The shadow of japanese con-
quest falls right across your spice
chest. Nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon,
allspice, pepper and curry come
from the southeastern Pacific.
Try growing a herb garden and
learn how to use old time recipes
that depended upon sage, thyme,
rosemary, anise, coriander, cumin,
fennel and marjoram for their
spiciness.

United Press Stan Correspondent
 New York, Jan. 8.-(UP)-Letters which are dashed of at odd mo- ments often prove to be unexpected ly expensive. particularly if they are read aloud in court, but harken to the tale of a letter which cost ESQ., 900 and maybe the all-time cham pionShip of the turf because il wasn't written-by MT. Wright.
 The MT. Wright who didn't write is Warren Wright of Calument Farm, the address he didn't write to Is Hialeah Park, and the infor- nation which he didn't jot down was the fact that he wished to nom- inate Whirlaway for the $5O,OOO Widener Cup to be run in Florida in March.
 The letter is one which may be engraved in turf history as the let ter which stopped the first great horse of the l94O's short of the worlds money winning record. Whirlaway can't run in California because the army has ruled racing out and he can't run in Florida be- cause his owner didn't rule him in. So he has nowhere to go and noth- ing to do until spring.
 Pays Out Plenty
 If anything that ever has hap pened in racing is ironical, this is 1t, because Warren Wright is famed on the turf as a man who gives his horses every chance. He nom- mates them for so many races every year that he pays as much in dues to secretaries of racetracks as Henry Ford does to secretaries of the United States treaeury.
 But it is a long, long way from Arcadia, Calif., to Coral Gables, Fla, so Warren Wright didn't bother to pay Whirlaway's way at Hialeah.

FARERS, CLOCKERS
 BLANK LEADERS
Metal Hose and ScOvill Pin Squads Lose All Three
 Games

Every dog has hls day, how the mighty have fallen, and the first shall be last, are a few of the truths that could very easily apply to the situation in the second division of the Industrial bowling league at the Mattatuck alleys. When the rolling was completed, the two top teams, Metal Hose and Scovill Manufacturing, were shut out vic- tins in all three games, Waterbury Clock doing a job on the league leaders, while Ben Farer's mighty men of News shut out Scovills like a blackout in Pittsburgh cellar.
 Good Work
 Individually, Poden of the Farer team and Chester of Autoyre hit similar singles of 145 which allowed them to share high single honor for the evening, while Harmon of Egan's Diner had two real good strings of IA and 136 plus fair effort of l04 that gave him high three of 384: with his team scoring high team total of 1899. Tn the Farer shutout over Scovills, Solury added big 135 to Poden's 145.

West Haven Takes Undis= puted Possession of End
 Place in State Loop

West Haven, Jan 8-The West Haven Red Devils moved into sole possession of second place in the State Basketb.l II League by beati.g the New Lordon Diesels, 48 to AT, on Frankie Iwanski's basket in the closing secnods of play in a slam bang encounter played in the high school gymnasium last night.
 The scrappy charges of Herky Ruberstein, in front IA to B in the first period and 24-23 at the mid- way mark, were forced to come from behind in the last period, squirting as Iwanski and Rocky Pe- trafesa tossed in hoops and clinched the battle on the strength of Iwan- skis underneath the hoop toss.
 The clever ball handling and brilliant shooting of Chubby Mal- iconico who chalked up six bas- kets and three free throws for a net total of '5; Iwanskis guarding and taking rebound off the backboards, and the al around play of Capt. Johnny Blasczyk paced the Devils.
 Red Wallace's IA counters and the steady playing of Capt. Joe Kane led New London.
 The Red Devils play in New Lon don tonight.

Major League MoguLs Hold Back Contracts
Brook yn, New York St. Joseph's Club Face K of L Saturday

When Brooklyn plays Brooklyn, well, brother-that's really some- thing. And that something will take place Saturday night at St. Joseph's hall, the local Brooklyn sections K. of L. cagers battling the St. Joseph's crew from the Green point section of New York's Brook lyn.
 The game is set for g. o'clock, dancing following, with 7:30 pre- liminary featuring St. Joseph's Holy Name.
 The oldest established basketball team in Brooklyn, New York, the St. Joseph's club is well known to local fans, having shown here in the past, dripping gruelling tus- tie by a couple of points last sea- son.
 Two standout performers in the lineup of the visitors are Dick Cole, former Manhattan college ace, and Tony Happen, who has appeared heer several times with the Maspeth, L. l., Transfigurations.
 Standout
 Happen enjoyed the greatest night in recent St. Joseph's hall history a year ago when he racked up 28 points to lead Maspeth to a win over the Liths-a new individual record. He sank eight baskets and dropped in 12 of. Is foul shots, drawing sev- eral fouls by going in on the hoop with the well known reckless aban- don. The curly-haired redhead is one of the finest performres ever to show locally.
 Kappan and Gale have been the two big scorers of the Long Island Pro league for the past four seasons and having them both on the same club gives the Greenpointers a po- tent one-two punch whcih bodes ill for the Knights.
 Of course, Happen and Cole, don't do it all. They're surrounded with capable cast of well-seasoned pro hoopmen who knew what its all about. Dick Lee, Willie Knapp and Bill Schu, all boasting pro experi- ence, will round out the starteds. with Harry Brown, a Greenpoint product. available for relief duty.
 This lineup has accounted for an list of victories, lowing only to the strong Quaker City Reds, who last week took the Liths into camp.

