DOUBLE TRAGEDY
IS BLAMED ON
JUG OF LIQUOR

. ONTARIO, Cal, April IA. W.P)-
A dispute over missing jug of
liquor today stood as the apparent
motive for the murder here of Will
liam Hargis, 81, rancher, by his
next-door neighbor and best friend,
Charles Wolfe. 81, who then COM
mitted suicide.
Police were studying possible
connections between the tragedy
and the unexplained death more
than year ago of Bert Whipple.

milton in a blazing automobile after
what police believed was the climax

This problem was given police to-
day by Wolfe's widow. The men
had been drinking yesterday, and
Wolfe, unable to find a jug of liquor
he had hidden, accused his wife OF
stealing it. She said when she
protested ignorance, Wolfe said, II
know who did it," and went onto
the road along which Hargis was
plowing
He accused Hargis of the theft,
she said, and when the latter de-
MED it, he shot him without further

Heavy Batting
May Be Halted

NEW YORK, April Il. U.P) -
High batting averages, such as have
featured the last decade, may be a
thing of the past because of the
adoption of new baseball and
new sacrifice hit rule that becomes
effective today upon the opening of
the 1881 major league pennant races.
The new baseball. experts believe,
will prove big aid to pitchers. The
official National league ball has
raised stitches and a thicker and
looser cover than the ball used last
year. The American league ball is
the same as last season except that
the stitches are raised.
Under the new sacrifice rule, bat
ters will be credited with O sacrifice
only when they bunt a ball which
enables a runner to advance a base.
Previously batters wer@ credited
with a sacrifice when they hit fly
which enabled a runner 10 advance
a base.

STATES BOXING
INSPECTOR SAYS
BERCLUND GOOD

THE nearest thing to Stanley
Ketchell I have ever seem is the
way Jack Ripper, chief boxing in
spector for the athletic commission,
describes Swede Rerglund, who
heads the card at the Imperial VAL
ley Athletic club this week.
Ripper, who visited here some
weeks ago, was discussing leading
fighters in the various divisions. and
declared that possibly Young Cor
bett is the only scrapper who could
outclass Berglund. "Sweoe would
have a good chance with any other
welter," Ripper said.
Berglund will meet Sammy
Aguirre. the flashy Mexican fight
er. He defeated Paul De Hate at
San Diego last week. had Charlie
Cobb on the floor three times in the
greatest battle San Diego has seen
in years, and he has trounced every
Mexican fighter he has faced.
Aguirre is no cinch no matter
how good Berglund is. He walloped
Alicante in the local arena, Knocked
out Herman Ritterhouse in his last
appearance here and defeated Mick
ey ONeal who boxed Billy Town.
send at the Olympic last week.
Sammy is fast, rugged and skilled,
and he packs plenty of punch.
Tony Chavez, who landed kerplop
in the admiration of the fans last
week by putting up a great fight
against Kid Manila, is coming back
this week with Sal Romero as his
opponent. Romero was TO fight
here last week but got mixed up il
his dates and was given permission
to fight in San Diego OH condition
that he would perform here this
week. He defeated Pancho in the
San Diego battle and hopes to do
the same with Tony.
Romero took on Young David
early in the winter and nearly
knocked out the Filipino in a slug
fest which had the fans up on their
seats. He is likely to play the dick
ems with Chavez, though Tony
proved last week that he is one
clever little fellow and a better
fighter than his brother Benny,
whom all the older fans remember.
Pancho is in the spot below, tax
ing on Louis Carpenter, a little
Frenchman who hopes TO be as good
as George was. Pancho is just the
style of fighter to make Carpenter
go his best, and the fight is tabled
as a sure fire nit.

LEWIS REGAINS
WORLDS TITLE
FROM GEORGE

LOS ANGELES, april IA. U.P) -
Ed Stranger" Lewis claimed the
heavyweight wrestling Championship
for the fourth time in his career TO-
day as a result OF his victory over
Don George, OF Michigan, in
straight falls here last night.
Lewis won the first fall with a
deadlock in / hour, 10 minutes and
26 seconds, and the second fall with
a hammerlock and body lock in Z
minutes and AZ seconds.
The veteran Lewis, who has been
wrestling 81 years, was too strong
and skillfull for his youthful oppo-
nent and found it an easy matter
TO apply the finishing touches al
ter wearing George down with pun
ishing wristlocks and headlocks.
George tried to bring his deadly
flying tackle into use but Lewis
spoiled his plans by keeping in close.
The wrestlers set a terrific pace and
battled SO furiously that both fell
out of the ring several times.
George weighed 228 pounds ard
Lewis 222.
More than $1,000 pounds paid ap-
proximately $4,000 TO see the open
air show staged at Wrigley field by
Promoter Lou Daro.
George claimed the title five
months ago when he defeated Gus
Sonnenberg here. Sonnenberg had
been recognized as champion in
many states after he defeated Lewis
in Boston in 1929
Joe Savoldi, former Notre Dame
athlete, defeated Myron Cox in the
semi-final match with a body siam

