BAR0TRA SAD AS
 NET PLAY WEARS

Biarritz, France. April 17-(UP) Jean Borotra, the bounding bas- que, dean of the French Davis cup team, last night let out his annual moan about losing his bounce be- cause of old age.
 "I will not be able to play in the singles this year." he said. Its too fatiguing. If the team finds 1t necessary, I'll compete in the dou- bles."
 But the hero of the 1893 chal- lenge round was certain that Hem ri Cochet was in fine shape, and that the French team was certain to succeed in its sixth straight de- fense of the historic tennis tro- phy. If the United States should be so fortunate as to make the challenge round. Borotra would be there to see Cochet avenge his For est Hills defeat by Ellsworth Vines. He said Christian Boussus probably would play in the cup defense.

VICNALI IN STAR
 BOUT. WITH BAKER ON STAMFORD CARD
Waterbury Boy to Go Erie day-Laveria and COn= ley in Semi-Final Ses= sion

Stamford, April 17-Phil Baker of Norwalk, and Joe Vignalli of Waterbury, have been signed by Al Caroly. matchmaker for the Stam- ford Sporting Club, for the eight round star bout on the next card to be presented at Colum bus hall here on next Friday night, April 21. Caroly had been trying un- successfully for some weeks to bring these two battlers together in what should prove one of the "naturals" of the indoor season.
 Hard Hitters
 Both Vignalli and Baker have been bombing their way through all kinds of fistic opposition at Columbus hall during the past few months and have finally emerged as top-notch foes for one another so much in fact, that admirers of the rival junior lightweights have been boosting their favorite for this particular punch party in no uncertain manner.
 For his six-round semi-final bout, Caroly has signed Eddie Con- ley, Danbury natter. and Tony La yiero, Bristol bomber, and they will enter the ring at about 141 pounds.
 Matchmaker Caroly will an. nounce the rest of his battle bill very shortly and tickets for the show will be on sale at Matt Fen erty's Smoke Shop.

 Scmi-FinaI Setto
 Steve Carr, up and coming mid dleweight sensation of Meriden. will mix mitens with Jimmy Ca pola, favorite New York armory slugger in the semi-final attraction of weight rounds.

 Jimmy Foxx, Babe Ruth, Al Simmons or Earl Averill probably will beat him out, because the Tanks of 1883. are so powerful.
 Yankee officials believe that If Gehrig were playing with a second division club he might break Babe Ruths' all-time mark of 60 circuit ciouts. They rate him the great est potential batsman in the ma 5ors-greater than Jimmy Foxx. baseball. But they don't figure him to lead the league in home runs, simply because he doesn't have to.
 How He Works
 However, they do depend on him to win ball games. Hes one of the greatest winning players of all time. Columbia Lou be- lieves games are played to be won. He's interested in scores and per- nants. He'll break his neck to win a game, but when it's won or vir- tually won, he's the first Tank to take things easy and coast along.
 His clubmates have talked to him many times about this coast ing business, but Gehrig Is not in- terested in records. Although he's apparently trying to break Deacon Scott's mark of 1907 consecutive games, club officials are confi- dent he would remain out of the 130Sth contest if his absence would assure the team of q victory.
 Lou drove out his third home run yesterday in the first inning with Babe Ruth aboard, to star: the Tanks to a 5-to-4 victory over the Philadelphia Athletics, the'T fourth triumph in four games played. Bob Johnson gave the As their first run in the fifth with q homer. The Mackmen out hit the Tanks to [. but the New Yorkers punched hits and walks off Rube Walberg and Tony Ere ftas. Don Brennan and Wllcy Moore pitched for the Tanks.
 Terrell Injured
 Cleveland registered it's thir2 straight victory by humbling the St Louis Browns 2 to 1. This win may have been costly to the 1n- dians because their ace hurler, Yves Terrell. pulled a tendon in his shoulder and was relieved in the seventh by Clint Brown. The Browns got six hits while the h. dians pounded Lloyd Brown, Sam Gray and Jack Knott for 13.
 Rain washed out Boston at Washington and Chicago at De- troit.
 The New York Giants finally opened their National league sea son by battling 14 innings to II deadlock with Brooklyn. The zane was called because of dark mega. Shaute for Brooklyn and Hubbell for New York went Il in- nings before retiring.
 Boston's Braves opening their scrson were blanked to hT the Phillies when young Jack Berly limited the tribe to two hits. The Phillles found Huck 3etts for five safeties.
 Red Lucas also turned in two-hit game as Cincinnati regis tered it's first victory of the sea son, blanking the St Louis Cardin- ads, 2 to 0. The Reds battered Derringer and Stout for 12 hits.
 Pittsburgh at Chicago was raincd out.

Br1dgepOrt, Aprll l1-belOre dH- other large crowd, the All Scots of this city clinched the championship of Bridgeport Sunday. defeating the Swedish A. c. by the score of 2-1 in the replayed tie of the final round of the Bridgeport cup com petition. The game was played at Newfield park and was keenly con- tested from start to finish with the the game but the great display of Sonny Baum in goal saved the day for the Scots as he was in wonder ful form and played a herois game throughout.
 Captain George Smith, recognized as the greatest half-back in the state was unable to turn out for the All Scots owing to a leg injury he sustained in the game last week between the same two teams and his absence was severely felt. Both teams played hard soccer in the first half and despite the fact that both goals were frequently visited neither side was able to score.
 The second half started up at terrific speed, both teams trying hard to score and the fans did not have long to wait for score as the Swedish club attacked strongly and were awarded penalty kick and Ihlstrom put the team in the lead which it held for 20 minutes. Dur ing the next five minutes the game was lost as the All Scots came back strong and netted a couple of goals.
 The first was the result of a pen atty kick from which Jack Brown equalized the score while two min- utes later, g. melee ensued in the Swedish goal and Lewy jumped up andheaded the ball in the net.
