BIG SCORES IN
 CATHOLIC LOOP
Former Champions Beaten Badly-Fine Pitching
 Features Play

There was no question about the best towns in Parochial League com petition yesterday afternoon as the winners came through with mar gins of victory ranging from five to 26 runs. St. Johns of WAtertown made an suspicious debut in the league with a 27-l win over the hap less St. Joseph lads from the Brooklyn section, who were unable to get a hit from Pichette or Ha- belka, their lone run coming on errors. Home runs were clouted by Kielty and Pichette, while the team scored 27 runs on a dozen hits.
 Parade to Bank
 Two hits were all Sacred Heart batters could garner from the deliv- cry of Lynch, for the St. Francis Xavier team who pinned q l3-2 setback on the east end lads, for several years one of the leagues strongest teams. Appropriate open ing of the season ceremonies were held including parade from the St. Francis school to the Washing ton Park field, to the music of a band and a police escore led by Cap tain Bill Duggan. President Harry x. cashin tossed out the first ball to Major Martin Bowes who prompt- ly relaycd 1t to center field in an exhibition of his throwing arm to second base, which was good enough in the old days at the Rye lots but is a little creaky at the joints this sea- son.
 One Man Team
 Hitting four times, including a home run and pitching his team to an easy win. Joyce of the St. Thomas team was an easy winner in a l2-2 game with St. Anns.
 St. Mary's, also one Of the pest Parochial teams for many years were shut out so by Sts. Peter and Paul boys, Sugden of the winners losing no-hit, no-run game when Doran dropped a throw to first base with two out in the ninth inn- ing, the play being followed by a single.

BOSTON RED SOX
 AT DETROIT FOR ANOTHER TEST
World Champions Yet to Score on Hub Rivals;
 Bees CIinch 9th Place

Boston, May l2- (UP)-James "Tiny" Chaplin, rookie up from the Southern Association where base ball and feudia have a lot in com- mon, has made the grade today, aft- CT pitching the Bees to 2 to 1 vic- tory over the Brooklyn Dodgers.
 The win gave the Bees the series, two games to one, and enahnced their grip on sixth place in the Na- tional league standings.
 Chaplin, who won 24 and lost only il for Nashville last year, bested George Earnshaw, Dodgers slow ball teaser, in a pitching duel. Earnshaw allowed fewer hits, but was forced to retire in the ninth as the Bees set up their victory rally.
 Went the Route
 Chaplin's triumph, his first of the season, entities him to take his place alongside Danny MacFayden in the Bees exclusive circle of nine-inning pitchers. Not even Ray Benge, de- spite four straight victories, has gone the full distance.
 Chaplin shares yesterdays glory with Tony Cuccinello, former Dodg- CTS star, who has made Casey Stem gel regret he ever traded him to Boston. Cuccinello, who drove in the winning run in Sundays l2-inning fray, singled home the first Bees run and doubled in the ninth inning spurt.
 The Bees were tied at the start of the ninth for the fourth consecu- tive game. Berger singled and Tony doubled to drive Earnshaw from the mound. Hal Lee loaded the bases on a flelders' choice, and two plays la- ter Ben Geraghty unleased q wild throw home 10 let Berger score with the deciding run.
 Bad News
 The Bees today tackle Pittsburgh in three-game session. Manager Bill McKechnie declined to nom- mate his starting pitcher in ad- vance.
 The Pirates come to Boston, after taking an II to G drubbing from the Red Sox yesterday in an exhibition contest. The Sox, stopping off en route to Detroit, enjoyed 8 lucky seventh when four hits, four walks and an error of Judgment by Pitch- CT Mace Brown netted seven runs.
 Until this sn"en-run explosion the Sox were trailing to 3, as Waite Hoyt held them fairly well in check for Ave innings. A home run by Jimmy Foxx in the first inning and a triple, extended to homer on er- TOTS, in the fourth caused Hoyt his only real trouble.
 Wes Terrell was slated to open the series with the world champions al Detroit today. Terrell also opened the Detroit series in Boston, shut ting out the Tigers with two hits fir the rain. Detroit has yet to score 2 run against Boston, as Lefty Grove also blanked them in the second game of the recent Boston series,

