GIANTS AT HOME
Owing to Postponemcnt Of Games, Fans Haven't Been Able to Get a Line On Team.

New York. April 23 UP) - The New York Giants will open the sea : son at the Polo Grounds against he Philadelphia Philles today, weather permitting.
 Although the Giants have won the only two games played against the PhillieS baseball fans haven't been able to get a real line on John J. McGraw's 1929 entry in the National league flag chase. Both games were ragged exhibitions which the Giants won by terrific hitting
 The numerous postponements which are fast taking the edge of the Giants condition and the sersa- tional showing of the Chicago Cubs against the strong western teams have made McGraw and some of his players nervous over their idleness.
 Joe Genewich has been nominat- cd to pitch for the Giants and Claude Willoughby probably will oppose him.
 Brooklyn's official opening at Eb bets field was scheduled to take place today against the Boston Braves. Dazzy Vance and Bob Smith were slated to start the game

 Detroit, April g R-Dale Alexan- der is proving that he is more than merely the biggest first baseman in the major leagues.
 This six feet. three-inch giant, weighing 2l5 pounds, struck the ma- jority Of the spring training critics as being too big to stick notwith- standing that he hits line drives to distant fences
 But Big Dale is showing them where they were wrong. He proved that he could go after a grounder without cracking up and won out in a tri-cornered struggle for the regu- lar first sack job with the Tigers.
 Meanwhile his mighty bat has been connecting consistently bring ing himself the rating of cleanup hitter who brings in those runs.
 Alexander slugged out sm oking pace for the, International league crowd last year. He won't set the pace in the American. Such men as Goslin, Manush and Gehrig will see to that, but the big boy from Toron- to seems due to barg the boards often enough to make him favorite around the circuit
 Bucky Harris has induced Dale to shorten his swing. The Tiger manager figures this will improve his hitting.
 Those who remember the stout one for his performances in the small leagues down south have reasons of their own for the change. The main one is that a shorter swing for Dangerous Dale should save uni forms for the Tigers

HURLEY ID STAGE DOUBLE FEATURE
Two MiddleWei6ht Bouts Brack.
 eted in Semi-Final Card

Hartford, April 23-Hartford has never had-at least as far as any Of the current boxing fans can re- call--a boxing show boasting a dou- ble semi-f final.
 But that is what the card at Foot Guard hall Thursday night wi!l have.
 Matchmaker Ed Hurley has link ed two middleweight bouts in the semi final bracket
 In one. Frankie konchina of New Springfield amatour; in the ether, Frankie Busch of Manchester takes on Johnny Curcio of Boston. Each of the semi finals is down for eight rounds.
 Eddie Ellie, like Nick Chrsty. the Bristol boy who meets Pancho Villa Of New Bedford in the star bout, .s a graduate of the amateur ranks and on this occasion both Nick and Eddie will be meeting the hard. st tests they have had since turning
 
 professionals
 Christy is meeting a boy far bet ter than any of the fourteen he has beaten and Ellie has never squared off against an opponent nearly ns formidable as konchina. The ind,- cation is that both will lose, but the mere fact Of their getting this matching shows tat they are con- sidered ready for better things.
 The Zotter- Flahive siX-round pre- llminary offers an interesting pros pect. Zotter has won ten of his last twelve fights, but it remains to be seen whether he can overcome the boxing skill of the former Atlantan, F'lahive, who is now making hls home here

Speaking of s porte


 The ''iron hand" is starting to show in the boxing circles in this state. Following the adoption of the new code of rules governing the amateur boxing spirit in Connecticut and the passage of the law placing the sport under the dominatoin of State Athletic Commissioner Thomas E. Donohue. here has started a rush of former simon-pure to enter the pro ranks. Johnny Clinch is the first of the New Britain amateurs to announce that he was turning pro. He meets Ray Dolan of Waterbury. another former simon-pure in Waterbury Thursday night.
 A whole flock of boys who have been fighting in amateur tourna- ments all over the state. hailing from every community where the amateur boxing game has flourished are about ready to flip over into the pro ranks and Connecticut Is due to see plenty of new talent shows in the coming outdoor season.
 Commissioner Donohue plans to set right the question of amateur titles immediately. He announced today that state title tournament would be staged in New Haven on May Is and 16. Notices to this ef- feet have been mailed out to several hundred boxers about the state and rush of applications for entries is expected to follow.
 The commissioner will supervise all details in connection with the tournament and those winning in each of the weight classes will hold their championships for one year. The new rules will all be in force, Including the draw system of making matches and the two minute round clause. All bouts will terminate at the end of the third round and de- cision will be rendered by the referee.
 Johnny Willis who has been of ficiating at local amateur boxing shows conducted by the Stanley A. C.. has made an application for a position as a member Of Commis- sioner Donoh les staff of referees. We suspect that there won't be any question of Johnny's getting a license because he IS one of the rare old timers who is still active in the refereeing game.
 All other officials in connection with the bouts will all be required to take out licenses from the state boxing commission. This includes time-keepers. seconds and all others Only two men. bona fide seconds will be allowed to be in the corner of each fighter.
 It may take some time before the entire list is strengthened out but after the system gets working. ac- cording to Commissioner Donohue. he expects that there won't be any question about the amateur and pro- fessional status of all boxers in the state of Connection.
 The next boxing show for this city auspices of the Stanley A. C. Matchmaker Wagner is busy on the card which will be presented.
