MANAGERS OF DUKES-KIESELS
 POINTING FOR BIG GAME
By Robert b. PaImer. Jr.

Managers of the favorite teams in the league have two sets of fingers crossed. The loop has been void of any startling upsets thus far and indications are that the Dukes and Kiesels will meet three weeks hence with unblemished records for the first round championship.
 The Kiesels with Kellys Five and the Autoyre Company still on their list are more subject to an upset than the Pierce-coached combine who face the haplesS Colonials and a mediocre Chestnut Hill i've. The Brothers have been wee bit lucky to get by in two of their four en- counters and many fans think that Kelly's club can whip them. The latter team is the only quintet that pressed the Dukes and in that con- test they were always about five points in the rear.
 Why the pilots of these two clubs have their digits x-ways is simple. With no SO much as a single Sur- prise package evident in the first four weeks of play; the law of aver ages are with the clubs in the lower bracket, and we feel when that much awaited explosion does come of 1t will shake the very founda- tions of the league. As you can see both the Dukes and Kiesels would like to be miles away on such a night, as their little neighborhood tea party would be somewhat sppn- ed.
 Supposing these two clubs. (just supposing) do remain undefeated till their scheduled battle early in Januaryl The writer can readily guarantee, that one of the largest crowds to pass through the portals of Watertown highs Wigwam, will do so on that marked evening.
 Recent standings published in the papers have credited Kelly's club with but one loss, while actually the team has been beaten on two occa- sions. And may we add that whils the Dukes and Kie$els are isolated at the top of the round standing, keep your good eye on the Green clad warriors in. the second cycle.
 Two exceptionally attractive con- tests are on tap for the court lovers Tuesday evening with the most im- portant go set for 7:30 o'clock when the Kiesels square of against the Kelly Five. Manager Calabrese of the latter club told the writer he has his forces primed for the big encounter and fully expects his club to win.
 In the nightcap the Dukes and Chestnut Hiils who used to be the top rivals around these parts will clash in what should be an easy victory for the former club. How ever, in Tom Starry the Hills have perhaps the best sharpshooter in the league and three other good men in Joe Podinbinski, Gene Vaughn and L.ennie Havana. per-

Handball On VIM. C. A.
 Roof During Winter
By Art Krerlz

Due to the efforts of Matt Hollo- way, chairman of tke handbal com- mittee and Bill Curtis, chairman of the physical department council, a request was made to the executive committee of the YMCA to have a heater installed on the roof court, thus making 1t uSable during the winter months.
 At the request of John Goss, chairman of the executive commit tee, questionnaire was sent out to members to see If there was 8 real need for this improvement. The results of the quastionnaire were such that the executive committee ordered the installation of the heater. This has been done along with several other improvements, The floor was sanded and a special finish applied. The walls were paint ed and the lighting improved.
 This improved court was used for the first time last Thursday night when the Waterbury handball team met the New Britain players here, Charlie Velte one of the most en- thusiastic players in Waterbury, was on of the ones who played on the court. He said: Tt was great. I did not think the heater could make such a difference. With the court as it is now, it is a pleasure to play there"
 With two handball courts in first class condition, Matt Holloway feels that there should be increased in- terest in the sport at the Central ' this year.

|Lombardi Hit
 .342 For Title; McC Ornick Stars

New York, Dec. 19 = (UP.) = Ernie Lombardi, the Cincinati Red catcher with the big nose and slow feet, today was awarded the Nation al League batting crown for 1888. Release of final official averages confirmed what everyone had known since the baseball season closed.
 Lombardi slugged at a .342 clip, within one point of the best figure he ever attained. Of the first ten hitters in 1897, only Lombardi irn- proved.
 Joe Medwick, St. Louis Cardinals, who led the league in 1887 with ,374, dropped 52 points and wound up fourth. Johnny Mize, Cardinals. pulled up second with .337 after a fast finish but was still 27 points below last year. Paul Waner of the Pirates slipped from .353 to .280 from fourth to 29th. Pinkey Whit ney slumped 65 points to .241 and toboganned from fifth to 33rd.
 Lombardi was eighth in 1897 with .334, he is the second catcher in National League history to win the batting title. Bubbles Hargrave, an- other Cincinnati receiver, won m 1926.
 StandOut
 The greatest rookie feat of the year was accomplished by Frank Mccormick, Cincinnati first base man, who finished third with an average of .326. He registered 20s hits, the only mark above 200. The general decline in batting was shown by the fact that only IS play CTS hit 300 or better this season while g did in 1887.
 Individual leaders follow:
 Hits Frank Mccormick, Reds .2O9.
 Doubles-Joe Medwick, Cardinals, 47.

|SHEEKETSKI NEW CRUSADER BOSS FOR THREE YEARS
Players Voted for Back field Mentor to Succeed
 Anderson

