Valley League Game on Tomorrow in ''ParlOr
 Town"

The St. Ann's A. A. baseball team will attempt to chalk up their sec ond Naugatuck Valley league victory Sunday afternoon, when they travel to Litchfleld. The Cowboys also won their first game, defeating Bristol 3-2 in 10 innings.
 The Frenchies have a fast ball club this year which should give lot of trouble to these teams who have been in this loop for the past few years. Paul Fournier, whose odd delivery has mystified batters for the past few seasons, is ex- pected to take the mound for the Saints, with LaPointe and Credo in reserve. Billy Mccormack has been shifted into the infield and Coach Langlois believes that he has at last an infield that is close to that much spoken of million dollar infield." Bruno Bournival, for two years the leading batsman in the Public Parks league, worked out with the Trenches this weekend and hopes to be able to play within few weeks. He injured his knee during the hockey season and has been bothered with 1t since the lat ter part of March.
 The Cowboys will have Lee Por- ter to chuck them into the Trenches and the Brass City array will have to be on their toes to get many real hits. Lee has speed coupled with control and fine hook and great duel of pitchers is expected. This is the opening game at the Cowboys home field, and a banner crowd is expected with many supporters from the south end making the trip with the team.
 Bristol Today
 This afternoon the Trenches will travel to Bristol to meet the Bristol Spartons. The game is slated for 2:3O o'clock and Manager LaFrance of the Saints wants all players ot be at the clubrooms with uniforms at o'clock. Those who will make the trip are Philibert, Descoteaux, Four nier, LaPointe. Longo, Festa, Credo, Mccormack, Bournival, B son, Turcotte, Langlois and LaFrance.

BY HENRY McLEMORE United Press Stan Correspondent)

New York, May 2l.-UP)-Pro- fessor Bill McCarney, recently re- turned from abroad, held one of his delightful salons in a back booth at Hymie Caplin's Sixth avenue pub yesterday, and charmed his listeners, both by tales from the continent and by picking up the check.
 Professor McCarney, who has been looking at fights and fighters since 1888. took Steve Dudas to Hamburg for that young mans fight with Max Schmeling. You have the word of the professor that Schmeling, who butchered Dudas for six rounds, is in the best shape of his life and will knock out Joe Louis, when they meet in June, in siX rounds or less. You might listen to the professor, because he knows Schmeling; was his co-manager, in fact, from 1928 to 1883.
 Interesting
 During the course of the after noon someone asked Professor Me Carney if he thought Schmcling Wodo Nftl blllC II IIt licked Louis in June. In answer, McCarney had these rather inter- esting and enlightening words to say:
 "Yes, but not for the reason you would think. He won't defend it for money, but because it will give him another shot at Max Baer, and Ea fha fnl1N,rt hn tf, to beat. I hadn't been in Germany long this time before learned that the one thing that keeps Schmeling from being hundred per cent hero is the fact that Baer knocked him out. Neither the officials nor the German fans have forgiven him for losing to Baer-a fellow they believe is Jewish. Of course, Baer isn't Jew iSh at all"
 This last remark was sharply questioned by one of the professor s listeners, who pointed out that much of the ballyhoo before the Schmel- ing-Baer fight was devoted to Baers Jewish blood.
 T know that" Professor Mc- Carney chuckled. "You see, was the one who thought that up. Tickets weren't selling any too well when Baer got into town, SO I sug- gested that we spruce it up a bit by concocting the German Jewish angle. Too, 1t is New York's great Jewish population that provides the bulk of the fight crowd. It worked mighty flne-so fine that Germany

TERRY SAD AS GIANTS CRACK; WASTE BIG LEAD
Lose } Straight, Score 2 Runs in } Games; Grove
 Is Unbeaten
BY GEORGE KIRKsEY

United Press Staff Correspondent)
 New York, May 21-(UP)-Bill Terry's head hangs low and his face is downcast as lie walks dejectedly from the third base coaching box to the New York Giants dugout. The Giants dream of dominating the National League seems to be fad ing, and Terry is very sad.
 Licked for the third straight time yesterday, the Giants who had scant weeks ago had record of 18 triumphs in 21 games, have cracked wide-open. They've lost four out of their last five games, and their big lead has been chopped to 3 1-2 games.
 But worse than that, Terry has seen only one Giant base-runner reach third in the last two games. One man got there yesterday as Cincinnati blanked New York, A.. The day before, against the Cubs, the Giants got only one man to sec ond. In the last 9 innings they haven't scored run, and in the last three games, 28 innings of play, they've made only IA hits and two runs, both homers. That's reaching rock-bottom.
 Nice Work
 John Wander Nicer, southpaw rookie, limited the Giants to five scattered hits to win his second straight. Ernie Lombardi drove in three of the Reds four runs with a homer and a single. The Reds have won II out of their last IT games, and share fourth place with the fading Pittsburgh Pirates.
 The Chicago Cubs s1ashed out 22 hits to beat the Phillies, 16-7, and move closer to the Giants. Billy Herman and Carl Reynolds collect ed three singles each. Tex Carle- ton received credit for his fourth win although Jack Russell had to finish the game for him.
 Brooklyn triumphed over Pitts burgh, 7-5. Van Mungo won his second game with a bit of relief help from Forest Pressnell. Ernie Roy and Babe Phelps hit homers for the Dodgers. It was the Pi- rates fourth straight loss.
 Leonard Loses
 The leading Cleveland Indians, of the American League, slugged Emil Leonard off the mound in the sec- ond inning and beat Washington, 6-3. Mel Armada and Johnny Stone hit homers off Johnny Allen, who scored his fourth triumph. Earl Averill hit homer for the Indians.
 The Boston Red Sox kept pace with the Indians by hammering out a 16-2 victory over the St. Louis Browns. Lefty Grove held the the Browns to eight hits to win his seventh straight game, first to &C., compliSh that feat. The Red Sox made g hits off five St. Louis pitchers.
 Rudy York's error on liner to left field and three eighth inning doubles by Rockies Siebert, Chap man and Lodigiani spoiled School boy Rowe's attempted comeback as the Athletics won from Detroit, 5-2. Until York dropped Ambler's liner Rowe had pitched masterfully, al- lowing only four hits and one run. Luther Thomas held the Tigers to three hits until relieved because of wildness in the eighth.
 The other two games were post poned because of rain.
 YESTERDAYS HERO Robert Moses Grove. 38-year old Red Sox southpaw, who limited the Browns to eight hits in hanging up his sev- enth straight victory.

still is demanding that Schmeling avenge himself on his non aryan' conqueror.'
 Asked why he was SO positive Schmeling would whip Louis, Pro- lessor McCarney said:
 Brains. The German has got it upstairs, and plenty He is twice as smart as any fighter I ever knew, and I have known 'em all since John Us time. If you think Tun- ney's smart, you oughta stay around all there is to know about fighting. Throw him in there with a fellow with great left jab and he'll figure out a way to lick him. Match him with murderous right-hand hitter and he'll dope out system to take care of that He even figured out way to beat Paulino back in the days when he was a kid and no one was licking Pauline. You know what he did? Just beat on Paulino's arms without stopping for six rounds By that time Pauline couldn't hold them up to make a shell for his head. And soon as his head came into view, Max let him have it. I never saw him fight two fights alike Hell murder Louis. "
 Likes Ross
 What did the professor think about Armstrong and Ross?
 Ross. In fifteen rounds, and after the devil of fight. Ross is too smart for him. Barney knows more about boxing than any light fellow since Leonard. And could Benny handle those tough, wild-sWingiug guys"
 The professor picked up the check and we went out into the crisp soot and bracing roar and rumble of Sixth avenue.

KEEP HEAD STILL, LEFT ARM TAUT
Another of the series on fine shots and points of the masters.
By ART KRENZ

NEA Service Golf Writer
 Taking for granted the golfer has assumed a comfortable stance and has a grip that is correct, it Is es- sential that during the back swing a still head position is maintained and the left arm is taut.
 By observing theese fundamen- tals," says Johnny Revolta, "a taut left arm and still head position, even the duffer can prevent the clubhead from dropping at the top of the back swing.
 Losing control of the clubhead results in lunging or throwing action.
 This fault can be eliminated through concentration on the left arm action and keeping the head in a still position"
 Keeping the left hand over the shaft helps to keep the left arm straight.
