Meanwhile.

Business Manager Joe Mathes announced that the local Birds had scheduled a game to be played against the Sayre Shops team in Sayre on Wednesday, July 26. v. xff if Ten Golf Clubs i Of This Section Are Represented Lack of Formal Entry List Makes It Impossible to Check Number of Golfers Entered More than 100 Are Expected to Play 18 Holes of Qualifying Round Today-Match Play to Be Begun Friday Morning Corning Golfers of 10 clubs in the Finger Lakes Region gathered here this morning to tee off in the 18-hole qualifying round of the annual Finger Lakes Golf Association -tournament. Although no formal entry is required before the golfer starts his qualifying round, it appeared likely that more than 100 players would start the battle which continues Friday and Saturday. The clubs to be represented, according to Dr.

E. B. Mc-Andrew of Corning, a former champion of the tournament and chairman for the event here, were: Elmira Country Club, Bath Country Club, Glen Springs, Watkins Glen; Auburn Country Club, Highland Park Country Club, Auburn; Lakeside Country Club, Penn Yan; Shepard Hills Country Club, Waverly; Corning Country Club, Cortland Country Club and Ithaca Country Club.

Their honeymoon will be at Heiligendamm. A religions celebration of the marriage will be conducted later at Saarow, where Schmeling resides. Max, at the wheel of his own car, was cheered by a large crowd at the City Hall. He wore a blue sack suit. His bride was clad in a rose colored dress.

The bridegroom's trainer. Max Machon, was the best man. Schmelinsr returned to Germany June 14, after losing a fight to Max Baer. Cornell Crew Coach Irked by Motorboat Long Beach, Calif. (AP) Mr.

James Wray of Ithaca, who putters around with sweeps and shells even on his day off, was not in such high good humor when his Cornell oarsmen came in from a practice spin on the Olympic course in preparation for the National Intercollegiate Rowing Regatta here Friday and Saturday. Mr. James Wray, in fact, was looking for a' six-gun. The Ithacans were in the midst of a spirited time trial when one of a dozen motor boats, skimming over the course, for no reason at all, ran athwart their craft. One oarsman drew up with a cracked sweep.

"Don't bother, don't bother!" shouted Mr. James Wray as he came ashore. "Let those motors cavort around. But just give me one of those western six-guns and I'll clear this course in short order! The dburse was cleared without the aid of a six-gun, and officials in charge of it, solemn and penitent, promised that it would stay that way during the remainder of the week. vslsh Nebraska State Baseball Loop Pays Its Players $50 a Month, Using Only Rookie Performers Arrangement for the game were nnar frtr the came were made by Mrs.

Leo J. Laux, president of the Sayre Auxiliary of the Robert Packer Hospital. The contest will be for the benefit of the hospital and the Red Wings will donate their services. Mathea also announced that Branch Rickey, head of the St. Louis Cardinal chain-store system, will look over the local elub in competition against Williamsport in Saturday's doubleheader at the Pennsylvania city.

Although there is a deal pending in the Red Wing camp, Mathes said that it had not gone through as yet and was not ready to xeveal the nature of the change. Eddie Dyer, new manager of the club, is expected to take charge of the team on Saturday. Bernie Neis, Red Wing outfielder who was recently released, has been signed as manager of the Huntington, W. club of the Middle Atlantic League. PACIFIC COAST LEAGUE Hollywood 4, San Francisco 3.

Varsity and freshman baseballers at the University of Chicago have petitioned for appointment of the frosh coach, Kyle Anderson, to varsity diamond mentorship to succeed the departing Pat Page.

Although one game remains to be played the two second place clubs have no chance of tying the Meleads for the championship.

In other games played Tuesday, the Southport Athletics scored an 18 to 4 win over the Standard Food Stores on the Southport diamond: the Big Flats nine scored. 8 to 0 over the Southern Tier at Big Flats and Chemung defeated Lowman, 4 to 1, at Chemung.

and sweater, or a coat of one material and trousers of another, the same in which they reported at the league's opening this spring. By mid-summer, they hope to have saved enough from their salaries to buy a new suit of clothes. The aspiring youngsters are so plentiful that 125 of them reported for a try out on the Lincoln team. The manager sat himself down in a big chair in the outfield, much after the fashion of a movie director out on location, and watched the youngsters take a cut at the ball or go through their fielding paces. If he thought they could not make the grade, he jerked his thumb toward the exit, and the hopeless young player took himself away.

