DETAILS ARE ASKED
IN TOWNSHEND SUIT
ChoirmaSter Denies Grounds
for Debt Writs Issued on
Christmas Eve.

The District Supreme Court was
asked today to compel Mrs. Edith l..
TownShend to furnish more details re-
garding the debt she says is owed her
by T. Guy Lucas. choirmaSter of St.
Johns Episcopal Church.
Mr.. Lucas, through Attorney Arthur
j. Hilland, filed a motion for a more
complete bill of particulars and a mo-
ton to quash writs of attachment and
garnishment issued against him Christ
mas eve. He asserts that all the facts
in Mrs. Townshend's affidavit for issuing
the writs of attachment and garnish-
ment are untrue and that there were
no just grounds for their issuance.
At the time the writs were issued, he
says, he did not contemplate secreting
any Of his property, and he asserts that
the writs were issued solely for the pur-
pose of embarrassing him. He further
claims that he owes Mrs. Townshend
nothing and that she has no claim on
him.
Mr. Lucas charges in his motion for
a more specific bill Of particulars that
Mrs. Townshend's bill is vague and in
definite in that it gives the date and
amount Of the money turned over to
him, but does not disclose the item Of
credit which should have been made
against her claim.

 No sooner had the order been is- sued than Mandell's friends hurried flo the commission with newspaper clippings that the champion recently had signed to defend his crown against Al Singer in July Then sponsors of the Singer -Mandell match cliuched inc argument by displaying the signed contracts

Four official umpires were named for the coming Industrial Baseball league season at a meeting Of the Industrial Athletic Council at the '. M. c. A. yesterday. The league rep resentatives voted to go back to the single arbiter plan this season. One umpire will be used at each game Instead of two.
 The umpires who will be official arbiters at the games this season are as follows: Jimmy Greene, Eddy Crowley, Jimmy Maher and Mike Lynch. Harry Linnehan, athletic mentor at the New Britain -Gridley Machine Co.,, was named chief of umpires and he will assign the of- ficials to their games during the coming year.
 Nothing was heard last night from either the American Paper Goods or the Corbin Screw with regard to teams entering the league this year. As it stands now, there are seven teams in the league and the possi- bility of either or both of the other two teams being in the running, makes it possible that the league will consist of either eight or nine teams. e Because of the fact that neither of these two teams has signified it's intention one way or the other, no action was taken on a schedule at last nights meeting. Harry Lime han presented three proposed schedules at the meeting last night. One is for seven-team league, an, other for eight teams and the third for nine. The teams are represented by numbers. It is probable that one of these three schedules will be- adopted as soon as the definite num- l lished.
 The league will use the Rawlings ball as its official ball this season, the vote showed last night.
 A number of changes will be noted in the league this year. Scott, the mainstay of the Stanley Works team in past seasons. has left the employ of the factory and is now a mail carrier. Stanley Works will find it difficult to replace him this season. Is
 Mickey Noonan, outstanding catcher, in this city, is with the Stanley Rule S Level Co. and he will be eligible to play in the league
 Fafnir Bearing will have practically the same team this season with Lefty Huber, student at Tufts, back in the lineup. Bergeron. inali- gible last season because of the eo- day clause. will be available for] duty with the ?. &5 F. Corbin team These changes will greatly weaken or strengthen their respectil q teams.
 It is understood that one biz req ] son for the hesitancy of the Corbin Screw to enter the league, is the lack of a pitcher. This condition may be remedied by the league if Corbin Screw enters competition.
 The season will open on May 20 with games being played Tuesday and Thursday evenings at Walnut Hill park.

By the Associated Press.
 Old Man Weather, who has a habit of disrupting early season schedules and causing baseball mag mates to mutter dark threats of de- laying the start of the next season, has delivered his first blow of the new baseball year.
 MT. Weather, in the form of rain and cold, wiped off five games from yesterdays major league program, leaving but two contests in the Ma tional league and one in the Amerl- can. And the Chicago White SoX and Cleveland Indians still are try ing to sage their opening at Chlca- go, hopeful of getting Il done today, before the Indians have to move on.
 It might have been better for the National league champions, the Chi cago Cubs, if the rainy area had eH- tended as far as St. Louis. Playing their second game there, the Cubs took a 1S to beating from the rampant Cardinals. Starting In the first inning, the Cards collected 20 nlIS, SIX Ol lHelll uouplto anu oi'S tN home run by Jim Bottomley. George Fisher, young slugger recently ob- tained from the New York Giants, led the parade with four hits, giving him a record of eight blows Tn nine times at bat for the first two games.
 The other National league game gave Cincinnati an even break in two games against the Pittsburgh Pirates with a 8 to triumph.

 New York, April IT LP,-If a few good fights is what the boxing game needs, if may be in a healthy con- dition before the summer is over.
 Three major championship prob ably will be decided within the next few months and all of the battles stand out as exceptionally promis- ing.
 Sammy Mandell defends his light weight crown in a May meeting with Al Singer; Jack Sharkey and Max Schmeling fight in June for first claim on the heavyweight throne, and Jackie Fields either will ac- cept a battle with Jimmy McLarnin with Jackie's welterWeight title at stake or will have to do some tall explaining to the boxing powers.
 At this stage of the program the Mandell- Singer and ields-McLarnin scraps seem to be creating more in terest in New York than the Schmel- ingSharkey thing. Eight months ago this one heavyweight bout stood out as the most attra ctive project since Jack Dempsey quit. What hap pened to Sharkey at Miami seems to have removed some of the attrac- tive features of the engagement, so the boxing critics say.
 It wouldn't surprise the metro politan experts if the challengers, seeking to dethrone Fields and Man. dell, went into the ring as the favor- ties.
 McLarnin, who has few equals as a perfect functioning fighting ma chine, is backed by convincing string of victories and have proved himself to be a knockout puncher. He should have a psychological ad- vantage over Fields because Jimmy stopped Jackie in two rounds back in 1925 when they were fighting as featherweights.
 Singer has youth, speed and punching ability to match Mandell' S greater ring experience. Sammy is one of the smartest men to top the lightweight division but his recent fights indicate that his legs arc slowing up. This would throw 2 tremendous burden on that noted Mandell left as his main weapon tc carry him through the champion. ship route of 15 rounds,
