Sweeney Must Hurdle
Manfredo 10 Battle
Awaiting Cannon

Army-bound Frank Sweeney had
plenty on his mind today as he got
set for tonight's eight-round brawl
with Nick Manfredo in the feature
attraction on the Turner Arena ring
card.
Late last night Joe Cannon came
to terms for a Griffith Stadium bout
with Sweeney a week from tonight.
The match has been In the making
for some months, as both 18-year-
olds went through the usual buildup,
but expected calls from Mr.. Whiskers
have rushed matters.
Meanwhile, Sweeney has to get
over the Manfredo hurdle tonight
and there is concern in some quar-
ters about his ability to do 1t. The
experienced Baltimore club fighter
can cancel the Cannon Sweeney ma
tural by licking Frank, and some
books say its 7-to-5 he can do 1t.
Plans Attack to Body.
Sweeney today got an earful from
Manager Lou Jameson on some of
the mistakes he made in his last
meeting with Manfredo, when the
Southeast sltgger was lucky to get
an eight-round duke. And Frank
is planning a body punching at
tack he neglected to employ in that
bout.
Sharing interest with the middle
weight feature. a pair of other
eights on the all-star card mean a
lot to the futures of the boxers in
volved. Frankie Wills, who attempts
a comeback against Al johnson of
Philadelphia, needs clean-cut win
If he expects to get any good bouts
in the approaching summer season.
Nothing is known about the present
physical condition Of Wills, who
once beat Al Dummy Davis.
Both Have Whipped Finazzo.
Only dope on this welter number
is that both fighters have beaten
Eddie Finazzo, the celebrated Bal
timore punching bag. johnson de-
cisioned him in six here this winter
and Wills won an eight-round de-
cision over him in Richmond in 1912.
Billy Banks, who takes on Billy
Morris in the lightweight eight, is
cunning for shot at Bobby Ruffin
and may get it If he whips Morris
decisively.
Flattop Cummings is matched
with Kid Butler in a four on to-
nights bill and another four round
er will be staged to give the card
total of five bouts over a spread of
several weight divisions.

EVANSTON, ILL.,, April 24.-That
blazing fast ball with which Bob
Feller sent so many American
League batters back to the dugout
talking to themselves few years
back will flash across the plate here
today.
Feller. now chief specialist in
the Navy, is bringing his Great
Lakes Bluejacket team here for a
practice game with the Northwest
ern Wildcats, and he plans to pitch
few innings.
But he isn't nearly so worried
about his right arm as he is about
his baseball team. The former
Cleveland pitcher, making his debut
as a coach and manager, Is plenty
skeptical.
They look pretty good, but you
can't tell what they'll do in a game"
he said today. II scheduled this one
to find out"
In his lineup today he'll have his
former teammate, Ken Keltner, on
second, and Pinky Higgins of the
Detroit Tigers on third. The re-
mainder are ''unknowns."
'I'll pitch two or three innings.
and then Johnny Corsica former
Detroit hurler) will take over" Eel
Ter said.
His appearance today will be the
first time since he went to sea two
and half years ago that he has
appeared in this country.
Feller said he already had games
with IA major league teams and six
American Association teams tenta-
lively scheduled for this year.
We'll have to go some to beat
last years Great Lakes record,
though" he added. That, by the
way, was so wins in 50 starts.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, April "a
Owners of the major leagues 16
baseball teams were to lock them
selves In a Hotel Cleveland room
today and, if some of them have
their way, they'll stay there until
they select a successor to the late
Kenesaw Mountain Lands as high
commissioner of the sport.
If they succeed in agreeing on
some one to handle the $50,000-a-
year-job, they will have taken just
one day less than five months to
make the choice.
AS the time for the meeting ap-
preached there were almost as many
persons mentioned in lobby gossip
as there were magnates at the con-
ference.
Recommendation Committee Meets.
Procedure for the days sessions
was this:
A four-man committee - Don
Barnes of the St. Louis Browns
Alva Bradley of the Cleveland In
dians, Phil Wrigley of the Chicago
Cubs and Sam Breadon of the St.
Louis Cardinals-which has been
considering a long list of possible
choices-was to meet first. They
have been attempting to agree on
recommendation to the membership,
and that's what they hoped to do
in this final session.
Two hours later the committee
was to join the full group from the
American and National Leagues,
and If IL votes from possible 16
can be mustered for one man, the
commissioner will be chosen.
Although one group of owners ex-
pressed belief they should stay in
session this time until they can
reach an agreement. some of the
'1obby sitters" considered it sig
nificant that most of the owners
already have their train reservations
to leave Cleveland tonight.

The American Council on Race Re-

100 per cent the Wagner Murray
full employment bill, which, ac-
cording to A. A. Liverright, execu-

though we do not believe that a plan

ATOMIC BOMB DISCOVERY
IS Seen AS FORCE TO
UNITE HUMANITY

CHICAGO, Aug. 80 (ANP)-
The atomic bomb has made racial
equality and brotherhood social
mandates, according to the Rev.
Samuel L. Candy at the Congrega-
tional church of the Good Shepherd
here.
Rev. Candy, who is chaplain of
Virginia State college at Peters
burg, Va, and a former pastor of
Good Shepherd church, warned
that science has developed warfare,
particularly in the last two years,
to the point that further total war
might lead to world destruction
from which no country would be
immune.
Throughout the centuries since
Christ first taught His message of
racial equality and brotherly love,
men have chosen to disregard it, but
science no longer permits such a
choice" he said.
No longer can any one racial
group dominate, whether white,
Negro, Japanese, Hindu or Chinese,
because racial domination is a road
to war. To outlaw war successfully,
we will have to remove not only ma
tional tensions but also racial ten
sions, since many national tensions
are themselves based ultimately on
the oppression of one race by an
other"

ing that Secy. of State Byrnes stat
ed that he believed in the general

ployment."
Pointing out that "lack of securi-
ty is one of the major factors in in
creasing racial tension" the Amer
ican Councils executive director
assured Sen. Wagner that the or
ganization heartily endorses the
proposed full employment legisla-
ton and is also in favor of other
