ALLEN DERIDES
 NEW BASEBALL

Hot Springs, Ark. Feb. 28.-(UP) Johnny Allen. fiery pitcher of the Cleveland Indians. today derided predictions that the new pitching rule and raised stitches on the ball would benefit hurlers this year.
 That new rule giving pitchers an extra foot behind the rubber will still be a matter for the um- pire to decide and am going right on pitching like I always did" he said. T can't see how it's going to give a pitcher extra speed. and I think it will make some of them lose momentum.
 And I know darn well this new ball will not be any help to a fast ball pitcher. The raised stitches offer too much resistance, and are bound to cut down the speed of the ball."

CALENTO TO GET
 BOUT. WITH JOE LOUIS IN JUNE
Title Go Temporarily Set for Last Week in June
 at New York
By H. J. ARoNsTAM

United Press Staff Correspondent)
 Miami, Fla. Feb. 2e-(UP)-Joe Louis will defend his heavyweight title against Tony Galento in a New York ballyard next June, and If Promoter Mike Jacobs Is planning no more than announcement of this fact, his rendezvous with the press tomorrow will be e three-star flop.
 Promising an interesting an- Fnouncement that has something to do" with Louis and Galento, Pro- moter Mike yesterday invited report CTS to his ocean front cabana at l0:S0 &. m, Wednesday. He said Tony's manager, Joe Jacobs, and Promoter Herman Taylor of Philadelphia would be present. Taylor holds a five-year montague on Tony's career,
 After Louis-Galento fight had run the gamut of the authoritative report stage, John Peterborough, one of Joe's co-managers, confirmed the bout from Detroit He set the date as probably the last week In June,
 Promoter Mike, Manager Joe and Taylor had been discussing the bout almost every waking minute since Tony scored technical knockout over Abe Feldman Thursday night, It was believed that the match was closed after their lengthy confer ence Sunday night,
 Taylor In?
 What held up the signing so long was Taylor's demand for hand in the promotion, and Mikes insistence for exclusive right to Tony's services should he win the title. It is an excellent bet that Mike obtained an option on the Jersey Gargantua, be- cause his cardinal rule of promo ton Is to tie the challenger to an iron bound contract before he gets a shot at title.
 Since Jacobs has a contract to stage a definite number of bouts in the New York ballparks each year, he Is sure to put this fight in one of them. If Peterborough was correct in naming the last week in June, 1t will be in Yankee stadium because the ball club will be on the road from June 25 to July 4.
 Manipulation of Galento into a title bout attests to the managerial acumen of Joe Jacobs, whose screams of Foul, foul" helped win the title for Max Schmeling in 1880. Maxie was on the seat of his pants with Jack Sharkey standing ready to blast him again, when Joe rushed into the ring with thei cry of foul" heard round the boxing world.
 Gold Mine?
 Tony was floundering around get ting nowhere as 6 fighter when Jacobs took him over three years ago. Nine previous managers had declared Tony manageable. But Jacobs visualized Galento as a re- incarnation of the fighting, drinking John L. Sullivan, and he began to prep Tony.
 Joe issued as few orders as possi- ble. He told Tony he didn't care whether he trained or not as long as he appeared ready to fight al ring time. Tony really has power full left hook, but his paunch will be remembered longer than his punch. He weighs about 225, and most of 1t is around the middle His feats with beer and spaghetti have been told and retold. If il had not been for the spell of pneu- monia that prevented Galento from fighting John Henry Lewis last July Jacobs probably would have ma neuvered him into title bout sooner

ST. AIMS OPPOSE WATERBURY CLUB WEDNESDAY, EVE
Game Set for lO:3O P. M. on Arena Ice Winner
 in National Meet

