1t doesn't pay to become too en-
thusiastic about a baseball club win
ming one game. In fact, no one
knows right now whether it's WORTH
while getting excited about team
winning nine games-even in a row.
Yet a glance at the National
League standings today will show
anybody interested that the New
York Giants are in third place and
a thought about the manner in
which they subjugated the st. Louis
Cardinals, IA, yesterday might con-
vince some that they may stay there.
The Giants this year have one Of
those extremist" teams. The vet
Grams are too old and the rockies are
too young. But the gray-beards are
full of wisdom and the no-beards
are filled with enthusiasm, and the
right mixture can be powerfully ex-
plosive.
Powerful in Attack.
Making a delayed start against
their first Western opposition of
the season, the Giants got IA hits
yesterday. Mel OFT hit homer with
one on, Mickey Witek hit a round-
tripper inside the park, Harry Dam
ming smacked two doubles and two
singles, and so on.
In addition, they got one of the
best jobs of relief pitching any team
in the big leagues has received this
season. Lefty Cliff Melton took
charge with none out in the third
and proceeded to hurl for six in
nings, giving up only two hits.
In the last five games the Giants
have amassed a total of SIS hits.
They have proven pitching strength.
And aside from dropping three
games to the Brooklyn Dodgers DUR
ing the red-hot streak of the latter,
they have lost only one game this
spring.
Have First Division Glass.
AS pointed out, the balance be.
tween age and youth on the club
isn't good enough to make it a pen
nant contender. but the way they
mauled those Cardinals yesterday
shows they have the stuff fans ex-
pect of first division club. There's
not likely to be anybody in front
OF the Giants except the fellows who
are fighting for the flag.
Bad weather washed out all but
two of the major league contests
yesterday. In the other game the
Detroit Tigers downed Washington,
5-3. This put the Tigers hot on
the heels of the Boston Red Sox
and Cleveland Indians, who are tied
for the lead in the American
League.

st. Thomas Boz0limg Notes

Father Donnelly's team went to
town by taking over Freddy Rap
pelt's team for three games. They
also broke the high team single with
548, beating the record by just one
pin-also, beating the record for the
high total for three games with
1851 pins. This was unusual in
asmuch as Father Donnelly's team
bowled with only four men-Ed
Fitzgerald, Jack Circuit, Danny Per-
rim and Jack Hanlon-everyone
averaging well over the 300 mark.
Jack Grout led the team with a total
of 354.
The old war-cry is out get Miller"
but everybody knows that Miller is
a hard man to get. George Miller
',oWled a nice game himself with
grand total of 1913 which is not bad
even in the professional ranks.
Freddy Rappelt looked kind of dis
couraged and bowled less than 300
himself. We know Freddy can do
better than that.
Billy Weir started off with a bang
by getting lis pins, but cooled OF
on the last two.
HOWE Gagain was away OFF form
getting only 298 for his evenings
work.
Bernie Gagain was in good form
and improved with every game,
winding up with 349.
Th1re were quite few absentees
Monday night-mostly due to colds.
We hope that by next Monday
everybody will be on deck as it Is
getting near closing time and the
race Is very, very close.

Charley was taken three games by

Father Donnelly won three from
Fred Rappelt, the reason was that

Gone with the wind are the Loew.
Poll basketeers and hoop kings Of
Washington Hill are the Gents Of
the Hill following last evenings first
round playon for the Washington
Park Community league title.
The Poll quintet, only combine to
defeat the Gents in the first round,
were completely outplayed in every
department last night and were even
fortunate that the final score Of "a
"a was not much larger.
The house was damned, wagers
were many and the best team won.
Jim Tracy and "Zockeye" McCor-
mick refereed and umpired the clas-
sic like Central Boarders and be-
lleve 1t or not, no complaints were
registered after the game.
Casey Best
Johnny Casey was the big gun for
the Gents cutting the cords for five
field goals and an Annie Oakley for
II points and high scoring honors
Of the evening. He was in rare form
and four of his field goals were left
handed hook shots which reminded
old-timers at the contest Of Harry
Lefty" Kane in his prime.
Defensively the Gents can lay the
bouquets at the feet Of Armand
Ounha and Joe Runividge who
played the ball of both backboards
like professionals. The best bet for
the losers, as usual, was Gen DAM
clio, who by the way, had to sit out
the third quarter with bloody nose
sustained accidentally in scramble
for q free ball. Lou Chestone Of
the theatermen received a minor
cash on his proboscis late in the
second period but managed to re-
main in the contest.

The Poll hoopmen started of like
a house on fire, Johnny Grimm sink
ing long shot and Rocco Rinaldi
following up with two set shots
while Runividge was sinking a fol-
low-up shot to garner 6-2 lead.
Then the Gents evened matters with

followed by a foul by Cunha. From
then on the Gems held the lead
which they failed to relinquish.

