Blake Johnson Bowling Chatter
BY ROBERT L. PALMER

That number one position is go- ing to get plenty sore if the teams in this league don't stop abusing 1t It is bad enough having the Blues and Stars deadlocked practically all season, but now along comes the Whites and Stripes to seriously threaten the leaders. The latter two teams are but one and two games out of first respectively ane moving upward at fast clip.
 For three straight weeks Bill Christie and Eddie DuHamel have had their clubs tied for first place Last week they thought they had broke the tieup as the Stripes trounced the Blues in two games and the Stars went home thinking they had won two from the Whites. How ever, the alertness of Secretary Jot Aricla revealed that the Whites hac deprived themselves of pins ir the final game which had ended ir deadlock. A checkup showed MT A. one hundred per cent correct ane the Whites had won their 9th game in their last Il tries.
 With Ray Single showing the way the Stripes found the league leading Blues easy prey in the first two games and had the third game Fir the bag" until a powerhouse finish barely provided tn chatter team with enough pins to go home Witf a single game anyway. Christy anc Jack Coughlin again donated tt kitty.
 Call out the Dies committee! Cal out the Marines, the Army, Navy, ol somebody The Reds are on the warpath, not in Russia, but right here among the teams of the Patri- otic Pin League. Joe Howell's team won three games, only won less thar they have won all year - from tht Eagles who in contrast lost theil sixth game in row but still art but four games out of first. Keer up the good work, Reds!
 Leo BakmaZian. reliable anchor man with the Eagles will be lost tt the team for an indefinite period Leo is convalescing from a recen operation and his many friends wisf him a speedy recovery. Clarence White has been recalled from thu Greystone Trails where he has beer out on a "A hour option and will at tempt to fill Leo's shoes.
 Dick Owens has been on deck al week. He says more than once WI have given Dick Graham credit fo something he (Owens) has accom- l plished. Last week we gave MT Graham credit for pinning out g. pins without a mark while we meal friend of ours spotted in a dolla box seat at a well known Bridgepor theater last Thursday night. Eh Pugdgy?

creaSes, because they are bigger than the members of the first teams. REAL DEFENSE SAVED
 FOR GEORGETOWN GAME
 Boston College also has speed and deception. That couldn't even be concealed in the mud against Man hattan. The charge of the Eagles line is so fierce that deceptive plays of the opposition seldom get chance to uncoil. Offensively and defensively-when Leahy plays five men with Chet Gladuchuk, the cen ter; George Kerr, guard, and Mike Holovak, the fullback, backing up the line is terror.
 Going into the Georgetown game, the belief is that Boston College, which letds the nation in scoring, hasn't opened its real of- fensive yet, but is saving it for the epic battle which looms with the high-rolling Hoyas, who are un- defeated in three years-23 games.
 Even with a repertoire of ex- actly eight plays and attempting only one pass in a driving rain and mud, the Eagles rolled up l3 first down and 299 yards by rushing against Manhattan.
 BOSTON COLLEGE IS
 UNBELIEVABLY GOOD
 In addition to unlimited mate rial, swiftness and power, experts are struck with the smartness of Boston College players and the par ticular astuteness of Henry the Hemmer Toczylowski, the blocking quarterback.
 Watching Charley ORourke Toczylowski, Frank Maznicki anc Lightning Lou Montgomery, the experienced backs, and HolovaE and Mickey Connolly, sophomore amazers, observers are left speech less.
 Supported by such linemen as Gladchuk, Kerr, Gene Goodreault a great end, and an unlimited number of athletes of almost equal ability, they comprise team which can stand up against any in the country.
 Boston Colleges 1940 varsity is almost unbelievably good.

The man of the week, Louie "Mezzafatto' Piedmonte, with 386, wishes to thank the cooperating members for their presentation of the cupid onion for his achievement. Great going, "Mezzafatto" with your 124 average.
 The team of the week proved to be Cornell. Knocking off the strong Temple team was quite feat. Win ming three games any night by any team seems to be great accom- plishment in this league as the standing will show. Of the eight teams, not one is in lower posi- tion than fifth place. Fast stepping, I'd say.
 The man of this year, last year, the year before and the years before that, the great, one, incompatible, only, again great, knock-kneed Joe, I'll Sargent" I'll Duce", T Capi- tane," "Eight-Ball" Scarpati. What Q manl What a man!! His 152 was high single last Thursday night; so cut of 1t he conceives an original idea. Joe has opened up a school, educational, seductive and body building. He is now an instructor --of hook bowling. Joe claims form, mathematics, good English, sun glasses and golf-shoes are essential to good bowling. His idea of form is explained as follows: man must first pull his shirt-tails out of his trousers, rub his golf-shoes in resin, count the number of pins until they total twelve, put on his glasses, swear in good English under his breath, put some glue on his finger tips, pick up a pin, stand at the foul line, face the audience throw the pin at the balls, bow to the audience, holler to the pinboy to pick the pins out of he gutter and let the balls roll, smile, kick the rail, add his four to his original two and, at length, rest seventeen minutes before rolling the next block.
 Joe is of the opinion this explana- tion of his method of teaching should certainly bring him suffi- cient pupils to allow him to retire from his factory job and live in grand luxury. Good luck, old pal we'll visit you when they take you for 6 ride in a straight jacket.

