Seiberling isn't boastful; he is very

feel sorry for myself would have been
utterly lost. Self-pity is one of the most

nurses of many routine hospital duties.
Mrs. Hopkins got out her bicycle which
she had bought for fun-and just in
case-began pedaling it to Columbia
Hospital, which specializes in obstetrical
cases. The babies were coming so fast
that an entire floor was taken over from
surgical to increase capacity for mothers
and babies. Last month the hospital
broke its record with 284 new babies. Yet
there were fewer nurses.

Pin Tourney
Lists Close
Sunday Night

With majority of the defend
ing champions already entered
and sizeable entry list assured,
proprietors and the Mount
Clemens and Macomb Recrea-
ton alleys were looking forward
today to the schedule assign
ments early in the week.
Deadline for the entries is at
midnight on Sunday. The usual
rush of last-minute applications
was expected today and tomor-
row, though the prospects of the
entry list reaching last years
proportions we're not regarded as
too strong. The rule on limiting
bowler to participation in the
tourney with only one team, and
the descriptions caused by the
war and draft were seen as rea-
sons for the thinned entries.
SOUTH MACOMB ENTRIES
Nevertheless, a cut from last
years 81 quintetS, 140 doubles
and 217 singles could be suffered
without handicapping the tourn-
ey. A number of entries were
expected from South Macomb
drives and three teams are al
ready in from the Mt. Elliot Re-
creation. Several of the south
county spots were to be contact
ed this afternoon.
Among the defending cham
pions already signed up are: the
Wolverine Chips team of Rich
mond (now going under an
other name, according to tourney
manager Arnold Rockensuess);
Otto Nickel and Chris Konstan-
ger, who shared the doubles
crown, but will not bowl to-
gether this year, and Bob Green
