Uric LAWSON, the blond
r. battler from Newport
L. News, tonight gets the
opportunity to demon
strate what he has learned
about infighting in the two
weeks that have elapsed since
he got a decision over Vince
Forgione.
Lawson clearly was entitled
to the verdict he received at
Ritchie Coliseum through points
piled up in the early chapters,
but he couldn't have travelled
a single round beyond. the
eight that scrap was limited to.
There is little doubt he was
weakened considerable by For
glone'S disregard for the equa-
torial line, but perfectly legal
punches above it caused most
of his trouble, and he is in for
more Of the same kind this
evening when he mixes with
Bob Goodwin.
The Virginian is a hashy
performer, who throws a lot
of leather and skips around
with the grace of a ballet
dancer, but unless he can make
a long-range affair of it with
Goodwin he faces the prospect
of having the bounce taken
out Of those rubber legs.

CHICAGO, March 15.-Dave Maier,
Milwaukee's southpaw light-heavy-
weight, today was mild favorite to
win the National Boxing Associations
recognition as champion of the di-
vision over George Nichols, Buffalo's
equally left-handed entrant, Friday
night in the Chicago Stadium.
When the elimination tournament
opened last November Maier was
among the favorites, while Nichols was
rated at about 100 to /. No one be-
came much excited over Nichols
chances until he decisively defeated
Billy Jones, Philadelphia Negro, the
big tournament favorite, in his last
performance.

seem to have built themselves
into formidable contenders for
the National League championship.
Their big trade with the Cincinnati
Reds enabled the Dodgers to plug up
two gaping holes in the infield without
sacrifice Of batting power, even though
they did part with Floyd Cavendish
(Babe) Herman, the temperamental
outfielder. who is one Of the best natu-
raj hitters in the game.
The Robins threw in Wally Gilbert
and Ernesto Lombardi with Herman
and received from the Reds Tony Cue
cinello, Joe Strip and Clyde Suke-
forth.
Cuccinello for Herman.
Boiled down, the trade amounted to
an exchange of Cuccinello for Herman.
Strip and Gilbert are third basemen
Sukeforth and lombard catchers. So
1t becomes a trade OF second base
man, Cuccinello, for an outf1elder, Her
man.
On the surface that would appear to
be fairly even trade. Herman fell off
to .3l3 last season and Cuccinello hit
.315, but an analysis would indicate
that Brooklyn will be helped much
more than Cincinnati.
Manager Max Carey now can put on
an infield that will have Del Bissonette
at first, Cuccinello at second, Glenn
Wright at shortStop and Stripp at third
That quartet, granting that Wright's
ankles stand up, seems to compare With
any in the league.
The Dodgers perhaps will miss the
colorful Herman from the outfleld, but
they previously had added Hack Wilson,
powerful batsman himself and hit
ter with a much better runs-batted-1n
record than Herman. Wilson then will
f1ll one outfield post and Frank Oefty)
O'Doul another The third probably
will go to either Johnny Frederick or
Ike Boone.
Must Get Pitching.
Sukeforth will fill the second-string
catching role, with Al Lopez first choice
and Val Picinich the third member Of
the receiving department.
II Max Carey can get the pitching,
then the Dodgers should go places.

If Lawson can use his sting

BY REX COLLIER.

Although waving its technical right
to demand a tax share of the $4,000
ransom paid kidnapers Of the Lindbergh
baby. the Federal Government has
moved with great secrecy to invoke
against the abductors the same penal
provisions of the income tax laws that
put Al Capone behind the bars.
With this end in view, the intelligence
agents of the Internal Revenue Bureau
who attained fame in the Capone case
have been in consultation with Col.
Lindbergh at Hopewel for several
weeks
They were kept advised of the progress
Of negotiations centering about DR.. John
F. Condor. better known as "Jafsie, "
and knew of the final arrangements for
payment of the ransom on April 2.
At the request of Col Lindbergh,
however, they remained away from the
scene of the actual transaction and
thus we're poWerless to prevent perpe-
tion of the ruthless trick by which the
heartbroken father was cheated not only
of his money, but of his stolen son.
Enter Case Quietly.
The Treasury's activities in the case
have been known to The Star for sew
eral weeks, but publication of the facts
was withheld in a desire not to embar-
rass the Government or Col. Lindbergh.
The story now can be told without harm

W|NE-bEER APPEAL
GIVEN CONGRESS
Modification League Petition
Said to Have 5000, 900
Signatures.
By the Associated Press.

[
While Senator Wagner, Democrat, of
New York was advocating prohibition
repeal before a Senate committee, a
voluminous petition urging modification
of the national liquor laws was pre-
sented today to a group of anti-pro-
hibition Congressman on the Capitol
steps.
The Senate committee in its hearings
on bills for a change in prohibition at
present is hearing the proponents of
such legislation. Senator Blaine, Re-
publican. Wisconsin. said this after
noon that supporters of the present
! laws would be heard beginning next
| Tuesday.
Meanwhile, it was announced the
Bingham bill to permit per cent beer
would be considered by the Senate
Manufactures Committee on Monday.
The committee is closely divided be-
tween friends and foes of prohibition.
Mrs. Lorraine Catlin Brewer of New
York, vice president of the Congress
Sional Districts Modification League,
said the appeal for light wines and beer
had 100000 signatures from voters in
3l9 of the ABS congressional districts.
In his testimony, Senator Wagner de-
cried existing conditions.
Miss M Louise Gross of New York,
State chairman of the Women's Com
mittee for Repeal of the Eighteenth
Amendment, concurred in Wagner S
views and added that if the prohibition
lists formed third party the vets
| might organize one of their own"
In contrast with yesterday, when the
spacious majority room of the Senate
Office Building was crowded by woman
spectators, most of them members of
the WOmen's Organization for National
Prohibition Reform, only a handful
listened today.
Alarm Behind Action.
Wagner said those daily joining the
ranks of the advocates of repeal are
those of our citizens who have a care
for the habits of their children, who
are alarmed at the organized expansion
of crime and violence, who are con-
cerned for the dignity of their Govern
ment. which is openly belittled and for
the supremacy of the law which Is
fagrantly defied and successfully chal-
| lenged"
He has introduced resolution for
repeal.
The New York Democrat said 'in
January, 1881, when the Wickersham
| Commission recommended the revision
of the eighteenth amendment 1 took
the liberty to suggest on the floor OF the
Senate that revision was but half a step
which must be completed by repeal"

Sible," he added. my reply was that
repeal was inevitable"

riched the gunman and racketeer and
had financed every unspeakable crime.
