A survey of the clubs rosters re- veals that the Brooklyn Robins. the Chicago Cubs and the Cincinnati Reds are the only teams who have added strength of know quality. The Cubs and Robins together with the Philadelphia Phillies, were the only major league clubs to figure in trades in which there were important shirts of veteran players.
 Cubs Get Pitchers
 The addition of Lester Sweetland of the Philfies, Bob Smith of the Boston Braves and Jakie May of the Reds gives the Cubs a pitching stair that looms as formidable as any in the senior circuit. Should Charley Root, Pat. Malone, Guy Bush and Fred Lake display the form they showed in bringing the 1929 pennant to Chicago, the Cubs appear to be we'll fixed nj the hurling depart ment.
 Biggest Deal
 The biggest baseball deal of the off season was Brooklyn's acquisition of Lefty O'Doul and Thompson, out fielder and second baseman, respect iyely, of the Phillies. O'Doul, while not q finished fielder, should add great wallop to the Brooklyn batting order and Thompson should make a good ma nto round out the Robins, infield with Bissonette, Wright and Gilbert.
 The Phillies received two pitchers, Jim Elliott and F.. Dudley, and out fielder Hal Lee, from Brooklyn for O'Doul and Thompson in addition to bundle of cash.
 Reds Get Roush D Cliff. Heathcote of the Cubs and Eddie Roush of the Giants should do much toward giving Cincinnati a good fielding and hitting outfield. Roush, although aging. still ranks with the best of the fly chasers while Heathcote is considered better than the average both at bat and afeld.
 Managers of all the 16 clubs pin much hope in rockies but just how much the new men will help the team will be a matter of conjecture until after the major league season is we'll underway.

SIMON PURESA
 GOOD BATTLERS

Boston, Mass, April 8.-(UP)--. Massachusetts simon pures emerged triumphant from six of the eight final bouts of the National Junior Boxing Tournament at Boston Arena last night.
 The other two bouts went to Chi cago and New York.
 By far the best bout was the 118- pound final between two Massachu- setts boys-FIavio De Boris of Fitch burg and Joe Ferrante of Boston. Both boxers displayed clever fight ing, the decision being awarded De Boris on close margin.
 Only five of the It bouts in the semi-finals and the finals were won by knockouts.

New York. April S-(UP)-En- try of teams representing the Unit ed States army and Canada to-day gave added interest to the National A. A. U. boxing championships to be held at Madison Square Garden, April 27, 28, 29 and 30. Neither Canada nor the U. s. army have been represented in previous tour naments.

uored To Repeat h National League This Year
RALPH JENNY IS
 WINNER OVER LORD
 IN HARTFORD BOUT
Especial to the Democrat )


 Hartford, Conn, April B. Eddie Lord of Waterbury met a tartar in Ralph Lenny, clever young lightweight from Union City, N. J., in one of the twin features of the charity bouts sponsored by the Exchange club at the state armory last night. Lenny was awarded a technical knockout in the sixth round when Referee Billy Con- way stopped the flight. Lord might have gone the limit, but his face had been hammered almost raw by the shower of punches that the New Jersey fighter threw at him.
 In the other feature bout of the night Louis Kid KapIan of Meriden had no trouble in outpointing Billy Lynch, promising lightweight from Providence. Kapian was in front at all times and drove Lynch around the ring continually. When the Rhode Island fighter tried to hang on the Kids shoulders Kaplan coni- Ing to stop Lynch from clinching Kaplan repeatedly broke the holds and mauled Lynch with right and left sInashes to the face and body.
 Lord could make no impression upon Lenny's defense. He seldom got inside of it and failed to land more than a half dozen solid punches throughout the six rounds that the fight lasted. Lenny looked like a conner in the bout, his sensational boxing winning much applause from the small house. Starting cautious ly his left hand kept Lord at dis tance for three rounds. Satisfied that the Brass City battler couldn't penetrate his splendid defense he started to swing with his right and soon had Lord cut up badly. When Lords nose started to bleed in the sixth the referee stepped in and raised Lenny's hand.
 The only damage that Lynch. who came to Hartford with quite repu- .tatfon as q hitter, did on Kaplan was to open his caulifiower ear. It only served to speed up Kaplan whose whirlwind style sent Lynch backward most of the fight.
 In the other fights Micky Flahive, the fighting florist of Hartford, knocked out Jerry Emard of Holyokc in the third round of their sched- uled eight round bout; Emard sub stttuted for Romeo Dubois. Sammy Celber. New York. beat Eddie Reed of Hartford in eight rounds: Johnny Pinkham. Hartford, was given technical knockout over Charley Bergen of New Haven, substituting for Tony Laveiro.

