Big League Kegler Cautions
AGAINST Dash TO Foul Line

I find four steps in my ap-
proach make for better timing.
The ball is balanced in the
left hand and shifted to the
right with your weight on the
first step. The first step is short
while you thrust the ball down
and toward the pins.
Direction is always governed
by the 1-3 pocket.
On the second step, about
three-quarters normal stride,
bear to the left and let the ball
swing to a point slightly above
your shoulder and back with the
arm extended.
The third step is longer yet
as you start to bring the ball
straight down toward the pins,
with the last, or slide step, the
longest of the last four and
bringing you to within an inch
of the foul line.

SandIot Gridders
May Aid Pro Game

CHICAGO, Dec. II - (P) -
Semi pro and sandlot gridders
may provide an answer to pro-
fessional footballs warti m G
manpower problems in the opin-
ion of Commissioner E m e r
Layden.
Baseball builds up its talent
from the sandlot diamonds"
Layden declared. There is no
reason why professional football
couldn't find some diamonds in
the rough on the semi pro grid
irons"
Layden said in an interview
that he also b | e We d many
young coaches in small colleges
would be available for the pro
ranks next season. He said he
based this assumption on reports
h a t decreased enrollments
would force suspension of some
sports at many institutions.

Ceiling Sci

Insure Against
0verehorsins Of
Pin Enthusiasts

WASHINGTON, Dec. 17-(R
Price Administrator L eon
Henderson today ordered a gen.
eral cut in the cost of bowling
to the Is million Americans who
make it their regular or occa-
sional recreation.
He also fixed q ceiling on
charges for billiards and pool at
March, 1912 levels. Soldiers,
sailors and war workers by the
thousands play the games, Hen
derson said, and the price order
will insure they are not over.
charged for this recreation"
The bowling ceilings are bas-
ed on September, 194l, charges
plus an allowance for increases
in the cost of balls and pins and
in the pay of pin boys.
The legal maximum repre-
sents an average reduction over
the country of one cent for every
three games of League Bowling.
OPA said, and one-half cent a
game for open, or regular
bowling.
The highest price for league
charged in September, 1941, in
bowling shall be the highest
each price class, plus 10 cents in
the case of duck pins and candle
pins, and seven cents in the case
of the pins, for each group Of
three games.
For open bowling the ceiling
is fixed at the highest Septem-
Der, 1941, level, plus four cents
in the case of duck pins, and
three cents in the case of ten
pins, for each game.
Bowling alleys are required
to post their ceiling prices prom
inently, showing a complete list
of charges for the different
classes Of customer, such as
league, open, students, women,
service men, and so on.
September 1941. was chosen
as the ceiling date because 1t is
the month in which the league
bowling season generally opens.
The league contracts. signed be-
fore September, generally carry
through the season until its end
in June. Therefore the prices Of
September, 1941, in virtually all
cases were those in effect until
last June, taking in the month
of March, which is the normal
base month for the pricing Of
consumer services"

Baker Happy
in Coach Job

CLEVELAND, Dec. II - (R)
- Del Bal-er always said he pre-
ferred major league coaching
job to managership, and as
new coach of the Cleveland In
dams he should be sIpremely
happy.
Baker, 5O-year-old former De-
troit Tiger manager Who was
dismissed last month after IA
years in the Detroit organiza-
ton, was hired yc-terday to sue
coed Oscar Melill, as Tribe
coach under Lou ~oudreau, the
boy manager. Melillo is leaving
the game for bus ness.
Bakers new contract is for
one year at undisclosed terms.
Obviously his salary will be
be much smaller than the $20,-
900 he received from Detroit
last year and the $4,000 he
drew in 1910. But the hours are
better and there's quite a saving
in asririn, too.
The other Cleveland coach is
Burt Shotten, another veteran
baseball man, and h and Baker
undoubtedly will parade the
coaching lines while Boudreau
is handling the shortstop posi-
ton. This will give Baker am
pie opportunity to practice his
art of signal reading or pitch
stealing, particularly against
Cleveland's prime rival. the Tig-
ers.
Bakers pitch stealing became
so proficient a couple of sum-
mers ago against the Indians
that spcedballer Bob Teller was
provoked to warn the Tigers that
if the practice wasn't stopped
they will be picking baseballs
out of their ears"
Curiously, Baker .oes to the
club that gave Steve O'Neill,
Bakers successor at Detroit, his
first major league managerial
job. O'Neill bossed the Tribe
in 1896 and 1887.