The main hockey game of the season, in the opinion of at least 900 ardent fans, will be played Wed- nesday evening, between the St. Ann's Flying Frenchmen and the Waterbury Hockey club at the New Haven Arena. The game is sched- uled to begin at 10:30 sharp. The lateness of the time canont be helped as 1t is the only time the Arena is available. Neither of the two teams care to play elsewhere, so thruogh the courtesy of the Arenas management the game is to be played on neutral ice.
 Ever since the two hockey teams have been organized they have al- ways got together at the end of the season and played for the city championship. This year, however, there is much more at stake than the city title. The winner of this game will represent the city and state, along with the Brock Hall team in the National A. A. U. hockey tourney to be held in March at the New Haven Arena.
 Frenchies Favored
 Both teams have strong clubs this year and although the Frenchies have lost but one game they are slightly favored over their rivals. The New Haven Brock Halls were the only team to hand the Frenchies a setback and last week the Yale Jayvees tied the St. Anners (4-4) in a game played at the Arena. In- cidently the Yale team defeated the Waterbury Hockey club t8-D. The Brock Hall won over the Frenchies (3-2) in the best and cleanest game played here this year, while the New Haveners handed the other Waterbury club two setbacks (5-0) and (5-D.
 Attraction
 This game promises to be a na- tural with at least 500 tickets al- ready sold. This shows that both teams have such a following that they will even travel 25 miles after most people have retired to bed to witness them play.
 Rumor has 1t that one of the teams is getting the services of out side players, in other words ring ers". If this should be the case it is not very sporting of the team that uses them as the fans want to see the two rivals of long stand- ing play and not team of sctrang- CTS, and 1t is not likely that the fans will sit idly by anda How any, thing such as this to happen.

Fred Mcclure Of Holy Cross,
 New B. C. Baseball Coach

Chestnut Hill, Mass, Feb. 2s.- Boston College proved its broad mindedness in no uncertain terms last night when 1t reached into the alumni of its arch-rival Holy Gross to select its new head coach of baseball, Fred Mcguire, former major league diamond star. The Rev. Patrick H. Collins. S. J., fac- ulty director of athletics at the college, announced to assembled newspapermen in the Boston A. A office last night that, acting upon a unanimous vote of the Graduate Advisory Board of Athletics. he and John P. Curley. graduate manager of athletics had chosen Mcguire to direct the Eagles diamond destinies
 Mcguire graduated from Holy Cross college in 1922 after playing three years of varsity baseball for the Crusaders. He immediately joined the New York Giants as played under John McGraw for two seasons.
 Experienced
 From 1924 to 1927 he played sec- ond base for the Toledo nine of the American Association. His play ing was of such a high calibre ifl 1927 that he was brought back into the Big Tent by the Chicago Cubs with whom he performed in 1923. In 1929 he was sold to the Boston Braves and he performed at the keystone sack with the War riors for three seasons. He was a great favorite at the Wigwam and is still regarded as one of the bes: fielders in the national pastime. 1883 found Mcguire as playing man. ager Of the New Bedford team in the Eastern league. Since that time he has managed Glace Bay and New Waterford in the Cape Bri- tain Colliery league in Canada.
 Tn college and professional base- ball he was rated highly as a field CT and although never a heavy hit- ter, he could generally be counted upon to come through in a pinch
 In addition to John McGraw. Ma guire has played under Casey Sten- gel at Toledo. Joe Mccarthy and Bill McKechnie.
 Dan McGee, a New Bedford pro- duct of Mcguire, went up with the Braves for a short time. Robbie Barr. a Newton pitcher. went from New Bedford to Elmira, where he has been the past few seasons.
 One of Maguire's best defensive days was right at the Boston Coi- 1ege grounds in 1919. Jesse Bur- kett was coaching at the time. Ma g1ire played under him for two years and Jack Barry for one year. Both are marvellous coaches.
 Bay Slater
 Mcguire was born in Roxbury in 1899. He lived there in his early life, attended St. Johns parochial school, Boston Latin and Holy Gross. There was no freshman rule and he played four years at Holy Gross.
 Mcguire lived in Worcester in fhe winters of 1928 to 1929. He was married to a Worcester girl. Kath- nrine Cosgrove and they have four children, two boys and two girls Fred, Jr.. 13. Frances i2. Kathleen ' and William 5. are the children
 when Boston College meets Holy orons it will be situation of the 1a1uiI vs the master.
 sT m very happy to be with DcGeon college as coach and al- <hou1rh it 6 new work to me. m [ will enjoy 1t very much. I rxnecf Boston College will have a 4I1rf1In1 be1l club.
