NEW YORK, March 3.-The
Stanford Auditorium was a mad
house as the hands of the clock
swung into the closing seconds Of
a tense basket ball game.
The timer raised his gun,
paused momentarily and fired.
And down from the 'rafters
plummeted a dead duck!
OF all the funny things that
happened on basket ball courts

fancy of the Associated Press,

infielders was talking about Jimmy
today.
"You can't tell what a guy can do
of one game" he said, but if his
arm isn't at least so per cent better
than 1t was today you can forget
about Mr.. Pofahl as a shortstop be-
cause he won't be able to go to his
right at all. Not even if he hits $50
and stops every drive in his terri
tory"
The background of the Pofahl arm,
briefly, is this:
Jimmy slid back into first base
while playing in Minneapolis and
hurt his right wrist. While 1t was
healing, it seems, taxi in which he
was riding came to an abrupt stop,
and Jimmy was thrown against the
fuselage with a suddenness which
reinjured the arm.
No Recommendation by Cambria.
The question was put to Scout Joe
Cambria, who saw Pofahl before he
hurt his arm.
II seen him." admitted Mr.. Cam
bria, "and I didn't like his arm.
Then I heard his price and I wired
Griff that it wasn't no deal. Then
Grif sent Joe Engel to scout the
guy, so here he is. and me. I've got
my fingers crossed. He never was
much of thrower.'
Meanwhile, Jimmy Just plods
along and the way things look now
it may take a month for the brass
hats of the club to decide one way
or the other.
Up to now the apprehension has
started and stopped with Pofahl
Hudson looked good yesterday as he
held the Yannigans to one hit in
three innings. After Hudson came
Joe Krakauskas. who gave up an
other hit in three innings. Joe
Haynes finished the test and gave
up only meaningless base on balls.
What, No Alej Carrasquel?
The Regulars. led by Jimmy Blood
worth, collected IA hits and IL runs
against the Yannigans, who made
only two hits during the afternoon.
Bloodworth practically clinched the
second base job with a home run,
double. single and base on balls in
five trips to the plate. In addition,
Jimmy knocked over four runs and
scored three.
Today was to be a day dedicated
to the resting Of sore muscles, etc.
And tomorrow is to be featured by
light workout. On Sunday, when
the Giants invade, Hudson, Kra-
kauskas and Gehrman will be ready,
the Mats hope, to pitch.
The game yesterday was nothing
to dwell on. The regulars pounded
IA hits of Rene Monteagudo, Walter
Masterson and Bill Kennedy and
won the game pretty much as they
pleased despite the presence on the
coaching line of Grandpappy Clark
Griffith.
Only other news of interest was
the expected appearance today,

This makes up q fair country del

Feller and one or two other pitch
ers on hand, the going will be none
too soft.
Only air-tight pitching can save

Moss Attack Is PIonned
On Dominant Yankees
1t has been charged before by
more than few that too many
American rivals gave up all hope
in any Yankee series, saving their
better pitchers for other clubs IN
place of showing them into the
fiery furnace. This has happened
more than once in the general behe1
that it was useless to beat Joe
McCarthys club, no matter what
men you used.
If you listen to the general COM
ment it will be different this season.
Four pennants and four world
series in a row are bad enough Tor
the others, but here's also a nth
mopup in sight which seven A. l..
teams hope to suppress.
There is no such animal as a
euperman, nor is there any such
thing as complete invincibility.
There also is no use in being beaten
before a ball is thrown.
No one can keep a pennant spirit
flaming forever as the old urge be-
gins to fade and die from too much
success. This happened to the Cubs
of 1909 and the Athletics OF 1912
when both looked to be unbeatable
machines-good enough to win four
years out of five-but not good
enough for five in solid cluster.

Golfer Cont Force Come,
Demoret Contends

I can't recall Demaret playing
what looked to be tightened-up
shot. When he had an off-spell at
Phoenix, all he said was, Il can't
get the right feel today, so I'm not
bothering about it. That's one thing
in golf that you can't force. On any
given day you have it, or you don't
have it. That's all there is to it..
You can't help yourself by tichten-
ing up and trying to steer the ball.
Every golfer knows pretty well when
he's hot and when he isn't. There
isn't any use in burning yourself out
against the breaks or an of day."
There is one feature of Demaret's
swing that catches the eye-this is
the ease with which he plays every
type of stroke. There is no sign of
any wasted effort, no matter what
club he calls upon.
He plays each club for what it Is
worth on the easy side, something
a relaxed nature can take of under
pressure. Most OF the headliners
make the game look easy-but he
makes it look even easier, taken
week after week.