All Ice Teams
Play Tonight
BY the Associated Press

All six teams in the National
Hockey League will swing into
action tonight, with the clubs in
the upper half of the standings
opposing those in the lower di-
vision in the first full Thurs
day program of the season.
At New York, the Boston
Bruins move in against the
Rangers, but neither team will
be able to improve its position
in the standings. The Bruins are
le a d n G the league by three
points, while the Rangers trail
the rest of the field by the same
number.
Likewise, the Toronto Maple
Leafs and the Chicago Black
Hawks, currently deadlocked in
S con d place, will have no
chance to overhaul the Bruins
although they take on oppo-
nents from the lower bracket.
The Maple Leafs will 60 to
Montreal to battle their tradi-
tional rivals, the Canadiens, and
the Black Hawks m n at
home to tangle with the Detroit
Red Wings in what might be
the closest scrap on the card.
The Red Wings are in fourth
place, only two points behind
Toronto and Chicago, and could
tie the Hawks by winning.
New York's Rangers, only
team to beat the Bruins in Bos-
tons last Ia starts, will be out
to halt another defeatless string
for the leaders, now totaling six
games. The Bruins have scored
ten victories, three of them over
the Rangers, along with five de-
featS and two ties.

A Big League Bowler, Too

Don't dash up to the foul
line. A normal pace, at almost
walking speed, gives you suffi-
cient momentum and permits
control of the ball.
Do not vary this speed. Adapt
yourself to it. Maintain the same
motion.

Roundup
BY HUGH FULLERTON, JR.

NEW YORK, Dec. II - Up
In keeping with that recently
revived idea of splitting the Ma
for baseball leagues into Eastern
and Western groups, this corner
offers a simple (and no cracks,
now) solution to the manpower
shortage in sports It's
merely to use fewer players on
q side. Before you start
gigglinR, remember that football
started out with Is men on a
side, eventually was reduced to
IL and they say this six-man
football played by schools that
can't muster full teams isn't bad
ut all. Hockey used to be a sew
en-man game and old-timers say
1t was improved by elimination
of the rover. Basketball
tried seven, eight and nine-man
teams before settling on five and
q few years ago Lacrosse teams
were whitfield from IL to 10 men
of course, there might be
q question as to how many fans
would shell out $3.50 to see six
man football or buck for base
ball without shortstops, but,
heck, amt this wartime!
Last weekend, Terry Reardon
played q professional hockey
game Saturday afternoon, an
amateur game that night and
another pro game Sunday.
And two of his appearances
were for Montreal clubs visiting
Boston although Terry is the
property of the Boston Bruins.
Explanation is that Terry
had been loaned" to the Canad-
lens because he couldn't get per-
mission to leave Canada.
Then, when he was about to en-
ter the Army, he was allowed a
final fink across the border
and to show his appreciation
asked PERMISSION to play with
the Montreal Army team against
the Boston Olympics.

The day before he fought Tami
Mauriello, Lou Nova was pro-
NOTED to first lieutenant in the

{: Ernie lombard of the Boston
Braves, who bagged the batting
title for the second time in his
career, finished with a $3.50
mark, 13 points less than the
championship pace of Brook
lyn's Pete Reiser in 1941.
Similarly, the st. Louis Card
inals, who had the best club av-
erage in the league, had TO be
content with 1858, four points
less than the Dodgers of the year
before.
1889 AVG. .272
In 1889 the Cardinals clouted
at .294 clip and the league av-
eraged .272. But the following
year the league dropped to .264
and the Pittsburgh Pirates, lead
ing batters as a club, averaged
.276.
The continued decline has be-
come such a problem that War
rem Giles, general manager of
the Cincinnati Reds, asked the
Major leagues at the recent
meetings in Chicago to provide
for the manufacture of livelier
ball. He didn't get an endorse
ment of his proposal, but he did
get named to a committee along
with Commissioner Lands and
William Harridge, president Of
the American League, to deter
mine the specifications for next
seasons official ball.
American League batting rec
ords have not yet been released,
but Giles said the combined av-
erage in the Junior circuit was
down % points in the last three
years.
This year only eight of the 70
batterS who got into rs or more
games succeeded in batting 300
or better. Besides lombard
they were Enos Country
Slaughter Of the Cardinals .318;
his rookie teammate, Stan Mu-
sial .3l5; Reiser $40; John Mize,
New York .305; and Stan Hack,
Chicago, Joe Medwick, Brook
lyn, and Lou Novikoff, Chicago,
each 300 In addition Harry
Walker of the Cardinals, who
appeared in IA games and was
bracketed by the League with
secondary players, hit .314.
LOMBARD BEST
lombard was given official
recognition as the batting cham
pion even though he went to bat
only 300 times in los games
The big catcher batted .342 Tor
489 times at bat in 129 games
to win the title and the leagues
most valuable player award in
1898 when he was with the Gin
Clnndtl heQS.
Slaughter, who had sol trips
to the plate in 152 games, had
the most hits, 1873, and led in
total bases with 292, in triples
with II and in singles with 1877.
Terminate Martin Marion was
tops in doubles with 38.
Mel OFT. player-manager Of
the New York Giants, led in
home runs with 30 and scored
the most runs, 118. 1t was his
ninth year of scoring more than
100 runs, his eighth collection OF
