Associated Press Sports Editor. NEW ORLEANS. March 27. AP The New York Giants will be stronger, tougher and louder this season In their battle to regain the National league championship, mainly because they spent a lot of money for a little guy who looks like a college sophomore but acts on a ball field like a Commune he Indian. Blondy Ryan telegraphed the Olanta into a pennant winning rally two years ago and his successor, Dtcfc Bartell. the little fellow with th big voice, seems determined to holier the club back to the top. Tonic for Terry Oang. His war whoops, along with natu ral aggressiveness afield and at bat, seem to be Just the tonic the New Yorkers need to make them forget the debacle of 1034. His fighting spirit already has BUI Terry's gang In a surprisingly belligerent mood. Bartell 'unquestionably Is like a new mainspring for the club, fitting In beautifully with the veteran Travis Jackson, Hughey Critz and Terry around the infield, but he Is not the only reason why the Giants flKure to have at leaat an even chance of satteflting the current world champions. Terry has solved the centerfleld problem by getting George Davis back from the Phillies to share the Job with broad shoxildered Hank Lel ber, who looks like a "natural" fence buster, but who has yet to prove It consistently. Big Four Intact. He has hia celebrated pitching "big four" Intact, whereas Roy (Tarzan) Farmalee was on the shelf with ap pendicitis for the first two months of last season. Gus Mancuso, top sergeant of the battery department. Is another 1034 invalid who can be depended on from the outset. Finally, the development of Clydell Castleman. young right hander. and the addition of two seasoned relief men, Leon Chanon and Allyn Stout, give the club the pitching Insurance It needs for all emergencies. The Active Club "Kittens" anil Jennings Tire Co. split even In their City Bowling league match at the Smoke House last night, each team taking two points. The Standard Roofers made a clean sweep of their match with the Active Club "Alley Cata."

O. (Chuck) Nationally Known Bowling Lesson 2 Selection of Ball. The majority of bowlers are In clined to favor a narrow span ball, which la a serious mistake. The nar row span prevent proper distribu tion of weight of ball between thumb and finger, with most of the weight on thumb. In using such a ball the bowler is compelled to either have a tl ght thumb hole or put the thumb into the hole as far as pos sible, which draws the hand In a cramped position. The result la the ball Is not balanced in the hand, making It difficult to handle and much less effective. The way to select the proper span In a ball Is to place the thumb in hole to a natural, comfortable posi tion without "burying" the thumb. With the thumb in proper position. place the hand flat on the bail with lnger extending over finger hole and determine width of span by the dis tance Joint of finger extends past edge of hole. This distance should be from !s to' 4 Inches, depending on Photograph Number Z SOFTBALL LEAGUE TO GET UNDERWAY IN NEXT FEW DAYS The "twi-llght" league of Medford kitten-ball la beginning to show signs of life with about ten teams having given Indications of their desire to Join In the festivities. The "Office Boys" held a preliminary warm-up at VanScoyoc field Sunday. with several players from other teams working out with them, an Indica tion that the time is about ripe to launch the new series. The days are longer now, and with a seven-inning game taking about 40 minutes for completion, the teams, starting play at 6 o'clock, should have plenty of time to finish their struggles before dark. Just how many new teams there will be Is not yet known, but three have al ready signified their Intention of signing up. They are: 20-30 club. Gold Seal Brewery, and the CCC head quarters. There may be more before the season get far under way. With the Office Boys, Jennings Tire. Lamport's. Active club, high school, Campbell's Dairy, and last year's Texaco outfit, the total brings a 10-team league into the picture for the first time In the history of Medford kitten-ball. All of those teams who Intend entering are asked to meet Wednes day, April 3, at the Office Stationery and Supply company store on West Main street at 8 o'clock. At that time the date for the flrBt game will be set. and pairings win be made for the first division of the series. Interest Is at a high pitch for this year's games, and most of lat year's outfits will have approximately the same personnel this year. The Campbell Dairy bunch is composed mostly of high school stara who played for other squads In '34. With the exception of tennis and greyhound racing, it has been esti mated that kitten-ball draws more interest in California than any other sport, and the same condition Is rapidly coming to the fore here. According to Sam Cclton, a sort ol unofficial "godfather" to the league, this season promlf.es to be the most successful ever played In Medford. DRAW IN SALEM BOUT SALEM. Marrh 27.

In most cases where bowlers use narrow span, they develop the habit of carrying most of the weight of the ball on the thumb, by "bury ing" In hole. This is detrimental to best results. If a bowler with this habit should decide to change to a wider span he should reverse his way of taking hold of the bail by putting finger in hole first, the Joint of finger to edge of hole, which gives natural hold against wall of hole, and place thumb in last, down to a comfort able position, letting the ball hang without squeezing (see photograph 3.

(Spl.) During the past year the sporting world has witnessed many Innova tions In the way of athletic events, chiefly among which has been the advent of Masked Marvels. While their field of activity has been confined principally to the grunt and groan industry, they have gradually expanded operations to other lines until now one has finally entered the golfing field. This pioneer of the dlvet world Is now entour with Texas as his start ing point. It Is reported that If his first few engagements prove to be successful from a financial stand point he will continue his tour through southern California and up the Pacific coast. While the Identity of the "Marvel" is not known, It is rumored that he la a nationally known professional or amateur who has been playing in many of the major winter tourna ments on the Pacific coast and the southwest. He is willing to meet all comers In playing the orthodox game either on a medal or match basis. However, his speciality is in the play ing of trick shots or exhibition rounds other than In the convention al manner. Many of the larger city clubs are anxiously awaiting success of his venture before bidding for his ap pearance. 4 LEAVENWORTH. Kaa., March 27. (TP) Brigadier-General Herbert J.