BOWLING

Tonight at Genlots the Connecti- cut Light & Power Co 25 man bowling will line tip in an effort to win back the honors of being the champion mass bowlers of the city. which the railroad wrested from last month The Railroad league defeated them by 213 pins. The Light and Gas combine failed to win any of the three sets. In this particular game eight of the losing team failed to reach the 300 mark, and although D'Vileskis, Smith and Grover rolled more than their quota the crew on the whole failed to hit up to expectations. Jim Garside, who does most of the talking for pub lication on behalf of the Railroad league, claims he has the best 2o man outfit in the city, and anyone that doubts his statement, only needs to step up and toe the line. Always modest, he refers to tonight's game as one in which the Railroad will give the Power Co good work out but refused to give his opinion as to the result. The game scheduled for 8 D. m will be rolled on the top ten alleys at Genlots and should be close and interesting enough to warrant a good attendance.

cIuded Harold Ruel from Washing ton to the Boston Red Sox; Lu Blue from St. Louis Brown to the Chicago White Sox; Phil Todt from the Red Sox to the world champion Phila- deIphia Athletics; Harry Rice from the New York Yankees to the Sen- ators: Joe Sewell from Cleveland to the Yankees; Walter Schang from the Athletics to Detroit and Ralph Perkins from the Athletics to the Tanks.
 Other players whose major league caliber still is in doubt transferred allegiance during the off-season. but unless some unexpected transactions take place the Reds, Robins and Cubs appear to be the only clubs which have reaped any outstanding strength.

Indians Win
 on Freak Goal

Boston. April 8-(UP)-A freak goal late in the final period gave Springfield's Indians 3-2 win over Boston's Bruin Cubs at Boston last night and left the teams tied at two wins apiece in the series for the Canadien-American Hockey league championship.
 What is hoped will be the decid- ing game will be played in Spring field tomorrow night. The teams al- ready have played six games. a total of 150 minutes overtime failing to break in two of the contests.
 Gene Carrigan, center. got credit for the winning tally last night. He lifted a long shot from outside the Boston blue line, the puck caroming off Jack Pratt, Boston defenseman. and past Benny Grant in the Cubs goal.

Harvard Will
 Keep Boxing

Cambridge, April 8-(UP)-The Harvard Athletic association has decided to have an intercollegiate boxing team at Harvard for another year at least.
 This years intercollegiate boxing team was the first in Harvard's his- tory, but the squad reporting to Coach Larry Conley was nearly 50 per cent smaller than in previous years when the boxers worked out merely for exercise or to prepare for intramural competition.
 Next year, Conley will conduct separate classes. for those trying out for the intercollegiate team and those not interested in making their letter.

Unity Prevails

Unity Prevails
 If that Telephone team is the cream of New Haven's Dusty organ ization then there is something phoney in the City of Films. Water- bury certainly had their numbers last night and scored more points from the charity, line than the losers registered from the both the free throw and field zones. It was just another case of well drilled team battling with a quintet made up of individual players and the Brassmen were the former aggregation.
 Stokes Right There
 Bill Stokes, elongated pivot man of the champions, was outstanding in the victory. In addition to an- Eexing three field goals which came at opportune moments. the former Naugatuck High center made good seven free tries in as many attempts Stokes was too much for the Elm Cityites who tried their darndest to to get him out of the game via fouls but all in vain.
 Statistics
 The Brass cohorts dropped in IA of 17 free throws and New Haven registered but in 13 attempts. The locals outshot their victims from the floor 45 to 25, Daly leading the procession with IS shots. Higgis- ton and Wall proved towers of strength in the backcourts and held the Phonemen's forwards to a lone field goal. The agony in details fol- lows:

CLOCK BOWLERS
 SET UP RECORD

Not only did the Waterbury Clock bowlers clnch the Dusty league title last night by taking three games from Wordens but they set a new league record of 1,764 for high team total. In the first game they hit 597. followed this with a 572. and ended with 595 which is good bowling in any league or any city. high single of 142 and high three of 373. Hamel was close behind with a high three of 3GO.
 Red Roche of the Trolleymen was the best bowler of the night. however. He knocked 159 pins in one game and showed 409 for his three. Plume & Atwood bowled high team single with 6O5.

