"April 30, 1935 fJEVADA STATE JOUBNAE, RENO, NEVADA JPSGE SINE Sport Parade By HENRY McLEMORE (United Press Staff Correspondent) PHILADELPHIA, April --Hie recent "Battle of Washington" between the Buppert Rifles and. the Griffith Grenadiers proved once again that the conduct of baseball players will continue to be unsatisfactory until some recognized arbiter establishes a code of behaviof for the boys baseball needs is an Emily Post All of us can remember how muddled social etiquette was until Mrs. Post feroBfht order out of chaos. In circle it was quite the thine to eat mashed potatoes with bare hands; in another, to handle ponune de terre without was quite, gauche. A man was quite sure whether to snap his suspenders at an in a play, or to show his preasure by stomping his feet Nobody knew for certain whether a lady should precede a cent in a revolving door or allow the gent to go in first and start the thing to revolving.

And if one saw a lady petticoat showed should one (a) blush, (b) turn one's head, or, (c) step up briskly and say "Get it You see what we mean. Everything was topsy turvy. So it is with baseball today Something should toe "done, so, while we are neither recognized nor an arbiter; we'd like to make a few suggestions. Sliding--slide head first whenever possible. When it is absolutely necessary to go in feet first be sure to remove the shoes and slip on a pair of worn bedroom slippers prior to fritting the dirt Never, under any cMtenstances, however, go into i in your stocking feet case of collision on base- this is a very serious iCMch of conduct, corresponding in the social code to sleez- ing into your soup (that goes double for cream of tomato)-the oaiy thing to do is to change the subject at once.

Every player should have three (one for each base) interesting topics on the tip of his tongue for just such an emergency. Suggestions: "Did yon know State building sways three fun Jnehes in a high "Don't yon think Faulkner a trifle Prince of Wales never will marry and is determined to chock his rights to the throne." When opposing pitcher is in tough spot and you are at bat--this problem often arises. The correct and generous thing to do is to swing wildly (Blondie Ryan of tne Giants is a good model to follow) and make no attempt to hit. The pitcher's appreciation (remember, he may be a father) will more than offset thaire brought down upon your head by your manager. When an umuire calls you out on a play you beat by a saying a word arise and off to your dugout, carry- Ing yourself after the manner of dowager buying a down baaa- MS.

The next day it correct to send the umpire (1) a bottle of eyewash, (2) tnve bomb, (X) Edwards standard work "Braille in Ten Easy Lessons." When you are sold to the Boston Red Sox--to meet this emergency players should carry identification cards on their persons at all tunes to that then- nearest relative may be notified at once. THRELKELMEN-SACRAMENTANS OPEN SEASON TODAY Morrison Rooney Wifl Start Work For Rival Teams Czar Baseball will take the high pillow today at Threlkel park in an endeavor to dethrone King Winter Boxing Mentor at 2'30 The Reno Garagemen will whoop it up against the Albert I Elkus' boys of Sacramento. Baseball will begive a more appropriate entry if dependable weather arrives and fans can break each others ribs, rub elbows and help the pop and peanut vendors. The affair will be called on the dot, after three popular Renoites will form the customary setting as honorary pitcher, batter and catcher. A rough gamble on one trying to find the plate (or hit the grandstand), another delivering a swinging zero at the atmosphere and another hopes to stop the heave with his hands and possibly both feet From this point on, two teams managed by successful business men and sportsmen in Albert Elkus and Jack Threlkel will match wits and bite-in their usual clever manned I Reno's stout-hearted amateur box- park has been groomed tike a thoroughbred for the finale derby.

Additional grass has been planted and trimmed at the last moment like a college chap stepping out to his first formal in a tuxedo, and other improvements have set the arena for Old Sol to dish up some kind of weather of the variety. Jack is not entirely convinced as to the conditioning of the boys, due to inclement weather, but he is trotting forth 12 sensible lads who will give their thorough baseball aid and with confidence should take the friendly foe Joe Rooney, who is one of the famous Rooney-GfNeil tribel will be the moundsman for the visitors and his previous baseball knowledge needs no back reference Joe is a product of St Marys, where he was spiced to the arriving quakty and warranted a tryotft in the coast league His mates also hold good credentials.
