GIANTS AND TANKS IDLE:

.ty the Associated Press.
 A combination of adverse weather and fortuitous hitting had placed new leaders at the top Of both major leagues today.
 New York's Giants and Yankees were forced to remain idle yesterday and see themselves shunted into sec ond place in their respective league standings.
 The opportune hitting was done by Brooklyn and Cleveland and en- abled the Ro bins to oust the Giants from the National league crest while the Indians were doing the same thing to Babe Ruth and com- pany in the American.
 Jumbo Jim" Elliott gave up only three hits in Brooklyn's to vic tory owed the Boston Braves at the Hub. Greenfield and Morrison wer" nicked for 10 safe blows including home runs by Bissonette. Rconda and Henlno. These circuit drives. accounting for six Of the Dodgers runs. all landed in the new left field bleachers at Braves field which has become some hat of a paradise for the boys who hit them into the air but fairly far. Hornsby and Purrus returned to the Braves lineup after being out for a day with bad colds but their presence had no effect on the final result.
 George Uhle registered his fourth straight win of the season as the ln- dians routed Detroit at Cleveland, 10 to $. The Tigers hit Chle hard In the first inning, scoring five runs but the Indians came back with seven in the second and third. | hl- held the Tigers in hand then until the ninth when Harerave hit q home run. With two out Ihle was re- moved and Bayne finished the game.
 At St. Louis, the Browns frollcked to a 14-5 verdict over the Chicago White Sox. Sam Gray turned in his fourth victory in five starts for the Browns, holding the SoN scoreless until the ninth when an error and six straight hits gave them five tal- lies. Every Brown got one hit at least, Manush contributing homer to the cause.
 The Chicago Cubs fell victim on their home lot to Jess Haines and the St. Louis Cardinals, 4 to "- Haincs allowed nine hits but kept them scattered. Seven Cubs expired on strikes. Toporcer and Andy High were In the Cardinal infeld in place of Bottomley and Holm who are suffering from slight attacks of influence.
 Rain caused postponement of the National league games between Gin cinnati and Pittsburgh and Phila- delphia and New York as we'll as of the Washington-Phila game in the American. The Yankees and Boston Rel Sox decided it was too cold to play at New York.

 The Capital City crew is a strong one and the local nine. unorganized as yet, will be mighty fortunate to pull out with a win in the initial start of the year.

Cambridge, Mass. April cS R}-- The Harvard football outlook is ex- ceptionally bright and the Crimson will be represented by a good team next fall, Esllie Clark. varsity center coach, said in an article in the cur rent issue of the Harvard Alumni Bulletin.
 Like hope that springs eternal" he wrote. "Harvard's football pros poets are once moro regarded as very good for the season of 1928. The reasons for considering the prospects better than average are very definite in the shape of excel that Head Coach Arnold Horween's ideas have had two years to develop, and should show the promise that has cropped out at various times dur ing the past two seasons.
 Harvard football for the past two years has not been discoura ging so much as it has been disappoint- ing. That is, the teams have shown flashes of real power. only to drop back into mediocre play. For ex- ample. last year the eleven went through the season winning every other game. looking better after each victory, but on the following Satur- day. for some unaccountable reason. the team had lapse. It is felt that under these circumstances. Harvard football is on the verge of having q rebirth which will put it in the front rank in the football world next season.
 The Crimson seems well fortified as to veteran players in practically every department for next fall. In the backflcld Captain French heads

;PLANSkY HAS LEAD IN DECATHL0N TRY
Pennsylvania Relay Carnival Drawing to Dramatic Finish

