C. L. P. Mixed
 Pin League

 Guest COlumnist

feel just a bit Self-conScioua about writing this, my first column Of course, outside of skiing and horseback riding, bowling is my fav- orite sport and our team is the best in the league although we are very unfortunate G'm kidding).
 The other night I was watching another mixed league in action and one of the girls had the cutest out fit. She wore light tan sweater, a brown skirt and cream ankle socks and bowling shoes. The others on her squad were somewhat perturbed because she boWled 67, but l thought she looked swell.
 find that there is very little similarity between bowling and horseback-riding. I have no diffi- culty whatsoever in making the horse go where want him to but to do the same with bowling ball is prac- tically impossible.
 On the other hand, there is great deal of similarity between bowling and skiing. Tn skiing the big idea is to slide down some hill. My bowl ing team has been sliding down hill ever since the league started.
 Some of my friends have asked me what I think of being called "R Bumpem". Frankly, can sec no req son for 1t. I think 1t entirely un- necessary. It is perfectly apparent that the "R" Is superflous.

BLOOMF|ELDERS SURPRISE RED DEVILS, 42-33
Zone Defense Stops West HavenerS Bristol
 Looks Good

The famed West Haven Red Devils of the State League, pre-tourney faVorites, ran into very formidable zone defense used by the Christ the King Church team of Bloomfield al Washington Park Community gym last night and were unable to pene- trate 1t very often with the result that they were eliminated from the Hill tournament, 42 to B, before a fair sized crowd who rooted them selves hoarsc in cheering for the well drilled Bloomfield youngsters
 The zouc defense of the church boys was just the thing to employ on such a small floor and the Shore men, at home on large courts. were very much at disadvantage despite their advantage in height. The up- staters grabbed an early lead and retained it throughout, the Devils never once taking the lead.
 Ferrie Does Little
 Freddie Ferrie, K. of L. star and recently voted the most valuable player in the State League, must have felt the tang of spring in his veins for the wiry Italian scoring sensation was held to two field goals a rare low total for this sharpshoot- ing forward The Bloomfield boys fought like demons and were on the ball every minute. Their passing was much better than the Devils and their shooting, topped by Smith and Butler who scored 10 points each, was much more effective than the State Leaguers.

me those two fellows form the best one-two in baseball. wouldn't swap them for anything ir the league"
 Four SIuggers
 The one-two punch holds true in the National League. The champion Cincinnati Reds and their sternest challengers, the Cardinals, have the toughest bing-bang combinations in the Ford Prick belt. The Reds can throw Frank Mccormick and Ival Goodman at opposing pitchers. And the Cards have Johnny Mize and Ducky Medwick, that is, if Medwick signs.
 And he is sure to. Speaking of Ducky Wucky, 1t will be he who will have to come to terms. Unpopular with the players (who think he cost them the pennant last year by loaf ing and unpopular with Manager Blades (who resents the things Med wick has said about him) and un- popular with owner Sam Breadon who thinks he is being showed around bit and held up, Joe prob- ably will have to capitulate or si: out the 1940 baseball dance.

Hogan, In Lead,
 Sets New Record

Pinehurst, N. C., March 21-(UP) Roasting a new national 36-hole championship golf record, Ben Ho- gan of White Plains, N. Y, showed his heels to the field by seven strokes with a two-day total of 133 as the North-South Open Golf tour- nament entered the final 36-holes today.
 Not content with tying the course record in the first round with 6 smoking 66, Hogan came back yes- terday with 67 on four brides and an Eagle to set @ new PGA record for 36 holes of competitive play.
 His nearest rivals, Sammy Snead and Johnny Revolta. were bracketed seven strokes behind and four un- der par while three men were tied at Al. They were Craig Wood, Bob Dunkelberger, High Point, N. O.. amateur, and Stan Horne of Mon- treal.
 Tournament Manager Fred Cor coran said the 36-hole total of 133 registered by Hogan, who has never won a major tournament, was not only a -,w record for the North South. but bettered the 135 set by Walter Hagen in the qualifying rounds of the PGA championship. Henry Cotton, the Britisher, shot a 132 back in 1883 in the British Open.

 But all of a sudden found my self lolling under palm tree with Moe Berg of the Boston Red Sox, one of the better minds. baseball or otherwise, in this country. And be- fore we quit lolling he had estab- lished definite relationship be- tween the two.
 He bound them together with the expression "one-two punch"
 There never was boxing cham pion who didn't have a one-tWo punch, Berg pointed out, and then continued to explain that the chief contention for the major league pennants this year would be made by teams with the same thing.
 Lets look at the American League" Berg said. Barring acci- dent the main contention will be between the Yankees and the Red Sox. Each of the clubs can throw a deadly one-two punch.

BRUINS BURNED
 SINCE 40 BLANK BY N. Y. RANGERS
Boston Club Favored To. night On H o m e Ice;
 Bruin Defense Weak
BY TOM NOONAN United Press Staff CorrespOndent)

United Press Staff COrrespOndent)
 Boston, March 21-(UP)-A some what bewildered band of Boston Bruins were set to match bumps and bruises with the New York Rangers tonight in the second game of their best-of-seven series to de- termine Stanley Cup finalist.
 The Bruins, famed in former years for their heavy-checking tac- tics, undoubtedly will return to those methods in an effort to halt the streamlined Rangers, who com- pletely outplayed them in winning the opener, 40, at New York Tues day night.
 Blame for the defeat seems to lie squarely on the broad-famed shoulders of the Bruin defensemen who were outskated and outsmart- ed by the speedy Ranger forwards.
 The Boston rear guard, minus the Veteran Eddie Shore and Jack Portland who played leading roles when the Bruins powered to the championship last season, left Soph- omore goalie Frank Brimsek with out protection on countless occa- sions. It was only superb net-tend- ing that kept the Rangers scorcless for 30 minutes.
 Bumpers De Luxe The aggressive Rangers, led by Art Coulter, never passed up an op- portunity to bump or check their arch rivals and seldom missed. The Boston defense faded back uncer- tainly and often covered careless ly.
 The offensive punch that was ap- parent when the Bruins scored ITO goals, third highest in history, dur ng their 48-game march to the Ma tional League title, also was lack ing.
 In fact the Kraut line of Milt Schmidt, Bobby Bauer and Woody Dumart, which snatched the three top positions in the race for scoring honors, not only failed to score but also was on the ice when the Rang CTS counted three of their four markers.
 Gold As Ice"
 To man the Bruins back up the explanation of Bauer who said the defeat was caused by "nothing more than the fact that the Rangers were hot and we were cold-colder than the ice we skated on." Back in Boston Garden where they lost only three of 24 games. the Bruins are favored to even the series. The Boston Club gained two wins and a tie in four meetings here with the Rangers.
 The third game of the series will be played here Sunday with the fourth at New York Tuesday. If other games are necessary they will be played at Boston, March 28, New York, March 30 and Boston March 31.
