BAKERS STARTED
 UNDER NEW CODE
Billion Dollar Industry Has Taken on the Blue
 Eagle To-day

Washington, July 9-(UP)-The billion dollar baking industry to- day went under a Blue Eagle code, which the national recovery ad- ministration said would not in- crease the price of bread and might even lower it. Karl Haucb. expert of the consumers advisory board, was made a code authority member to see that unfair price structures are not established.
 The MIRA said that it's minimum wage regulation of 40 cents an hour for bakers, with five cents less for southern workers, would have little effect on the bakers payrolls. Workers in the industry always bave been we'll paid, the MIRA said. TShe maximum hours of 40 per week in mechanical bake shops and AS in hand shops, how ever, were expected to increase operating costs somewhat.
 This increase would be offset by economies in the fair practices section of the code. Premiums with bread are outlawed, while bakers can refuse to accept unsold bread from their retail outlets MIRA officials said these regula- tions would keep the price from going up and might even reduce it somewhat.

JAP HAS CHANCE
 TO COP THREE
 CUSHION GROWN

Philadelphia, Jan 23-(UP)- Kinrey Matsuyama, Japanese cue ace from New York, will win the national three-cushion billiard championship tonight if he beats Alfredo De Orc, 71-year-old Cub an born New Yorker, in the sched. uled final match of the tourney.
 However, should Matsuyama lose, the tourney will be thrown into a four-way tie for first place, necessitating a play-off.
 The Japanese expert retained undisputed command of first place yesterday, though idle while two ether matches were played. De Gro, who had a chance to move from second into a first-place tie with Matsuyama, dropped to fourth position when beaten last night by Len Kenney of Chicago. The score was 50 to AZ in 68 in- nings.
 It was Kenney's final game, and the victory boosted him into a tie for second place with Charles Mo- Court of Cleveland.
 In an afternoon match, Arthur Woods of New York won his final game, 50 to 48 in 61 innings, over Earle Look&baugh of Chicago.

It will be a bitter blow indeed to the Pina-W Winch plans if the Fargo Express derails their young MT Ross in the scheduled 10-round non-title bout at the Coliseum.
 The odds are z to 5, in favor of Barney repeating his Chicago vic- tory of last March over Petrolle, but plenty of Billy's admirers doubt his ability to do so. They are backing their opinions with their hoardings, and it has become heavy betting fight. The odds may tighten before they enter the ring.
 Packs q KayO
 Some admirers are confident enough to predict that old Wilyum will crawl out from under his horse blanket and knock the champion among the artichokes before the eighth round.
 The great difference of opinion as to the outcome rises from the fact that Billy, the Duluth dyna- hitter. is entering the ring at about 142 pounds. This is his natural fighting weight. No lightweight ever had the audacity to crawl through the ropes against ePtrolle when he was slugging with that behind him.
 When Ross took the 1O-round decision over him in Chicago, Billy weighed about 13S. He claimed the pairing down process made him as weak as boarding house soup.
 Yesterday, as he tapered off training, he promised that "an- other" Petrolle will be meeting MT Ross at the Coliseum.
 Barney will scale about 137 pounds, and his followers believe his speed, stamina and youth will overcome Petrolle's superior punch ing.
 { Looking Ahead
 Plan and Winch are considering offers from promoters of the New York Milk Fund for a bout with McLarnin this summer; also from Nate Lewis of the Chicago Stadium and from a Los Angeles promoter.
 If he beats Petrolle," explained Winch, "we're pretty sure of lin- ing him up with McLarnin this summer. believe Pop Foster, Me- Larnin's manager, would accept the bout as it would draw a big gate. Also, Foster always liked to get opponents weighing less than Jimmy.
 "There might be some argument about the weight because we would insist that McLarnin come in un- der IA pounds. This would give him a seven or eight-pound ad- vantage over Barney. Foster prob ably would object to that at first, wanting a bigger advantage"
