The McAdoo "alti-repudiatioh
amendment to the gold clause bill, un-
der which citizens would be permitted
To sue the Government for limited
period for devaluation losses. Is satis-
factory to the Justice Department.
Attorney General Cummings an
nounced today. j,
ut is not what the President and
the Department Of Justice originally
proposed" Cummings told reporters
who questioned him at a press con-
ference, but 1t may be regarded as q
fair compromise"
The amendment, submitted by Sen
ator McAdoo. Democrat. Of California,
and included in the bill reported to
the Senate yesterday, would give liti-
giants six months in which to contest
in the courts the administrations dol
lar devaluation policy.
Sees Ban Simply Delayed.
"This simply delays the ban OF gold
suitS for six months" Cummings ex-
planned.
The Attorney General declared he
does not anticipate any rush OF busl-
ness" in gold clause suits II the
amendment becomes law. He expressed
the opinion 1t would be folly for CIT
liens ito waste time and money" In
filing such suits. although. he added
with a smile, it would be good adver-
Using of q sort"
He commented. moreover, that SUI
ing the Government and collecting
are two different things" He said
he did not think the Supreme Court
decision in the gold cases lent en-
couragement to persons wishing to
sue.

Barely had the bill reached the
Senate when Senator Robinson. the
Democratic leader, indicated to news

Nippon Team To
Play ABC Nine
Here TOMORROW

AS a "warm-up" for the game
with the Toxic Giants next We'd
nesday, the ABC team will tackle
the Nippon team of Los Angeles on
the east side diamond tomorrow
afternoon, at 2:30, according to
Manager Lloyd Stark.
The Nippons. last Seam of jap
anese players, have won eight
straight games and played here
last year, defeating the locals 6 to
in 10 innings.
The locals will be strengthened
by the addition of Johnny (Junk)
Walters, former Coast league play
er, and Johnny Hill, veteran pitch
er who had record of 81 straight
wins last summer.
Wednesdays game with the To-
kio Giants is arousing much inter-
est according to Stark, the Japan
ese players having given the coast
and major league teams tough op-
position during the training season
and the ABC gang realizes it will
have to play top-notch ball to de-
feat the invaders.

CHEVA[|ER To
STAR HERE IN
FAMOUS FILM

The most famous of the world s
musical extravaganzas is brought to
the screen for the first time in
Daryl F.. zanuck's production of
Folies Bergere, starring Maur-
ice Chevalier and coming to the
United Artists theatre for two days
starting tomorrow.
More than $1,00O,000 was spent
in creating the sensational effects
for this Goth Century kaleidoscope
of musical thrills, in which the
singing star plays his first dual role.
Chevalier is seen not only as Char
lier, charming, singing, straw-hat-
ted star of the Folies Bergere, but
as the amorous, be-mustached, be-
monocled French Baron VIII m
Charlier impersonates in his act, as
we'll.
The scenes of the original FolieS
Bergere, SO familiar to visitors to
gay Paree-the auditorium of the
famous music hall, the Folies bar
and all the rest of the colorful set
tingS, have been reproduced in this
magnificent screen adaptation.
Merle Oberon makes her Holly
wood debut as the seductively BEAU
tiful wife of the baron, while Ann
Sothern is cast as Mimi the jeal-
GUS partner and sweetheart of
Charlier.
Several sensational dance num-
bers, featuring q hundred beautiful
dancing girls, were staged by Dave
Gould, noted for the Carioca num-
ber in "Flying Down to Rion and
the Continental number in "The
Gay Divorce.
Chevalisr sings five songs espe-
cially written by Jack Stern and
Jack Meskill and the team of Lane
and Adamson who wrote "Stormy
Weather. - He also sings a chorus
of Valentino, with which he
first broke into fame in the original
Folies Bergere as well as on Broad
way.
Roy De Ruth directed "Follie
Bergere" for release through Unit
ed Artists.

their way to wins over Coachella

They were defeated in their second
tourney with Brawley.

Playing in the worst tennis wea-
ther of the season with sharp
wind whipping across the courts,
Central Union high school netsters
yesterday proved their supremacy
for the second time in the finals of
the Imperial Valley tennis tourna-
ment and were awarded the con-
ference trophy.
A nip and tuck battle all the
way, good many of the matches
were long hard-fought affrays,
running to three SETS Central took
three matches, both of the boys
singles and the mixed doubles;
Holtville took the two girls singles
and Brawley was the winner in
both the boys and girls doubles.
One of the most exciting match
es of the day was the boys first
singles in which Sanford Sato, the
unorthodox but excellent Central
player, beat Brown of Holtville, 6-3,
3-6, Us.
In the boys second singles,
Moore of Central defeated Consual

BAER SNUbbED
BY BRADDOCK

NEW YORK, April 6. WR)--A
half-dozen conferences with Madi-
son Square garden officials brought
Max Baer no nearer a defense OF
his heavyweight title today and
failed to change his mind about
James j. Braddock's lack Of class,
but the champion no longer is ex-
pressing himself out loud.
Braddock would prefer to do his
punching in the ring for money,
but might be induced to do it in
an alley free of charge. He came
near turning his right hand into a
greeting card for the champion
upon his arrival here yesterday.
Baer was just getting warmed up
before an audience on his class and
Braddock's lack of it, when the
forgotten man who gave Art Lasky
a beating, appeared.
Braddock walked up slowly and
looked at Baer, who stopped a glass
of beer over in arising and extend
ing his hand
How you, Jimmy?" he said.
IT don't know yer" the New Jer-
sey stevedore answered from cor
ner of his mouth and kept his
hands in his pockets.
Baer laughed off Braddock's OBJ
vious anger, and today went into
more conferences trying to find a
way to make the match with Max
Schmeling, who, Baer believes,
would help draw million dollar
gate.

