'LONDOS, BRUINS
mat TILT OPENS
OUTDOORSEASON
By BOB ADDIE

Uncle Joe Turner will apply the
hypodermic to his Sagging wreS-
ting business tonight when he
takes his troupe outdoors in Crit
fifth Stadium for the first venti-
lated show Of the season.
Occupying the feature role will
be the Gorgeous Greek" Jimmy
lLondos, who meets the current
matinee idol, Bobby Bruins OF
Chicago.
We, who have stuck to Uncle
Joe's stock company in the narrow
confines of his Fourteenth Street
bandbox, view with some nostalgia
the transfer of activities to the
great outdoors.
HOME ON THE RANGE
Time was when the customer in
the farthest section Of the Arena
could reach over and Diff his pet
peeve in the puSS. We had all just
about become accustomed to the
Arenas range and we could pick
off the noble athletes with hand
full of peanuts at 40 PAGES.
The last time Londos showed
here he appeared against DR.. John
"Dropkick" Murphy, the darling of
the winter season. That match
ended rather abruptly when the
doctor applied his own anaesthetic
by catapulting through the ropes
and landing on his conk. Since
that time, LondoS has been cam
paigning mostly on the Pacific
Coast, and his appearance there
has had a remarkable regeneration
for the faltering mat game.
Turner hopes the same situation
will occur here. We understand
the pass-holderS, relatives and
cops have outnumbered the paying
portion of the citizenry by an
alarming margin the past few
weeks and the wolf is so close to
the door, Joe will either have to-
feed him or put the wolf in a
headline spot on one of his mat
bills.
NEW HERO
Bruins is the handsomely pro-
portioned young man who is
enthusiastically perfect-from a
physical standpoint-and just the
man to take over the role of hero
in Mr.. Turner's weekly dramas Of
right VS.. might.
The Chicago boy first showed
here in a minor role against Or
vile Brown. That bout ended in a
draw. The next time the boys
WreStled for over an hour and
managed to knock each other out.
Brown won that one. Last week,
Bruins tied the series and earned
this shot at IondoS.
The Greek wants to regain the
title he once held and is leaving
no opponent unturned in his de-
sire to get to the top. The cham
pionship, such as it is, is current
ly claimed by Bronko NagurSkl
and Steve Casey who are running
one-two in the race for the title.
The Seventh Street residents
tonight probably will be scared
stiff about 9 o'clock when they
hear strange war Whoops. With
our customary desire to give Serv-
ice to our customers, we'll tip you
off that the yells will be coming
from that old warrior, Chief Thun-
derbird, who engages Rudy Kay
in one Of the supporting bouts.
Fred Grobmier, who used to
play a home-and-ho series with
LondoS, has been matched with
Boris Demitroff in the Semifinal.
other bouts will show OrVille
Brown against Frenchy LaRue and
Ivan Vacturoff against Jake Pat
terSon.

TWO-TITLE FIGHT

Ambers is booked to fight Arm
strong, who took the welterweight
crown away from Barney Ross
Tuesday, in New York in July
under the promotion of Mike
Jacobs, who staged the Ross-Arm-
strong battle.
Lou feels pretty confident about
whipping Armstrong.
Sure I can beat him." he
said. He's just a club fighter,
that's all. Throws a lot Of
punches, but I throw quite a
few myself.
Armstrong is good; amt no
doubt about it, but I'm anxious
to fight him. I've had my
toughest scraps from so-called
mugs. They all got two arms
and two legs, and that's all I
had when I woke UP this
morning.
I'm tickled to death he beat
Ross. I like Barney all right,
but I like Lou Ambers a little
better; and think Lou Ambers,
lightweight and welterweight
champ sounds better than Am
bers the lightweight champ.
It mean if Armstrong had lost
we'd only be fighting for the
135-pound title. AS it is, it's q
twotitle fight"
HE'S NOT WORRIED
AS Ambers lay on the rubbing
table getting worked over by train
ers, someone asked him If he was
worried.
"Worried?" he snorted. Say,
let him worry. I licked Pedro
Montanez last year, and he was
another ring phenom, wasn't

