Show THE RICH COUNTY REAPER, RANDOLPH. UTAH - - Speaking of Sports Baseball Club By GEORGE A. BARCLAY 'T'HERE are enough Italian boys A in the big leagues to do a Verdi opera, with principals and chorus warbling in the mother tongue. Not that these fellows are singers. Ball playing is their business and their performance on the diamond Is making the brilliance of these second and third generation sons of Italy a tradition in the national game. Take a census of the in the National and American leagues and youll find there are 17 of them and if you add a coach there would be 18 in all. Put them all together on a ball field and youd have a team that with the exception of pitching would be able to hold its own with any club in the big leagues.- Lets start Italian-America- DIZZY DRAMAS ns - Ambers to provide some stiff competition against Henry Armstrong when they fight for the lightweight championship July 26. Experts who saw Barney Ross bow to Armstrong in New. York recently are of the opinion that Ambers will make a creditable showing, but that the whirlwind will win. As long as his speed holds out, Armstrong will probably prove too much for any fighter he meets. Ambers is not as far along the backward trail as is Ross, but he is not likely to prove a match for the swarming tactics of the Negro. Ross announced decision to retire is a wise one. Barneys through, was on everybodys lips the night of his last fight, even though he gave championship exhibition of gameness. Barney, who had never been knocked out, stood the punishment for 15 rounds in spite of the referees desire to stop the fight. And no champion, when he has come to the end of the trail, could feel a deeper satisfaction in his achievements than Ross. Bred in the dingy poverty of New Yorks East Side and reared in the tough ghetto of Chicago, Ross rose to pugilistic eminence by sheer merit. When he won the Chicago Golden Gloves featherweight title in 1929, as an awkward kid, he attracted the attention of Sam Pian and Art Winch, who ever since have been his managers. They handled him shrewdly and four years later had him winning the lightweight championship from the veteran Tony Canzoneri. In 1934 Barney won the welterweight championship from Jimmy McLarnin. In a return bout with McLarnin, Ross was beaten, but came back in another year to regain that throne. He held it against all comers until he met the dusky little Armstrong. tan-color- - year-ol- d JOE DI MAGGIO theres Er- nie Lombardi of the Cincinnati Reds.

For third string catcher, Angelo Giuliani of the St. Louis Browns would do nicely. At first base you would have your choice of Dolph Camilli of the Brooklyn Dodgers or Zeke Bonura of the Washington Senators., Dolph would probably get the call for the job because of his greater speed and superior fielding ability. Second base on this team might be a problem. To begin with, theres Tony Lazzeri, now utility man with the Chicago Cubs. Tony was a big gun for years in the New York Yankees offense and defense and that team seems to be feeling his absence this year. Age would probably keep Tony from playing regularly, so the call would probably go to Tony Cuccinello of the Boston Bees whose fighting heart and fielding skill have helped make the Bees a terror to EAT mi WH 4jou.lt on (foudill Ofijjeti Mote Advice About deducing Describes the Perils of Unscientific Methods for Losing Weight By C.

Don't Diet Without Direction A carefully regulated diet will not only maintain normal weight, but will banish overweight by forcing the body to burn its own excess fat as fuel. Having heard of this scientific principle, many women frantically and foolishly attempt to prescribe their own reoften with disducing diets astrous results. There is always the possibility that one may omit calcium-bearin- g foods and thus impair the teeth, or leave out foods rich in iron - and copper and interfere with the formation of the hemoglobin or red pigment in the blood. One of the most common and most serious errors is to omit all bread, potatoes and cereals, in the belief that carbohydrates are fattening foods. Carbohydrates are required by the body in order to utilize the fats in the diet, and when reducing, they are also necessary to burn up excess fatty tissue. Just as fire cannot burn without air, fat cannot be utilized in the body without the presence of starch or sugar. When the diet insufficient contains carbohydrates, fat burns Incompletely, resulting in the dangerous acetone type of acidosis.
