 Wants To Shift
 Then there is a matter of Larry Mullen, field captain of the wash ington Hills, who wants to be Wlth winner, and may shift to the Tribunes tomorrow if the league rules permit. A special meeting on the matter has been called for to- night to decide on the issue. League rules specify a player must be away from a team two weeks be- fore he can play with a different team.
 Johnny Jablonowski may start on the mound for the Tribes and again the Baldwin street team may sprout out with brand new twirler and one or two other players. The Brooklyns will probably depend upon Bill Basta and some strong hitting with men on base to win the ball game. Bill Stanton and Jerry Miller will umpire the fea- ture game with Stanton also on the Heart go and John Dum- schott in the middle of the Thomas club Washington Hill tilt

Goncalves started for Merriman, but lasted a short while, Ruffino taking up and pitching good ball though the Pa rochial teams captain and twirler, Mike Thompson who also bats in the cleanup position was much the best even though he failed to hit. Johnny Finn hit a home run off Ruffino to centerfield in the eighth inning, one of the few batters to reach the Merriman hurler, who has a no-hit game to his credit this setason.

BAER AND LOUIS
 BOUT NEAR SET

New York, June 25-(UP)-Pro- moter Mike Jacobs hopes to com- plete plans today for Joe Louis to defend his worlds heavyweight ti- tie against Maxie Baer in New York next September.
 He conferred with Baer and his manager, Ancil Hoffman, at Long Branch, N. J.
 "If Baer will come to reasonable terms, I'll make the match" Ja- cobs said. After all it will give Baer a chance to regain the title the same thing that Schmeling waited two years for. I guess he'll accept"
 Meantime, Schmeling continued treatment in Polyclinic hospital, for the back injury received when Louis knocked him out Wednesday night. Schmeling's manager, Joe Jacobs, laughed at reports Max would retire.
 "All he needs is a good rest, and he'll be fighting again in six months" Jacobs said.

The Civalta outfit have yet to win a game and will be out gunning for their first victory against the faltering Pontes who have won but one game to date. The Civalta have some fine hitters in Santora, Lacilla and Hinne. The Pontes on the other hand have the best team in the league but due to some of their individual stars who can't be told anything, don't seem to be like the champs of last year. If the team would wake up and play ball they are sure bet to cop their second straight championship. Coach Joe Rossi will send either Freddy Jaco- vino or Joe Foralopiano to the mound with Sonny" Rameo doing the catching. For the Civalta Lat tino will pitch with either DeLeor or Muzzi doing the catching. Man. ager Louis Rinaldi urges all Ponte players to be ready at 100 o'clock in front of the club rooms.

CRIMSON CREW BEST IN EAST
 RESULTS SHOW
Clean Sweep Yesterday Establishes Harvard
 OarSmen
By ROBERT WEBB

United Press Staff Correspondent)
 New London, Conn, June s. (UP)-Harvard oarsmen were hailed today as the greatest in the east after their clean sweep victory over Yale in the historic Thames regatta.
 The powerful Crimson varsity beat out Yale by a boatlength yesterday to become the only unbeaten eastern crew. The victory gave her berth beside unbeaten Washington, of the west, who defnds hr Poughkpsi west, who defends her Poughkeepsie championship Monday on the Hud- son.
 An upset victory at Poughkeepsie, eliminating the favored western eight, would establish Harvard as the leading crew of the nation Neither Harvard nor Yale row in the Hudson classic, but the Crim- son already has beaten all eastern entrants.
 Yesterdays victory was the last collegiate effort for four of Har- yards stalwarts, including the great stroke, James (Spike) Chace, one of three men in Crimson history to stroke three victories over the Eli. Unbeatne
 The Harvard freshman eight which whipped Yale by two and three quarter lengths, ended an un- defeated year while the jayvees beaten earlier, climaxed their sea- son with three quarter length vic- tory over an undefeated Yale crew major obstacle in the way of Har- yards first sweep since 1920. With all the rowing material at his command, Coach Tom Bolles, the former University of Washing ton oarsman and freshman coach hopes to develop another winning boatload next season. He lost only to the 1887 Navy varsity in two sea- sons.
 This years varsity defeated Yale Syracuse, Cornell, Columbia, Navy Pennsylvania. Rutgers,and M. I. T. Harvard's victory over unbeaten Yale came only after struggle al- though the winners led from the start.
 Coach Ed Leader, of Yale, had a bleak outlook. He lost four men by graduation including his stroke Howard Johnson, and Captain Lewis Johnson at number four. The other four men in the present varsity eight are sophomores who beat liar. yard as freshmen in 1897. Leader must rebuild with men who have never rowed a winning race agains Harvard.
