'Hartnett benched everybody III Cile
Cubs lineup except Stanley Hack
during the first month of the sea-
son. The Cubs finally righted them
selves. Now Terry is picking the
Giants lineup out of a hat.
Zeke Bonura and Hank Dan
ming were benched yesterday and
the Giants scored a 90 triumph
over Pittsburgh, climbing TO sixth
place. Johnny Mccarthy took over
Bonura's job at first base and drove
in a run. Jimmy O'Dea replaced
banning behind the bat and han
died Hall Schumacher in fine fash
ion. Schmumacher went the route
for the first time this season, Civ
ing up only six hits.
All National league managers ex-
cept Bill McKechnie have shown
symptoms of the jitters this sea-
son.
The Reds kept up their blistering
pursuit of the Cardinals by de-
feating Brooklyn, 6-3, for their
seventh straight victory. Lee Girls
som, credited with his third vic
tory, had to have relief in the
ninth and was the first Cincinnati
hurler in a week who failed to go
the distance. Lonnie Frey hit a
homer for the Reds and Ernie
lombard kept up his hitting with
a single and double.
The Cardinals held the National
league lead with a 2-1 victory over
the Phillies, staving off a ninth
inning rally. MedWick's, double and
Mize's single accounted for the WIN
ming run.
Casey Stengel, who has been do
ing bit OF juggling with the Bees
lineup, finally found the winning
combination again as Boston lick
ed the Cubs. 5-3 Lou Fette, assisted
by the able relief pitching or Dick
Erickson, scored his sixth triumph
Bill Lee was the loser.
With Mel Mazzera and Harland
Cliff hitting homers, the st. Louis
Browns snapped the Athletics
four-game winning streak, 6-3
Vernon Kennedy won his first game
for the Browns, giving up nine hits
Rain saved the Yankees 11-game
winning streak. A doWnpour wash
ed out Cleveland's 81 lead in the
last of the fifth. Mel Harder had
outpitched Monte Pearson.

Sports Parade

NYACK, N. Y, May %. (UP)-
He is wakened each morning by
the Silvery tinkle of chimes and
the songs of birds outside his win
dow
Breakfast is served him in bed,
his bath drawn, and his clothes
laid out.
His mornings are spent cantering
through the woods, advising the
gardeners, inspecting the private
zoo of the estate, or browsing about
the warmly -paneled old library with
it's $1,000 volumes.
In the afternoon, after nap,
he has his choice of swimming in
the glass enclosed pool, cards in
the smoking room, or a drive about
the countryside in either a Daim-
Ter or a Minerva or Rolls-Royce.
Behind a chauffeur, of course.
After dinner, which is always
served in a mellow old room made
more SO by the soft glow of cam
delight and on treasured plate, he
has his choice of many and varied
entertainments.
If he feels gay charming
night club is only few steps away
and for his private use. If his
mood is less frivolous, concert
pianists and opera singers await
only his call to play and sing.
If he be tired and in need of
rest his bedroom is in order, the
Silken sheets a-gleam under the
reading light. A bowl of fruit, a
silver water carafe, and the latest
magazines and newspapers within
reach.
Now who is this young man, this
idler in the lap Of luxury?
A millionaire playboy?
No, not at all.
He is Lou Nova, a priZefighter
in training for a fight with Max
Baer in Yankee stadium on June
/. And his training camp is the
magnificent estate of DR.. Pierre
Bernard, the soft-spoken gentleman
who is known to the mystic Yoga
trade as Dom the Magnificent.
There never has been a training
camp like it. Built on the lines
of a feudal estate, its gates were
opened to Nova by DR.. Bernard, who
took liking to the young Cali
fornian and bid him use it as his
own.
Nova has been there more than
three weeks and is thriving. He is
stronger, heavier and hitting hard
er than ever 1t is not difficult
to imagine the revolution in box
ing a victory for Nova would bring
about. In the past training camps
have been rugged places at best
where culture was limited to the
artistic application of the hotfoot
and comfort was of the pioneer
sort.
But if Nova wins everything viii
be changed. Slug Donovan will
pitch his training quarters in the
right wing of the Metropolitan
Museum of Art and get his left In

per will sharpen his eyes by night

Aspiring young fighters will dc
their roadwork in Carnegie libraries
Throughout the country, and the
rules will be changed to allow a
man to wear his Phi Kappa Key
on his trunks. Vintage wines, not
beer, will be gulped by fighters be-
tween rounds, and fight experts
will work out the winners by equa-
tions
All of this, of course, if Nova
wins. If Baer belts him out
cauliflower culture will take to the
country, too.

Birth Records! State Department of Health Emphasizes
 Necessity of Pre-
 serving Records

The importance of possessing a birth certificate is shown in the fact that certified copy of the one filed at the time of birth is the most acceptable evidence for proof of age. according to the April bulletin of the State Department of Health based on informa tion obtained from the Department of State, Social Security Board, Railroad Retire ment Board, Civil Service Commits sion and the Veterans Administra- tion.
 Although a certified copy of the public record of birth is accepted by these federal agencies without further investigation, the bulletin states that certificate placed among the birth records at date long after the birth, and at time when there is specific purpose for doing so, has little value and fur ther information is required.
 Largely as a result of govern mental requirements, demands for proof of age have shown a marked increase during the past few years, according to the bulletin, dne to the filing of claims for pension and other benefits provided under so- cial security legislation. If certi- fled copy of the public re, ord of birth is not available, most Of these agencies accept certified copy of the church record of infant baptism as proof of age, especially if the record was created within short time after date of birth.
