RED BIRDS RALLY IN EIGHTH Take Lead in Bismarck H CLEVELAND ADVANCES 1g Canzoneri and Berg to Meet for Title VOSMIK, FERRELL AD INDIAN CLUB Britisher Held 7 to 5 Favorite; 15,000 Spectators Ex- "pected Chicago, April 24—(#)—Tony Can- zoneri, lightweight champion of the world, will match his title against the junior welterweight crown owned by Jack (Kid) Berg of Whitechapel, England, Friday night in the Chicago stadium. Canzoneri, one time holder of the world featherweight championship. will be defending his’ latest title for the first time since he won it from Al Singer last November, and if the betting odds are indicative of the out- come, the lightweight title will take 18 trip to England the next time Berg goes home. The slambang Britisher Friday was held a 7 to 5 favorite to defeat the New York Italian by a de- cision at the end of the 10-round en- gagement. Canzoneri’s title was dragged into the argument when Berg, who has done his fighting at 138-40 pounds, made the lightweight limit of 135 pounds to get a crack at the more ex- pensive crown. Canzoneri, however. believed making the weight hed done the Britain no good and was confi- dent he would win by a knockout within five rounds. Berg, who scored a decisive victory over Canzoneri in New York before the latter won his title, said making weight had done no harm and that he expected to repeat. Both are aggressive fighters and the meeting Friday promises to pro- vide more action than any light- weight title since the division cham- pionship began bobbing around like a cork on a wave.’ However, in spite of the prospect of a great fight and an excellent supporting card, the atti- tude of the customers, especially the one and two dollar ones, has been pathetic. Where the last lightweight title battle, between Sammy Mangeil and Canzoneri, then challenger, drew in excess of $136,000, Friday night's pro- duction may not attract more than 15,000 spectators and $65,000, with the seats scaled at from $2 to $10.80, including tax. The supporting card will include six of the outstanding youngsters in the lightweight division. The semi- final eight-rounder will be between Tony Herrea, Mexican puncher, and Steve Halaiko of Auburn, N. Y., while Barney Ross of Chicago, will tackle Lud Abella of Spain, and Harry Du- blinsky, another promising Chicago- an, will meet Roger Bernard, rugged Detroit lightweight, in eight-rcunders.

Fight Prediction German Heavyweight Expects to Wear Stribling Down in Battle French Lick, Ind., April 24—(>)— ‘¢,,|Max Schmeling, present king of the Neavyweights, believes the “best man” will win nis bout with W. L. “Young” Stribling at Cleveland July 3, but of ’ | course he believes Herr Maxie himself is the person to whom he is referring. He has seen Stribling fight, and es not hold him lightly. He knows the Georgian is strong and tricky, but the German expects to wear him down over the 15-round route. He doesn’t believe Stribling will hit as hard as Jack Sharkey did. “I think it's going to be a good fight in Cleveland,” he said. He ad- mitted the possibility of losing, of course, and said in that event he would fight three or four more times in this country to merit a return match with the champion next sum- mer. Schmeling does not rate the man- mountain, Primo Carnera, so highly. The Italian is scheduled to meet the winner of the Schmeling-Stribling en- counter, “He's a good man, of course, for his size, but he doesn’t seem to have much hope of getting to the top,” Max said. “You know, he isn’t fast enough.” “Sharkey? well, he’s getting too old. When a man gets past 30 and doesn't fight more than once a year he has a hard time getting in shape.” AMERICAN LEAGUE Won Lost Pet. New York . 6 2 4.750 Cleveland Washington . St. Louis .. Chicago .

And Cleveland’s playing so far has shown they have a good reason for th School Inter- TO SECON that fear. Escaping the season’s first general deluge of postponements Thursday, the Indians won their sixth game in nine starts to take undisputed pos- session of second place. Wesley Fer- tell, star hurler of the fine Cleveland staff, gave the Chicago White Sox just five hits to win his third victory of the season by an 8 to 2 score. Be- une him the Indians hit safely 13 es. 2 This was just one sample of how Cleveland has been going through the early games. Ferrell has hurled two! full games and parts of two others, winning three and losing one. Brown, Harder and Hudlin also have given Cleveland some good hurling. The battery, with the recruit Joe Vosmik setting the pace, also has been going at a great clip. Only three times in their nine games have the Indians failed to connect for 10 or more hits. ‘Thursday's other game produced a tight battle between the St. Louis Browns and Detroit Tigers, two teams which have shown signs of being dark horses in the pennant race but have not had much chance to display the degree of darkness. They have met five limes so far out of six games for the Browns and eight for Detroit and the standing between them is 3 to 2 for St. Louis despite Thursday's defeat. Tom Bridges, the Tigers’ recruit hurler, had the better of the mound duel with southpaw Walter Stewart, who pitched his third full game of the season. -Bridges allowed only four hits and Stewart five, two of which came together to give Detroit a 1 to 0 decision. ‘Three successive post- ponements apparently had _ taken some of the sharpness of the Browns’ batting eyes, for it was the first time they had fallen Xelow eleven hits a game. Rain and cold weather throughout the major league portion of the coun- try caused the postponement of all [| National League games and two in the American. Big Ten Nines Busy This Week Wisconsin to Meet Chicago; Northwestern Clashes With Minnesota Chicago, April 24.—(>)—Wisconsin’s baseball team came to Chicago Friday to open its defense of the western con- ference title, while Minnesota and Ohio State faced the opening of their campaigns against Northwestern and Indiana, respectively. ‘The Badgers had their pitching ace, Jake Sommerfield, who helped Mau- rie Farber hurl Wisconsin to the, title, ready to pitch against the Maroons Friday.

