Worcester Wallopers On Hand Here Tonight
WILEY OUTFITS CROSBY. LOSES Wildcat Rally in Final ln- ming Falls Short By
 5=4 Count

A four run lead in the final in- ming stood Crosby in good stead and proved just enough for a three run Wilby rally was just short of extra innings, Crosby winning over Wilby 5 to 4 for the second victory of the season over the Wildcats, thereby carrying away the city high school championships honors, mythical though they are. Most of the SCOT ing was done in the late innings Crosby scoring one or more runs in the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth innings, while Wilby, held to lone runs in the second, put on three run spludge in the ninth, getting a total of 12 hits off Pinky Woods three by Stuart while Wilby's Frank Fahy gave up g hits, Adducci, Margolis and Lombardo getting six hits between them. Most of the hitting off Woods delivery came within the first six innings as he frightened up nicely in the final frames, aside from the near-fatal ninth, when Mcfarland ran to sec- ond base, already occupied, for an out which gave Wilby that much less chance to win, the hard way.

DEMPSEY 'L|KES' | L0UIS BUT HAS
 BIG IF READY
Champ Must C om e Out Fighting to Win Early;
 Sale Passes $5OO,0OO
By LESLIE AVERY

By LESLIE AVERY
 United Press Staff Correspondent
 New York, June 16.-(UP)-Jack Dempsey said today that he "fa- vored" Joe Louis to beat Max Schmeling in their heavyweight title fight Wednesday night and the odds on the Detroit Brown Bomber i'm mediately scared from 7-5 to 2-1.
 I'm not picking anybody" Demp- sey said. This is tough fight to f1gure-but I favor Louis."
 Reasoning
 The one-time Manassa Mauler likes Louis chances because-"He's s younger, stronger, and I figure he will fight different kind of bat tie from the one two years ago when Schmeling knocked him out"
 He pointed out, however, that if Louis didn't go into the fight throwing punches" he'd probably get knocked out again. And that's why I'm not picking anybody" Jack said. T can't be certain how Joe will fightin the early rounds. That is when this fight is going to be decided. Schmeling is slow starter, and if Joe doesn't knock him groggy in hurry, Maxie will warm up and win."
 Dempsey's favorable comment fol- lowed those of Gene Tunney, and Jim Braddock, who unqualifiedly picked Joe to win by a knockout. It produced a flood of money against Schmelings chances but the 2-1 prices still had a long way to go to the 10-1 and 12-1 odds quoted against Schmeling two years 'ago.
 Legs Important
 Dempsey said he was depending on reports coming from fellows who know their stuff" at both camps, and that he was convinced Schmeling is slower in his reactions and weaker in his legs than he was in 1886.
 Louis has improved in his box ing" Jack said, but his best de- fense still is slam-bang offense. I always favor a young man over an old man because know from my own experience that fighters legs go with the years, and legs are all- important. You have to hit off those legs, and when they weaken, your punch loses its dynamite. You body-feint from those legs, and if they are not plenty strong, you can't move fast enough. When your legs get leaden you can't bob and weave and roll and side-slip to avoid punches. With the strength of youth in his legs, Louis will knock Schmel- ing out in 8 hurry if he comes out punching, but if he tries to box again with as cagey a fighter as Schmeling he will be knocked out again."
 Promoter Mike Jacobs has sold $530,000 worth of advance tickets and has orders for about $1OOOO0 more, he said. Nearly 75 per cent of the advance sale has come from out of town buyers. Jacobs said that the sale was about $12,000 be- hind the $947,893 Louis-Baer gate, but pointed out the latter fight had a six-week advance sale while Schmeling-Louis tickets were put on sale only two weeks ago.

Dulmaine, a win ner over Meriden George Pope last winter is rated well able to cope with Turcotte's left-handed attack. If Dulmaines reputation is backed by his fists, the bout should be a jim dandy as Robert Webster Kelly the Kresge crooner, would modestly put it.

 All in all, the show looks like another of the type that thrilled the customers last week, when nearly 2000 fans paid to see the action which is scheduled to begin at 8:30 D. m.

