 The bill dropped out of the sky, so to speak. in the pos session of Pilot Tony Schwamm. Showing some of the boys how nice and crisp and new it was brought Tony a premium. It was the day before Christmas and immed- lately the bidders got busy with the avowed purpose of getting that hundred from the sky" for a devoted wife for Christmas.
 Last report was that Ar hold "Swede" Cremember when Petersburg had a real basketball team?) Wasyick had paid the top price. Just how much premium was paid was not revealed, but Pilot schwamm was rubbing more than five twenties to- getIrer when the transaction was completed

. MeKENNEY's BRIDGE QUIZ
Organized Units Teaching Blind to Play Bridge
By VIM. E. MCKINNEY Americas Card Authority

Today organized bridge is not merely pastime. Thousands of dol lars are raised annually for charity and some really fine work is done by bridge organizations.
 For instance. consider the activ- sty of Mrs. Elizabeth Banfield of New York. Three years ago I un- dertook to start an activity in diff ferent cities to teach the blind the game of bridge, and Mrs. Banf1eld took charge of the teaching in New York. She opened her season this year with eight tables of blind players.
 One member of her class is deaf, dumb and blind. and with the aid of someone who understands the deaf and dumb language by hand pressure, she is going to teach that young man how to play bridget Mrs. Banfield does this work without one cent of remuneration, and I am happy to say that this activity is going on in several other cities now.
 Mrs. Banfield, who Is a fine player as well as Q very capable teacher, 1s one of the few women whose name is engraved on the national contract tean-of-four trophy. To- days hand is one that I well re- member her playing in one of the national tournaments.

PRONE TO REST

PRONE TO REST
 Last night, reported a reader March 2, is the first night since last October that I have slept without waking from II to 7:30. It is the first night I have tried sleeping prone Got up feeling 16 and rested. Again March reported: Last night was my fourth night sleeping prone. It seems to be better remedy than any of the doctors prescriptions for Insomnia. For the first time I awak- ened in the night but just long enough to turn my twisted head on the other ear. I find a soft cloth such as single thickness of woolen scarf or the tail of sweater spread over the sheet under my head is more comfortable-lying on the hard sheet sometimes makes the rim of the ear sting. When my face is to the right I place the back of my left hand across the small of my back-just as a convenient place to put it. owe you my thanks for the suggestion of sleeping prone. (R. D. L.)
 Before we become confused it may be well to consult Webster-who says prone means lying with face and belly on a line with or upon the earth, floor or bed. Webster drags the face in just to be properly prud-
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-11-29

ish. Let vulgar OF Doc Brady say that as long as the belly is on the ground, floor or bed the face may be turned in any direction yet the posture or position is still prone. Ly- ing on the back is supine.
 It is all right to sleep with high pillow or several of them, or with a very thin pillow, or with none, if you like.
 It is all right to sleep heading north, south, east, west or in any intermediate direction.
 It is all right to have the head of the bed bit higher than the foot or vice versa, if you prefer it that way.
 It is as healthful for any one, even a person with heart disease, to sleep OH the right side os it is to sleep on the left side. Notions that the heart has more work to do when an individual lies on one side or the other are without foundation in anatomy or physiology.
 Sleep on mattress or springs as soft and flexible or as hard and un- yielding as you prefer.
 But beware Of sagging bed, springs or mattress. There is an astoniSh- ingly common and, as a rule, neg lected cause of restless sleep, to say nothing of backaches, lilac

HOUSEFROCK HAS NEW WAISTLINE
PATTERN z64

Keep those nome fires" burning a warm welcome-by looking your most charming self in this pretty frock. Claire Tilden has planned Pattern 264 with an eye both to be- coming appearance and minimum sewing effort. The entire front of the frock is cut in single piece, but the effect of a waistline dress is given by seams that slant in from the sides. A treatment that means less sewing work and quicker, easier ironing! The softness of the bodice is gathered-in above these side seams and held smooth at the shoulders by darts. Buttons add smart trim at both the shoulders and the waist. There's choice of long or short sleeves and there are two neckline versions: one w. shaped; the other a higher, squared V. Let colorful ric-rac edge the neck and the shorter sleeve version. You might take advantage of the few pattern parts necessary to make this frock and select a plaid or checked fabric-for the matching of the pieces will be very easy.

