Five Teams Pass 2,SOO in Bid For Sl4S,OOO
 Prize Money

lew York, March 11.-(UP).-The 66 day and night stand of the an- n tal American Bowling Congress tournament is on It's second day to. day following a night of lusty pin- banging that will give bowlers the country over surprise because of the unusually high counts com- piled.
 With Mayor Fiorello H. LaGuar- dia of New York city throwing the first ball, aided and abetted by Louis Stein, oldest pinster in the classic this year, the 37th tourney was of to 8 flying start in the 2l2th Coast Artillery armory here last night.
 That 1t was Q flying start was evidenced by five 2800-class totals, to say nothing of five marks in the 2700-class. Every score made by the tish 10 of the evening will come in for a piece of the $l45,000 prize fund. + f."
 Tonight will see no such count ing as last night for three purely booster squads operate on the tim her. The first is away at 6 o'clock and is composed of 28 teams rep resenting the West Side Association of Commerce. At noon six Utica, N. r., pinsters call in the doubles and singles events.
 Something for keglers to thing ah it was the 280l recorded by Royal Recreation quintet of Jersey City on the inaugural squad. They got this mark with games of966, 957 and o58. This score finished 46th for $l04 at the Indianapolis classic last year.
 Then there was the 2s42 of Tioga clubbers of Jersey City. It had games of 9e6, 934 and 922. The out standins single game, however, was hun. up by the Patersors of Pater- son, N. J., in their final smash. They hit i059 and this is likely to stand for quite some days. The team bounced into third place with it7 S8l6.
 Fest individual series was offered by Walter Miller of Utica, a mem Der of the fourth-place Furcinito team. He added games of 292, 237 and 2l2 for a handsome 65l.

Carroll of the west New York Brunings was in a class by himself as he startled the damned house by knocking out a 2T4 in his opening session.

COMMISSION TO DECLARE TITLE
 VACANT IS HINT
New York MOguIs to Insist on June } Bout in
 New York

New York. March II. = (UP) s'.- Max Schmeling's offer to guarantee heavyweight champion, Jimmy Braddock, $250,00O to risk his title III Berlin next summer, got an icy re- ception from the four American parties concerned today. 7
 Braddock, his manager, Jim GoulCi. Madison Square Garden and the New York State Boxing Commission turned thumbs down on Max's proE= osition. t
 Champion Jimmy, busy absorbii's the Florida sun, just couldn't be bothered by anything as trifling ns 8 quarter-million.
 i I'm not interested" he said Fl Schmeling means what he says, why doesn't he contact my manager ia New York? All I'm interested in is retaining my title. I'd rather fight Louis in Chicago anyway" Gould was scornful of the offer.
 Let 'em boost 1t to $4O0,00J. change the agreement to an Amer ican referee instead of one 'mutI- ally agreed upon,' satisfy the claims of Madison Square Garden, aEI Mike Jacobs, then maybe we'll tah: business after the Louis fight III Chicago" he said. Why should we talk about quarter-million whRl we already have a half-milbou guarantee. The American filst and radio rights that Schmeling o fers us may be worth $l50,000, but he'll have to peddle 'em."
 The Garden, which holds the pre- motional contracts for a title de- fense by Braddock against Schmel- ing June in its Long Island Bowl could not get up any enthusiasm about the $50,000 Schmeling offered to guarantee the Americans promo ters. Mike Jacobs would have to get half of 1t as he sold his interest ii the fight Ca contract with Schmel- ing) for half of the promotional pro- ceeds.
 Colonel John Reed Fitzpatrick, Garden president, said he was not ready yet to comment until threat ened suit against Braddock for "an- ticipatory breach of contract" wns out of the way.
 Schmeling's offer was made sub ject to the approval of the State Athletic Commission which was not forthcoming. The commission does not want the state to lose the tax money from a Braddock- Schmeling bout and Chairman John J. Phelan hinted that Braddock's title might be vacated if he did not go through with his June 3 contract.
 We have not the power to name @ new champion" he said. But we can declare the title vacant if Brad- dock refuses to defend the chan- pionship against Schmeling." ter
 Berlin, March il. (UP) -- The morning paper, Berliner Lokolanzei- ger said editorially today that Max Schmelings offer to Braddock was mot only a defense of his honor and name, but of German sport and the Fatherland AS we'll" eVg
 "Braddock no longer can invoke the argument of a Jewish boycott or any other reason as an excuse against fighting Schmeling" It said. Should Braddock reject the offer he risks damaging his reputaticr as a sportsman.

