Kennedy's
FOurGOalS
FaiItOWim
By NJ. F. DRUKENBROD

A likely means of breaking up
the monopoly of the Paris and
Windsor clubs in the Michigan
Ontario Hockey League has been
discovered at last.
All the other teams have TO do
is TO come up with a couple more
Sam Kennedys. Sounds simple
enough, doesn't it?
This solution came 10 light dur
ing last nights double-header at
Olympia while Paris and Windsor
were extending their strings to
eight and seven victories, respec-
lively.
Kennedy, 20-year-old puck
FOUNDER from Brantford, Ont, who
last season led all the scorers in
Canada with IS points, bagged
four goals for Mansfield last night.
NOT QUITE ENOUGH
Despite his stellar performance
Windsor won the game, Sd, but
the point is just imagine what
would have happened had his team
had another goal-getter like him.
Kenpedy, a Red Wing prospect,
in ringing up four goals. three of
them in the second period, tied
what is believed TO be an all-time
record for the league. Earlier in
the season Norval Fitzgerald of
Windsor got four while last years
champions were downing Akron.
+f2-5.
The Windsor line of Jack Smith,
Ching Johnson and Herb Jones
proved just a little bit too much
for Kennedy. 1t accounted for all
five of the Spitfires' goals. Smith
and johnson got two each. Jones
the other.
Kennedy got his last two goals
near the windup of the second PEI
Iriod. The third period was score
less.
PARIS BEATS AKRON
In the other game the first-place
Paris outfit downed Akron, which
has yet to win a game, al, despite
some mighty goal-minding by the
IOhioans Deacon Jones, who was
almost as big hero in the eyes
of the 5,249 fans as was young
Kennedy in the opening game. Joe
Levine got two goals for the win
lners. AL Chadwick and Bernie
Ruelle the others.
Only one penalty was called in

Tigers Willing
To Trade York
For Bob Doerr
Would Also Swap
Rudy for Joe Gordon
But Would Mccarthy
BY LEO MACDONELL

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Dec. 2.
The Boston Red Sox can have
Rudy York in a trade for Bobby
Doerr.
Or, if the Yankees want York
10 replace Johnny Sturm, who is
said TO be headed for the army,
Joe Mccarthy will have to come
across with Joe Gordon.
1t is doubtful. though, that Bos-
ton or New York would consider
parting with the two best second
basemen in the majors, so the
Tigers may have to look elsewhere
for a keystone sacker TO replace
Charley Gehringer.
There's still an outside chance
that the Tigers, Browns and Red
Sox or Yankees may negotiate a
three-cornered swap in which
York would go 10 the Sox or
Yanks via the Browns, although
Tom Yawkey rejected a recent
"feeler."
Yawkey was asked by a repre-
sentative of the Browns if he
would pay 100000 for York" if
the Browns could swing such a
deal.

MASCOTS OF MARINES

Mules and goats are the tradi-
tional mascots of the Army and
Navy, but bulldC rs are the choice
of the u. S. Marines.
Dogs of various breeds have Of
ten visited Marine Corps posts as
unlimited guests, only to remain as
favorites for the rest of their lives.
Official mascots have been either
presented as gifts to the sea sold
iers. or have been purchased. Such
mascots have record books" in
which entries are made of promo
lions, punishments, travels and
similar incidents. Thus far no de-
sertions have been recorded.
In recent years one OF several
mascots, named Jiggs, has been the
ranking mascot of the Corps. The
first Jiggs was purchased by the
Marines in 1922 and died i've years
later. Two other bulldogs mascots
of that name have since died and
the present holder of the title,
Jiggs ", is stationed at Quantico,
Va.
His brother, named James Jolly
Plum Duff and abbreviated by the
Marines to Duffy, is the ceigning
mascot of the Marines west coast
base at San Diego, Calf.
Several years ago the Royal
Marines of Great Britain presented
the u. S. Marines with Private
Pagett, one of the best bulldogs
bred in England.
In appreciation of this gift the
u. S. Marines donated a football
trophy to the British sea soldiers
and the winning of this cup is now
looked upon as a principal sporting
event of the Royal Marines.
