The old saying, that when team
is rot there Is no stopping 1t, held
good In the case of Construction B
In their match with Sales B. These
fellows went to town and were so
good that they not only swept the
match but took the weekly prize
for high team total.
What a sweet victory 1t was for
Meter B when they put 1t on to
welfare for four points. These fell
lows had been saying what they
were going to do to each other, but
now 1t Is history. There was no
stopping those rnetermen with Fred
Valerie hitting 800 and ex-center
fielder, Johnnie DeVito moving them
down for 348.
That fellow John Hemingway
must have collected some horse
shoes for he was prize winner
again this week. This time he took
home the attendance prize.
Another team which couldn't be
beaten were the servicemefi. Piling
UP q total Of 1862 they. simply
smothered their opponents, the
Production. Outstanding in the VIC
tory were Ray Ahearn and Harry
Huey.
Looking over the scores Would al
most indicate that the boys are
getting down to business and from
now on we look forward to some
new seasons records being set up.
Maybe high single Of 200 or better

men were on the losing end by one
pin. jeff Gervais was the hero on
these alleys.
Meter A took q fall out Of the
pennant seeking Sales A by taking
two points. This was blow to the
Statesmen for they have their eyes
on first place. We say this to our
Sales friends that II Dick Hyland's
right hand had been In better shape
they would have been little sadder.
Dick bowled under big handicap.
The big surprise Of the evening
was the 8. 8. Operators knocking
over the Meter Readers for four
points. Art Bray, the scintillating
star Of the Operators, was back In
the line up which Maybe" spurred
the 8. s. boys to their best efforts.
Leave 1t to the District En-
gineers to pull the unexpected. They
smacked the Sales Engineers down
for three points when they were
not given a chance for point.

GIANTS WILL BE

Young President Quotes
New York Baseball IiistOs

A0NNOAAAASAA4Nl
New York, Jan. 1I--(UP) --Everys
body knows the New York Giants
finished in second division last sea-
son. But what they don't know IL
that the Giants positively have no
intention Of staying there.
And take it from Horace stones
ham youthful president Of the
Giants, they won't - not even tn
1910.
"We've finished In second division
only four times in the last IS years."
he said. THE Giants are not q
second division ball club and never
will be. Every once in o while we
have one Of those bad years and
the breaks go against us and we
finish out of the money. But every
time we do we always make O.
strong comeback.
"Take 1892 the last time we fins
ished out OF first division prior 10
last season. We were sixth that
year and came back to win the pens
nant and the World Series the f1exa
season. In 1925 we were fifth and
the next season third. In 1915 the
Giants finished last and then in
1917 they won the pennant."
Need Pitchers
Stonehaim believes the Giants can
get back In the National league race
next season with a few breaks, pare
ticularly around the pitchers box.
1--WE were fifth last season but We
weren't a fifth place club" said
Stoneham. I'VE might easily have
finished third. For instance, Mel
OFT, who had to leave the lineup be-
cause Of q charleyhorse, could have
played toward the end Of the season
but was kept out Of the lineup be-
cause there wasn't any use risking
injury. The Giants are far from
as bad as the records make them
look"
The Cardinals were tabled the No.
1 pennant contenders by Stonehanl.
He said he doubted II the Cardinals
would trade any of their stars be-
cause owner Sam Breadon has the
pennant bee and believes st. Louis
can win.
"The Giants tried to make some
deals for mature, experienced ball
players but we never got to first
base so we are going to rebuild BY
developing our own players" said
Stoneham. with Jack Cook to
head our farm system and, work
ing under Bill Terry's direction, we
should make some progress in that
field"
Bill Terry is positively in no dam
ger of losing his job as boss Of the
Giants because he had bad season,
Stonetaifl said.

Terry Club VIII Be Pennant Contender This Year Says P
TODAY'S
SPORT
PARADE
By HENRY McLEMORE

(United Press stan Correspondent
Los Angeles, Jan. li--(UP)- Given
health and carfarB I am going out
today and try to locate Richard O..
Scott Of this city.
Mr.. Scott may look as other men
do but he has Qualities, Or says he
has qualities, which certainly lift
him above his fellow man. On yes
terday he filed suit In superior court
for an Injunction to restrain the
Santa Anita track from barring him
from that home Of the thorough
bred.
In his complaint CAnd can YOU
imagine anyone complaining about
being kept out Uf d race trAcks2D
Mr.. scott said that his superior
knowledge Of race horses enabled
him to make d living out Of the
parimutuel machines. When you
stop to think how many pafitnutuel
machines have made d living out Of
all Of us except Mr.. Scett, my desire
to get q look at him Is understand
able.
I'm not one Of the big race track
philanthr0pists, but some Of the
smaller denomination taritnutuel
machines have lived OF me quite
nicely for years. They never were
quite able to go around with the $50
and 500 pariinutuel machine set,
but they belonged to d modest cutit1-
try club and were able to send rari-
tnutuel Jr. to boarding school-tote
boarding school, Of course.
Discovery
Now along comes Mr.. Scott to
argue that the parimutuel machines
are not entirely selfish, and, II ap.
preached In the proper manner, will
also contribute. This, II true, Is d
very important discovery and Mr..
Scott shouldn't keep the formula to
himself any more that medical men
should keep secret their discoveries
for the benefit Of humanity. Because
II there ever were gtuup Of stiffer-
ers who needed to get well" II Is
the race track bettofs.
II the superior court sides with
Mr.. Scott ana rifles that he can 60
to Santa Anita as often as he wants
to, he is going to have q hard time
getting any privacy. Someone will
point him out and say, "There goes
Mr.. Scott-the Mr.. Scotland q
line will form in back OF him and
follow him to whatever window he
goes to, listening for his choice In
the race. Then, with thousands of
ears listening he will have to make
his decision: whether to fool the
curious and ask for the wrong num-
Der, or beat the odds down to ten
cents on the dollar by letting every
one know what he Is betting.
AS write this I can almost hear
the angry crashing Of teeth by many
good burghers Of Los Angeles when
they picked UP today's paper and
read about Mr.. Scott. Here he has
been, a man with knowledge Of how
to beat the races, right In their
midst since the opening day of San
ia Anita. Had they known Of his
presence, and Of his gift, his popu-
larity would have been second Il
no mans In this area.
II and when meet Mr.. Scott j
am not going to ask him any foolish
questions. but get right down te
brass tacks. AS man to man / am
going to ask him for his selection
for tomorrow. There will be no non
sense about the weather or how do
you feel, Mr.. Scott.
