2,000 ACTIVE IN IT Pulling Squash Now a Pastime for City Average Man No Punches, By James Zerilli T5 1 0 Sam beat Frank in eight of 12 games that Sunday and, conse quently, there was a $20 profit for us. During the week we met Sam and thanked him foe the tip. "This Sunday," Sam said, "put $5 on Frankie in each game. I may win at the start but stick with him all day." We were about to say, "Are you kidding?" when Sam added: Some guys give stock market tips; I'm giving you one without the necessity of cutting In a broker." Frankie won 10 of 14 games that Sunday. The 'sure' thing eventually exploded but not until quite a number of the loyal followers got well nicked.

Only by accident did the followers finally get hep to the fact that Frankie and Sammy knew in advance who was to have the winning day when they clash- ed. And their stooges bet accord ingly. THEN THERE was the chic, young lady who bet a ringsider that the inexperienced, handsome youth would beat the veteran with the murderous punch. "I'm putting $10 on the youngster because I think the old geezer will fold up," she declared. "But the boy is having his first pro fight and that old geezer, although he has seen his best days, will practically ruin that boy," the man said.

For eight rounds, the old fellow gave the boy an unmerciful beating. But in the tenth the oldtimer started to fade. The boy, badly battered and bleeding, landed a few mild body punches and lo and be hold, the veteran hit the canvas for the full count. "You sure knew something about that light," the man said, paying off his bet. "What's the slant?" To which the chic lady replied "I did have an edge on you; that old geezer is my husband.

There a moral, you chronic bet ters, in these two items. You don't have to be of voting age to get it. Brooklyn Sells Sunkel to St. Paul NEW (JP) Outright sale of Pitcher Tom Sunkel to St. Paul, of the American Asso ciation, was announced, by.

the Brooklyn Dodgers. The 32-year old southpaw won one and lost three for the National League club in 1944 and also -compiled an 11-7 victory mark for the Montreal farm club in the International League. Sunkel had big league trials with the St. Louis Cardinals and New York Giants.

Toledo Gets Pin Meet SAGINAW (j?) Central States Bowling Association awarded its 1946 tournament to Toledo. No date was set. AT 8:30 ers i Wings Plan Puck CKnic Meeting for Amateurs Is Set for Feb. 19 An amateur hockey clinic, with the Detroit Red Wings acting, as professors of legalized mayhem on skates, will be held at Olympia Feb, 19. Manager Jack Adams, of the Wings, arranged for the event in co-operation with Hubert Johnson, supervisor of athletics for the Department of Parks and Recreation.

The Wings hope to increase the growing interest in Detroit amateur hockey. THE WINGS will not only give out plays and hockey strategy for the amateurs," Adams said, "but they also will illustrate the difference, between legal and illegal play." We know that many amateur teams go out to play with little or no instruction and we hope to help them." Of course, the Wings would be only too happy to have a few of the Detroit amateurs develop inU major league piayers. Amateur hockey in Detroit was dealt a blow several years ago when the City High School League stopped operating a circuit. Many of the boys who would ordinarily be playing in high school now are competing on various amateur teams. "THE CLINIC will start at 6 Adams said, "and we hope to make such meetings regular events for players, coaches and officials." Although there are several Amer ican-born players in the National League, most of the big time operators are Canadians.

There are no Detroit-born men in the NHL. Adams would like to get at least one for some future Red Wing team. The Red Wings have two games this week. They will pl'y the Bruins in Boston Sunday before returning to Olympia to meet New York Wednesday night. Detroit has beaten Boston the last 13 times the team's have met.

Odd Horses Okapi, twice winner of the Toboggan Handicap, chewed tobacco; Sir Huron ate pie and Bonnie Omar developed a taste for sarsa-parilla soda. Heaclpin The third entry in the argu ment is the All-Star Classic that travels Tuesday nights to all sec tions of the City. One look at the records and averages shows that the All-Star is lagging, but on closer study, one is inclined to believe it is the "toughest" of the three leagues. To lend fuel to the argument, it must be' pointed out that at present only one bowler in the entire All-Star Classic boasts a 200 average. He is Johnny Czimmins with 201.31.

In contrast, there are about 20 bowlers with double-century figures in both the Greater Detroit and Michigan Major circuits. Inasmuch as all three leagues boast virtually the same bowlers, it must then be presumed that the All-Star Classic Is the "toughest" of the three. The reason for this is that the Classic teams bowl under different conditions each time they step the drives. In the Greater De troit and Michigan Major they bowl in the same house each week and are mora familiar with the alleys. If there are any arguments to the contrary, let's hear them.

Badg I'-- I A pair Captures -Mile Event by 50 Yards. ANN ARBOR (AP) The University of Michigan walked away with six first places to dominate the -Michigan Relays.

Hitting the BY W. W. EDGAR FROM TIME to time the argu ment arises around the Citys bowling establishments as to which is the strongest league in the City. There never is a douDt aoouc the women. Their Wednesday night Major League is tops for the simple reason that it embraces a vast majority of the top flight women bowlers.

But when you discuss the men's leagues that's another matter. For instance, the Greater Detroit League 'that bowls on Fridays at Olympic Recreation, long has been known as the City's highest scoring league. Within the past two the Michigan Major that bowls Wednesday nights on Crest Lanes, has come along to question its supremacy. BOXING Jik Jk MON. FEB.

FLAGG states squash is a top conditioner for legs, wind, lungs and heart in fact, for the entire circulatory system. The game can be played well into age and helps release mental and emotional tensions. Squash racquets is played with a dark rubber ball, smaller than a tennis ball but larger than a golf balL The ball is propelled with a long handled racquet that has a surface slightly smaller than that used in tennis. 1 A PLAYER must serve from a specific zone at the back of the court and his object is to hit the ball in such a manner that will prevent his opponent from reaching the spheriod on the rebound. Points are scored similar to handball, with 15 points representing a game.

The ball may be played off three of the four walls which are 12 feet in height. The back wall is only eight feet bigh and a small gallery is usually found above this point. In addition to the two Sidney Hill Clubs, squash racquet courts are available at the Downtown YMCA, the Racquet and Curl Club, the Detroit Athletic Club and the Jewish Community Center.