Worcester, Mass, Dec. 19-(UP) Joseph Sheeketski, backfie1d coach at Holy Cross for six years, today held a three-year contract at an undisclosed salary as head coach of the Jesuit college.
 Appointment of the 29-year-old former Notre Dame halfback, an- nounced from his Detroit home last night by Athletic Director Thomas J. McCabe, ended rumors that Holy Cross was to lose his services.
 Sheeketski, who served under Dr. Eddie Anderson since his gradua- ton in 1883 from Notre Dame, was expected to follow Anderson to the University of Iowa. Anderson re- signed at the end of this season to take the Iowa post, replacing Irl Tubbs.
 Popular
 A recent poll among Holy Cross lettermen, however, changed the picture. The men had been asked to select their favorite among a group of candidates for the post and Joe's name topped the list by a wide margin.
 This poll and McCabe;s sudden departure for Detroit were not made public until Sheeketski signed his name to the contract last night Other than to say Joe would have a free hand over selection of assist ants, McCabe would make no com- ment on the contract and the sa- lary was undiscloSed.
 Good Selection 7
 A native of Mt. Carmel, Pa., Shee- ketski only recently made his home in Detroit. While at Notre Dame he played under both the late Knute Rockne and Hartley (Hunk) Anderson.
 we feel that Joe Is the idea, man to carry on," said McCabe. HI is familiar with the Notre Dame system. Not only is he familia, with the men at Holy Cross, but he also has their confidence"
 Admitting that Holy Cross faces tough schedule next season, Shee- ketski asserted:
 we have good material and the spirit of the squad is excellent, SC we should have little trouble in coming through winners"
 The selection of Joe was par. ticularly pleasing to his forme, boss. Anderson wished Joe "the best of luck" and added that ht would do "A fine job" Sheeketski played right halfback for three seasons at Notre Dame under Knute Rockne and Hunk An derson. His only coaching experi- ence has been at Holy Cross where he assisted Anderson in compiling record of AZ wins, seven losses and four ties in six seasons.

S5O,OOO
 RACES IN SOUTH MAY DRAW STAR
Has Big Chance to Surpass Sun Beau's Money Mark;
 Weight Problem Exists
By H.J. ARoNsTAM

/; United Press Staff COrrespondent) Miami, Dec. 19-CUP)--A shot at two $50,0OO purses is the bait being used to lure Seabiscuit, handicap champion of 1888, to Florida this winter. Victory in either would make 'The Biscuit" the greatest money winner the turf has known. The idea is to give Seabiscuit two chances to boost his earning mark above Sun Beau's alltime record Of $375, ,480 and prevent owner Charles s. Howard from shipping him to California for the $lO0,000 Santa Anita handicap on March 4. Sea- biscuit already has made $340, ,480, and needs only $35, 900 more to equal the record.
 Plans are underway, 1t was learned, to stage either a rematch between Seabiscuit and War Admiral or an invitationa1 race for the coun- try's six leading thoroughbreds two| weeks before the $50,0o0 Widener| challenge cup on March 1.-the other| half of the proposed program.
 Great Field
 l If the invitational race goeSI through, other horses to run in addi- tion to Seabiscuit and War Admiral.I would be: Lawrin, Kentucky DerbyI winner; Dauber, PreakneSs winner; ;| Pasteurized, winner of the Belmont stakes, and Stagehand, which took both the Santa Anita Derby and the' handicap early this year. sr
 It was considered better than even| that Howard would ship Seabiscuit' to iHaleah park for two rich races instead of gambling everything on| the one, big California race. Giving strength to these reports was the fact that the bay son of Hard Tack and Swing On, now in light training| at Columbia, S. C., was assigned top weight of 134 pounds last week for| the Santa Anita race. That is one| pound more than Seabiscuit eve1| carried. H5
 Although Howard has said he| would not decide where his horse will be shipped until weights for thel Widener are announced Jan. 1, he has refused in the past to let Sea-! biscuit carry more than l33 pounoSI Too Much Weight
 This year, in the Santa Anita handicap, Seabiscuit carried top weight of 133 pounds and was licked by Stagehand which lugged only 100I And the year before. Seabiscui1 again was second. to Rosemont.
 Seabiscuit handed War Admiral al sound beating recently in theirI match race at Pimlico, but there ard many turf followers who feel another| meeting would bring different re- suits. If War Admiral should win such a proposed second match-raceI the two great horses would have the| Widener for a rubber neetnig."
 Should the invitational race b<| held instead, the winner easii1 would be entitled to the American cham pionship because all proposed six entrants hold among them the ma jor titles of 1888. All six, incident ally, have been nominated for the| Widener.

Catholic Youth Organization
RY WILLIAM DONAHUE

It is probably too well known to need repetition here that the Catn. olic Youth Organization Basketball League has a fine collection of teams playing under its banner Each team has had its talent on display for the last three weeks. Winning or losing they all showed a superior brand of ball.
 St. Joseph's are still leading the league with three wins. These boys show class in every sense of the word.
 St. Stanislaus broke into the win column at the expense of St. Mary Magdalen. Winning by a decided score, they showed that they are to be contented with.
 Immaculate Conception remains in the running by suppressing the Blessed Sacrament. It looks like the Abrigator boys intend to keep their team on top.
 Mount Carmel is still matching the strides of the other teams by defeating Our Lady of Lourdes They should be known as the giant killers.
 SS. Peter and Paul still remain on top by virtue of an overtime vic- tory against St. Margaret's.
 Not to be over shadowed by the senior circuit the juniors have been going at 1t tooth and nail. Also. There have been some very fine games played by the boys, who play the prelimenary to the senior con- test.
 St. Stanislaus, who have three wins, seem to have had pretty much their own way in winning these games.
 St. Thomas's follow close behind with two wins. One of these by a ~de margin.
 St. Patrick,s broke even last week taking one and dropping another. Immaculate Conception, playing the most games to date dropped one by one point and another by two.
