Ray Ahearn, Bill Schandelmaier, Tony Lauro, Sklddo Dumschott and Johnnie Beck received a big hand from the crowd as they entered the banquet hall which was well (. served for their work ill the last weeks of the schedule in foilillg all the efforts of their opponents to knock them out of first place position which they had reached in the latter stage of the race by some fine bowling.
 Ole Martel lauded the work of the Bowling committee informing those present that although he was not a member of the committee, he was in a position to know of the great amount of time and attention re- quired to have a league of this size function to the satisfaction of all.

chance in thousand that the burly Maryland, colt will get up to the $1O0,O00 Santa Anita handicap and thereby adds four new gray hairs to the heads of all future book players. At the moment & race among the crippled eligibles for the Golden Gallop would be a meatier dish than the race which eventually will be run by theg sound contenders. Among the name horses who have been declared are Whichcee, Speci- fly, St. Andrews, Hunters Moon W, Kayak II, Gallahadion, Big Flash. Impound and Heelf1y. If Joe Louis continues his present bout-a- week schedule, within 10 years any man who can't tell his children he fought for the world heavyweight championship at least once will be social Outcast. ..
 The Alice Marble-Don Budge and Co. professional transforming tour is not doing nearly as much business as anticipated. The one sure fire way for the troupe to lure in the cash customers would be to match Alice against Bill Tilden in- stead of her usual feminine oppo- nents. .. A new high in race track alibis was reached at Santa Anita on Saturday when a jockey ex- planned that his 3-5 shot finished fourth because she was "Sulking". =. Getting back to tennis, my pet court reporter tells me that the sale of racquets has fallen of 40 per cent over 1889 in Southern Cali fornia and that if the decrease con- tinues it will be up to badminton to keep the sporting goods com- panieS solvent. There is appar- ently no reason for the slump ex- cept that there aren't enough gla- mour figures left in the game to stimulate the public.
 don't just know when the lad will begin receiving his proper amount of attention, but little Greg Rice is fast becoming one of the great runners of all time. :. His last effort at two miles was just a fifth of a second shy of being the fastest ever recorded and if the di- minutive Notre Dame lad continues to improve some smart promoter will get rich quick by signing him for 8 match race with Midland or Bimelech. A new sport locally is the racing or miniature automo- piles. /. The cars are only ~13 inches long yet they have been timed over 60 miles an hour on a Sauncer track. Each car runs separately and when all are through the one with the fastest time takes the pot. Some numbers cost as high as $175 apiece. ..
 One Man Show.
 Maybe Pat O'Brien can go to Bos- ton College. If he does, I've got a good sleeper bet for the Warner Brothers job. Age alone doesn't make Connie Mack the mar vel he is. Just name me one other man in baseball who is combined field manager, offlce manager, busi- ness manager, scout, coach, and owner. Mack is more of one- man show than Jimmy Savo. . For the 17th straight year the Pitts burgh Pirates are heading west and for the 17th straight year the ad- vance publicity is "all we need is just one more good pitcher" ;. |. And it is just as true now as it was in 1923. The Pirates have good field and good hit and with just one 15- game finger could send Larry Mo- Phail scurrying right back to his Angeles. Note to anybody where is my wrist watch? =.
