Sparks From The Power League

by one point Fred Valerio's rolling was so good it brought home the weekly prize for high three. He had 365 while Douskey, for the Linemen, was not far behind with 344.
 Construction "A" continued its good work when it split its match with Sales "A," a team which has been knocking over all of its recent opponents. However, the Salesmen had to make a great finish by pick ing up over 100 pins in the last game to gain an even break.
 The Meter Readers remained near the top of the standing by taking three points from Dick Hyland' 5 Meter "B." One of the mysteries of this years race is the sharp reversal of form of Bob Boppeler and Ed. Culhane who have not shown any of their last years work to date. However, the race is not over yet.
 Another fine match found the V s. trict Engineers taking three points from their old rivals the Station Operators, which boosted the En- gineers in the standing. We must admit the Operators were of their game by far while their opponents took advantage of every break.
 As the league enters the second half of its schedule, we prophecy that it is going to be a great race right down the stretch and who will win? Well that is something we'll have to leave to old man Time.
 After this weeks matches, the averages of the teams will again be figured but we are told by the cus- todians of averages that it is sur prising how the teams in general have maintained their averages and no great changes are expected.

WAR ADMIRAL TO TACKLE STEINER COMPETITION

War Admiral would have to be shipped to California for an- other meeting with the Biscuit this winter, however, for that is where the son of Hard Tack will seek to break old Sun Beau's world winning record in his third attempt to cop the $100,- GOO Santa Anita Handicap, March 4.
 Hialeah, personally supervised by Joseph E. Widener, the foremost figure in racing, vice chairman of The Jockey Club of New York and president of Belmont Park, offers II stakes. The most important of these are the $7500 McLennan Memorial, Feb 18; the $20,000 Flamingo, Feb. 25, and the $50,0O0 Widener Chal- lenge Cup, March 4.
 The Flamingo last year pro- duced Lawrin, the Kentucky Der by winner, and Pasteurized, which ran third at Churchill Downs, and captured the rich Belmont Stakes.
 War Admiral romped in the Wid- ener Challenge Cup, in which he carries 131 pounds this trip and faces sterner competition from Stagehand and others.
 The Admiral is in fair condition, but not in as good training shape as he was year ago.
 The son of Man O. War may participate in several races before the Widener.

 ''The selection of a Louis foe may be made from an open field. Any one of the young heavyweights now coming up may develop rapidly enough. Nova may do it. Max Schmeling may be eligible. Farr may qualify if he beats Burman decisively, particularly ill view of the fact that he gave Louis @ busy fifteen rounds, and despite his fail- ure to win in any of his four Amer. ican boutS."

The following, "A Railroad
Mans Prayer" wss written by
we'll known veteran railroader of
this city:
Our Heavenly Father, we ask
forgiveness for our failure to OBJ
serve Thy divine rules and regula-
lions. We would ask Thee to lift
us up from this rough road of life,
and place us safely upon the deck
of the train of salvation; and we
humbly ask Thee to make all
couplings with the links Of Thy
strong chain of love and for our
book Of Instructions give us the
Holy Bible. Have all our sema-
phOre signals show the white
light of faith and we beseech
Thee to have all switches set for
our main line that we may make
the run in safety to that Heavenly
Station and not be derailed by
the deception Of Satan and for our
shifting list give us the Ten Com
mandments. We would ask Thee
our Heavenly Father to help us
that we may be the means of guild
ing many of our fellow-men to
that Union Station on high, and
for our trainmaster give us Thy
crucified Son Jesus. and when we
have made our last run may the
