Jimmy wears a big “Ii00" on the

front of his bowling shirt-the am- bition oi every timber crasher-Lndi- eating that he has toppled the pins tor a. perfect score. In fact, he has registered sixteen perfect scores roll- ed in competition under omcial sanc- tion, and he has never kept track of those he has shot in practice or in little friendly tilts.

Jimmy is justly proud o!._anotheir

record which he holds. ,In e. to\u'na- ment in Denver some three years ago he toppled 7,311 pins in thirty coll- secutive games which is an average of something over 243 pins per game. That's terriiic maple smash- ing. Ba/ck in 1911 he set a world tournament record in Toronto when he knocked over 'ill pieces of wood in three games. But when it comes to records Jimmy is almost as well stocked as a mlléili. store and when it’s all boiled down Jimmy attributes his success to control. It's control- not speed-that counts according to the king of the pin topplers. So if youu like to be é’ second .Jimmy look to your control and don’t try to smash up all the pins in every bowl- 1n8 alley in town.

The Terre Haute blond boy, gen-

round, spreading Shaw on the can- vcs._ The referee counted the De- troit boxer out, but Shaw claimed a foul. A physcian was unable to state

A picturesque ngure known where- ever the barigtails are piloted around the course by silk clad jockeys, "Poo" probably looks more like Santa _Claus than Santa Cialis does himself. With twinkling eye" “iid a slightly fed nose, “Pop” 1- s himself as erect as a two-yc-..l-.em colt and gets around with almost the same amount of agility. Constantly smoking a pipe. he weirs a tightly buttoned, slightly faded coat and white denim trousers. An old battered soft hat and a pair of shoes almost as heavy as trench brogans complete a picture which makes "Pop" an outstanding iigure wherever horse racing is being con- ducted. His four great passions are racing, smoking. cock-iigllllng and drinkihg hard liquor.

Leo Dandurand, manager of thc

Canadiens alter the death of George Kennedy, had the same longing for new stars and he traded the veteran and star centre player to Saskatom

for Auriel Joliat, an untrled pro. This move~caused considerable com- ment, but Joliat has come out on top, outlived Lalonde, and still a drawing card for the Canucks.