LOS ANGELES, April 6. Up) -
Southern California racing promo

And you know, we never did fig
ure out what makes Brother Baer
think he's such a world-beater.
And Lawdy knows, we did some
tall figuring. We started figuring
right back from the day he stopped
knocking steers in the head for
slaughter house and picked up
pair of six ounce golves.
To hear Brother Baer tell it
and you can't miss hearing him If
you drop in any of the mobbier
restaurants. bars, hot spots or bar
Der joints-he's the most destruct-
i've force since Ching Lee (or one
of his brothers) thought up gum
powder. Surround him with enough
gaping citizens and he'll tell you
how Carnera is a four-ply chump
and COOP c'My kid brother Buddy
could cold-cock him in four
rounds') how Schmeling is thick
headed Dutchman with a faint
heart; how Joe Louis is an am
ateurish youngster who's got pub
lenty to learn, and how Braddock
is sucker, a chump, and a round
heeled guy ready for push-over.
Then he starts off on himself.
To hear him describe Max Baer
you'd htink he could kill you with
flick of his finger, silly grin
from his big lips, leer from his
eyes. AS he talks he struts and
preens and glowers. My, my, my, a
fierce man.
Then we start figuring. Cameras
four-ply chump and a COOP, yet
Baer, Baer the killer, Baer the
hardest hitter in the world, had
him on the deck II times and yet
couldn't keep him there. At the
finish Carnera was still on his feet.
Schmeling Stood Up
He laid it onto Schmeling. too.
Laid it on with every ounce of that
200-pound frame of his. He swung
from the floor. He lifted them up
from his spikes. He stood off and
measured the Dutchman. Yet, if
my memory isn't up to some mis-
chief, Schmeling wasn't on the
canvas when it was all over.
He didn't get Loughran, either,
and Tommy, when Baer fought
him, couldn't have knocked a mon
key off his organ. And 1t took Baer
the Killer better than 30 rounds to
catch up to poor, tumbling, awk-
ward Levinsky.
Where does Brother Baer find
anything to justify his belief that
he's a deadly puncher, a ruthless,
battering force? Who has he ever
punched silly? Who has he ever
beaten to pulp. Nobody, that's
who. The mans strength lies in
an imagination so limited it for
bids his feeling pain, stubborn
chin that won't be dented. He's a
clubber, mauler, flounderer, a
big, overgrown gashouse guy that
can't be hurt.
He never threw a clean, hard
cracking punch in his life.
I Yet boys, when he gets in there
against Braddock in June-and he
will-ride your dough on the but
vher 10Y. Hes tough, and that's
more than you can say for James.
Matter of fact, it's more than you
can say for any of the challengers.
Even Jack Doyle, the Irish thrush.
BY the way, when's Jack going
to quit warbling when Irish Eyes
Are Smiling" and get in there and
justify his existence?

COAST LEAGUE
OPENING LONG
SEASON TODAY
BY JAMES A. SULLIVAN
United Press Staff Correspondent

SAN FRANCISCO, April 6. UR)-
Baseball warfare flared on four
fronts today as the Pacific Coast
league began the longest pennant
chase in organized baseball.
From today until September %
the eight clubs will battle through
a schedule, of 168 games in "a
weeks.
League officials and club own
ers were more than usually opti-
mistic as crowds trooped toward
parks in San Francisco, Oakland,
Sacramento and Los Angeles to
see the Mission Reds play the San
Francisco Seals, the Portland Bea-
vers challenge the Oaks, Seattle's
Indians battle Sacramento's Sena-
tors and the Hollywood Sheiks re-
new their intracity feud with the
Angels, the 1884 champions.
Increased attendance at exhibi-
ton games, new faces in the helm,
four new umpires dressed in blue, a
new deal all around at Portland
and employment gains which indi-
Gated fans would have more money
to spend on sports made the men
who invest in Americas national
pastime happy.
Although the teams appear bet
ter balanced than last year, when
Los Angeles made it runaway
race within a month after the get
away, the opinion of most experts
is that the Angels once again will
breeze across the wire first.
But the expecting can go wrong,
as 1t did last year when nearly
everybody picked the Seals and the
Sab Francisco club stagger d
through the entire season on the
edge of the second division.
Elaborate ceremonies - parades,
band concerts, and the ritual of
tossing the first bail-were arrang-
ed for the games. At Sacramento
the opening pitcher will be Cover
nor Frank F. Merriam. At Los An
geles Hyland Baggerly, league pre-
Sident, will take part.

GOOD GOLF
 By BiU KiSh>
DIVOTS FROM A GOLF
 DIARY

There are no water hazards on the 18th hole.
 A drive of 200 yards on Saturday stretches to 250 yards by Monday.
 The man with the heaviest bag of clubs doesn't always know what club to use.
 I wonder why someone does not write a book of instruc- tion on the stance for the fourth putt.
 Golf broadens ones educa- tion. A young lad learned eight new cuss words the first day he caddied.
 What a difference it makes whether it is your foursome or the one ahead that is hunt ing for a lost ball.
 From the looks of the fair ways, a lot of players confuse bridge with golf-they play spades insteads of clubs.
 The man who throws cig- aret butts on the greens is probably the same man whose wife makes him go down to the cellar to smoke when at home.

Another triple header of excel- lent proportions is expected to lure a near capacity basketball audience to Watertown high school gym to- morrow evening, as an aid to the Boy Scouts of that community, who will benefit from the proceeds of three games.

A. girls and St James girls of Danbury in one of two preliminaries and the Rey- mond Hillies billed for another joust with the Princeton A. A. Jun- iors.