PARADE
BY HENRY McLEMORE


UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
Hollywood, Cal, Feb. 2.-(UP)-
Yesterday as l was sitting around
having a cocktail In the same city
with Hedy Lamar, Lana Turner,
Vivian Leigh and Jean Arthur,
someone mentioned that girl Jockeys
were going to ride in a race at
the Aqua Callente track on Sunday.
HAD they said a submarine had
been sighted in my bathtub /
couldn't have been more interested,
and I Immediately told one OF my
social secretaries to catch a street
car and 60 ask the parole commits
sioner if 1t would be all right for
me to SO to Mexico over the week
end.
If he consents to let me go south
of the border, down Mexico, way
I'm singing at this moment, even
if you aren't) I'll be at Caliente
when the girls get a galloping
Without ever having seen girl jock
eyS in action I strongly suspect
there is going to be lot of trouble
connected with tine whole thing.
In the first place, no one is go
ing to be able to identify the horse
they bet on by the silks of the
Jockey. Don't try to tell me that
any girl is going to wear any silks
that are handed to her, regardless
of color, cut, or fit. The blonde
jockeys are going to insist on pe-
coming shades OF blue, no matter
what the real colors are of the own
ers they are riding for. And If
you think any red head in the
punch is going out dressed in d
cerise shirt, then you don't know
as much about women as do.
Determined
Another thing, what woman is go
ing to pay any attention to the
instructions given to her in the
paddock by the trainer as to how
ne wants the horse ridden? She'll
ride the horse just as she pleases.
The average woman Is mdepen-
dent enough, but give one of them a
whip, as these girl jockeys will have,
and she'll be her own boss.
Then there is the question of
the weights. AS all of you old horse
players know the weight a horse
carries is very important. But who'll
be able to believe the weights at
Aqua Caliente on Sunday? Wo-
men just dent go around reveal
ing their honest weighs.
And what will happen in case OF
a photo finish? Is there any Wo-
man with insufficient vanity 70
think they're taking picture OF
the horse she is riding and not
of her? Once she realizes there is
a possibility of having her picture
taken at the finish line she win
forget all about riding and spend the
last sixteenth of mile primping.
The horse will have to get along
the best he can as the gal jockey
powders her nose, adjusts her cap
more becomingly, and daubs on
fresh lipstick. When she crosses
the finish line she will be sitting
straight up in the sadie giving the
camera the old smile.
Don't be surprised If, after this
race with the girl jockeys, you
read such startling information as
this:
miss Fiji Mahoney was suspend
ed for 10 days by the stewards for
throwing her compact at Jockey Ma
rie Dizzione while rounding the far
turn"
Or
miss Eunice Partsmart and Miss
Doris Cluny were fined 500 each
and set down for the remainder OF
the meeting because of gossiping on
the backstretch during today'S rum
ming of the Lassie Stakes"

C. L. P. Mixed
Bowling League

WHO T'RUN THAT BOMB?
The Mixed League was cocky and
confident too.
They said, We're the best In this
town.
When we take on those Hearts in
a home and home match,
Well just slap those upstairs right
down."
So they meet up at Chase's and low
and behold
The Sacred Hearts come out on
top.
'They were lucky this time" said
Culhane to Will Knight
"Next time Wen be too hot to
STOP"
For the c. L. & P. league give out
with cheer.
It's the best league around and
about,
When the next match is over have
never a fear
The Hearts will have found this
thing out.
In the Mattatuck alleys the second
match starts,
The G. L. & p. goes to town.
When the first game is over and
scores figured out
The Hearts Club is many pins
down.
But the Hearts come back strong
when the second games done.
The Hearts are ahead by four pins
And Dillon speaks up and says,
Lets get tough
Twill be bad If this S. H. club
wins"
But the Hearts are too strong and
they take the last game.
Mary Sweeney speaks UP and says
then,
Mary Sweeney speaks up and says
then,
These c. L. g. p. mugs are dead
and inferred,
'Requiescant in Pace-Amen".
After the match Art Blum wanted
to know which was the best mixed
league In town.
In behalf of her club, Peg Howard
Immediately challenged the G. L.
& p. league to a ping pong match.
Lefty offers his sincere condol-
ances to those who were the victims
Of this sad catastrophe. The Hearts
were too good.
Cheer up! Only three more days

 It reads like an autumnal night mare, but the Ferguson plan works The Bollweevils put on shows in seven states last year and gath cred reams of publicity. Inciden- tally they won one game-break- ing Ferguson's no-victory record.
 This fall the team plays in ten states. Ferguson said he had to re- fuse offers for 20 additional games. Two home games will remind the student body that football is on the sports curriculum.
 Ferguson turned down the coach- ing job four times He finally took over in 1888 with these provisions.

l. He was to accept no pay for coaching.
 2. lie was not to be required to win single game.
 3. He was to be permitted to coach any way he wished.
 With a student body counted by tens and no alumni money for football subsidies Ferguson couldn't think of playing pressure football. His squad of 30 is composed of lads from the surrounding towns and countryside-teen-age kids, husky farmers. bespectacled scnol- ars and even a minister All must pay their own tuition and must pass their subjects. (The squad of 1889 was above the student body average-with no failures)
 No Victories, But Nice Trips
 The coach decided that if his team couldn't win victories it could have nice road trips because schools seeking victories are glad to pay the freight for their Satur- day afternoon victims. Monticello is a willing sacrifice to the "do- or-die' tribes.
 The Bollweevils don't lay down before opponents. On the con- trary, they put on an amazing fight with an offense that's 80 per- cent passes. But
 We play for keeps explains Co-Captain Coy Brown, "only the other fella's been doin' the keep in"
 Ferguson said his no-tackling, no-blocking system last year vir- tually eliminated injuries.
 "A boy doesn't need to be taught to tackle, that comes nat ural,' Ferguson says. "As for blocking - the best way in the world to block is to step on the other guys toes"
 "On offense, the interference follows the ball carrier. When our ball carrier sees he can't go for ward, he laterals the ball to the next man. You haven't any block CTS that way, but you have mos ball carriers"
