E'JIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII|| 3" 30" ”0W“ lllIIlIIIIIIIIllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIII’ Who was the winner of the first half of the )1ch League season? O O O The above question has been put to us several times since Sunday. It is a difficult one to answer without having protests showered upon your head. In my opinion is is tip to'the [cage directors to decide if “‘iltou and Norwalk must play that game off. If the Norwalk nine should take the measure of the Farmers in a playoff. three teams would find themselves .in a deadlock for; first place. That would mean that there woald have to be more playoffs and if that is kept up when are the teams going to end their season. It is a question that is going to be a hard one for the directors of the circuit to decide and they must be careful, because a false step may mean that one of the teams will withdraw from the league and that would be a shame after such a successful start. 0 O O Fred Biedeli the secretary of the league is of the opinion that the teams will have to play this game off. as they are scheduled to play a certain number of games and it will not be fair to all of the teams un- less these games are played. It Will be a warm meeting when the matter comes up for discussion. 0 0 O In the south where they have a By 'AHERN /«" w.“ folx‘i’é‘ni o‘filER . .GIN9ALOADOF . mild opened; 5% CHANGED A” . .

It would be un- ifortlmlite for Norwalk and rough- ;kccpsio if the policy were followed out ill this case as it would deprive both teams of an opportunity to capture first place for the first half. simply because of weather conditions over which neither of the clubs have any control. 0 O I Jack Delaney is going to take matters easy for awhile. He will not fight until his injured hand heals and then he will probably take on Jack Sharkey. that is if the New York Boxing Commission decides that he can. Jack should have lit- tle trouble putting Sharkey out of the way. as the boy from Boston has never set the World on fire with his ring ability. This bout is. scheduled for the Coney Island stadium. l O O 0 Mike Esposito is new under the management of Ray Smith and Joe Duffy of North Bergen. N. J.

Here's Lillian Cannon standing in the doorway of an ancient military gnardhouse at Cap Gris Nez. France. Lillian uses it as a dressing room. but many from total strangers. who seem to be for me just olit of good sportsmanship. And these letters from friends I do not know are very heartening. Apparently a great deal is expect- ed of me. I hope I may prove equal to these generous expectations. and anyhow I want these good friends to' know I am doing my best and that I am gratefuh Here is a‘ letter from Pittsburgh from a. man I have never met.

I hope this will he conso- lation to you. I would like very much to write you one more letter before you make the attempt. as I am very interested in you. Hoping you will accomplish your undertak- ing. which you will. this is yours as luck." I love the spirit of such letters. They are cordial and full of the tin- cst sympathy. with not a tinge of selfishness in the inspiration behind them. A letter that gave me a good laugh came from Viola. the popcorn girl at Bay Shore Park. who is my dear friend. She urged me to “hurry up andswlm that canal." I wish Viola could be here when a north wind was blowing. and get a good look at the way the sea breaks. and have a feel of the currents and the strain of icy writers. If she did she wouldn't want me to make any undue haste and try this "canal" be- fore I was sure I was fit. I am too busy training to respond personally to all these letters from my well-wishers. but I wish. through the NEA Service and the Evening Sentinel to thank my friends for their delightful support. I really do love, to get such letters because they help to break the monotony of Gris Ne; and the work here. .—.———-———-———-—-—-—— You will find the house you want WHERE else can you find the ‘ combinationofevery‘ essential “ Day” feature—such ”Hydraulic 4-wheel for quick and safe stopping- instant acceleration—Wed ease of in the classified section. b ‘39.? interior roominess —clear, unobstructed vision—real sturdy. oversize construction comfort. .
