Wise Money on Paolino TO
Win Tonight.

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, April 1.-Paolino,
Basque heavyweight, was a favorite
in the betting today to win from
Heeney, New Zealand, when they
meet in a ten.round bout here.
Wise money was backing Paolino
on the theory that he was too strong
to be knocked out in ten rounds, that
he would win a point victory by his
aggressiveness If the bout went the
limit and that he could punch strong
enough to win by knockout.
The contest will be another num-

commission that so per cent Of the

Pirates, Reds and Cards
Appear as Best to Billy
Evans.
By Billy Evans,
American League Umpire and NEA Service
Sports Expert


Sports Expert
Five National League clubs, to my
way of thinking, are entitled to be
ranked as 1927 pennant contenders.
The other three must go into the
also.ran class.
In order to get the proposition
more definitely before fandom, I am
going to Immediately eliminate three
clubs-Boston, Brooklyn and Phila-
delphia-from serious consideration.
! cannot hold out much hope for
"Stuffy" McInnis, new manager Of
the Phillies. I fear he Is to follow
in the footsteps Of his predecessors
and finish last. The pennant stuff
simply isn't there.
While 1 cannot figure Boston as
pennant contender by the widest
stretch Of imagination, still I can
see where the Braves have enough
strength to be troublesome.
Brooklyn will get pretty good
pitching and should offer a fairly
good offense, but I fear the stability
Of the infield will be the cause of
much worry for Manager Wilbert
Robinson.
To the Phillies is consigned last
place, with Boston and Brooklyn
fighting it out for sixth place, the
Braves having slight edge.
Since the st. Louis Cardinals won
the pennant last season, also the
world championship, they are de-
serving of initial consideration in
the matter of pennant possibilities.
Unquestionably, the holdout stu
alton has hampered the spring train
ing Of several of the Cardinal stars.
Even should they sign before the
opening of the season, it strikes me
that the condition of several will
have been seriously retarded be-
cause of failure to agree on terms.
Another angle that enters strongly
into the Cardinal situation is that of
manager. The club will be piloted
by Catcher Bob O'Farrell, a great
receiver, making his debut as leader.
Will the quiet, soft-spoken OFar-
rell be able to get as much work
out of his players as the dominant
Hornsby? I doubt it.
"O'Farrell has a chance to repeat
if they let him alone" says former
Manager Rogers Hornsby, but I'M
less he asserts himself, he will have
at least two other executives man
aging the club for him. That will be
fatal"
/ do not like the chances of the
Cardinals to repeat nearly as much
as / would if the same aggregation
as last year were representing st.
Louis. The odds are certainly
against the Cardinals.
McGraw has a goodlooking ball
club. incidentally New York has
John McGraw as manager, which is
some item. However. l have my

all l needed TO get over. Another
burning curve, and stepping away,
he clipped it for a dinky pop fly to
shallow center. Dave Bancroft and
Dode Paskert tried to get it, but the
ball fell between them for one of
those pop singles. I have never
been that close to a no-hit game

One of the best games L ever
pitched was a loser-zthe 81 defeat

POLISH REPUBLIC
SHOWS SURPLUS
Last Year First Time There Was
Not Deficit in
Budget.

Last year was the first since the
establishment Of the Polish Republic
when there was not q deficit in the
budget, Finance Minister Czechowioz
stated in the Diet during a discussion
of the budget, according to Polish
Telegraph Agency dispatch received at
the Washington legation yesterday.
The surplus of revenues over expendi-
lures in the last half of 1926 even was
sufficient to wipe out the deficit &C
cumulated during the first half of the
year, he pointed out.
The active trade balance, which
was unfavorable up to 1896" the
finance minister said, 'fn that year
showed a favorable balance of 409,-
900, 900 gold zlotys ($78,937 ,000). The
Improvement in the financial situation
of the government has permitted the
restoration of the reserve of the Bank
of Poland, which from 1877, 100000 gold
zlotys ($24,511 ,O00) on June /, 1926,
has risen to $310,O0O,000 gold zlotys
$3.50 $50 ,000) at present.
'"The government, in following out
its financial plan, aims at maintenance
of balanced budget without recourse
to increased taxation, aims at prevent
ing any increase in the cost of living,
at further diminishing the rate of dis
count, at reforming the tax system
and at maintaining the stability of the
currency"