Five of the correspondents picked the Cardinals for first place, the re- maining three selecting St Louis as runner-up. Chicago was given two first place votes with New York re- cefying the other.
 Brooklyn Fouls
 Brooklyn. the most publicized of all clubs this season, failed to gain q first place ballot, getting one for second, four for third, two for fourth and one for sixth. The consensus seems to be that Brooklyn was un- derrated in 1880 and overrated in 1891.
 Votes for the New York Giants were most widely distributed. with one ballot for first. one for second and two each for third. fourth and fifth place. Comments ranged from "the class of the league" down, most Of 1t pointing out the teams pitch ing deficiencies"
 Cardinals Strong
 Supporters of the Cardinals gave as their reason too much pitch ing strength for the rest of the league; heavy power at the plate; have Brillian Frankie F'rish for Spark Plug of defense; and the wisdom of riding with champions until the fall. Those who named the cards to finish no better than second gave the Cards inability to string two good years together and over-confidence as foundations for their belief.
 There was much divergence of opinion regarding the Cubs. who re- ceived two first place, three second place, one third place and two fourth place ballots. The men who named the Cubs to win expressed belief they would win with many games to spare and that Hornsby would be great help. Those who disagreed said that the Cubs infield was shaky and that Hornsby would be c drawback instead of d help.
 Close Race
 With the exception of the ardent Chicago supporters. the correspond : ents agreed that the 1881 race was likely to prove the closest in years with five teams having better than fighting chance for the pennant.

sion are carried out.
 Tese plans call for Sharkey and Camera to meet at Ebbets Field. Brooklyn, June 10, in 15-round charity" bout under the promotion of James J. Johnston. with the win- ner promised titular recognition by the New York commission.
 Under Contract?
 Reputediy Johnston already has both fighters under contract and has secured commission sanction for the bout. Commission rules which provide heavy penalties for promoters carrying on negotiations with suspended boxers prevent Johnston from announcing the match, inasmuch as Camera Is un- der suspension for the California towel throwing" incident which enabled him to win from Bombo Chevalier on Technical knockout when it appeared that the unknown coast negro was about to shatter the Italian "super-man" myth.
 Rcinstatc Camera.
 However, Carnera is scheduled for reinstatement, with Commissioner James Farley's statement to this ef- feet believed to indicate that the official action will be taken Friday. With the suspension out of the way, Garden which calls for Primo to meet the Schmeling- -Stribling sur vivor will be Johnston's only ob- stacle.
 Johnston claims the contract is not binding, and he has an added ace in the hole in the fact that any protest by Madison Square Garden will lay the Garden open to sus- pension for dealing with Q suspen- der boxer.
 Is It Reward:
 Presumably the championship" match is a reward for the commis- sion's flair haired boys"-Johnston and Sharkey. Astute Little Jimmy always has played ball'' with the commission and is to be rewarded by securing sanction for d bout which no other promoter could hope to make.
 ''Commisll" Wants Sharkcy.
 Sharkey is the commissions choice for heavyweight champion--that much is apparent from circum- stances surrounding last years elimination tournament and the dealing with Max Schmeling- and the commission evidently is deter mined to make him the New York title holder. The commissioners contend that inasmuch as they made Schmelingthe champion, they have the right to usurp his title and pass 1t along to Sharkey.
 Clever Handlers.
 Of course, Carnera-or his coterie of handlers-may upset the plans, not that Primo rates as a formidable opponent for Sharkey or any other fighter above the pork and bean" class, but his handlers experiences in Carnera's tank tour during which they resorted to almost every trick save the old stunt of having opponents knocked out by Mallet welding assistants concealed behind the scenery, may have provided them with a stunt which can be used to defeat shar- key.
