The farmers and buyers Of pota-
toes IN Sussex county, seem to be
somewhat a. sea because Of the
Warren Potato Act which became a
law some time ago.
The problem that seems TO be
bOthering our farmers. relates TO
the potatoes they now have on hand
and those for sale, which were har-
vested this year.
County Agricultural Agent c. R.
Snyder states that these potatoes
are not affected BY this law. All po-
tatoes harvested this year can be
sold as usual; that ls without a

melted the jealousy of brother

DROPS CAM:
To bRAWLEY

Central's Spartan appletossers
took a nose dive into the cellar
Saturday by virtue of 1873 defeat
handed to them by Brawley when
the north end school met the local
nine here.
Brawley chalked up seven runs in
the first three innings, all made
chiefly through errors and bad
playing on the part of the SpartanS.
After the third inning, Central be-
gan to show more steam, but not
enough, making very pale show
ing against the much superior brand
of ball put forth by the northend-
ers.
Leon, the Brawley pitcher. stayed
in for the entire game, having nine
strike-outs to his credit, allowing
Central only four hits.
Miller, Jones and Lambeth
brought in runs for the local team.
Brawley got eight hits and suf-
fered two strike-outs at the hands
OF Bill Jones, who pitched for Cen

NEW YORK, March 25-The
New York boxing commission, long
may she WaVer!
She is New York City's one en-
during landmark, the one item re-
turning natives may be sure OF
finding the same. One may go to
Egypt for a year of camel racing,
TO Labrador for a season of muSh-
ing, or to Florida for a few months
of = well, nearly everything - but
when one returns, good old boxing
commission, she'll be the same.
One may return tc find the En-
pire state devoured by termites, La
Guardia with a haircut, policemen
polite, but the same old boxing COM
mission will be sitting there
She will be stupid, dense and
muddling as ever. She still will be
getting in eyerybody's hair, every
body's way. The august chairman
still will be trumpeting a mile a
minute on subjects he knows moth
ing about. So will the august sec
ond chairman, the august third
chairman. In short, good old boxing
commission still will be utsy-nutsy
doubled and redoubled in spades,
and very, very vulnerable.
When we left for Florida 10 weeks
ago, the boxing commission, with
General John j. (NuiSance) Phelan
leading the vocal assault, was rant
ing and raving that the only two
respectable contenders for Max
Baer's heavyweight title were Steve
Hamas and Art Lasky, and anyone
who wanted to fight Baer had first
to lick Steve and Art. ~
This little matter wa staken care
of. Over in Hamburg, rejuvenated
Max Schmeling almost knocked off
the top of Hamas noggin. Here, in
Madison Square garden, Jim Brad
dock hit Lasky with everything but

ters more complicated for the COM

BRAVES To De
MOST TALKED
Of BALL CLUB
BY STUART CAMERON
United Press Sports Editor

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla, March
25.-Until the National league pen
nant race has unsnarled its early
kinks and maybe for some time af-
ter that the Boston Braves will be
the most talked-of club in the cir
cult.
On the minus side the team is vir-
tually the same one as finished
fourth in 1884. On the plus side
there are two of the most interest
ing characters in the game today.
No. 2 of this selected duo is the
amazing Rabbit Maranville, who ad-
mits to having been born in '91.
The Rabbit was out all last year,
because of training camp leg frac-
ture. He insists he'll play this year,
but the chances are that Maran-
vile will coach all season and will
get into game only now and then.
George Herman Ruth is to play
the outfield, if at all.
Babe Ruth hasn't looked so well
in spring practice. He appears a
tired old man. He still takes a tre-
mendous cut at the ball. He'll get
a large number OF homers. But the
Babe of 1885 simply isn't the man
he was even three years ago. He
makes a gesture toward dog-trotting
TO the dugout after grounding out.
He looks as though the gait panied
him.
Boston has ont rookie of whom
much is expected. He is Joe Co.'S
carart, Californian, who played
with Seattle last year He's the most
promising infield rockies the Braves
have had in recent years. He seems
due for a utility role. Whitney is
down for third base. Bill Urbanski
seems definite at short. Leslie NAL
Ion will play second when Maran-
vile isn't there. Buck Jordan is at
| first.
The outfield is set with Berger
at center, Lee at left and Moore at
right.
Boston's pitching staff is strong
and is headed by Ed Brandt, Huck
Belts, Ben Cantwell and Fred
Farmhouse. The catching staff is
paced by Shanty Hogan and Bill
Lewis, who was drafted from Ro-
chester
Manager Bill McKechnie thinks

hadn't beaten anything but an over
grown, awkward boy from upstate
They discarded Braddock because II
he could hit Lasky million punch
es without knocking him down, what
chance would he have against Bac>
who starts getting tough where Las
ky leaves off.
This left only Schmeling, which
was correct, for Max is the only
fighter in the business today, with
the possible exception of Joe Louis,
who can bother Max. Schmeling
throws a terrific right hand, he
can box, and he's game. The COM
mission, supposedly composed of fis-
tic experts, should have been able
to figure this out. But no, 1T places
Braddock and Camera on the same
footing with Schmeling, and prob
ably will issue another form letter
calling for another one of those
elimination contests.
Braddock, an aged, overgrown
light heavy, wouldn't last two rounds
with Baer. Camera, an overgrown
oaf, might hang around a little
longer than that, but who'd pay to
see it? Schmeling, in form, would
have a chance to win. The two
Makes would draw upwards of a
million at the gate.
That is, if the commission, the
dear, old, dumb commits ssion,
wouldn't block and re-block their
path until everybody got sick and
tired of the whole business and de-
Cided to go see Shirley Temple in
stead.
