Flying Operations
Transferred 10 New
Boiling Field
Partial Shift of Army
Planes Begins, Marking
Use Of Two Bases

Partial transfer of flying opera
tions to the S5,5O0,0OO new Boiling
Field, construction of which be-
gan nine years ago, now is in
progress.
Although construction of concrete
aprons around the two large steel,
brick and stone hangers has not
yet been completed one of the hang
ars has been made accessible and
now is being used to house Army
airplanes from the old field.
Partial occupation of the new
field has opened period of di-
vided operations between the two
fields which probably will continue
for a number of years. pending ap-
preparation by Congress Of funds
for additional construction at the
new field. which must be COM
pleted before the unsatisfactory
World War field can be abandoned
by the Army.
Drainage Work Not Complete.
Although construction of the
landing area at the new field has
been virtually completed and the
paved runways and taxi strips are
available for full-time operations,
there still is some drainage work
in progress, particularly at the south
end of the field.
The new field lacks many technical
buildings necessary to its operation
as self-contained unit. Among
them are radio building, photo
graphic laboratory, headquarters
building and garage facilities. There
are no barracks or quarters at the
new field for personnel now housed
at the old field in dilapidated, worm
out barracks and houses of tempo
rary World War construction.
Under present plans the Air Corps
will operate both fields, although
this arrangement is regarded as far
from satisfactory The new field will
be primarily used as a bad weather
field. 1t also is used as an alterna-
tive bad-weather terminal for air
transport planes driven from WASH
ington Airport under certain weather
conditions by rigid safety regulations
of the Civil Aeronautics Authority.
Hope for More Funds.
Though no direct appropriations
for continuance of work on the new
Boiling Field are pending before
Congress, it is regarded as possible
funds may be made available in
connection with the $30OOOO,0OO air
defense program which now is get
ting under way. This program in
cludes approximately $65 100000 for
construction of air bases and ground
facilities.
Under an agreement with the
Navy Department, old Boiling Field
will be turned over to the Navy for
addition to the Anacostia Naval Air
Station after the Air Corps moves
all its operations to the new field.

elimination rounds battle for Ameri-
cas- greatest amateur boxing awards
tonight in semi-flnals and finals of
the National A. A. U. championships
Champions will be crowned in the
eight weight divisions at the end
OF San Francisco's biggest flstic festi-
val in many a year. Two of three
defending champions still were on
hand and most of the favorites came
through as expected.
Tonight's 80 young gladiators are
what's left of an entry list of 1872,
representing so cities in 26 States
and Hawaii, trimmed down in a
double barreled session Wednesday
afternoon and evening, when two
rings were in operation. and last
nights quarterfnal bouts.
Speary Reveals Class.
Billy Speary of Philadelphia, BAN
tamweight champion the past two
years and smooth and clever boxer,
kept in the running with technical
knockout over Eddie Yasui of Homo
lulu, national junior title holder in
1887, in the third round. Yasui was
foored twice in the final session, and
the referee halted the bout.
Bill Eddy of Flint, Mich, 1856
pound champion last year, scored
frequently with stiff body blows to
win a close decision over Thomas
Campbell, lanky Kansas City, Mo-,
Negro.
Two heavyweights turned in i'm
pressive performances and gave in
dications they might reach the final
bracket. They were Ike Miller of
Kansas City, who outpointed Henry
Moroz of New York City. and Gene
Robertson of Price, Utah, victor by
decision over Big John Matovich of
Winnett, Mont.
Flyweights Are FIashy.
Fast exhibitions were turned in
by the f1yweights. Little Nick Tru-
jillo of Denver hammered out a de-
cision over Tommy Olivarri of San
Antonio, Tex. with cleaner and
stronger punching, and John Forte

Despite Harris announcement
there is a feeling that Bucky may

In the beginning, Bucky had an idea
that Ken Chase would be the man

ways Ken seems better qualified

nervousness. But Ken showed so
badly against the Bees earlier in

as the man.

Bent
On Playing Lou
This Season
Club Is So Powerful
Manager Can Afford
To Be Sentimental
BY GAYLE TALBOT,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

ShoA
NEW YORK, April 14-The ques-
ton most frequently asked of
correspondent just returned from
the baseball training camps might
surprise you. In the last week I've
been asked so times: How does
Gehrig look?"
A few want to know if the Gin
cinnati Reds really have the stuff
to win in the National League, to
which the invariable answer is yes,
providing their pitching lives up to
promise. But most of the fans ask
after the old Iron Horse" and with
mixed feelings.
The Yankees supporters inquire
hopefully, because many a one of
them never saw the three-time
champions play with any one except
Lou on first base and because they
honestly dread the day when he
must step down for a younger man.
To them Gehrig is an heroic figure,
the last of the "old gang"
Gehrig Clings to Job.
The others-those who never have
liked the Yanks much, anyway, and
would like to see their strangle- hold
on baseball broken-ask because
they see in LOUIS eventual retirement
the beginning of the end for the
bombers. They probably are mis-
taken about this. for Gehrig's de-
parture shouldn't make much differ
ence to the Yankees one way or an
other. But it's the only hope the
antl-Yanks have. They dream their
dreams.
To both camps the answer is
Gehrig, approaching 36, has slowed
up dreadfully and has been brooding
for a month over his inability to
hit, but he will be on first base when
the Yankees open the season next
week and will remain there unless
Manager Joe Mccarthy absolutely
has to take him out.
Mccarthy, though he would deny
IL instantly, is a sentimental Irish
man. He will be a sad man the dav
he doesn't write Gehrigs name on
the slip he hands to the head UNI
pire. imagine he would like to
see Lou complete this season. help
the Yanks break all records by WIN
ming their fourth straight world
championship, and then retire vol
unfairly to his home on the Hudson.
Gordon Help to Lou.
Nothing but an injury to Gehrig
or a collapse of the Yankees such
as is difficult to imagine will get
Lou out of the lineup this year. NC
Carthy will keep him in there as
long as the club is in the race
though he doesn't hit over .25O and
fields only the balls that are hit
right down his gullet.
Mccarthy can afford to be senti-
mental, or so it seems. The cham
plons have an embarrassment of
hitting, and anything Gehrig does
along that line will be so much
gravy. They have in Joe Gordon
a great second baseman, kid who
can 60 so far to his left and come
up with the ball that few spectators
ever will realize he's helping Gehrig
with the chores.
Some of the experts who have
watched Gehrig train day after day
this spring predict he will do all
right once the season gets under
way. Lou helped along this line yes
terday by smashing out two home
runs and pair of singles in his
first hitting spree of the year.
