New York, April 8-(UP)--Just as in the past 1859 days, Pericles did not go to the post today--but you'd better not mention 1t at home If you're having slack trouble.
 Tn these days of dissenSion as to who should perambulate in the trousers and who should curry the dinner dishes, this handsome horse is a menace to the husbands oenev- olent and protective order against dishpan hands. We had better dis cuss 1t in a whisper.
 Pericles is owned by one of our members, an oil fellow from New Orleans named William Helis. He paid $s6,o00 for the colt-and 1t never has been to the races, failing once again now 98 days after its fourth birthday because of lack Of manners in the starting gate.
 The rub is that a woman pushed him up to a 5000 bid for the colt and you still can hear the echo of her laugh.
 She Is Mrs. Elizabeth (Arden) Gra- ham and undoubtedly is well known to your little woman because she deals in cosmetics and other similar man-shattering devices.
 Mrs. Graham also has been cruel to another of our members from Chicago named John Marsch. She was only half as mean to him, how ever, as she was to Helis. He swal- lowed the hook for only $34,000.
 It seems that Mrs. Graham and Marsch were bidding for a likely looking youngster by he did out of planetoid. Our fellow member and joint sufferer from the wiles of womanhood "won" with a $S4,00O bid, but his prize which he named T did" never did or even get close.
 This woman, gentlemen, is a real threat to the very foundation and principles of the BPO.AD.H. For she not only wins going, she par lays it coming, too.
 Bought Beaugay
 There was, for instance, another memorable moment when she and Helis tangled in 8 salespring duel and she outbid him at $22, 900 for fairly nice looking little lilly. Noth- ing exceptional, you understand, SC our fellow member ran her up to tidy $22,000 and then ducked out and left her stuck with the lilly. Oh

Leavenworth Squad
 Cut to IS Players

the final decision on who will take over in these "tossup" posts will be power at the plate. Bart Daley is cinch to clinch first string catch ing position as he can pick up "the old apple" as well as hit 1t. George Knauff will be his understudy in this key post. To date Tracy has given the nod to three out of four pitchers, they are: Dante Abbor- dolo, Al Leach and Ronnie Mar dozd. Roger F'ontaine and Frank Passerelli are fighting for the fourth vacancy on the mound staff.
 From here on in to the week of April 16th, when the Leavenworth baseball season is offlcially ushered in, all candidates who are fortunate enough to remain on the Tech ros- ter, will have to be on their toes if they want to stay there. Coach Tracy has pretty well rounded out infield and outfield. the pitch CTS look good, the backstops are airtight and all that remains to be improved is power at the plate. With the lads that Tracy has on hand he shouldn't have much trouble in developing five or six promising candidates, Time will tell"
