BY HENRY sNicLEMORE United Press Stan Correspondent

New York, March 27.--(UP)- Striking with the lightning speed of a Maryland terrapin, the New York boxing commission, in brief, hurried session of five hours, yeE- tcrday drove straight as q boom- crang to the heart of tho heavy. weight boxing situation.
 At the finish Of tho conference tte tangled sKeins of tho boxing business were as neatly arranged as n plate of spaghetti. All the details, all the angles, were laid out In q manner that made them clear as jug of blackstrap mo. lasscs. Working hand in hand, the commissioner completed a magnificent task of cold, analytical muddling.
 Let me, without further ado, list the results of the meeting In their proper disorder:
 2. Primo Camera, because of his refusal to meet Jimmy Brad- dock. is definitely through as a n challenger for the title, and nothing he may do will cause the commission to reconsider his case. 8. Primo Camera, by agreeing tc meet Braddock. can keep in the running as challenger. 7N. Primo Camera is definite ly finished as challenger until he whips ole Louis in their bout here in June.
 12. Joe Louis definitely Is not a challenger, and whipping him means nothing. A. 13. Joe Louis definitely Is Q threat and the color line will not be drawn In this state.

BASEBALL DIAMOND DEADLINE NAMED
 FOR APRIL 27

With the news of the southern training camps again gracing the sport pages, naturally the fancies of young men interested in base ball turn to the great nationa! pastime. Applications for diamonds are beginning to come into the park department, several leagues and clubs already having sent in their request for playing fields.
 Supt of Parks Irving w. Harri- son today announced that all ap- plications for season permits for fields must be sent to the par k department office, in care of Will liam J. Dcrwin, not later than Saturday, April 27. Of course, weather permitting, special permits for all the park diamonds will be given out 'at the park department office before that time. Managers are requested to get their appli- cations in early to avoid being left without diamonds for the season. Getting Ready
 The diamonds at Fulton, Wash ington and Hamilton parks will soon be in use every afternoon by the grammar, parochial, and high school athletes. The grade schools will in all probability launch their campaigns late In April with the City league inaugural tentatively set for the second or third week in May.
 With the ice on the Hamilton park field disappearing this much used play lot will soon be under way so that the two diamonds will be ready for the high school and grammar school promicres.

Garden May Go Out Of State To Show Maxes

New York, March 27.-UP)-- James J. Braddock stood as No l contender for the world heavy weight title to-day, by edict of the New York state atheltic commis- sion, but Madison Square Garden will move out of the state if neces- sary to put Max Schmeling against Max Baer this summer.
 The aGrden's plans to match the Maxes in the Long Island Bowl were halted yesterday by the com mission. It ruled that B-addock's victory over Art Lasky last Fri day night placed him on top, and Schmeling must eliminate Brad dock before he can gete the chance to regain the title.
 Garden officials insisted that q Braddock- Baer fight wuold nor draw, while Schmeling's knockout over Steve Hamas would contri- bute to possible million dollar gate, and that's what they want.
 Jimmy Johnston, Garden pro- moter, sasid that Baer's next de- fensc definitely would be staged In another state unless Schmeling is sanctioned by the commission.

TO-DAY,S SPORT PARADE

II. Jimmy Braddock definitely Is the No challenger in this state because of his victory over Art Lasky.
 96. Jimmy Braddock definitely is the No 1 challenger unless Max Schmeling agrees to fight in this country.
 Imagine!
 While they did not officially an- nounce 1t, learned from highly unauthoritatiye source that the commissioners also agreed stitch In time is worth two in the bush. Dewey did earn the decision at Manila, and that sugar, insofar as they were concerned, does help cornbread.
 When the massive doors to the executive chambers finally wore opened to the reporters, every thing was in orderly confusion. Managers, fighters, writers, mes- sengcr boys and stenographcrs, were tearipg about in disciplined disorder.
 Yelled Jimmy Johnston of Medi- son Square Garden to Chairman John J. Phelan:
 You're gonna chase Schme elins and Baer out this statel" There's forty-seven more states ain't thereY' yelled back Phelan. "1'ry and name 'em, general" scoffed e reporter. "If you don't like this state,' beloved Commissioners Bill Brown give tho fight to Hitler. Give 1t 10 Hitler, Johnston, and throw in Joo Jacobs for good measure" Nuts" answered Johnston, as he adjusted his bowler and made

