New oYrk Oct.-Their miserable season finished. the New York Giants were told by Chillie Willie Terry to write their weights on slips Of paper an Ghand them to the boss.
 What the hell is he going to doP" asked Harry the Horse Danning. Sell Us by the pound?"
 Stopping Stanford in a deluge, Oregon State demonstrated that the old T model isn't built for mud.
 With Joe Louis out of action, James J, Johnston is directing the attacks of his big and little heavy weights against other Black Men aces summed by Lou Nova, Buddy Baer and other Morales.
 Ample Abe Simon, Jimmy Johns tons dreadnaught, tackles Lem Franklin ill Cleveland, Oct. 20. They say the match will do $30,000.
 Bob Pastor, the Old Boy Bandits little heavyweight, engages Booker eBckwith in Chicago, Nov. '. That one should gross $50o00. Beckwith is 8 preachers son who has more punch than his father ever put in a sermon.
 Jonston and his big and little heavyweights do all right giving Dark Desroyers something to do. Pastor collected $80,00O in two starts against Louis. Simon $9000 in one. Pastor twice kept profitable dates with Turkey Thompson, an- other Negro. in Hollywood. and then Simon obtained and kept an op- pointment with the Turkey fellow.
 Franklin and Simon--they sound like department store-have come quite 6 distance since Franklin won a six-round decision from the Rich mond Hill giant in Chicago in March. 1899.
 Franklin, a real good hitter, belt cd out Tony Musto in Cleveland the other night in less time than it takes to say "I'd like a Louis match" He'd like to go over Louis entire The m-of-Month Club list and if he disposes of simon. Louis will hear a demand for a chance from a member of his own race.

ITALIAN RECREATION BOWLING NOTES

The first round ends this Monday night with the best match of the year to be rolled if the Colgate team can muster Up enough nerve and Spunk to put in their appearance. The odds are 10 to 1 that more than half Of the team will be absent rather than suffer the humility which will be theirs if they do show up Dress suits with e cut-away coat, high hats, spatS, patent-leathered shoes will be in style for those at- tending this great bowling match. Colgate will lose three games to second place Fordham and as the results of losing three games will find themselves in the fifth position to start the second round.
 Many plans of attack are being pondered over by these two com betaes. Colgates best plan seems to be that of camoflague, pretending that they are bowlers, but 1t hap pens to be proven fact, everybody knows that there isn't 8 bowler on the team.
 In contrast, Fordham can boast to the skies of their good tone loyal teammates. "" (for victory) Gen. ova went sour for the last two weeks but has gone into intensive train ing for this particular match. He will demonstrate his newly devel- oped "cosmec" strike ball. "H. s." (for high scoreSl Latino, the grand father of the league who is showing the youngsters how, when and where and where to do 1t is almost willing to wager his last years woclen underwear on the outcome of the battle. IN. L." (never lose) Za1aca has been congesting magic pills all week. These pills are re- puted to deliver 2 spares and one strike per game. "A. w." (always victorious) Perrella is confident Monday night will be pay-nite for FOrdham because he figures 1t So-- inasnuch as there are many isms to bother Colgate-Nazism, Com munism, fascism and so forth there is one ism which will kill Col gate and that is the bowlism of Fordham. "w.W.W." (three wins) Lombardi, the old mainstay and only one Fordham can boast of, wants his team to disguise them selves as revenuers to throw score into Colgate but then he realizes that thoroughness, determination and tireless persistence will prove efiicient enough for Fordham to beat Colgate three games this Mon- day night.
 All in all, we expect to see the minds of the Colgate men deranged, their emaciated bodies 6 mass of rough scales and their swollen
 tongues garble their speech into mushmouthed patois.
 There vii be a grand celebration rendered to the victorious team (F0rdhaml at the club room after the match: all except Colgate will be welcome.
