CINCINNATI, O., Feb. 27. - Maybe it's old-fashioned, in a way, but the note struck by Powel Cros- ley, Jr., millionaire manufacturer and sportsman, upon taking over ownership of the Cincinnati Reds appeals to local fandom and base ball folk generally as refreshingly new in this era of sports for profits sake.
 Crosley announced his motive in taking over the club and open ing his purse for enhancement of its playing personnel was a mat ter of civic responsibility" a phrase seldom linked, these days, with big league sports business.
 Availability of the Crosley bank account may have come too late to do much good in the mid-win- ter trading season, but a start was made in the immediate pur- chase of Dazzy Vance from St Louis Even so, as most experts fear, the Dazzler has passed his age of great usefulness, the move indicated that the Crosley purse strings were indeed hanging loose and that no bets would be over looked.
 With that sort of front-office willingness to put out" the pep pery Larry MacPhail to make the most of the material and a new manager in Bob O'Farrell, Red land fans again have renewed hopes of seeing their team climb out of the depths of the second division.

To feel the softer Uinds that blop,
To hear the bluebird's song;
And possibly, upon the side,
To find C Sun-sDept tee,
To gipe the good old pill q ride
Somewhere beyond the green diUide,

Spring is seeking Northern plains,
But I can't Uait to see
The peach blooms marching up the

The shining siluer OF the rains
That sing again to me;
And possibly, uith flashing blade,
To hit one for the pin,
To drift along by hill and glade
And curse at puts should hdue made
That did not tumble in.
Spring is marching North, they sag,
But noD on restless feet;
cannot tDatt another day
To hear the bluebird's roandeldy
Along the blossomed beat;
And possibly, i0ith jumping soul,
III hit one straight and far,
I'll match the Uhite pill sail and roll
And then I'll find the nineteenth hole
And try to get my par.

are going cunning for the
= National League prize this
season with high hopes that a
newcomer to the crew will mean
the difference between first
place and the runner-up posi-
ton they have occupied the last
two years.
The burly base baller in whose
experience Manager George Gibson
is placing considerable trust is Charles
Red" Lucas, late of the Cincinnati
Reds pitching corps and a pinch
hitter who really hits in the
pinches."
Lucas landed with the Pirates after
eight years with the Reds. Manager
Gibson reasons the broad shouldered
right-hander should bolster his hurl-
ing staff almost on the strength Of
his 1888 record. For tail end club,
Red" won 10 games and lost 16. His
pinch hitting is expected to provide
one of the hot spots of the Pirate
attack. During his eight years tenure
at Cincinnati, Lucas compiled pinch
hitting grand average of around 400.
He hit for .287 in rs games last
season.

less. but Loughran still was moving

round was over.
A Carnera-Baer battle might not
draw down a million, but it should

Appeal Is Undisputed.
BY GRANTLAND RICE.

"COLLEGE athletes go out for pro
foot ball, pro wrestling and pro
base ball. There are over 500
college pro foot ball players-there
are several hundred pro base ball
players from college teams-there are
any number of ex-college wrestlers.
But the big money would be in pro
boxing If college athletes could only
develop the same skill they show in
other sports in which they are prop
erly trained and taught"
There isn't any debate about the
appeal, lure or popularity of the fight
game. 1t can pack in more thrills
and more action than any other sport.
But most Of the fighters either won't
fight or they don't know how to fight.
Some college or university will get
smart some day and hire Leonard or
Loughran to teach boxing, which, in
itself, is one of the greatest of all
sports. There are too many fighters
now who expect to be paid good
money for merely taking a bow, after
