But the tables will be turned tonight for the Firemen have one of the strongest teams now and from all observances are out to capture the City League title. In the preliminary, starting at 7:30 o'clock, Douglas, champions of the first round, are favored to win from the Gravesmen; but again, the under dogs might sur- prise the Islanders like they did the DeMolays recently when they tied the score and- called for a five minute overtime. The two strongest teams of the City League are playing tonight, not each other, bui from their showings in tonight's games the| eventual victor should appear. i e A RIENDEAU RULES ROOKIES' ALLEY ROOST.

He's got every- thing a pitcher ought to have.” “Everything. sord'ng to Smith, eonsists of: Height, long arms, loose no swrplus flesh, cool-head- and plenty of control. ‘sneaker’ is a wow,” Papa Smith goes on and on. “It had some of the boys on our club guessing when he threw ‘em over in batting practice last summer. He’s cool a3 a cucumber and has more control than any kid T've ever seen.” When young Bob is ready for the big time Bob, sr., says, he plans to pack away his own uniform. Can't Wait Fer Spring “But I won't quit until then,” he declares. “And maybe I will keep on pitching . . . if the minors keep sending us the kind of pitchers they've been scnding.” A moundsman who can look back on 14 years in the big leagues, Smith says he is just as eager for spring practi¢e today as he was when he \first played pro ball. He is spending the winter hunt- ing quail. and giving his son tips on how to pitch baseball and shoot a basketball through the hoop, ° Bob, jr., is captain of the Boys" high school cage team here. “He can handle that basketball, too,” declares Bob, sr. who says he ought to know because he has played the game himself. “I used to play on the Agoga five,” says Smith. “It was a cracker- jack team in these parts.” Coaches Twirlers tween pitching and coaching mound | | | The veteran divides his time be- g | WILL BE USED ~ Chest as Baby Lessons Lea‘;r“]ed at Memor- ial Day Classic to Be Passed to Public INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Feb. 9. The lessons in fuel efficiency which come out of the 500-mile race at Indianapolis this ‘May 31 will be Immediately passed on to the mo- toring public. The cars must use stock gasoline obtainable at the cor- ner filling station and the mixtuve will be subjected to intense scrutiny by the technical committee. For the first time in four years drivers will be allowed an unlim- ited amount of fuel but never be- fore in the history of racing at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway have they been confined as to the mix- ture “hopped-up” fuel that often has been as far away from ordinary gasoline as the lightning rod on the Empire State Building is from the subway. Now it must come from the same pump where Mr, John Q. Public fills up his tank. A varied combination of benzol, “lead” (Ethyl) and high-test goso- line has always carried the fastest competitive cars in America home to the $100,000 in cash prizes on Decoration Day. the results of these tests of admittedly “trick” fuel have slowly worked their way into com- mon usage but now the application to general motoring will be direct. The spectator may drive home with the same fuel used by his hero in winning the classic. — e HORAGE CANNERY OPERATOR WEDS, SEATTLE Al Jones, Anchorage cannery op- erator, and Ann Bruington Tinker were recently married in Seattle.

LOUIS, Feb. 9—An infant girl, born with her heart outside the body, is in St. Louis Children’s Hospital. Physicians do not believe the girl will live. The heart, uncovered by tissue, lies on the’ center of the chest with its base connected to the larg- er blood vessels. It's beating is plainly visible. Possibilities of an| operation to place the heart inside' the chest were remote. Ihe baby is resting comfortably, in an incubator. Infants occasionally are born with their hearts near the outer, edge; of the chest cavity and covered| only by a thin layer of tissue. But an entirely exposed organ is ex- tremely rare. 1 e — MARTHA SOCIETY ‘Anyone in the path of this man-mountain had better move unless they want 625 pounds ot flesh to come hurtling down on them This collection of callories i1s no other than Martin Levy Boston matman, who has been wrestling for five years without being thrown. all of which seems explainable when one weighs the idea of tossing bettel than a quarter of a ton around!

The total{ fares collected by the railway should be approximately $230,000 and the railway estimates that a very con- siderable sum of money will be spent’ in this country by visitors during the long stops at Harbin, Hsinking and Mukden. Eight runs will be made before and after the Olympic Games. { Manchouli to Dairen is about 1,170 miles, while the Manchouli-Fusan run is about 500 miles longer.

He says he pitched the greatest game of his career against St. Louis last season, “Set down 22 Cardinals in a row,” Smith recalls, “and didn’t give up but two hits.” His formula for longevity in base- ball is: “Take care of yourself.” Smith is 37, happily married, and the father of three sons—“all ball- players,” he says. He believes baseball today is “more of a scientific game.” “We're getting a good many ex- college stars and they'e smart,” he remarks. “They’re having an up- lifting influence on the game as 2 whole, I think.” Smith says Dizzy Dean and Carl Hubbell have ideal builds for pitching. “They're tall, rangy, loose jointed and haven’t a lot of muscles to tie them up.” Louis Registers Surprise ‘Weaving under the Bomber’s huge arms, Bob Pastor (right) brought a look of surprise from Joe Louis in their 10 round fight in New York. Although he dented the negro with these tactics, Pastor was unable to overcome a rally that gave Louis the decision.
