BRIEF BACKING CLARK READY.
Lawyers Plan It's Presentation to U. S
Supreme Court.

BY the Associated Press.
Two New York lawyers have prepared
a brief for presentation to the Supreme
Court upholding the decision of Federal
Judge Clark of New Jersey, that the
prohibition amendment is invalid be-
cause improperly ratified.
They are Henry w. Jessup and AUS
ten G.. Fox. They plan to seek the
courts permission to file the brief when
it hears argument on the Governments
appeal from the Clark decision next
Wednesday.
They contend the Constitution and its
trainers contemplated two kinds of
amendments, and supported Judge
Clark's view that an amendment af-
fecting individual rights must be passed
upon by State conventions rather than
by State Legislatures.
They insisted the discretion of Con-
gress in selecting the mode of ratifica-
ton was subject to review and contend
ed previous decisions did not preclude a
decision on this phase of the contro-
verSS.

manager of Schmeling, virtually

for the bout.
Several obstacles still remained.
but it was believed these could be
settled satisfactorily.
Under the present plan, Sheldon
Clark and group of fifty Chicago
business men will promote the
match for the Chicago Milk Fund.
Reports that the match would be
called off because of lack of interest
are entirely unfounded, Jacobs said.
Even more absurd, he said was the
story that Mickey Walker, would be
substituted for Stribling as the
challenger.
Last minute attempts to ring Jack
Dempsey into the match either as
front man" or referee are still be-
ing made by several concerned in
the negotiations. Some still main

match will not stand on its own, and
needs synthetic pull to help make it

Il
Ut was a great break for Klein
Z that he landed with the Phillies.
They needed an outfelder at once,
and Chuck got his chance. He re-
sponded with all-round perform
ance that exceeded anything he had
achieved or promised in the Central
League.
Had Klein come to the Yankees,
he would have been sent to st. Paul
or Jersey City. Almost any other
club except the Phillies would have
followed baseball "HoyIe" and de-
manded more experience of the In

tell how Chuck would have reacted
to another year in the minors?

Indians to
End Work
HooSierS Head North After
Tilt Wednesday; Boston
Here Saturday.
BY EDDIE ASH
Times Sports Editor

SARASOTA, Fla, March 3l.-One
more game, Indians vs.. Cardinals, at
Bradenton wednesday, and it will
be all over for Johnny Corriden's
Hoosiers in the southland. Several
Of the Tribe athletes are on their
way north now and there was little
enthusiasm on tap at the training
grounds Monday and today.
Manager Corriden said he would
use Mike Cvengros and Herman
HOlshOuser on the mound against
the National League champions
Wednesday and despite a makeshift
lineup Johnny expressed the opinion
that his Indians would enter the
battle prepared to try for q repeat
over Gabby Streets FASTENERS.
The Indians trOunced the Mound
City Birds Sunday in Sarasota and
its good bet that Gabby will put
the pressure on Wednesday TO bring
the count even up with the Ameri-
can Association team. He doesn't
care to be pushed over by minor
leaguers.
Paul Wolfe will be stationed at
third base Wednesday instead of Bill
Narlesky, the working Jersey
ite Narlesky came south in his
car and was granted permission to-
day to cut loose from the squad and
head for Indianapolis. The two
Barnharts, Clyde and Leslie, also
have filed their gasoline tanks and
are on their way.
Danny Boone worked out Monday
ana departed for the north late in
the afternoon. He is going TO con-
suit Bonesetter Reese about his arm,
but from what the young man dis
played down here it's unlikely that
he'll make the grade.
Fact Of the matter, the Indian
pitching stah is far behind in ply
steal condition and it looks like a
tough spot for Manager Corriden
when he reaches Indianapolis to
play nine exhibition games before
the championship race in the Amer
lean Association gets under way.
AS usual, Bill Burwell is the
standout finger, with Lee Daney
and Herman Holshouser standing
next in line. The team needs an
other left-hander and right-hander
to be ready when the barrier is
sprung.
