The girls' basketball team and participators in the literary contest. held recently also were guests ( of honor. o Ty Cobh Thinks Tigers Have Good Chance to Win With any kind of fair breaks in luck, tl.e team that beats out the Detroit Tigers will win tin- American league pennant. That is the same as saying that we hope to win the penant. The New Yrok Yankees are the only team in the league that we fear us rivals. The Washington S- nators did not beat, the Yankese out of the pennant last year. The Tigers payed the way for the Senators into the championship when they beat the Yankees in the last series of tile year. The Tigers were playing the kind of baseball then that they would have played all season if wo had been able to have our full strength on the field with any consistency. The Yankees still have a great team ami if we can keep ahead of them we ought to win the pennant. The Yank s have been strengthened since last season but 1 think the Tigers are also a stronger team this year. Our rewervo material is stronger and anyone who follows baseball knows of what importance it is to have good substitutes. | NEWS FROM THE TRAINING CAMPS Oakland, Cal.

Tommy Millon Preparing For Memorial Dav Race —— Indi map,din. April I.- It mvster .makes the world move swifter, there! ' will be speed galore in the Thirteenth i j International 500-mile race which will' Ibe held at tile Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 3(1. For Tommy Milton, twice winner of 1 the race and the only driver ever to accomplish the feat, has just completed a series of secretive tests nid drives over the Indianapolis track and ! hied himself on to California to in , - corporate the results of his early j season work in the car ho is expected to drive here in May. Milton came to Indianapolis direct I from Miami Beach. Fla., where with . ten other racing drivers lie competed in a motor boat regatta, in which he ■ was second in points scored over , two-day program. Almost before the winter's deposit of snow and Ice had begun to ooze its way from between the brick cracks under the hot poultice of a spring sun. Milton began to wheel his speed creation about the Indianapolis track. Days .before Milton's arrival two mechanics arrived here and had his ear ready for its master's speeding touch. The tests moved off with clockwork precision, all stops being made on the back stretch, where whatever adjustments were being made on the car. were carried on behind a gaze shielding array of can vas. Just what Milion was attempting to prove could not he ascertained, but when the results were completed and he was ready to leave there was a broad smile on his face that was tempered only by twangs of pain whenever he moved his vibration wracked body. 0 Where Famous Ring Terms Were Originated Every day wo hear expressions—l a;.d us<- them, ourselves —without! stopping to think or wonder whence they came. That is as true of prize ring sayings as it is of other expressions that dot our everyday life. For instance, "knockout,” so common now-1 adays. had its origin in 1881, when I ihe famous John L. Sullivan used it. That matter of record is among many interesting facts disclosed in this week's Liberty in The Life Story of John I* Sullivan, by Joe Dorney and Sid Sutherland. The story records the fact, that the ‘ amazing ring feats accomplished by I John L were so taking New York i and the country at large by storm that ' the sporting page, now such an important feature of every daily newspaper, came into existence, with baseball scores, racing news and similar items grouped around the stories of i Sullivan’s ring activities. The account continues.: “ ‘Well, if New York must have new toys,' Sullivan said, let's bet '< m there isn't a man here or anywhere on earth that 1 can't knock out in four rounds. And if I don't do it the promoters needn't pay me anything either.' "We've used that word 'knockout' full many a lime since John Jj. Coined I it that day, even if now we hear lessin fact, not a word -about that busi'ness of fighting for nothing. Much ‘ shall be told about th? Big Fellow's i I willingness to light for nothing, as ■ i contrasted with the mercenary medilocrities of today.” - - Making Many Improvements ' At Edgewater Park, Celina Celina, Ohio. April 4— Many im- . provements are being made at Edge- ! water Park here in preparation for I j the opening of the park season on i April 16.

Veeck admits McAuley isn’t the hitter he should be, hut Manager Killefer wanted the player after Maranville was put out because some real fielding strength, not to mention experience, was neded on the infield. A a di t'i iidve player McAuley is said to fie as agile as they make them, and as he has he<-n playing nail for longer than he cares to admit, he naturally isn't going to be bothered tiy the glamour of the big show.
