Walter J. < Rabbit) Maranvllle.
veteran of 24 years of ma jor league
baseball welcomed Thursday what
most ball players consider the
beginning of the end—a step-down
to the minor leagues.
"I consider It a stepping stone to
the majors” Maranvllle said. ‘Tt's a
chance for me to prove what I can
do as a pilot and should pave the
way for my return to the big show
as a manager.”
“The Rabbit” signed a one-year
contract Wednesday as manager of
the Elmira club of the New York-
Pennsylvania Lague.
Maranvllle. whose diamond career
almost ended when he broke a leg
In an exhibition game between the
Boston Braves and New York Yan-
kees in the spring of 1934. also
plans to continue as a player he
disclosed.
The doughty Rabbit predicted he
would be in 100 games with the El-
mira club Last year after a sea-
son's layoff because of his leg In-
jury. he signed a player's contract
with the Braves but appeared In
only a few games.
The Elmira Job will be Maran-
ville’s second experience as a mana-
ger. In 1926. In his stormy petrel
days he manaeed the Chicago Cubs
for a brief period.
He was sent to Rochester the fol-
lowing year but later returned to
the major leagues with the 8t
Louis Cardinals where he played
some of the best basebal of bis
career.
The Cards later sold him to Bos-
ton where. In the palmy days of
George Stallings’ leadership he got
most of his early experience He
also played with Pittsburgh before
going to Chicago as manager

ALEX MORRISON says:
I know of several Christmas
trees that yielded sets of new
clubs for the golfing members of
the families. In some of the
homes I listened to stories of what
the owners of the new clubs in-
tended to do during the coining
season.
No doubt many golfers have
made resolutions based on bigger

tentions are line things in certain
places at the right time. La golf
they have no place and certainly
no reward. It's one of the tough
things about the game. You get
credit for only what you do not
what you intend to do.

THE LEGS are tough thus season
and they are going to be even bet-

will be back next year. The cagera
due to return are McMinn Stinson

The starting line-up this season
averages a little over six feet Three
of the boys are six feet even and
two of them top 5-1H. Eight of

Claude Dailey of Mission director
of the championship playoff to
make final arrangements for the
title frays.
The contestants In the playoff
will be the Edinburg Bobcats
coached by Bobby Cannon; the
Port Isabel Tarpons coached by
A1 Von Allman; San Perlita.
coached by Tenaha” Robertson;
and in all probability the La Feria
Leos .coached by *'Ch!er Vail.
Should by chance the San Ben-
itans beat La Feria Thursday night
and Mercedes defeat Raymondvlll*
Friday a game between Mercedes
anc La Feria would be necessary to
determine championship of the
Grapefruit clrcu;t.
« • •
THE SESSION of the winning
coaches will ret under way at 11
a. m. Saturday and a torrid dis-
cussion is In prospect. The coaches
have to agree on the method of
elimination and also on site of the
contests.
Advance Indications are that
there Is a wide variance on these
subjects. Some favor a straight
elimination tourney others favor
the double-elimination and other*
want a round robin. It Is a fair
guess that the title games will be
played on either the San Benito
or Harlingen gym court*.
The “antimacassar" or tidy for
chair backs gets Its name from
macassar hair oil. Women of the
last century invented the tidy and
named it antimacassar because it
prevented oily hair from soiling
chair backs.
