Boston Bruins
 Players Get $1,6O0 Split"

Boston, May g. (UP) - The Boston Bruin players share for winning the National Hockey League title and the Stanley cup champion ship series was estimated unoffi- cially at $50,00o today.
 Though General Manager Art Ross of the Bruins declined to dis cuss specific figures or percentages, reliable sources believed the mem bers of the team received between $1,200 and $l,600 xtra for their playoff victories over the New York Rangers and Toronto Maple Leafs.
 The sums varied. 1t was believed, because President Weston w. Adams added SIS 900 to the players play -off pool which was split according to the value of the players to the team"
 The players pool was approxi- mately $25.00o. The pool, shared by team members, trainers and at- tendants. plus Adams $l5.o00 would account for $40.000. The extra $i0.- 900 was the money earned by the players in bonuses for making the play-offs.
 Profits of the club were reported about 10 per cent higher than 1888 when sl0-a-s share dividend was declared. On this basise. Adams and Ross, as principal stockholders. would split approximately $24,Ooo.
 Exact figures were not released in accordance with league policy. All checks were mailed to the players'

TRIO OF CLUBS RETIRE FROM

Fischer Heads Group Once More - Waterbury

Special to The Democrtl

Hartford, May. 23-The Bristol West Ends, Ansonia Blue Devils and Meriden Endees will not be repre- sented in the State Semi-pro bask- etball league for the 1939-40 season. but their franchises will be taken over by the Willimantic Aces, New London Electric Boat Diesels and Meriden Insilcos.
 Three other new clubs voted in at last evenings meeting in the Cham Der of Commerce quarters in the Phoenix bank building were Hart ford, represented by Attorney Max Savitt, the New Britain Cremos and Stamford University club, making it 12-team league, three more than last season.
 Dr. Edward T. Fischer of Danbury was reelected president; Hyman Rabinovich of Naugatuck renamed vice-president; William Garrett of Bristol reelected secretary and Larry Balogach of Bridgeport treas urer. Last season the dual job of secretary was held by Mr.. Garret who also managed the Bris- tol West Ends.
 Herky Rubenstein, sponsor of the West Haven Red Devils and the old est player in the state, will play host to league officials and managers at his Continental club in Savin Rock at the next meeting, July IT, at which time a tentative schedule for the coming season will be adopt ed. Joe Kantrow, manager of the West Haven club last season, is no longer connected with the Devils.
 Lou Black. prominent columnist for the Associated Press and Grat- tan O'Connell of the Hartford Courant, were guest speakers at last evenings barley which was featured by the presentation of beautiful trophy, donated by Bill and Max Savitt of Hartford and presented by the latter, to Dr. Fuscher, manager of the Danbury Guards, last sea- sons champions.

smoking room, or drive about the countryside in either 8 Daimler 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 candle light, and on treasured plate, he has his choice of many and varied entertainments.
 If he feels gay, charming night club is only a 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 lat- est 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.
 Pretty Soft
 He is Lou Nova, prizefighter, in training for a fight with Max Baer in Yankee Stadium on June 1. And his training camp is the magnifi- cent estate of Dr. Pierre Bernard, the soft-spoken gentleman who is known to the Mystic Yoga trade as Dom the Omnipotent.
 There never has been training camp like it. Built on the lines of a feudal estate, its gates were opened to Nova by Dr. Bernard, who took a liking to the young Califor- nian and bid him use 1t as his own.
 Nova has been there more than three weeks and is thriving. He is stronger, heavier, and hitting harder than ever. It is not difficult to imagine the revolution in boxing 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 com- fort was of the pioneer sort
 But if Nova wins everything will be changed. Slug Donovan will pitch his training quarters in the right wing of the Metropolitan Mu- scum of Art and get his left in shape by flicking it at Rembrandts and Gainsboroughs. Butch Chopper will sharpen his eyes by nightly study of the heavens through an observatory telescope, and his foot work by repeated attendance at the Russian Ballet.
 Aspiring young. fighters will do their roadwork in Carnegie libraries throughout the country, and the rules will be changed to allow a man to wear his Phi Beta Kappa Key on his trunks. Vintage wines, not water, will be gulped by fight CTS between rounds, and fight ex- perts will work out the winners by equations.
 All of this, of course, if Nova wins. If Baer belts him out caulifiower culture will take the count, too.

