiet San Francisco business man who owns Seabiscuit.
 Charley Howard loves Seabiscuit Loved him ever since that day he saw him in Saratoga. in the stables Of the late Ogden Mills. Seabiscuit wasn't much to look at then. He still showed the effects of 35 races as a two-year-old. He was a dis card, in fact, and Howard picked him up for $7,500. Mills looked or Towards check as a gift.
 A year later, when Seabiscuit was the top stake horse in the country Howard went back to Mills seeking more horses.
 He didn't get to first base.
 Mills said Keep your check book in your pocket, Charley, because after what you've done with the Bis cult l wouldn't sell you a goat for four dollars. Even if the goat lack ed antlers and had a bad knee"
 Howard told me all these things sitting in his box on the finish line at Santa Anita. It was hard to talk to him, because he was besieged with persons seeking information. Bine Crosby came by. Randolph Scott came by. Pat O'Brien wanted something in the third. So did Vic- tor McLaglen. So did a hundred others.
 I've always wanted a shot at War Admiral" Howard told me. we were all ready to race at Pimlicc last November, when Al Vanderbilt guaranteed us a fine purse for a match race. But MT. Riddle didn't see fit to send his horse against us. Then I figured we would have to wait until the Santa Anito Han- olcap. l couldn't see how any man who thought he had the best horse In the country could refuse to rur, him for purse of $10O,0OO.
 But War Admiral isn't here. He IS going to run in Florida for half the money that is offered here That's his business. But I cant help but feel that if a horse is the greatest horse-and I have heard that War Admiral is-he should gc for the biggest money in the big geSt race"
 What MT. Howard tried to say is this: Nobody is soaring Seabiscuit rom the big races. AS a great horse ne wants to be where the action IS hottest. If he isn't good enough to Wn-well, MT. Howard wants tc take look at the baby who car lick him.
 Confidentially, he doesn't think there is anything on four legs that can take the Biscuit from seven fur longs to mile and quarter. Hell shoot his roll, too.

SPARKS FROM THE POWER LEAGUE

the Collectors got going and with everyone hitting the 300 mark or better breezed away with the next two games and pinfall. Frank Byrnes continued to be the shining light for Meter B.
 With Jim Kiely and Joe Colucci hitting as they should, Meter A was able to take two points from Har- old Keeler's Rubbertowners. This was nip and tuck affair with Jerry Callahan shining for Nauga- tuck. Shea teamed up with Jerry to take away the breaths of the Riley men and that precipitation on Jim's brow. folks, was just the first stages of heart failure and not because the air circulator was shut off.
 The luckless Welfarers could only grab one point from Walt Robison's $ Dispatchers and dropped little fur ther in the standing. With the league secretary having tough night trying to get his ball to do trick to his teams advantage but finding things otherwise, it wasn't difficult to see why Walt, Tippy Moriarty and maties took three points. Kindly offers of brooms, brushes, snow blows and what not, however, were refused. Bill Jones and Art Bray saved the legal boys retreat from turning into disaster. MT. Secretary on the advice of friends, neighbors, etc. starts next weeks matches as lead off man The sympathies of George Barnes are deeply appreciated.
 Yes it is true, the Operating have finally got going. This is a team with five captains but before the match it was decreed that Captain Pat Dwyer should continue as an- chorman. It was a wise selection as Sales B will attest for Pat pulled the second game out of the fire in the last box. Captain Winpy Beardslee couldn't get his leg Eng fish to work but Captain Ted By helped ease Pats load with some good scores. Captains George Lynch and Walt Nelson did their share. For the Salesmen's Junior Varsity Shuts did a good job.
 The sympathies of the members of the league are extended to MT. and Mrs. John J. Roberts in the loss of their children, Bobby and Vir- ginia.
