Plodding Pittsburgh Pirates Loom On National Flag Horiz DON’T GO WEST, YOUNG MAN! (Dedicated to Bill Terry) • Out where the Plratee’ dab grow* stronger, Oat where the Cardinals’ lead gets longer. Oat where the Cabs treat yon wrong, then "wronger,” That's where the west begins! LOU BURSTON, back on a visit to his home town after five years in Paris, tells of an outdoor fight arena in Algiers which has a cover, Ing made of sfusage skin, to be used In case of rain. It sounds like an awful lot of balloneyl GOOD TIME MICKEY WALKER, whose list won him over a half, million dollars and two world’s championships, fQught at the Port Hamilton Army reservation last night for ham and eggs. Is there any sermon more eloquent? And Daisy Vance, whom the boys In the Ebbcts Field stands had been riding of late, has Jcrncd the Bush w icks ,a semi-pro outfit whose followers cannot dispense as deadly a raspberry as Dodger fans. In short, Doxsy is about to And out that a bird In the stand Is worth two in tho Bushwlcks. A PHONEY AT the Narragansett race tracks Is annoying Billy Ames and other officials, trying to get passes by using my name. If the gentleman will only impersonate me at Madison Square Garden, for the same purpose, he will probably get the swift punch In the nose that's coming to him. LEXICON OF A FIGHT MANAGER. INTENSIFY—To recognize the vlctim’e body. ADKQUATF^-Forced to give up, as in “He broke hU arm and ade quate.” INFRACTION—What you etudy in arithmetic. POSTERITY—When times are good, you call it posterity. AROMATIC—A fellow who has paina in his Joints. ACROSTIC—Making cutting remarks to someone. SALIENT—What Dumb Dan Morgan never la. A quiet guy. ILK—A lodge which has a tooth on its membership pin. JUXTAPOSITION—Used like this; “Feint him with your left and you'll have him in Juxtaposition for a knockout." ITALY HAS A foot-destroying acid which it hopes to sprinkle on the sands of Ethiopia to raise havoc with the barefooted minions of Emperor Halle (Columbia) Selassie. A much better bet would be to cram Prtmo Camera full of garlic and coax him to burp at the enemy. Or, better still, turn Prlmo loose, barefooted, providing the wind is from the right quarter. This is said to be deadly even against Ethiopians who hap pen to be In a woodpile. Emperor Selassie's only hope is to hire Joe Louis who seems to thrive on a garlic-fume diet. EBBETS FIELD IS THE only National League ball yard which doesn't have a public address system, but on the other hand, name another league park where there are more loud speakers in the stands. Boxing must be looking up at Madison Square Garden when the folks over there are willing to risk bucking the Fort Hamil ton c|ub, as they did last night. THE V. S. LAWN TENNIS Association which is holding the men’s an4 women's singles championships Jointly at Forest Hills this week for the first time in history, announces that it is making this move to gdd sex appeal to the matches. Are we to understand that the tennis mOguls hope Handsome Fred Perry will be able to offset the spectacle of some of those women players in shorts? Anyone with 11,250,000 plus f 700,000 to pay off the mortgage notes era buy the Brooklyn ball club. The laughs are worth that much, alone. The way the Giants are going now, they look like a cinch to knock off first place—in the second division.