GULBE LEAD Expert's Wife Says Rabbit's Foot Caused Turn in Luck He Credits System Last Rubbers Bring Lead By TOM HAOENBITH AMocfatrd Press Staff Writer NEW YORK. March 27.- (AP( A decided turn In the fortunes of war has given Mr. and Mrs. Ely Culbert son the lead in their contract bridge battle with Mr. and Mrs. P. Hal Sims with the match only two days old. The Culbertsona went today into the third day of the 150-rubber bridge marathon with a lead of 17S0 points, the result of clean sweep of five rubbers played last night. Each side won seven, rubbers. A difference of opinion aa to the cause of their success developed be tween Culbertson and bis attractive wife, Josephine, at the end of last night's play. Wife Credit's Rabbit Foot Mrs. Culbertson contended the turn In luck was due to a rabbit's foot she received during the dinner recess and which she had with her during last night's playing. "Nonsense." replied her husband. "It was the system." It may have been possibly a swing of aces and kings to the Culbertsona, for In the 30 hands played last night the Culbertsons held 71 aces and 04 kings aglnst 49 aces and 56 kings for the Simses. Whatever it was, the Culbertsona sailed through the five rubbers to overcome a substantial Sims lead. Starting the afternoon session with a lead of 2200 points from the first night's play, Sims and his wife cap tured four of the five rubbers of the afternoon to send their lead to 4730 at dinner time. Their greatest mar gin, however, had been 4820 points at the end of the second rubber of the afternoon and the sixth of the match. i Take Early Rubber An Indication of the turn in Cul bertson luck came at the start of the evening's hostilities when Ely and his wife took a 700-rubber with two successive game bids at no trump. They followed this with a gain of 2040 points on the next rubber and picked up 1 150 on the next, cutting the Sims' lead to 830 points. In the 13th rubber, Culbertson forged to the front when he bid small tslam In hearts and took every trick. The Culbertson plus on this rubber was 180 and they took the 14th and last rubber of the night by 400 points. EAGLES BASEBALL TEAM WILL START The crack of bats will unofficially open the 1U36 baseball season In Medford Sunday when the newly or ganized team being sponsored by the Eagles lodge starts practice at the senior high school field on South Ivy street at 1:30, according to Elmer Adams, chairman of the Eagle base ball committee. Adams is being assisted by "Scoop" Puhl. and "HooBler" Hoffard has been named as manager. Hoffad, the grand old man of local ball, who has been smacking them over the top of the nickel seat section for several years, sees good prospects for a fine season this year.

It has been announced that the Eagles will sponsor a dance to be held sometime the first of next week. When the equipment arrives, regular practice sessions will get on' der way. To get away from the Incon venience of playing at the fair. grounds field, an effort Is being made to secure the high school field for all the games. Some of last year's stars have practically refused to play the mountatn-goat role again this year uy dodging the fair-ground rock piles, with the always Imlnent dan ger of breaking a leg or a neck. BUI Calvert, the 18-year-old catch. Ing sensation of last year will prob. ably sign up. It waa learned, and others who will probably report are "Chief" McLean, and Relnklng. Vlrg swanson. Jack Hughes, Bill Courtney the first base flash, Paul Hess, 8ow ers, Donovan, Hoffard and other. Anyone Interested In playing hard ball with the outfit Is askod to re port for the Initial practice Sunday. No name has been chosen for the squad yet, but that formality will probably be disposed of when the first meeting Is held. There will be a meeting sometime next week, In all probability, to arrange league games, and othor business matters. SAVOLEH TAKES LEWIS SAN FRANCISCO, March 27.

Similtr itniti rttttming I On way $C59 35 The first hint on the part of the weather that budding young football players would not be frozen to death In their tracks, last night brought out about 35 "spring" footballers at the senior high school, for a rigid workout In fundamentals. Only two lettermen from last year's co-champion outfit reported. They were Rey Lewis, who will prob ably get the nod at the signal yelling post next year, and Ray "Stretch" Ettlnger, most likely center prospect. Pennington, from last years Tiger Cubs, was also out. The others were all new men. The candidates who have already signed up are: Ed Valllor, Floyd Bak er, warren Buy It as, Don Root, Snm Richardson, Jim Henry, Howard Scheffel, Keith Estes, Ray Lewis. Ray Ettlnger, A. Walter, Ivan Cobb, Rex Gallnsky, Andy Severson. Ed Carter. Don Wright, Truman Bishop, Kasua Maruyama, L. Pennington, Bud Rose, Don Dodson, Clare Armstrong, Bob Walker, Wayne Perry.

Ray Offard, Arlend Miller, Fred Stevens, Harold Stevens, Albert Anderson, Bert Roberts, Ted Williams, Olen Steuart, Richard Fratey, Wlllard Oliver. Tom Davidson. Bert Luman, Phil Tod and Ray Hensley. As yet no one has shown up as a fullback prospect, but Coach Burgh er has hopes that someone will show promise before the spring practice Is over. He will also have trouble from one end of the line to the other, with the bright outlook being Kune man at end and Estes at tackle, back next year. Where he will get the other end, the coach admits he doesn't know nor where he will get a tackle to pair with Estes. Dlckerson, at running guard, has that position sewn up If he Isn't shifted to the backfleld, but the rest of the big men out can fight for the other guard place, and may the best man win. Scrimmage will start In earnest next week, but until then the squad Is merely warming up tossing pass es, tackling practice, falling on the ball, and punting. With Ray Lewis to throw, and Kunzman to catch passes, that much of the attack for next year la taken care of, but as yet no punter has shown marked propensity for kicking them much over 30 yards. Practlco may develop any one of several for that key position, how ever, Burgher said. Garcia Knocks Out Baby Cans In First STOCKTON, Call!., March 37.
