Immaculate Conception Rowing Bis

Damage estimated at about IA games lost Sunday afternoon in the Immaculate Conception Bowling League caused quiet an upset ill the leagues standing. The cause of those losses will be explained by the captains of the winning teams.
 Morton's Roughriders spared no mercy against the league leading Noisemakers, taking three games by 20 pins each game. The NoisemakerS were very, very quiet after the first game. The boys wer eleading by 13 pins in the first game, when Ted Muscio stepped up with 10 pins be- hind knocked off a strike with a strike filled to put the game on ice. Ted by the way had his day Sum- day rolling 109, 110 and 122 giving him 341. which is good pinning in any mans game. Keep up the good work, Ted.
 Newman's Neversweats meet their equals or should I say their supe- riors when they dropped 3 games to Brennan's Ramblers. O'Keefe helped the Ramblers into a tie for second place rolling BOP having his banner day since the league started. Brennan the captain also had his day (it's about time) since the start of the league knocking over 342 pins taking high three for the day. Brennan believes his Ramblers will slide into rst place Sunday now that he has his curve working. Francis Holihan's HustlerS coast ed into a tie for first place with the NoiSemakers after winning games from Hallihan's Smilers. Quinlan's 142 which by the way was high sim gle for the day, sewed up the first game. H. Shannahan and Walsh picked up few pins on their men to take the second game by IA pins. F. Holihan's 112 and Buffers 106 handed the Smilers their third de- feat for the day.
 Mash's Independents cam c through with a 3 game win over Healey's Spotters. This man has certainly put some life into the team since he joined the Independ- ents three weeks ago. Since that time the boys have won out of the last g games. Previous to that the boys dropped 8 of the first g games played. ScannelPs 122 in the second game gave the Independents high game for the day. May rolled 312 for the day. The Independents also took high tear chopping down 1903 pins
 Kenny's Whirlwinds won two out of three from Rush's Silencers. Jim Kenny also had his best day Sun- day, hitting 302 for his first three hundred game in the league. Jim can hit them when he wants to and proved it to the boys in the last game when he knocked off a strike with spare for filler. Jim's l1a with the help of Jack Kenney's 117 won the third game by 24 pins Rush's 121 helped the Silencers to take the second game. May luck be with you next Sunday, boys.

Must Books Be Read 2

The collector of books need not
fear the challenge, that is sure to
be made, sooner or later, by his
skeptical acquaintances: Have
you read them all?" The first
idea he ought to get out of his
head is that he must only buy
books for immediate reading.
"The charm of a library" said
that devout book lover, the late
Arnold Bennett, "is seriously inn
paired when one has read the
whole or nearly the whole of its
contents"
Bennett confessed that he had
hundreds of books he had never
opened, and which, perhaps, he
never would, open. But he would
not part with them. He knew
they were good, and as he gazed
on them, he said to them, HSome
day, if chance favors, your turn
will come. Be PATIENT" rAr

a neighboring dime store. Then as
he began to grow and trudged
around behind the famous Bobby,
Yates gained his. first idea of the
golf fundamentals that have brought
him to the top.
Unlike Jones, Charley was unable
to devote the major part Of his time
to golf, for although his father is a
well-to-do merchant he did not have
the same opportunities as Jones.
After graduating from high school,
Charley attended Georgia Tech, TAX
ing a course in general science and
finishing with honors.
When Jones retired from cOmpeti-
tive play, Yates had achieved suf-
ficient skill as a golfer to be men,
toned among the young fellows
most likely to fall heir to Bobby's
fame. A year after Jones' retire
ment, Yates fulfilled some of the
predictions by winning the state
title, repeating this feat in 1882.
Since that time, he has been
steadily justifying his early prom
Use. He won the national intercol-
legiate championship in 1884. Prior
to that he had finished first among
the amateurs participating in the
Masters tourney at August, dis
tinction he won again in 1887.
BY 1885, Yates had advanced to
the Importance of Western amateur
champion and in 1886 he was select
ed for the Walker Cup team that
licked the British at Pine Valley.
His main triumph in 1887 came
when he was medalist in the West
ern amateur at Los Angeles, tying
the record. Following that event,
he and Dick Darlington won the
southern four-ball championship.
British golfing authorities were
agreed that Yates won over the field
at st. Andrews because he was a
better strikes Of the ball than any
Of his opponents, and like his hero,
Jones, he is a quick player, wasting
no time with spirit levels on the
green's He has the happy faculty
Of tackling a difficult shot swiftly
and doesn't let bad shot bother him.

