BOSTON BRUINS FAVORED FOR A
 SEM|-F|NAL SPOT
Montreal on Hub Ice To- night-Rangers GO-
 ing We'll

Boston, March 27. UP-Deter- mined to capture the second-place play-of series in their rubber game with the Montreal Maroons here to- morrow night, the Boston Bruins today recalled two players from their Providence farm to bolster the under-manned club.
 Peggy fONeil and Bobby Bauer, forwards, will be ready for action, but Manager Art Ross has not de- cided which of the two he will use. If Roy Goldsworthy is unable to play, it is likely that both will see service. Goldsworthy suffered a broken nose in Thursday nights game when he was dumped to the ice by Lionel Conacher, Burly Mon- treal defenseman.
 Meanwhile, Dit Clapper, big right winger, will remain at right defense. Clapper was moved back to the points Thursday. That bit of strate- gy was credited largely for the Bruins 40 victory over the ram- paging Maroons, who had chalked up seven victories and one tie in eight games up to then.
 Boston ruled a slight favorite to win the game and series and thus move into New York for the semi- finals against the Rangers. The Bruins have the advantage of play ing the all-important game on home ice. Montreal has not been for tunate on the Boston surface, win- ming only one game here so far this season.
 With the possible exception of Goldsworthy, both teams will be at full strength for the vital clash.

New York, March N.-(UP)-For the first time in my life ,. have been overcome by a laundryInarl.
 The lanndryman who conquered me is George Marshall, the wet wash tycoon from Washington, D O., who, for some reason that is as obscure as the explanation for put ting starch in collars, has taken over the sports promotion of Pan-Amer- ican Exposition.
 The Pan- American Exposition, in case your laundryman hasn't told you about it, will be held in Dallas Texas, beginning June 12, and will run Dallas hopes) for 142 days. It will be very damn cultural, but for those who tire of culture after two courses, a gigantic sports program has been arranged.
 And this is where Brother Mar shall comes in. He has been en- gagged, at an alleged salary of $l00,- OO0, to stage a sports show which. in quantity at least, will make the Olympic games seem a high school relay meet in comparison. I don't know why Marshall was chosen. It may have been because his wife is the former Corinne Grifdth of the silent films. It may have been be- cause he dreamed and brought into being the Roosevelt Speedway. It may have been because he owns the professional football team known as the Washington Redskins. Or it may have been because he was born in West Virginia and wound up as one of Broadway,s most elegant hot spot spenders. :,
 But. anyway, the Pan-American sports business is his baby, and he is going to shoot the works. I've read his first batch of publicity, and the only sports event he over- looked was a putting contest be- tween two virile and determined billy goats. Everything else is there, in- cluding a 300-mile automobile race, with $l7,5O0 in prizes: track meet involving 2l countries; a boxing tournament in which the champions of Central America, South America, and plain America will strike one another on the nose: soccer engage ments pitting those sterling soccer ists of Uruguay, Chile, Argentina, and the United States; and, as 8 grand finale, a marathon race from Mexico City, Mexico, to Dallas.
 It Is the last item which intrigues me the most, because it conjureS up memories of c. c. Pyle's famed "bunion derby" That was a tre- mendous sports event, for it settled for once and for all which man in America had the strongest arches and the weakest mind.
 The winner of that Derby earned fame. I forget his name,

Grimm All Set and PrOnl-
 ises '.No Slump" This l. -..l..s Season re.
BY JOHN DUNLOP

Limited Press Sta@ COrrespondent)
 Avalon, Santa Catalina Island, Cal, March T7-lUP)-It would be fairly easy for Manager Charley Grimm to jot down his Chicago Cub lineup for the 1897 season opening.
 Charley Is sitting pretty = on paper-with a veteran team ready to make things hot in the National league.
 While optimistic about his chances, Grimm sees a wide open race, with Cincinnati showing most improvement.
 .'Itll be wide open race" he says, with New York, St. Louis, and Pittsburgh the teams to beat. We won't slump this year = IT. promise you that.oh n. v
 Soc Maybe Opinion is divided whether trading Lon Warneke to the Car dinals weakened the Cubs. But Grimm plugged up his only weak spot when he obtained Ripper" Collins to play first base. Young Phil Cavarretta hit .273 last year and was weak defensively compared to Grimm, whom he replaced on first. Collins; isi, a long distance slugger and Cayarretta will be giv- en chance in the outfield.
 Roy Parmelee, pitcher, who came to Chicago in the Warneke deal along with Collins, is anxious to boost his 1936 mark of Il victories. His main pitching mates will be Larry French and William Lee, big guns last year with IS victories each; Curt Davis, Clay Brant, Tex Carleton, Charley Root, all regu- lars. In addition, there will be Wes Flowers, recalled from Toledo and Clyde Shoun, Birmingham left handed sensation.
 Guy Epperly, an Eau Claire rookie, and Walter Higbe may sneak into the group of nine pitchers to be carried by Grimm.
 Grimm will stand pat on the re- n1ainder of his infielders. Stanley Hack will be at third, Bill Jurges at short and Billy Herman, second. Linus Frey, traded from Brooklyn, and Henry Majeski, 1885 hitter from Eau Claire, give the Cubs good reserve strength.
 Action
 A bitter. battle is imminent for the outfield posts. Grimm has Frank Deinaree, Augie Galan and Tuck. Stainback from last year. Demaree's mighty $50 average makes him Q fixture but Stainback slumped to .173. Joe Marty, who hit 1859 for San Francisco last year, Is an even bet to land in the outf1eld. Others seeking field duty are Cavarretta and Henry Meyer, .SS8 hitter from Eau Claire. Galan may try 8 shift from center to left and also a new batting stance.
 Starting his 18th year in the majors, Gabby Hartnett will catch with Jimmy O,Dea as his under study. Harold Sueme from Toledo ranks ahead of Frank Garback. combination catcher -outfielder.