It was hard work cutting down the big squad to the 14 players, including the manager, allowed by the league. Game Draws 8,800 New and novel schemes are successfully worked to lure the customers to the games, which are played at night. In Lincoln the other day, a bakery firm bought the night's game for $250, enclosing a coupon in every loaf of bread good for admission with 10 cents. If you didn't buy a loaf of bread it cost 25 cents to get into the game. The game attracted 8,800, which is some crowd for a Class league.

The same idea is worked with other merchants, even to newspapers, which printed a coupon. The players travel around the league in big busses, and eat at restaurants which usually advertise all you can pack in for 25 cents. All four clubs in the league are in a healthy condition, and so are the players. Brand Park Yankees Down Hector Outfit The Brand Park Yankees journeyed to Hector Tuesday and won another ball game by the score of to 1. "Duke" Bernas, pitching for the Yankees, allowed only six hits and would have had a shutout but for a bad throw to the plate.

Philadelphia Ed Madjeski has been doing the catching for the Athletics of late because of an injury to Cochrane and he has been making the most of the opportunity. For nearly 30 games this season he is right behind Cochrane in batting and while not yet as capable, has all the earmarks of being another Mickey within a short time and, in addition, has the confidence of Connie Mack. Madjeski, brought to the Athletics from Seton Hall in New Jersey by Scout Ira Thomas, is one of those players whose name has stymied baseball writers and printers. In the official averages for 1931 he is listed as "Majewski." In box scores he has seen his name appear as Madjeske, Majeck, Mad-jeskie, Maadjeskey and Majeski. The young A's catcher caught 45 games for Harrisburg's New York-Pennsylvania League pennant winners in 1931 after he was signed by Thomas.

His .268 batting average that season didn't figure when he was recalled by the A's and last year hit only .227 for 17 games. He was born in Far Rockaway, Long Island, and makes his home in Elizabeth, N. J. He is a switch hitter. Year Club AB BA FA 1931 York-Hsbg.

The tournament this year will be played over the Drumlins course. The event annually attracts the leading amateur and professional players from the entire up-state New York. All three Elmirans have been entries in the tournament before. Did You Know Last year when President Ramsay of the U. S.

G. A. hand-sd the National Amateur trophy to Ross Somerville, the Canadian, he turned to runner-up Johnny Goodman with the expression, "And Johnny, I hope some day to be able to present a cup like this to you."

knack for fJ Z2'X sjfcl -i ir-4 nirKiwJi Chicago (AP) Strangest of all baseball leagues in America is the Nebraska State League. It is making money! Back of it is an amazing story-While Babe Ruth is, roughly speaking, collecting a salary of $11,000 a month, the youthful players on the four clubs comprising the Nebraska State League receive exactly $50 a month apiece no more, no less. The Nebraska State League is composed of Lincoln, with a population of Sioux Falls, S. 32,000, Beatrice, 10,000, and Norfolk 10,000. Can't Use Cast-Offs Operating on the theory that young ball players fired with an ambition for major league fame, are willing to work for $50 monthly, like a young bank clerk starting to learn the banking business for a small salary, the league is overloaded with ball players.

Collegians, sandlotters, farmer boys, all inspired with the dream to earn big salaries in the major leagues. Under the rules of the league, no castoff players are taken from other league clubs. Neither can a player remain in the Nebraska State League longer than two years. If he does not make good in that time, and pass on to a league of higher classification, he might as well make up his mind that he never was cut out for a ball player.

SERIOUS skin trouble is traced to faulty shaving by the Gillette Skin Clinic. This department, headed by an eminent dermatologist, was founded because of the prevalence of disorders caused or aggravated by shaving.

Avoid irritation, if you would keep your skin clear and free from blemishes," warns the Skin Clinic 'Irritation lessens the self-protective action of the normal skin and favors skin troubles. Be sure to use a sharp blade, because a sharp blade is not irritating to normal skin." This advice, issued by the Skin Clinic, is based upon independent research and a nation-wide survey conducted among doctors and dermatologists. The "BLUE BLADE" is made to meet the requirements of skin specialists. It is extremely sharp 23 to 42 sharper than other blades examined by photo-electric method in a recent competitive test.
