last night approved a doubleheadel
for the seasons opener on May 9

lgion and Elks Cluts, with the Moose
men and the Douglas nine playing
in the second seven Trainer. Teams
were matched by drawing from a
hat and all present were satisfied
with the schedule.
1t was further agreed that the
schedule of playing days would re-
main the same as last year, with
games slated for Tuesdays, Fridays
and Sundays. A proposal to move
the starting time for evening games
up to GAS or TOO o'clock was re-
jectea in favor of having the games

/ agreed that Fred Henning would
distribute pocket programs for the
season.

field was thoroughly aired, with all
present confirming a policy to en-
force the umpire's decision mere SC
than in the past. Several instances
were mentioned where the officials

Spouse. Showing officials around

which would no longer be tolerated

sion of team managers relative tc

corning the distribution of 4th Of

ing rs percent going to the first anc
second place teams, six shares to the

Teleuision and Sports

Sport, any game you might men,
ton, has come face to face with
its major problem-television.
One of the major promoters in this
field, one with a tremendous interest
involved had this to say:
"Television is the biggest guess
I've ever run across in sport. No.
one can say for sure what will
take place. With a half-million
dollars involved in my own case
it may amount to much more than
that-Pve spent many an hour try
ing to figure it out. Here's what
can happen:
mo. l. 1t will help attendance
and gate receipts, just as radio did.
1t will bring about increased interest
in various games, especially base
ball. 1t will give us double revenue.
mo. 2. 1t will cut down attend
ance figures heavily. People can
hear about something and want to
see it. But if they actually see it
once, they won't be so eager about
seeing it again.
NO. 5. II attendance and the
gate receipts are cut down, we can
get our money back by lifting rev.
enues from television Television
will have to pay for it. But how will
it look to see a ball game played
before 500 or 1000 fans? That won't
be so good. How will it look to see
football crowds cut in two? That
wouldn't look so good either.
mo. 4. Television will have lit
tie effect on attendance, one way or
another. In that case, we'll get our
revenue from two sources, as we do
right now.
"This is the situation" he said.
ave don't know. I believe it will
build up additional interest, as radio
did, and increase attendance. This
would be wonderful"

The Best Golf Grip

Most professional golfers and most
leading amateurs stand strongly by
the overlapping grip. Alex Morrison
always has claimed that the inter-
locking loosens up the two wrists -
and is far more useful for those who
have passed 40.
It might surprise you to know
how many golfers have passed 40 -
or as. 1t might surprise you to
learn how many golfers no longer
have the whippiness of youth in their
hands and wrists, as the grizzled
gray begins to appear at the edge
Of their scalps.
1t is much easier to break the
wrists with the interlocking than
it is with the overlapping, where
the little finger of the right hand
is placed over the fOrefinger Of the