Expect Big Crowd for Dolan-Coco Kid

New Haven, Jan. 8.-The long, awaited Irish Eddie Dolan-Coco Kid tussle will take place at the Arena on next Wednesday night when Matchmaker George Sheppard will present his first pro boxing show of 1922. Dolan, Waterbury's idol, and Coco, pride of New Haven, will bat tie 12 rounds for the Connecticut welterwe!ght crown.
 For the last five years match makers around the state have at- tempted to make this bout, but it wasn't until last Monday that it was clinched. Coco and Dolan are regarded as two of the outstanding l45-pounders in the country.
 Both boys have fought from coast to coast and number many of the top flight welterweights among their victims. Dolan, southpaw, will be the cleverest opponent Coco has been called on to face.
 Waterbury fans are already all steamed up about the match, and Sheppard reports that several spe. cial busses will come down from the Brass City with Dolan rooters, &C., companied by band.

 MAY BE VERY
 TOUCH TO SIGN
Dodgers and Others to Wait; RumOrs Have Own.
 CTS Dizzy
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent)

United Press Staff Correspondent
 New York, Jan. 8-(UP)-Majo league club owners are very much up In the air about the war, Larry MscPhail, president of the Brooklyn Dodgers. revealed today indiscussing baseball's future and the contract situation.
 "None of us knows what to ex- pect," MacPhail said. We are all waiting as long as possible to send out contracts to try to get a line on what may happen"
 The Brooklyn Mahout said that he heard all sorts of rumors per- taining to baseball's future, among them:-
 That the majors wouldn't finish the 1922 season.
 That night baseball will be ban ned.
 That the governments demands on our railroads and airlines won't permit the western trips.
 That civilian defense won't per- init large crowds, day or night.
 These are all pessimistic views" MacPhail said Now I don't believe any of them or all of them but I'll admit I'm worried about our con- tracts and i042 plans. I've talked to other owners who say that they are going to wait as long as possible before sending out tkeir cnotracts."
 Hol ing Back
 The Dodgers are usually one of the earliest to get their players in line. So far only two have signed, Pete Reiser and Kirby Higbe, and one other, Hugh Casey, has agreed to terms. MacPhail indicated that he will hold contracts until after Feb. ]. Under baseball law players must receive their contracts by Feb. IS.
 Connie Mack,s plan to place the athletics on bonus arrangement isn't favored by MacPhail who said ne doubted it was the solution to the problem. In broad way Mac Pihail hinted that al. players might nave to take pay cuts.
 We've got to be fair to the play er," he said, but we've also got to be fair to ourselves"
 Joe May Miss
 The New York Giants plan to send their contracts about Jan. 15 or a little later. The Yankees, who rarely mail contracts before Feb l. plan to follow the same procedure this year. Incidentally the Tanks may have the toughest man in baseball to sign-jolting Joe Di- Maggie, who, on the basis of his lS4l season, should get a handsome raise. Joe is now somewhere around the $3O,00O class-nobody knows for sure-and he has $5O,0O0 ideas. h. asmuchc as he broke the all-time hitting record by betting safely in 56 straight games ard was the in splration in the Tanks drive to the pennant, DMaggio merits a big boost. But these aren't normal times and he isn't likely to get anywhere near what he deserves or expects.
 Every time the subject of DiMag- glos contract is mentioned to Ed Barrow, the Yankee proxy clears his throat so loud the interviewer takes a powder" or changes the subject fast.

| The little red horse was going in the big hundred grander at Santa Anita for 8 race that, along with another $l0,000. would have won him the title of biggest money winner ever bred. And Wright didn't fore see war.
 So when the bugle blows among the palms and flamingoes in Miami in March, Whirlaway won't be among the thoroughbred celebrities present and all the old railbirds will shake their heads and say that one of the oldest jinxes on the turf is back in working order. That, of course, is the superstition that some sort of disaster eventually overtakes every great money winner.
 The roll call of horses who have pursued the an-time record has grown long with the years and 1t is studded with the names of thou sands of failures. In the past few years alone there were dozens of beauties who looked like money from home-Stagehand, Kayak II, War Admiral, Challedon, Johnstown, Bimelech, Lawrin-but they all went down, one way or another.
 Even horses who reached the goal had to conquer the equine equival- ent of hell and high water in do- ing 1t. Phar Lap died after his greatest triumph; Sun Beau muffed a dozen chances to exceed $500 900: and Seabiscuit finally got up after year of retirement, pumping him. self along on a game knee and an ankle held together with glue.
 Whirlaway is now third among world greats. He has won $349 66l against the $376,644 of second place Sun Beau and the $437, ,730 of the gallant old champ, the Biscuit. From here out his path will be shadowed by hundreds of now forgotten heart- breaks and he'll have to come gal loping up the ladder the hard way if at all.
 Not So Easy
 With Santa Anita dark for the duration, Whirlaway must turn to New York and New England for pickings that are rich, if not soft. He can go in the second triple crowr-the suburban, Brooklyn and Butler Handicaps-but he'll have to sweep 1t or grand slam the Massa- chusetts and Narragansett to make up lostt ime, and he'll have to buck Market Wise and War Relic.
 Maybe he'll get up because he is a great horse and he has a great trainer in Ben Jones. But while ability is on his side, history isn't. II history repeats as 1t has repeated on the turf before, the proud sign of world money winning champ" never will be tackled up at Calumet Farm-because Q little red horse who earned $349,66l failed to earn a letter.

On the basis of its showing last night against Warren Harding's Presidents of Bridgeport, the l942 Wilby Wildcats of the basketball court hardly rate an even chance to defeat Crosby, when the two local rivals meet for the first time Satrr- day night. Two pastings in three games and a close win over Leav- enworth, is Wilby's none too impress sive hop record to date.
 Starting well against Harding, the Wilby lads found the hoop for 4 points, but from then on the visi- tors were not to be denied, though they had but three point edge Is to l2 at half time. The final score was 41 to 23, and gave Harding Its thirdt straight win and the leader ship of the Naugatuck Valley league. Score:
