Knobby Knees
 Gets Gehrig Girl And Cowboy Cast
By FREDERICK c. OTHMAN United Press Hollywood
 CnrreSnOndent)

Hollywood, Jan. 4(UP)-Lou Gehrig, the baseball hero whose knotty knees nearly spoiled his ar tistic career, foiled these gnarled members of his anatomy today by taking a movie acting job in which he will wear pants.
 Gehrig first was hired to drape himself in a leopard skin and pound his chest before the camers as Tar gan of the Apes. The completed strip of film revealed that the leopard doesn't grow which can pro- vide a hide big enough to conceal his knees.
 Lesser No Guesser
 One look at those points on the projection room screen was enough for President Sol Lesser of Princi- pal Productions. What he said about his stars legs never was repeated. Quickly he hired somebody else to be his Tarzan. Then he put his mind to salvaging something from the knees he'd rented, but couldn't use, except maybe for comedy relief. His staff of scenarists came up with a script which keeps Gehrig's knees under wraps for seven reels. Lesser sighed in relief.
 This new and more modest opus is entitled "Rawhide". In it Gehrig will be rootin', tootin', shootin' cowboy, who cleans all the varmints out of Pleasant Valley and wins the girl. He does this all by himself, except for his two truSty six shoot CTS, and his horse, Silver.
 There are couple of major diffl- cultieS yet to be surmounted, Gehrig said. He listed them in the order of their importance:
 l. He isn't much good at horse riding.
 2. Neither is he so hot at gun shooting.
 His minor troubles are so numer- ouS he didn't count them. They in- clude the fact that all movie cow boys these days have to croon. Geh- rig said he didn't even know how to yodel.
 An! The Gal!
 Then there is the matter of mak- ing love to the girl. She'll be a blonde and beauty, and Gehrig is little worried about that. He loves his wife and she loves him and all that, but how's an actor going to put his heart into his kisses, when the little woman is there on the sound stage. watching him?
 Maybe, l won't have to kiss her" Gehrig suggested hopefully.
 "Oh, yes you will," Lesser,s man insisted. You can start practicing on her as soon as we get her cast"
 Maybe you won't be able to find girl" Gehrig added. Maybe it would be a good idea to have an all- man show, like in baseball"
 Got to have a girl" the man said. You got to kiss her."

Los Angeles, Jan. 4-CUP)-My friend, my rival, and one of the fin- est fellows who ever sat down to a typewriter, is dead in Spain.
 I can't write about sports today because I can't think about sports. All can think about is Eddie Neil. Eddie and I covered sports together for eight years. We tried to scoop each other, but we played together. We worked for rival news services, he for the Associated Press and l for the United Press.
 First Aid
 Eddie was well known sports writer when I first came to New York. Yet he always seemed to have time to lend me, an unknown, a helping hand. I only wish I could have lent him a helping hand on that muddy road in Spain, when a shell made a direct hit on the car in which he was riding near the front.
 The memories of Eddie comes thick and fast.
 The time we went bass fishing in New Hampshire and it took the two of us three hours to row a mile because we had forgotten to pull up the anchor. And Eddie's remark when we discovered our error:
 And to think, Henry, that you and not so long ago were criticizing a crew that lost at Poughkeepsie."
 Those nights Eddie and sat be- fore a tyewriter, first at his house and then at mine, trying to write a play that would make us fortune. It was to be boxing play because boxing was Eddie's first love, and no one ever wrote of the game as he did. But we never got past the first few lines on this play, because we always managed to start talking of something that interested us more than fortune-at the moment.
 "Powerhouse"
 It seems only yesterday that he called me up and told me that Helen had had boy.
 were going to call him Mike, '' his happy voice said, because he's tougher than anything you ever saw in the Garden"
 Later Eddie called the baby "Powerhouse." He decided on this name the day he put Scottie up on the bed with the baby and the tiny fellow broke the Scottie's leg in an effort to pat and love him.
 And it doesn't seem much more than yesterday that Eddie and sat in the timing tower at Daytone Beach waiting for Sir Malcolm Campbell to have try at the worlds record. We put up dollar apiece and guessed at his speed when he passed us.
 TWO fifty" Eddie said when Bluebird went by. Three hundred '' I guessed.
 They ought to fire both of us,' Eddie said later when we learned that Campbell had had mechanical

Sparks From The PozCer League
BY OMAR

Instead of handing out our usual happenings in the league, we are re- leasing the individual averages of all the bowlers. These averages in- clude all the games rolled up to and including those of December 18th.
 Holding down the top spot is Jim Guyette of the Construction team who has a comfortable margin over his nearest rival. Guyette also has tucked away so far this season the high individual single with 150 and the high individual three strings with 380. Howev.4, these scores have been higher in past years and as the season is young and scores ill general being better than former years, we look forward to having them topped.
