CUBS-PIRATES
STAGE BRAWL

United Press staff Correspondent

CHICAGO. April 30. -- An old
time baseball feud salouldered II
Nrgley field today as the Chicago
Cubs and Pittsburgh Pirates pre-
pared for the second game of the
season between the two clubs.
The Cubs. embroiled in two fist
fights in four days. hoped to face
Guy Bush. one of their teammates
until he was traded to the Pirates
last November. but were doomed
to disappointment.
Manager Pie Traynor of Pitts
burgh announced late last night
Ralph Birkover would pitch instead
of his original choice, Bush.
Il can afford to send Bush in
against the Cubs. - said Traynor
It might cause serious trouble.
Bush was involved in the most
serious Of Yesterday S battles which
came near developing into a free
for-au between all the players.
The fighting started between
Cookie Layagetto. Pirate second
baseman, and Billy Jurges, Cubs
shortStOp, on a close play at sec
ond. JurgeS stepped on the Pitts
burgh player 5 loot and Lavagetto
hit the Chicago player in the back.
Jurges swung both fists at Lavaget-
TO as he ducked under Umpire
Nagerkurth. Players of both clubs
rushed onto the field
Bush came out looking for a
fight and encountered Roy Joiner,
Cub pitcher. They tangled and
fought from second base to the foul
line near the Cubs dugout. Four
players finally pinned Bush 10 the
ground.
Players said Bush in the excite
ment was trying to hit Grimm.
This was partially verified by the
fact that Bush later said he was
sorry he hit Joiner.
Bush wouldn t say who he was
trying to hit but players said they
heard Bush hurl several epithets
at Grimm.

Hell stick MIN silly with left

Baer's wins have been against guys
who were afraid of him. This Brad
dock isn't afraid Of anything that
walks on two legs. Further

pace. You've seen him fight enough
to know he likes to fight about
minute a round and clown the rest.
This Braddock won't let him do
that. He's gonna have to fight
three for three
Not Betting
Would MI. Johnston care to bet
a few potatoes on BradOdck?
I am not a betting man. Be-
sides. I wouldn't Ike to take your
money. Now as for those other
guys fights. uh-uh-uh, what are
they? Oh, yes. 7 remember. Joe
Louis with Camera and Barney
Ross with McLarnin. TIN be Car
nera and NTcLarnin. That Louis
has but one chance-he must nail
Camera for keeps inside three or
four rounds. If he doesn't, Bootsie
will give him the works. And I
don't think Louis can nail him.
Louis is going to be an aWfully sur
prised number when he tangles

that's enough for me-
On June 26, dear customers, when
the last of these four fights Will
have been decided. I want you to
check up and see who is the best
picker-Mr. James Joy Jackanapes
or your devoted correspondent. I
don't agree with J. J. J. on single
one of the scraps. I like Ambers
by a technical Kayo; Baer by just
an old fashioned knockout; Ross
by d comfortable decision, and
Louis by a knockout. I am general

selector, whereas Johnston who has
been in the fight business ever

NEW RECORD

UNION AIR TERMINAL. Bur-
bank. Calf. April 30. UP)-A large,
sleek. Douglas airiner. described as
a flying laboratory" was headed
for New York today in an attempt
to set a new transcontinental non-
stop record for transport planes.
The ship took off at asa a. m.
(PST) with D. w. Tomlinson Of
Transcontinental ard Western Air
as its pilot.
TWA officials made no an
nouncement of the flight and the
take-off was a surprise to airport
attendants. First indication of the
proposed hop was given shortly af-
ter dawn when mechanics wheeled
the huge plane out of its hangar
and poured l4O0 gallons of gasoline
into it.
The takeoff was surrounded with
mystery. Mechanics and others at
the airport declined TO comment on
the flight, but shortly before the
takeoff Joe NilTent, official timer
for the National Aeronautical asso-
citation, appeared, indicating that
the plane would attempt to set a
nonstop record.
Officials of the company later
announced that Tomlinson would
attempt to shatter existing non
stop records for transport planes.
Tomlinson was accompanied by
Harold Snead as co-pilot and Pc
ter Redfath as navigator. There
were no other passengers aboard
the ship.
The air liner made q perfect
takeoff and shot into the east
without difficulty. Whether bureau
officials said reports indicated fly
ing conditions were perfect over
most of the route to be covered by
the plane.
Airport attendants said Tom
linson intended to guide the plane
over the regularly travelled SOU
thern airmail route into New York.

COURT TO HEAR
ARGUMENT ON
TAXI RATES
Appeal From Decision
of P. u. c. Is Before
Justice Wheat

Chief Justice Alfred A. Wheat,
in District Supreme Court, today
is scheduled to hear arguments on
what is probably the last appeal
from a Public Utilities Commission
ruling involving taxicab rates.
An act Of Congress in the last
session provided that appeals, un.
less they involve matters of law,
cannot be taken to the District Su-
preme Court from the commission.
The present case was filed two
days before the act was signed.
Bernard L. Henning, president
of the Cab Drivers Protective
Union, is plaintiff in the case,
which claims that the prevailing
20, 30, So, and 70-cent taxicab
zone rate prescribed by the COM
mission last summer is unlawful
and unreasonable.
Henning has lost his taxicab
drivers license because of his
refusal to abide by the prescribed
schedule and his insistence upon
his right to charge higher tariff.
The commission order is not
based on a fair rate of earnings
for taxicab operators, Henrling
says through Attorney Carey
Quinn, but is based on purely
arbitrary findings. He further
claims that a ruling of Justice
Jesse C. Atkins two years ago.
