New York, April - tUP) -
James J. Braddock was key man

Boston, April 3.-UP)-Assert-

Boston Cubs captured the first
game of the Fontaine cup play-off
for the Canaan Hockey league
championship with the Providence
Reds. by a 10 score at Boston
Garden last night.
The second game of the three

Though they won by only the
slim margin Of one goal, the Cubs
outplayed the Reds from start to

looking for q clean sweep for the
local favorites. But for the ex-
cellent. and sometimes spectacular,
goal tending of Paddy Byrne In the
Reds net, the game would have
sheen rout. In contrast Percy

make in the Cub cage.
Phil Besler, chunky wing re-

of professional hockey. scored the
only goal. blasting home a shot set
up by Joe Jerwa and Alex Motter.

In the closing minutes OF the
game the Reds repeatedly sent
five-man charges down the ice, but
the Cub defense stiffened. and they

Speedier Game Wanted By
Coaches at Chicago

Chicago, April 3.-(UP) Bias
ketball coaches from all parts OF
the country converged on Chicago
today for a discussion of rules that
may bring radical alterations In
the game.
Many coaches considered it cer-
tain that the rules committee will
Danish the traditional center jump,
except at the beginning Of periods.
Proponents of the change believe
1t will speed UP the game.
Virtually every coach present
for the annual meeting of the Ma
tional Basketball Coaches associa-
ton was interested in increasing
the games audience" appeal.
Another proposed rule change
would lift the basket from its To-
foot height to IL feet. 1t was sug-
gested that increasing the size Of
the hoop by two inches, increasing
scoring, would please spectators.

Crucial Game TO-fnOr-
row Night

Anxious to return to warfare af-
ter a layoff Of two weeks the Rey-
mond Hillies basketball quintet Is
printing its guns for the Brooklyn
Z championship battle with the
Falcons Thursday evening at the
Brooklyn Y. Winners OF the first
round with eight straight victories
the Hillies were handed an unex-
pected setback in the second round
elimination play by the Cadets.
Central Board Official
Henry Darlington, central board
official has been secured to referee
the battle and from all accounts
all attendance records at the Y
hut will be shattered Thursday
evening. The Hillies hold a vic
tory over the Falcons but the
Brooklyn boys hope to even the
count tomorrow night and walk
off with the championship of the
Y for 1885. In the first game
between these two rivals the Fall
cons got off to an early lead and
gave the doughboys battle for
three periods but weakened in the
final quarter and the Hillics
walked off with an easy victory.
Defending Champs
The Hillies, last years title hold
ers will endeavor to bottle up Ben
ny Labutis, leading scorer of the
league this year, as it was Labutis
who played the leading role for
his mates in the last game.
Tomorrow's game should be a
tossup with the Falcons depending
on Mike Higgiston and Benny La
butts to keep the title in the Brook
lyn Y while the Hillies will rely
on Pete Pomponio and Freddy Sui
Ivan, former wildly stars, to re-
peat for another season.
Only one game will be played

Elks' Boz0ling Notes

Cy Dvileskis did his best to re-
gain high average which he has
so often held. by knocking off u
374 pinfall which Melted his team
3 points against Blanchard. The
Beer Barons' total pinfall was
1886, just 200 pins higher than
their opponents.
Adrian Donahue started the
Teachers off with a 1876 single to
sew up the first contest and in
spire them on to four point win,
which sent them back into q tie
for second place. In the other two
games, Pete Pronovost held the
spotlight hitting 116 and 1913.
1t was tough night for the Nc
Partland crew, who lost four tC
Gearing, with every game being
decided in very decisive manner
While Bill Dunleavy hit 234 for
his team, George Gearing, Frank
Tobin and DIR Leonard were hit
ting them hard for the Gearing
outfit.
Jack Bennett knocked off q
triple strike in the middle Of the
second game and with. one more
strike at the close of the game was
able to knock out his 151 score.
The other Plumbers were also hit
ting on high and had no trouble
in taking all four points from Har-
pin.
With Mclean, Byrnes and Hy-
land all having one big score IN
separate games, the Ice Cream
team was melted away and went
down still further in the standing.
Phil Coppetto and Frank Keefe
sSwed up the league championship
for the Postal outfit and the boys
now have only to wait for the
banquet, which will be one big
night for them. Phil knocked off
n 1926 while Frank his 1872. which
gave them the first game and also
pinfall. 1t also blasted the hopes
McVerry had of entering prize d.
vision.
The Painters managed to break
into the win column In the final
game when Ralph Tremaglio
knocked off his 121 score, while in
the other two games, the Cahill
men won easily, and also COPIED
pinfall.
John Scully led the Lumbermen
in another OF their big nights hit
ting $50, which enabled them to
pile up a 1884 pinufall and take
three points from Cooke.
The North Enders weren't able
to get going in their usual stride
much to the advantage of DR. Cot
tieros men who were able to cop
all four points.
Fred Miller was the high scorer
for the Chase team this week, hav-
ing a $50 pinfall, which enabled
the team to take three points. A
strike by Bill Sullivan and q spare
by Jack Reilly in the final boxes
kept the Chase outfit from making
a clean sweep, by a scant margin
Of four pins.

