start a new life and, moreover. they
have no desire to leave a secure
meal ticket. The IL he was asked
to find were career women who
had been supporting their hus-
bands. There is sort of cynical
humor as well as tragedy in Mr..
Eisenberg's findings. because while
we all look upon the wife-deserter
with scorn and contempt, we are
bound to concede that he has his
points, and wonder that there are
not more of him.
Think of the men who rise up
and sit down to their wives never
ending nagging: who never know
what it is to have one moments
peace when they are at home, or
to be permitted to do the simplest
thing the way they want to do it!
Think of the men who live in fear
of the bill-collector and who see
all Of the hard labor of their lives
being thrown away In senseless ex-
travagance by their wives! Think
Of the men who have their wives
families hung like the old woman
of the sea, about their necks!
Think OF the men whose lazy
wives never give them a decent
meal, or a clean place to sit in of
an evening! Think Of the men who
see their children being ruined by
silly mothers who never correct
their faults and bring them up
without manners or morals! Think
of all the men with complaining
wives, with whining wives, with
weeping wives, with wives who be-
little them! And the marvel of it
is that so many of them have the
courage to stand the gaff instead
of fleeing from the torment in
which they live. But Mr.. Eisen-
bergs conclusions that there are
only eight basic faults Of wives that
cause their husbands to throw up
their hands and quit without no.
tice should not only warn but cheer
wives. For 1t shows that holding q
husband Is not the occult and mys-
terious matter women profess to
believe that 1t Is.
1t doesn't depend ON a wife's
looks, nor her keeping slim and be-
ing a glamor girl when she is 40.
It just depends on the wife max
ing herself and the home 50 pleas
ant that the husband wants to
come back to them at night in
stead Of taking the 9:45 to parts
unknown. And any woman can do
that If she will.

curtains hang in q living room?
MRS. MAC.
Answer:
Portieres are used wherever you
wish to soften the harsh edges of
door frame even though they may
never be drawn to actually separate
the two rooms. I think they would
be very nice in your case. You will
want a heavy material with a fin
ished surface on either side. ANY,
thing from velvet to monks cloth
would be suitable. If your furniture
is upholstered in figured materials,
or your rugs heavily designed, I sug-
gest you use plain color In some
shade that you wish to accent in the
room. If your other furnishings are
plain In color then you might get
material that is striped or otherwise
designed to add spot Of color to
the room. Tailored curtains should
be either floor or sill length, not any
point in between.
DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
I am about to get new draperies
for my bedroom. Looking from my
living room the windows of my bed
room are visible, so I have kept that
in mind when selecting material
The windows Of the sun porch are
also visible from the living room
The sun porch has plain colored
walls almost the same shade as the
figured wallpaper of the bedroom.
How can I curtain the porch win
dows without getting too many de-
signs visible? Shall I just use plain
white tie-back curtains?
PUZZLED.
Answer
Would there be any reason why
you should not use the same drapery
material on the sun porch as you
do in the bedroom, since they are
evidently in a direct line of vision?
Certainly, If you selected one with
the idea of its being seen from the
living room 1t would be equally as
attractive to use the same motif
again, and 1t will be saved from
monotony by the difference in wall
surface. Also, you might accent
another color with 1t on the porch.
DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
I have just built most informal
house out in the country in Vir-
ginia where we go for week ends
during the hunting season. I have
used handmade furniture through
out. combining the mountain things
Of the South with some colorful In
dian and Mexican pieces from the
Southwest. I am frank to admit
that I am delighted with the effect.
However, I need lamps and small
tables and those two items seem to
elude all my searching. I thought
possibly you might be able to sug-
gest some place near here where I
could find the necessary items to
complete my room.

CLUB OFFICIALS
 WARNED AGAIN
 TEMPERANCE
Prick to Notify Club Own- rsMcPhail Would
 Trade Mungo

