THE STANDINGS PYMATUNKVG LEAGUE RESULTS YESTERDAY New Hamburg 5, Greenville Merchants 2. Boston, June John Chicago surgeon, said today youths under 19 should not be allowed to take part in rugged, competitive sports because of possible injury to their still-developing spines. "Change in the shape of the bodies of the vertebrae occurs in young people from over-exercise and competitive sports," he told the American-Association for the Surgery, of Trauma in a prepared address. "This is particularly true in such sports as diving, football, and sometimes baseball, which cause powerful flexion and extension of the spine, and these diseases lead to a deformity of the back called 'adolescent angulation' or 'apprentice an- He said the name "apprentice ang- ulation" was derived from the fact that youngsters employed as apprentices In certain tyjies of work sometimes suffered tho spinal injury, and he declared it was common among boys who worked on farms. tennis balls in quantity lots are being turned out to the keep the game going during tho war.

Governmental rubber rationing has already taken care of the supply of balls made of new crude rubber. There will be no more manufactured for the duration. Collection and salvaging of rubber, the important ingredient, is the first phase of "ersatz" tennis ball according to L. B. Icely, president of Wilson Sporting Goods company.

Salvaging rubber for use in wartime tennis balls, Icely pointed out, is no-different from the'process used in salvaging rubber for retread- ing automobile tires, since the material involved in both instances is the same.

The remainder goes into production of cements necessary in the manufacture. Icely explained a tennis ball consists of the hollow molded rubber ball, to which is vulcanized two dumb-bell pieces of woven or knitted wool felt.

The and edges of the felt are cemented to the molded center to give a bonded unit. The rubber center is molded in halves, which are cemented and vulcanized to the felt application. The principal difference between a tennis ball made of reclaim rubber and one made of virgin rubber, ho said, is a slight decrease in bounce on the part of the reclaimed rubber ball. Also, the reclaim rubber cement, as well as the center, does not have the resilience of the virgin rubber, and in some cases tends to crack and separate sooner. There really isn't enough difference, he asserted, to be noticeable to the average player.

Machine testing and actual play over a two or three, month period indicated the tennis balls made of used rubber are satisfactory in most cases, according to Icely. The service period of a tennis ball depends considerably on several of the player, type, surface on the court used, wheth'eri used in singles or in doubles, and whether played by men or women, or In mixed groups. liast year's tennis ball lasted anywhere from five sets of play up. Several new typo balls have been played by Bobby Riggs for as many as 150 games, at which time the balls were still playable. For a few games, the reclaim balls show a littlo less lifo in the bounce compared with balls made from now rubber.

This is due to the fact that a thicker ball wall has been made necessary because chemical reprocessing weakens the rubber, and also to the fact that, because the rubber is weaker, the air pressure in the ball must be diminished. But, the balls "warm up" quickly. Friction from bounding off racquets and court the air within the ball. The air expands; then, because of the thicker ball wall, tho reclaims become slightly more lively than new balls. New York.

June The Belmont Stakes, which has enriched horse owners by $1,331,540 since its inauguration In 1867, will boost that total by $44,000 today while providing the touchstone that may lure approximately a quarter million dollars Into the Army and Navy relief funds. Alsab, Mrs. Al Sabath's Preakness and Shut Out, the Kentucky Derby champion from the barn of Mrs. Payne Whitney, are the favorites for tho third big crown open only to three-year-olds. Alsab is the top choice, at odds of 3 to 5.

Six others are slated to start but none is figured to keep near the two over the mile and a test Belmont officials expect anywhere from 40,000 to 50,000 spectators for the final day of racing on the spring program at the Long Island plant. If the latter attendance is reached, the betting may approach the record of last Saturday. The track's entire income the day, less only tho purses to the horsemen, will go to Army-Navy relief. The gift will range somewhere in the neighborhood of $100,000, may go as high as $126,000, and the nearby Jamaica track has promised to duplicate whatever Belmont gives. Moose Trip Hubs in Extra Innings Twelve innings were required to settle the City Softball League's first overtime contest of the still young season, played last evening at Riverside Park.

The Mpos'ei Club defeated the Clothiers 3 to 2 in the Marathon affair after the score was knotted 1- all at the end of the regulation seven Innings. Batteries for tho Moose were Galus and Matovlc and for the Hub ten were R. Mohr and Benedetto. After the haft pushed over a single first of the 12th frame, the Moose struck back with two runs to break up the boil gome. Grundon drew a base on balls but was forced out at second as Matovlc reached first on a fielder's choice.
