Miami, Fla, Feb. 19.%(UP)--1f I were elected president of the United States, the first thing I would do (after driving through a red light and telling the cop where he could go) would be to appoint race horse handicappers to all the di6acult am- bassadorial posts.
 They would make superb repre- sentatives, especially in those coun- tries where relations were touchy and any fortnight expression of opinion would be sure to lead to complications. I fell to thinking on these lines today Cit takes Q fall to make me think, you know) when I consulted the form sheets and se- lection pages before moving on Hialeah for an afternoon of play among mans best friend or the king of beasts, or whatever they call the horse.
 In the past never had sought the aid of the handicappers when playing the horses, but depended on my own system, 8 sort of combina- tion of the Chinese and hatpin the. ories. But when it began proving unreliable on tracks that were slow, fast, or muddy, I yielded my pride and turned to the men who rate horses for a livelihood.

Beverage Bo1gling League Notes

Plenty of whitewashes were found in the wash last week after our boys flnished bowling at Andy Carroll's A. B. c. alleys. Topping them all, of course, was the unexpected three game defeat administered our league leading Ciders by the Beers. This match was hard fought despite the fact that very low scores predom" mated on both sides. Neither team was able to come within mile of hitting 1500 for their nights efforts. The Beers hit 1476 and the Ciders, experiencing their worst three games of the season, hit only a432. Only one game was over the 800 mark and that was the Beers last game of 504, made possible only by Johnny Nelson's 139. score. The Ciders were decidedly of form and were beaten by 6, 5 and 3l pins, and incidentally, this marked tht first time that they have been white washed this season. The high scores for the winners were Nelson 348 and Green 320 while the losers best bets were F. Kern 322 and Kennedy BOA.
 The Gins strengthened their hold on second place by swampt1g the Whistles in all three games. They had little difnculty In winning as four of their men hit over 300 and they totaled g 1867 triple. Leo Scul- ]y was their top man with 346 and Fred Delaney had a 3l5. The Whis- kies could not seem to ind them selves and the defeat dropped them to fourth place tie with the Cog macs. Jack Slattery's 347 score was high for them, followed by Mo- Carthy's 30l.
 Two weeks ago the tail end Bran- dies changed the order of their line up completely and rolled a 1878 total in taking two game victory. Last week they used the same order and came through with flying colors in hitting a splendid 1647 triple fonly- 25 pins from high team three rec ord) to take three games from the Wines. If this team will only take their bowling real serious from now on and show up in good condition every week they'll be out of the cel- lar in no time and will find them selves climbing higher in the stand

ing very quickly. Certainly more power to them as they had plenty of tough breaks early in the season. Tommy Corden was their leader last week with a 364, while Horan 334, Montory 332 and Bill Kern 328 cer- tainly did their share. Harry Con- way led the losing Wines with 334 while Pat slattery had 312 and Ray Corden 309.
 The Champagnes advanced to third place in the standing by talk ing two games away from the Cog macs. The Champs were without Ray Bergen and the "Cogs" were minus Howard Jones. For the fourth week in succession the Cognacs were way below the 1900 mark and didn't have a chance after the Cham pagnes got their eyes trained on the pins. Gregory 349. Moriarty 319 and Johnson 314 featured for the win ners while Dick Whites 308 score was the highest the losers could produce.

 motors Warned

Chicago, Feb. 19-(UP)-Heavy- weight Champion James J. Brad dock met Bomber Joe Louis today to sign for a 15-round title fight at Comiskey Park, June 9. Louis was the first negro challenger since Jack Johnson knocked out Jim Jef- fries at Reno.

 It will be the champions first title defense and his first fight since he defeated Max Baer for the crown May B, 1895.
 The Garden, which has contract for Braddock to defend his title against Max Schmeling of Ger many in New York June 3, warned Triner, Gould and others high in the promotion that 1t would take legal steps to protect its interests.
 Timer said he never at any time had any thought of tnterfer- ing with the Gardens contract" Gould said he was fully aware such a contract existed but he refused to be checked in his determination to land the Louis match.
 We fight here regardless of any thing" Gould said. wen sign and take the consequences"
 Braddock appeared in excellent condition-within six pounds of the weight at which he went in against Baer. Despite his long stretch without a major fight, he looked better than he did after his first banqueting year as heavyweight champion.
 The Bomber. however, was report ed i'll. A cold and sinus infection slowed him up during his Matte Brown fight Wednesday night, his handlers said, and they ordered a long rest.

STELLAR HIGH
 SCHOOL CLASH
 AT LOCAL GYM
Crosby and LeavenwOrth in Battle Tonight; Ac-
 ton Promised

What shapes up as a fine and final attraction of the high school basketball season gets under way tomorrow night when Naugatuck and Wilby meet for the second and last time this season. The game, scheduled for the Wilby gym, fig- ures to draw 8 near capacity crowd of hoop fans. the two teams never fail to put on hoop test that steps up the blood pressure of the onlookers. The Reserve teams of the two schools will put on their usual tussle which ought to warm up the customers fer the varsity game with chances good of two good games taking place.
 Wants To Win
 Coach Jim Lee of Wilby wants to win the final game of the season badly, and has his lads primed for the test, the boys themselves being particularly confident since their two wins over Crosby though losing to Harding since the last one-point three overtime win over Billy Scho- fields club. Frank Darlington will probably start at the center post and will be figured as a real threat while he is in play, since his win- ming effort that beat Crosby. Joe Runividge and Bus McGrath will be seen at the forward posts and Captain Billy Moore and Bobby Ray in the backcourt. From the Naugatuck angle, Czaplicki, Sweeney and Anderson are figured to give Wilby the most trouble. Charley Petrino, of Bridgeport will ofhciate the game, which is sched- uled for 8:30 o'clock, reserved seats being sold today at both high schools and at Biener's Sport Shop.
 Crosby vs Leavenworth
 Tonight, Crosby and Leavenworth will meet in their second game of the season, with Phil Casman as re- fertee, at the Wilby gymnasium. Wally Pranskitis. who has been playing fine game for the Blue and White all season is to play his final game for Crosby as will Block, Karmen and Captain Eddie Mur- phy. Leavenworth will lose Ventu- rean, Addessio and Mazzie after the game. On paper. Crosby figures to win by a considerable margin, and it is probable that the Schofield squad will try for as many points as they can crowd into g minutes of play. most of which should be interesting, now that Leavenworth Is rated a Class A school no longer afaliated with the Western Connec- ticut League. Dancing will follow the game, which should attract a large student following.