New York, Feb. 8. (UP)--A resolu- Non was on the books of the Na- Honal league today reminding each club owner of the rule against nego- tiations for or with rival club play CTS not under contract, and discus- sions with any player under con- tract to another organization.
 The subject came up at the leagues meeting yesterday when one of the magnates thought 1t was high time the managers or club officials stopped tampering with holdouts. A specific case was that of Bill Terry, Giant manager, who had been quoted last Saturday that he was interested in giving cash and plyers for Van Lnigle Mungo, Brooklyn pitcher who has not yet signed.
 Other players mentioned were Harry Danning, Giant catcher who sent in his signed contract yester- day, Johnny Mize and Joe Medwick of the Cardinals, and Harry Null cahy and Claude Passeau of the Phillies.
 Ready for Business
 Larry MacPail, executive vice. president of the Dodgers, informed the meeting he had said he would gladly talk trade for Mungo with the Gtapto yarauidiy.U thaf nanF,iva q was included in the deal.
 "As @ matter of fact, however, MacPhail said, mo major league club ever has made me an offer"
 It was then decided by the mag mates that Ford Prick, president of the league, should notify all clubs advising more strict adherence to the no-tampering rules.
 Immediately after the discussion, 1t was announced Danning had signed, leaving the Giants with only four players still out of the fold Outfielder Joe Moore, Second -Base- man Burgess Whitehead, and Pitch- CTS Dick Coffman and Fly Vanden- berk. Danning, who had been a holdout, reportedly received a $2,500 raise over his $i0,000 figure of last year.
 ,"he Dodgers trimmed their ros- ter to 42 players, two over the limit, when they sold Lee Rogers, south paw pitcher who started last season with the Boston Red Sox, to the l29 per man.

A slick first game with 645 team total, followed by another effort of SIS enabled the Chase Metal array of the Industrial Bowling league to pick up another full game on Amer ican Brass and give themselves a four game lead in the second round of competition held weekly at the Mattatuck alleys. Individually, Gar fano of Blake and Johnson turned in a nice nights work, with a tie for high single of 157 and a high three of 428. Both Chase and Brass hit more than 600 in two of their three games, the first game by Chase being beauty, 645, and average of 129 perman.

FREE THROW BEATS
 CONNECTICUT BLUES

One of those Frank Merriwell finishes, with Gene Sweeney in the feature role, gave the Boys Club Cadets a 43-42 victory over the New Haven Connecticut Blues last even- ing before a handful of fans at the Cottage Place court.
 Sweneey stepped up to the foul line with 40 seconds to play and sunk the complimentary award which proved the deciding factor against the Elm City lads who three weeks ago defeated the West Side Speedboys in an overtime game at the Central Y.
 The game was one of the fastest and most hard fought on the Boys Club surface in years. Only once in the first period did the boys managed by Bud Maru garner the lead and then it was only for breathing spell as Rocco Rinaldi, Howie Loughlin and ever-depend- able Gen Damelio kept dropping in double-deckers to regain the lead for the Soldiers.

M'pHAIL DOPES OUT NATIONAL
 PENNANT RACE
Plenty of ''If" Teams This Season - Giants a Big
 Question Mark
BY GEORGE KIRKsEY

United Press Staff Correspondent)
 New York, Feb. 8.-(UP)-The National League will be composed of seven If teams" this season and any of them might be capable of winning the pennant, Larry Mac Phail, vice president. mastermind and mouthpiece of the Brooklyn Dodgers, predicted today.
 The only team nobody has to wor- " about Laughing Larry" fore cast, is the Philadelphia Pllillies, who are just doing the best they can."
 The Chicago Cubs, he said, must be considered the favorites but only because they won last year-not because he thinks they are any stronger than several other clubs.
 "The Cubs" said Macphail, "won last season in an off year. They start off this season with plenty of ifs, the biggest of which is their outfield. Every man is question mark. Augie Galan finished the sea- son with a bad knee: Jimmy Glee- son has yet to prove he can play in the majors and Hank Leiber was big flop with the Giants. Dick Bar tell, who is bothered by neuritis, is also a doubtful quantity. And what about Dizzy Dean?"
 Regarding the New York Giants whose manager, Bill Terry, said they will finish one-two, MacPhail said: "Yes, and they can also drop into the second division.
 Uncertain
 "The Giants have as many ifs as any other club. If Hubbell. Schu- macher and Castleman all come through, Terry will have as good a club as last year but no better, and he only finished third. Then 1t still remains to be seen whether Demaree can play centerfleld and Bonura first base"
 Cincinnati, figured by experts as the flag-winner, does not rate very highly with MacPhail.
 Look at the Reds infield," he said. "You can't expect Mccormick to hit 1926 again. Frey at second, Myers at short and Riggs at third won't win any pennant for them. For the Reds to win, that infield has got to be plugged up."
 Regarding Pittsburgh MacPhail had this to say:
 "The Pirates blew the pennant last year when they should have won it. If they couldn't win then, how can they do 1t this year? see no im- provement in Traynor's club"
 Cards Strong
 MacPhail regards the St. Louis Cardinals as potentially dangerous but packed with so many ''ifs" they cannot be considered pennant con- tender now. The Cards, he said, won't make any deals because they think they have chance to win the pennant. "They have power and speed, all right" Larry explained, but they need plenty of pitching and have a second base and short- stop problem to solve"
 The Boston Bees, he said, are starting with strong pitching staff and "could pull a surprise if they came up with couple of hot young- sters."
 MacPhail ranks his own Dodgers as good as any in the league outside of the pitching box.
 we recognize pitching as our big problem" he said. "If Whit Wyatt and Van Mungo should come through, we'd have as good a club as the Giants. Our infield is as good as any in the league and our out field ranks up with the best. Pete Coscarart at second and George Stainback in center field are going to do much toward making our team. Watch those two boys"

