Also, 1t was UNDERSTOOD the Al
torney General gave Mr.. Roosevelt
an estimate of the effect his re-
cent tour of Maryland was having
on the bitter primary contest
there between anti-New Deal Sen
ator Millard F.. Tydings and Rep
resentative David j. Lewis.
Following Cummings departure
summer White House aides pre-
dicted the vote in the Free State
would be extremely close as a re-
suit of the Presidents Labor Day
appeal for Lewis election.
Cummings told reporters that
"the general outlook appears
good" in his home State of Con-
'necticut, but refused to elaborate
on that statement.
CONFERS ON NYA
After his talk with Cummings,
the President motored over to his
Valkill cottage for a conference
on National Youth AdminiStra-
ton problems with Aubrey Will
liams and Charles TauSsig.
The President was reported to
be giving close consideration to
the makeup Of the Democratic
ticket in the coming New York
elections.
There were definite indications
that the President was being urged
to join in a movement again to
draft Gov. Herbert H. Lehman to
succeed himself.
New York Democrats expect the
Republicans will put Prosecutor
Thomas E. Dewey up for governor
Those close to the public pulse
are reporting to headquarters that
only Lehman can beat Dewey.

|NEWELL'S POLL.
GRANTS LEWIS.
But ONE COUNTY.
Lists Only Washington
For Tydings' Foe
BY w. A. s. DOUGLAS

BALTIM Sept. 8.-Mr
James A. Newell of this city, &C
counted one of the shrewdest po
litical reporters in Maryland as
we'll as one of the most reliable OF
election forecasters in the country
today reached a point in his poll
of the % counties of the State
and the six legislative districts Of
Baltimore where he tossed his hat
in the air and announced Joy
ouSly:
"Only Washington county is for
Lewis"
REALLY HELPS TYDINGS
This is the 25th day of Mr.
Newell'S State poll, conducted with
the aid of a corps of Stenogra-
pliers, telephone girls and adding
machine operators. There was at
the start, after the first PreSiden-
tial announcement hat David
Lewis was the Administration can
didate to unSeat Senator Millard
Tydings, an almost general trend
to the former.
But this veered soon after and
Mr.. Roosevelt's speech was ex-
pected to bring the wind back to
"Davey" Lewis's sails. That it did
not has caused both joy and sur
prise to Mr.. Newell. He looked
for the Lewis upturn and then,
as before, a slide back. The new
reports, as compiled into the 25th
day, seem to show that the speech
has helped the wrong manor
the man against whom it was di-
rected.
VICTORY BY 100 VOTES
Washington county-next door
to Allegany county, Lewis home,
which Newell's poll now shows for
TydingS-haS seven votes in the
nominating convention which fol-
lows the popular vote. In all
there are 149 votes in this conven-
tion, rs being necessary for choice.
Newell admits that is too good to
last, but forecasts the sitting
Senator's victory by more than
100 votes.
Mr.. Newell ties Garrett county,
in the extreme western part of the
State, which has four votes in the
convention.
EASTERN SHORE SOLID
He points out that Wicomico
county, Of which Salisbury is the
seat and which started out in the
Lewis column, has now swung to
Tydings, thereby making the nine
counties of the Eastern shore
where the President staged his
"invaSion'-a unit for Tydings.
Mr.. Newell, claiming there is nc
longer sport" in the Lewis-Tyd
ings race, has turned for real rec
reation to the Jackson o Conol
battle. He says it is a nip and
tuck affair for the governorShir
between the Mayor Of Baltimore
and the Attorney General oi
Maryland. The swing, slight a:
it is, goes in favor of jackson to
day. The mayor began by trail
ing his chief opponent in all the
six legislative districts Of Balti
more, but he is now, according tx
Newell, leading him in five.

GROUP OF 30. TO
 PLAY SEVERAL MATCHES SOON
Luddy Chosen Head of New High School Sport
 Venture
BY JOHN A. CLUNEY