HOOVER WILL
ATTEND GAME
AT WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON, April IA U.P) -
President Hoover heard the call OF
The umpire today and led the way
TO the ball park for opening of the
big league season.
Like many another deSk-bound
fan, the chief executive found the
opening day was perhaps his busiest
business of the year, but he arrang-
ed to get off a few hours between
speechs for the first clash between
the champion Philadelphia Athletics
and the runners up OF last year, the
Washington Senators.
A freshly sharpened pencil for
the score card and few coins for
peanuts were in his pocket.
His arm was in good trim for toss
ing out the first ball, according TO
his physician. Long practice with
the medicine ball each morning be-
fore most people are out of bed,
makes it seem easy for him to toss
the little horsehide pellet.
The President is a strong support
er Of the Washington team. because
of his friendship for Walter john
son, the old master.
1t was 25 years ago today that
johnson stood on the mound, a raw
young kid, and took the first ball
pitched out by President Taft.
In that quarter century johnson
has established most of the existing
records for big league pitching. Last
year, his first as manager of the
Washington team, he led the Ath-
letics a sprightly race down to the
finish line. This year he has hopes
of cracking the Philadelphia ma

BIG LEAGUERS
GET OFF TODAY
ON LONG GRIND
BY l.. s. CAMERON
United Press Sports Editor

NEW YORK, April IA. U.Pl-
BaSeball's l6 major league clubs
started their season today.
There will be eight games in as
many cities Since they are the
first games of the season they will
be marked by capacity attendances
and by the usual honus-bolognus
The honus-noloenus will include
such proper items as raising OF
flags ana playing of pieces by
bands. 1t will also include that
lovely but dumb occasion wherein q
leading citizen will throw-out-the-
firSt-ball to the customary accom-
paniment of embarrassed tittering
and insincere applause.
Once the extra-athletic festivi-
ties have been dispensed with, ac-
tual play will start. The spectators
will then be treated to a pitchers
battle, slugging bee, nip and
tuck contest, an extra inning thrill
or tie game.
The same l6 clubs which formed
the two leagues last year are start
ing afresh today. This does not
mean that the same players will, in
all cases. perform for the same
clubs. BY way of example, Brook
lyn has acquired the services of
Fresco Thompson, a second base
man, and Frank ueft ODoul, a
left fielder. They were mainstays
of the Philadelphia Nationals last
year. Another transfer of conse-
quence has brought Lou Blue. a
first baseman, from the St. Louis
Americans TO Chicago of the same
league.
Further, three clubs have new
managers. They are the New York
Americans, or Yankees, Boston AM
ericans, or Red SoX, and Chicago
Nationals, or Cubs. Joe Mccarthy
is the new Yankee manager. John
cShano") Collins is new at Boston.
Rogers Hornsby is starting the sea-
son as leader of the Cubs. He ac-
quired that position just before the
last season ended.
BY almost universal agreement,
the American League race should
principally involve two clubs, Phil
adelphia and Washington, with
New York a third championship
possibility.
Five teams have been forecast as
possible National League winners.
They are st. Louis, Brooklyn, Chi
cago, New YORK and Pittsburgh.
These clubs along with the Others
of the Is will strive 70 win cham
pionships Of their respective
leagues. Philadelphia won last year
in the American, and st. Louis in
the National. Philadelphia then
won the championship, or world
series, played by the two clubs.
Baseball is called the national pas
time. Once it was that without
doubt. Now, with the constantly
increasing popularity OF golf, ten
mis- and football the title is clouded
Despite the claim of the games
adverse critics, it is fact that
more people saw major league base
ball games last year than in the
other years.
George Herman (Pabe) Ruth is
starting his 18th season in baseball
with the New York Yankees. Des-
pite his age, Ruth is baseball's most
truly colorful figure. He won his
fame by the wholesale hitting Of
home runs He holds more home
runs than any other player. A
baseball bearing the autograph OF
Babe Ruth, far from a rarity, IS
still valuable possession. Ruth is
thinner this year than last. He is
also one year older.
