the Associated Pres.

n 1EW YORK, April 18.-Joe Cro-
~ min, playing manager of the
" Boston Red Sox, says he in
n tends to bench himself in
definitely if his new infield combina-
ton clicks.
Out of the game for at least two
weeks with double fracture of the
thumb, Cronin has shifted Eric Nc
Nair to his shortstop berth. put Os-
car Melillo on second and taken Bill
Werber in from his outfield post to
cover the hot corner. Mel Almada is
in Werber's right field position.
Il hope this new set-up clicks so
that I can't get back in the game" !"
said Joe. I'm young and I've still
got a lot of base ball in my system,
but it's a winning club that I want
and will sit on the bench, even after
this thumb mends, if this new COM
bination operates as I hope it will"
The name of Bill Terry was broached
the Giants manager who, suffering
from an injured knee, has benched
himself in favor of Sam Leslie.
But my case isn't like Terry's,"
said Joe. Hes been around a long
time and I'm still young fellow.
agree with Terry that playing and
managing at the same time is plenty
to do, but I contracted to be a playing
manager and I'm not groaning about
it. Still, I will stay right in the dug
ont if those fellows ont there show mo
they can operate in winning style"

WEARY GEV|NSON
BOWS TO Church
D. c. Boy Near Exhaustion
in Losing Semi-FinaI
at Boxing Meet.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
~LEVELAND. Ohio, April 18.-
A The jinx that has trailed Lou
Gevinson, fiashy Washington
featherweight, in his Nation
al A. A. U. boxing tournament tests
asserted itself against last night as the
sharp-faced Jewish lad dropped a de-
cision to Joseph Church, game Buffalo
battler.
Eliminated after reaching the semi
final round, GevinSon thought back to
several years ago when as a bantam
he lost to Lou Salica, who later turned
professional and won the world ban
tamweight championship.
Gevinson probably has not fought
his final amateur bout, however. He
has been swinging Simon-pure punches
for more than five years and has in
dicated his desire to turn professional
this Summer after trying for a place
on the Olympic boxing team. BY
reaching the semi-finals he automatic
ally qualified for the right to partici-
pate in the try-outs.
Church, more than the jinx, was re-
sponsible for Gevinson's defeat. After
being fioored in the first round for
a nine count with left hook to the
chin Church rallied in the last two
rounds as Gevinson YEARLY tried to
land his knockout punch.
Exchanging blows in the middle of
the ring in the third canto, both bat
tiers tossed many shots and fell into
each others arms exhausted. The
crowd of 5000 gave the featherweights
the largest ovation of the tourney.
Titles were won by Church, Jackie
Wilson, 112, Cleveland; Bill Joyce, 118,
Gary, Ind; Tom Pallatine, 1876, South
Bend, Ill; Leo Sweeney, lat, Pitts
burgh; Jimmy Clark, 160, Jamestown,
N. Y; John Lasinski, ITS, New York,
and Willard Dean, heavyweight,

Seating Capacity Changed.

SHERRY disagreed with Jennings,
- saying permission would have to
come from w. R. c. Wood. who is in
charge of construction, from w. Earle
Andrews, general superintendent, or
from Commissioner Moses.
Wood also refused to grant permis-
sion, Andrews was gone for the day.
and the commissioner, called on the
telephone by Jennings, agreed that "a
reporter couldn't tell anyway" and
denied the permit.
Since New York's bid for the trials,
the stadium has undergone several
astonishing changes.
Originally, New York was given
preference over Dallas, Philadelphia,
Chicago, Princeton and other bidders,
on the condition that Randall's Island
Stadium would seat $4,000 spectators
and provide standing room for 10000
more.
Jennings said today that it will
accommodate $4,000 when completed"