Cleveland West New,
By John Wolf

Cleveland, O.. March 21-Con-
gratulations New Castle on re-
tanning the basketball champion
ship. Congratulations also to East
for putting up good scrap to the
finish.
The New Castle scrubs set the
West scrubs back 2S-16 in the
preliminary game.
Thanks for the good meal and
music it was all done in cham
pionship fashion. 3
Yes, it was a perfect day until
some of the boys met up with the
law. All yes, the law. When one
meets up with the law one learns
how to say "Yes Sir" No Sir" or
do they: "Your darn right they
do!'
Tonight all singers are asked
to be present to decide an i'm
portant issue pertaining to the an
niversary.
In the last few years only three
or four clubs have entered the
annual T. s. ]. A, Track meet,
which is to be held at West this
year. West has Won just about
every year but one, maybe its
because there was not enough
competition. There are about
fourteen clubs in the association.
up till now only a few have re-
piled to invitations sent out, SO
the deadline for the meet has been
extended to April 5th. Why not
send a good team with lot of
supporters with them, and |
guarantee you, that you will have
the best time of your life at the
West Track Meet.
All clubs are invited to attend
the Cleveland West Madrigal
Singers first anniversary on May
4th. There will be dancing after
wards, so plan to attend and have
a good time.

1939-4O Basketball
Statistics
By Henry SCHNEIDER.

The l930-4O Basketball sea
son officially closed on March 2,
1910. Excluding the champion
ship playoffs, all games played
after that date have been consid-
cred as exhibition games. Any
records established in those
games will not be considered,
also individual or team points in
any games after March End are
not considered.
Highlights of the past season are
the following: Monaco scored
the most points in one game a
gainst Youngstown, totaling %
points. There were 4S field goals
and only ? fouls scored in this
game.
The highest number of individ-
ual points in one game. M. Full
Ter of Monaco, scoring % points.
This, incidentally. was not in the
game against Youngstown. These
points were scored against Lo-
rain, Is field goals and 3 fouls.
Two boys tied for second place
honors in the Individual points
for one game. G.. Miller of Can
ton and A. Weiss of Cleveland
West. Both boys scored % pts.
Weiss had Is field goals and 2
SiebenbuÌˆrgisch-Amerikanisches Volksblatt. [volume] (Cleveland, Ohio) 1917-1971, 1940-03-21

fouls. Miller scoring IL goals and
4 fouls.
Monaco scored the most points
for the entire season. The Blue
Devils had 323 points the first
half and 33S points the second
half. for a total of 6Ol points. 1t
IS interesting to note that Monaco
scored more points in either half
than one of the teams in the
League which finished with 254
points.
Not much can be said of the
Girls League due to the fact that
not all of the teams sent in their
scores. The Salem Girls were de-
clared champions, finishing the
season with no defeats. Salm de-
teated all opponents, including
Monaco and Youngstown twice.
Folloing are the Final Stand
ings of the Boys League and the
Top Five Teams in the scoring
honors for the entire season, also
the Ten High individuals who
lead the League in scoring.

age in their foul shooting the tale
that is being told would have
been different.
New Castle seemed to falter af-
ter their two mainstays G.. Bin
der and J.Greaf were elected from
the contest via the foul route. The
element of time saved the day for
them as this calamity took place
with only few minutes remain
ing.
High scoring honors went to
Gross of East who potted himself
IS points while followed closely
by Lang of Newcastle who garn-
cred IS. Faith of East was second
high man for East with II points.
To the victors we say Congra-
tulations and to the losers we can
only hope that they will try again
next year.
In the preliminary contest the
New Castle Jrs. defeated the
Cleveland West team by large
margin which made that night
one of complete victory for the
New Castle basketballers over
their Cleveland rivals.
This game showed some fine
material for the coming years and
a depressing aspect for the other
entries of the league for the
younger boys of Newcastle SEEM
ed to have almost as good a team
as the varsity group.
