The Bears shoqk their heads almost as if to say, "What's the use?" and, as the third quarter developed, the answer came. There just wasn't any use. The Indians ran through a string of nine straight points and coasted home with subs playing the major portion of the final quarter. The Lowell 130 pounders were better to watch. They worked plays to perfection and almost at will to run up their fourth straight win, 44-28, over the Bear lightweights.

QUEEN HELENE THEN AND NOW! It was Helene Madison, queen of the swim-ming world and holder of sixteen world records when the picture at the left was taken in 1932. It was little "Queen Helene" who was being helped on with her stockings, however, as the picture at the right was taken yesterday in Seattle.

The former swim ming queen is now Mrs. Luther C. Mclver and her daughter By PRESCOTT SULLIVAN From all accounts, that was quite a show Willie Ritchie, the ex-lightweight champion, put on before the State athletic commission in Los Angeles last Saturday. Ritchie reaffirming his decision to quit his Job as chief inspector for the commission because of "rottenness in the fight game" spoke for forty-five minutes and according to our returning scouts, ha spared his listeners no emotion. "He gave 'em everything, one of our operatives informss us.

"Everything from hysterical laughter to great, big tears." Ritchie's wild-eyed intensity caused some snickering among the audience. After one particularly dramatic outburst, some of the 'boys in the back of the hall, broke out in loud guffawing. "What's the matter? Do you think it's funny?" the nettled Ritchie demanded. "Hell yes," his hecklers answered. Then they laughed some more.

It was the consensus that Ritchie might have made a more successful appearance had he remained more composed. As it was, some of those present failed to understand what, if anything, the guy was driving at There was too much feeling, not nough clarity in Ritchie's words, Our agents report At one stage of WILLIE RITCHIE He Put on a Show the proceedings, Ritchie reached into his coat pocket and whipped out a picture of his son, who is a professional ice skater, "Look at my boy," Ritchie bellowed. "Just look at my boy this fine boy. "How can I face him? How can I ever face him?" With that, Ritchie buried his face in his hands and assumed an attitude of extreme mental anguish. None could figure what it was all about.

It wasn't at all clear what connec tion Ritchie's son possibly cojild have with the boxing game in Californiarotten or otherwise. Many of those present charitably assumed that Ritchie just wasn't himself that he was saying things he didn't mean to my. They remembered that he was under a great strain. Rotten gamblers, he had said, were ruining the game he loved. It Is quite possible that Ritchie was overwrought.

Coulrt it hp thnt Tlitrhie has man so much crookedness In boxing that he doesn't trust anything any more? That's the only explanation our ecouts couia give us ror his caning the Booker-Moore setto a "fake." Mr, Joe Blumenfeld, theatpr man who recently acquired a half interest in the Oakland baseball club, yesterday caused the following ad to be inserted in the help wanted. male, columns of the Oakland pa pers: "Wanted.

Professional hall players. Thoroughly educated. Phone, J. Blumenfeld. ORdwav 7107." An unusual ad, that one.

We can understand Mr. Blumenfeld's need for ball players but why the consist ence on a thorough education? Possibly Mr. Blumenfeld, who is new to baseball, is confused. It would seem that he intended to ad vtrtise for "smart" ball players ratner tnan educated ones, but in his newness to the game he failed to make the distinction. There is a difference, you know between a smart ball player and one who is thoroughly educated.

Many college graduates are complete dummies on the ball field. And some of the game's smartest players never got beyond the fourth grade. In all probability, Mr. Blumenfeld doesn't know that Shoeless Joe Jackson, one of the game's all time greats, could neither read nor write. It appears that someone should tell him, also, that "Babe" Ruth did all right in baseball without a college degree.

As great baseball players go. Joe Di Maggio is more in keeping with the "thoroughly educated" ideal. Joe did a year or so in Junior High School, although we can't say that he distinguished himself as a scholar.

Moore had the better of the sec ond heat when clipped McDaniels with two snappy right handers as he bounced off the ropes. Jimmy wasn't able to do much in close and Moore held the upper hand by outboxing his foe at long range. in the third Moore got some clean shots with both hands to McDaniels jaw. Once he seemed to rock the Irishman with a sharp right Near the end of the round, McDaniels got to the body with telling blows. BLOODY ROUND.

The boys really turned on the heat in the fourth, which developed into a free swinging canto. Mc Daniels started off by nailing Moore with a left hook to the mouth which brought blood. He also brought blood from Moore's nose later in the round. Jerry, however got in several effective wallops near the end of the session, one uppercut tilting Jimmy's head back. Moore took the fifth by stepping around and flashing out with brief rallies.

His punches were sharper than McDaniels. After McDaniels nearly upset him with a right flush on the chin early in the sixth, Moore came back to outbox the Irishman and grab an edge in the round. On aggressiveness alone Mc Daniels earned the seventh. He kept on top of the running Moore and several times dug solid left hooks into the colored boy body, One, in particular, doubled Moore up. McDaniels really gave Moore a thorough going over in the eighth, a round in which he hit the New Yorker with an assortment of punches to the head and body.

It was McDaniels' hooks into the body that seemed to do the most damage. The ninth was exciting as the previous session. Moore started off fast but Jimmy evenel matters by rallying toward the finish with a driving attack to the body. Moore came xn to take the final round by beating McDaniels to the punch in a number of fast exchanges. Moore save enough for that last round and when Jimmy tried to put on the pressure Moore stayed right with him to grab the edge.

TAYLOR TRIUMPHS. Freddie Taylor, young Colorado lightweight prospect, registered his fourth straight victory in the local arena when he won a technical knockout over Nazario Cortez, will ing San Jose boxer, in the fifth round of the semifinal. Taylor floored Cortez just before the bell ended the fifth with a bar rage of body blows. When Referee Billy Burke reached the count of seven, the bell rang. Cortez' sec onds told Burke their charge would be unable to come up for the next session.

For four sessions the pair staged a lively setto, both giving and taking plenty of punches. However, Taylor, who poured 'em into the midsection without a letup, had his foe exhausted before he put him on the deck. Taylor weighed 135 Cortez 140. WADE WALLOPED.

They just couldn't match Ken Leslie and Bill Lau who hit twelve and eleven points, respectively. Nor could they work with any degree of success their short passing game once the Indians set on defense.

The Indians followed the usual procedure. For a quarter they fussed around, wasting a lot of time passing the ball back and forth outside so that they were leading by only 7-5 as the second period opened. Then Leslie and Lau began to find the range and at the half the Indians were enjoying a comfortable 17-10 advantage. The last few seconds of the first half provided all the excitement.

Napolitano was the ace scorer for the Dons. Jim won the gold watch award by the slender margin of a single point, 70 to 69. Pollard averaged 17 points in four games, Napolitano 171. This season Pollard, playing both the offensive and defensive boards, hasn't been doing as much shooting although he currently is leading the NSBA standings.
