Roundup
BY HUGH FULLERTON, JR.

Wide World Sports CoIumnist
NEW YORK, May ID - We
don't know much about the
pitching record of Corp. Tito
Torcoletti of Gunter Field, Ala,
but from the report forward by
Lieut.. Elmer Salter, we'll bet
Tito is a good ldier &.
Seems he used to pitch right
handed but decided he wasn't
getting enough work that way,
so he learned to pitch from the
wrong side, too Down at
Gunter Field, he works in the
outfield on his days off from
pitching and is a leading heavy
weight boxer Torcoletti S
only complaint about this pro-
gram is that he has to wear toe
plates on both shoes and the
shoes take a terrific beating
Here's the last word on
that Angott- Stolz scrap in the
Garden Friday, as delivered by
Tony Galento: THAT Angott is

KNOWS HIS WOMEN

SPOKANE, WASH.-Pvt. Le-
vi Statesman wrote his name
and address on slip of paper and
tossed it out the railroad car
window as the train passed
through a town.
Then he bet his pals some girl
would write him a letter.
Just as they began to rib him,
along came a letter and photo
graph from Laramie, Wyo., with
an invitation to call the next
time he was near there.

ToneIe Tonight

The first weeks schedule fore
shortened by rain, Twilight
Softball League members today
were hoping for five days of
clear skies and dry diamonds
and a chance for all teams to
swing into action.
Only eight teams, four in each
bracket of the League, played

ball fans are still awaiting a
chance to appraise several out
fits which look like pennant
contenders on paper. Six teams
have as yet to display their
wares and not all of the teams
will see action until the end of
the week. The Business Men will
be the last team to taste competi-
ton; they meet Bar SO, which
will be playing its third game,
on Friday.
GOOD GAME TONIGHT
Top game tonight is expected
to be between the Bar SO and
Merchants, both rated among the
toughest teams in the loop. The
pair have both wracked up vic
tories and will be battling to
maintain their 1000 records to-
night on the Covered Wagon
diamond at 6:45. o..
Meanwhile Covered Wagon
and Spruce Inn, will be meeting
in the same division, the Blue,
tonight, with the Trailers at
tempting to gain 500 mark and
Spruce Inn making its first
start, after having been rained
out on Friday. The Owls club, a
24-23 victim of M c. A. c. last
week, will give Nesbitt's its first

nothing. The city treasurer didn't
see anything Of either the 500

January TO August. In April there
was another meeting in the
mayors office which wasn't even
particularly pleasant.
COUNCIL GROWS DEFIANT
A day or 50 later the councilmen
defiantly passed a new ordinance
demanding a four per cent Use tax
from the telephone company. add
ing that TO the street use tax.
There has been no argument
on that tax. The company has
paid it since April. but still hasn't
mentioned the other fees. though
IL is paying them in the other
two cities without protest.
The lines. Of course, stiIl
are ON the streets.
Collecting or not. the council
men haven't given up any one of

One Of them Is how 10 figure

On a mileage basis, he notes. Ia

siderably more than the city of

However the legal facts are
established. Carothers definitely Is
planning TO start collection action
within the next four weeks.
