35 Candidates Turn Out for AHS Hoop Team J©

Opportunity "for Bowling Belles - Don't know How many Amsterdam women bowlers are

: interested but thefe'* a good opportunity for them to take part in a national tournament when the Women's Interna­tional Bowling Congress annual championship is he.d next spring at Syracuse. '

About 25,000 women from the United States. Canada, Alaska and Hawaii will compete in the tourney. The Syra­cuse Woman's Bowling Association, which is handling the affair, wants to break the all-time record of 5.000 teams es­tablished this year in Detroit. This will be, done if New York State's sanctioned leagues turn out en masse.

Mrs Harriet Darling, general chairman of the tourney commit­tee has pointed out in WIBC publicity that the average bowler has as much chance to win as the champion. Teams will,compete against opponents of equal skill in two categories: The Open class for those quintets bowling more than TOO and the Booster class for those with averages less than 700. Averages will be computed as of January 1. Singles and doubles events also are scheduled. The entry fee is So per person per event. Team entries will be $25 for the five mem­bers. Additional information is available from Mrs. Darling. 206 Thompson St., Fayetteville.

Football forecasters are taking to the hills in record number this fall because of what has been described, for want of a better term, a wave of upsets. The 1953 grid campaign likely will enter football's history books as "The Year of the Great Upsets." says the Sporting News. A veteran midwest coach is quoted in the weekly publica-

Unfortunately for the National Basketball Association, the only major professional basketball league, it opens its 'season during the height of football. The opening, therefore, goes virtually unnoticed except in immediate playing areas. Things are going tov be b e t t e r ' ^ s t time in a two-year home and later, however, and the NBA is expecting to surpass last season's attendance, which was 19 per,cent better than that of the previous year. Maurice Podoloff. president of the circuit, lists five reasons why he thinks attendance will be better:

Most of the teams have been strengthened by stars re­turning from the* armed forces . . .. The weaker sisters have been bolstered by the addition of the outstanding In­dianapolis cagers distributed around the circuit . . . Milwau­kee and Baltimore, riding on the wave of major league base-

.ball excitement, are confident the pro cagers also will cash . In . . . Nationally-televised games every Saturday, starting Dec, 12, are expected to heighten Interest . . . The changes In rules, limiting the front court to 40 feet from the end line and penalizing all rear court fouls with two free throws. are expected to cut down on fouls and speed up the game. Otherwise, things are pretty much the same in the NBA. The

tall and talented Minneapolis Lakers are fa\'ored to sweep the hon­ors, even though they were upset in their opener by the Milwaukee Hawks. The Lakers' biggest threat will come from Fort Wayne. The New' York Knickerbockers, Syracuse Warriors. Rochester Royals; Boston Celtics4, Baltimore Bullets and Philadelphia are other clubs in the circuit, A 324-game schedule has been drawn up and there's a possibility the Rochester Royals may play a Jew of their contests in Schenectadv.

WHO'S BEST?

Williams, Musial Arguing Ready to Resume Again

NEW YORK LTV—The argu­ments over whbther Ted Wil­liams or Stan Musial Is major league baseball's best hitter apparently are ready to break out again.

Before the Boston outfield­er reentered the Marines In 1 d'il, baseball observer* spent much of their time comparing the two. Ted's followers claimed he was more of a long ball threat . Those who favored Musial,- said hr was the more scientific batter— he hit to all fields.

Including their 1953 per­formances, Williams shows s mark of .348 and the Cardinal slugger Is close behind with .345. They far out-distance the active big league field in lifetime averages, figures compiled by The Associated Press revealed today.

O v e r a l l , Williams has

pounded out 1.804 safeties In 5,187 tunes at bat. Stan shuns 2,223 hits In 6,437 trips. TWl is ahead In home runs, 331 to 257, and runs batted In, 1.-298 to 1,127. Musial leads Williams In doubles, 467 to 387 and triple* 142 to 62.

Jackie Koblnson. a .329 bat ter in 1953, brought his lifetime mark up to .319 to rank second to Musial In the National League. Richie Ash-burn of the Philadelphia Phillies N third with .312 fol­lowed by Monte- Irvln of the New York Giants with .309.

Cleveland's Dale Mitchell Is rynner-up to Williams In the American League with

Something to Anticipate The visit, here of Vic Raschi on the Sunday following Thanks­

giving Day is something for local Yankee fans to keep in mind. •Raschi will speak at the fourth annual St. Michael's Holy Name Society sports smoker and it's very'likely the organization will have a packed house for tHe Elks Club affair. Up to now the, society has never failed to come up with an outstanding personality as its guest and Raschi, long a pitching standout for the Yankees, is no exception.

What makes it even better in this instance is that Raschi got his start in professional baseball at Mohawk Mills Park in this :ity. He was one of the hurlers on Manager Paul O'Malley's Ca­nadian-American League team back in 1941, coming here after he had finished his student chores and staying to the end of the season. Vic was the studious, serious type in those days. He's come a long way since, but he's still as serious as ever.

Last year St. Michael's affair had southpaw Ed -Lopat. a team­mate of Raschi, as the principal speaker. Lopat, currently touring Japan with a team of major league all-stars, gave an interesting talk and dwelt considerably on "inside baseball." Raschi no doubt will be just as interesting, but being a righthander may have a different llant than that of lefty Ed.

The object is to make the.pur­suit of fleer and bear as safe as possible for both the woods and the hunter. In addition, favorable conditions are needed to preserve the deer, inasmuch as the law permits shooting bucks having antlers only three inches in length—which are difficult to see at any distance against poor light, or thick leaves.
