Recent workouts of the high school basketball squad indicate trouble for the Federals this ev- ening. A strong attack based on the floor work of Willoya and the towering reach of Ost may upset the Federals, who must win the second game in the second half, if at all, due to the superior con dition of the High School boys.
 The Nome Women have an ex- cellent chance to upset the High School team tonight in the base ball game. A definite Huskiette lat-doWn has been evident since their defeat by the Alaskans.
 The Blazers will not appear again this season having disband ed their team. This leaves the Alaskans with clear record of two games won and third ere dited to them by default.
 Tonight's game will determine second spot. Both the Huskiettes and Nome Women have won one game and lost one.
 Basket ball is a faster game than ever. This year the center jump will be abolished except at the beginning of the halves and fans who like action will be pleas ed with the faster game.
 The basketball game will start at 7:3O and the baseball game at 8:3O o'clock at the school gym.

LEAGUE GROUP

Diamonds at New Stadium Is PrOblem-Parks
 Loop Meets

Indications that a representative committee, probably headed by President Ed Fitzpatrick of the City Amateur league will wait upon city officials, including Mayor Frank Hayes, in regard to discussion of new baseball diamonds at the muni- cIpal stadium, were strong today, prior to this evenings meeting of managers of the c. A. L. at central Y. M. c. A. starting at o'clock Empires applications will also be presented and a general discus sion of the season ahead to be held

HAWKS [ TO 5
 OVER TORONTO Chicago Club May Clinch Seasons Greatest Come
 back Tonight

Chicago( April 1z.-CUP)-Chi- cago's Blackhawks, unorthodox mir acie team of the National Hockey league, were seven to five favorites to-day to climax the years greatest sports comeback by regaining the world championship in the fourth game of the Stanley cup finals against Toronto's Maple Leafs. Odds were even higher that the game will be the toughest of the cup playof.
 All through the final series bitter quarrels between the players and managers have broken out. A dis tinctly partisan crowd, which may exceed the 18,469 that saw Chicago's Sunday victory at the Stadium, will add to the frenzy.
 There was little reason to favor the Hawks, except that they don't know when they're beaten. They have fought with their backs to the wall in every series and have come from behind to win both their games from Toronto. Commanding the edge for the first time this season, they now are just as unpredictable.
 If the Maple Leafs can solve the Hawks crashing style of play which apparently is no style at all, they can square the series at two games each tonight and return to their home ice at Toronto for the fifth and deciding game.

Worcester Mass, April 12 2- The Boston A. A. Marathon is anybody's race. TWenty-six miles is a long way and anything's likely to happen to even the best runners.
 I'd prefer to wait until after the race to see where I'm going to fin- ish, hate to blow off false steam Johnny Kelley is great runner and so are Leslie PaWson and Gerard Cote. l guess those three are the best in the race.
 Coming Along
 I'm late in starting my training but a late start is better than none at all. l have run six, eight and ten miles twice. And a week ago Friday, ran 16. should be in good shape by the nineteenth.

ARLINGTON MAY 1 GET BIG RACE
Whitney Expected to Kill Chances of BelmOnt'S
 Staging It

New York, April 12-(UP)-The directors of the Westchester Racing association meet today to decide whether Belmont Park will offer a $100,000 purse for 8 match race be- tween War Admiral and Seabiscuit.
 Racing followers offered odds that the directors would not make the offer. If they don't the match probably will go to Chicago's Arr lington track which already has of- fered S1OO,000 for such race.
 Joseph E. Widener, president of the association, who enthusiastically supported the efforts of Herbert Bayard SWope, chairman of the New York racing commission, to make the match for Belmont has been ill and may not be able to at- tend. He has authorized Swope to act for him.
 Looks Bad
 But Widener is only one of seven directors and from the start of ne- gotiations he made it clear that the proposition depended upon the ap- proval of c. V. Whitney, one of Belmont's largest stockholders. The other directors are John Hay Whit ney, Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, John E. Cowdin, Henry w. Bull and George H. Bull.
 c. V. Whitney was fishing in the south when the subject was brought to his attention, and he immedi- ately asked Widener to call a direc- tors meeting. He disapproves of such large purses, and is not ex- pected to change his attitude. The match also might lessen interest in Belmont's gold cup event on Oc- tober 30.
 If the race goes to Chicago, it may be three-horse affair and include Maxwell Towards Stage hand conqueror of Seabiscuit in the Santa Anita handicap. The Ar lington Jockey club reserved the right to include the three year old if Stanghand won the Kentucky Derby. It would be weight-for- age handicap with Stagehand car- rying only IA pounds to 126 for the four year old War Admiral and five year old Seabiscuit.

