 Please get him in the tourna- ment," begged Gutierrez. "Choco- late says he can make the weight. He is anxious to be the champion again." Johnston was happy to learn of Chocolates intentions for the Gar den ring master realizes the Cuban lad is still a good drawing card and he is anxious to use him in the aim- phitheatre.

 Tn the American League, the Senators are ranked first because of superior power and balance and the perfect insertion of Johnny Stone into Goose Goslin's right field post.
 Detroit should climb to second because of the aggressiveness in- spired by the new Player Mickey Cochrane, and speed, bat ting punch and good pitching.

 Kacey Banquet

New York, April 13-He wasn't

 For James Joy Johnston, the
 Machiavelli of matchmaking, the
 Merlin of Maui. the Thurston. of
 Thud, the gray fox of fistiana, had blundered. James Joy Johnston, who would be the last to deny
 that his is the greatest brain in boxing, had boggled things up. He was out to all callers at Madison square garden today. His twelve-extension telephone line had been clipped. Burglar proof docks guarded his office doors. But he
 had forgotten to plug the keyholcs and 1t was through one of them
 that I saw the little giant in his travail.
 There he sat at his desk like Rodin's thinker, only he used both fists. His face was q study in mis- cry, disgust, shame. woe and plain old fashioned billiousness.

To one who had always known the rasputin of the ring as a chipper, cocky. person, it was indeed g touching scene.

He wants to pay Camera on the basis of 37 1-2 after the milk fund has ha dits cut. Camera wants his cut from the actual net.

 This argument. which threatens to cost the garden the finest heavyweight fight since Dempsey and Tunney fought at Chicago, could easily have been avoided. But Johnston blundered in drawing up the contract for Primo. The pain of this blunder is made doubly acute by the fact he had consid- cred it his masterpiece.

The usually thrilling National League brawl should be more heart-lashing than ever because of the vast uncertainty surrounding the world champion New York Giants and the apparent power of the Cards, Pirates, Cubs and Braves. .
 Take Your Pick
 The American circuit competi- ton, which recently was three- cornered affair, has developed into g similar five-club fight. The pen nant-winning Washington Senators may be hard pressed by the Tigers, Yankees, Red Sox and Indians. Even the apparently wrecked Attn letics may surprise if Willy Connie Mack has anything up his sleeve.
 In the National League, the Cardinals were picked to win be- cause of all-round class and even balance. Also because of confidence in player-Manager Frankie Frisch, starting his first full season at the helm.

Anything can happen and prob ably will, after an 0ff-season of momentous transition featured by wholesale player shifts, restoration of weak-sister clubs, weakening of former powers. managerial chang es, injection of minor league blood and adoption of the uniform live ball.
 However; thorough analysis of all the evidence at hand (using chronology, physiology, psychology and astrology) indicates that the 16 clubs should finish the season as
