NEW YORK, May 3. - The sea-
sons first intersectional baseball
warfare was to flame on eight ma
Jor league fronts today as eastern
National clubs invade the west and
west American teams storm the
Atlantic seaboard.
Before the next cross-country
shift occurs, about two weeks hence
this eastwest fighting should
shake up the two divisions suffi-
GENTLY to reveal true relative club
strengths.
In today's feature games, the
champion Giants risk their Ma
tional League lead in the first of a
three day series against the Pirates
at Pittsburgh, and the Yankees
will defend their American lead
against Detroit's challenge in the
opener of three game embroil-
ment at New York.
The Giants recaptured the Ma
tional lead yesterday by shading
Brooklyn, to 5, while the Cubs lost
again. Lefty O'Doul IS pinch homer
in the eighth with Terry and OFT
aboard won the third straight over
the Dodgers. OFT drove out his
sixth homer in the third with one
on.
Pittsburgh registered its second

TROJANS AND
STANF ORD To
STAGE BATTLE
BY LEICESTER WAGNER
United Press Staff Correspondent


LOS ANGELES, May 3-Two of
the greatest competitive track and
field teams in the country-Stan-
ford and Southern California-meet
in the Memorial coliseum here Sat
urday in a carnival of cinder churn-
ing which is expected to provide new
coast, and, perhaps, world records.
The outcome of the meet is toss
up, with perhaps no more than five
points separating the teams.
The crowning achievement Of the
day would be for John Lyman,
Stanford's original hard luck guy"
to regain his claim to the world
shot-putting title.
Lyman was the worlds record
holder for exactly one week, kow-
towing to Jack Torrance of Louisi-
ana State without an opportunity
of meeting him in open competi-
ton.
Two weeks ago Lyman startled
the world, but not his coach, Dink
Templeton, by heaving the shot 50
feet, inch. Last Saturday, Tor
rance bettered that mark by one
foot, Y inch, and Lyman is hoping
to avenge himself by creating new
record.
In practice he has bettered 55
feet.
Stanford will be hampered by the
loss of Capt. Gus Meier, National
intercollegiate champion in the
high hurdles, who had been counted
on to produce double victory ir
the high and low barriers. A bro
ken wrist will keep Meier on the
sideline, and probably will NEAR
that Bob Lyon, I. c. "A champion
of Southern California will win the
high sticks, with Ed Ablowich, a re-
formed Trojan quarter-miler, anc
Sam Klopstock of Stanford putting
on a real duel in the low hurdles.
One of the best races of the day
will be the quarter mile in which
Johnny Mccarthy of Troy and A
Blackman of Stanford are the CHIEF
competitors.

FIRST INTERSECTTONAL CAMPAIGN
OF Big LEAGUERS STARTS TODAY

Warneke's IS first loss in four starts.
st. Louis took sole command of
fifth place by completing three
game sweep over Cincinnati, to
l. The Cards collected nine hits
off Frey and Lindsey, while Carle-
ton and Dizzy Dean allowed the
Reds eight.
They were the only National
games scheduled.
The Yanks retained first place
in the American section despite
their 6 to 2 beating by Washington.
Joe Cronin IS outfit staged a six
run squirt in the first and breezed
through behind Monte Weaver IS
discreet nine-hit pitching. Van
Alta was blasted from the New
York mound in the first. He was
followed by Murphy and Smythe.
Together they allowed IL safeties.
This victory enabled washington
to replace the Red Sox at fourth
position when Boston bowed to the
Athletics, II to IL, after an old
fashioned slugging match. The
AS battered four pitchers for l6
hits, including Bob Johnson IS hom-
er in the seventh. One of Bos-
ton s 13 safeties was Bucky Wal
ter IS homer in the ninth with two
on. Boston contributed five errors
Idle Cleveland replaced Detroit
at second position when the Tigers
lost to the Browns, 5 to 2, giving
the Browns the series, two games
to one. Two home runs off Vic
Sorrell scored all the st. Louis
runs. Burns hit for the circuit in
the third with Cliff aboard, and
Pepper did likewise in the fifth
with West and Burns on base.
They were the only games sched-

