THOMAS Joe Louis Shows Fast Six Rounds with Spar- ring Partners CHICAGO, March 31 Heavy- weight Champion Joe ILouis this morning gave three sparring mates a terrific bombing as he wound up his heavy work in preparation for the title bout next Friday night with Harry Thomas. The Brown Bomber pranced through six rounds of sparring bat- tle in a manner which had onlook- ers predicting an early finish for the burly Minnesotan Thomas. The fifteen round engagement is regarded as a tuneup for Louis for his scheduled bout with Max Schme- ling next summer.

MINOR MINORS SEND UP MANY ROOKIES T0 BB Recruits for Big League Clubs Gathered Here, There, Everywhere By l)lLL(;N GRAHAM AP Feature Service Writer from Although it's quite a ieap the lower ss minors to the m: leagues, around 50 ambitious young are trying to hurdle the dis- pring It's unlikely that more than half a dozen can stretch their undevel- oped abilities sufficiently to nego- tiate this running broad jump. Among those with at least a fair chance are Pitchers Jim Bagby of the Boston Red Sox, Joe Krakaus- kas and Joe Kohlman of Washing- ton and “Leif” Errickson of the Boston Bees; Outfielders Paul Barna of the Philadelphia Athlet- ics and George Case of Washing- ton; and Infielders Harl Maggert, Jr., .of the Bees, “Julius” Cisar of Brooklyn and Gene Hasson of the A’s. Sons ef star athletes seldom flash in sports. So it is with interest that baseball folks watch the spring performances of young Jim Bagby, whose dad won 31 games and pitched Cleveland to a pennant in 1920. Jim, Jr., 21, has pitched profes- sionally for three years. son was his best, the slim, 6-foo right-hander chalking up 21 tri- umphs for Hazleton in the New York - Pennsylvania loop. James fought it out on his own for two seasons and then old Jim taught him how to throw the knuckle- ball. It’s quite possible that he may knuckle that sphere past American league batters this campaign. sters tance this Harl Maggert is another “Jr.” who may go places. His pop was a Philadelphia A’s fly - catcher a quarter-century ago. Harl, a third- sacker, played with Asheville last of a scheduled ten round bout in ~ the Hippodrome. .- HEALTH TOPICS TO BE DISCUSSED AT B. P. W. C.

C. to Alaska, as against easterly routes being pushed by central Can- ada. In substance the resolution reads: It appearing to the members of the Juneau Chamber of Commerce | that several routes have beein pro- | posed through British Columbia and | Alberta, Canada, for the construc- tion of the proposed International Highway between the United States and Alaska; that The most westerly route from Hazelton, British Columbia via the ss, Bell Irving and Iskut rivers, would be the most advantageous route to both Americans and Cana- dians; that The next most westerly route from Hazelton, British Columbia, direct- ly northward to Groundhog Moun- tain, via the upper portion of the Babine River, the east fork of the Nass River, and the Klappan Val- ley, appears from the official re- ports of the proposed routes to be the least expensive to constructand maintain, and that it would be of more value to the Dominion of Can- ada, the United States and the Ter- ritory of Alacka than any other more ‘"easterly route; that The two most westerly proposed routes above mentioned would be of the greatest possible value from both an economic and military standpoint; that they connect by navigable rivers, on which trans- World rights e |EFFICIENCY TICKET CONTAINS MEN OF WIDE EXPERIENCE The men seeking office on the “Efficiency Ticket” in next Tues- day's election today outlined their qualifications for the positions they seek !

CASE GROOMED AS SUCCESSOR T0 SIMMONS Rookie Outfielder Figured as Sure-Thing Bet by Manager Harris ORLANDO Fla, March seems that Master George Wa: ton Case is a gazelle, an antelope and a hill-jumping jack-rabbit all rolled into a rookie outfielder. At least, that was the gist of the talk exploding around the Wash- ington training camp where Case is {igured a sure-thing bet tor left field. And, just sort of cifhandedly. the boys say no one will be in = class with him as a base thiaf. Can he dust? Well, Manager Bucky Harris believes he's the fast- est runner in the American leaguo. And the learue has some lads whao can really pick 'em up and lay 'em down going to first. He's so well-proportioned that he doesn't look as b he is. Cace appears lithe and slender but he carries 185 pounds on his 6-foot frame. He handles the ball nicely in the field and Harris thinks he'll bat around .300. Despite all the loud talk the boys are spreading about Case, the jump from Class B in Trenton to the majors till a good country mile. Harris put him under one of the best flycatchers and bas» pil ferers of other years, Coach Clyde Milan, and believes Case will be playing good ball by midsummer as Connie Mack 15 due an ussist b makes good, The youngster 16- :d to the A's three years ago as a pitcher and it was the Tall Tutor who recommended he utilize his speed in the outfield 4 Owner Clark Griffith tabs hint as the best bunter he's seen in many training ses-ions Case ally doesn’t know how o steal bases. He has a tendency o fall on his arm when he hits the dirt and the question otten is not whether he's safe or out, but wheth- er he broke an arm or a leg in the effort So Milan is having him wear those sliding pads thin in practice drills.

If Case mekes the grade—and they're giving him every possible opportunity—it will mean the end of grand old Al Simmons as a reg- ular. Simmons slowed up to a walk last season and Harris wants @« ounger, fleeter man out there.
