West Point Life Hard
Giants Coulter Hints
BY the kssoeioted Press

BEAR MOUNTAIN, N. Y, Sept
10.-The New York Pro Giants are
keeping their strength up with
some of the outsize Bear Noun
tain steaks for a few days pend
ing the start of the girdiron wars
and when you drop in on them you
run into any number of interesting
things besides the scenery, which
isn't bad either
For instance, stout Steven Owen,
who is Mr.. Giant, himself, admits
this is the most offensive minded
and probably the hotteSt-ball
club he's welded together since his
high-presSure, point ma
chine of 1888, which only won the
National League championship.
And you find up here, too, that
Art (Tex) Coulter, the towering
tackle who still would be at West
Point if he could do his arithmetic,
doesn't see how any one can criticize
Shorty McWilliams for handing in
his resignation recently from Army.
Il don't know why Shorty left"
Tex drawls, but I do know he wasn't
satisfied at the Point. There are
others who aren't satisfied. You
must remember, that West Point,
with its regulations and such is not
designed to be liked. It's designed
to build character"

For National Title

HARRISBURG. Pa, Sept. 10
The All-American Amateur Baseball
Association championship will be de-
cided this afternoon in a game be-
tween Naiman Photo of Washing
ton, D. c., and Spring Grove, Md.
Both have identical records of 6 won
and one lost after Naiman turned
back Spring Grove, 4-3, last night
to follow an earlier triumph over
Elkton, Md, 9-8.
Thirty-four- -year-old Les Hoff,
Washington pitcher, was the hero in
both contests, entering in the ninth
frame both times to save mis- falter-
ing mates. In the first game, Elkton
got to Lefty Mcintyre, Naiman
hurler, for two runs in the eighth
and scored another in the ninth and
loaded the sacks with one out before
Hoff came in to stop that one.
The night game was similar, with
Spring Grove scoring single markers
in the seventh and eighth to come
within one run of tie before Hoff
again took the mound in the ninth
to turn back his opponents.

Central Squad Reduced.
Coach Jan Jankowski at Central

remaining from last weeks rs.
Jan has some promising newcomers,
among them Bob Petrillo, a 175-
pound guard who may earn a start
ing assignment, and Dick Williams,
southpaw kicker and passer who
should go very well at right half
back. Jan always has mixed his
attack with lot of plays going to
the weak side, but with a portside
HEAVIER in there he can add still
more deception.
John Rowan, a quarterback: Fo-
tus Kourosotus, a 195-pound center
with lots of speed for that size, and
Bill Dunkar and Dick Jones, both
ends, are other youngsters battling
with some of the more experienced
players for assignments.

football season under Coach Reno
Continetti, has IS players remaining
from the SO who turned out two

are Parker Kirby, three letter

MEXICO CITY, Sept. 10.-Presi-

turned down an offer to buy three
major league teams in the United

but in Grace's case salary boost

was sort of dark-horse entry, for
the Mats expected no such batting
from him. The Mats bosses would
have disposed of Heath for a couple
of rusty hairpins and when they
got Grace they didn't envision him
as an outfleld fixture.
Grace, however, has kept Rookie
Gil Coan on the bench and now
has become more important to the.

Aaron Perry, the District colored

proved faster than Perry. coming
into the local boy with smart lefts

Perry could unload his big guns.
Perry didn't get set for a really good
shot all night and did little damage,
and it's possible he left his speed,
