Yet I don’t think he's reached his peak.” Shelton thinks many college teams have an edge on otherwise superior independent outfits in spirit and “intestinal fortitude.” “An independent team with a col- lege spirit—that's the prize-win- ning combination,” he says. “That’s the kind of team we have this year.” —_—— THIS LOOKS BAD LAWRENCE, Kansas, March 11.— Sylvester Schmidt of Marysville, Kas., forward of the University of Kansas quintet, is slipping scholas- tically. But Coach Phog Allen isn’t wor- ried. For the fall term of this school year, Schmidt turned in two grades of “B” and three of “A”. In the spring semester of 36 he came up with only one “B” and four “A’s.” Previously he had straight “A’s.” > SCOTTISH RITE MASONS Degree work Wednesday, Thurs- day, Friday and Saturday evenings this week.

Last year, when the Sox were| considering an opportunity to buy the 19-year-old second base sensa- tion, Collins made a trip to the coast to lock the youngster over. He saw enough to be convinced that Doerr would fit in nicely around the keystone sack. Certainly, Eddie should recognize a second-baseman when he sees one—Collins was just about the best ball-player who ever kicked up the dust around second. He was as smart as they come. Despite Doerr’s inexperience, Col- lins believes the boy is ready to cov- er the bag. A bit of new life wouldn't do the Boston Millionaires any harm. Doerr began his diamond career at 14 when he joined an American Legion team in Los Angeles. This team, with Doerr playing a major| role, won state and regional cham- pionships. When Doerr was 16, Bill Lane, owner of the San Diego club, (then operating under the Holly- wood ' franchise), signed him up. That was in 1934 when Lane'’s team was battling Old Man Depression and was forced to take on a lot of low-salaried talent. Oscar Vitt, then manager of the club, sent Bobby to second in a practice session. Vitt was satisfied the youth had the makings of a real ball-player, so he assigned him/ to second for the remainder of the| season. For the next two yearsi Bobby held the job. Then llongi came Tom Yawkey with his check-; book.

In 1934 he hit .259, boosted his mark to .317 in 1935 and .341 in 1936. He led Coast, League batters with 237 hits last| season. Too, he stole 28 bases. He! topped the league's second basemen| in total chances handled, when he took care of 903. Only 33 of these did he misplay, and that gave him an average of 965.

The father and 1our brothers were squatting behind the bat be- fore sandlotter Frank signed with the Gianls' Jersey City. Gus, of course, is the Giants’ first-string mitt man. He's a broth- er. Of Frank, Gus says: “That boy's got it. He's already developed a real knack for catching and has a style all his own.” It was as much Gus, however, as it was Frank’s style that got Frank's contract with the Jersey club. Catching is either catching or hereditary in the Mancuso family. The father, now dead, was a fine amateur backstopper in Houston and Beaumont, Tex.

LOS ANGELES, Cal., March 11.— Wth elimination of the tip-off play as their goal, coaches of Pacific Coast Conference basketball teams in California are headed for Chi- cago for the session of the Ameri- can Basketball Coaches Association there on Monday and Tuesday. The California Coaches hope to influence the Association to do away with the center-jump except at the start of each half and after a suc- cessfully converted double foul shot. Their argument is that elimination (of the tip-off, besides speedng the play, has reduced injuries in the Southern Division of the Coast Con- ference. The Southern Division has done without the center-jump for the past two seasons, but the Northern Daily Alaska Empiréfv'r .