D PLACE IN AMERICAN LOOP Giants Are Preparing for Soldier Tilt SHIRES’ BATTING HELPFUL TO MILWAUKEE CLUB THIS SEASON ‘Art the Great’ Has .470 Aver- age; Team-Mates Defeat Indians Chicago, April 24—(?)—Charles Arthur (The Great) Shires hasn't made as much verbal noise as usual this season, but his bat has sounded off in extremely helpful style for the surprising Milwaukee Brewers, Amer- ican Association leaders, Shires has a batting average of .470 against spring pitching, and Thurs- day banged out a double in the 12th inning to give Milwaukee an 11 to 9 victory over Indianapolis. The blow was his third of the day in five times at bat. The rest of the Brewers ham- mered three Indian pitchers, Daney, Mulroney and Burwell for 18 hits, while Indianapolis collected 13 off Polli, Miller, Ferrell and Buvid. Archie Campbell df Columbus came up with @ great bit of pinch pitching in the ninth inning to preserye a 9 to 8 victory for the Red Birds over Minneapolis. After Columbus staged an uproarous eighth inning raid which netted eight runs, the Millers came back and with none down and the tying run on second base, Camp-| bell bore down and fanned Riconda, McMullen and Hargrave. The Red Bird assault on Dutch Henry and Slicker Parks produced 16 hits, of which Smith thumped out four. Campbell's pitching act was required after Roy Parmalee, Chap- man and Winters had failed to stop the Millers. Don Hankins of Kansas City and Joe de Berry of Louisville presented the: pitching duel of the afternoon, with the former gaining a 3 to 2 edge. Neither was scored on until the sev- enth when the Colonels nicked Han- kins for two runs. The Blue how- ever, got next to de Berry for three in the eighth and Guy Williams was called in to finish. Toledo and St. Paul were frozen out, making the number of double headers coming up to 10 even. 2,500 Athletes How does one achieve correct tim- ing? ** * By explaining the causes of poor timing I hope to show you how obtain the correct timing. A cause for poor timing is the turning of the body too quickly on the downswing. They call this “hitting too soon.” Eagerness to hit hard is one of the most common faults in the ordinary player, In Clarence Gambler’s game, the turn of the body is delayed slightly to allow the hands and arms to come through. In other words, Gambler keeps his body out of the swing as much as possible. Any player will find he can get better distance and control if he keeps his body out of it until he wants the final punch. How- ever, don’t be mislead by thinking the body should stay out of it entirely. ‘The shot necessitates the natural turn of the body on both the backswing and downswing.

The outfielder will return to the National League champions at a salary of $12,500, an increase of $3,500 over last year. Hafey had asked $13,- 500. Hafey last year played in 120 games and had a batting average of .337, His 150 hits were good for 291 bases, They included 26 home runs, nine more than George Watkins, second Cardinal home run hitter made. Ghost Puts Sign On English Hounds Cockfosters, England, April 24—(/P) —An 800-year-old ghost is putting the Indian sign on Major Smith-Bosan- quet’s hounds, it seems, For the third time one of the fox- hounds has shied near the same spot when out with the pack. The spot is where local legends locate the well in which the Earl of Essex, convicted of high treason, is reputed to have been drowned in 1144. Elsewhere the dog is one of the keenest in the chase. Other dogs in-previous years have shown a similar disinclination to hunt at that spot. Reséarch which has extended over years has finally brought to the Uni- ted States what is expected to be a satisfactory parasite of the Japanese beetle. The parasitic insect, accord- ing to U. S. department of agriculture reports, is known by the high sound- ing name of Tiphia popilliavora Roh- wer. The female of the species is the one which attacks the beetle.
