| HOLYOKE EASY 1. FOR L|TH CLUB
Kelly, BOley, Ferrie Lead K. of L. to 59=50 Win;
 Drill Wednesday

Staging an offensive outburst with all their old-time fury, the K. of L. cagers blasted the Holyoke Hurricanes into one of the most de- cisive furnishings in the Bay State clubs history, 5s-30, Saturday night at St. Joseph's hall.
 These very same Hurricanes had whipped the Liths by IT points only a month before at Holyoke, but they were no match for the aroused Knights Saturday evening, the Brooklynites rolling up 24 baskets and making their third straight vic- tory the easiest of all.
 John Kelly, the old Notre Dame Kid himself, made it 62 points in three games with the Knights by bagging 20 poitns( seven hoops and six fouls, making seven points in each of the first two periods to en- able K. of L. to take a 32-17 lead at the hoilf. Three first period hoops by Freddie Ferrie, also his old self contributed to a 17-7 first quarter edge, while Joe Joyce and Ids Boley also helped in the second period barrage.
 Runaway
 Ferrie took charge with six points in the third period as the Liths scored nine straight points to close the stanZa with 41-19 edge. The best quarter for the Dalymen was the last when they continued to steamroller the becalmed Hurri- canes with an e8-point avalanche to complete a thorough rout of the enemy.
 The preliminary saw the St. Joseph's Holy Manners score IA points in each half to topple band of for mer St. Thomas secinary cagers, now at St. Mary's, of Baltimore, 28- 20, Adams and August pacing the Manners and Ray Guidone and Frank McKenna leading the losers

AMERICAN LOOP DRIVE MAY BE REAL SCRAMBLE
ConscriptiOn of Teller and Greenberg Makes Tigers,
 Indians Uncertain
BY PAUL SCHEFFELS

United Press Staff CorrespOndent)
 New York, Jan. 27 - (U.P) - What may well prove to be the most turbulent baseball race in American League history begins April IA when the New York Yankees invade Washington to play the Senators in the first game of teh 1941 schedule announced today.
 For the second time in baseball annals, war will have a decided ef- feet on the game itself. In 1918, ap- proximately 30 games were chopped from the schedule becouSe of the World War. This year the selective service act has listed among the ranks of possibley couscriptees sev- eral prominent baseball players, in- cluding Bobby Teller of Cleveland and Hank Greenberg of Detroit.
 The drafting of either or both thees stars for peacetime service would throw the entire eight teams into scramble for the flag won by Detroit last year.
 Nevertheless, the YankeeS-Sena- tors prologue will be followed by a full schedule on April 15. the Sem ators appearing in Boston, the Tigers meeting the Browns at St. Louis, the Chicago White Sox play ing the Indian sat Cleveland and the Philadelphia Athletics meeting the Yankees at New York.
 All Go
 On April 18, all of the clubs will swing into action for the concluding set of inaugurals with the Red Sox appearing in Philadelphia, the Browns in Chicago, the Indians in Detroit and the Yankees resuming at Washington.
 Washington joins the list of clubs sponsoring night ball to bring the 1941 total of arc-hght games to 35 In addition to the Senators, Chica- go, St. Louis, Cleveland and Phila- delphia will each play seven night games at home. Only clubs to frown on the nocturnal version are De- troit, New York and Boston. The first night games scheduled are for May g, with Washington appearing at Philadelphia and St. Louis at Cleveland.
 The American League will again have eight sets of intersectional sits with the eastern clubs moving into the west for the first meetings. The eastern teams invade the west for the first time on April 29 and the west returns the compliment on May 13.
 There will be a three-day inter- ruption for the all-star game at De- troit on July 8. No games have been scheduled for July and g.
 The season will close on Septem- Der 28.

Los Angeles, Jan 27-Coast base ball men agree the Chicago Cubs have something in the Lou-Lous- Novikoh and Stringer.
 Not a few consider Novikoff as fine a natural right-hand batter as Harry Heilmann.
 They will not be surprised if the 22-year-old Stringer chaseS Billy Herman off second base. Although he played shortstop alongside Gerry Priddy in high school, competent judges declare it would be a mistake to employ Stringer anywhere but at second base, and the youngster wants no part of the other side of the sack.
 His former schoolmate, Priddy, coming to the Yankees from Kansas City, is expected to make a third baSeman of Joe Gordon.
 Novikoff, a left fielder, is described as a smart screwban who considers it an accident any time he is put out
 The Mad Russian, who corrected tendency to swing at bad balls, is a real big league hitter. .swats the ball savagely and on a line. No more than a step can be taken by an infielder on any ball hit by him, which is what enables him to tack that 50 points on his average.
