BRADDOCK GETS
 DOWN TO WORK
Trains With Axe at Wis., consin Camp = Joe
 Louis to Rest

Stone Lake, Wis, April 7.-CUP) James J. Braddock settled ill his first CO.,. litioning camp since he out pointed Max Baer for the heavy weight title almost two years ago, planned heavy workout with a woodsman's axe today.
 Braddock yesterday indicated he was more than satisfied with the expansive training grounds Ogren provided. He called immediately for an axe. Finally in actual training he appeared determined to peel of his excess weight as quickly as pos- sible.
 His trainer. Doc Robb, said the champion scaled an even 200 pounds, eight more than he expects to weigh when he steps into the ring at Comiskey Park to defend his title against Joe Louis June 9.
 Chicago, April 7.-(UP)-All slept out in a bed that stands still" Bomber Joe Louis looked forward today to two weeks rest before he opens training for his scheduled bout with Jimmy Braddock June 22.
 Julian Black, co-manager of Louis, said he likely wil go to West Baden, Ind, or Hot Springs, Ark, for a rest after his transforming tour.
 The Bomber slept all day yester- day-his first full shift on a sub- stantial bed since he went on the road in special car one month ago.

These, like the wor- steds and reversibles, come so smartly styled as to threaten the long dominance of the trench coat style.
 One of the newest of the cotton twills is 8 ritzy- looking affair that is actually reproduction of a pop ular English coaching raincoat. It is 8 beltless raglan. model featur- ing 8 skirt with an 85-inch sweep. That means that the water runs of your shoulders far, far away from your pants-cuffs.

 The other important classifica- ton of, raincoats is the totally wa terproof group. These are usually oiled silk or cotton, or rubberized fabric. These really waterproof raincoats should be the choice of the man whose activities put him in the way of good soaking.
 For Huntin,' Fishin' and Coffin
 They come in all the popular models. both belted and loose-hang- ing. The coaching coat mentioned above among the shower proof" also comes in a completely water proof model of oiled cotton. Some very fancy things have been done in oiled silk rainwear for the sake of sports fanatics who must have their golfing, fishing or hunting, come rain or high water. These include waist-length jackets and two-piece suits. Their virtue is that they fold compactly into q small envelope to stow in g0lf-bag, car or hunting coat pocket.

Boston, April 7-(UP)-They call me the granddaddy of marathoners.
 It looks like the boys have got something there. You see, am 53 years old-the oldest competitor in the B. A. A. marathon-and I am a grandfather. But I can still give the young fellows a good fight in long-distance race.
 Ready To Go
 Through all these years, have kept in good condition. am down to 145 pounds and feel great. This year, I started training for the B. A. A. marathon on March 1. I run home from work twice a week Tuesdays and Thursdays. On Saturdays I take 8 long run. And on Sundays, I go for long walk in and around Greenwich and East Port Chester, Conn, where work and live.
 Speaking of work, for the first time in seven years, now have a steady job as bricklayer-thanks to F. D. R.. s
 From a personal standpoint, there will be a lot of sentiment attached to this years race. It will mark the 20th anniversary of my first and only victory in the B. A. A. mara thon. This also will be the 23rd time I have run in the B. A. A. classic and will be the tooth mara thon race of my long career.
 Perhaps
 How dol expect to make out in this years B. A. A. run?
 We'll, finished 18th last year in 2:15:52-which shows that the old stamina and speed are still there. This year, think can cover the course in 2:50 flat.
 If it's cold and the other boys run like hell, I will finish about 2Oth. But if it's a warm day and teh heat slows up the fast men, I figure will finish among the first eight. Oh, there's still lot of drive in these old legs!

 New York, April 7.-(UP)-The New York Rangers leave for Detroit tonight needing but two victories over the Red Wings to win the Stanley cup-the most sought after prize of professional hockey. The Rangers looked fair when they dusted off Toronto two straight to move intot he semi-finals, showed vast improvement as they vaulted into the finals with brace of wins over the Maroons, and looked great last night as the ytorpedoed the powerful Red Wings, 5-1, in the first of the five game sereis for the trophy donated by Lord Stanley.
 Ten-to-one underdogs at the start of the playoffs, the New Workers moved into Detroit 5 to favorites to win two of the remaining four games against the National league champions. And the odds prob ably would be greater except that all remaining games will be played on the Red Wings home ice and the fact that the Rangers only beat the Wings once in eight games during the regular season. In favor of the Rangers was Goalie Norm Smiths injured right shoul- der which forced him to retire last night after the first period.
 The Rangers three first period scores were made off Smiths right side, and Manager Jack Adams said after the game,
 T figured the game was lost on Smiths showing in that session so I took him out so as not to risk fur ther injury"
 The brilliant Detroit goal tender was injured in the first-place play offs with the Montreal Canadiens.
 The Ranger dressing room was 8 madhouse after last nights win, and cries of "seven straight" filled the air. Manager Les Patrick's just sat on bench and grinned. He said you ca nquote me as saying any, thing you want. I'm happy"
 A capacity crowd of 16,000, some of whom were reported as paying as high as $11 for a $3.3O ticket, cheered their favorites as the Rang CTS swept to a three goal lead in the first session on tallies by Keel ing, Patrick and Cooper. Tn the second frame Boucher drilled shot home, and in the third Patrick counted again. The Wings lone tally came in the. final period when Syd Howe accepted a double pass from Ebbie Goodfellow and Gordon Pettinger, to score at 17:12.
 Two fistfights enliyened the game. Ott Heller and GoodfelloW traded punches and drew five min ute major penalties in the third period, and a minute before the game ended Watson of the Rangers and Waffle Kilrea of the Wings swapped blows. Both were banned for roughing 1t.
 Much of the Ranger glory went to their rugged little goalie, Dave Kerr. who so far has yielded only two goals in 31S minutes of playoff hockey.

 New York.-Once upon . time, when April showers fell upon the just and unjust alike, man could safely say "Raincoats is raincoats" r. and go out and get one. But not nowadays, since style and function. al fitness have raised their heads in the damp domain of St. Swith- in. Raincoats have become not only classy, but classified.
 Take such a smart looking coat as 8 worsted gabardine, with fy- front and military collar. It is classified as "shower-proof" coat, which simply means that 1t has been processed to be water-repel- lant, and is perfectly suited to the needs of the man who spends his day in an once or one whose busi- ness takes him in and out of build ings to the extent that he is not ex- posed to the rain for long periods. In the same category come those collegiate favorites, the reversibleS, with their tweed shells and water proofed gabardine innards.
 Smartness Reigns
 Except with men compelled to traipse about in real pity -the-poor sailors" weather, this type of rain- coat is Q growing favorite because of its economical double-duty char actAr. The wOrsted uahardines are
