West Sides, K. OIL. Shapes Up As sNaturaL'
Kelly Stars In K. ofL. Victory
 Over KIowns

The famed spirit of Notre Dame was in evidence Saturday night as the K. of L. cagers, given a shot in the arm by the 25-point perform ance of John Kelly, captain of the 1889 Irish grid forces, who had joined the club only a few hours earlier, gained 52-48 victory in a scorclling battle of points with the travelling Canadian Klowns.
 Kelly, now coaching basketball and football at New Milford's Canterbury school, was secured late Saturday af- ternoon by Mgr. John Stankus, who was determined to put an end tc the series of setbacks which his charges had run into.
 All MT. Kelly did Saturday night was to toss in 10 baskets and five fouls to come within three points of the St. Joseph's nall record of 28 set only week ago by Tony Happen of the Maspeth Transf1gurations.
 Even At Half
 The d-shouldered, handsome Celt scored 10 points in the first had to enable the Knights to reach the intermission tied at 21-an and he opened the third period with three straight baskets, going on to pile ur Is points in the last two periods and lead them out of the doldrums which had overtaken them this season.
 Showing remarkable ability to cage sensational one-hand as well as set shots, Kelly took the crowd by storm, giving them a passing and floor exhibition as well.
 He received able assistance from Joe Boley, who bagged nine points, Freddie Ferrie and Joe Joyce, who shared six each, and Joe Swasey and Frank Saldukas, who combined for three points in the last two minutes to shoot the Liths into their safe margin of four points.
 The Klowns' Jim McNally and Pete Petropoulos pooled their efforts for g points and some slick floor work to enliven the evening.
 With the Brooklyn, N. Y. colored Flashes, who beat the Knights by a point two years ago, coming up next Sunday, Coach Ray Daly has called a workout for o'clock Wednesday evening.
 Saturdays preliminary resulted in 32-23 victory for St. Joseph's Holy Name over the Brooklyn Texans, who buckled after leading 15-13 at the half.

Tiiumana, Mex, Jan. 13-(UP)- This is the home of the Agua Cali ente race track, and you can get more action here with a $2 bill than a kitten in yarn factory.
 The horses run but once a week, on Sunday, but you can make more different kinds of bets on this one day than you could at any other track in a. year. The operators ot Auga Caliente don't hand you that eye-wash about the improvement ot the breed. They are frankly out for the improvement of the bettor. They have provided every known means for wagering on the through bred, and to make sure that the bett.rs have time to make the rounds, they sometimes run as many as 16 races, starting in the morn ing and running throughout the afternoon after a brief pauce for lunch.
 Agua Caliente has the regular parimutuels, to start with. II you are one of those horse players who object to the public making your odds, the bookies are right there Ill the palatial public rooms to serve YOU. All sorts of bookies, too. Be- sides the regular books, Agua Cali ente furnishes foreign books, future books. combination Or parlay books, and books that will accept wages on fourth place horses. This latter department is a boon to those strug- gling amateur handicappers who aren't able to choose steed with speed enough to finish one-two- three.
 The foreign books handle bets on horses running at any of the American tracks. You can figure out something good at Hialeah or Santa Anita and your wager will be gladly accepted.
 Howard Likes Midland
 The future book is one of the biggest in the country, and right now its operators are concerned wltn the coming Santa Anita $100,OOO handicap. Just for your information, Charley Howard is playing Midland, and heavy, and has yet to get any thing down on his Kayak II. Around here the feeling is that Howard may shoot with Midland in the 41O0.OOo event and ship Kayak to Florida for a shot at the widener stake.
 The combination books handle any and all parlays. No one mas vet figured out a combination pet they won't handle.
 Augua Caliente features the Daily Double and the Quinella. The double involves the winner of the first and third races, and the Quinella provides a medium for attempting to pick the first and second horses to cross the finish line in the ninth race.
 ,Caliente also has big prize con- fest each Sunday. Before the races start the customers mark their pro grams and anyone picking seven winners. third to ninth inclusive gets $1 900 cash. If no one DICKS seven winners, $500 is given away at a drawing after the last race, nao $500 is put into a kitty that is al- lowed to sweeten until it riches "A m.
