SPORTS PARADE OSCAR FRALEY NEW YORK (UP)— So you're getting old, huh? You have kinks in your back when you stoop over to pick up the dominoes. Your feet kill you after 18 holes of golf: you like the "before" in a reducing advertisement and your personal theme song has become "silver threads among the gold." Relax and enjoy yourself, Bub, you probably never were in better shape in your life. Solid proof of the benefits of being a physical wreck are a couple of old duffers named Allie Reynolds and Eddie Lopat. The way they're living it up these days in the baseball business, at least, theyre going to make streamlined health a very unpopular commodity. Decrepit Gaffers These two decrepit gaffers, in case you never heard of them, labor for a New York firm known as the Yankees. In any other business they would have been handed a gold button or a silver-plated watch long ago and retired with a handsome thank you, for on a comparative service basis on office life they would be using canes. They might be using them anyhow, one of these days, and probably still be pitching successfully for the Yankees. Reynolds, as example, has more alliments than a charity ward. His pitching arm has a permanent 11 degree bend and it rattles like hot castinets when he moves it. If you had diamonds as big as the chips in his elbow you could get engaged to half the widows in Walla-Walla. He also is afflicted with recurrent muscle spasms of the back and a number of minor aches and pains in various parts of his anatomy. Old Man Indian Allie, despite rumor, was not with Sitting Bull at the Little Big Horn. But he is 38 and in baseball that's just a scuffed bunt from the bottom of the hill. Yet Reynolds at the moment has won six games in a row for the beleaguered New York Yankees—and saved two others. Exactly matching Reynolds' record of six victories against one defeat is Lopat, a pudgy patron of the pitching arts who moves with the same drawling laziness as his so-called fast ball. Eddie packs 185 pounds on a 5-foot, 9-inch frame, which gives him the silhouette of a miniature Bobo Newsom. Aches and Pains Lopat, who bobbed his name from Lopatynski, is listed at a questionable 36 years of age. He has his share of aches and pains, too, and throws more junk than the customers of an old-time Bowery burleycue house. They smack the cover off the ball against him, like Cleveland did in getting 11 hits off him the other day. But somehow they lose, just as Cleveland did the other day, 2-1. The Yankees, shooting for a sixth straight American League pennant, though the young sprouts would do it this time. They gave Reynolds an early season brush and hinted that the creaking Lopat would get plenty of rest all season. But it wasn't long before the old fisthorses had to rush to the rescue, spasms, suet and all. And without them, the club wouldn't be within sight of the lead.

The little sprinter, who has been clocked in the record equalling time of 9.3 seconds for the 100 yard dash, has had nothing but ill luck since landing on these shores. But what he has lacked in racing luck he has more than made up for with his pleasant personality and the ability to say the right thing at the right time in public. Since his arrival here he has been the house guest of Mr. and Mrs. Tom Moore at Modesto. Moore is a top western AAU official and nearly two decades ago held the world record in the high hurdles. "I couldn't ask for a more perfect house guest," says Mrs. Moore. "He helps with the house work, baby sits when I want to go out; mows the lawn and the other day he even helped with the irrigating of the fruit trees." The 22 year old lad has become an accomplished speaker. He has been appearing nearly daily at civic club luncheons. He has a dash of wit to add to is now allowed to open all practice three weeks before first game. reference commissioner Victor Hidt painted an optimistic picture of PCC basketball yesterday when meeting opened.

The 22 year old lad has become an accomplished speaker. He has been appearing nearly daily at civic club luncheons. He has a dash of wit to add to a pleasant speaking voice and has gone over big every place he has appeared. Hogan's aim in coming to the United States, of course, was to get into shape for the British Empire games at Vancouver, B.C., the first week in August. So far he hasn't had much luck. He was beaten in his first effort at the California Relays, just hours after he had stepped off an airliner from Australia. That was expected. Pulled Muscle But he pulled a leg in training. He had to scratch out of the Comppton Relays, then he tried his luck in the Pacific Association AAU meet the other night at Stockton. He was leading in his heat to pull up when the leg started to at the end of 35 yards, then had tighten again. "I was supposed to get a bid to the national AAU meet in St. Louis if I showed well in either the Compton or Stockton races," he said. "Now I don't know what to expect. I'd still like to race there if they will invite me." Hogan, who did all his sprinting on turf tracks in Australia, now has become accustomed to the American clay-cinder paths and the American-type of starting. He has been training steadily under Moore's direction. From what little American track officials have seen of him, there is no doubt that he is the fastest man they have seen in years, at least for the first 50 yards. What he can do after that remains to be seen. Sports Calendar Tonight CHURCH "A" LEAGUE — St. Boniface vs. Grave Lutheran, 7 p.m. Christian Reform vs. Sacred Heart, 8:30 p.m. Both games at City Park.
