Outdoes Clan—Kyler, Holmquist Are Runners-up | | I Forgetting his caste for the nonce, | Bob Davlin last night stepped out| and hung up a brace of Rookie | records for himself in the meeting between the Sandpipers and the Hell Divers at the Elks’ last night. ‘With no respect whatsoever for the supposed limitations of Rookie rol-! lers, Davlin proceeded to corral! himself a single game high of 2432,' not bad, and a three-game total a full eight pins beyond the six hun- dred mark. Davlin’s nearest rivals were: Hell Diver Ken Kyler, who cut loose with one game of 224; and Leonard Holmquist, a Condor who battered over 565 pins in all. As a whole, the Rookies did fairly well last night, an even half-dozen of them bettering five hundred figures. With the large aid of Mr. Davlin, the Sandpipers encountered not too much difficulty in taking the de- ciding game of their match, tramp- ing in the tracks of the Beagles, who had led off by taking two out of three from the Pintails. The odd game of the finale was stolen by the Magpies from the Condors. The Elks’ alleys tonight will be in the hands of the Orioles again.

That General- & |issimo Branch Rickey is the great- est judge of young baseball talent in the business . . . That all ball- players want to sign with the Car- dinals. Breadon has disclosed preliminary details of a Cardinal road company that will tour the country for three months each year as a sort of school for youngsters anxious to have ad- vice from their baseball elders — youngsters who may some day wear Redbirds on their shirt fronts. Branch Rickey, Jr. is in charge of the new venture. The Cards are thinking of obtaining the services of 50-year-old. Alexander as roving tutor to thejpitchers. “We would like to have Alex for this job,” said Breadon, “because a kid will remember what a man of Alex's reputation tells him.” The Cardinals, Breadon said, have been looking after Alex ever since he quit to go fishing. Breadon is certain he will never forget that climatic act in the 1926 world series when “Old Pete” plodded painfully to the mound from the faraway bull pen and struck out young Tony Lazzeri with the bases loaded.
