Perfect SoftbuII
Game Is Pitched

There have been innumerable
no-hit. no-run games in local
softball competition, but Harold
Steffes, veteran twirler, today Is
the proud possessor of the no
hitter to end all no-hitters.
He pitched a perfect game last
night as his Fat Boy mates nosed
out Garvin's Grill. 10, in a Ma
tional Night League game, strik-
ing out 13 batters.
Phil Fox gave up only two hits
for the losers, but both came in
the third and, with an error
sandWiched in between, ac-
counted for the winning run.
Steffes, incidentally, led off the
inning with a single and scored
on CookSey's hit.

Miller Likely Referee

1t. Col Harvey L. (Heine) Miller,
secretary of the District Boxing
Commission on leave of absence
from his tour of duty with the feet

in the ring Monday night when
joey Archibald and Harry Jeffra go
to bat at Griffith Stadium in a
15-round bout for the featherWeight
championship.
A request for Miller has been filed
with the commission by the Right
Hon. Macmillan Mushmouth Wax
man, agent for and principal stock
holder in Jeffra, Baltimore's stand
ing army in the featherweight field.
Waxman filled out his ballot with
a few well chosen words which added
up to something like I'VE want a
square deal once in Washington
and the colonel is the man to give
it to US"
The colonel, who has been third
man in more than one epic mitten
duel, is non-committal on the sub
ject. but it is significant that he'll
be here until Tuesday and there is
no regulation in the service code
prohibiting him from accepting the
role If he is acceptable to Waxman
that makes the choice practically
unanimous for Miller is ace high in
the Archibald camp.
"All I want" piped up Archibald,
"is a referee who can count up to

By the Associated Press.

PITTSBURGH, May 8.-The dy-
nasty of the Warmers with the
Pittsburgh Pirates is at end after
IS years in which two small but
sure-hitting Oklahoma boys en-
shrined themselves in baseball as
the games greatest brother act.
Besides losing, rs, to the Braves
at Boston yesterday, the Pirates
gave up Lloyd Waner in an even

who won four and lost eight last
year. 1t was another step in the
Bucs' campaign to build up pitch

But Lloyd fooled 'em. On the ad-

the number of singles. His lifetime

The Waners hold the highest

After more than a decade of
effort Hokie Smith of Lucky Strike
today rejoiced in holding the cham
pionship of the Mems District
League for the first time, with an
average of 128-47.
His triumph last night at the
Lucky Strike marked one of the
most hectic battles ever Waged for
supremacy in the city's fastest duck
pin circuit. Leading Astor Clarke,
the defending champion, by 29 pins
as they went into the final night of
a 99game season schedule, Smith
fired 128 as starter. His second
count was 1856.
At the same time Clarke gained
a four pin lead with strings of 127
and l72 But for once the redoubt-
able Clarke failed to follow up what
appeared to be knockout punch as
Smith fired 1873 in his final against
Astor's l18. Clarke, with AIS
against Smiths 402, cut Hokie's
margin to 16 pins. Clarke's average
was 1881.
Winning a lone game from Brook
land Recreation as Dave Burrows
153 led in a game count of 662, the
Lucky Strikes won the pennant by
a three-game margin over Arcadia

from Penn Recreation.

Travis is the reason at least four
Mats have pledged to Wreak revenge

arises. They didn't like it the other
day when the Indians Roy Wealth
erly slid high into Travis at second
base, cutting finger on Cecils
throwing hand. They didn't like it
and they're saying they'll do some
thing about 1t when the chance Is
presented.
Cecil is no "holler" guy. He SIM
ply does his best in a quiet, manner
" fashion. He's a fighter-not with
his fists but with his heart. He is
one of baseball's unique characters
In that his disposition remains the

Of a slump than any hitter in base
ball because one bad day. or series
Of bad days, doesn't prey on his
mind.

an occasional movie with his IN
separable companion, Buddy Lewis.
He doesn't drink, smoke, chew or
swear. He is the only member of
the club that doesn't participate
In some sort of card game on train
jumps between cities. You might
say he doesn't have much fun, but
he's satisfied.
He gets big bang out of spotting
an occasional pheasant or quail
from his Pullman perch. He'd be a
total flop at attempting to be a
city slicker, for he's a farmer at
heart. The nice thing about him is
that he has remained a farmer.
He doesn't give two hootS in hades
whether a reporter pans him un-
mercifully or praises him highly be-
cause he doesn't read the sports
pages. Cecil is friendly with all sports
reporters and, while he's no con-
versational cutie, he's never lodged
a direct question for the simple rea-
son he has nothing to hide.
Travis is fellow the Mats will
fight for, the same as Cecil is
scrapping for them now in his
own silent style with horribly hurt

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

If piece of soft clay is placed in

II the clay jar is heated enough, gas
will come out of the opening.
That fact was learned more than
200 years ago. We do not have
record of who found out about it
first. but book printed in 1927
describes it.
When the book was written, some
persons also knew that the gas from
coal would give light If set afire.
This knowledge was not put to work,
however, at that time.
A professor in a school at Louvain,
Belgium. seems to have been first to
use gas for lighting. His name was
Jan MinckelerS. and he fitted up a
gas light for his classrooms in the
year 1885.
Two years later, Lord Archibald
