'BAER CLOWNS IN SOUTHERN RING;
 BUDDY SCORESK K.O.
Cancella Hit Champ With Cream-Puff' Punches;
 Miami Bout Next

Tampa, Fla, Jan. 22-(UP)- Max Baer moved on toward Miami today, continuing his exhibition tour which took him into the ring here last night against Tony Cam celia, Tampa heavyweight. in a four-rounder that was a laugh, but scarcely a fight.
 The champion toyed with Can. celia. never opened up at any time, and in a half hour after the bout was the chief attraction at q Lions Club benefit.
 More than 10000 saw Cancella hit Baer repeatedly. but apparent ly without enough power to raouse Baer's ire.
 Buddy Baer, Max's 236-pound brother, who was also on the card, didn't clown and didn't waste any time. He started firing from the hip before the opening gong echo had died and 75 seconds la- ter Montet Hogan of Salem, Mass, was chilled.
 Although Maxie has changed his mind again and in latest reports has decided not to marry. the City of Tampa has offered him free hospitalization for his first born as a gift.

Mir Mohawk spent most q the time under the water at last nights preview, coming up, 1t seemed to me, at alarmingly few intervals. In the clear waters of the pool, he completed figure 8's struck statuetesque poses, looped-the-loop, and a hundred and one other feats, all with the grace of trout in a sparkling mountain stream.
 Moves Only Hands
 Moving only his hands, with his feet held rigidly together, the hu- man seal lived up to his name. With the pool lights on, he could easily be seen cieaving through the water with the speed an grace of a fish. He stayed under so long at times that his small but appre- ciative audience about the edge of the pool wondered if the aged man might not have gills.
 Veteran Swimmer
 For more than 30 years Mohawk has delighted audiences with his submarine cavortings. He has worked under glass; s-bottomed boats in tropical waters and at the navy yards in Bermerton, Washington, and only two years ago stayed at the bottom of Pugea sound (28 fet) for four minutes and 2S 
 Mohawk alleges he learned his underwater swimming from ob- serving fish. By moving only his hands he adds grace to his exhibi- tions. He does not use anything m his ears or nose and needs noth- ing to keep him on the bottom of the pool. When he submerges he goes down head-first with his legs held above him pushing him down.
 Floats Any Way
 Those who take pride in their ability to float should see this hu- man fish at the tomorrow night. He can float almost any conceiv- able way. He swims feet first as rapidly as most swimmers make it the other way, propelling him. self with a fapper stroke of his hands that he acquired from watching fish.
 Public Invited
 Mohawk will demonstrate his complete and varied bag of tricks at the Y natorium tomorrow night. night and PhsicaI Director Charles Leader, who arranged the exhibit tion, extends a cordial invitation to the public of Waterbury to sec this marvel display his wares. He can best be seen in hns underwater from within the en- closure

MONEY NEEDED TO BUILD 800 NE W
 ENCLOSED FIELDS
Carr Believes President Roosevelt Would Ap-
 prove Request
BY RALPH TEATsORTH United Press stan Correspondent)

(Unifed Press Stan COrFespOn0enC1
 Columbus, O., Jan 22-(UP)- Organized baseball will ask for share of the s4,O0O,oOO,OO0 con- gress is expected to appropriate for public works and other projects, Under a tentative plan announced today by Joe F. Carr, promotional director of professional baseball, club owners and officers will ask for money to build 500 nel en- closed baseball parks. Specific projects will be named after con- ferences between baseball men and members of congress.
 Expensive -
 The exact amount needed to finance the vast program of build ing new parks could not be deter mined by Carr. However, estimat- ing the park. to cost between $1O.- 900 and $50,000 each, at least $10,000,000 probably would be re- quired.
 In most instances the parks would be self-liquidating projects. Carr said. In addition to their use for professional baseball, they would be the center of community 1EOA No eSAAu OhtCA &AO Hb0N gram would include ever. state.
 Under the plan, small cities without adequate baseball facilities would get new parks, thus encour- aging both public recreational work and the creation of new organized baseball leagues.
 In larger cities which already have baseball facilities, parks would be improved or replaced.
 Rig Help
 "The building of 500 baseball parks . throughout the country would put innumerable men to work and make possible the install lation of professional clubs in most of the cities which, in turn, would give work to thousands of boys who are anxious to take up the game as profession" Carr said.
 we feel certain this program is sound economically anG will re- ceive President Roosevelt's ap- proval."
 Baseball's growth since the de- pression is reflected in tn, organ ization of seven new minor leagues during the last two years, Carr said. Five other new leagues may be operating in the 1895 season, he said.

Bowling This Year Will Get Under Way Next
 Month at WillinlantiC

When Frank Barber, Bob White and Harmon Genlot went into a huddle in Waterbury back in 1881 and conceived the Eastern Sweep stakes they had little idea at the time of the importance of the project they had in mind. It is now the second ranking individual-eom- petition in the country and every bowler of note from Boston to At lanta has taken part at some time or the other.
 This years competition, the fifth of it's kind, will again take place at the Lucky Strike alleys in Will limantic on Saturday, Feb. 18th and it is anticipated that about 50 of the leading bowlers of the Uni ted States will take part. Already 20 bowlers from the southern states have signified their intention of competing and there should be maining 30 from the ranks of the little difficulty in recruiting the re- Connecticut pinsters. In the four years of play only one southern bowler has annexed the title. the veteran Bradley Mandley of Wash ington defeating field of 62 In Waterbury in 1881. The winners and score to date are as follows:
 1931-Bradlye Mandley, Wash ington-1938.
 1932-Babe Dugas, Taftville- 1907.

 19s4-Nick Tronsky, williman- tic-1946.
