BARNARD PREDICTS
BASE BALL BOOM
Full Recovery From Effects
of War Is Seen by Ameri-
can League Head.
BY PAUL NICHOLSON,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

~HICAGO, April 10.-Major league
A base ball, slightly groggy since
Y the World War depleted its
ranks and interrupted its an
nual supply of young talent, has re-
covered from its shock and will boom
louder than ever during the next i've
years, President Ernest Barnard Of the
American League predicted today.
"IIl frankly admit that the class OF
major league base ball since the World
War hasn't been equal to that as dis
played in the years between 1905 and
1916" President Barnard said, but we
have caught up now, and despite the
attractions of the golf links and foot
ball fields, sports lovers will again real
ize that base ball is the great national
game.
80 disastrous was the war and its
after effects that major or minor league
clubs had difficulty obtaining high
class players at any price: The war
took young mems minds of the game
and those with natural talent forgot
about our great game, and we lost at
least 100 finished players. But that's
all past now. We are getting faster and
better players, the game has been speed
ed up to its former class. and We are
destined to have tighter pennant races
from now on. Base ball will come into
its own once more"
President Barnard is optimistic over
the prospects of a tight flag race In
the American League this year and eX-
poets the loop to draw over 100000
spectators for the first time since 1925
"While Philadelphia looks to be the
strongest in the league this year. don't
think Connie Mack's boys are going
to have a walk-away," he prophesied
THE Athletics won last year because
all their pitchers went good. But will
they all go so good this year?
1.-The Yankees look to be vastly
improved team and should extend the
Athletics to the limit. They have i'm
proved their club immensely with Chap
man at third base and they have two
American League q big surprise this
year.
Cleveland, too, looks good The
Indians finished like champions after a
bad start in 1929. The odds are they
won't have such poor start and that
they will play a more certain, smoother
brand of base ball this season.
1.-The White Sox and Detroit Tigers
have improved themselves more than
any other clubs in the league and that
means they will help shave off some
games from the big lead every one
thinks the Athletics are going to get on
the rest of them. "St. Louis should be
better, too. don't know much about
Washington and Boston, but they should
do better than a year ago."
There have been no hanges in the
playing rules since 1926 in the junior
circuit and will be none in 1880, Presi-
dent Barnard said, but a meeting
undoubtedly will be called for the
Spring of 1881 to consider more
alterations.

JACOBS IS SNUBBED
BY F|ST|C MAGNATE
Carey Refuses to Use His
Fighters Unless They Sign
Own Contracts.
BY WILBUR WOOD.

n YEW YORK, April 10.-PreSi-
nj dent w. F. Carey of Madi-
son Square Garden and
a Joe Jacobs, manager of
Max Schmeling, had not been in
town from foreign parts more
than a few hours before they re-
newed their feud Of last Summer
with all its old acerbity.
Carey and Jacobs fell out last Sum-
mer when Schmeling refused to go
Detroit under Garden auspices after
the Garden had defied the boxing COM
missions orders to lay off Jacobs and
Schmeling.
At that time the Garden boss de-
clared that Jacobs and all his fighters
would be kept out of the Eighth avenue
temple Of swat as long as Carey was in
control.
The milk fund show June IL seemed
wtping out old scores. Though the
charity organization is the ostensible
promoter of the Schmeling- Sharkey
bout, the Garden really is handling it.
Carey Adamant.
Jacobs apparently was in q mood
to forgive and forget and upon the
invitation of newspaper men he visited
the Garden with q batch of pictures
of Herr Max. When Carey walked in
the two were expected to smile at each
other and gracefully bring their feud
to an end.
However, when Carey arrived, he soon
made it clear that he had not changed
his mind regarding Jacobs.
Joe Jacobs will not sign any Madi-
son Square Garden contracts" stated
the Garden boss. II said that a year
ago and it still goes"
Carey then went on to make it clear
that the ban on the manager would
provided they signed their own con-
tracts.
When Jacobs was informed of this
angle on using his fighters he f1ared up.
Il won't allow the Garden to use any
Of my fighters unless 1 sign the con-
tracts, and that's that" remarked
Jacobs. IF Max Schmeling wins the
title when he boxes Sharkey the Gar
den will have to get along without him
unless they do business with me. And
that's that"
All this sounds much worse, no doubt,
than 1t really is. If Schmeling wins the
title and the Garden wants to use him
in September against whoever happens
to be the outstanding contender it is
dollars to doughnuts that a way to do
it will be found.
Could Shun New York.
If Schmeling should emerge from his
combat with Sharkey as the heavy
weight king the balance of power would
rest with Jacobs. There would be only
one champion, but more than one spot
for the champion to fight. AS Jacobs
