THIS YEAR
Dick Bartell, Little Fellow
With Big Voice May Be
Tonic New Yorkers Need
Big Four Kept Intact
By A lax Gortn.
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."

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

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.

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

During the past year the sporting
world has witnessed many Innova

gradually expanded operations to
other lines until now one has finally

This pioneer of the dlvet world Is

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

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

years, sees good prospects for a fine
season this year.

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

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.
