The Tribes will have to watch Joe Gunha who ran wild against the Clubbers scoring 16 points in the first game he played this year. The Tribes figure with the addition of Joe Crean to their lineup that they will have little to worry about to- night and are pointing for the Hillies game next week.
 Mickey Bowen and his Robins are all set to hand the Doughboys their first setback of the season and will show Mike Higgiston, Joe RoSsi and several others in their lineup to- night.

(. P. BADMINTON
 TEAM WINS TILT

In their initial match of the sea- son the Chase Park Badminton team defeated the c. L. & P. Hart ford aggregation in a g to 1 vic- tory.

leaning so far backward in his mod esty that he resembled 8 croquet wicket, selected Tilden, Perry, Bill Johnston, La Coste, Budge, Borotra, Cochet, Nusslien, Kozeluh, Craw- ford. And Perry, with more than enough self-effacement to equip all the rural milkmaids in the world, nominated Tilden, Vines, Johnston, La CoSte, Cochet, Budge, Borotra, Nusslein, Crawford and Patterson.
 Now anyone with enough knowl- edge of tennis to differentiate be- tween volley and a haircut knows that Vines knows he is one of the 10 greatest players. And the same goes for Perry. Yet each omits him. self, which causes me to believe they are either daffy, insincere, or just a pair of shrinking violets seeking a messy stone.
 I believe the answer must be in- sincerity, else how could Vines place Perry second on his list, when Perry is a man he beats half the time? And what else could prompt Perry to name Vines second, when Ells- worth is a man he holds his own with?
 The one consolation in such be- havior by the Messrs. Vines and Perry is that they are holding fast to one of the sports silliest tradi- tions. Ask Babe Ruth to name an all-time baseball team and the fat one will reel you off a nine that does not have the name of Ruth in right field. I would hate to hang by my thumbs until Ruth, in his heart, was convinced that he didn't belong on any and all all-star base ball teams.
 Certainly there was nothing mod est about Ruth when he was hag- gling with Colonel Jacob Ruppert over the matter of salary. I don't ever remember his denying his true worth in those days. He shouted it from the housetops, and was always looking for 8 newer and higher housetop.
 But they all do it. Bobby Jones must have selected three gross of all-time golf teams in his day, and yet his name never was on one of them. Which, of course, is just as absurd as it would have been for Napoleon to leave himself off an all-star military team, or Mickey Mouse to modestly omit him name in an all-rodent list.
 I feel I can criticize the sports heroes for false modesty, because I never was guilty of the charge my self. When I was bean bag and squat tag champion I was never one to hide my light under a bushel. Every all-star bean bag or squat team ever named was headed by the name Henry McLemore. I even refused to place the name of About Ben Adhem ahead of mine, and as everyone knows About always liked to get his name first.

Sts. Peter and Paul Bowling League Facts And Figures

Ed O'Connor and his mates want to know if any team ever had a record breaking day other than on the day that they met his team.
 The photographer just missed Tommie Egan (High water Jeans) when he pulled that mark last week. It's a shame that such form could not be photographed and used as means of instruction to new bowlerS.
 Earl Bulger has sure proved to be man in the pinches and in the final two boxes this week made marks to pull the game out of the fire and also give his team the extra point for pinfall. By the way, if that Cody explained team comes in- to the championship again this year, a new set of captains will have to be made for next season.
 By the way-Ed. O'Connor had very sore shoulder last Sunday and put in his appearance, although he did not expect to bowl. However. he was finally persuaded to try and the result was that he had his best score of the season. It was worth having sore shoulder.
 Jimmie Slavin put the pressure on the German crew with 333 pin fall which was the principal factor in his teams four-point win, which also kept them right in the lead.
 Where did Captain Miller get the new man last week, who was SUD- posed to have about 95 or 98 aver age? He only managed to hit 346 which was one of the principal fac tors in Miller taking four points.
 Johnnie Mcclure had better stick to bowling, rather than passing the basket. All the boys were kind of nervous watching him at the 5:3O on New Years day.
 Only four men ran over to rub the lucky top of George Shove'S head last week, but they weren't so lucky, George keeping it all to him. self to take three points from Klobedanz.
 Miller and Bulger both hit 132 this week to split the honor of talk ing weekly high hisngle, which is the first time this season that there has been a tie.
 The bowling committee is now working to make arrangements for some matches with some of the other Holy Name society teams in the city.