Golfers seek distance. Their in- stinctive feeling of power rests in the stronger side and arm |. hitting forward. To give the left side, arm, and wrist chance to figure in the stroke, we pivot in the swing. If there is little or no pivot, the club usually is taken to the top of the swing by the right hand, and the swing is dominated by the right side, causing cut across the ball.
 Start the backswing with punsh of the left side, letting the left arm and side dominate the backswing. Copyright, 1888, NEA Service, Incl

PROTOCOLS TO PEACE
WITH BUSINESS?
OVAL Street JOurnaI)

(NalI Street Journal)
To the Presidents recent combined
proffer Of and appeal for cooperation
between the Administration and business
i'm the task of bringing about recovery
from the present depression, appropri-
ate response has been made by group
of representative business leaders. They
accept the Presidents proffer and
pledge the business community to full
cooperation with all measures and meth
DDS that seem likely to advance the de
sired result.
There is no doubt that in 50 doing they
faithfully express both the desires and
the intentions of the business men of the
country. and this formal exchange of
what might be called the preliminary
protocols of peace is assuredly a con-
structive development i'm Il situation
which is badly in need of it. Giving to
both documents full faith and credit,
they furnish basis for hope that the
long conflict between the two elements
may bc terminated.
Nevertheless, these protocols must. as
dIplomatistS say. be implemented, that
is, translated into definite action. 1t is
Administration 1t could not be. for the
not a case Of business capitulating to the
root troube-lack of business confidence
is not susceptible of removal in such
a way at moments notice. Nor is it a
case of the Administration capitulating
to business by summary abandonment of
its main obiectiveS.
What is first and most needed is Il
recognition by both sides of the fact that
neither is engaged in deliberate sabotage
of the others interests. With that state
of mind once eliminated. progress can
be made in clearing away the obstruc-
tionS of measures and methods by amend
ment and modification where calm con-
Sideration finds such to be necessary. A
great deal undoubtedly remains to be
done in this way, and can be done with
out prejudice to or sacrifice of any of
these Obiectives upon the desirability of
which the great majority of us are
agreed. But all will depend upon removal
Of that state of mind.
Without il, business confidence will
remain paralyzed and without revival
of that confidence there can be no last
ing recovery. Nor is there any substitute
for recovery.

THERE IS SUCH A THING
ASTOO MUCH ANTI ANYTHING

1here may De very worthy purpose
behind incorporation at Sacramento of
the Anti-Alien League of America, but
It is our opinion that there is too much
"anti" in the leagues makeup ever to
bring about anything really constructive.
It is possible to be radical on either
side of the fence. Thus we believe those
to be radical who want TO allow all
aliens. regardless of kind or class, to
enter the United States. By the same
token, we cannot help admitting that
those are radical. too, who would depOrt
all aliens from our shores, and never per-
init another 10 enter this country.
The newly organized anti-alien league
would have a law passed making it un-
lawful for any alien to engage in any
form Of business in this country 1t asks
deportation of 100000 aliens by 1910
We are firm believers in strictest pos
sible regulation of immigration. and in
immediate deportation of all undesirable
aliens We agree with the anti-alien that
citizenship within two years should be
made mandatory for any alien intending
to live in this country.
We do not. however, believe that all
aliens are undesirable, nor that the desir-
able ones should be prevented from gain
ing a living
There is a middle path along every
road. Most Of the time, it is the safest
path.

DISCOUNTING STATE
ELECTION RETURNS

I'm Illinois not long ago the New Deal
suffered a grave defeat-according to
the political astronomers-when the cam
didate supported by Maestro jim Farley
was showed under a storm of adverse
ballots In Florida and Indiana this
week. the New Deal won signal victories,
according 10 these same political astron-
omerS.
Elections and defeats to the contrary
We cannot attach any great amount of
political significance to these state poll
teal skirmishes There are too many fac
tors that do not appear on the national
horizon.
Outside California, Upton SmclaTS
defeat in the governorship race of four
years ago was regarded as a stunning
blow TO the New Deal. Here in Califor-
na. we knew better We did not vote for
or against Sinclair. most of us, because
he was a New Deal candidate. We voted
most of Us against him-becausc we
knew his past record of Socialism, and
we did not want a man with that sort
of record in the governors chair. The
way we voted had very little to do with
the New Deal
We believe the same is true in most
of the other state elections we hear
about.
The big New Deal test, and the only
one that really counts. will come in
1910. The New Deal itself will be the
campaign issue then.
