Verrikers Lose Mercantile Lead
 to Metro Rollers

Speedy Parcel bowling team of the Mercantile league, by virtue of . three-game "clean sweep" over the leading Verriker Painters last night, made possible the change of leader. ship which put the Metropolitan Cleaners into the league lead, and probably into the 194l champion. ship as the latter team now owns @ two-game lead, by virtue of Q three-game win last night over Matzkin Furniture, and there Is but one more week of action remaining. which means that Verrikers must win three and Metros must lose three next Tuesday in order for the Painters to win.
 Lost 7-Game Lead
 A few weeks back, the verrikes entry had a seven game lead that made them look like "cinch" to coast in for the 194l top honors, but their lead was whittled down week by week, until they entered the lists last night with only one game ahead of the field, only to suffer the humiliation of three straight losses which bounced them back in- to second place, when Speedy Par- eel rolled two hot games of 620 and 638 to win in a walk.
 The annual banquet of the league will be held at Botelle's ct Bantam Lake, on Tuesday evening, April 18th, Secretary Al Koskey said to. day.
 salemi's 148 was high single last night, while Charley Marzano hit 398 for high three which helped Speedy Parcel take all three games from the erstwhile league leaders. Scores:

FIRST ROUND K.0.
 NOVA OBJECTIVE
 FRIDAY NIGHT
Manager Says Fighter Will
 BOx-LOu 7I1 to 5 to Beat Baer
BY JACK CUDDY Limited Press Staff COerespOndent)

United Press Staff COErespondent)
 New York, April 2. - (UP) - AS dawn's rosy finger smeared it's nail polish over Manhattan's cauli- flower Canyon today, two sensitive souls were ct variance over the question: To slug or not to slugP
 Reading from left to right, the parties involved were Manager Ray Carlen and heavyweight contender, Lou Nova.
 Nova, . tawny-haired ex-collegia1 from California, did an about-face on his espoused erudition and in- sisted, "l1l slugl I'll knock haxie Baer stiff in the first round when we tangle at the Garden Friday night"
 Carlen. who was exposed only to grade school, has a great yen for the scientific - for the triumph of brain over brawn. Carlen said, Lou will concentrate upon his sue perior boxing Friday night. His ringcraft will lead to Baer's ultimate and certain downfall"
 This rift over the proper means of Mayhem became public property late yesterday immediately after Nova completed training for his tilt with Madcap Maxie. The betting favored Nova at 2 1-2 to s. But that price was based upon the assum- ton that Lou would come out boxing instead of slugging.
 Had His Lesson
 There were four reasons for this assumption:
 CD Nova fought @ less confident and apparently worse conditioned Baer back in June, 1899. Instead of boxing, Nova made @ slugging

TALE OF THE TAPE
 ON NOVA AND BAER

bee of their meeting. As conse- quence he suffered much needless punishment before registering a technical knockout over Maxie in the 1lth round.
 t2) Meeting Tony Galento in Sep. tember, 1889, Nova was imbuec completely with the Jack Dempsey complex. Training at Atlantic City and Philadelphia, he considered himself @ knockout artist de luxe. He tried to swap punches with two ton Tony and suffered the bloodiest beating of his career before being stopped in the l4th round. Every one figured then that the Dempsey complex had been battered out of his head.
 (0 After the Galento fight, he had nearly 6 year to mediate upon his mistake while in @ hospital fighting back from the rim of the grave.
 (D Tn Lou's last ring appearance, January 10, he contented himself with winning 6 i0-round decision over Pat Comiskey. whom he ap- parently could have knocked out at will and whom Baer kayoed in the first round. Lou concentrated on boxing against Comiskey to get 10 rounds under his belt.
 Manager Talks
 During the seven weeks that Nova has been training for this re- turn bout with Baer, Pilot Carlen has been assuring the boxing writers that Nova has lost his Dempsey complex and will not try to slug. In fact, during Lous last four rounds of boxing at the Pioneer gymnasium yesterday, Carlen was putting punct- uation marks on this thesis.
 Imagine Carlen's consternation when Nova draped under the towels on e rubbing table - said, "I'll come out slugging. I'll knock out old man Baer in the first heat with my new cosmic punch. I'll hit him as he's never been hit before"

Louis YaWnS As Baer Tries To Even Score With Lou Nova
Max Wants Nc More Of Joe: Lou Just One More Target
BY HARRY CRIMSON NEA Service Sports Editor

New York, April 2-Maxie Adel. bert Baer has never been beaten twice by an opponent.
 The erstwhile Butterfly Butcher Boy squared accounts with poor Er- nie Schaaf, blubbery Johnny Risko and No Hit Farr.
 And 1t is my guess that Baer will reverse things in his l2-round re- match with Lou Nova ct Madison Square Garden, April {.
 Max Baer, with his antics, remains an attraction, but as Mike Jacobs prepares to handle another sellout, Joe Louis yawns.
 The champion knows he has Baer's number.
 Nova can't hit and is too willing to be hit.
 No one incapable of hurting Louis is going to lift the title, and flirting with the Negro,s iron dukes is Q sure cure for insomnia.
 Baer wants no more of Louis. The former champions manager, Ancil Hoffman, again made that clear when he suggested Billy conn in May.
 Over Nova, the money may force Baer into the same enclosure with Louis for @ second dose in Septem- Der, but the clowning clouter won't tackle the task with any degree of enthusiasm.
 Louis had Baer frightened stiff long before Maxie waved what everybody suspected was farewell to arms while resting on one knee in the fourth round that night in 1885
 BAER IS MORE FORMIDABLE THAN WHEN HE LOST TITLE
 Oddly enough, Baer at 32 is vastly more formidable than he was at 26, at which age he was when he so unexpectedly sloughed of the corwn to Cinderella Man Braddock, after wearing 1t no more than year, and was halted by Louis.
 Baer then was at the height of wasting away as fine equipment as was ever given heavyweight.
 Ordinarily, I would pick the 26- year-old Nova to repeat against Baer, but 1t has yet to be demon- strated that the Alameda Adonis has fully recovered from the severe at- tack of septic poisoning that kept him in hospitals for Q good share of IS months.
 N ova' successful comeback against Pat Comiskey didn't prove much. He took @ l0-round verdict, but the slow-moving and slower. thinking Irishman didn't chuck many punches after the third heat.
 Nova had to be built up to such an extent that his boxing was linl- ited.
 BAER SWALLOWED BLOOD; NOVA NEEDED TRAFFIC COP
 Baer swallowed bucket of blood from an ugly gash in his lower lip in their previous excursion, June |, 1889, before he was quite eager to resign in the 11th stanza.
 But Nova was SO well whacked that he twice went to the wiring corner and stood still at the bell .. .. not knowing just where to go |. on a couple other occasions. baer maue tIle WlSthke OA uATeCts ing his entire attack to the head the first trip.
 He'll 90 after Nova's body this time.
 Baer lacked the urge before. He's got Q mad on now.
 It seems Nova told the home folks out west that MaXie was Q quitter.
 Baer has made up his mind that he can flatten Nova with such fin- ality that he and Hoffman each bet 5000 at s to 9 on the result in California. They are shopping for price on @ knockout.
 If Max Baer felt the same way about Joe Louis, Monopolist Mike Jacobs wouldn't have to worry about fall attraction.
