FIVE INDICTED
 BY GRAND JURY
Hays to Give Up Thurs day n Operated Rich
 Dog Racing Track

Boston, Feb. 6.(UP)-Martin Hays of Allston, former Republican floor leader of the Massachusetts House of Representatives, will surrender Thursday for arraignment in U. s district court on Charges of at- tempted income tax evasion.
 He was one of five majority stock holders of the Bay State Greyhound Association, Inc. indicted on tax evasion charges yesterday. Atty Hays informed U. s. Atty. Ed mund J. Brandon last night. he would SUIT ender Thursday morning
 Hays faces possible maximum penalty of 40 years Imprisonment and $80,000 in fines if convicted The indictments were returned ny an extraordinary federal grand jury concluding months investigation of Massachusetts dog track affairs Hays was charged with attempted evasion of a total $4,976 in 1885 and 1886 income taxes.
 Named with Hays were Louis B Fox, Revere: Mario Ingraffia, Cran- ston, R. l., formerly of Waban, Mass. Hyman Abrams, Chelsea and Ar thur G. Barron, Boston. The five reportedly hold 60 per cent of the stock of the racing association that operates at Wonderland Park. Rev. ere, the nations richest dog track All were expected to surrender.

inform Conn after 1t was all over that he had been in fight.
 Quick Finish
 As for Louis, that would be some thing else. Joe would walk in and start punching and any customers held up at the turnstiles for second or two would miss the finish. It would be that quick. But don't ever let anyone tell you that an Armstrong; Louis match would be any more one sided than some of the fights Louis has had with retired tire vulcanizers, tired taxidermists turned fighter for night, or animated hatracks with a leaning toward self sacrifice. Louis knocked them out just as quickly and easily as he ever would Armstrong. Perhaps little bit more quickly anc more easily. Henry is at least gam and small enough to offer poor tar get. All some of Joe's victims had were directions as to how to reach the place of slaughter and the time 1t was to come of.
 Armstrong started work for Garcis yesetrday. He did his first work in g downtown gymnasium, but will re- tire to 8 mountain fastliess as soon as his manager, Eddie Mead, arrives. Mead was due here two or three days ago but probably stopped oil in Chi- cago to play three-horse parlRy or try the bill of fare ate new yes- taurant.

GENTS 5 SHADE
 HEARTS ON HILL
Disqualified Player Scores Winning Goal-Texans
 Top Tribes

Whether or not a formal protest will be filed by other teams is prob- lematical, but the fact remains that the Gents of the Hill, first round champions of the Washington Park Community basketball league won a 42-40 game last night from the Sacred Hea. ts by the margin of a field goal scored by a disqualified player. Joe Quilter, who wound np with five field goals should have been benched after his fourth per- sonal foul, It the Hearts agreed to allow him to play. Os result, it was Quilter'- hoop which defeated them.
 Under the rules of basketball, the game may be protested by any other team in the league, even though the Hearts allowed the play CT to remain iI- the game.
 In another nip and tuck contest, the Brooklyn Texans finished fas; with heavy scoring final period to finish in front of the Tribunes A to 36. At half time the Tribes led J1e to IS, and then gained a 28 to g advantage before the final period. The Gents and Hearts were tied at half time with IS points. Summary:

TODAY'S SPORT
 PARADE
BY HENRY McLEMORE

Los Angeles, Feb. 6.-(UP)-The Tan Tornado, the Sepia Slugger, the Homicidal Hammerer, the Hustlin' Hurricane, whom, in my own inim- itable way, call Henry Armstrong, may very well wind up fighting Joe Louis for the heavyweight champion ship.
 Armstrong first won the feather weight title. He then added 8 pork chop and a second helping of hom- iny grits to his evening meal and went out and won the lightweight title. Squaring his shoulders, he started taking double portions of everything and it wasn't long before he had fought for, and won, the welterweight championship.
 Now, within a few weeks, here in his home city, he will challenge Cef- erino Garcia for the n1iddleWeight crown. am not a man who is noted for his long vision but can foresee what is going to happen after that bout. Armstrong, like an Alexander in tights, will crave new worlds to conquer and, with gall not divided into three parts, start eyeing the light heavyweight title of Billy Conn and the heavyweight robes of Louis.
 Memory Test
 Ridiculous? Perhaps, but 8 study of the record books will reveal fights in which tremendous amounts of weight were given away by fighters. haven't record book at hand to study, but my memory has never failed me except in cases where I tried to remembed something-and I'll trust it. Young Stribling couldn't have weighed more than 175 when he fought Camera in Pairs and Camera at the time was only slightly smaller than refrigerator car. Dempsey gave all of 60 pounds to Willard and Sam Langford weighed only 145 when he gave Jack Johnson three kinds of fits. Jack Blackburne, now trainer of Louis, gave more weight away than Rockefeller did dimes, and so did Cans and Walcott. And Mickey Walker wasn't sparing with the poundage when he fought Max Schmeling. And what did Joe Wal colt, welter, do to Joe Choyinski, a heavyweight good enough to lick Johnson? Nothing, except knock him stiffer than plate of aspic.
 Armstrong will probably weigh in at around 140 for his fight with Gar cia on the 22nd. Tn his last fight, which saw him fiatten Pedro Mon- tanez in nine rounds, Henry was the heaviest of his career. 139 3-4. Some of those at the ringside said 1t was the best fight. To fight Conn for the light heavyweight title Armstrong probably could work up to 145, which would make him give away 30 pounds. I'm not saying he could like the Pittsburgh profile, but 1t wouldn't be . shambles. No one would have to

