Sports Night, Society Night Scheduled t o Attract
Large Audiences
New York, Mar. 10—W—At 8:30 tonight a signal will sound and Mayor Pirorello LaGuardia will roll • 16-pound bowling ball down one of 28 glistening new allyes in the 212th coast Artillery armory.
Two officials will take their places at either end of the foul lines: 28 pin boys will hoist themselves out of danger; and the first- "booster'' squad will step up to open the biggest American Bowling Congress tournament in history.
After the first few days of limited competition, the tournament will run day and night until May 4 while the record entry roll of around 22,000 bowlers is marked off. There's record entry in every division; a record attendance expected during the 58 days, and perhaps a few records will be made on the alleys.
The field includes famous and unknown bowlers from 31 states—another record— and three Canadian provinces. All the big-name pin busters will be there, but there's al ways the chance some unheralded bowler will suddenly get "hot" and walk off with a big share of the prise money toalling $145,000.
To attract the fans who aren't particularly interested in seeing how the famous bowlers do it, Promoter A1 Latin has arranged several special events, including sports night when famous athletes from other fields will appear, and society night, One of the most interesting entries is a team of five blind bowlers from New York.

Pitching Department Strengthened With Acquisitiori of
Lon Warneke
(This to another of a series en major league pennantt prospects.
Daytona Beach, Fla., Mar. 10.—(/P)— There'll be plenty of gas fumes, noise and class with the St. Louis Cardinals this year but whether they can cross the finish line first depends upon their infield.
While the pitching situation has been Improved with the acquisition of Lon Warneke from the Chlcsfo Cubs as a teammate of the great Dizzy Dean, who's certain to be out there chucking opening day, the infield problem has Manager Frankie Prlsch walking the floor nights.
Frlach has eight infielders but of the iot only Leo "Llppy" Durocher to an established regular.
Johnny Mize should do at first. Yet, the second year often is fatal to a hopeful youngster.
Prlsch hopes to use Stu Martin on second, if not'himself, but Martin recently underwent an appendicitis operation and is 30 pounds under weight. Durocher will be at shortstop. At third, the problem is whether Don XJtteridge can fill the bllL
Owen, Ogrodowiki Catchers Mickle Owen, exceptional rookie,
and Brusie Ogrodowski, last year's re-celver, look easily good enough to take care of the catching duties.
Warneke fits into the Cardinal baseball scenery perfectly and Reach's problem now is to find pitchers who can give Dean and Lon the help they must have. Paul Dean reports his sore prm healed but its far too earlj to determine if he can come back to his former heights. Big John Win-ford, an erratic sort, with lots of power, looks like the number four man with SI Johnson, Bill McGee and Jess Haines listed for probably reserve duty. The outfield is well set with the trio—Ducky Med wick, Pepper Martin and Terry Moore.
The club as a whole, doesn't seem to have the punch and power it used to have, but Frisch thinks it will make up for that with greater speed and a tighter defense.

Where Arc Stars of Yesteryear
Baseball Remains First Love 17 By Richard McCann
Greenville, S. C., Mar. 10—Fat as an alderman, Schoeless Joe Jackson is running a liquor store here and, says he is, "doing a very nioe busi-
"I got two autos," says Joe, "and money in the bank. I'm happy."
But he'd be happy here, Joe would, even if business were bad and he were broke. You see, this is home to him. It was here, 29 years ago, that Shoeless Joe, a gangling youth, came out of the backwoods and started so blithely down the baseball trail that was to have such an unholy and un happy ending.
It was here that they gave him the picturesque nickname, Shoeless Jofe. You dont have to coax the oldest inhabitants to tell you how it came about.
Shoeless Joe, the story goes, was pitching one day—oh, sure, pitching, 'cause Joe could do anything on the ball field, except, maybe think—when his shoes (he wasn't it\uch used to them) pinched him and raised blis ters on his heels.
They burned with pain, but Joe wasn't one to quit. He just pulled off those ornery shoes, heaved them over to the sidelines and pitched the rest of the game in his bare feet,
Prom then on he was Shoeless Joe. * * *
Thrown Out of Baseball for Making 12 Series Hits!
Joe is a respected citizen and a be' loved neighbor here. They just cant believe that Joe did anything wrong. Not their Shoeless Joe.
They have all the spirit and none of the doubt which filled the heart of that little boy who trotted alongside Joe as he left the Cook county grand jury room during those disillusioning days of 1920 when the famous White Sox turned Black under the hot glare of investigation, and clutched his sleeve and pleaded:
'Joe, Joe, say It sint so! ... . Please."
The legend doesn't tell what Shoeless Joe said to the boy, but if that lad, grown to manhood now, to in the audience, it might please him to know that Joe says It ain't so.
Joe feels no shame about the happenings of 1919. On the other hand, his proudest memory to of that sorry series.
You see, he was asked what incident, or achievement, did he like to recall now. It was expected that he would say "the .408 batting average I got in my first year in baseball back in 1911." It was a surprise when he said, Quietly and with a bitter smile:
'The thing I like to think of meet is my World Series record of 1919— the one I got put out of baseball for. I made 12 hits in that aeries and

* * * Baseball Still Joe's First Low
Seventeen years have come to bat and gone down swinging since Shoe' less Joe was barred from baseball along with seven Chicago teammates, and in that time Joe has learned how to read and to write and to run a business, but he hasn't learned how to reconcile himself to the bewildering things that happened to him, nor to forgive Judge Kenesaw M. Landto for exiling him from the game be loved.
"Sure," says Joe, "I'd love to be in the game—like to have something, anything to do yith it. But I'd rather be out than to be in and bossed by a czar."
Jackson, who to either 48, 40, or 88 (nobody to quite sure which), played semi-pro baseball around these parts up until a few yean ago.
He tried to get reinstated three winters bade so that he could manage the local minor league club, but Judge Landto, ignoring the' pleas of the Greenville citisenry, kept the doors locked to Jackson.
"I'd sort of like to be playing these days," says Joe, " 'cause I think, with this lively ball, I could give 'em a run. for their money."
• # * Series of 17 Gave Joe Biggest Thrill
He likes to sit with the boys and talk about the old days. Invariably, when he gets to batting memories around he telle about the final game of the 1917 World Series between his m>lte Sox and the New York Giants.
That gave me my biggest thrill, I guess," says Joe. "That was the game when Heinle Zimmerman chased Eddie Collins across the plate with the tying run and, then, with me and Fetoch an base, Gandil hit for two bases scoring us and we win the ball game."
Joe hasn't seen a big league game since 1982, when he dropped into the Yankee stadium one one afternoon while visiting New York City.
'Wish I ooulda stepped up to the plate that day," says Joe, "I just know I ooulda banged one out of the lot. My eyes are as good as ever."
But Joe would have a little trouble getting around the bases. He to almost batting 300 on the scales, tipping the beam, as the boys say, at 280 pounds—66 more than when he was the tenor of the American League.
So you could hardly say Shoeless Joe to pining away in exile.