HARVARD TO. AIR BASKETBALL AND
 SWIMMING MEET
Yale Provides SeIIOutS For Two Events at Cam-
 bridge Saturday
BY ERNEST, BARCELLA
 Limited Press Stan Correspondent


 Boston, March 1l--(UP)-Letting the sports chips fall where they may: (deuceS wild today)
 Harvard will put two of its minor sports on a big-time basis Saturday night. <. Crucial and climatic league clashes with Yale in swimming and basketball will be radiocast. |. Rival swimmers are undefeated and the basketball teams will be fighting for third place. The two sports never have been broadcast from Cambridge before.
 Neil Stanley, general assistant to Football Coacth Dick Harlow, is scheduled to do the basketball play-by- -play--over national hook up, no less. Nine New England stations will carry the swimcast.
 Authorities at Harvard decided on the broadcasts (both unsponsored) when both contests became sellouts. =. If the idea works, it's quite like ly that Harvard will put more of the league contests on the air lanes next winter.
 A couple of blue chips say that the two most important members of the Boston Red Sox holdout cast of four will be in the fold within the next four days {. . The two are Outfielder Doc Cramer and Short stop Eric McNail Nobody seems to care very much whether Utility Infelder Johnny Kroner and Relief Pitcher Jack Russell the other two recalcitrants, ever sign.
 Eddie Shore, the Boston Bruins ailing defenseman, may get into the playoffs. Eddie has been side lined most of the season with game leg and cracked vertebra.
 Speaking of the Bruins, fish bait is one of the answers to the re- juvenation of their ace right winger, Dit Clapper. A month ago, a local sporting goods house decided to give Dit a box of artificial min- nows for every goal he scored. . Tn 19 games since then Clapper has chalked up seven goals and two as- Sists.
 New England is the breeding ground for players on 9 of the casts leading college hockey squads. :. No less than 299 of 8 total of 431 come from this section. Massa- chusetts is the biggest contributor with 222. .. Connecticut is next with g, then New Hampshire with 19, Rhode Island 18, Maine 10 and Vermont 2.
 Now that the Dartmouth basket ball season is over, 1t can be told Best entertainment during games this past year wasn't fur nished by the team, but by Coach Osborne Cowles. His nervous gymnastics were VOWS. He did everything but kick over the water bucket. You'll never believe a coach can get so worked up over a game until you see this gent.

New York, March 11--(UP)-Un- able to secure seats to the Broadway comedy wanted to see, decided yesterday to visit fiStiana's highest tribunal, the New York Boxing Commission, and watch it sit in judgment. ps
 The commissions show still re- mains the finest farce in New York, This is due I think to the vibrant witlessnessvwlth which the leading actors manage to approach their roles each week. Time does not stale them. Week in and week out Generalissimo John J. Phelan de- flyers his lines-tens of thousands of them-in the same apoplectic manner. Session after session D, Walker wear tears into trivia with the same pompous roars, and Bill Brown laughs up his sleeve and yawns behind his big hands as though he hadn't heard 1t all a rnil- lion times before.
 From the moment you walk into the commission chambers and are sternly warned by the generalissimo not to sit on the first row of seats because it's reserved" until you leave, still wondering why the front seats are reserved when no one ever occupies them, pandemonium reigns.
 Pandemonium and the generalis- simo, that is. They work hand in hand and the effect is startling. Certainly they were startling yes- terday to frightened Aldo Spoldi, the little Italian featherweight who came in to ask that his fight with California's Henry Armstrong be postponed because his hands were hurt. The general threw X-rays and medical opinion at Aldo for half an hour, but finally had to yield under Aldo's steady stream of T know, MT. General, but I'm hurt cd"
 The generalissimo and Wear would have had Aldo there yet had not Brown skipped a yawn to point out that even if the brothers Mayo were brought on to testify that there was nothing wrong with AL dos hands, their evidence would not outweigh the Italians argument that he is "hurted."
 Dammit, they're his hands, and he should know what ails them" Brown pointed out. If your hands hurt, general, and you knew they hurt, would you let an X.ray tell you they didn't
 That would depend" answered the general, always great one to flail around the bush.
 Spoldi was no more out than Wear who has mad on at the generalis- sir1o and Brown (reportedly be- cause they wouldn't vote for him as commissioner, dug up a seven year-old charge against Armstrong, manager, Eddie Meade, anc voted to refuse him a license. Int generalissimo sided with Wear, ane Meade had the dumbfounded Arm- strong by the coattails and was leading him from the room, when Brown stiffled another yaWn and suggested they grant Meade a tenn porary license.
 This was done, and Brown saved the sensational coast youngster from heading West under the pro- tective wing of an outraged man. ager.
 As Meade went out he was passed by Sol Strauss, on the way in. No comedy writer ever imagined any thing as fantastic as Sol Strauss, lawyer for Michael Jacobs and the 20th Century Sporting club. Giant in stature, broken in speech, bald as an egg, and stone deaf, Strauss holds the worlds championship for free-style marathon talking. Be- fore the commission to represent
