Tonight's Boxing
Show Has Star Card
Crump Meets Schwemmer In
Main Go-Six-Round Semi
Final Matches Wade Against
Yukes-Good Prelininaries.

The long awaited local appearance
of Charlie Crump, colored heavy
weight, who not only is cousin
of worlds heavyweight champion,
Joe Louis, but is also reported to
work like him in the ring, will
materialize at the Armory tonight,
when he stacks up against Jim
Schwemmer in the eight-round
main go.
Schwemmer needs no introduction
to local fight fans, who saw him
score a decisive victory here on
March 8. Since then he knocked
out Billy Moore in four rounds and
is reported to be in the pink of
condition.
Crump also has an enviable rec
ord, including II wins via the KO
route, and is managed by a pretty
shrewd man, Heine Blaustein, who
also manages the former bantam
weight and featherweight champion,
Harry Jeffra.
The always popular colored fight
err, Melvin Wade, who has an I'M
broken string of victories in the
local ring, will meet Mike Yukes
in the six-round semi-fnal and a
couple of four-rounders are also on
tap.
The biggest crowd of the season
is expected, so, if you haven't al
ready got your ticket, you'd better
get out to the Armory bright and
early, in order to be sure of a seat.

Unless something is done, and
done quickly, to the infield at the
Stadium, you are not only going to
see more infeld miscues than you
ever saw before, but lot of ball
players are. going to be hurt as well.
The whole infield, with the ex-
ception of the pitchers mound and
the catcher's box (Which are in ex-
cellent shape) has been covered with
some sort of withholding top
dressing that has made it as hard as
nails and is causing the ball to take
all sorts of crazy hops Further than
that, the lack of any give in the in
field, is making it particularly hard
on both base runners and fielders.
With the opening game just a
week off, manager Bunny Griffith is
gradually getting his squad into
shape.
The infeld situation was cleared
up considerably on Monday, when
John Zydowsky (who was sent in by
the Chicago Cubs) reported to Grit
fifth and Immediately took over the
first base chores, up till that time
the weakest spot in the club. It is
far too early to make any predic-
tons about the Owls. So far, I have
seen Sunbury and York in exhibit
ton games and that's all. When /
have seen all eight teams in action
in league competition, then I'll make
my prediction as to where the Owls
will finish. But I can go this far
now. l am satisfied that Bunny Grit
fifth is going to keep his team hust-
ling and team that keeps hustling
all the time and doesn't just quit
because a few errors are made, is
going to be tough team to keep
out of the first division.
The Owls wind up their exhibition
games on Saturday and Sunday,
when they tangle with Dutch" Dor
mans Hartford Senators, of the
Eastern League Saturdays game
will be played under the lights
(weather permitting), but Sundays
game will be played in the after
noon.
