played 81 game from the Cards yes

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.-Beaten
twice by the Boston Braves-and
Babe Ruth-New York Yankee re-
Inducements were called out by
Manager Joe Mccarthy for today'S
game with the National Leaguers,

Lefty Vernon Gomez, leading
American League pitcher last sea-
son; Bill Dickey, ace of Yankee
catchers, and Tony Lazzeri, veteran
infielder, were in the lineup.
ST. PETERSBURG, F1a.-The pow
er of the Boston Braves batting at
tack is not confined to the regulars,
but goes down through the rockies
as we'll.
Using substitutes most of the
game, the Braves beat the bearded
House of David nine yesterday, II
to 6. Three home runs in the first
mining contributed to the victory.

been completed for staging the
Ross-Ambers bout June 5 at the

Jackie Sharkey'S Fight
Manager Knitted During
Argument Over Decision

By United Press
CHICAGO, March 19.-Jackie
Sharkey of Minneapolis and Orville
Drouillard of Windsor, Ontario,
fought a draw in a junior light
weight bout at Marigold Gardens
arena last night, and then their
managers did likewise.
George AIDES, the Canadians
manager, might claim a decision be-
cause Hugh Cartin, young Sharkey's
mentor, got a knife wound in the
fray while AIDES was unmarked.
AIDES still has to appear in court,
however, to answer a charge of
assault.
Chairman Joe Triner of the state
boxing commission joined police and
spectators in separating the two
managers.
Witnesses said the fight started
when AIDES implied in uncensored
ringside remarks that his fighter
had been robbed" of a decision.

687 Gains Top HOnOrs
as A. B. c. Tension Grips City Pinmen

Il may have been the nervous
tension that precedes any cham
pionship battle that held down the
league scoring Of last night. and, with
many teams poised for their takeoff
in search Of national honors at the
ABC at Syracuse, that is Just as
good an excuse as any for the
scarcity Of huge totals.
Jess Pritchett ST.. blasted away
for a 687 count in the Optimist
League at Pritchett's. and this
proved to be the best three-game
series Of the evening. But. Of course,
no one expects a veteran of 25
ABC's TO show any signs Of nervous
ness, so Pritchett had big edge on
many Of the other boys. His series
came from games of 255, 2l0 and
222. Only one other 900 was posted
in this loop, Mundt cashing in with
a 500. Pritchett's team No. l used
his top count to gain the only
three-time victory Of the session,
the No SIS being the shutout vic
TINS. Teams No. ? and won twice
over teams No. 4 and 3.
Down at the Fountain Square,
Joe Danna emerged from his re-
cent slump and pounded out games
of 30. 223 and 231 TO total 664 in
the South Side Business Mems
League. His total was good for in
dividUal runnerup honors Of the
evenings league sessions. Six other
totals passed the 500 mark during
the evening. Bob Wuensch having a
625, Phil Bisesi a 622, Bob Wilmoth
a Ga. Bill Arnold Glib, Nan Schott
604 and Ed Stevenson COL.
The Bake & Vans DIX Service
led by Danna and Bisesi scored the
best three game count of the ses-
sion, getting 1886 from GIT, 1905 and
1914. They won twice over the OPP
posing Stahlhut jewelers.. Other
contests were also decided via the
to l route, Heidenreich Florists,
Brenns Five and Polar Ice g. Fuels
emerging victorious over the Voight
Mortuary. Bemis Bags and Koch
Furnitures.
In the Evangelical League at the
Pritchett Alleys, three 600 totals
were posted during its session of
last night. A 636 from Al Menges
topped the trio. Paul Striebeck had
a 627 and Paul Taylor Jr. a COZ.
The Senators jumped all over the
Dodgers. trouncing them three
times. The Pirates breezed through
with a two-time win over the Ath-