Ciarlo And Cartegena
 Battle Again Friday

Six new faces, which have felt to jolting touch of red leather will make local showing at the Water bury A. 0. boxing show Friday night at Buckingham Hall. Features of the show, an professional card will include Baby Jack Thompson of Albany, N. Y. the colored boy who beat Dick Turcottee rather handily two weeks ago at Holyoke.
 Another attraction for the fans has been arranged with the signing of return bout between Tommy Ciarlo of this city and Benny Car tegena of New York, the pair that provided sixty seconds of pnncring power seldom seen when they last met in the Turcotte-Bell card two weeks ago. At that time, Ciarlo was floored by couple of Cartegena clouts that had him more than half way toward a knockout, but he took a count, got up and then whacked Benjamin senseless within the next half minute.
 Sluggergo
 Eddie Elm, the Manchester, who, with Babe Bergeron of Fall River stoke the, show" on the Trucotte- Battalino card in Hartford recently is to display his punching power with Irish Billy Kelly of New York during a six round bout that ought to bring up a layout, as these l6O pounders are devastating leather pushers. Danny Williams of AL bany and Nat Kolin, New York Jewish boy are down for a sixer while Sammy Katz, red-haired Waterbury and New York Hebrew IS making his pro debut with Bill Sippe of Hartford.

TALE OF THE TAPE
 ON LOUIS, GODOY
GODOY

Yussel- the Muscle speaks witt authority. He piloted Schmeling anc Galento through their three thrill ing battles with Chamion Louis Schmeling fought the Brown Bomb CT twice, knocking him out the first time and getting kayoed himself the second time. Galento almost belt ed out Bomber Joe last summer.
 Moreover Yussel, who is no rela- tive of Promoter Mike Jacobs, also piloted Galento through two primi- tive brawls with challenger Godoy Galento lost both those 1887 bouts at New York and Chicago.
 Just Like Farr
 Hence the authoritative tones 1T Yussers voice as he discusses Friday nights international conflict a Madison Square Garden.
 Jacobs says, "Godoy will last thu distance just like Tommy Farr die and for the same reason. Loui' ain't. takin' any chances on bustin them million-d mitts. He'll bt satisfied to try to outpoint Arty when he finds that Arty is dan- gerouS target.
 Yussel emphasizes that Godoy k a rugged, awkward mauler, who fights low, with the bob and weave Because of style Auturo is "all el- bows and head" It's most difficult to get a good shot at the Chilean's chin. And take it from Galento that chin is just like granite, ever it you do connect. Galento's Jeff hook, which sprawled Louis on the canvas, never phased Godoy during their IS rounds of brawling. Tn 6s professional bouts the South Amer. ican never has been on the floor.
 Hard to Hit
 Tn other woids," says Jacobs "Godoy is a lot harder to nail thar the champ, and he takes punches g lot better. Galento hit him so haro at Chicago that Tony busted his right paw, but nothin' happened"
 Jacobs would NOT predict that Godoy will beat Louis, but he is po- sitive the challenger will go the dis tance. .-
 Meanwhile the champion was slated to box today and tomorrow at his Pompton Lakes. N. J., camp This will complete the Bomber's training. He expects to scale about 201 pounds, about two less than Godoy, who is conditioning at Sum- init, N. J. -

ZEKE BONURA TO
 WARM THE BENCH WHITEHEAD OUT
MOOre's Job Uncertain; Witek and urges Only
 InfieIders Set
! BY PAUL sCHEFFELs

United Press Staff COrrespOndentl New York, Feb. 6 - (U.P0 Two of last years regular players-First Baseman Zeke Bonura and Second baseman Burgess Whitehead--do not figure in the New York Giants plans for 1940, Manager Bilr Terry said today.
 Terry, who returns to his Mem phiS, Tenn. home tomorrow and heads for Winter Haven, Fla, on February 21, announced that he hau given Bonura permission to make , deal for himself but would wait un- til spring training begins before making definite decsion about Whitehead.
 The Giant pilot admitted that only two clubs had evinced any in terest in Bonura, who hit 321 in 12G games last year but was put on the block at the close of last season The Washington Senators are will ing to take zeke for the $7'50O waiver price and the Philadelphia Phillies have offered cash and ont player but Terry insisted that Bon ura was worth more than tn. waiver price to hi meven if "he onl! sits on the Giants bench"
 After all, if our Rookie Firs Baseman, Babe Young doesn't hl left-handed pitching as well as we think, he can," Terry said, well have to put Bonura in there. Even if that's the only way we use him he's still worth more than $7,500."
 Asked who he thought would b; the club to beat in the NationP League next season, Terry said:
 Cards Team To Fear
 ''The Cards will be thes toughe club in the league-tougher than the Reds. I'm not conceding all pennant to anyone. don't like pick them to win the pennant U less it is the Giants ad this yeal well, I don't know"
 Mickey Witek at second base a, Billy Jurges at shortstop will be Il field fixtures, he said, third ba will be free-for- -all between Gle Stewart and Alban Glossop, brough up from Jersey City, and Lou Chi OAAd. N1l1O1Ad, WlO Was put Out VI action last season with a broken leg, will get first call if his leg has heal ed but Stewart vii start the season.
 Rookie Johnny Fucker will get trial in the outfield and its "up to Joe Moore if Joe Moore plays the outfield in 1940."
 Terry figures Carl Hu5bell would again become an effective pitcher and believes he will win 18 games and that Hal Schumacher, veteran right-hander, will win IS. He will attempt to change the pitching styles of Cliff Melton and Manuel Salvo, who, along with Hubbe.l. Schumacher, Harry Gumbert and Bill Lohrman, will form the nucleus of his pitching staff. :
 I've got some good young play CTS like a lot," he said. If they start clicking early in the season, we'll be up in the first division and we'll stay there."