Not only baseball and track will be continued at Crosby High school as part of the spring sports pro- gram, but an extra activity for athletes has been brought into the limelight, with the formation of a Crosby High Golf Club, already consisting of about 30 students and headed by Pete Luddy, who is aided by Harry Stover, Bob Schumway, Henry Minor and Norman Boucher, Joseph Feeney, popular teacher, has agreed to serve as faculty ad- visor.
 To Pay Their Way
 AS in the case of baseball and track, school authorities frowned upon the formation of a golf club or teams, due to possible financial obligations, but when it was ex- plained that the boys would form club and pay dues for member ship, the money to be used for pur- chase of golf balls and minor equip ment, the idea received the Ok. of Principal Louis Thibodeau. Each student has or will furnish his own clubs, shoes and other apparel, with intramural matches being the only activity scheduled for the present, actual play to start after the Easter holidays.
 Ambitious
 Later in the season 1t Is hoped to select a Crosby golf squad of six or eight students to compete on an interscholastic basis with other high school teams of the state, notably Harding of Bridgeport, Weaver of Hartford, Bulkeley of New London, and others, where the devot-dig- ging sport is sponsored on com petitive bases.
 Crosby players hope to use the Chase and Municipal courses locally, with an occasional trip to Water town or the Waterbury Country Club, if arrangements can be made with directors of those private tn- stitutions. Norman Boucher, man. ager of the team that will be event. ually selected has planned to book some outstanding events for the new Crosby sport squad.
 So that the 30 players may be classified and rated on handicap basis tournament will be held later in the month. Some of the better players are believed to be Roger Cooke, former Roxbury stu dent, Norman Boucher, Pete Luddy, Harry Stover and Henry Minor.

 Toronto, Ont, April 8. - Although am probably the smallest runner in the B.A.A. marathon and only 21 years old, expect to win the race.
 have been running only two years and last year I had a pretty good record, finishing fifth in the B.A.A. marathon and third in the Canadian marathon.
 gained a lot of experience run ming in the B.A.A. race last year. I was 32nd at South Birmingham, 24th at Wellesley, 18th at Wood- land Park, 9th at Lake Street, and fifth at the finish, only ten minutes behind Young.
 In 1887, broke the record for the Brampton to Toronto 23-mile run by one minute. This year, I broke my 1897 record by 16 min- utes. I was never in better shape.
 Promising
 My trainer, Bob Stewart, has com- peted in the B.A.A. marathon sev- eral times and he thinks I have a good chance to win. He says I am the smoothest little runner he has ever seen. I am determined to ful- fill the promises he has made about me.
 am a Scotch Canadian, born in Scotland in 1916. work in an office here. I am five feet four inches tall and weigh 116 pounds. I have been running with my trainer since January. I think Johnny Kelley and Gerard Cote are the men to beat, but I am sure I have the speed and courage to whip both of them.
 Boston, April 8-(UP)-Nine more entries for the Boston A. A. marathon, three of them from across the border, indicate the largest delegation of Canadian, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland runners in several years will com- pete in the 42nd annual Patriots Day race.
 Denis Desautels, Les Occurs, Joy jus, Montreal; Richard Beagley, Transport, N. S.; and Bob Stewart, Gladstone A. C., Toronto, swelled the list of British Empire runners.
 Other entries received yesterday were those of Fred Brown, North Medford Club; William Cappoci, Needham Club; Edward Sienkie- wicz, Amesbury; James McCafferty, Woburn; William Simons, United Shoe; and Bruno Mazzeo, Rockland, Me.

Boston Sports
 Salad
By ROBERT WEBB

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Boston, April 8-(UP)-Letting the sports chips fall where they may:
 San Francisco wants the 1889 na- tional amateur boxing champion ships but Boston, as usual, will prob ably again be selected. Only five times since 1907 have the titles been decided anywher. else. Never in the history of the A. A. U. tourna- ment have the championships gone to the west coast.
 Where are you going to be April 30," is the popular greeting among the horseplayers these days. April 30 is opening day at Suffolk Downs and most everyone who plays the ponies very much plans to be there. Several hundred horses are on hand and working out with the New England season only three weeks off.
 Steaming
 Hockey followers aren't paying much attention to Tiny Thompson's threats to turn in lis Bruins uni form .. It wasn't so long ago that Thompson wouldn't even speak to Art Ross because the Bruins mana ger suggested carrying a spare goalie
 Thompson was probably @ little dispondent that the Bruins were beaten three straight by the Leafs .. It would be more difficult to keep Thompson out of hockey than it would to prevent 49-year-old Clar- ence De Mar from running in the approaching Boston A. A. mara thon.
 And LOW they're referring to Vince DiMaggio, Boston Bees cen- ter fielder, as brother of the hold out" Vince, by the way, is the only Bees outfielder who doesn't have to worry about his job. Manager Casey Stengel hasn't a single player who can cover that big center field position like the gallop- ing greyhound.
 Stengel is pleased with the way Elbie Fletcher's hitting has i'm proved since Max West, the hard hitting outf1elder from the west coast, was measured for a first base mans glove. One of Casey'S ma jor problems is where to use the most promising rookie to wear the Boston National League uniform in two seasons.
 Cubs to Win
 Some time when you have time to wrestle with a sporting problem try to pick the pennant winner in the National League. There doesn't seem to be good team in the lot. But this corner will stick with the Cubs despite the fact that plenty of the experts like the Giants
 One thing the bookmakers have overlooked, apparently, is the Bos- ton A. A. marathon. Why doesn't some enterprising pricemaker lay odds aganist the best 20 contenders in the field? .. Perhaps the most likely winner among the long shots would be Duncan McCallum, the little Scotchman, who finished with such rush in last years race.
 Stylianos Kyriakides, the Greek marathon champion, looms as the outstanding foreign threat in the April 18th classic. The 28-year- old runner certainly didn't come 5O0( miles just to present the winne, with 8 wreath of laurel picked or the hills of Athens.

