while the other player inhales. This
is repeated until the tissue Is passed

Dorothy Dix Says go
Bad.Tempered Wife Will Drive
Husband to Other Woman

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: I am
81 and have been married three
years. All my life I have had my
way about everything, but have re-
tanned nice disposition, although
I do have quite temper, especially
toward my husband. My problem is
this: Should I give in to my hus-
band when I know I am right and
humble myself to him? Or should
continue making him do as I
want him to do? He doesn't seem
to mind it and I have seen so many
cases of women suffering terribly
because they did not humble them
selves to their husbands. What is
your viewpoint on this questions?
MRS. McC.
Answer-Evidently you are one
OF the women, and there are plenty
of them, who are pleasant so long
as everything goes their way, but
when anything crosses them it. is
another story. Then they turn into
viragoes and say cruel and bitter
things that they expect every one
to forgive and forget as soon as
they have spit out all of the venom
that is in them.
Also, according to your own ac-
count, you are one of the wives
who know it all and are always
right and who are bent and deter
mined on making their husbands
do their way. How does it happen
that you are so sure that you are
incarnate wisdom? And especially
why do you think that you are so
much more competent to decide
every question than your husband
is? Did you marry an imbecile?

Teller Not to Start All- Star Game Sunday; Nc.
 Kechnie Names 6 Clubs

Tampa, Fla, March 15-(UP)-- Manager Joe Mccarthy will throw the pick of the New York Yankees and the Boston Red sox against the best in the National league when two all-star baseball teams meet here Sunday for the benefit of the Finnish relief fund.
 Mccarthy, pilot of the Yankees, did not announce his starting pitch CT but picked i've members of his own team and three from the Red Sox to open the game for the Amer ican league. Manager Bill McKech- i1ie of the Cincinnati Reds who will lead the National league team, scat tered his opening lineup among six clubs.
 McKechnie said his starting pitcher would be one of his own two aces-Paul Derringer and Bucky Walters who pitched the Reds to the pennant last season. Neither is likely to go more than two innings. Mccarthy said the only thing defi- nite about his pitching choice was that Bob Teller, fireball king of the Cleveland Indians, would not start the game, but probably would get into 1t later. McCarthy's choice of a starting pitcher lies among Red Ruf1ng, Bob Grove, Lefty Gomez, Buck Newsom, Emil Leonard and Tommy Bridges.

Tech Cagers Meet Alumni !; St. Marys, Driggs Play
 for Title

Further indication that Leaven- worth, as a high school is becoming bigger and better than ever" from 8 standpoint of school enrolment, improvement of its athletic teams and assurance of a baseball squad for the first time, will be given to- night, when several thousand people gather at the new State Armory on Field street for a program that has variety and class written all over it.
 At 2 o'clock, a basketball game will be put on which will decide the schoolboy champions of the city, as the contestants are the winners of the parochial and grammar school titles, St. Mary's and Driggs. An hour or so later, the "big' game is billed, featuring a collection of Leavenworth graduates who have provided many court thrill when they were giving their all for dear old Tech. Opposed to the grade will be a well-trained group of varsity players from Leavenworth which wound up the regularly scheduled season in 8 blaze of glory by win- ming three games off their own floor and capping the climax with a win over Crosby, the first of its kind on record.
 Mayor To 'Play"
 Coach Bill Tracy has his lads in fine trim for their final game against the Old Grads or Alumni team while former hoop and foot ball coach at Leavenworth, Jake Reiger, has an experienced squad of hoopmen whose prime object to- night will be to pin the kids ears back". Mayor Vincent Scully will toss up the first ball for the Tech Alumni game.
 In addition to the basketball games, there will be eight acts of vaudeville and dancing to the music of Timmie Crowe's band.
 Paul Perrazelli, the young grad", is general chairman of the fifth an- nual sports carnival which may at- tract as many as 5000 people.
 Chairmen of the various commit tees in charge of the event are: Dance, Edward Diginas; tickets, Fred Wood; basketball, Dick Fur cote and Clem Briotti, co-chairmen; refreshments, Carmen DeBlasio; wardrobe, Robert Knickerbocker; publicity, Edward Steinnagel; and entertainment, Lillian Bunnell
 The proceeds will help defray the outfitting of the schools first base- ball team and also assist in caring for the expenses incurred during the past basketball and football cam paigns.

Eagles Pointing
 For Ice Playoffs

New Haven. March 15-Playing brilliant hockey in their 8-2 win over Providence Wednesday night, the New Haven Eagles are now fa- vorites to finish in second place of the Int-Am hockey loop eastern clr- cult, and likely to play two-out-of- three games in the opening play-off round against their western oppcn- er1t. on the Arena ice.
 However, there's still work to be done before play-offs start which will be here on either next Tuesday or Thursday. Saturday night the Battle Birds are at Philadelphia and Sunday night close out at home against Cleveland. The Cleveland game is very important one, as the Barons may be the Eagles op- ponent in the opening round of the play-offs, and the club with the highest percentage will get two out of the three games.
 Cleveland will face a powerful Eagle combine, New Haven now having three lines which are all scoring threats. The return of "Blazin' Bill' Summerhill provided 7 the spark to send the Eagles flying once again.

TODAY'S SPORT
 PARADE
BY HENRY McLENfORE United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Sebring, Fla. March 15. - (UP) - This is a comparatively small city, but 1t has excellent telephone, tele- graph and carrier pigeon facilities, a fact which would lead one to be- lieve that If the New York Yankees had been sold someone would have informed Edward G. Barrow.
 Barrow has 8 right to know if baseball's biggest holding has changed hands. After all, he is president of the Yankees and the man with the biggest say. But when I talked with him, as he rocked se- renely on the porch of Kenilworth Lodge here, he hadn't heard any, thing about the reported sale of the team to Francis P. Murphy of New Hampshire.
 Money Talks
 The Yankees are for sale, no doubt of that. Not only the Yankees themselves but the whole vast base ball empire. Barrow frankly ad- mitted to me that there had been several fairly large nibbles from proiSpective buyers, but said noth- ing had come from them but a lot of conversation.
 The price placed on the Yankees and all their far-flung possessions Is a neat and completely gaudy sum of $7,500,000. Barrow didn't furn- ish me that figure, but it came to me from 8 source entirely reliable. And the Yankees will be sold, maybe not this year or the next, but in the not too distant future. The prop erty Is now in the hands of the estate, and the estate Is in the hands of three women. Look back through baseball history and you will find that when baseball clubs have passed into the hand of the ladies, they soon passed into other hands hands more interested in the game.
 The Murphy report marks the 10th, 11th or 18th time the Yankees have been sold" since the death of the man who made them and loved them Colonel Jake Ruppert.
