TURNER STARTS
BUILDING ARENA
Pushes Boxing Plant Plans
as Legion Loses Fight
for Monday Dates.
BY JOHN B. KELLER.

TOE TURNER today ordered the
builders to proceed with the
remodeling of the structure
- near Fourteenth and w streets
that will be used as an arena for his
boxing and wrestling shows during
the Winter, while the District Depart
ment Of the American Legion was
wondering whether it would be worth
its while to carry on with the ring
and mat businesses.
The Legion lost in its battle for an
alienation with the Turner -Ahearn
promotional concern Of the Monday
night boxing show dates, so popular
with ring followers here. Although the
District Boxing Commission in de-
claring against the division of Monday
night dates said its decision was made
without prejudice to the Legion, un-
der its existing license to stage weekly
bouts" the veterans organization does
not consider favorably the sponsoring
Of boxing and wrestling shows under
the conditions.
Veterans Have no Plans.
IN ITS effort TO get an even break In
the Monday dates the Legion had
the full support of the District De-
partment Of the Veterans of Foreign
Wars, according to Comdr Edward <.
Inman Of the latter organization.
It Is not believed, though, that the
two veterans bodies will combine In
an attempt to compete seriously with
the long established Turner -Ahearn
concern in the promotion of the ring
and mat sports.
The building that Turner will have
converted into an arena is located
back of w street. Its entrance will
be few doors east Of Fourteenth. 1t
Is Q one-story structure. Plans call
for the construction of a spacious
lobby while the arena will be arranged
to seat more than 1000. There will
be two wide aisles between seats
lengthwise of the arena and four
aisles across. The ring will be placed
in the center Of the floor.
No Obstructing Columns.
THERE will be no columns to
obstruct the view of the ring
from any seat. Columns at present
supporting the roof will be removed
and steel trusses across the top Of
the structure substituted. The most
remote seat will be no more than rs
feat from the center Of the ring.
The builders have assured Turner
the remodeling will be completed by
the middle Of November.

~ Grimms conversion of Augie
Galan from an irregular infielder with
the Cubs to a regular toiler In the
outer pastures.
That shift came when the Cubs
were in the doldrums. Shortly after
ward they began to move toward the
top with Galan in a leading role In
the drive that made them contenders
for the flag. 1t didn't take Augie
long to develop into a good outf1elder
and he has been hitting at 800 or
better clip.
Galan proved his worth yesterday
when the Cubs rolled over the Phillies,
to 2, to keep their place two and a
half games behind the league-leading
cardinals and half game back Of
the second-place Giants. Galan drove
in six runs, drawing a walk with the
bases loaded in the fourth and clout-
ing two home runs. His second homer
came with the bases loaded in the
eighth and broke up the ball game.
Cards Rally Beats Braves.
THE Cards maintained their lead BY
staging a four-run rally in the
eighth to beat the cellar-dwelling
Braves to 3. A close game in which
Wally Berger put Boston ahead in the
first half of the eighth with his thir-
tieth homer of the season, suddenly

Estellella's arrival is not likely to

and moving essay on the decline Of

who knows but what it brought tears
to the eyes of many of its readers. too?
The betting is 6 to against.
Anyway, the minstrel is rapidly dis
appearing from the game. There are
no more base ball songs. Once in a
while, when q band can be smuggled
into the grandstand. you hear the
stirring strains of the one and only

But it stops there, with that one
number. The song is good song, OF
course.
1t fits nicely into the catalogue
of old choruses that are sung
strongly and none too pleasantly
in the modern saloon. toward
closing time, by whisky tenors, beer
baritones and erratic leads.
In your correspondents personal

"Wait Till the Sun Shines, Nellie" and

World Series Had Theme Songs.
DUT, I repeat, there is room for more
- base ball songs. There was time
in the history of our national pastime
when no world series was complete
without its special theme tune. The
best known of these-though forgot
ten and very, very dead today-was
"Oh. You Babe Ruth" the hit hosan-
nah of the series Of 1921, with its
lifting refrain:

At the time of the world series oi
1888, your correspondent, feeling the

enough In detail, since OFT, Hubbell
and Schultz were the shining stars
of the series In question.

French Maneuyers Are Early In 1885
 Feeling Is Tense
(By The Associated Press)

NANCY, March 30, - French ar my maneuvers are off to an early start. The change of routine was described as resulting party from the tense situation created by Hitler's announcement that the German con- scription for a crack corps of recruits has been posted and that they would be taken to Eachen fort on the east ern frontier of France for a three training period. This is well in advance of the opening of last years s maneuvers.
 The moving up of the schedule was also laid to the desire of the French general staff to familiarize itself with the reservists quarterly The possible changed conditions is also accompanying the motorization of the regular army.

 Every effort IS being made to inn prove attendance and punctuality which have not been up to stand ard during the present term. The best work can be done at school only when all children are present, and it is important that all are on time.
