Syracuse To Have Most Modern Bowling In New Theater Block 4 ' ■ ______________ ' ■_

Management Proposes to Enter Woman’s Team in Chicago American Tournament

When the new W. E. Long Theater and Business Block on Main street here is unveiled in April, the community will be introduced to one of the most modern recreation centers in the state. This establishment, next door to the theater, will feature I a new bowling court with four alleys registered by the American Bowling Association. Nowhere within many miles of Syracuse are there any alleys registered. According to O. K. Bennett, manager of the Recreation Club, the alleys will be official and every score rolled on them will be recorded as an official score. A perfect score will entitle players to an award from the Association. ,

Bennett said today that he is planning to form several bowling leagues, including a women’s league. He plans to enter a team of women in the Chicago American’s bowling tournament in Chicago, in which more than 10,000 women participate annually. The alleys as installed here will be new and in perfect condition. Association rules will be followed at ail times, Bennett maintaines. Bowling over the foul line «on the registered alleys will not be permitted and vaulting the ball is also a violation of good play and of the rules. Many other games and attractions will be a part of the recreation center when it is opened, and the place will be operated the year-round.

Imr&ine driving your car with all ; the windows covered wtih heavy can- ' vas! You probably would never at- i tempt it. Neither would I. Yet, a great many drivers do this I thing during a blinding snow storm. It doesn’t take very long for snow to interfere With the efficiency of the ordinary windshield wiper and also cover the side windows of the car. Winter is here and snowstorms *re us. Be sure that your windshield wiper is in good condition and the the wiper functions properly. Sometimes the rubber becomes worn and a new wiper is necessary. A small cost, but it can save you considerable annoyance and inconveniece. It is also a good siifety measure to see that this equipment is in order. Instead of stopping a minute for emergency cleaning of the windshield, many drivers will continue on their way, trusting to luck that they won’t run into anything or anybody. Do not depend on luck.

Phils to Climb, Wilson Warns

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 20 (INS) —Manager Jimmy Wilson of the Phillies har? given the hot stove league something to think about for the next few months before the boys start south to train for the 1937 major league baseball season. Last year the Phillies wound up in the National League cellar, but Wilson is determined to avoid a repetiton of this fate in the coming pennant chase. He spent most of the Christmas-New Year holidays figuring away to mould his team into an aggregation of ball players that will go places next season. .“One thing is certain,” he says, “I don’t think we’ll look as terrible i as we did last summer. And we won’t finish at the bottom again either, j Real Pitching Staff “We’ve got .a real pitching staff, and we’re going to have more speed in the field' with these young ball : players coming up. They’ll hustle.” jimmy’s goal for the Phillies of i 1937 is a modest one. “I’m aiming for the top of the second div Jon,” he says. . That’s fifth place and at first I

doesn t seem like a lofty objective for as scrappy a manager as Wilson. But Jimmy scorns to kid himself with a lot of futile optimism and takes a realistic view of the situation. “F acts” —1 “Let’s stick to facts,” he says. “There are some sWeet ball clubs in our league. If I could get to the top of the second division this year I’d start patting myself on the back.” He declares the 33 players on the present roster of the club look faster on paper than any other team he has had in years. “They will be a team that likes to play ball,” he concluded. These ■ boys will have the old pepper out 1 there—that’s what I like in a ball : player. The old punch. ” But Jimmy Wilson will have to wait until March 10. when the Phillies start spring training at Winter Haven, Fla., to see just how much : stuff his hopefuls have to show him. In the meantime the hot stove league ’ fans of the club will do their own fguring on where the team will be . when the curtain comes down on the 11937 base ball season.

Syracuse High School basket ball team took a] trouncing from Milford High School Trojans, in a fast and ijough' game before a large crowd of fans at the local high school gymnasium Friday nighj. The final score was Milford 2b, Syracuse 21. The game from the first quarter was a poor exhibition ®f basketball, due almost entirely to I poor officiating.. Fans generally agreq that the game was beyond control of the officials after the first few minutes. There is no attempt to express the view that the officiating was onesided or unfair to ones team or the other. But the officiating was so poor, that the playersi were handicapped, and could net give their best. Plays that should have worked perfectly were broken up by uncalled holding, blocking and clipping. The boys finally reached thb point where they got the ball and started a mad scramble over it. Suclj type of bas- ? ketball is unfair to the players of ooih teams, is unfair tlo the coaches of both teams, and certainly is disgusting to the fans. Takes Early Lead In the first few minkiutes of play Syracuse went into theflead with the score 5 to nothing but as the game became rough, Milford scored twice from the floor and once from the free line. Syracuse scored again from the floor and the quarter ended 7 to 5 With Syracuse ahead. As the second quartet s arted, Coach Neff put Halsey in f< r Niles, with idea of using the large • boy to offset some of the difference n the size and weight of the two teams. Milford scored almost with the tip-off, tying the count at seven nil. Syracuse, from this point did not take the lead again, but fought gamely, against the larger and heavier team. Sensational Shooting « Captain Beck called time out and the score was again tied as Judy made a sensational Lackhand shot from the floor about two feet from the foul’line. A free throw put Milford ahead 10 to 9. A field goal put the count to 12- to 9. Milford m de two more field goals in quick time and the score stood 1 j to 9. Coach Neff took Halsey out' a!nd replaced Neff. , As the count went to 18> to 9 Sj ra- | cuse called time out. On the next < play-, Niles sank a 1< ng shot from ■ the center of the floo ; and the fans came to their feet c leering. Held was fouled by a Mil 'ord guard as . he attempted to make a field goal. Awarded one shot by the officials, he made the basket bringing the score to 18 to 12. jMilford broke through for two baskets one of which was made after the whistle, so the fans seemed to believe, but the score board showed the couit at ?2 to 1: . Another free throw for Syracuse made the count 22 to 13 at the quarter. . Question Dei iisions As play resumed, Judy broke hreugh after receiving a w : ld pass from Beck and made a field goal. Beck followed on the next play with another field e-oal i fter receiving the ball from Held on the break. A free throw made by each team brought the count 23 to 18. Held scored on the next play with a long throw bringing the count to 23 to 20. In the final minutes of play, Milford scored from the floor about the time the referee blew his whistle. Although the timing was close, Svracuse fans believed the goal should not have counted. A foul shot for each team brought the count at ‘he bell to Syracuse 21, Milford 26.
