 Partially Blind

Detroit, March 18-UP) Dave Clark, Detroit negro fighter who is under the same management as heavyweight champion Joe Louis, said today that he would claim the worlds light-heavyweight title be- cause of John Henry Lewis inabil- ity to defend it.
 Clark and Lewis were scheduled to fight fo rthe title here March 31 but the Michigan Athletic commis- sion turned thumbs down on John Henry because of impaired vision of his left eye.
 Lewis was examined here late yes- terday when he arrived from Hot Springs, Ark, where he had been training. Knocked out by his "Pal'' Joe Louis in his last start, John Henry refused to submit to a phy- sical examination at Hot Springs.
 Commissioner John J. Hettche re- fused to approve Lewis fighting in Michigan after Dr. c. L. Tomsu found the Arizona negro could hardly distinguish light from dark with his left eye Lewis then refused to submit to examination by an eye specialist, and said he would return to his home in Pittsburgh immed- lately.

Springfield To Close Ice Hockey
 Year At Arena

New Haven, March 18-The cur tain rings down on the 1938-3e hockey season tomorrow night with the New Haven Eagles facing their old rivals, the Springfield Indians, at the Arena. Halted in mid-season by injuries and promotions to the Canadiens, the Eagles began their drive too late to overtake Springfield and make the playoffs.

Fans throughout the state will converge upon the Arena to pay tribute to Coach Pit Lepino in his final game. Lepine, in spit of the fact that injuries and hard luck hampered him all season, is one of the most popular players New Haven has ever hdd.
 He will be presented with 8 com- plete outfit of clothing and a con- sole model radio. -
 The game between the Indians and the Eagles will get under way at 8:30.

 Long John Martin. he same Mar tin counted twice in thesecond lap, aided by Pomponio and Griffin with free throws, and a hoop by Pom ponia. Grady also counted for the Gents.