STEELE UP TO
 1875 TO TAKE
 FRED APOSTOLI.
Frisco Boy Gets Big Chance in Overweight
 Bout Tonight
By LESLIE AVERY

United Press Staff Correspondent)
 New York, Jan. 2. (UP)-Fred Apostoli, San Francisco's battling bellhop, puts his title hopes on the line tonight when he clashes with middleweight Champion Freddy Steele of Tacoma in 12-round bout at Madison Square Garden.
 It is not title tiff, but if it were it would not be more important to Apostoli. It took nearly three years of relentless pursuit to land the Californian this over -the-weight match, and if he does not win 1t or fails to make an impressive showing, he may never get Steele to give him shot at the title. A vic- tory would virtually force Freddy to risk his crown this summer.
 Although it shapes up as one of the best t1ghts>in months, the ticket sale has been slow and no more than 10000 are expected to witness the "grudge match" so called be- cause of the feud between the rival managers. It is a "hot" fight that has grown "cold" because of post ponement from its original date of Nov. 12.It had to be called off when the titleholder was injured in train ing.
 Steele is 1895 favorite to repeat the 1885 victory in which he gashed Apostoli's cheek SO badly the referee stopped the fight in the 10th round. A difference between Steele's late manager, Dave Miller, and Larry White, Apostoli's manager, fore stalled return match until Fred stopped Marcel Thil last summer. The international boxing union had recognized Thil as champion of the division, and Apostoli forces Steel's new manager Dave's brother, Eddie Miller, to give him this indoor match.
 In age and phySicque there is lit tie to choose between the two men. Steele is 25; Apostoli "A. Steele w;;l weight about 158, and Apostoh will come in scaling as few ounces over 160 pounds to comply with his "over-the-weight' contract. Steele is favored because he is a fast, shifty and more polished boxer. He has a lethal right and left hook that will lift an opponent from the floor. The Tacoma boy is sharpshooter, but if he gets in a corner he doesn't mind milling furious with both hands until his opponent backs off. In 139 fights, the champion has registered 49 knockouts.
 Apostoli, a trif1e shorter and stockier, packs just as much dyna- mite as Steele, but he is lot easier to hit. However, that does not worry him or his manager, who has bragged to nearly every boxing writer in the country:
 "In that first fight, they say Opostoli, inexperienced as he was, was winning going away when Steele landed a lucky punch that started cheek cut in the seventh" 1"
 The San Franciscanis long on endurance, and those who like his chances, believe he can tame Steele If he'll keep punching" Apostoli has knocked out 13 of his 29 op- ponents, and lost one decision in addition to the technical kayo Steele handed him.

WRESTLING GETS
 GOING AGAIN AT B KIN 6 H A M
Steinke to Tangle With Marshall; Rae, POdubny
 in Time Limit GO

Fresh from Hartford where he fopped the huge George Clark of Scotland in two straight falls last night, Won Robert, the French Canadian wrestler with the movie profile makes his local mat debut in this city tonight, and, by the same token, has a part in the reSumation of wrestling for the remainder of the indoor season at Buckingham hall Roberts opponent tonight, Charley Strack of Oklahoma A. and M. col- lege where some of the finest col- lege wrestlers in the country are turned out, figures to give Robert the match of his life, for Strack, who is also a former Colgate foot ball star and Olympic nathan, knows his armlocks and full-nelsons and can cope with the best mat talent available.
 Looks Good
 Robert and Strack will go three falls if necessary, the winner to be declared on a best of basis. All in all, the match should prove fenuinely attractive as wrestling bout with little or no comedy as both men know their business and lose little time in attending to it, once within the ropes. Strack show ed in this city two years ago, and to give him his due, he can wrestle with the best when the chips are down.
 Another event that should prove more than ordinarily pleasant is the Hans Steinke and Jack Marshall affair, semi-final bout that bids fair to produce some rough and ready milling in which the giant German Steinke will have 8 large part. Hans is a movie actor in Hol- lywood too, having had several wrestlig parts within the past few years. He has been around the resined ring for quite a while.
 Rae vs. Russian
 Tommy Rae, the Springfield mus cle man, who made quite hit on local cards few months back, takes on John Podubny, the resilient Rus sian, who will provide some comedy of rib-tickling nature. John is a model for nightmares on the side, when it come to making funny faces for people to look at Jack Zarnas. when it comes to making funny faces who will appeal to the Greek mat fans, and Al Getz, who usually gets on top of his man as soon as pos sible, will open the show at 8:30 p. m. following the usual introduc- tiors by John Grantland Freney, the well-known spieler
