Feb. 21.—()—Forty years. in the baseball industry hasn't damp- ened Charles E.

The ruddy-faced, corpulent busi- ness partner of the ailing John Joseph McGraw who before his retirement. two years ago from active duty piloted the Giants to three world titles, looks for his employes “to carry on where they left, off last fall and, at the same pace.” They're a great bunch of young, ing players,” Stoneham said while ing to be ushered into McGraw’s “penthouse” quarters in the New Rochelle hospital. “In addition to that, they're a lot more experienced and baseball wise than they were last | Year at this time.” Wes that the only reason he ex- pects the Giants to repeat? “No. there are two other reasons,” | Stoneham said. “First, the matter of ;contracts, We're all signed up. | “Secondly, there's the case of Travis iJackson. 1 have been assured that plackson is in A-1 condition.” ‘Four More Games to Decide Cue Champion New York, Feb. 21—(#!\—With only {four games remaining, five players 'had designs Wednesday on the world’s three cushion billiard cham- pionship now held by Welker Coch- jran, of San Francisco.

She lost, 5 and 4, in a furious final with Mrs. Miriam Burns Horn. Now that we have given away her age, we might as well add the name. The girl was Maureen Orcutt, the Mac Smith of feminine golf. nis that day to this Maureen always hi been in the running in the big peta jonships, has won a flock of secondary tournaments, but never could quite crash the queen row. Consistently she has been Billte Hick’s jinx. If it were not for Mau- reen, Miss Hicks might have her name} on @ dozen or so championship cups. Yet, strangely last year in the nation- al, Hicks smothered Orcutt before Maureen could get started. * ek * The jinx reasserted itself the other’ day in Florida when Maureen defeated Billie in the Miami-Biltmore cham- Pionship, winning thereby the “run- ner-up title” to National Champion Virginia Van Wie. It won’t be long now until Miss Orcutt brings her game back north, stopping on the way to Pinehurst to win the North-South again. For the last three years in a row she has knocked off the talent at Pinehurst. For four years in a row she won the Metropolitan women’s, 1926 to 1929 —before she was 22 years old. Three times she won the eastern title, 1925, 1928 and 1929. Four New Jersey cups are in her collection—1924, ‘25, '26 and ‘27. And in 1930 and °31 she won the Canadian championship. That's a lot of winning for a young woman. Off her rating it would ap- Pear she couldn’t miss a national title either here or in England, but some- how Maureen has managed very well. * Oe * Miss Orcutt has played among “the big four” of women’s golf for so long that her inconsistency in the most im- portant tournaments has become one of the outstanding mysteries in a game that manufacturers mysteries as quickly as a pulp novelist turns out Plots. With average scores that rank respectably with the marks of Van Wie, Collett and Hicks, she just can’t win, The veteran observer Mary K. Browne once gave her version of Maureen's technique: “For one thing Glenna Collett con- sistently has been her jinx. Maureen never has had a very good match play temperament. At crucial moments she blows up a la Leo Diegel. Shoots phe- nomenal medal rounds, then goes to pieces.” A man named Jones used to have trouble like that. But when he dub- bed shots in the tough spots as a youth, and took a few healthy swipes at the sand, he would say, “There goes my blankety-blank temper again.” Maybe that temperament of Mau- reen’s is something like that, too. Dunn Center Champs Of Dunn County Loop (Special to the Tribune) Dunn Center, N. D., Feb. 21—The Dunn Center high school cagers took an overtime period to win the Dunn county ‘conference championship when they beat Halliday 26-24.

D., Feb. 21.—(F}— Valley’ City State Teachers college evened its season record with James- town college and forged into undis- puted possession of the leadership in the North Dakota Intercollegiate con- ference championship here Tuesday night by defeating the Jimmies, 40-25. Through the first half and the first three minutes of the second, the game was fought on virtually even terms. Thereafter, however, the Vikings etd pulled away to a comfortable lead. Valley City scored four points be- fore the Jimmies, who upset the Vik- ings in their first meeting, could break through for @ counter. There- after the teams fought fiercely with the lead alternating until half time when Valley City held a 17-16 mar- gin. For the first three minutes of the second half, the battle continued at an even pace, but the Jimmies then let up while Valley City forged ahead. Loss of Schauer in the last 12 min+ utes hurt Jamestown’s chances. Caskey and Hill, Valley City for- -|wards, played standout games.
