Associated Press Feature Editor)
 Brooliline, Mass. April 15 LP' - The girls national indoor tennis championship has just changed hands but it didn't stray far, for il is still in possession of the family that has monopolized this title three years.
 Beyond the mere statement that Miss Mlanne Paltrey Of Brookllne defeated her sister, Miss Sarah palfrey. in the final of the singles and teamed with her sister to win the doubles title. there is a chapter in American sports history that has few. if any, precedcnts.
 Years ago John G. Palfrey an attorney of greater Boston, and his wife were tennis enthusiasts. as they are to this day. They say they only played at the game. But as their family of six youngsters grew, each was taught to hold racket and was instructed in the rudi- ments of the game.
 Polly was the eldest. Then in
 
 order were Lee. Mianne, Sarah, Joanna and John. Tn the earlier years superior age and experience counted for everything and vic tories, therefore. were in order Of seniority But presently Sarah and Mianne forged to the front as the family champions in doubles, while Sarah became the leader in singles play.
 Their supremacy was indicated back in 1926 when Mianne was q finalist in the girls national in door mpionships. That same year she and Sarah won the Massa- chusetts junior and girls doubles and still later the girls national doubles in Philadelphia. They were 15 and 13. respectively, then. No small part of their showing was due to the coaching of Mrs. George Wightman, former women's national champion. who has advised and aided many a young New England i player.

Several local baseball teams that were planning to get out for a work $. out over the weekend, were com- pelled to remain under wraps be- cause of the intense cold and wet.
 Although every one of the teams needs the practice sessions in order to get away to an early start, the weather has most seriously affected the Corbin Red Sox. This team. managed by John Tobin. faces game with the Socony team of New London next Sunday.
 At a recent meeting, it was de- cided to reorgani-e the Red sox aft CT a year of inactivity and so far. the team hasn't even started it's formation. It is expected that Man ager Tobin will call a workout some evening this week so that he can select squad to start the game. If the weather remains cold. however l., is likely that the game will be called off,

 The experts on baseball have been busy picking the possible winners in both the American and National ruao Corno fiUnra tb.r tho Giants will come through in the National though the majority of the critics have expressed themselves as being puzzled about the chances Of the league. It is considered the most evenly balanced circuit in years.
 In the American, almost unanl- mously the expert are picking the Yankees to again come through for . pennant. Babe Ruth & Company seem to have lost none of their power and it looks like another rum away for Miller Huggins and his tribe.
 Today, the new amateur fight code drawn up by State Athletic Commis- sioner Thomas F. Donohue and ap- proved by Governor John H. Trum- bull, goes into effect. This will put the amateur fight game entirely in the hands of the state commissioner.
 Probably the two most drastic changes in the rules are the cutting of the rounds from three to two minutes and the enforcement of the draw rule for matches. In the fu- ture all matches will be made ac- cording to chance. The names of those fighers entered in the various weight classes will be assembled in a hat and will be drawn. The names thus drawn will make the matches.
 Tn Providence and generally throughout the state of Rhode Is- land, the two minute rule for rounds has been in effect for long time and the game has flourished even more so than in this state. Whether the rule will work as effectively in this state where the fans have been used to three minute rounds, is a
