New Auditorium Brings Luck to
the Girls

Monday, March IL, Smyrna's
boys and girls played their first
basket ball game in Smyrna's new
auditorium. There was a large
crowd, some of whom were. of
course, curiosity seekers, while
Others had genuine basket ball in
terests.
Our referee was Mr.. Michael
Csaesar Rodney's coach. The game
started at 7.30 between Smyrna
and Middletown girls. The first
half OF the game dragged, but the
aast half was quite exciting, both
to the players and to the specta-
.ofs. Aaddletown's captain called

After the girls game Smyrna
boys played Chestertown boys.
During the first half of the boys

one point. The score was 21-22 in
Chestertown's favor.

the tercentenary of fifty acres Of

SPATANS WIN
PRACTICE TILT.
inexperienced Arab Nine No
Match For Central High Ball
Tossers

An inexperienced junior college
outfit went up against an improved
Spartan nine TO be downed l2-l in
a practice tilt held at the high
school yesterday afternoon
Aside from a home run scored by
Van Nostrand in the third inning,
the Arab team did nothing to write
home about. A total of seven hits
brought only the one score.
The high school, on the other
hand, went places in a big way,
showing a more aggressive spirit
than they have in other games TO
date. IL was good practice for both
teams, Coach w. S. Taylor said to-
day, and the boys intend TO do
repeat on Thursday. with the high
school starting some of its second
string members.
For the Spartans, Bill Jones
pitched the first inning, scoring one
strikeout and allowing no hits.
Scroggins went in then and stayed
for five innings. allowing five hits
and the Arabs lone tally. Payne
was substituted for Scroggins for
the last innings, and let the Jay
Gees have two hits.
Arab pitchers did not perform as
well. The high school got five hits
off Walker in six innings, and three |
hits off Kinne, who pitched the
OF the game. The contest |
ran only TO seven innings.
In a practice game scheduled for |
today. that portion of the squad |
which does not go to Yuma to see
the exhibition game between the Pi-
rates and the White Sox will face
the third period gym class.

Ancil Hoffman, manager Of Heavy

lect James J. Braddock as Baer's op-

Whats the idea of dragging him

formed the New York state ath-
letic commission had named the
Jersey City longshoreman the local
No. challenger for the title after
his victory over Art Lasky.
"They might as well try TO resur-
rect King Levinsky or Pe~S.ao ~
cudun. Braddock's victory over Las
Ky meant nothing. 7 saw bum beat
Lasky.
"It looks as though they'll drive
the fight out of New York. If they
don't name a logical contender by

wen fight anybody we want to-"
Both Baer and Hoffman are said
TO be considering Max Schmeling,
German former champion, as the
best choice for a June bout.
They are anxiously awaiting the
outcome of the Primo Camera Joe
Louis bout with the feeling that if
the young Detroit Negro wins, a
bout between him and Baer would
"draw a million"

WASHINGTON. March 81. UP)-
Washingtons japanese cherry blos-
SONS are going TO do their famous
annual act this year without bene-
fit OF ballyhoo.
Last year Washington staged its
First Annual Cherry Blossom Fes-
tlval." 1t appears that the first fes-
tival was also the last.
When the blossoms come into full
glory next week-and such is the
forecast If the weather doesn't go
awry-there will be no cherry festi-
val queen TO greet them, no parade,
no beating of drums, no pageant.
Last year a whole week of festi-
vities marked the blooming of the
cherry trees. Visitors by the thous-
ands were attracted to Washington.
Elimination of the festival, however,
is not expected 10 cut the tourist
crowds materially. Folks have al
ways come in great numbers to see
the japanese blossoms.
The reason the annual" festival
won't be repeated is that in spite
of all the whoopdedoo. last years
left a big deficit.
Nobody offered to make it up this
year so the event was quietly cam
celled.
Mrs. Franklin d. Roosevelt and
several washington neWSDa DerWO-
men put on typical press confer
ence over the air this week. The
director took a good deal OF time,

ing with the lightning speed OF s
Maryland terrapin. the New York
boxing commission, in a brief, hur-
ried session OF five hours. yesterday
drove straight as boomerang to the
heart Of the heavyweight boxing
situation.
At the finish of the conference
the tangled skeins of the boxing
business We're as neatly arranged as
plate Of spaghetti All the de-
tails, all the angles, were laid out
in a manner that maze them clear
as a Jug OF blacksrap molasses.
Working hand in hand, the COM
missioners completed a magnificent
task of good. analytical muddling.
Let me. without further ado, list
the results OF The meeting in their
proper disorder:
%. Primo Carnera, because of his
refusal 10 meet Jimmy Braddock, is
definitely through as a challenger
for the title. and nothing he may
do will cause the commission to re-
consider his case.
3. Primo Carnera, by agreeing TO
meet Jimmy Braddock, can keep in
the running as a challenger.
7l5. Primo Camera is definitely
finished as q challenger until he
whips Joe Louis in their bout here
in June.
IL. Joe Louis definitely is not
challenger, and whipping him
means nothing.
Is. Joe Louis definitely is a threat
and the color line will not be draw11
in this state.
IL. Jimmy Braddock definitely is
the No. challenger IN this state
because Of his victory over Art Las
ky.
90. Jimmy Braddock definitely is
the No. challenger unless Max
agrees to fight in this
Other Business
While they did not officially an
nounce it. I learned from highly
source that the
also agreed stitch
in time is worth two in the bush,
Dewey did earn the decision at Ma
Mia, and that sugar, insofar as they
were concerned, does help corn
bread.
When the massive doors TO the
executive chambers finally were
opened 10 the reporters, everything
was in orderly confusion. Managers,
fighters, writer's, messenger boys
and stenographers were tearing
about in disciplined disorder.
Yelled Jimmy Johnston of Madi-
son Square garden to Chairman
John J. Phelan:
You're gonna chase Schmeling
and Baer out this state!"
There's Al more states, amt
there?" yelled back Phelan.
Try and name EN-, General"
scoffed a reporter.
If you don't like this state" bel
lowed Commissioner Bill Brown,
give the fight TO Hitler. Give it TO
Hitler, Johnston, and throw in Joe
Jacobs for good measure"
Nuts, ansyered Johnston, as ne
adjusted his bowler and made for
the door.
And nuts TO You, PAL" answered
Chairman Phelan.
And so, on this high note. the
boxing commission, having done its
duty, called il a day.