Biloxi. Miss, April 8 - A vast
majority of the customers in Bos-
ton and Washington may not agree,
but Buddy Myer says Lyn Larry
is Joe Cronin's superior as a de-
fensive shortstop.
Certainly no one is in a better
position to judge. Cronin and Myer
formed one of baseball's finest Sec
ond base combinations for half
dozen years.
Despite the fact he considers
Larry an excellent fielding partner,
Myer admits that he misses Gro
min and fears the Washington club
will feel the loss of its old man
ayers punch and aggressiveness.
Clark Griffith and Bucky Harris
are counting upon Myer to lash
the Senators into battle as did
Cronin. The Mississippian has been
named captain.
Griffith calls Cronin, the son-in-
law for whom the Old Fox. obtain.
ed $25O,00O and Larry, the great
est manufactured hitter he ever
saw.
Cronin was batting only .245 for
Kansas City when Scout Joe Engel
paid $500 for him in 1928.

Writer'S Don't Miss doc
Last season was Cronin's poorest
since he crashed the big show, and
Washington's baseball writer's as
sert that $35,000O would have been
q fair price for him as player.
They point out that increased
weight will not help his play in the
field, and ask just how his drop

Of field, certain types of ground
balls made linn q quarter or
million dollar shortstop.,
These writer's have an idea that
Washington will not suffer through
Cronins departure to the extent
that Myer and some of the other
hired hands suspect.
Harris, back on the job where
he became famous as the first or
Washington's two boy managers -
extremely popular.
Harris is changed man, too.
Bucky frankly tells you that he
needed and was glad to land his
current post upon being released
after q one-year trial in Boston.
He asserts he is bearing down
on himself for the first time IN
several campaigns. and his work
reflects his enthusiasm. Bucky
realizes IL Is about time he ap-
piled the pressure. Failure probab-
ly means this is his last chance.
Harris was paid $3S.SS3.S3 q
season as Washington's playing
manager under the terms of e.
three-year contract that ran out
in 1927. He was fortunate t0
obtain a $4,000 contract this trip.
The one-time mine boy probably
grew q bit careless after driving
the Senator's to Washington's first
pennant in 1924 and repeating the
following year.

Harris knows plenty of baseball,
and hasn't inherited the worst out
fit in the American league by
long shot. Bucky considers the Sen
ators the most formidable array he
has piloted since he left Washing
ton for Detroit In 1898. He had
great deal to do with building the
Tiger outfit that Mickey Cochrane
put across last season, by the way.

while losing SO for Chattanooga
since 1929. Like Carl Hub
bell and Frank Lamanske, who ls
being gievn the once-over by the
Brooklyn Dodgers, Petit throws a
screw ball. Clark Griffith
predicts Archie Scrivener, o none
too large left-hander who hurled
for George Washington University
a year ago, will be the most ac-
complished pitcher in the Ameri-
can League in two years. The
heart literally was knocked out OK
from Baltimore has been a prob
lem child since he was hit over
the heart by batted ball after

. Cliff Bolton gained his point,
last season. Offered $4,000,
his pay was pro-rated at $4,000
after he reported in July.
There is little irony in Bottoms
case. =. A second or third string
catcher with the Senators since
1880, there was every indication
that he would be the No. man
this season. But up hobs Jim
Holbrook to give him a battle.
ID. Holbrook Is described as the
looking backstop to come out
OF the Southern Association in 10
years.
Bluege Back Mt Short
Ossie Bluege returns to his first
love, shortstopping, and battles
Ign Larry and Red Kress for the
post, after being the American
Leagues outstanding third base
man for IL years. Bluegc
perhaps Is the finest utility infield-
err in the game. Cecil Travis
ran him off third base. There
still Is uneasiness in regard to Joe
Kuhel's ankle, which was broken
last season. The first base
man still favors It. The leg
Johnny stone broke Is as good as
ever. With the playing man
aGer, Joe Cronin, gone. Buddy
Myer has been named captain of
the Senator'S. Heinie Manush
has abnormally short arms for a
player OF his size, which accounts
for his comparatively poor throw
ing. Bump Hadley is the
happiest man In camp. The
reason is his escape from the st
Louis Browns. The work OF
Jack Redmond, up from Birming-
ham, has been impressive, but the
Los Angeles boy catcher probably
will be sent out, due to the fact
Harris intends to carry IL pitchers.
Stewart and Whitehill are
spot pitchers. Stewart re-
quires five days rest. Johnny
Kerr is listed as q coach, although
he declares he still is a major
league infielder. %. Fred Sing
ton, who was an All-America
tackle at Alabama. packs a punch
at the plate, but his outfielding is
doubtful. Sington wears his
highly decorated, All-America jer.
sey in camp.
