RED CROSS AWARDS MADE AIT CROSBY
France Will. Spend
 $1,32O,O ,OOO For Plan
 Of News Propaganda

Paris, April 7.-UP)-An ap- propriation of 33,O0O,OO0 francs
 (about s1.32O,O00) for the speeding
 up of Frances propaganda organi-
 zation throughout the world, par ticularly in the United States, had the approval of the chamber of deputies to-day.
 The appropriation, passed as an item in the 1888 budget for the foreign office, provides for a gen. eral reorganization of the French propaganda services. The foreign office emphasized that the present news channels would be used, so far as possible, including Ameri- can newspapers and certain news agencies (other than the United Press) for the dissemination of in- formation concerning official af- fairs.
 Former Premier Herriot, refer
 ring to the propaganda appropri- ations during debate on hte foreign affairs budget, said 1t was necessary
 to ensure that exact information about France was sent abroad. He approved the establishment of a new government information service, and added:
 "The foreign press, especially the American press, has not been suf- ficiently informed about France"
 Herriot offered the colla boration of the foreign affairs commission, of which he is chairman, in de- velOping better information service.
 The propaganda program, con- tained in a 175-page document, de- voted the first 59 pages to details or reorganization of the foreign office press bureau, and then said:
 "As concerns America, profound inquiries have been made among French personalities who recently have returned from the United States, concerning the anti-French campaign and means of defeating it, as well as inquiry among American personalities and Ameri- can Journalists resident in Paris.
 These inquiries have allowed us to establish a general, basic plan to be undertaken in the near fu- ture by the development of the press service at the Quai D'Orsay."
 The fourth paragraph on page GO of this document says that mong the preliminary steps to be taken as outlined by Foreign Min- l6LtI JOocpIl ID ttS speeding up of the study of the Hearst newspapers to permit prompt reply to anti French at- tacks."
 The explanation of the purpose for which the foreign office alone in the French government will spend ?3.000,000 francs on propa- ganda said:
 "Our program consists of gath ering European news and organiZ- ing the diffusion of this news, as adapted as possible to foreign countries
 "The size of this program has required several steps. First, in 1881 and through 1882 our efA forts were consecrated to the or ganization and the diffusion of European news of French origin to

South America, the Orient and North Africa.
 Tt is hoped by the end of 1888 to circulate this news throughout Europe, insofar as circumstances in each country permit.
 Tt will be possible to reach the United States and, in a general fashion, all North American na- tions, otherwise than through the intermediary of foreign newspaper correspondents.
 "The Quai DOrsay press section is now organizing for the direction through the colla aboration of one of our principal news agencies, of French news going abroad, es- pecially to America. The Quai D'Orsay assures the technical and financial control of this news ser vice"

than satisfied with Mickey's
splendid condition the astute Doc
returned to Boston to turn loose q
broadcast and incidentally to place
few wagers on his great little
fighter.
The Old Steam
Business detained me on the
coast" said the Doc, but I flew
all the way In from Los Angeles
and one glance at Mickey shows
me that Trainer Bill Bloxham has
done a grand job on my fighting
Irishman. I want to bet some
money that Brouillard never hears
the bell ring for the tenth round,
and I want to tell New England
fans that IL Jack Sharkey Is serious
about lighting again, my little
bulldog will fight him at one of
the Boston ball parks In August
and as an inducement I'll lay
twenty-five grand on the line as a
guarantee for Sharkey's end.
Brouillard may be great little
fighter, but he's never yet been hit
by a guy that can sock like Mickey,
- Lou will do well II he goes six
rounds"
Another Angle
With that blast the good Doc
tor hoped between the sheets FOR
some needed sleep, while Match
maker Ames got busy on some fu-
turtles. Telephone calls failed to
locate either Jack Sharkey or his
managers, but Ames talked with
Brouillard at his Quincy camp and
| relayed Kearns broadcast to the
fiery Frenchman. Lou nearly tore
| ~ hn
yelled, "That old guy knock me
don't be surprised IL Walker Is the
follow that gets flattened an in
that case, wouldn't need any kid
ding to take crack at Sharkey,
myself. I'll weight 1856 for Wal
ker and in O couple Of months I'll
touch 10 pounds and at that
weight I'll be big enough to take a
crack at Sharkey or any of those
heavywelghts. After Thursday
night Walker will hang up his
gloves for good and you can tell
him and Kearns I said So"
So, the stage Is set for a real
fight at the Garden, Thursday
night. Both principals are tuned
to the peak of condition and chat
ing to go like highly nervous race
horses. Unquestionably Walker
will start slight favorite by rea-
son Of his long experience, ring
craft and extraordinary punching
power. sBut, that won't mean q
thing to Broulllard who Is now at
the very crest Of his career and
has all the fire, stamina and fight
ing ambition that makes q cham
pion.
Scllout Ahead
| That New England knows q real
fight when 1t sees one Is attested
by the extraordinary demand for
tickets. G arrying the heaviest
reservation list in years, the Gar
den box office force were yester-
day selling as fast as four men
could take cash over the window
lodge only a tornado can pre-
vent the attendance Of the biggest
crowd In years.
Both Walker and Brouillard
completed their training yesterday
and today both will confine their
activities to easy limbering up. The
boys weigh in at the Garden at 3

LEADING BATTERs
DID YOU KNOW THAT

The eighteen inning contest be-
tween the Brooklyns and the
Washington Hills last Sunday was
the longest overtime russell since
the league started in 1928 =. :.
The Washington Hills have
dropped four Of their eight games
played this season by one run
margin. Starting the season by
dropping the opener to the Tom
mics 2 to 3, to the Tribunes 4 to 8,
to the Brooklyns a to s, to Water
Vile 8 to 0, and their latest loss
was Q to ~ defeat in an eigh-
teen inning tilt to the Brooklyns.
Probably Manager Unix of
the Hills had better look around
for n good luck charm in order to
bring victories to his team. (.
IA players in the City league are
hitting 800 or over. Harry
Melvin, pilot Of the Sacred Hearts
pulled n fine stunt in signing the
services OF Eddie Ragis, former
Crosby High star outfielder and
Young Tuckey of Naugatuck to his
squad. Both youngsters will learn
plenty from the coaching ability OF
Manager Melvin and Bill Sheehy.
two veteran sandlotters OF the city.
Our popular prexy Of the
City League, Joe Brophy, Is still in
terested in the Hills, for he had
coached them to the City titles In
the years Of 1927 and 1928. A
great hand should be given Prexy
Brophy for the wonderful way he
Is conducting the City league the
past few years. Johnny ker-
win has high hopes of leading his
Tribunes to their first champion
ship of the City league, and secur-
ing Fontana for the third base po-
sition has strengthened his array
for the race this season.
