Everyone on Broadway, of course, is whistling in the dark. They say the Fair is new and the novelty is attracting all New Yorkers-and that when the vis- iting firemen get here, things will be different.
 Difficult to tell, because Broad way isn't the handsomest and coolest spot in the world in mid- summer. Meanwhile, the Broad- way boys moan and wait.
 ROOFTOP
 BEAU BRUMMEL
 It isn't every grateful beggar who can inherit the discarded clothing of Rockefeller, but such an honor has fallen to a nonde- script, stare-eyed, open-mouthed and ister-looking figure who stands stiffly at attention on the elevated garden of Rockefeller Center.
 He never said Thanks" either, when he received the gift of an old pair of s1acks and a jacket from Nelson Rockefeller, scion to the fabulous family. For this. un- grateful wretch is the scarecrow who puts his forbidding eye upon the Fifth Avenue sparrows which alight in the garden.
 He fell heir to the suit when Nelson Rockefeller dropped in there one day and decided the scarecrow needed a new Spring wardrobe. The fit isn't snug and the style is conservative, but it is comfortable summer wear.
 BROADWAY VISITOR IN CLOTH
 A benign and brawny clergy man went to the Rainbow Room the other night and admir- ed the night life of Manhattan, applauded Mary Martin whose heart belongs to daddy and did all but rise and dance.
 He was Father Edward Flana- gan, the founder of Boystown in Nebraska, where itinerant boys and young men from all over the land are given crafts and inde- pendent places in society.
 A few months ago, Spencer Tracy impersonated Father Flana- gan in a film and won the Acad- emy award for a fine perform ance. Between the Father and Tracy there has sprung up a fast friendship, which in Tracy's case approaches idol-worship. When Tracy came east recently en route to Europe, he stopped off in Me- braska to visit Father Flanagan and left the statuette which Hol- lyWood dubs Oscar" with the Father, as his and Boystown's pos- session.
 He has often asked Father Flan- agan to be his Hollywood guest, but thus far has received only vague acceptance. Administering Boystown is a full time job and such weekend holidays as Father Flanagan just enjoyed in Manhat- tan are rare respite.
 ACTORS AND PALS
 One of the inseparable pairs in New York consists of William Gaxton and the portly, angel faced Victor Moore who are hap piest when they are appearing in a show together, as they are at present.
 Almost nightly, they leave the playhouse together and go to a nearby pub = sometimes Dinty Moore's and often the Stork-and settle down over the special con- coction of beer, stout and ale, to reminisce about the days of yore in the show business.

Out Of Running for
Semi-Pro Crown

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 30.-Barn-
storming baseball clubs, lured by
the cash prize of $1,000 or more, a
diamond studded trophy and a
free trip to Puerto Rico in Septem-
ber, will not be permitted to COM
pete in the 48-State semi-pro
tournaments under the banner of
the National Semi-Pro Baseball
Congress.
Ray Dumont, president of the
congress today announced rulings
designed to limit the State and
national Journeys to local teams
backed largely by municipalities
or industrial firms.
To keep out the transformers,
State commissioners will act upon
classification of teams. Any further
questions of eligibility will be re-
ferred to Commissioner George H
Sisler of st. Louis. To prevent
teams from organizing just to play
in the Journeys, each will be re-
quired to play at least three games
under the banner of the organiza-
ton 1t represents before its eligi-
bility u announced.

NEW YORK, May 30.-Television
destined to be giant before it quits
growing, makes its big-time sports
debut Thursday night when the
image Of the l5-round heavyweight
fight between Max Baer and Lou
Nova at Yankee Stadium will be
thrown on about 100 pin-size screens
in the metropolitan area.
There are this many owners, at
any rate, Of private sets capable OF
receiving the sight and sound which
will be sent out from the ringside
by the National Broadcasting Co.
with the full permission of promoter
Mike Jacobs. For the first and
very probably, the last time, these
fortunate few will be able to draw
up the easy chairs, loosen their
after-dinner belts and enjoy the
thrills of ringside seat.
Just Giving 1t Tryout.

make practice of giving away his
merchandise. No, indeedy. Mike

sample, come-on, looking to the
time not far distant when the bald
genius Of Sixth avenue expects tele-
vision to pay him MANIFOLD.
Mike is deeply impressed by some
thing he learned the other day about
television: Namely, that the stuff
is not necessarily scattered to the
breezes, to be picked up by any
deadhead who owns a receiving set
but can be pipe-lined to a definite
point, like oil. Mikes brain has

Picard's Great Streak
Finally Earns Met
Open Top Prize
Gets 50 to Beot Runyon,
Completing 108 Holes
Three Below Par
BY the Associated Press.

WHITE PLAINS, N. Y, May 30
just when they were about to
change the name of the Metropoli-
tan Open to the Gen. Grant Golf
Tournament and let Henry Picard
and Paul Runyan fight it out on
the same line If it took all sum-
mer, Picard up and won the thing.
And that's a tip to look out for the
Chocolate Soldier in the Goodall
round robin tournament this week
and in the National open which
follows it.
1t took two 13-hole playoffs for
Henry to dispose of Paul Runvan,
the home club pro at the Metropo-
lis Course, and Vic Ghezzi after
they had tied with 283s for the
regulation 70 holes. He did it
with as great an exhibition of con-
sistently good golf as you could see
anywhere.
Has Nothing Above II.
For 108 holes. Picard was three
strokes under par on tough par II
course. He had rounds of II, II. SO,
u, 10. SO, and wound up just two
strokes to the good.
Ghezzi went out on the first play
off round Sunday and Runyan had
to be content with the $3.50 second
money after par II yesterday.
The Pennsylvanian's victory was
worth $3.50.
That kind of golf may not win the
Goodall tournament, which is de-
cided by a new-fangled form Of
match play, but if Henry can keep
it up for the four rounds of the open
at Philadelphia June 8, and 10,
he'll either be the winner or the
guy the winner had to beat.
Goodall an Unusual Test.
The Goodall tourney, inaugurated
at Cincinnati last year, will be
played at the Fresh Meadow Club
on Long Island Thursday, Friday,
Saturday and Sunday.
1t can't develop into marathon
like the Met" for it's round-robin
affair among IS players. They go
out in five threesomes each day and
when it's over, each player has had
crack at every other one. The
ultimate victor is the one who has
won the greatest number OF holes
from his IA rivals.

