BOSTONIANS SEEK
 PRO GRID POST

Boston, April 9.-(UP)-An ap- plication for a franchise in the Na- tional Professional Football league will be sought for Boston by a group of Sportsmen when the league di- rectors hold their annual meeting in New York tomorrow, it was learned today.
 Known as the National League Professional Football Team, Inc, the group includes Francis Ouimet, for mer National Open and amateur golf champion, Joseph Conway, At torney Daniel L. Lyme and former Judge John J. Burns. In addition to the Boston men, William Shea of New York is making an effort to or ganize a league team here.
 Services of a prominent football coach would be sought if the fran chise is granted and Bill Mccarthy, football director at FenWay Park: would be named business manager.
 Previous attempts to gain fran chise failed. reportedly because the league directors were opposed to enlarging the membership. Profes- sional football lapsed in Boston three years ago.

STRAND

Northwest Passage" with Spencer Tracy and Robert Young in the leading roles; also the Jones Fam fly in Young AS You Feel" con- prise the fine twin bill coming to a close this evening at the popular Warner Bros. Strand theater.
 One of the most interesting star teams of the year will entertain theatergoers attending the Strand tomorrow when James Stewart and Margaret Sullavan come to that theater in their third co-starring vehicle "The Shop Around the Cor ner."
 The film was directed by Ernest Lubitsch, the man who made Garbo and the nation laugh with "Ninot- chka" and now that same man has reunited Miss Sullavan and Stewart in a motion picture as humanly realistic ard charmingly amusing as the daily doings at the neighbor- hood grocery store.
 This marks the first screen ap- pearance of Miss Sullavan since her excellent performance in Three Comrades. Of course Stewart is no stranger to Waterburians for he is still winning acclaim for his brilliant work in the recent MT. Smith Goes to Washington" and ''Destry Rides Again"
 In the colorful setting of a street in Budapest the film tells of the everyday events in the everyday lives of leather goods and novelty shop owner and his clerks. There is nothing pretentious about the film. Instead of glamorous settings, costumes and spectacle, it has a de- lightful quality of honest truth, as the gruff but kindly employer and his employees move in and out of the picture, giving it life, warmth, dramo suspense, comedy and TO- nance.
 Also prominent in the cast is Frank Morgan and Joseph Schild- kraut.
 On the same program will be Zane Grey's Knights of the Range" with big cast of favorites.

BRADLEY COLT
 IS MUDDER TOO
 SAY HANDLERS
FavOrite May GO to the Post at 7 to 10; Carrier
 Pigeon Dark Horse
BY ART KRENZ NEA Service Staff Correspondent


 Lexington, Ky, April g - Here's good news for the bettors who have wagered thousands in the winter book on Bimelech to win the Ken lucky Derby, May 4.
 The last son of Black Toney will run in the big number in Louis vile regardless of the track-pro- vided he continues to train as he is at present and comes up to the event a fit horse.
 Bimelech packers were alarmed no little the other day when Colonel Edward Riley Bradley, speaking from Palm Beach, said his colt, bar ring accidents, would be a sure starter on a FAST track.
 Bibelech, the 2-year-old champion was twice scratched last summer be- cause tracks did not suit William Hurley, his trainer.
 Race goers interpreted this as evidence that Bimelech couldn't run in mud, but this turns out to be erroneous.
 Jockey F. A. Smith, who rode the big bay, is reported to have said the horse could ramble in goo, and now we have it from his handlers that Colonel Bradley's strapping thor oughbred is great horse which can run an any kind of track. BAD TRACKS TAKE TOO MUCH OUT OF JUVENILES
 Bimelech was kept off bad tracks last year because of Colonel Brad ley and Hurley, the oldest employe in his barn, did not choose to pun- ish juvenile of such promise.
 More good news for those who have bet on Bimelech is that the colt has the feel of the track again on Idle Hour Farm.
 He came off the turf after win tering well and growing and is as sound as dollar. The weather did not retard workouts long enough to prevent Hurley and his assistant, Alex Gordon, from preparing him for preliminary Whirls at Keeneland where he is entered in the Blue Grass Stakes along with his stable mate, Bashful Duck.
 But stiff preps will have to be crammed into less than a month to get the Bradley pair ready for the mile and a quarter of the Derby under 126 pounds so early in the spring.
 Bashful Duck, by Chicle, gives Colonel Bradley second strong Derby candidate, according to Gordon. He won at Is to 1 the first time out last year.
 BIMELECH TO BE
 ODDS-ON CHOICE
 Too ill to watch Mimelech run at Saratoga last August, Colonel Brad ley, who is shooting for his fifth Derby victory, began to pick up as the colt burned up eastern tracks.
 Asked if Bimelech winning or losing in the Derby would affect Bradley's health, Gordon replied: Hell, no. The colonel is too much of hardened gambler"
 Gordon, who formerly trained for the Coldstream Stud, expects Bim- elech, which has been beaten down to 2 to l ill the winter book, to go to the post at 2 to 10, which would make him one of the shortest-priced choices in Derby history.
 Like Man O War, Bimelech may enter the stud following his Swear old year, to keep the strain of Black Toney, Colonel Bradley

that such violations will not be toll
Grated Every possible effort has
been made to acquaint all dealers

said. I'VE have been very lenient

Sparkling pointed out that under
the law all commodities must be sold

offered for sale must be so marked.
Case, pail, basket, and such
like terms mean nothing, he eau
toned, and all such containers
when offered for sale must be
marked either with net weight or

law.
"On the whole, | am delighted
