New York. Feb. 20 (UP)-Madi- the approval of the Muldoon- -Tun- ney trophy committee, is prepared to "steam roller" the winner of it's current Jack Sharkey- Phil Scott Max Schmeling tourney into the worlds championship, but there is a possibility that a monkey wrench may be thrown into the machinery. Schmeling continues to sulll in Germany and although his "rcpre- sentativcs' say he will accept terms 10 fight the Scott -Sharkey winner on the Milk Fund Charity card hcre in Juno, MaXie has not committed himself.
 Garden officials frankly are wor- ricd and have made plans 10 sub stitute Nittorio Campolo. Argentine heavyweight, for Schmclng if the German boxer refuses to play the game.
 Campolo is fighting Johnny Risko on the Miami card week from to- night and has an opportunity to force his way into the title tourney regardless of Schmclng's actions. Risko holds decisions over both Scott and Sharkcy but was knocked out by Schmeling. If Campolo can better SchmelinG's record he will have established his right to place in the title tourney.
 Then too there is the possibility that the Sharkey- Scott mix may be a repetition of last years Miami

MANY CHANGES IN BRAVES LINEUP
New Names Are Added to Roster
 Of Boston National Team

New York, Feb. 20 (UP)-Many radical changes will be made in the lineup of the Boston Braves under their new manager, Bill MCkechnie, but there is no indication that there will be any vast improvement over the club which finished in the cellar last season.
 Fourteen new players have been added to the Braves roster of 30 players. The newcomers include six players purchased from the minors, three drafter players, three free agents and two recalled players.
 Little effort has been made to bolster the weak pitching staff as ten of the new players are infelders and outfelders.
 There are four outstanding re- cruits who stand a good chance of winning regular berths. They are First Baseman Johnny Noun, who was with Detroit 1925 to 1927 and who batcd .330 for the Baltimore Intcrna tional league club last sea- son; Third Baseman Russell Rol- lings, who had trial with the Red Sox in 1928 and who battcd BPS with the Hollywood Pacific Coast league club last season; Outfieldcr Walter Berger, who battcd .3S5 for the Los Angeles Pacific Coast league club last season: and Outfclder Ran dolph Moore. who batted .369 for the Dallas club, leading the Texas league in hitting.
 The Braves inficld probably will be composed Of Ncun at first, Ma guire at second, MaranNille at short and Rollngs at third.
 George Sislcr will be back 10 Com- pete with Neun for first base. Bob James, recalled from Baltimore. will understudy Mcguire at second. Gene Robertson. bought from the Yankees, will contest with Rollins for the third base job. The only other in- fielder is Harry Nolan, a free agent from Beaumont, Texas.
 Berger, who hit 40 home runs in the Coast league last season. and Moore, who set a new Texas league record for basc-hits with 24J. are expected to see a lot Of action in the Braves outfield.
 Only three of last years outfeld- CTS, Earl Clark, Lance Richbourg and Jimmy Welsh arc back. The other outfielders arc Joe Bratcher, who batted .362 for the Denver Western league club; Ralph Boyle. a 19 year old youngster from the Providence Eastern league club and William Dunlap, another youngster recalled from Providence.
 The three new pitchers are Alon- 70 Smith, %, bought from Provi- dence; Bob Brown, IS, a, free agent who pitched scmi-pro ball last sea- son and John Clough, a free agent who had several major league clubs bidding for his services.
 Percy Lee Jones, Bob Smith. Har- ry Scibold and Ed Brandt from last years staff arc counted on as rcgu- lars. Other pitchers arc Ben Can't well, Bruce Cunningham, John Cooncy and Gorham Lcverctt, all disappointments last season.
 There is a big gap in the catching staff. with only three receivers, Al Spohrer, the veteran Hank Gowdy and Billy Cronin, recalled from Bal timorc.

How Onc-Eye Connolly Used {,
 work the Trick of Losing
BY TIM MoCRhTH-

The One-Eye Connolly Of the JUS, q clever and suave gate crash. CT. carried a oag of tricks with him and one of the best I have seen h.m work was the lost eye stunt.
 Connolly. attired in Prince Albert coat with button-hole bouquet, care and stiff hat, would stop m rront ot a cigar store and pretend to lose ,,. eye.
 Tt was an eye I bought in Lon don,' he would say. "and it vas very expensive. I would give 20 pounds reward for it's return"
 A search would begin. but the ey. would not be found. Connelly would leave his card with the pro- prietor of the store, scribbling 2 telephone number on it.
 Later confederate of Connelly's would find" the eye and inquire in the cigar store if anyone had re- ported the loss. The cigar store pro- prietor, seeing a chance to make q smart bargain, would offer the find CT S10 or S20 for the eye.
 The confederate would accept and the cigar man would call the number One-Eye Connolly had given him.
 Connelly's favorite number was the morgue.
