20 Years Aqo
In The Star

Organized baseball has been
declared a monopoly by the Dis
trict Supreme Court and if its
verdict favoring the Baltimore
Orioles of the Federal League is
upheld on appeal it will mean,
among other things, the sever
ance of relations between the
American and National Leagues.
The New York Yankees have
released Pitchers Dazzy Vance
and Bill Pierce to Sacramento of
the Pacific Coast League.
Manager Clark Griffith has
narrowed his selection of the
pitcher to open the season against
the Yankees to Harry Harper and
Jim Shaw.

or Cleveland would take third and
whether Washington or Chicago
would finish fifth. Two votes for
the Indians to win the pennant were
cast and others placed them any
where down to and including fifth.
The concensus was Cleveland third
and Detroit fourth.
Washington was a strong choice
for fifth but the White Sox got a
wider range Of votes-being picked
everywhere from third to eighth
The st. Louis Browns also found a
friend who cast a vote for third.
For any readers who came this far
looking for a surprise, there were 80
writer's who more or less conscien-
tiously picked the Philadelphia Ath-
letics to finish out of the cellar. Of
course there were SO others who
again handed the Athletics an

The Nationals opening game
pitcher, it was announced today by
Manager Bucky Harris, will be Jo-
seph Victor Lawrence Krakauskas.
And while Bucky's words still echoed,
Uncle Clark Griffith, president and
chief owner of the Washington
firm, took the stand and said:
1--WE oughtta get that Krakauskas
mad. He amt a-got thing on the
ball. I've been training Krakauskas
and Chase for nearly three months
now and they still amt ready"
Mr.. Harris decided upon Krakaus-
kas, he said, despite his $3.50 Show
ing yesterday against the Boston
Bees, who licked the Mats by a
5-to-1 score at Griffith Stadium be-
fore a handful of shivering fans.
This was the second straight game, "
said Bucky, that he hasn't had
anything. But he's due and, after
all, he figures to have the percentage
against the Yankees. So he's the
one"
Griffith expressed keen interest in
Harris decision. Its up to Bucky,'
remarked the Old Fox, but if Kra-
kauskas warns up before the open
ing game and doesn't show any more
than he had yesterday I think that
Bucky ought to switch. Why, Kra-
kauskas didn't even have his fast
ball. Where did that go?"
Where Is the Fast Ball?
The mystery of Krakauskas' fast
ball seems to be puzzling the entire
ball club. A couple of weeks ago,
against the same Bees in Braden-
ton. Fla, Krakky had a fast ball
that did everything but fry break
fast eggs. It whistled, took of, dove
and, in general, stopped the Bees
cold. But it wasn't in evidence yes
terday. Krakky was just another
guy named Joe to the Bees, who in
seven innings combed him for all of
their nine hits, all of their four

Louis Aims 10 Finish

As Possible
Handlers insist Champ
Must Take No Chances
With Vet Monday
By the Associated Press.

LOS ANGELES, April 14.-Heavy-
weight Champion Joe Louis as usual
undoubtedly is the least concerned
of all in the coming defense of his
title Monday night against the
crafty, 36-year-old Jack Roper, but
his handlers are taking no chances
with their million dollar attraction.
Getting ready for another gym
nasium drill today Louis lodged
naming the round in which he hopes
to belt Roper out of the picture, but
between yawns he added:
IT ain takin' no chances with
Roper or any one else. I'm hop
ing to put him away soon's I can.
Tha's all I can say bout that"
Julian Black and John Roxbo-
rough, Louis managers, aren't over
ly anxious, but as Black pointed out,
"the title Is worth a lot, and we
can't afford to make any mistakes. -
Louis weighs around 203 pounds
today and expects to go into the ring
at Wrigley Field at 199, pound or
two more than Roper.

TUBERCULAR CATTLE


Modern science has made no
more constructive advance in the
field of medicine than in the
discovery of the tuberculin test
for cattle. The test is valuless
unless the cattle are destroyed.
Eight hundred California
ranchers joined in a recent suit

of agriculture from testing their
cows and destroying those found
to be infected with tuberculosis.
They objected particularly to the
fact that the cattle could be de-
stroyed without a legal proceed

In recent decision the Cali
fornia appellate court upheld the
right of the state TO destroy the
herds. Said the court:

THE world today is not much need of skill Of
