Mr.. Field had been free in

summer home last night after
Judge Swan reversed his previous
bail order.
Mr.. Hunton and Mr.. Hammett,
author of the Thin Man" stories,
had been unsuccessful in attempts
to post $4,000 bail each in their
lSix-month Jail sentences. Federal
Appeals Judge Learned Hand. re-
gerSing himself, revoked this bond
yesterday as the two were in their
second week behind bars. Judge
Swan-with Judge Hand concur
ring-ruled that the trustees had
not co-operated with the Govern
ment as they should have. Judge
Swan explained that forfeiture OF
bail money does not end a bonds
mans obligation, but that a
bondsman must help it find a
fugitive.
In sentencing the three trustees,
Judge Ryan held that Identities
lof contributors to the congress

the four fugitives.
A result of the bail jumping
was the outlawing of the Civil

Racing legislation, denounced as

McKeldin's hands today.
The Senate passed overwhelm-
ingly just before last midnight

The result of a series of hear
ings, conferences between track
operators and legislative COM
mittees, plus a raft of amend
ments, the measure would:
/. Raise the take on bets at
harness and half-mile tracks
from 10 to IL per cent. With a
sliding scale for track shares. this
would net each of the four tro5-
ting plants an estimated 100000
and the five half-milers $4,000
apiece.
2. Give harness track breakage

3. Guarantee the State Fair

throughout Maryland, $250,000
annually. It's support from racing
revenues has declined in the last

Bill Shormon Formed Out

MIAMI, Mar. 80. -Outfelder
Bill Sharman, the pro basketball
player who gives promise of de-
veloping into baseball star, has
been farmed out by the Dodgers
to Fort Worth of the Texas League.
He was one of five rockies cut

Sharman, a baseball and basket

played with the Washington Caps
last season and was one of the
teams standouts with his one
handed push shot. When the
Caps broke up he was awarded to
Fort Wayne, but chose to go home

Siar Sioff, Correspondent.

CLEARWATER, Fla, Mar. 3d.
A tender leg muscle which kept
Cass Michaels out Of yesterdays
game may keep him out of many
more, for into his second-base job
gingerly stepped Gene Verble, and
what he showed Bucky Harris has
caused a sudden switch in think
ing.
The Mats manager had ex-
pressed willingness to let Michaels
battle his way out of batting
slump. He was going to be con-
tent to string along with Cass and
hope for improvement. but the
former White Sox second sacker
suffered mild recurrence of leg
injury in practice yesterday and
so Verble was pressed into service.
Verble, a slight 150-pounder,
capitalized on the opportunity to
such an extent that Bucky said:
Maybe he'll wake up somebody
around here. I know if he was
competing for my job, I'd perk up
Immediately. Names don't mean

Understand, I'm not giving up
on Michaels, but Verble now is
going to get a shot a. playing
second base. He's in the running
because I like his determination
He's out to make good and ] love
Iit."
Harris dismisses lightly the fact
that Verble hit only .279 with
Atlanta last season. Bucky is
operating on results and Verble is
batting 1868. The Mats pilot is
aware that Verble supposedly is
out of position at second base
he was a shortstop last year-but
Harris saw Gene figure in two
swift double plays yesterday as
the Mats took an 81 decision over
the Red Sox at Orlando and
Bucky, an old second baseman
himself, is enthusiastic.
Verble was sensation as he
hit two doubles and a single,
batted across three runs, scored
another and handled nine chances
f1awlessly. Gene particularly
sparkled on windblown pop fly

NEW YORK, Mar. 30.-Two OF
the rings busiest fighters. Cuba S
Kid Gavilan, welterweight con-
tender, and Gene Hairston, rising
young middleweight, clash in the
main 10 rounder at Madison
Square Garden tonight.
(The fight at 10 pm. will be
broadcast in Washington by
Radio Station WMAL and tele-
cast by Station WNBW.)
Gavilan is the 7-to-5 choice to
avenge an old defeat and run his
current winning streak to seven.
Hairston, a 22-year-old deaf
mute. hasn't lost in 13 months.
A 12-win, one-draw streak has
boosted the strong New York
Negro into the No. 6 spot in the
middleweight division.
Last Before Bratton Bout.
This probably will be the 25-
year-old Cuban's last fight before
he takes on Johnny Bratton, the
NBA welterweight champion, in a
title scrap in the Garden May 18.
Matchmaker AL WE'LL of the In
ternational Boxing Club will seek
New York's title sanction for the
fight today. He probably will
get it.
That makes it doubly impor-
tant for Gavilan to win.
People seeing title fight expect
to see a winner" the practical
Cuban, said. More people come
to see me fight if beat Hairston
Hairston good fighter, but maybe
I not in best shape when I lose
to him. Now I'm in best shape
of last couple of years. I win"
Hairston, of course, has the
same optimistic attitude. The
youngster, a good body puncher
with an aggressive style, is re-
garded as the middleweight divi-
sion's most promising contender.
He is being groomed for a crack
at the title. Right now Champion
Ray Robinson is far too good for
him. And that's no criticism.

Support of the Celler Bill, which
would revamp the municipal small

facturers Association.
The association board, which
unanimously voted its approval oi
the measure, was particularly ir
favor of provisions of the bill
which would increase to 5000 8
month the exemption before 9
defendants salary could be garni-
sheed, and the section providing
Tor judgment in favor of the de.
fendant if judge decides the
plaintiff acted in bad faith" al
the time of the sale.
The association sharply criticized
concerns that use "easy credit
tactics, blames them for heavy
labor turnover, due to workers
quitting their jobs to avoid pay
garnishment.
The bill. first introduced last
year by Representative Celler
Democrat, of New York. has yet to
be acted on by the House. A
similar bill has been introduced
in the Senate by Senator Pastore,
Democrat, of Rhode Island.
Municipal Court judges disap-
proved the bill last week by a vote
of II to 2. A special three-judge
committee reporting on the legis-
lation complained the bill would
increase the case load at court
and complicate court procedure.
They expressed a fear the "bad
faith provision. the most contro-
versial part of the bill, might be
unconstitutional.