Dog Racing BH Proposed For LegisLaiDe Action h Apr
GOOD GOLF
 BiH KHSh

Probably you are saying to yourself, There are only two markings on a golf ball -the dimple and the mesh. The dimple is a round depres- sion marled all over the ball and the mesh is a square de- pression marked likewise. You see few golfers use any, thing else and all manufac. turers make both, yet you are partially right. Dimple' and mesh are the accepted mark ings, and most manufacturers do make both, but no two manufacturers use exactly the same dimple, or the same mesh.
 There is a world of differ ence between t h e dimple or mesh markings of two mak- CTS, and the effectiveness of those markings too. For in- stance, the depth, size, a n d shape of the depressions are very important. The tiniest fraction of an inch, one way or the other, .can affect the controllability of a golf ball. Imagine a ball which, due to the nature of the marking, has fewer depressions in some spots than in others.
 IF the ball hit where the depressions are fewest, it will skid. A pitch shot would be unlikely to hold, regardless of the back-spin. Of course the ball would have an equal chance of hitting where the depressions were most ire quent, but you would never know which it was going to do. This is but one example. There are hundreds. Golf ball markings must be accurate to Is of one-thousandth part of an inch.

SHOE HARDWARE PIN CHATTER

'"Tanglefoot' Loyot says he didn't step on his own foot Friday night. He says a floor board was loose which caused him to throw the ball wild. (Some excuse for captainD
 Duff says when q date with girl keeps you from bowling, mar ry the girl or learn to knit. Don't join bowling league.
 Snowshoe Madden had plenty oi competition on crossing the foul line this week by Pop Alcott and team. But Madden had on .the snoWshoes and won.
 It was "girlie night" for Bro-, deur and he rolled his games off early. He might as well have met the girlie early and saved the half dollar. His team lost three games anyway.
 Frank Belanger and Louie James will meet each other on the alleys for the last time this season on Friday night at 6:30. Their next meeting will be at the banquet. Frank holds the advan- tage on the alleys but at the table we place our bets on Louie.
 Sailor Burky became hysterical In the second game and cried 'I lost that game, but watch the next one". So the whole team helped him win 1t.
 The banquet committee went out to find q place to hold banquet. Somebody said that Walsh insisted on buying the Elton Hotel.
 Harry Byrnes took high single this week and also the dollar. (And was Bill LaRusso's face redD
 Tommy Loiselle and Harry Lie-, beck golfed the first game and bowled the next two. No kidding. Louis James defeat- cd Pop Alcott two games. (And they say there Is no Santa Claus. Satchell Pettijean says if his team doesn't win this round, he'll drink poison. (Wait until the banquet Satchel and we'll all drink 1t with you.
 Fred Lallier who bowled a 91 game Friday night says there is one for Otto Kleinert to shoot at. Shiek Brennan says Watch the cubs knock that team of cap- tains right off the top of the heap this week. Gust like Humpty- Dumpty)
 Cowboy Anderson's cactus ber- ries worked for him this week. He rolled three games" in the hum dreds.
 Goose Charest's scores looked like a circus ad (101 Ranch), hav- ing two games 101. Homer Leisring will have his vest buttons moved over 2 inches after the beating he gave Frank Beianger. (Better get new hat. too, Homer)
 Roundhouse Ball Brady wanted to know how sick you have to be to die. After the scores he got the first two games he became quite sick.
 Weyman got pep talk from Captain Loyot after the first game so he went right to work on the next two.
 Dok-1'er Tromley whose team is secure in the cellar position will have the coal bin move over to one corner so he and Klelncrt can play marbles.
 If Timmy Madden will take a week off some Sunday Harry Lle- beck will tell hl;n who got that laavanty-Eeyen.

Runaors And Reality Gathered From 7hiS Sporting World
 By JOHN A. CLUNEY The Grist Of Athletic Contest
Gaughan Defends Himself

Alleging that remarks concerning the Brooklyn A. c. members flights of imagination the part of Henry McGrath secretary of the City Amateur League rather than actual fact Bill Gaughan representative of the Irish American Clubs basketball squad presented his side of rather involved situation that the Brooklyn old timer Tom Keane would get farer slant the matter than that which contained in his letter to this department last evening"
 Gaughan in answer to the Keane missive has the fol- lowing to say:
 Waterbury, Connecticut
 March 26, 1885 Dear MT. Cluney:
 In answer to the letter you had printed in your column tonight wish you would kindly print this 
 don't blame MT. Keane bit for getting the following remark which appeared in the Waterbury Democrat in Mr. Henry McGrath's column, "There is sporting blood in Brooklyn"
 never said anything like that because, first of all have too many friends in the Brooklyn section ncud ing Tom Conway an officer of the Brooklyn Athletic Club, whom would not care to hurt Secondly What would profit out of such remark?
 Myles Kelly, Mat Dunphy and myself are the best of friends, though the papers sound though have on boxing gloves at each meeting.
 MT. Keane: When read that piece in the paper l was as much surprised as you were and called Mr. McGrath, who is reporter the Democrat and asked him why did he print such remark when l told him said anything like that and he said he would retract the statement but he did.
 So, MT. Keane, you come back at the Brooklyn lad Henry McGrath who writes anything he wishes whether it hurts anyone not I don't see why the Democrat allows him to print such trash.