With television soon to become
serious rival to the movies, and
giant airplanes and ''press-the-
button" warships things which
raise little comment from the av-
erage man, it is surprising that
there are many secrets known. to
the ancients which have survived
the attacks of modern science,
says a writer in London Answers.
The Greeks could not weave lin
en- or wool on anything like the
scale we weave them today. But
they wove them into the pilema,
form of cuirass which could not
be penetrated by the sharpest dart
or arrow. The secret has been
lost-perhaps forever.
The Romans sank wells for wa
ter to great depths. Exactly how
they did the boring is unknown.
The beautiful purple dye, known
of old, has eluded the dye-makers
of today. And modern builders
can make nothing of the strong
and durable cement used by the
Greeks and the Romans in their
walls. This cement was stronger
and harder than the stone itself.

cause of lack of pitching talent, but
because of an oversupply.
It is difficult to see how he can
leave such mound artists as Bob
Teller and Johnny Allen of Cleve-
land off the staff, and it's even hard
er to see how he can help picking
Lefty Grove of the Boston Red Sox
and Vernon Kennedy of the Detroit
Tigers.
Both these latter pitchers have
taken new lease on life. Grove,
who overcame a pitching injury that
threatened his career a few years
ago, has been a sensation SO far
this year. Kennedy, who came to
the Tigers from the White Sox, has
never looked better. Grove says he
is q far more skillful workman than
he used to be. In his youth he was
another Teller, relying ON speed
alone. Now he is sly and foxy, q
master of the art. Kennedy has un-
doubtedly been improved by Man
ager Mickey Cochrane, who has
made him concentrate on his over
hand delivery.

as a pinch hitter, back in 1925, ne
hasn't missed a game in which the
Yankees have been involved. The
closest any player in history has
come to his record was the 1907
consecutive game mark set by Ev-
erett Scott between 1916 and 1870.
Gehrig had SCOTS record beat back
in 1888.
In addition to his consecutive
game record, Gehrig has broken
seven major-league records and tied
one other. Among his records are
these: Most consecutive years. 100
or, more games-12; most consecu-
tive years, $50 games or more-ll;
most home runs with the bases load
edo; most years, $50 or more
runs batted in-7; most years, 300 or
more total bases-12; and most
years, 100 or more runs driven in
IL. The record he tied was Babe
Ruth's mark of having scored 100
or more runs IL seasons in success
sion.
Gehrig has seen great teams
come and go since he Joined the
Yanks in 1925. Only three men be-
sides himself survive the original
team he joined IL years ago. They
are Business Manager Ed Barrow,
Earl Combs, now a coach, and Col.
Jacob Rupert, the club owner.
This spring has been Gehrig's
most disagreeable in baseball. He
reported in rather stale physical
shape after his movie venture and
it has taken him longer than usual
to hit his stride. His batting was
rather pitiful in the beginning, but
he has been betting the ball again
lately.

Spending Of Sports
Yates Got Golf
Start Trailing
Bobby Jones
By GEORGE A. BARCLAY

THE worlds golfing capital
i moved back to Atlanta, Ca,
when young Charley Yates, twenty
four-year-old bank teller Of Bobby
Jones' home town, won the British
Amateur Golf championship at st.
Andrews, Scotland, by beating Cecil
Ewing, giant Irishman, and became
the sixth American golfer in the
history of the tournament to reach
the title match.
This casual young fellow, sole sur
vivor of eight American lads who
comprised the Walker cup team,
has publicly attributed his success
to a suit of red f1annels sent him
by Bobby Jones and an antique putt
er purchased for a dollar from an
Atlanta caddy. But those who
watched him battle his way to vic
tory through some Of the classiest
golfing talent in the universe, say
that he is champion in every sense
of the word.
Nine times, during the week OF
the matches, he set out from the
first tee and nine times he returned
from the finishing green without los
ing match. The silver champion
ship cup given into his keeping IN
the name of the Royal and Ancient
Order of st. Andrews thus goes back
with him to Atlanta, where Bobby
Jones first took it eight years ago.
On the last three visits of an
American Walker Cup team men,
Der of it has won the British title.
Thus Charley Yates name goes on
the cup below those of Jess Sweet
ser, who won it in 1926, Bobby Jones
who won it in 1880 and Lawson Little
who won it in 1884 and '35.

Best THOUGHTS

Try to care about something in
this vast world besides the gratifi-
