Off The Chest
1t has taken a long time for
this to come to a boil. That is
no doubt because of our own dull
ness.
For years we've wandered "a
round Ell Centro, along with a
good many hundred of other folk,
without benefit of good street signs.
Only today when we noticed nice
red paint being smeared on curb
ingS did it occur to us that some
of that wouldn't hurt the street
names a bit.
Once you get the streets identi-
fled and memorized it's all well
and good, but if the street names
are obliterated by dust or neglect
it is a bit rough on semi-strangers
to even identify the streets to
begin with.
We know, almost as we'll as men,
bers of the official family how many
other far more pressing problems
the city faces. But on the other
hand, it's a comparatively small
job and would be a great conven-
ience.
And, before we pass on to more
frivilous matters, we might point out
that SandalWood and Len Rey
aren't the only streets in the city
There are a number of others and
several on the north side of town
that have scarcely any names at
all painted upon the curbs.

Ell PASO, Tex, Jan. IL saw
Ferdinand die today. Unwilling to
give up his lazy existence, Ferdi-
nand choked out his life on the dirty
floor of dirty little bull ring in
Juarez. 1t took three stabs from
the lengthy blade of the matador
and two swords to kill Ferdinand,
for Ferdinand was genuine. He
wouldn't play. All he wanted was
the pretty flowers. The senoritas
were not pretty.
The most disgusting, degrading
exhibition of sheer brutality I have
seen robbed Ferdinand of his life.
He didn't want to die. He didn't
want even to charge the crimson
capes the banderillos flung at him in
the tawdry little bull ring of Juarez.
They couldn't make Ferdinand
charge, even though six cruel barbs
hung from his bloody shoulders.
No picadors riding crow-bait
horses helped Ferdinand die, the
poor fellow went out alone. Perhaps
the attendance was not worth risk
ing the lives of the sorry animals,
for Ferdinand was well equipped
with a wide-spreading set of horns.
They had only banderillos, nimble-
footed Mexicans who hung the
barbed shafts on Ferdinand's shoul-
ders and jumped aside. But they
didn't have to jump, Ferdinand
wouldn't have hurt them.
He Stood there in the center of
the dirty little ring. all alone. The
brave matador, shielding his long
sword under a cape, approached
him. 1t took no skill and there was
no risk as the matador drove the
sword feet between the shoulders
into Ferdinand. Only the grip and
inches of the blade stood out as
Ferdinand bled internally, totter-
ing on shaking legs, and not even
tossing a horn as the provoking
banderillos approached him. Again
the matador struck and again he
missed. Finally he killed Ferdinand
with neck thrust that severed the
spinal column. And Ferdinand
went out. dragged 1T the heels Of .

While tournament officials busted
themselves making final checks on
all scores, 63 boWlers-38 men and
Is women, nearly twice as many as
last year-today were ready to cut
a luscious $1,000 prize melon into
bits for their winning efforts in the
mammoth 18th annual Evening Star
Yuletide Tournament.
The biggest duckpin event in the
history of the game, the national
record field of 11,76O league rollers
who competed served to give for the
first time fairly true line on some
questions that heretofore had been
answered merely by guesses.
Here's some of them:
Washington bowling business still
has way to go before reaching the
81 900 900 class, as generally believed.
This is revealed by the fact that
league rollers spend an estimated
sum of $500 900 season. This figure
is based on a round number of
10000 boWlers, since some 500 or 600
failed to compete in The Star
tournament.
OF this amount the bowling alley
Golfers take in approximately $780,
0O0 The balance finds its way back
to the bowler through prize money
awards
These figures also represent a
total of one-third more in revenue
from boWlerS who roll in one or
more leagues.
Only a sum Of approximately
S2l6,000 would be crossed by the
alleys if bowlers confined their
efforts to one league.
Smith First Scratch Winner.
Hokie Smith. the new star tour
nament champion, is the first to win
the title from scratch. His winning
score of 760 cracked the former all
time high of TOT rolled last season
by Joe Harrison in the qualification
round and Rosslyn's Billy Stalcup's S
7O8 in the final.
Jack Simmons of the Navy De-
partment Mixed Doubles League is
the new recordholder for high
scratch set in the qualification
round with 730 at the Arcadia. Har-
risons mark was topped three times
as Julius Singer shot ITO from
scratch in a gallant effort to retain
his championship. Smith was the
only District League bowler to take
the pay-off line.
Singer, Immediately after his great
splash at Convention Hall, skipped
off to roll his first match in the all
star circuit this season. It was his
triple-header strike that paved the
way for Columbus to win its only
game from the pace-setting Ross
lyns at Columbia. Singers 23-pin
handicap was the lowest among the
prize winners. Frank Mischou was
second lowest with 27. The star

Victorious over the Jersey Reds,

the Brewers now are hot on the
neck of the leagueleading Phila-
delphia Sphas, chiefly due to. the
consistent performances of tower
ing Mike Bloom, 6-foot 6-inch CEN
ter who never was intended to be
a member of the Heurich outfit.
Seen as Trading Bait
Acquired by the Brewers from
the Sphas early this year in an out
right purchase, Bloom was intended
for trading bait in deal which
would have brought the Brewers

Jewels That deal collapsed when
the Jewels refused to surrender Pei
kington, but Blooms brilliant play

A polished player with Temple
University, Bloom has developed
into a consistently fine pro scorer
and also is invaluable under both
offensive and defensive backboaros.
Against the Reds, for instance, he
sparked the Brewers with 10 points
and limited a trio of pivot opponents
to a total of two points.

substituted at the end of the reg

The Rovers already had captured
the Hershey Cup before facing the
Eagles in the final game of that

of the schedule. The league title
is awarded the team having the

entire season. with two points being
given for a win and one point for
a tie.

Wide Open Game Due
In TussIe at Miomi

The most thrilling game of the
lot should be Georgia Tech against
Missouri. This should be the game
Of action-Paul Christman pitching
against Georgia Techs battling Of
fense-all wide open-more offense
than defense
I think Georgia Tech has the
better defense-just as good an Of
fense-so Ill have to string with
Bill AleXander's Ramblin' Wrecks.
More than one expert has rated
me in the gooty class for picking
Clemson over Boston College. That
rating may be correct. For Boston
College is another power outfit, on
a par with any one.
But I rate Clemson well above the
ranking it has drawn. Clemson is
just about as good as any team
you'll read about. 1t lacks B. C.s
power, but it has more smartness.
This should be another thriller.
In the way of thrills and throbs my
guess would be that the Orange and
Cotton Bowls will have the call.
There is too much defense in the
corrals of the Rose and Sugar Bowls
for any wild party.
At least that happens to be the
way all the advance figures add up.