Franklin Field, Philadelphia, Pa, April 2S CP)--Flying runners swinging around an oval path, stall wart athletes sealing bars and leap ing into distance. strong limbed youngsters propelling spears through the air.
 That was Franklin Field this morning as the S4th annual Univer- sity of Pennsylvania relay carnival approached its climatic end.
 Interest was centered in the three cornered duel between Tony Plan sky, former Georgetown football and track star; Kenneth Dohsrty. Col Iege of the City of Detroit, and Thomas Churchill. University of Okla homa. for :he Olympic decath- lon honors.
 Plansky held a slight lead over his two rivals as the dccathlon coInpeti- tors began the last half Of the all- round test. The five events remaining on the decathlon program which will decide the winner are the Home tres hurdles, dscus, javelin, pole vault and 15oo-metres run.
 Plansky's total was 371S.7lo5, Doherty's 3762.50l. and Churchhill's 3Gl1.235.
 Fifteen others remained in the competition but none of them were regarded as having a chance 10 win.
 Charley Paddock. called ''the fast est human," will make his first com petitive appearance in the east this year in the special 175-yards run against three Pennsylvania under graduates.
 Folwell Scull. University of Penn sylvania. football and spring star, was expected to give Paddock his strongest competition and many ar dent admirers of the red and blue flash openly predicted victory for him.
 In training for his third Olympic team. Paddock hoped to demon- stratc that he is still one of the na- tion's fastest sprinters by cracking his own record of 17 4-5 seconds in the non standard distance.
 In the field events records were expected to be endangered in the pole vault and shot put. Sabin Carr, sky-scaling son of Yale, and Victor Pickard. University of Pittsburgh star. were entered in the. pole vault. Carr scaled 14 feet inch, breaking all existing records, during the last indoor season.
 Dave Adelman, of Georgetown. in- tercollegiate champion. was con- ceded a good chance to exceed the existing relay carnival record of 4S feet, ? inches. and in the l6-pound shot put.
 Some lively competition was an- ticipated in the broad jump between Ed Hamm. of Georgetown Tech. the southern champion. and Alfred Bates, of Penn State, intercollegiate champion. Hamm won last year with leap of 3 feet IF inches. George Simpson, the Ohio State flyer who won the 100 yards in g .G-10 seconds in the mud at Colum- bia last week, was picked as one Of the leading contendcrs for the 100 yard title because of prospects of a soggy track.
 Jimmy Daley and Jimmy Quinn of Holy Cross are two of the best sprinters the east has to offer to op- pose him.
 The important relay races sched- uled this afternoon include the half mile, mile, two-mile and four-mile.

 New York. April cs R-Gene Tunney isn't the only worlds cham pion who is to defend his crown this summer All along the line the lesser kings are making ready to , take on their respective challenGers and get share of the dollars that bloom in the big outdoor arenas in the warmer months.
 Not less than six champions in the eight recognized and bona fide weight divisions already are book cd for championship fights. and it looks like fireworks ahead. Tunney is getting set for the Tom Hccncy affair. which probably will be in the Yankee Stadium, New York, July o6.
 Tommy LouGhran, the light heavyweight ruler. has agreed to | take on q challenger June at the Yankee Stadium, also for Tex Rick ard, his opponent probably to be Leo Lomski or Jimmy Slattery. l both of whom he has beaten. or Jack Delaney. the abdicated eX- ! champion. | Mickey Walker, middleweight champion, who is handled by Jack 1 Kearns and hence is unavailable to | Rickard. is to tackle Ace Hudkins in Chicago in June or July under the auspices of Jim Mullen, Rick ards Windy City rival.
 Joe Dundee. welterweight title holder, has been signed by Jess Me- Mahon. matchmaker unto Rickard, 1 for Polo Grounds scrap June 21. but Hudkins' growth into the mid | dleweight division has robbed the Baltimore Italian of his challenger. Another one now must be named, possibly the hardy Sergeant Sammy Baker, who has given the Ace some memorable battles.
 Sammy Mandell, the somewhat evasive, but none the less respected lightweight champion, is booked for a scrap May 17 at the Polo Grounds 1 that runs second only to thehcavy. weight championship match in its l appeal 10 the popular imagination. | Interest in the fight is due in large part to the colorful person alty and dynamite punching power of little Jimmy McLarnin, 'the baby faced rattlesnakc," the challenger | and man of the hour in the light weight class.
 | Down among the featherwcights Tony Canzoneri. the spunky New York Italian who bosses the di. vision in his own right now that he has beaten Benny Bass. is to take on that hard hitting atom iron, Milwaukee. Joie Sangor. the same who kayocd gallant little BuG :, Taylor.
 1 With these six. all of whom ar, due to See action in the next few weeks. the list of recognized ant undisputed champions ends. Tn, same Bud Taylor who fell before Sangor is considered bantamweigh' champion by some states, but is no | universally acclaimed. Bud ha. about outgrown the division any |

TWO TERMS OF COURT PUT OFF
 BY JUDGE HILL
Terms Set for Ketchikan and Juneau Next Month
 Are Now Postponed

Plans made by Judge E. Coke Hill for holding two terms of court in this Division in January. 1929, have been abandoned. according to telegraphic advices received from him by Federal court off eials and made public today It is not expected now that there will be any terms before February and that the first term next year will be held at Ketehikan.
 When he went back to Valdez last month, Judge Hill fixed Janu- ary ', 1929 for the opening day of a special term at Ketchikan, and Jaanuary 15, to open here. A wire received from him by Walter B. King. Chief Deputy Clerk of Court directed MT. King to keep the terms alive but that he would not come here at that time. Another telegram from Judge Hill to |. s. Attorney Justin ". Harding inti- mated there would be no term be- fore February.
 Apparently Judge Hill expects early action by the Senate on the appointment of MT. Harding to be Federal jud ge c in this Division. Should favorable action be taken next month it would probably not be necessary for Judge Hill to re- turn here unless it were required by reason of MT. Harding being disqualified from sitting in cases which originated in his tenure as United States Attorney.
