OUR LADY OF

 The interior trim is of imitation Briar-Hill sandstone and all wood work is chestnut.
 Although the marbles for the al- tars, altar-rail, pulpit and statues are still in Italy, due to the war, the beauty of the temporary main altar captures attention immediate ly upon entering the nave. An in- teresting feature is found in the beautiful Stations of the Cross that set like cameos in the pilasters. The stained glass windows by Os- car Zettler's Studio of New York, are adapted to the architecture of the church.
 The upper nave windows contain figures of saints most venertated by the parishioners: St. Michael, St. Raphael, St. Donatus, St. Helen, St. Koch, St. Philomena, St. John the Baptist, St. Ann, St. Francis of Assist, St. Catherine, St. Isaac Jogues and St. John Bosco. The choir window contains figures of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, St. Si- mon Stock and St. Theresa of Li- sioux.
 Magnificent Window
 The magnificent north transcept window portrays the Blessed Vir- gin Mary, Queen of Heaven and Earth, St. Lucy and St. Felicitas, while the equally beautiful south transcept window contains majes- tic figures of Christ the King, St. Peter and St. Paul. The lower nave windows portray the Joyful and Glorious Mysteries of the Ro- sary.
 The hand-carved confessionals, pews and yestment case are the work of the Svoboda craftsmen. The tester, dossal and temporary altar with all its appurtenances together with the sanctuary lamp, sedilia and votive stands are the works of Martin G. Coleman, K. s. G. of Jamaica, N. Y.
 In every detail all concerned with the building and furnishing of the church strove to produce a real Roman church, and students of Roman archetecticure, who have viewed the finished edifice, agree that success has crowned their ef- forts.

 Incendiary bombs set fire to an- other hospital two blocks away, but that fire was quickly brought under control.
 A hotel and many stores and homes were damaged in one district and windows were blown out over a wide area.

 That's the war cry echoing in London's crowded air raid shelters,
 Londoners think that in one of their raids on Naples a Royal Air Corps pilott could fly over Vesuvius and drop a 50o-pound bomb or two into the crater.
 Nobody knows what would hap pen, but the geenral opinion of Lon- doners is that the bombs would start something" that would make the residents o fNaples, in the sha- dow of the great lava erupter, sorry they ever got into the war.

Associated Press Sports Writer.

TAMPA, Fla, Feb. 17.-Bucky
Walters, who strictly is sweating
in the Baseball Players Golf Tour
nament since he shot a 10 on the
first hole of his qualifying round,
wouldn't be much surprised If the
new pitching rule should help the
Cincinnati Reds.
The changed regulation gives
hurlers more leeway with the back
foot.
Baseball's most valuable player
last year said he doubted that the
new rule would help him much,
but he recalled that his pitching
mate, Johnny Wander Nicer, was
plagued by umpires early last
season. Johnny, he said, was called
down repeatedly for Judging with
his back foot. Walters thought
this might have accounted some
what for the poor season Wander
Nicer had.
Johnny's Great Season Recalled.
The new rule will permit Wander
Nicer to step back as far as he
wishes with his off-foot. If this
should make Johnny the pitcher
again that he was two seasons
ago, as Walters suspects that it
will, the st. Louis Cardinals will

matches here last night to the Con-

intercity series, a prelude to the
Eastern Sweepstakes in which 60
or more of the country's leading

tonight.
The Blue Ribbons, paced by Clay

score Of 1924 to win by a margin
of 80 pins. Hokie Smith was the
Districts high shooter with 402.
Smith, 1887 winner of the Eastern,
paired with Astor Clarke to win the
doubles, 757 to 735, from Mike
Bogino and Bill Tato. Smith shot
397 and Clarke $780,. Nick Tronsky
capped the Blue Ribbon victory with

Topnotch Golf Pros

Plans are in the making at East

the National League champions.
After all, Wander Nicer pitched
two successive no-hit, no-run games
in 1898, and the Reds also have
Walters and Paul Derringer. Der
ringer, like Walters, doesn't think
the new pitching regulation will
help him much. They have done
well enough without any help from
the regulations, but they would
love to have the sensational Wander
Nicer of two years ago in there
helping them.
Sure, I think well beat out the
Cardinals" said Walters. "Why
shouldn't we?"
Paul Waner thinks he understands
why the owners are giving this new
advantage to the pitchers. The
Pittsburgh petrol says that If the
pitchers get back on top there will
be many fewer star hitters to be
paid extravagant salaries, and that
the owners will benefit. Accord
ingly, Paul thinks it's plot.

Because, in the words of Woodrow

SERIES" close followers of the schol-
astics today foresaw anything from
a four-way tie for second place to
the outright selection of the quartet
of playoff teams when the curtain is
rung down on the regular schedule
next Tuesday.
The only thing certain about the
situation today was that Wilson,
Central and Western are-like unde-
feated Roosevelt-assured of being
considered for playoff berths, no
matter what happens in the final
two series games three days hence.
Should Central and Wilson emerge
victorious over Tech and Eastern,
respectively, the issue would be set
tied, with the playoff teams being
Roosevelt, Wilson, Central and
Western.
But those who dote on playoffs to
reach the playoffs envisioned further
complications as underdogs still are
in the fight to become eligible for
The Star tournament next month as
well as gain the interhigh cham
pionship round. Should Eastern
upset Wilson on Tuesday, then Will

A couple OF weeks ago the goal
guarding knowledge of stubby Les
Colvin apparently could have been
inscribed on special delivery
stamp. Maybe even now he could
write thesis on the subject on the
back of a beer bottle label or a rea-
sonable facsimile, but followers of
the Washington Eagles ice hockey
team prefer to feel otherwise.
Four games ago Coach Redvers
Mackenzie inserted Colvin in the
Eagles lineup in q desperate at
tempt to snap the local puck chasers
out Of slide that was beginning to
resemble the Lake Placid bobsled
chute. Since that time, to his relief,
the Eagles haven't dropped a de-
cision. In fact, they've won four of
'em and have re-estabhshed them
selves as tepid threats in the East

the net-tending duties of Gordon
Lee, but he would have ranked I'm

and Washington owns a four game

or athletes foot.
Colvin was downright brilliant
last night at Riverside Stadium as
the Eagles walloped the Jersey
Skeetefs, 80. Les caught a shut

Eagles relaxed after manufacturing