year he could have made nice one handed catch. To sharpen his eye I suggest that fans stand in the center of their best rugs and have some one toss them bottles of ink. Peanuts will be a cinch after that.
 The hot dog presents another problem. After a hot dogless five months the stomach should be gent ly prepared for the reception of this mixture of hot mustard, cold roll and warm dog. Taken suddenly 1t will do the same thing to you that the apple did to Snow White. To get ready for the season l suggest that twice day you eat a child's tennis shoe parboiled in hot water. The danger of this is that the ian might not want to go back to hot dogs.
 No fan is ready for the opening of the season until he has acquaint- ed himself with the background of new umpires. It is impossible to mercilessly taunt a man unless one is thoroughly familiar with his weaknesses. To call an umpire sin- ply blind thieving bum when you might have called him wife steal ing arsonist, Is simply a waste Of time.
 Opening day ceremonies offer an unique problem to the fan. He was bored on opening day last year but not as badly as he will be bored this year because last year was only the fifteenth time he had seen the same ceremony. This year will be the sixteenth time he has seen some prominent citizen throw out the first ball, while an inferior band plays sepulchral march and the players march self consciously out of step to the centerfield flag pole. To prepare for this fan must practice being bored without going to sleep. Being Scotch Irish, I man. age this by holding a nickle in my mouth while watching the cere- mony.

All Set on Line-Yale Coach Plans Friday
 Scrimmage

New Haven, Conn, April 12-(UP) Creation of a new backfield Wor- ried coach Ducky Pond more than anything else today as the second day of spring football training open- ed at Yale University.
 "'rhe backfield presents our great est problem" coach Pond said as he put squad of 60 through work out on fundamentals.
 "The prospects for this season are very uncertain"
 Spring training opened yesterday Ten first-string men from the 1887 eleven turned out, but none of them were in last years hard-driving backfield.

 The situation on the line, Pond said, is excellent. Only one new man is needed, a guard.

STAR MODEST AS TO HIS CHANGES
Kyriakides, Athens, Holds Record in Native Land;
 Brought Olive Branch
By ROBERT WEBB United Press Staff COrrespOndent)

(Un1teU freSS StaII OOTrcSpOnucHS)
 Boston April 12-(UP)-Stelios Kyriakides of Athens, 28-year-old Greek marathon champion who rates as the most dangerous overseas threat in the 42-year history of the Boston A. A. marathon, today said he would run planned race" in the classic grind a week hence.
 The affable, brown n-skinned Greek, who embarked on track career at Cyprus in 1883 because a doctor said he needed added physical de- velopment. will cover each of the first B miles in six minutes and 10 seconds.
 "If I feel good during the last three miles," he said, T will increase the pace. gradually in the hope of bettering my own marathon record of hours and 4O minutes, which I made in London last July in the British A. A. championship" Modest
 Kyriakides, who arrived in Bos- ton nine uays ago to start training for the 26-mile 385-yard Patriots Day plod. talks modestly of his chances in what the Greeks term "the greatest race in the world" T would be pleased to win," he smiled, but will be satisfied to finish among the first half dozen. A representative of Greece has never won the race although Peter Triv- oulides, a Greek living in New York, won in 1920. will give my best for my nation"
 Kyriakides holds the record of 2 hours and 49 minutes for the mara thon to Athens course He thinks the Greek race is more testing than the Hopkinton to Boston run be- cause it leads the runners over three mountains while the B. A. A. route is comparatively flat.
 Although he will not run over the entire course until the day of the race, Kyriakides has been training intensively since his arrival in Bos- ton. Yesterday he ran 18 1-2 miles ] of the course. Thursday he circled the quarter-mile cinder track at Harvard 50 times.
 In the 1886 Olympic marathon at Berlin, Kyriakides defeated Johnny Kelley of Arlington, Mass, and FL lison (Tarzan) Brown of Alton, R. l., two former winners of the Bos- ton A. A. race. Kyriakides finished 11th but believes he should have done better because he was fresh at the end.
 A bill collector for an electric company in Athens, Kyriakides weighs 139 and stands five feet six He is engaged to be married after he finishes four months of compul- sorry military service in Greece on his return from America.
 Kyriakides brought an olive branch wreath fro mAthens for the B. A. A. winner but that doesn't feel the veteran marathon runners. They know that the smiling little Greek runner came to this country be- cause he thinks he can win the race

 Jacksonville, Fla, April 12. (UP)- In a week or so the baseball season opens. We know the players are fit and ready for the long campaign. They have been here in Florida, i'll California, in Louisiana or in other warm climes beautifying their biceps, conditioning their calves and generally getting themselves into what the Mayo Brothers Ike to speak of as "the pink"
 But what about the baseball fans? What sort of shape are they in? They have been to no training camps and will start the season en- tirely out of condition. That is, un-- less they take my advice and spend these last few days preparing them selves for the rigors of attending baseball games.
 Take an average fan; he'll go out to that first baseball game and yell to the boy for a bag of peanuts. The boy will throw the peanuts to him from at least ten rows away and he will miss the bag, thereby spilling four or five of the peanuts. Now a man can't afford to lose that many peanuts out of a bag he buys at a baseball game because there are only eleven in the sack to begin with. At the end of the season last
