My professional position en- ables me to witness r world-shaking events."l 'r
 For example, take yesterdays world shaker = Because of the fact I stood on equal social footing with Joe Jacobs; because I knew Pete the Goat well enough to call him ! simply by his first name, Pete; because I am not awed and rendered unfit for duty by the personal mag netism of Mushky Jackson-be- cause of all of this, had the privi- lege of watching James J. Braddock, heavyweight champion of the world and perhaps of the universe, get himself served with a subpoena. You may have seen the grandeur of the Grand Canyon at dawn or the painted desert at sunset; you may be 8 Cooks tour addict and have visited the great wall of China, the Leaning Tower of Pisa and the Dionne quintuplets.
 Money can buy these things. But did you ever see the heavyweight champion of the world stand in the presence of United States marshall and two deputy United States mar shalls, and get himself rapped smartly on the wishbone with an envelope full of legal documents, setting forth that whereas and whereunder, and or inasmuch as and to wit, Madison Square Garden cor poration had dated the aforesaid Braddock to render his services in a prizefight with one Max Schmeling, on or about June 3, 1897, they want ed to know what the hell he intend- ed to do about it.
 Obviously, you haven't. But did.
 saw 190-pound Irishman, who loves home, wife and the kids, stand on his two feet before 50 photo graphers, bow, swallow, grin, twist his necktie, take a fighting stance with U. s. Marshall William P. Mo- Dermitt, and then shake hands with Marshall McDermitt to prove there there was no hard feeling.
 I saw Marshall McDermitt take one pose shaving hands with the champion, and another shaking hands with Joe Gould. I saw Joe Gould shave hands with Braddock and vice versa. And then I heard James J. Braddock tell how he had Out-witted subpoena servers from Miami to Newark, N. J., which should be hard for any subpoena server to take.
 After that there were more pie lures, including a photograph of a photograph of "Gunboat" Williams, Braddock's Sparring man who had the subpoena served on him by mis- take last Saturday. They had to take more pictures-of Braddock looking at the picture of "Gunboat" Williams and shaving his head and of Marshall McDermitt looking at picture of "Gunboat" Williams and shaking his head. Then somebody wanted to hunt up "Gunboat" Will Hams and get picture of him look ing at picture of Braddock and shaking his head.
 This is the stuff of which sports writing is made. I repeat, I saw it all. read the document which said that Braddock would have to show II psome place April 5 and show cause why he should not call off his fight with Joe Louis and keep his date with Max Schmeling. i It made lasting impression on me. guess 1t made lasting im- precision on Braddock, too, because he announced right after it was all over that he would start training at Stillman's gymnasium this week for the fight with Louis.

NAUCY LEADERS
 IN OVERTIME ] GO
Driscoll Hero of Game Against New Britain
 Stars

Naugatuck, March 30-In a fast and furious game in an overtime period of three minutes, the Naug- atuck "" Leaders recently won from the New Britain All Stars 39 to 37. The game had many excit- ing moments. The visitors started off with the first basket, but Dris- coll came through with 8 double header to make a 4 to 2 lead early in the game. The Leaders had it fairly their own way and at the end of the half held the enormous lead of 21 to 6. But the New Britain club got into a huddle and in less than 6 minutes crawled to 21 points with the Leaders making but 2 baskets. A couple of fouls were made by BorSelle and one by Dooman to make the score 25 to 24 with the Leaders one point ahead.
 B0rselle Features
 BorSelle again came through with a double header putting his team in the lead 28 to 25, and the Lead CTS then called time out to see what was wrong. When play was resumed DriScoll and Sweeney came through with one apiece to take the lead again at 29 to 28, but number 10, (Borselle) followed up his miss to make it 30 to 29. The score kept changing leads and at the end of the required time 36 to 36 was marked on the score board. Borselle had several free tries but made only one while Driscoll came through with the winning points.

 Since Sudden Yen For Cigars
By ERNEST BARCELLA

United Press Staff C0rreSpOndent)
 Boston, March 3O-(UP)-Letting the sports chips fall where they may:
 { The Anti Tobacco league probably will crack down on us for mention ing this. but Joseph Edward Cro- min, boy boss of the gold-plated Boston Red Sox, has been doing a whale of job at bat and afield since he starte dusing cigars. .Fris- co Joe never smoked the weeds un- til the curretn spring training trip.
 All nicotine aside, Cigars" Cro- min has pounded citrus circuit chucking for home run, two triples and two singles in 12 times at bat :. and, as g stand-in for Shoorstop Eric McNair, Joe has f1elded his po- sition faultlessly. Maybe we're about to witness 8 Cronin resurrec- tion...
 While he was with the Washing ton Senators, Joe was terror both at the plate and in the field. But since Tom Yawkey peeled off $250,- GOO to bring the genial young man. ager to Boston tow years ago, Cro- nin's playing hasn't exactly burned up the league. For one thing, he was trying too hard to make good :. Then, too, injuries cramped his style :. First there was that cracked wrist he got in his last month with the Senators. And last year he started off by breaking thumb.
 Now that the pennant pressure is of, his young shoulders and the in- juries have healed, Joe may go to town in g big way. we hopes..
 eLawrence's Andy Callahan may get . crack at Welterweight Cham plan Barney Ross this summer. {. It aall depends on whether Boston pro- moters can lure Ross here. Any way, the thing is in the fire and if the bout pans out, it'lll be held at one of the local ball parks.
 Now don't go looking for a bookie right away, but our money (hawD is on the New York Rangers to cap- ture the Stanley cup. The Mont real Maroons, whom the Rangers will meet in the seIni-finals, didn't look too terrific ineliminat ting the Boston Bruins And the favored Detroit Red Wings will be seriously hapdi- capped by the loss of Goalie Norm Smith. Come on youse Rangersl.
 Maybe the wish is father to the thought. or maybe it's because we have mania for end-o-the-limb sitting. But we also like the looks of the Springfield Indians in the 1nt-Am league playoffs.
 Walter Young of Canada, who placed second to Arlington Johnny Kelley in the 20-mile Medford run 10 days ago, is pretty serious about winning the B. A. A. marathon. So serious, in fact, that he has re- xaained here to train for the April 19 classic. And if anybody stands . good chance of beating Kelley in the B. A. A. run it's this same MT. Xoung...

PERRY AND VINES
 AT NEW HAVEN

New Haven, March 30-With his world supremacy threatened and the financial emoluments it represents seriously threatened by Fred Perry's recent winning streak, Ellsworth Vines, worlds professional tennis champion, is counting heavily on his New Haven Arena appearance on Wednesday night, April 2, to keep in front of the sensational British star.
 When Vines and Perry started their 56-match tennis tour for the pro championship the experts picked Vines by 8 margin of Al. However, Perry's early lead has proven too much for the Californian to overcome and the best he has been able to do is to keep in front by two-match margin.
