Sets, Ties Records by Golf Boll Supply It Adequate Most professionals in the district report that there are enough reprocessed golf balls on hand to last the season. This is the result of a campaign carried on at the end of last summer to have golfers turn in used balls for reprocessing over the winter. Not'only did active golfers respond to the request, but retired golfers and boys in the services shelled out also, which makes, the game safe for at least one more season.

Thistle Curling Club Holds Annual Meeting The annual meeting of the Thistle Curling Club was held recently to review activities of the past season and to elect officers for the coming year.

The club reached its 100th birthday last December when appropriate celebrations were held. The feature of the past year was the fact that the oldest active member; W. C. Hodgson, was elected president for the second time. Various reports showed that the club had an active season and the treasurer's statement gave the members good reason for satisfaction with the result of the season's operations and the present condition of the club's finances.

Officers and directors elected for the coming season were: President, C. R. LJndsey; vice-president, W. Lyall Gray; honorary secretary-treasurer, J. A.

Ryan; directors, W. P. Bennett, W. M. Bourke, Lyall Crawford, R.

Yanxee scout, sayt New York has about exhausted its Kansas City and Newark supply lines. unexpected fashion. In these times, his discovery was equivalent to a sourdough suddenly stumbling on gold. On one hole he was forced to pitch over a hill onto a blind green. He played' the shot perfectly and was surprised when he reached the gTeen to find that his ball was nowhere in sight; he figured he shouldn't have been more than, five or six feet from the pin.

Searching the rough at one side of the green, he noticed a squirrel running along a branch of a tree overhead, and in the crotch of the tree he saw what looked like, a golf ball. He shinned up the tree and there in a hollow found his own ball and about 249 others. But all golfers arent so lucky. In the United States, where the situation is not so acute as here, some drastic measures have been taken to preserve the limited supply of balls. At Dearborn Hills, for instance, in the Detroit district, the course has been radically changed.

Anyone who sliced on the 18th hole on this course went into the river, which the pro decided was an unfair penalty in these days. It was necessary, to reconstruct No. 4 and put in a new No. 5 and to renumber the remaining holes, so that what was once No. 17 is now No.

18. The pro also chopped down trees on several holes to make the fairways wider, which is only common sense. After all, you can't play tie game without a ball Jules Huot had a suggestion to make at the R.C.G.A. meeting about eliminating hazards on Canadian courses that were ball snares and said that he intended to alter the Quebec City course where he acts as pro. Greco to Resume Ring Career Pit Audette announces that Johnny Greco, who Is no longer in the Army, will start training in a local gymnasium a week from today with a view to resuming his boxing career.

Greco now weighs 15S pounds, which is just about 20 pounds In excess of the lightweight limit, the division he campaigned in prior to his enlistment. The extra poundage doesn't worry Audette. "Boom Boom Mancini weighed 180 when he came out of the Navy a little while ago," said Audette, "and he's down to 142 now." Mancini is the boy who gave Dave Castilloux a licking here back in November, 1941, and he too -was a lightweight. Audette infers that if Mancini managed to shelve almost 40 pounds, Greco shouldn't have any trouble whittling off half that amount. There is no dough to be made around here, so the assumption is that Greco will eventually return to New York and main events under Mike Jacobs' promotion.

Considering the scarcity of boxers, there isn't any doubt that he'll be given a rousing welcome. He had quite a following down there before a service callup interrupted his boxing. Gossip is that Audette has a new managerial contract with Greco and that he has recently secured a manager licence from the New York Athletic Commission. This being the case, he will hardly cut in any New York managers as he did before when he hired the Elkin brothers to look after Johnny below the line. He won't even hire a trainer, so fearful is he that somebody will try to steal his fighter.

"There's a trainer out on the coast I might get if he returns to New York," Pit said yesterday. "He comes from the East and he's a friend of mine." Pit also says that Florian Blbeau. Canadian flyweight champion, who was belted out in the first round of his bout at Hollywood with Luis Castillo, Mexican flyweight titleholder, was offered a return bout in Mexico City. The offer was declined. He is a little vague on the subject of Bibeau's future, but claims he has motion pictures of the fight with Castillo which show that his boy made a battle of it 31,057 See New York Tri umph, 2-1 and 3-2; Bonham, Borowy Victorious Hurlers Washington, April 30.

Yanks counted twice in the first on singles by Metheny and Nick Etten, Johnny Sullivan's error and a pair of walks.

In the fifth, Metheny led off with a single and circled the sacks on Don Savage's one-baser and an outfield fly.

UP) The dinkiest kind of a scratch hit was the only safe blow in a seventh-inning three-run outburst which gave Philadelphia Athletics a 3-1 verdict over Boston Bed Sox today in the second game of an American League doubleheader. Tex Hughson, making his first start of the season, won the opener for Boston, 3-2. Emmett O'Neill, who had blanked the A's until that inning, opened the seventh by hitting Bill Burgo with a pitched ball. Bob Wilkins attempted a sacrifice bunt and the ball hopped over O'Neill's glove for a scratch hit. Luman Harris walked to fill the bases.

After Jo Jo White popped out, Skeeter Newsome messed up a potential double play, allowing two runs to score. Harris came in from third on O'Neill's wild pitch. The Boston run came In the second when Bob Doerr singled, stole second and came home on Bill Con-roy's single.

BROWNSWIN AGAIN Take Nightcap from Ohisox, 5-4, Lose Opener, 6-5 Chicago, April 30. St. Louis Browns suffered their season's second defeat today, 8-5 in 10 innings, in the opener of an American League doubleheader with Chicago White Sox. But they came back In the nightcap to record their 10th success, 0-4. A crowd of 6,602 saw the games in Comiskcy Park; Leroy Schalk won the first game for Chicago with a 10th inning double which scored Guy Curtright from second after the Browns had tied the score with three runs in the eighth.

In bis third start of the season Orval Grove was driven from the box by the Browns in. their eighth-inning uprising and was succeeded by Gordon Maltzberger who was credited with the triumph. Bob Muncrief. the St. Louis starter, was relieved in the sixth when the Sox grabbed a 5 to 2 lead, aided by Hal Trosky's second homer of the year.

The Browns broke a 2-2 deadlock with a pair of runs in the sixth inning of the second game, when Don Gutteridge doubled to score Frank Mancuso and Newman Shirley. They tallied one more in the seventh on Vern Stephen's homerun for a 5 2 lead but the Six countered with a pair in their half of the seventh to chase pitcher Shirley from the mound. The Sox made-only seven hits off Shirley and George Caster, who relieved him. St. Louis 200 000 030 05 7 1 Chicago 300 002 0001 11 0 Batteries: Muncrief, West 7), Continued on Page 19.)

But only last summer Pepper Martin, while managing the Rochester Red Wings, charged Shag with taking all the fight out of the "game by endowing his umpires with too much power.