BUYING
IS SPEEDING UP
Retail Sales Curve Upward
COuntering Production
Trends
BY FRANK MACMILLEN

NEW YORK, March is. -R-
Business hitched it's sales chart to
the Easter shopping parade today
as merchants prepared for the big
gest buying rush at retail counters
since Christmas.
Taking the trade spotlight away
from the worlds roaring business
in war machines, Americas sellers
of jaunty Easter hats, spring coats
and the latest fashions in women's
dresses stepped to the front of the
economic stage.
A Needed Stimulus
The swirl of Easter shopping along
main streets of the nation gave bust
ness a needed stimulus. Liquidation
of the short-lived autumn war boom
of industry continued the past week
and manufacturing activity generally
showed less expansion than usual
for the season.
Countering the production trend,
the retail sales curve spiralled up
ward in many communities. In the
remaining week before Easter, the
rise was expected to make the high
est March peak in retail sales in
years, partly because of the earli-
est Easter date in a auarter-cen.
fury.
Surveying Easter trade prospects,
the National Retail Dry Goods asso-
citation said big-scale buying would
be compressed within the coming
week.
Raw weather in many parts Of
the country i'll recent weeks has
caused millions among the popula-
ton to delay the purchase of spring
wardrobes," the association observed.
I'm many cases purchases will be
made the coming week regardless
Of the weather.
THE early arrival of Easter this
year-March "a compared with April
9 in 1939-may be expected to make
sales comparisons with last year
appear phenomenal"
Assuming the same general level
of business conditions as a year ago.
the association estimated the Easter
squirt would lift department store
sales 20 per cent for the week com
pared with the like 1889 period.

ADVERSE REPORTS
HIT BONDS HARD
UnfavorabIe Domestic News
And Peace Scare Are
Blamed For Drop

NEW. YORK, March 16.-LP-A
combination OF adverse business re-
ports in this country and uncon-
firmed peace rumors in Europe were
too much for the bond market to-
day and declines of fractions to more
than a point predominated at the
close.
Rails led the home list in retreat.
~sreflecting disappointment of traders
over the contra-seasonal decline in
freight a loadings last week. The
fact that some of the most promi-
nent rail stocks on the board, known
to be held in large volume by for
eigners, have been notably soft the
past few days had a sympathetic
depressing effect.
Average Drops
The Associated Press average of
20 rail bonds yielded IS of a point

cluded Atlantic Coast Line 4 1-2s at

stone Tire and Rubber 3 lbs climb
ed 5-S to LOT 3-4 and Consolidated

European dollar bonds proved less
sensitive to peace talks abroad than
did American issues. The three north
country loans-Denmark, Sweden
and Norway-held within a point
either way Of Fridays close and
there was little volume.
Bonds of Argentina, however.
yielded 1-8 to l is points on re-
ports that Japan had concluded a
trade treaty with the South Ameri-
car republic. Smaller Argentine ex-
ports to the United States, some
traders felt, would make servicing
of dollar debts less assured.
U. S. government bonds were vir'
tually unchanged.

NEW YORK, March 16.-LPL
With so.called war babies again
under pressure, the stock market
today ended a generally unsatisfac

A%ircrafts and steels were under

Short selling was said to have
broadened a bit and the touching
off of an assortment of stop-loss Or
ders served to accentuate early
price softness. Chartists inclined to
turn bearish because Of the break

NEW q R COTTON

NEW YORK, March is. H-
A general .liquidating movement
knocked cotton futures 10 to Is
points lower today.
The market missed the steadying
influence of the March contract,
which expired Friday. and a raft of
unfavorable news kept selling or
ders streaming in from all sides.
A sharp break in the Bombay
market started the slide and the
downward trend to most other CON-
modities did little to tempt buying.
In the background. and possibly
the main eason for the declines,
brokers said. was news from abroad
that Europe was once more weigh
ing peaceful solutions to the present
imbroglo.
Still another deterrent to buyers
was the undeveloped stage reached
in the farm Appropriation bill at
Washington. Many are hopeful the
bill will end up with provisions for
parity and subsidy payments but
final action is yet to come.
