started when we innocently stopped
at Michel's the other night. Michel
was away in New York at the time,
but Julian Altman was there to see
i that the music Lovers didn't miss
him too much. It was while Julian
was sitting discussing his good (?)
old days with the National SYM
phony that Michel's son, Stanley
Weiner, took up his violin. He got
into a tricky, highly technical show
piece, playing it brilliantly, 1t seemed
to US. It seemed so to Julian, also.
Els 1t warm in here for newspaper
men, too, or just for us violinists?"
Julian asked.
Well, we ultimately learned that it
was Paganini's Witches Dance
that Stanley was playing.
Later that night we were at Sacha
Lucas Coral Club at the Moulin
Rouge and mentioned the piece to
Sacha and Mischa, the headwaiter
who used to play artillery for the
car. Mischa commended we hadn't
heard any such thing and probably
were thinking Of Dance Of the Cob

one else. He called us on the phone
the next day.

Stern has placed T~ennessee's Dick

Bob Neyland called 'the best

George Conner, Notre Danes out

aboard a subchaser in the Pacific

to get its boomers knocked off "a
z. despite some fancy coaching
from Harry Gilmer, number one
hurler Cor the Alabama Crimson
Tide.
The key to the situation affect

Tar Heel state. At the moment
she's engaged in harmless work.
being a staff writer for the Will
mington News, but no one can be
sure she won't pull her gals grid
classic here next season, and she
won't deny the possibility herself.
The powderpuff classic last year,
a touch affair, was sponsored by
the Alabama University Press
club, and marked the first time in
'Bama history % girls put on a
public display of hair-pulling. The
terrible thing about it all is that
it went over big, and actually was
a great contest. Fellows, it's liable
to invade III own sane state.
OF course, a few mistakes had
to happen. For one period the
losing Bees had IL girls on the
field, and then equalized with just
10. When a coach yelled an order
to a team captain, he was told to
"Shut up" in strictly traditional
feminine manner.
Using the slogan, "Now's the
Chance Cor the Girls to Make the
Passes" the two teams put on
such a great show, Alabama's stu
dent body president said the Honey
Bowl affair was to be an annual
event. 1t was a barrel of fun,
especially when one of the lassies
quit the tilt because she had an
appointment with the hairdresser.
This is fair warning, to all lovers
of football. Miss OTIS is an ad-
dition to North Carolina and Will
mington, but suppose she starts
this awful thing here, and it goes
over? Who's going to pick up the

World Series Players To
Get $25O,000 Cash Plum
BONUS PLAN
0UTLAWED

NEW YORK, Feb. ~1.-UH-The
Major leagues voted today to
make the World Series a more at.
tractive proposition to the players
by guaranteeing a $3.50, 600 pool to
be divided between participating
teams.
The move was made to ~forestall
such situations as developed last
year when the players on the Bos.
ton Red Sox got less f or their
losing share than the umpires who
worked the games. This occurred
because the parks of the partici-
pating teams, the Red Sox and the
St. Louis Cardinals. h a d limited
seating capacities, and the total
player pool amounted to only $212,.
900.
Under the new resolution the
money would be divided on a 60
40 ratio, which would provide
$50, 900 to the winning team and
the balance of 500, 900 to the loser.
The clubowners also rebuked
generous Tom Yawkey, million
naire-oWner of the Red Sox, for
giving bonuses to his World Series
players and officially adopted an
amendment forbidding such bonus
es in the future.
The new regulation does not af.
feet teams which do not play in
the series and there was no pro-
vision made prohibiting bonuses to
players during the regular season.
This would make such demon
STATIONS of gratitude as Brooklyn
Owner Branch Hickey came up
with last season, where he gave
his battling Dodgers new auto
mobiles, perfectly legal.
The transforming rule. which
permits players to 60 on tour for
30 days after the regular season,
was amended to prohibit them
from starting until after the World
Series. Previously, players on
clubs not in the series were per-
mitted to barnstorm Immediately
after the close of the regular sea-
son.
The bonus rule, drafted at the
Major Minor league meetings at
Los Angeles in December, was Of
ficially adopted. The rule provides
that young players given bonuses
for signing Major league contracts
may not be assigned to clubs in
leagues of lower classifications.
Furthermore, the new rule pro-
vides that bonus players once post
ed On waiver lists must be sold
if claimed. Waivers can not be
Withdrawn.
George Trautman, the new COM
missioner of t h e Minor leagues,
addressed the big leagues briefly.
He said "plans are definitely I'M
derway to correct gambling stu
atoms such as existed in the
Evangeline league last season."
