rounds as two Cardinals and Cav
alier fell by the wayside.
Lenny Baritone, chubby feather

lose, bowling to Edwin Ourso of
Southwestern Louisiana Institute in
the opening round. In the dual meet
between the schools earlier in the
season Ourso won a decision over
Ted Mandris in the 120-pound class,
despite cut eye which forced Off
cials to halt the match at the end
of the second round.
Huck Hughes, Catholics welter-
weight contender, suffered a badly
gashed eye during a free-swinging
melee in the first round with Penn
States Bobby Baird and the referee
promptly halted the action.
Virginias S average for the opening
day was reduced to mere 500 when
127-pound Clarence Callahan lost
to Roy Amedee of Louisiana State.

For Two Tribe
|Moundsmen
Sundro, Just Bought
From Yonks, Likely
To Face Giunts
By stan Correspondent Of The star.

MIAMI, March %. - Stephen
Richard Sundra, late of the Yankees,
was en- route to join the Mats to-
day and any hour now Manager
Bucky Harris hopes to welcome
fresh vagabonds, preferably couple
from the Cleveland Indians.
In their grim quest for more
pitching, President Clark Griffith
and Harris tossed a lump of cash
into the lap of the Yankees Mr..
Ed Barrow and got Sundra yester-
day. Momentarily, the same pair of
buyers are expecting to flip some
coin in the direction of millionaire
Alva Bradley of Cleveland and pick
up some more castoffs.
The Indians repeatedly have IS
pitchers who cannot be farmed out
without first being waived upon and
they are expected to carry no more
than II. This means that four
must be put on block and Harris
is hoping these hurlers include some
gents named Bill Zuber, Calvin
Dorset and Donald Pulford. There
also is an infielder or two who may
be claimed.
INFESTED With Yanks.
1t may even develop that further
dealing may be done with the
Yankees, but this. is more or less
remote following the purchase of
Sundra for an undisclosed amount
of money. AS a rule, ball club
doesn't sell more than one player
at a time to the same buyer be-
cause of possible embarrassments
later in the season.
Harris was elated with the Sundra
deal The big, 30-year-old right
handler from Luxor, Pa, has a good,
high, hard one His four-year rec
ord with the Yankees Che only
pitched two innings in 1885, IS
81 victories as against only II de-
feats but. by and large, Steve is
untested because he was pitching
for one of the greatest clubs Of
all times and then not steadily.
AS soon as he arrives. Sundra will
be put to work, possibly here over
the week end. If not, he definitely
will work in one of the three re-
naming games at Orlando.
To Renew Giant Feud.
The Mats today were to face the
Phillies, with Dutch Leonard and
Jim Dean pitching. Tomorrow they
will renew their spring feud with
the Giants, who won two straight
games from them earlier in the
month at Orlando.
The two defeats by the Giants
represent tWo-thirds of the defeats
sustained during the Grapefruit
League campaign by the Griffmen,
who have won seven and generally
have played better ball than ex-
pected by all except Griffith.
All they need, according to the
old gentleman. is more pitching and
he's spat on his hands and is 60
ing to work to find those hurlers.

to pick up, but any day now frankie