Madison, Wis, May 12. (UP)-- ABoys, l bought one way ticket to Madison, Because I'm here to stay awhile"
 That was Harry Stuhldreher's first message to the students of Wisconsin when he arrived here to take over the football duties on Q campus over which smoke of the recent war of rum and rebellion still fingered.
 Today the little fellow with big smile, who used to tell the four horsemen of Notre Dame wher to ride. sat behind his desk in the Badger athletic ofiice and talked of his new job with an enthusiasm which made one wonder If he real- ized the size of the task that faced him.
 Knows the Situation
 Later 1t developed that he did. He knows, for example, that Wis consiu, with hundreds of schools to choose from, years ago elected Min nesota as It's chief football rival. He admits Wisconsin might well have made Q happier choice than the pile-driving Gophers--Racine dental and music conservatory, say---but he refuses to allow the prospects or & Minnesota stampede to dampen his spirits. .,,
 "The only thing really don't like about the game with Minnesota" Harry chuckled, lis that its the last one on our schedule I always prefer something like Mexico U. for the last game, because you know @ coach has @ lot of time to remem- Der during the winter"
 Stuhldreher also knows or the problem which deals with the large number of crack Wisconsin High school players who pass by their own state university for other cole legea, Northwestern, for one, had ten or twelve Wisconsin boys on it's varsity squad last year. Among them were such players as Wally Cruice and Ollie Adelman. Min mensota had a pair of sweet Wis consin bali carriers, too. in Pug Lund and Jules Alphonse. Stuhl- dreher is not worried by this "de- eertion."
 "They'll start coming home as soon as we start winning" he said. "You can't blame a youngster who knows he has the stuff for wanting to play with a winner. It's simply up to us here to entice him with dust that. And we will. Maybe not right away, for spring practice has showed up that Wisconsin, at this time. just hasn't the sort ow squad that can cope with this headache league that's the big ten. Our squad right now is big in numbers and size. but it's slow. And the Notre Dame system doesn't work SO well with slow boys. Already we've moved half . dozen backs up on the line in order to get speed. And we'll keep moving them until we get what we want"
 The new coach could not say vnonRh for the grst spirit ils which kle new coaching regime had been Meeted, both by the players and the kchool as . whole.
 They've been Gwell." Btuhldreher aald. "We've been made to feel that

By LESLIE AVERY United Press Stan Correspondent

 New York, May 12-(UP) The staggering Chicago Cubs, plagued by cratic pitching and weak hits ting on the part of erstwhile slug gers, came into the Polo Grounds today and Manager Bill Terry of the New York Giants has "big bertha" all ready.
 Terry, who indicated last year that he might retire, is in the Giant lineup with both feet these days seeking to couteract the disastrous western invasion -four won seven lost) by the power of his potent bat. He is leading both leagues with an average of .568--2i hits in 90 tries.
 Terry continued mauling the ball yesterday, having a perfect day at bat with double and two singles in three attempts.
 The Giants finally nosed out the Philadelphia Phillies 13 to l2 in a slugging duel in which six home runs were blasted, Ave of them by the Phillies.
 With the Giants trailing two runs with two men on base in the ninth, Mel Ott knocked oue of Bud Pas- seau's pitches right out of Phillies park for 8 homerun. When Mel trotted across home plate behind his two mates, 1t made a total of eight runs he had driven in during the afternoons affray.
 The Brooklyn Dodgers dug down deeper in the cellar with a ninth iIl- ming error that enabled the Boston Bees to lick them 2 to 1.
 Western National league clubs and easctern American league clubs were not scheduled yesterday.
 The Chicago White Sox climbed into fourth place tie with the De- troit Tigers in the American league by handing the St. Louis Browns Q l0 to 6 walloping. Six batsmen col. lected 9 hits of five St. Louis Hurlers.

What Happened Is Sheer Madness" Declares As-
 sistant Secy. McGrady
EFFORTS BEGUN ANEW
 TO REACH SETTLEMENT
Walkout Called at Midnight when Final Conferences
 Prove Futile

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 30. "A strike of 37,00O maritime workers which has been threatening for several days, was called into effect at mid night last night, tying up everything along the Pacific Coast from Alaska to San Di- ego.
 The strike call was an nounced through Assistant Labor Secretary Edward F. McGrady and issued by F. M. Kelly, Secretary of the joint union negotiating committee representing all major marine unions.
 Kelly said the committee voted unanimously to call a walkOut after a meeting last night at which all angles of the labor situation were dis cussed.
 Assistant Secretary Me- Grady, who has been here sev- eral days attempting to avert the walkout, said he would stay on the job in efforts to bring a speedy peace.
 What has happened in this situation is sheer madness" declared McGrady. We will leave no stone unturned in an effort to reach a speedy set dement,"
 The Labor Secretary said the first step would be to call a meeting between the mas ters, mates and pilots and the coastwise shippers, later hold ing conferences with other groups.
 Progress being made toward new working agree ments between the sea-going unions and coastwise freight operators ended in a final con- ference with the Sailors Un- ion of the Pacific in disagree ment. The third employer group, the eastern and foreign lines, had received no replies today to the separate peace offer made to the Interna- tional Longshoremen's Asso- citation.