WOODWARD NAG
 IS DERBY CHOICE
American May Become Owner of Winners of 2
 Great Races
By HARRY L. PERCY United Press Staff CorreSpOndentl

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Epson Downs, Eng, May g. (UP) A steady swing to William Wood- wards Hypnotist, one of two Amer ican-owned contenders in the 29- horse field, enlivened bookmakers' shops today as thousands of Eng lishmen sent their shillings and pences ringing across the counters in a final attempt to pick the win- ner of tomorrow's English Derby.
 While the forecast for clear weather and fast track for the 16Oth running of the mile and half classic, the trend toward the New York bankers sleek-coated bay be- came pronounced. Lord Roseberys Blue Peter, winner of the 2,000 guineaS stake at Newmarket a month ago, remained the nominal favorite at 75-20 but Hypnotist-at 17-2-was getting most of the play.
 Hypnotist has the best record of the three colts who have travelled the full derby distance. He won the derby trial sweepstakes in impress Sive fashion. Blue Peter never has run more than mile in public trial.
 Should Hypnotist win, Woodward would become the first man to sweep the two biggest races in England and America. His Johnstown already has captured the Kentucky Derby. Few American-owned horses have ever won the derby. The last was Dunbar in 1914.
 The attendance, like the betting, is expected to reach the highest fig ure since before the World War. The roads were filling already today and by morning most of them will be clogged.

Wally. the Ele- plants first sacker, got their only hit. Domenic Divito, ho played his first game with the Aces, got 4 hits and played a good game in the outfield. Tony Semiraro proved the hero of the game, allowing only 1 hit, 13 strikeouts, and walks. He also got 2 singles sacrifice and as- sisted in 3 plays at the plate. Doc" a very good pitcher for the Ele- phants, was benched because of an error. The Elephants played a wonderful game.

GIANT SHAKEUP BRINGS VICTORY
 OVER PIRATES
Terry Benches Bonura, Danning as Schumacher
 Wins-Cards Win
By GEORGE KIRKsEY


 United Press Staff Correspondent
 New York, May 23.-UP)-That old time remedy for slump "Shakeup the lineup"-is the watch word of every National league man. ager this season.
 Gabby Hartnett is far out in front in juggling his lineup so far this season but Bill Terry may catch him soon. Hartnett benched everybody in the Cubs lineup ex- cept Stanley Hack during the first month of the season. The Cubs finally lighted themselves and now Terry is picking the Giants lineup out of hat.
 Zeke Bonura and Hank Danning were benched yesterday and the Giants came out of the ether with a 9-2 triumph over Pittsburg climbing to sixth place. Johnny Mccarthy took over Bonura'S job at first base and drove in run. Jimmy O'Dea replaced Danning behind the bat and handled Hal Schumacher in fine fashion. Schumacher went the route for the first time this season, giving up only six hits.
 All National league managers ex- cept Bill McKechnie have shown symptoms of the jitters this season. With one exception McKechnie has stuck to his original lineup, barring changes necessitated by injuries. Only change McKechnie has made in the Reds was to bench Left Fielder Wally Berger for Lee Gam ble.
 On Their Heels
 The Reds kept up their blister ing pursuit of the Cardinals by de- feating Brooklyn, 6-3, for their sev- enth straight victory. Lee Grissom, credited with his third victory, had to have relief in the ninth and was the first Cincinnati hurler in a week who failed to go the distance. Donnie Frey hit a homer for the Reds and Ernie Lombardi kept up his hitting with single and double.
 The Cardinals held the National league lead with 2-1 victory over the Phillies, staying off ninth in- ming rally. Medwick'S double and mize's single accounted for the win ming run. Rookie Mort Cooper al- lowed only four hits but had to be assisted in the ninth by Curt Davis.
 Casey Stengel, who has been do- ing bit of juggling with the Bees lineup, finally found the winning combination again as Boston licked the Cubs, 5-3. Lou Fette, assisted by the able relief pitching of Dick Erickson, scored his sixth triumph. Bill Lee was the loser. A bleacher- ite who stuck his hand over the railing and touched what appeared to be homer by Steve Mesner with a man on in the fourth aided the Bees. The blow was ruled a dou- ble.
 With Mel Mazzera and Harland Gift 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 3-1 lead in the last of the fifth. Mel Harder had outpitched Monte Pearson.

. TRIPPING FOR PAR
Position of Left Hand Is Vital Point in Laying
 Foundation for Correct Grip
First of s6 illustrated articles on golf instruction.
 By ART KRENZ NEA Service Golf Writer

The keynote to the correct grip lies in the position of the left hand. It is the holding hand that carries the club through the backswing and the greater part of the downswing.
 The left hand should be rolled over the right until three knuckles are visible. If the player sees less than three knuckleS, the chances are that the hand will not be in a strong position. If more than three are visible the hand will be cramped. This will restrict its action during the swing.
 Let the club be braced securely against the heel of the hand with the thumb pointing toward the left hand placed in the proper position, maximum power is provided on the downswing.
 NEXT: Position of right hand.
