BAER READY
FOR TRAINING

NEW YORK, April 30. U.P)-
Cocky as ever but admittedly re-
spectful of James J. Braddock s
right hand, Max Baer will begin
training Tuesday for the first de-
fense of his title in the Long Is
land bowl June 13.
Twenty pounds overweight when
he began training for Primo Car
nera last June-and obviously still
out Of shape the night Of the fight
-Baer is only six pounds over his
fighting weight now
He finished his customary sour
rying about New York today be-
fore departing for Asbury Park, N.
j., where he will train again on
the Hal Simms estate. Plenty Of
shoyeling and woodchopping will
precede sparring to strengthen his
hands.
Baer carries two badly bruised
fists, hurt first against Eddie Simms
in an exhibition at Cleveland and
further battered when he met Babe
Hunt in another six rounder at st.
Louis.
"There are no fractures he
said. "Just bad bruises that will
be Strengthened out in a few days
Of rugged work.

St. Mary's Club
WithdraUs From
Class sB' League

With the "B" league elimination
round concluded seven teams have
qualified and will be ready for ac-
ton when the league opens its sea-
son next Monday night. Teams
qualifying are: the 20-30 club. Elks,
Junior Chamber, High School, Le-
gion, Christian Church and South
ern Sierras.
Followin ga unanimous desire on
the part of the league managers to
limit players on the Glass "B'
teams to El Centro players, the st.
Marys church team has made a
sportsmanlike gesture and an
nounced it's withdrawal from league
competition. The major portion of
the players on this team were out
of-town boys and they did not be-
lieve it fair to gain admittance to
the league by employing outside
players and thereby eliminate a
team which might put a much
stronger lineup in the league pro-
per.
1t was stated TINS morning Dy
league officials that the Legion
Sciots and Christian Church are
the only clubs so far which have
adhered strictly to the use of local
men, all other clubs having drawn
from their organization in other
towns of the valley
The games scheduled for tonight
will be played Notwithstanding St
Mary's withdrawal from the league
but they will not have any official
bearing and will be considered as
practice games. The two games to-
night will bring together the Le-
gion and st. Mary's at 7 O'Clock
and the Junior Chamber and
Christian Church teams at $50 o.
clock, on Wilson school field.

UNION LABOR
WAY BOYCOTT
CARDINALS

ST. LOUIS, April 30 Up) = A
boycott against the world cham
pion st. Louis Cardinals, until Leo
(Lippy) Durocher, shortstop and
captain of the team, is removed
from the lineup, was voted yester-
day by the Central Trades and La
Dor Union.
Officials of the union council
said the action was based on in
reference by Durocher in strike
of Union Garment workers. His
wife is dress designer at a plant
where the strike is in progress.
Whether the boycott actually will
be placed in eject against hte Car
dinals was problematic. The team
was in Cincinnati today to open
a long road trip through the east
and will not return to Sportsman's
park, its home grounds, for nearly
a month.
The union council asserted Dur
ocher made anti-union statements
and appeared in city court as a
witness against a woman striker
who attempted to board his auto
mobile as he drove it through pick
ct lines at the garment factory.
Delegates attending the union
council meeting were reluctant in
voting unanimously to boycott the
entire Cardinal team. Many of
them who roundly criticized Lippy
Leo for his attitude in the strike
mellowed when consideration of the
entire roster was placed in their
hands.
This action is unfortunate" said
Branch Hickey, vice president and
general manager of the baseball
club. "I do not believe Durocher
bears animosity toward any Or
ganization. 1t may be that Leo
made untoward statements when
he felt his wife had suffered some
affront"

FRALEY-[OPEz
SIGNED Up To
BATTLE AGAIN

For the main bout on next Fri
day nights wrestling card at the
City Limits Arena, John A. Contos,
the local promoter who made good
in big way on his first attempt
to make the Imperial Valley wrest-
ling conscious, has announced that
he has rematched Vincent Lopez,
the Mexican wonder with Pat Fra
ley of the Irish Free State and
more recently of Boston.
These two stole the show from
Man Mountain Dean last Friday
night. The fans were treated to
more action and thrills during
their As minute encounter than
anyone would think could possibly
be packed in such a short space of
time AS an exhibition of scientific
wrestling combined with modern
catch-aS- S-catch-can methods, it
would be hard to beat.
incidentally, what makes this
coming encounter between these
two men-in a two out of three
fall match, two hour limit-mosJ
interesting, is the fact that each of
them hold victories over Man
Mountain Dean.
Contos also announced he is ar
ranging for an all star supporting
card. He intends to maintain the
high caliber of bouts as he proved
in his first Show here.
Efforts will be made this week to
work out the seating arrangements
at the arena in such manner as
to prove satisfactory to the fans.
The Promoter regrets that some of
his patrons may have been incon-
venienced last week, but promises
to remedy the causes this week.

hopeful that 1t will come up before the board and be decided on fav- orably.
 The proposal calls for a change in the present schedule, which shifts policeman at 4 a. Tn., 12 noon and D. m, to one which would bring shifts at midnight, a. m. and 4 D. m. The schedule, as proposed. might be amended to have all shifts either an hour ear- Her or an hour later.
 Revolving Shift
 An even more drastic move; one calling for a revolving shift all year round, has been mentioned at headquarters during the past week. but apparently has little hope of even reaching the board for con- sideration. As it stands now. men remain in the same platoon all men automatically go on night du- enough years have passed to bring about vacancies in either of the day beats. The revolving shift would have the men in the department work mornings for lHTGc H1OHLuS, dlLcihOOh lOA tHACS more and nights for another three.
 Change Unfair
 Veterans opposing both propos- als claim that they had to wait for long stretches of years before they won the coveted day assignments and that it would be unfair now to either change the shifting hours or to put a revolving shift into ef- feet. They argue that the young CT members of the department must wait turns just as they did. The com bined influence of men on morning and afternoon beats will most probably be strong enough to defeat both attempts at schedule changes.
 Those who began the move for the new shifts, however, still ex- pect that the matter will come be- fore the police board at an early session. Some years ago, Com missioner William Dunphy at- tempted to put through change of schedule for the police de- partment. but his motion was lost in committee and has not been heard of since.

With the announcement of Miss

With the announcemen of Miss Eleanor H. Little that the rural rehabilitation program, which calls for extensive building work, would be handled exclusively through re- lief agencies, in order to keep down production costs," local con- tractors and builders are expected to carry the fight against the project directly to state headquar- ters of the EZRA.
 An appropriation of $100,000 has been made, according to an announcement by Governor Wilbur L. Cross, and the initial project in the state will be carried out in the Naugatuck valley. One of the tcn- tative locations is in the town of Middlebury, and present indfca- tions are that this site will eventu- ally be selected.
 In the event that the Middle bury location is approved by the state, Waterbury contractors who would under normal circumstances benefit by building program in this vicinity will make every pos- sible effort to check the states proposal that relief agencies ham dle the work. Two of the strong est contracting associations in the city have gone on record as being irrevocably opposed to the hand ling of construction projects by any relief agency.

Foreclosure suits against .bor- rowers who have not kept up pay ments although financially able to do so will be brough by the Home Owners Loan Corporation, acc cording to reports from national headquarters at Washington. It is expected that the. drive against de- linquents of this type will begin In the New York area, which includes both Connecticut and New Jersey.

 Suits will be instituted after careful investigation reveals that delinquents are able to pay either in full or in part. The new policy
