In the days when music was in its

BEES AND SCRIBES
 OFF FOR TEXAS

Boston, Feb. 20-(UP)-An ad- vance guard of the Boston Bees was to leave by train late today on the 2120-mile trip to spring training headquarters at San Antonio, Tex, with President Bob Quinn remain ing here reportedly to complete ar- engagements for formation of a syndicate to purchase majority stock held by Owner c. F. Adams.
 Quinn, who originally planned to leave with the first contingent, said he was uncertain as to when he would start for Texas. Though Quinn declined to discuss the syn dicate, 1t was believed the principal problem was to secure sufficient members to meet the reported ask ing price of about $300,O00.
 Four players and eight newSmen made up the party under travelling secretary, George (Duffy) Lewis Players were pitchers Arthur John son, Ava Javery and George Bar nicle and catcher Stanley Andrews Expected to join enroute were Pitchers Joseph Rucidlo, Frank Lamanna, Tom Barley, Dick Brick son, Nick Strincevich and Al Pie chota and Catchers Masi, Ray Berres and Sigmund Broskie

PURPLE KNIGHTS
 FACEST. THOMAS 5

A capacity crowd Is expected to be on hand tonight at the Webster gym when the fast stepping st. Thomas Holy Name cagers seek to annev their fifth straight triumph at the expense of the highly-touted Naugatuck Purple Knights in what should be thrilling contest. The game is slated for 8:15 o'clock with Chick Carney as the eleventh man on the floor
 The Knights will throw their full strength on the floor in an effort to put an end to the Holy Manners victory streak This means that basketball fans of the North End will have a chance to get glimpse of Lefty" Farrar, former Naugy high luminary and Gene Cyplickh another crack cage performer who has carved quite a niche for him. self on the chalked surface. Also in addition to the two aforemen@ tioned players the Knights plan to show Loman Sterniak, Gair and their entire top notch club. In anf effort to stop the antict-i pated powerful Naugy offense Coach Joe Landolphi has been putting his practice sessions aoau-ndkfigureKof lads through strenuous defensive practice sessions and at press time the coach reported his charges were in tip-top shape and all set to again taste the fruits of victory. Landolph will start with his regular lineup which includes Herb Leese at the pivot post, Mike Lovallo and Paulie OLear at the guard berths while Danny Rosa adn Cal Stolfi will make up the forward wall.
 The St. Thomas JrS. are sched- uled to meet a strong opponent in the preliminary tilt which gets un- derway at 7:15 o'clock.

I don't know, Art, but I hope it will be soon. I'm all for it. We had so much fun last year that all sea- son long I've been looking forward to our meeting again. But whats with one thing and another, as all procrastinators say, we haven't gOt- zen around to 1t. It can't be this week or next, however, because a week from this Thursday at 6:3O sharp we are meeting the Bankers on the Elk's Alleys. | am pessimist- ically certain that the only contact any of us poor Mixed Leaguers will ever have with bankers will be con- fined to bowling alleys or other un- financial institutions. However, after this match the coast will be clear, so why not contact one Jonathan Q. Kearney, chairman of the social committee? And my one hope is that Mary Sweeney will not bowl as well this year as she did last.

lis The Best Syste,,

Every member Ot the MlXeQ Lea que has a voice in its management The league formulates its policies at meetings wherein any member has the right to express his opinion of proposed rules, and wherein lea. gue rules are decided by majority vote. A member may not agree with the decision of the majority but If he is unwilling to abide by it. es- pecially after he has been given chance to express his contrary opinions, then that member is a Sorehead and poor sport. No one has displayed any such evidence ot poor sportsmanship to date.
 I do not think that the schedule of prizes adopted at the meeting Monday night is logical. This scheA dule gives every team prize. from $500 a member for the winning team to $1.O0 member for the team i'm last place. It is usual to consider a prize as reward either for luck or ability. I am unable to discover any reason for rewarding either the better-than-average abi- lity or extreme good luck which en- abled a team to finish in last place, Furthermore, any competitive group in which all members receive prizes Is apt to give the impression that no member of the group can lose gracefully.
 The meeting Monday night was typical of all such meetings:
 About. 90 percent of the discus sion was irrelevant, and the meet ing lasted about five times as long as 1t should have for the business accomplished, President Pat Dwyer did as fine a job as I've ever seen of presiding at such a meeting and finer than most. but in spite of this the meeting was a shambles.

First place is developing into quite @ race between Cornell and Holy Cross with Fordham and Purdue close behind. But the greatest in- terest and attention is being demon- strated between that great, close battle for last place between Duke and Colgate. Goofy coincidence that the two top teams are seporated by one game and even so with the two bottom teams. Temple and Pitts burgh. also separated by one game are caught in the middle of the league standing and for everyone's information, nobody careS what happens to them or what they do.
 '.Popeye" Spadola will put himself on the spot as this weeks ghost writer. He hsa decided to tear apart, condemn. criticize, analyze and black ball the bowlerS of Class 3. Somehow or other. his secretary at the Redwood Furniture Company dug up some oddities and peculiari- ties connected with these men. 'Knockneed" B. Conte wanted to prove himself problem which had bothered him a long while. He cer- taialy found the solution, which cost him 8 lot of cabbage.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-02-20

at lenRLu LO llle cl1SCI tLldb DC1O . anything else was voted on, it should be decided how much the league was to pay for dinners at the ball. quet.
 It was then voted that the ban quet would be closed to all but league members as was the case last year, but anyone who had bOwled with the league for any length of time would be considered member. The next question brought up was whether or not late entrants into the league would be required to pay the difference between their cOntri- button to the treasury of the league and the cost of the banquet; al- though the president had previously stated that he had told these late entrants they would, and all had come into the league fully satisfied with that arrangement. ,. .. :. ..
 During the discussion on this question it was pointed out:
 A. That there is a Lama in the mountains of Tibet who can wiggle both ears, balance broomstick on the end of his tongue and at the same time whistle a tune called "The Joss House Jive".
 B. That bird in the hand gath CTS no moss.
 c. That whereas it is hot in Flor ida and cold in Connecticut during the winter, 1t is hot in Florida and hot in Connecticut during the sum- mer.
 No one, however, bothered to point out:
 A. That the latest entrants into the league would bowl at least seven weeks.
 B. That the weekly contribution to the treasury of the league Is 15 cents.
 D. 7x15 equals $1.O5.
 E. The cost of banquet meal would be $1.5O.
 F. $1.O5 from $1.5O leaves $.45.
 G. Under the adopted schedule of prizes he the latest entrants would receive at least $1.OO 'prize" money.
 H. That the worst that could hap pen to him under the presidents arrangement would be to end up $.55 ahead.
 If anyone concludes from the foregoing that I am advocating some other system for the manage n1ent of The Mixed League, then he is in error. All am saying is that the meetings should be better. To make them so it is necessary only to listen to what is going no and to confine ones remarks to the subject under discussion. Since every member of the league Is a part owner of the treasury he should have some voice in league management. If he is not interest ed enough to avail himself of this opportunity, then of course he has no right to criticize those who do.
 With Mondays meeting still fresh In their minds, some have suggest ed that more would be accomplish ed if the league appointed a com mittee to govern. My own objection to this is that some clever manipu- lator might sway 2 committee to his own way of thinking where 1t would be impossible for him to control . larger group. Our present system of management may be unwieIdy but it's fair. and I hope that as long as there is Mixed League 1t VIII be run as 1t is now.
