The Moose still have their opening-day revenge to take from Douglas, both managers are still figuring on the same line-ups, with the same hurlers set to take the hill. The fracas is still figured to go nine innings, and the same starting time, 5:30 o'clock, is set, with the game to be played at the same place, ™ Firemen's Park. - The weather man may have had an eye to just how well the game would fit into Gas- tineau Channel's Memorial Day program when he sent his rain clouds around yesterday. — e AUSTRALIANS LOSE SINGLES IN BIE MEET FOREST HILLS, N.

World rghts reserved If You Don’l_Undersland, Girls, Act Wise—Don't Spoil Romance ( By JOAN DURHAM i AP Feature Service Writer NEW YORK, May 31.—One of the cardinal virtues of the modern wo- man s Ford Frick, president of the National Baseball League, is that she knows how to behave at a baseba!l game. “Ladies’ y,” which has grown to be sn institution with many base- ball leagues, has brought about this innovation, he says. Pressed for do's and don'ts on the subject of how a feminine fan should behave at a baseball game, Mr. Frick contributed a number of the following. *“Pap,” sports car- toonist, rounded out the list: Den't complain when your part- ner thrusts a bag of peanuts at you at the very beginning of the game.

It's all right, for instance, to ask about the batting averages of some of the outstanding players.

But before starting to leave the ball park be sure the game is over. (There’s the so-called big “stretch,” during the seventh inning when superstition demands that the home team crowd stand. But the game is far from over then. There are at least two more innings to come.) If you should happen to catch the ball when it comes into the grandstand, by all means hold on to it. (In case you don’t know it, although, strietly speaking, that's against the law, it’s an old base- ball custom.) | And last, but far from least, never suggest leaving the game. For one of the maxims in baseball is that anything can happen. i Ry A% R ek 0 ‘Mickey Cochrane Reported Better NEW YORK, May 31. — Mickey Cochrane, manager of the Detroit Tigers, is improving in the hospital here.

He gave his country a fresh con- stitution, and was elected first con- stituticnal president of the second republic. This constitution char- tered a new social order, identified rather vaguely as “liberal democ- racy”. As an indication of the trend, women won equal status with men, and workers were safeguarded against summary dismissal, long hours, low wages, and want in ill- ness and old age. Vargas is credited with having promoted good feeling with foreign countries, especially the United States, Argentina and Uruguay. “Yell-Proof’ Jail SIGRID'S 1 BEAUTY SALON 'I | 5 “YOUR APPEARANCE IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY” Shattuck Bldg.
