NEW WORKERS FACE LITHS SUNDAY EVE

The New York Nationals, talented pro basketeers, will show here to- morrow night against the K. of L. locpmen at St. Joseph's hall. The game is set for 8 o'clock, St. Josephs Holy Name taking on suitable rival in the ' o'clock preliminary dancing following the feature con- test.
 The New Workers, with Timmy Sullivan, batboy for the New York Yankees, on hand to bring them luck, should furnish a stiff test for the Liths as they have @ highly experienced crew of cagers with three to five years of pro and col- lege experience behind them.
 Two former Manhattanites, Jimmy Dolan, co-captain and crack drib- bier on the 1938-37 team, and stuffy Gearon, tenacious guard, who earned the nickname of "Leech'' while a Jasper, will be seen in acc ton, along with an N.Y.U. product Red" Dynan, husky three-letter star, and Stan Hildebrabdt, Ford ham grad, now with the New York A. o. quintet.
 Jack Craven. Cathedral college captain and ex-Brooklyn Visitation performer and Blunt Mardick, three- letter contribution from Kansas University, round out the squad.
 The Liths, victors in seven of 10 games, are averaging 49 points a contest, with Freddie Ferrle blazing along at a 17-a-game clip and Coach Joe Boley doing 14.5 each time out
 Action-filled, high-scoring battles are the rule at the Brooklyn hall and tomorrow's game should prove no exception.

United Press Stan Correspondent
 Boston, Jan. 27-(UP)-A slender l2S-pound speedster may travel half his normal course tonight and ter minate Glenn Cunn!ngham's dom- nation of the mile ranks.
 Black-haired Tommy Deckard, second ranking to former Indiana teammate Don Lash in the two- mile, seeks permission to match strides with Cunningham in the Knights of Columbus mile at the 18th annual Prout Memorial Games
 Chairman Bill Kenney entered him in the two-mile event and made him a provisional entry in the mile, but Deckard, insisting he is in the best condition of his ca- reer, feels he is ready to run one of the fastest board track miles in history.
 ."1'd like the chance to prove to myself that I do or don't belong in that particular company" Deckard informed Kenney.
 Tommy reportedly stepped @ mile in 1 minutes 10 seconds on Indiana's seven-lap saucer recently.
 He probably will be given @ fa- vorable decision several hours be- fore the games as was Gene Venzke in the Veterans of Foreign Wars meet two weeks ago. Venzke, whc switched from the half-mile, handed Cunningham his first Boston defeat in Il starts.
 Cunningham. who the experts be. lieve is slipping, faces stern oppo- sition from other quarters in hii quest for sixth straight win IT. this event.
 Another Threat
 Charles (Chuck) Fenske, Univer. sity of Wisconsin graduate student who thrice outsped the barrel chested Kansan in his last starts of the 1889 campaign, is another threat to the Cunningham dynasty
 At 30, the critics believe Cunning ham no longer can propel his fame scared legs fast enough to carry him past more youthful opponents in the vital stretch drive. Severa days ago in New York Glenn sait he would stop competing after tli' year to seek physical education position. ',
 Battling the Indian-visaged Gun ni,gham as he seeks a major vic' tory after 9 10-inonth dearth alst will be such stellar performers a' Archie San Romani of Emporia Kan, who took his number in thu Sugar Bowl metric mile, Texar Elaine Rideout, John Munski of thu University of Missouri and Louii Zamperini, formerly of the Univer' sity of Southern California who l! making his board debut.
 In the two-mile, Lash, who set thu world indoor record of s:6S here IT 1887, is favored to set down Gret Rice, formerly of Notre Dame, Wis consin's Walter Mehl, Forest Efav of Oklahoma, and Joe McCluskey former Fordharn great.
 John Borican of Elberon, N. J. and Campbell Kane, promising Tn diana sophomore, are expected t' wage principal contention in tn Hishop Cheverus 1000. Unles Charles (Chuck) Beetham puts Ii a late appearance, Harold Cagle ar,s Canada's Bill Fritz probably VII sew up the Prout 600.

Dear Miss Grey: So much argu-
msnt b waged over old age PEN
sions and wPA and other relief
but why 20 little about child well
faref l suppose It II because the
mothers Of children do not have
the opportunity to take the time
TO fight for the rights Of little
ones.
II IL true there are q few COM
mittees to help fight for the rights
Of children, but there has not been
enough publicity through the press
or radio in this important matter.
II y = mothers instinct to pro-
tect her young. For this reason
many mothers are afraid to fight
for their rights because they fear
they win lose the little aid they
are now getting. And considering
the security OF her position, Is
It any wonder why many mothers
are afraid to fight for their
rtghtsg
Why should not the mothers Of
little ones be given the opportun-
lty to train themselves. so they
win be able to support their chill
dren by making q decent wage?
The U. s. needs skilled workmen
and mothers need the chance to
give their children . higher educa-
ton. Remember the mothers Of
dependent children are helping to
build the character of the nation.
The state Of Washington alone
has Thousands Of dollars worth
Of fruit and vegetables going to
waste In the Puyallup valley. Why
not give the mothers a chance to
work for these products and the
opportunity to can them for their
family needs?
The people on relief are the
waste materials of the state and
nation, but waste materials have
been known to make more profit
than the main product for BUSH
ness. So why not give US a chance?