Central and Eastern
Mines Wei! Matched
For Title Battle
Blue Hos Batting Edge
But Breaks Are Likely
To Decide Tomorrow

In the big league setting OF
Griffith Stadium, Eastern and Cen
trail tomorrow will apply the finisll-
ing touches to one of the most
hectic 1nter-high baseball cam
paigns in decade, meeting in a
single game for the public high
championship. The contest will
get underway at $50.
Regarded by some high school
fans .as team of destiny, Central
has slight edge on its opponent
in statistics, but Eastern is not held
lightly. It shapes up as a good,
close game with the team getting
the breaks emerging as the title
holder.
Central Rallies Suddenly.
Central is the last team fans ex-
pected to find in the playof about
a month ago. Jack Rays roster
had been hit hard by injuries and
scholastic ineligibilities, and its
hopes were low when it suddenly
began fighting and clicking. The
drive eliminated in a ninth inning.

that earned the championship of
the western division.
Eastern, on the other hand, got
of to negative start against Ana
costa, but came back to win its
next three games, slaughtering
Anacostia, 1873, to get revenge. and
coaSted home with the eastern di-
vision title.
Central has slight edge in bat
ting, .29l to .287. 1t boasts a half
dozen 300 hitters to Eastern's one.
and 1t has made its share of extra
base blows. Eastern, though, has
hit in the pinches.
ROzzelle and Lovett Face,
Little Dick Rozzelle, who has done
yeoman duty for Central this season
and stood up magnificently despite
the heavy burden cast upon him
will start for Central, with "Pud-
din" Lovett, Easterns fireball ace
opposing him.
One change may be made in
Central's starting lineup, depending
on the condition of First Baseman
Dick Farr, who recently suffered a
couple of broken ribs in an auto
accident. Farr played one game
with the ribs swathed in tape and
bandage, but Coach Ray probably
will withhold him from the lineup
tomorrow.
Guyon will rely on the same team
that carried the light blue to Sec
tional honors.

There is no chance that the proc

the British can televise action onto

that won't amount to anything if
several big movie houses buy the

me any customers from the big

with watching these guys on a

Experts Still at Sea
As Baer, Nova End
Training Grind
Consensus Fuvors Max,
But All Have to Admit
Younger Lou Is Good
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, May 30.-It may not
be the best fight of the season when
Max Baer and Lou Nova come to-
gether for IS rounds or less in the
Yankee Stadium Thursday night
and it probably won't draw the big
gest crowd. But it certainly is the
hardest fight to figure out in ad-
vance.
The experts haven't been able to
agree at all. The consensus is that
Baer can win-but will he? And
there's no answer to that question
If Make fights as he did several
years ago-when he stopped Max
Schmeling, for example-it hardly
seems possible the young and COM
paratively inexperienced Nova can
beat him. If he fights as he did
against Joe Louis or Jimmy Brad
dock almost any good pugilist
should be able to do it. And Nova
it seems clear, is good.
Publicity Builds Up Nova.
The young Californian wasn't SC
we'll known hereabouts when the
match was made, so Promoter Mike
Jacobs gave him the benefit of his
best publicity blasts. So far, Nova
has quite lived up to them. Baer
was 5-6 favorite when they started
training. Now they're rated about
even.
From their training camps at
Ferndale, N. Y, for Baer, and Nyack
N. Y, for Nova, come reports that
they're in fine shape. The ex-
madcap Make, who loses few op-
portunities to remind everybody he
has settled down now, has been
working hard. He says that despite
his 81 years his legs are in shape to
go Is rounds if necessary-but it
won't be necessary.
Both were scheduled to get in their
final training licks today. a little
boxing and light exercises, before
breaking camp.
One of the most surprising de-
velopments-outside of the predic-
tlons around Mike Jacobs Office OF
a $150,000 gate-is Novas new eager
ness to get this one over and 60 after
Champion Joe Louis.
Lou Eager to Get at Louis.
Last winter Lou said he thought
it would be a year or so before he
was ready for Louis, but since he
saw the champion fight Jack Roper
he hardly can wait.
Why" he explained, Il almost

with left hand in their fight. ]
thought the number was up then
I don't think Tony Galento can dc
it. That's why I'm in rush.
Manager Ray Carlin even thinks
this rush may cause Nova to forget
his instructions Thursday in his
effort to make a good showing
against Baer. He plans to tell Lou
to stick to his boxing, but he won't
be surprised if, after few rounds,
Nova opens up and starts slugging
If he does, it may be just too bad
Baer can slug, too.

To Impress Tunney

That was last winter. Today
fresh from Nova's training camp
Mr.. Tunney is promising every one
who will listen that Nova will crush

little of this and little of that.
Il am speaking of the one-two

'Baer can be knocked silly by a good
one-two. He is thoroughly receptive
to the weapon in question. and Nova
has the best one-two I have seen

then this"
Genes change of heart is sudden,
but fairly complete. And it's not
hard to understand. Once they