NEW COMMISSIONER
 PROMISES CLEANUP
Governor Takes Verbal "Shot" at Resigned
 Mcdonnell

Lansing, Mich, Feb. 8.-(UP).- John Hettche, Michigan's new box ing commissioner, said today that boxing is in a dirty mess now and I'll clean up as soon as possible"
 Hettche, Detroit automobile deal- CT, was appointed yesterday, replac- ing Frank MacDonell, former sports writer who sent his resignation to Gov. Frank Fitzgerald on Monday.
 MacDonell, angered by reports the governor had said his action was flor the good of boxing in Michi- gan," attempted to withdraw his resignation, but Fitzgerald refused to consider such move.
 MacDonell resigned during storm of criticism directed at his super vision of the Tony Galento-Natie Brown heavyweight match last Fri day. Another bout during Mac Donell's administration, in which Jimmy Adamick suffered a per- manent eye injury while fighting Roscoe Toles, is the object of proposed legislative investigation.

St. Lucy Bowling

After lapse of several weeks, the sports publicity editor of the bowl ing league has been taken to task for more and better write-ups con- cerning the St. Lucy bowling activi- ties. So with the welfare of the boys in mind, I will henceforth attempt to publicize each and every bowler that merits 1t, whether 1t be con- gratulatory or brick-batty, if I may use the vernacular or stereotype as the case may be.
 The Trailers have crept up to a first place tie with the seemingly tnvincible G-Men mainly through the efforts of their star performer, one John Tolla, the pipe smoker. Tolla, who might pass for an Arrow collar ad, has increased his average each week so that he now sports an average that is within striking dis tance of first place and Spiggy,s first position is naturally seriously threatened. Another reason for the Trailers' spurt and tic with the Summamen can be traced to Spag- nola's defiating bowling average. It seems that ever since Lefty got the suprenumerary appointment lis left arm has lost that fiexibility.
 Last weeks cheese rolling Goldie Giordano hampered the Scouts cause much to the dismay of Capt. Carpentieri, who certainly tries hard considering the handicap of carry- ing men like Santagatto and Mini- cucci, who can always be depended upon to get beautiful filters of no less than one.
 Another team that seems to be coming along in fine style is the Senators, explained by that scin- tilating performer-Mr. Spiggy Mag xalupo-and who this year recovered fully from a leg ailment that great 1y hampered him last year. They tell us that he has his leg massag ged each week by his brother bowlers, MeSsrs. Dan Summa and Spec Mar tinclli (no relation to GioyannD Another man who tries hard for Spiggy is Toots Berardi, a boy who makes plenty of noise.
 Paul Longo finally awoke from his lethargy last week and bowled 6 f1ne 349 to bring his average in the 100 class. We suspect that Father McVerry, our amiable co-bowler, gave him a pep talk. Another man who seems to make plenty of noise of late is Don Pope, who spends his days making truck go and on We'd nesday evenings spends his time making the naples go. The Presi- dents, however, without the services of Arnold Cipriano managed to win Q game thereby remaining in A tie with the Scouts for third spot.
 We have purposely waited until this last paragraph to talk about the New Dealers for they are in last place and naturally they must wait their turn. Capt. Iannachine (our international correspondent has of late been bowling very mediocre due probably to palpitations he gets when watching his teammate, Nan na" Dichele. For the past two weeks Dichele has been hitting over 90 which was quite unexpected by Tom and instead of keeping up his own average he has depended too much nf Michael with the result that Doc" Rosa has found 1t necessary 70 take over the managerial reins Tor the ensuing weeks. Part of Docs strategy has been in juggling the hneup with the hopes of rounding put winning combinat tion-and 1t seems to be working-for Mr. George hartino has awakened also, as his yesage will attest.
