CRAIG AND ELLIS
 TOP RING SHOW Welterweight Rivals Are Paired Friday Night in
 New Britain

New Britain, Feb. 2S.-It'll be a determined Sam Craig, the Water bury welterweight, who climbs throug the ropes on Friday night at the Stanley Arena to battle un- defeated Bobby Ellis of New Bri- tain in a six round windup fray on Promoter Dick Gray's pro-semi- pro boxing card.
 Craig is confident he can avenge the four-round defeat he suffered at the hands of the Hardware City southpaw two weeks ago. Craig has been working with Dick Turcotte during the past couple of days and believes that he has solved the southpaw style that puzzled him in his previous meeting with Ellis. The longer distance is expected to prove to Craig's advantage as his oppon- ent seemed to work in the fourth round of their previous meeting.
 A four rounder will bring to- gether Charley Roberts, New Britain featherweight, and Joey Wasnick popular New Haven slugger. These two youngsters fought a sensational semi-pro bout on the last card with Wasnick winning the duke. They both decided to enter the profes. sional ranks and were immediately signed to meet again.
 Semi-pros from Massachusetts and Connecticut wil lsupply the action in the remaining bouts.

 BATTING STARS
 WITH NATIONAL
Older Loop Signs Most of
 Rookie SIuggers After Yankees Pattern
BY PAUL sCHEFFELs

United Press Staff Correspondent
 New York, Feb. 28-(UP)-Na- tional league managers shelved mis- ceileaneous baseball data today in favor of the New York Yankee yer. sion of How to hit hoEners and win friends-or pennants."
 The trend of the senior circuit, since the lop-sided victories of the Yankees in the last four world series, has been towards slugging. A peek into spring training actiy- ities reveals leading minor league hitterS of 1889 including the bat ting kings of four out of five highest ranking minor leagues working out in National league uniforms.
 Illustrating the concerted drive for power, the batting champions of two of the three class A minor leagues-the International and Pac- fife Coast- have been enrolled in the Nationl, and the other circuit, the American Association, has con- tributed it's No. man in the bat- ting averages as well as its home run champ and No. run-driver.
 Johnny Dickshot, International League batting ruler at Jersey City last year, goes to the New York Giatns with bis leagues leading hit maker, second d-baseman Mickey Witeek, and the champ pinch h-hitter, infielder Glen Stewart.
 American Association power per- formers have landed in the camp of the Cincinnati Reds. Runner-up to Gil English, batting leader last year, was Will Baker of Indianapolis, who is a member of the Reds squad of catchers. The home run king, lead- ing run-driver and total-base champ was Vince DiMaggio, Kansas City last year and now Red.
 From the Pacific coast league, Dom Dallessandro, batting czar by the highest batting average recorded in the circuit since 1885, belongs to the Chicago Cubs.
 The Texas League and Southern Association rank next to the double A groups, rating at A-1. Two bat ters furnished 8 photo-finish for the southern crown last year, Bert Haas of Nashville, who is performing at the Brooklyn Dodgers camp this spring and Babe Young of Knoxville, now a leading candidate for the Giants first base job.
 Bill Nicholson, who joined the Cubs in midsummer last year, was the southern homer king, his string of 23 standing up until the seasons end. Young hit 2l homers, was the leading run-driver, the top hit- maker, the two-bagger king and was unanimously chosen as the leakue's most valuable player.
 Adding to the parade of batting champs joining the National league are: Eddie Young, Piedmont League king, now with the Pirates; Pee-Wee Reese, who led the American Assoc. iation in three-baggers, with the Dodgers; Barney Olsen, Cub. out fielder, who led the three-I League in doubles and total bases, and Butch Moran, Red hopeful, who topped the Western Association in runs -batted-in.
