GIRL TAG TEAM TOPS
By JAYBIRD

Mr.. Paul Bowser, director OF
Monday mites wrestling card at
Boston Arena, can take bow
for bringing the Colored Girl
Tag Team for its first appear
ance here.
Judging by the audience re-
action we'll be seeing a whole
lot more of these girls from
now on. The young ladies sur
prised all with their very femin-
inc appearance. Meeting them
elsewhere you would have taken
theml.. for just four more young
ladies on their way to or from
a theatre.
The winners, 10 year old
Kathy Wimbley and 20 yeor
old Ethel Johnson are both pro-
ducts of Ohio STATE. The losers,
blonde Betty White and auburn
haired Babs Wingo were very
cordial to the press while the
winners did a broadcast over a
local station. It's interesting to
note that the talk leaned to-
wards fashion and the methods
OF keep ones hair looking good
under such strenuous condi-
tons.
They will be In the city for
at least a week and will make
several appearances in the vi.
cinity. Being this reporters first
match I am not able to bring
the technical points to you, but
during intermission I gathered
these comments: Mrs. Beatrice
Miller of TIT fremont st. said
i rarely miss Monday mite at
the Arena and these girls are
the best I've seen. Hope they

an excellent match as did Ron

whelming audience approval

gagement soon and if so don't

SPORTS CLOSE-UPS
By FRITZ POLLARD

NEW YORK-Dodger fans are
asking themselves, in disbelief.
"Wha hoppen?" The dear old
team is falling apart at the
seams and there is no apparent
reason for it, basicalIy that
is.
OF course, Roy CampaneIIa,
fans will tell you the team isn't
the same without him in the
lineup; and Jackie Robinson,
fans will tell you the team needs
him in there every day. But
whatever is wrong with the Dod-
gers isn't just a few missing
players now and then. It must
be something else, and we think
it's psychological.
For what reason would a team
go all to pieces time after time
and play its very worst? What
other reason would there be for
the real sluggers in the lineup
to go hitless for so long? Nobody
has given us a crystal ball, and
we haven't heard any club
house gossip to amount to any,
thing; so this reaction can't
have anything to do with any
thing we've heard. But, con-
fidentially, we personally are
more sorry than ever that a
certain Mr.. O'Malley didn't sign
up a certain Mr.. Dresser for
two years, when Chuck asked
for it.
OF course, it's the worst thing
anybody could do not to give a
fellow a good chance, but this
fellow Aston seems to us to be
pressing too hard. We could be
wrong, but We don't think the
answer to Dodger trouble is to
be found in juggling players as
they have these past few days.
Wonder what OMalley is think
ing.

hit in the last 80 times at bat