Ambers will battle Arizmendi
here Tuesday night at Olympic

where Armstrong got his fiStic

He considers the fight a breeze
and calls it his tune-up battle for

'that I'll be ready as soon as
Henry is"

LABOR PEACE IN
 FLINT, MICHIGAN
President Homer Martin of United Auto Workers
 Union Stops Strikes

Flint. Mich, April 20-(UP)-An order from President Homer Martin of the United Automobile Workers Union restored labor peace in Flint today, but new strike threats ham, pers the truce. Settlement of labor dispute which paralyzed production in Fisher body plant No. and on the Buick assembly line was reach ed at Martins direction. He called off a union dues collection drive which General Motors officials said prompted them to close the Fisher plant. Bucks final assembly line was closed because of a shortage of Fisher built bodies. More than 5000 employees were left idle during the two-day shutdown.
 Buick Resumes Work
 Buick resumed production this morning and Fisher prepared to re- open tomorrow. Meanwhile JAW members in Buick and Chevrolet plants case the first ballots in a strike vote. The balloting will con- tinue until Saturday. Union officials who approved the strike vote, charge Buick and Chevrolet arrangements with discrimination and failure to abide by seniority provisions of a contract signed with the JAW after the 44-day General Motors sit-down strike last spring. That labor con- troversy was marked by rioting end ed only national guard occupa- tion. The Fisher plant was closed when company officials announced the production schedule was dis rupted because JAW pickets barred 400 workers from the factory. Mar tin said only AT of Fishers 3,700 employees were turned back at the gates.
 Martin Announcement
 In ordering Flint union officers to call off the pickets, Martin announc- ed: The union had decided to give General Motors no further excuse for closing it's plants and throwing men out of work" Possibility of further disturbances at the Fisher plant was seen in the reaction of Henry Wilson, chairman of the Fisher local, to Martins orders. He said the union might carry on the campaign with reverse English" l A showdown, cutting production by 20 per cent, was reported by JAW officials in the Kelsey Hayes Wheel Company plant in Detroit. The action was taken, they said, in

 While 76 and " degrees have been recorded on various ther- mometers several times this spring, todays heat establishes a spring record for some years. A breeze kept the heat from being uncom- fortable but many Waterburians shed coats and, for the first time in 1888, numerous office workers shed even their suit coats.
 Demand for fishing licenses con- tinued at the office of Town Clerk Mrs. Mary c. Kilmartin and some dog owners called to obtain the permits which they must have before the first of next month, or undergo penalty.

Boston, April 20-UP)-Attacks by subversive "iSms" on American democracy must be met by educa- ton, according to Secretary of War Harry H. Woodring.
 He told the Patriots day dinner of the Knights of Columbus last night that partisan bias and petty prejudices must be abandoned in a cooperative fight to return prosper ity "in the American way (with) no inclination to embrace alien doc trines" as remedies.
 Under the recovery movement conditions steadily improved until five months ago when a serious set back occurred" Woodring said.
 "Once again important steps must be undertaken to facilitate recov- cry. This recovery must be accom- plished in the American way. There must be no deviation from the es- sential democracy of our republic. There must be no inclination to embrace alien doctrines. Fascism and communism have no place in free America"
 Nation Will Advance
 He believed the nation would con- tiaue to advance under the free en- ttrprise of the capitalistic system which has brought happiness and prosperity to our people throughout our history"
 Patriots seek no dictatorship either O. an individual or of the masses, Woodring said.

NATIONS NOT TO
 BE MADE KNOWN

Washington, April 20-(UP) - President Roosevelt appeared today to have discarded plan for the United States to name formally the nations it considers to have violated treaties to which it is signatory. While a copy of house resolution of Rep. Byron Scott, D., Cal. cal- ling for such information, was be- ing sent to the state department MT. Roosevelt was describing Italy as peaceful negotiator" of Inter- national problems. Italy was one of three nations which, 1t was gen. orally believed, the Scott resolution would cause Secretary of State Cor dell Hull to name as treaty violators
 The president indirectly praised Italy for amicably settling her diff ficulties with Great Britain by giv- ing this governments blessing to the recently concluded Anglo-1tal- ian treaty.