ISWIMINC STARS
 START ASSAULT
 ON WORLD MARKS
Group of 2l to Splash at Weismuller'S 1O0-Yard
 Record Since 1927
BY TOMMY DIVINE r,,s4od pros1 Staff .CnrreSnNndentl

United Press stan COrreSpOnuchD
 Columbus, O., April 8.-(UP.- Another assault on the most fragile of sports records started today when 92 aquatic stars began com petition in the annual National A. A. U. swimming championships.
 Three world indoor record holders were among the competitors entered in the two-day meet at Ohio State University's natatorium. They were: Adolph Kiefer of Texas in the 15O yard backstroke; John Higgins of Ohio State in the 300 yard individ- ual medley; and Jack Kasley of Michigan in the 220 yard breast stroke.
 Going Up.
 As proof of the instability Of swimming records, experts pointed to the fact that seven of the eight world marks the aquatic aces will attempt to beat, had been establish ed since 1885.
 The only time-tested record on the books is the 100 yard free style mark of 51 seconds, set by the peer less Johnny Weismuller in 1927.
 Weismuller's mark likely will be subjected to its most serious threat as the 100 yard free style event has drawn a star-studded field of 2l. Included are: Peter Flick of the New York A. C., the defending champion; Al Kirar of Michigan, the intercollegiate king: Charles G. Hutter, Jr., Harvard ace; Otto Jaretz of Chicago; and Kiefer.
 Six Champions
 In addition to Flick, five other 1887 titlists seek to retain cham pionships. They are: Hutter in the 220 yard free style; Tom Haynie of Michigan in the 800 yard free style: John Higgins of Ohio State in the 220 yard breast stroke, and 300 yard individual medley; and Al Patnik of Ohio State in the low and high board diving events.
 Of this group only Patnik was favored to repeat. Patnik recently took both the low and high board intercollegiate championships and compiled the greatest point total in history as he scored his double"
 Ralph Flanagan of the Miami (Fla.) Biltmore club, was the only other choice to win two events. The 20-year-old Floridan, who holds 39 national and six worlds records, was entered in the 200 and 500 yard free style events.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-04-08

in my transcontinental sports wan- derings of the past six months, I didn't talk to sports page reader who wasn't vitally interested in find- ing out which was the better horse, which the better man. I didn't meet a person who didn't have very de- cided opinion of his own on the merits of the parties concerned, which is the important betting angle.
 For every man who thought Sea- biscuits better time proved he was tops on the turf, there was a man who pointed to the Admirals all- winning record and said you couldn't go past it. Send these two to the post and all records for wag- ering on a match race will be smashed to smithereens. But if you want to hear some high-class ar- guing just travel around and take a definite stand on either Louis or Schmeling. There must be fully 25,- OO0,O ,O00 citizens in this country who will drop whatever they are doing to give their reasons why Schmeling is a cinch to knock Joe out in six or seven rounds this time, or why Louis can't miss evening things up with 8 left hook or 8 right hand punch.
 All Bettors
 The two schools are just about equally divided in numbers. When and if these two chaps step in the ring there won't be enough non- bettors in these United States to make a fourth at bridge. The wag- ering mark established by the sec- ond Dempsey-Tunney fight (and that was no penny ante scrap) will go by the boards. To cause heavy wagering, a fight must have many angles. Well, Louis and Schmeling present more angles than Mae West photographed against background of Chinese pagodas. On Schmel- ing's side there are the angles of experience, stamina, courage, con- dition,e and past performance, to name few. On Louis side one can list a devastating punch, increased ring craft, youth, continued activ- ity, and 8 desire for revenge.
 Add to these the rumors that al- ways surruond heavyweight fight. Racial conflict, pride, and all the others, and you have not only a natural, but a natural natural.
 In case you would like to make an early parlay on the two events, my choices are Seabiscuit over Louis at mile and 8 quarter, and Schmeling over War Admiral, pro- vided Schmeling is given the first punch.