United Press Sports Editor

NEW YORK, May 3.-Vince Dun
dee is laying his middleweight title
claims on the line at Paterson to-
night, meeting up with one Al Dia-
mond, pride Of Paterson, for Is
rounds or less. Dundee is champion
as far as the United States is con-
cerned. Europe rates Marcel Thiel
of France is the title holder and the
International Boxing Federation is
not at all pleased that we do not do
likewise.
It's an all-New Jersey event. Dun
dee is from Belleville. Vince is 3
to ! favorite.
The great Madison Square gar
den readjustment is nearly complete
with, as far as can be observed,
everybody happy. Col. John S. Ham,
mond bought a commanding block
of shares from Richard F. Hoyt and
it was assumed that Col. Hammond
would install himself as president,
easing Col. John Reed Fitzpatrick
out of the picture. Instead, Col.
I1dilIilOllu tohCu wi. hll n llttJl I'm
to remain as president.
While formal announcement was
lacking it is assumed that the "old
gang" will stay in their respective
places at the garden, with Jimmy
Johnston heading the boxing de-
partment.
Keeping Reed" was a smart
move.
Personal opinion as to the most
attractive names among the possible
Kentucky derby starters: Blue
Again, Cavalcade, Quasimodo and
Bazaar. Least attractive: Sgt
Byrne, Agrarian, Peace Chance and
Speedmore.
They have made a lot of new
rules for this years indianapolis

important is the one limiting fuel
consumption to As gallons per car
Thus each Car must average II

Lad WAS COWBOY
FOR SHORT Time
AND THEN FINALE
Fourteen Year Old Boy
Killed His Indians in
Hartford Store

Hartford, Conn, April 30-(UP)
Angelo, like most boys of his age,
(he's 14), nursed a secret desire to
be a cowboy, to ride the open
range, pack six shooter and gal
lop off astride spirited mount in
pursuit Of the elusive redskin.
Such thoughts were passing
through his mind when he wan
dared down an alleyway at the rear
Of g. Fox & Company's department
store Sunday afternoon and espied
an open window. Angelo was fla
miliar with the store, having walk
ed through the place several times,
so he climbed in and made straight
for the sixth floor.
There he beheld a miniature log
cabin, cowboy and Indian suits ga
lore, a mechanical exercising horse
and toy revolvers and lariats.
Selecting a $22 cowboy outfit, he
donned bullet belts, guns and a
lasso and, dressing several forms
with Indian suits, mounted the me-
chanical steed and started his
imaginary dash across the plains.
Several hours later the night
Waterman, making his rounds,
came upon Angelo just as the last
redskin "bit the dust"
He hauled Angelo from the sad
die, set the place in order and
marched him to police headquar-
tiers. The boy said his father was
an invalid and his mother had run
away when he was a baby. He said
he entered the store ''just to play
cowboy and Indian"
Police said he confessed stealing
a dollar and a watch from a clerk
at the same store Saturday and he
was held at Juvenile detention
home.

Once prominent west side
democratic politician, Mclaughlin
is not unfamiliar with investiga-
tons. When he was arraigned
Saturday on conspiracy to kidnap
charges, he revealed he could not
make 100000 bond, partly be-
cause of another bond of $4,000
under which he had been free on
charges of leading a nationwide
stolen bond disposal system.
Mead was described by police as
the head of the most successful
gang OF confidence men in the
country. He Is said to own two
Chicago buildings.
Federal agents were informed
that Mead was the operator of q
confidence game In WHICH Martin
| Wunderlich lost $4,000.
Wunderlich, a st Paul contrac-
tor, allegedly went to st Paul and
raised $4,000 cash from the Bre-
peared. 1t was believed that Wun-
derlich's success in raising money
with Bremen led to his being
marked for the kidnapping.
Bremen is the son of Adolf Bre-
mer, brewer and banker, who with
his brother, Otto, is powerful in

Dishon0red By Navy He
Performed Heroic Act
to Get Back

New York, April 30.-(UP).-
Whether it was to do honor to the
fleet or to test his nerve for an
aviator's job, Frank Gushing, 81 !,
leaped 1876 feet from the center
span Of Manhattan bridge into East

Cushing, one third class sea-
man in the navy, brought dishonor
upon himself and his mates by go
ing A. w. 0. l.. to ny across the
Atlantic for the glory Of the navy.
Unfortunately his plan smashed In
Brooklyn.
To recover his lost honor he
made the heroic leap yesterday. He
planned to have picture postcards
made and sell them OF the feel
which now is steaming toward New
York from the Panama canal.
Cushing also said he made the
jump just to see II he had lost his
nerve.
Cushing wore a homemade steel
plate which fastened to his abb
domen. This kept his body rigid in
the air.

When she first met Faber, she
testified, he was a student at Mas
sachusetts Institute of Technology
from which he later graduated
with honors.
Exceedingly studious, he had q
bad temper and was very irritable
lat times, she said.
He would sit in room full of
people and never pay any atten-
ton to them or speak to them" she
testified.
Faber's conduct was far different
from that of most boys she knew,
Miss Knellar explained.
HE was not very affectionate,"
she said, land during our romance
most OF the affection came from
me-"
About two years ago, she said,
she noticed that he had become
friendly with Murton Millen and
from then on he did not see her SO
much as formerly. Faber never told
her that Murton dominated him,
Miss Knellar said, "but could see
that Murton did domiante him."