Tournament Disposition
Keeps Demoret Going

They still are talking about Jimmy
Demaret's feat in bagging five big
tournaments from one of the fastest
fields ever sent into action.
The pace is so smoking hot today
that it is difficult for even star
golfer to keep on edge through two
weeks. Demaret has been sharp for
two months, with little rest between
shows.
Golf is q game in which mental
attitude can change in a rush. And
1t largely is game of mental atti-
tude. In this respect Demaret car
ries you back to Horton Smiths
brilliant roundup over 10 years ago
when he swept the field week after
week with one of the greatest winter
and spring records ever set. The
Joplin kid at that time was one of
the most relaxed golfers ever saw.
Nothing seemed to worry him at
any time.
Jimmy Demaret is even more re-
laXed in his outlook on tournament
play. He has a golf swing as sound
as anything you'll look at for long
time, but golf is loaded with fine
swings. It's tournament disposition
that paves most of the way to a
winning march, the ability to con-
centrate at the right time without
getting tied into the lovers knots.

Overaddition to business is par
ticularly vicious because there is
an element of virtue associated
with work. In the United States,
especially, a high evaluation has
been placed ON work. Even when
work has killed men and broken
up happy homes, it has been prais-
ed.
Immersion in hectic forms of
recreation is even more deplora-
BILE than overimmersion in business.
So many forms of commercial
amusement are overstimulating
and useless.
So few tense people have taken
the time to learn the benefits that
can come from unexciting diver
siolls, such as reading, making
beautiful things. and enjoying the
out-of-doors.
1t is difficult to find the proper
proportion between purposeful work,
recreational diversions and COM
plete cessation of activity. But such
a proportion must be maintained
if health, vitality and composure
are not to be sacrificed.
There is no harm in hard work
or in strenuous play, if not carried
too far. We need vacations every
day, every week and every year.
What kind of vacation can we
get today? If our work demands
long hours of sitting still, we can
60 for a walk spend an hour or
so dancing, or play game of ten
mis-. If we have been on our feet
all day we can turn on the radio,
we can sit in the park for an hour
or so, or go Ito the club" if we
have a club.
How can we spend next week.
end to make a vacation out of
it? We can take the family on a
picnic. We can get into comforta-
BILE clothes and putter around in
the garden. We can spend whole
day getting acquainted with our
selves.
How should we spend our an
nual vacations, in getting refreshed
from the years work? For all OF
us, a vacation must provide a
change. City folks should seek the
country. Country folks should seek
the city. Manual laborers should
delve into intellectual stores. In
tellectual workers should dig into
real soil and test the strength OF
their bodies. Everyone should loll
around a great deal. and do nothing
on schedule or IN q hurry.

The average woman isn't always
pressed for time. q don't see why
those who are don't make an effort
to reorganize their lives to allow
for an occasional free, unrushed
hour.)
Now and then, when the average
woman does have an hour or two
to do exactly what she pleases, she
might 60 in for more elaborate
beauty routine than those quick. al
though efficient, ones which can be
managed in an average busy day.
RELAXATION
BOOSTS MORALE
For instance, she may take a
leisurely tub bath instead OF hur-
ried shower-making use OF some OF
the cooling, refreshing bath oils or
powders that have been on the shell
since last Christmas.
Among other routines that take
time, but which are fine for the
morale as well as the appearance,
are:
A hot oil manicure. Old polish Is
removed, the nails are filed, and
then they are soaked in a shallow
bowl of warm olive oil for fifteen
or twenty minutes. This softens dry
cuticle and tends to discourage brit
tleness in the nails themselves.
KEEP LOTIONS IN
INSTRUMENTATION
A cold facial. Face and throat are
washed with soap and tepid water.
Then rich night cream, which has
been in the ice box for a couple
of hours, is applied. For twenty
minutes, the cream stays on and
eyelids are covered with ice cold,
wet cotton pads that have been dip
ped in eye lotion. When the cream
is removed, face and throat are
patted with cold skin tonic.
incidentally, it's a good idea to
keep all of your creams and lotions
in the ice box during the summer
months. And make sure that the
supply includes bottle Of eye lotion
for eyelid pads as well as eye baths,