WHITE WONDERFUL AS CADETS BEAT
 REYMOND SQUAD.
Brooklyn " Center Big Gun in 23.I4 Victory;
 Falcons Win

A redoutable band of Cadet speedsters from the Brooklyn sec- tion catapulted their way into the finals of the second round of the Brooklyn Y Interclub league by overwhelming the Raymond Hili..es with a second half rally to win by 23-14 count on the Brooklyn court last night.
 The star, to which the Cadets hitched their wagon was a lanky package of dynamite, the Timber jumping center, Willie White, who single handedly equalled the los- CTS score by tallying seven baskets for 14 points. Carroll and Martone were a stalwart pair for the win- ners holding the I1illies guards in check and along with Richie Ca- paldo who scored three hoops stood out for the losers.
 The sterling play of Armond, Cunha in the forecourt was the feature of an otherwise lack lustre performance on the part of the boys from the Washington Hill section. who last week copped the first round of the Y league by smothering the Falcons. The Ca dets victory last night was the big 6Cbt dpOGL LO udLc tIlC iCdB anu gives them a shot at the Falcons tomorrow night for the champion ship of the second round. The win ner of the second round will meet the Hillies next week to decide the 1885 champion.
 Lee Looks On
 With Jimmy Lee, Wilby coach. sitting on the sidelines. White put on one of the greatest exhibitions of shooting ever seen at the Brook lyn Y. A few weks ago it was ru- mored that Lee wanted White to go back to school to play center for the Wildcats next season and after last nights showing 1t Is more than probable, that White will be seen with the Wilby five next season. Willie stole the spot light from two Wilby stars, Freddy Sullivan and Pete Pomponio and held the latter scoreless through out the entire game. a feat that no other player in tho league has accomplished. A swift circular passing attack followed by a nice bucket play bafflcd the Hillles and enabled the lanky White to regis ter four times in the first half and three in the final half.

In tfe third quarter the winners in creased their lead to Al to 32 and in the final ten minutes put on one of the greatest point making ex. hibitions seen on the Red Triangle court in years, scoring 26 points and holding the Merdenites 10 five.

VARSITY OF N.E.Y. BEATEN AGAIN BY
 NEW BRITAIN E

New Britain, March 27--Sparc ribs and sauerkraut win over spa ghett. It happened here last night, and the final score was Az 30. The new local Boys Club bril- liant basketecrs again won over tho North End Y varsity of Waterbury in q game that was furiously con- tested for about 30 minutes.
 Losers Slow
 We say only 30 minutes because in the 10 minutes that was the third period, the North End lads gave an excellent exhibition of slow motion guarding. They seemed to be rehearsing their dance steps for the hop that was to follow the game. In fact, some of the boys showed more action at the dance than they did on the bask etball court.
 Ralph Santopietro and Dom Spa dola, high scorers in the Watcr- bury City Amateur League, collect ct but two points between them, q foul shot apiece.
 Jacunski Plays
 However, in due justice to the North Enders, who were out to avenge their two previous defeats. one by one point and the other by five points, the New Britain club strengthened their lineup with the acquisition of Jacunski, six and q half foot all-state center last sea- son.
 New Britain got every tap at center and even with the handicap the North End Y had, the Club bers on the run in the first half.
 Jacunski, together with "Banan- as" Bakanas, another six footer, had ping-pond match of their own, keeping the leather almost always in the upper stratosphere and 1t was remarkable that their scoring activities were kept down to only 19 points. Credit must be given to little Jackie Martin and Ralph Santopietro who. although rot equipped with spikes for climbing Poles Cor Lithuanians) would in some manner soar into the ether and defect q pass to q waiting Y man.
 Gut Plays Well
 Gut, New Britain left guard, de- serves honorable mention in mak- ing points which consisted of 4 clean ringers from past the middle of the floor.
 Martino with II points and Mar tin with hoops and fouls were the North End stars.
