 Last week, before the Pals Wolves championship clash, Bub Gun shanan, hero of the game, was quoted as saying that he would win the game. No one needed this state ment but when MT. GunShanan coolly sank corner shot to sew up the game, John Carriero quick ly brought to light MT. Gunshanan's prediction. "Bub" is not a publicity seeker but he deserves his share.

Protest Folloms "E4ill" Player Discrimination
Baldwin Props Charge Only 4 or 15 Directors
 Present In "HuddZe '

a meeting of the directors, probab- ly tonight, although President Frank McGrath had made no an- nouncements of meeting until this morning.
 Basis Of Protest
 The Props claim in their protest that the board of directors had no right to overrule the decision of Referee John Mccormack, who ban ished the three players from the game during the early moments.
 They also claim that there was no quorum at the meeting of the board of directors when it was de- cided to overrule the referees deci- sion. The Props also take issue with the starting of the game be- fore scheduled time. Action by the board may have direct effect on the second play-off game of the sec ond round which is scheduled for Friday night, with the Community club and Welles as opponents. Re- play of the Prep game may be or dered.
 Board Of 15
 The complete board of directors of the league consists of President Frank McGrath, Vice president Thomas Walsh, Secretary Joseph Mulcunry, Treasurer William Kelly and William Clasby, Thomas Con- way, John Dalton, William Gaugh- an, Michael Mccormack, Lawrence Mullen, Matthew Phelan, Ralph Ruggles, Ambrose Scully, Frank Sturges and Martin Tehan.
 It is the contention of the Props that only four of these fifteen members were present at the emer- gency meeting

NORTH END Y CHATTER
BY JIM JANNETTY

At the beginning of the overtime session of the Pal-WolvcS tusSle last week Danny Sporza, Cadet main stay stated that he would like to see the Wolves score a foul and with second to play, the Pale a double decker. Danny's wish evidently came true as Valeshi made good a free throw for the Wolves and with three seconds to play Bub Gun shanan, on side tap play, sank a tWo-pointer.
 The "" Varsity will end a suc- cesSful season Friday night when the St. Anns All-StarS are expected to be their guests on the "Y" court at 9 o'clock. The Varsity has been winning consistently under the coaching reinS of Fred Jacovino and are expected to close this season with a victory. The Wolves will stack up against a strong opponent in the D. m. preliminary.
 Something unusual in Junior sporting circles will take place at the North End "Y" this week, when the "" Crusaders will hold a ban quet to close a successful season will present the players with well earned letters. Those to receive the letters will be: Manager Sal BoSco, Carmine Bruscino, Bob DeLeon, Capt. Pete Santopietro, Joe Russo, Joe Mendillo, John Valletta, Dick Claffey, Arnold Morrelli, Frank Iario, and Louis Rinaldi. These boys are considered excellent mate rial for the "" senior league in years to come.
 At the recent elections of the North End "" Juniors, John Jan netty was elected president, Bobby RuSSett was chosen secretary, and HoWie Dalton, treasurer Irving Benson, star Pal basketeer, is leader of the club, and John Carriero, an- other Pal player, is in charge of the oIllSI lOl OilC 1Cou oL OAlC current season.

This de- feat was costly to the Hearts as it dropped them into first place tie with the North End "" Juniors, both squads having won 6 and lost 2. The playoff will be Friday night at ' o'clock. The probable lineups: Juniors-forwards, Dalton and Mc- Gee; center, John Jannetty. guards Spina Hnd Kuchary.

MILFORD HAS
TWO BIG FIRES
Simultaneous BlaZes Destroy
Downing Factory and Barn
on LOvett Farm
ESTIMATED LOSS S31, 900

Two fires Of unknown origin oc-
curing simultaneously early Sun
day destroyed the N. B. Downing
Compiny wood work plant, with
loss estimated at $4,000, and the
barn on the Lester Lovett nursery
property outside Of Milford. Four
mules, a COW, 25 tons Of hay, and
farm equipment were consumed in
the barn blaze with damage placed
at $4,000. Both fires gained con-
siderable headway before being dis
covered. High winds hampered
firemen, sparks being carried some
distance and for time threatening
nearby buildings. The wood work
factory, of frame construction, was
mass of flames when firemen ar
rived. The Carlisle company had
just completed laying hose lines
when word was received of the
rural blaze. Houston and Glendale
firemen were sent to the Lovett
property. A large shed filled with
lumber was saved on the Downing
property. Office records and files
also were recovered. About ten
persons were employed at the fac
tory. A large wood order for the
Milford armory was completed and
delivered last week. Flames far
ed again among the ruins later but
they were quickly extinguished.
Mr.. Downing's sons, Clarence and
Fulton Downing, were associated
with him in business. Mrs. John
Allen, wife of the nursery superin-
tendent, said she was watching the
Milford fire from her window when
she noticed the barn in the rear of
the property was ablaze. Firemen,
however, wre unable to check the
flames. Forty-one years ago a
barn on the property, then known
as the Wynkop farm, was Destroy
ed by fire. Both fires attracted
hundreds of spectators.

GROWING FOR
TURKEY SALES
Breeding Stock Should Be Sc
lected in the Fall For
Best Results
HOW TO SELECT THEM

Before marketing any Of the
spring turkey flock for Thanksgiv-
ing, most commercial breeders and
owners of farm flocks find that it
pays to select breeding stock for
the next year, says H. L. Richard
son, extension poultryman of the
Delaware College of Agriculture.
Most poultrymen find it cheaper to
select new breeding stock each fall.
The following spring, after the egg
laying season, the breeding birds
are sold to avoid carrying them to
the next breeding season. Richard
son says that turkey raisers can
choose their breeders by following
a selection chart prepared by Stan
ley J. Marsden, turkey specialist
OF the U. S. Department of Agri-
culture. He gives the following
pointers for selecting only choice
young hens for laying stock:
Choose birds with broad, we'll
fleshed breasts, and well-feshed
legs. There should be good bread
In Of bac kand body. The breast
bone should be parallel, or nearly
50, to the back. The neck and legs
should be reasonably short. There
should be good length of keel, and
good depth Of the body. Health
dnd vigor, Of course are important.
Inc flock owner may choose the
weight Of bird that he likes best,
ds some strains of turkeys are
neavy and some light. Early ma
turlty regardless of weight, is an
otner important point. Where
plrds are all the same age, and if
tne selection is made between the
ages Of "A and % weeks, it is not
aiincult to choose the quick-matur-
ing birds. Breed characteristics
saould be observed and only birds
u standard quality chosen. The
laying flock should be uniform in
oolof and free from pendulous
oIops' deformed legs, cross beaks,
crooked backs, split wings, and
olner deformities. These sugges-
slOns' Richardson points out, are
