 News And Notes

John Delaney and Eddie Loftus continued their amazing winning streak on last Monday night by winning three games from Joe Keegan and Bill Dwyer, and as a result maintained their hold on first place in the league standing. It was one of those things that just had to be done since Mike Kitchen and Joe Farrell, trailing by one game, also took three. By the way, our tournament trophy is on exhibition in the store room ad- joining the lanes
 Harry Ryan and Joe Dunn dropped one to Ron Daly and John- nie Mitnick, which leaves them out of the running at present unless Ted Hardy and Go, do something drastic next week. This does not seem probable since they held their chins out for three while showing in opposition to Mike Kitchen and Joe Farrell, who incidentally both tossed ringers.
 The latest appointment recorded Is that of Louie Hickox to keeper of the grounds. Lou succeeds Tom Quilter who failed to put in an ap- pearance early enough to spread rock -salt on the lanes. Pete Fitz- Henry was resentedetaoin
 Henry was presented with a new cushion for the rocking chair from which he directs the contests, the presentation being made by Ed Con- Ian. After the collection had been taken up 1t was found that there is enough remaining in the treasury to furnish the former city control Ter and present mountain golf champ with sun glasses. He re- ceived these next Monday night. In view of the warm weather cocktails will be served during the games next Monday.
 Jim Barrett and Bill Dwyer have entered the first protest of the sea- son claiming that Joe Hench and Pat Garvey cheated on the score Oscar Tuebner and Jim Heating promise to be on hand early Mon- day. Social item-oJe Bowen is visiting realtives in Boston Mass.

LOU CEHRIC CRIES
 AS 62,O0O FANS STAND TO CHEER
'Luckiest Man on Earth Says Yankee Iron Man
 in Finale
BY LESLIE AVERY United Press Staff Correypondent)

New York, July 5-(UP)-The big fellow stood there at home plate and tried to speak into the micro- phone, but he choked up and his fist went to his eyes to push back the tears before he attempted to address the crowd that had come to pay him tribute.
 Even an "iron man" is entitled to one good cry, and Lou Gehrig had his before nearly 62,000 admirers in Yankee Stadium yesterday.
 Grand Tribute
 It was Lou's formal farewell as an active player in baseball, and never was there a more touching scene on 8 diamond. It was a grand tribute to Lou's IS seasons with the Yankees, to his almost unbelievable 2l30 consecutive game record that was ended in April by an obscure form of infantile paralysis.
 After a pat on the back and a re- assuring word from Manager Joe Mccarthy, who appeared to be al- most as affected as Gehrig, the for- mer first baseman spoke his piece.
 For the past two weeks," he said, you've been reading about what a bad break I had. But I want to say now that I'm the luckiest man on the face of the earth"
 Those words climaxed 8 40-minute celebration of "Gehrig Day" between games of doubleheader the Tanks split with the Senators, and when Lou had finished there was spon- taneous roar from the stands.
 The members of the Yankees great 1927 team had come to honor "Loco- motive" Lou. Each was introduced and cheered, and except for Gehrig, 1t was Babe Ruth who received the greatest ovation. The others who came were Bob Meusel, Mark Koenig, Tony Lazzeri, Waite Hoyt, Herb Pennock, Jumping Joe Dugan, George Pipgras, Bob Shawkey and Earl Combs, Yankee coach. Among the other prominent old timers who turned out were Wally Pipp, whose job Gehrig took at first base when he began that consecutive game rec- ord in 1925; Everett (Deacon) Scott whose record of 1907 consecutive games Gehrig broke; Wally Schang and Benny Bengough.
 Eulogized
 Mayor LaGuardia called Lou "a perfect prototype of the best sports manship and citizenship of this city and nation" Postmaster General Farley said "your name will live long in baseball and wherever the game is played they will point with pride and satisfaction to you and your record" Daniel M. Daniel, New York baseball writer, presented Lou e silver bowl and candlesticks from the New York Giants, and called him "the greatest first baseman of all time."
 It looked as if Gehrig was going to break down after their eulogies, but President Ed Barrow of the Tanks walked over and put his arm around Lous shoulders, and the big Yankee captain bucked up notice- ably.
 Among the other gifts he received were numerous silver platters, bowls and cups, a tobacco stand from the baseball writers, fishing rod and tackle from the Stadium grounds crew, and silver trophy from his fellow players.

Cummings And Dougwillo
 Head Waterbury Card

Lining up 0 series of main bouts which will get under way tomor- row night at Randolph Cloves sta- alum when Bobby Cummings of New York meets Johnny Douswillo, Wa terbury A. c. officials are hoping to bring Dick Turcotte and Irish Eddie Dollar, into the local fight picture before the summer is gone. For in- stance If Cummings "does a job' on Dougwillo tomorrow, he may be paired with Dolan, while Dougwillo and Dick Turcotte shape up as "natural" opponents, the latter hav- ing met and defeated Cummings- by an eyelash, and due to dirty fighting rather than lack Of ability.
 Hard Hitter
 Crmmings can really Ego" when he is pressed, and, on the basis Of what Dougwillo showed against Joe Triano. the colored lad from the big city will De presser all the way. Both are fast and shifty, and Cum mings is 0 stro g right hand punch- CT, to boot. Dougwillo claimed he had little training for the Triano bout, but won 1t after getting oil the floor. For Cummings, he better be in top form-or else.
 Hundreds of local fans who saw Joe Wallace stop Billy Perrin Of Bristol in the greatest slugging bee since Bobby Kelly and Bull" Hayes "had 1t out" many year ago will be waiting for the return go fea- turing Wallace and Perrin tomor- row. That one alone figures to be worth the price of admission even If 1t were @, which ig not the case.
 Bobby Ellis and Jimmy Strong. Sam Craig and Popeye O'Coin of Marlboro, Mass, John Devore and Joey Marcus are other good bouts on the well-matched program that should attract capacity crowd, given good weather.
