CHAMP ROSS
DROPS TITLE
To Give Up Lightweight
Honors; . Will Fight
M’Larvtin Again
^EW YORK, April lt.-viy- The
lightweight division lacked a cham
pion Tuesday, but Barney Rom,
miring from the throne after one
successful title defense, may be back
later to annoy the 135-pounders.
Under suspension here for falling
to meet Lou Ambers of Herkimer.
N Y„ Ross Informed the state ath
letic commission he was relinquish
ing the title because he no longer
oould make the weight without
weakening himself
Then he announced he m ould
meet Jimmy McLamin for the
welterweight championship here
fot Mike Jacobs' 30th Century club,
probably on May 28
It was there that boxing observ
ers began to ponder. They figured
tnst a third meeting between Ross
and McLamin, In view of their two
close battles last year, would draw
at least 8250.000. They figured that
Ross perhaps preferred to take the
McLamin bout first without risking
loss of prestige in an encounter with
Ambers, the No. 1 challenger.
They figured also that should
Rosa regain the welterweight tltla,
o- even make a good showing
against McLamin. he would be In
a splendid spot to return to the
lightweight class in time to chal
lenge the new champion, posting a
forfeit as a guarantee that he could
make the class limit of 135 pounds.
In any case, they pointed to the
fact that Ross made 1361. pounds
for his successful jumoi welter
weight title defense against Henry
Woods In Seattle last week The
weight limit for the synthetic Jun
ior welterweight class Is 140 pounds
Just what will be done about the
vacant lightweight title remains to
be seen.
Brig Oeneral John J. Phelan,
rhalrman of the state athletic com
mission. Indicated the solons might
crown aa title-holder the winner of
a match between Ambers and Tony
Canaonerl. former holder of the
championship.

ALEX MORRISON says:
Trying to practice on tha course
fs dangerous, impolite and a waste
of time. These are the best rea
sons I can giro for my tip to do
your practicing away from tbs
course.
Some players have the habit of
swinging a club where they are in
danger of striking another player
or one of the caddies. Others
swing while you’re trying to make
a shot or they’ll go back to try a
putt they’re missed while other
players are waiting to shoot for
tp the green.
AH attempts to practice on the
course aTe hurried, with one eye
on passing players and the other
on where the ball might go. It's
best to practice when you want
to fix up your game, and to play
when you want to play Each
must be done in its proper place.

To Get Under Way Tuesday
Can Tigers Repeat? Thet
U Question In
American
BY WILLIAM WEEKES
CHICAGO. April 16—vP>— The
business of supplying the answers
to a set of American League ques
tions marks starts Tuesday.
The younger of the two major
leagues comes up to the beginning
of its 36th championship campaign
with two absorbing questions—can
llery Mickey Cochrane's Detroit
Tigers repeat, and who will step in
to fill the shoes of the man who
made the home run famous and
profitable. Babe Ruth.
Without putting it in so many
words. Cochrane apparently believe*
hit club, in spite of what it was un
able to accomplish against the St.
Louis Cardinals last fall, can lead
the pack home. He figures that his
pitchers art capable of accounting
, for 100 victories, and with the pros
pect of the closest tussle the league
has had in years. 100 victories should
be tmple.
The expert observers, however.
{figure that the Tigers will not get
the breaks they had laat year and
that Cleveland on the verge of
greatness for several seasons, or Joe
McCarthy's New York Yankees, or
both, may heed Detroit off. The
league's president, Will Harridge, is
not so certain that Connie Mack s
Athletics wont be the sensation of
the race.
The successor to the Great Ruth
as the magnet to attract steady
streams of trade through the turn
stiles. may turn up in durable Lou
Gehrig, overshadowed as long as
Ruth was with the Yankees, ot
Jimmy Poxx w hose success or lack
oi it. as a catcher after a brilliant
career at first base, figures to be the
make og break point in the Athlet
ics' bid.
To further heighten the fans' in
terest is the case of Joe Cronin
and Bucky Harris. Harris, iirst of
Clark Griffiths "boy wonder" man
agers at Washington, is back at the
.Senators helm, alter stops at Dc
tiolt and Boston. In his place at
Boston is Cronin, secoid of Grif
fith's prodigies, coaxed to the Red
Sox by Tom Yawkey's big bankroll
in one of baaeball'8 biggest deals.
Mack, the dean of major league
managers* Rogers Hornsby at St.
Louis, and Jimmy Dykes at Chicago,
have made no claims, oilier than
that their teams are Improved.
The opening battles, with consid
eration from the weather, figured
to entice nearly 100.00J to the four
parks.
At Detroit, where the fans ap
Krently have recovered from what
ppened in their final visit to
Navln field last fall, around 30.000
were expected. Lynwood 'School
boy) Rowe was named to start
against the Chicago White Sox.
whose hurling nominee was the 43
year-old youngster. Sad Sam Jones.
The Yankee stadium in New York
was polished up to accommodate
36.000 customers, with Vernon Go
mes. the league's leading hurler last
year, working for the home forcee.
against Wesley Ferrell and the Bos
ton Red Sox.
Cold w’eether or not, 35,000 fans
were expected at Washington where
President Roosevelt was to do the
first pitch honors, and Earl White
hill. Senator southpaw, was to op
pose either Merritt Coin or Johnny
Marcum of the Athletics With un
settled. cold weather the prospect.
£t. Louis’ inaugural with Cleveland,
figured to entertain leas than 10.0'Q
spectators. Mel Harder, the Indians’
star righthander, was slated to op
pose Buck Newsom.

Giant* and Cardinals Are
To Make History In
National
""
By HERBERT W. BARKER
NEW YORK, April 16. UPy-A long,
hard winter grudgingly gave way to
spring and the National league's 00th
oaseball season Tuesday.
Despite threats of cold weather,
fully 13&.000 tans, bundled up In
neavy overcoats, were ready to offer
a rousing welcome to the game which
expects to make a decisive come
oack, financially and artistically,
wills year.
Expert calculations point to a two
dub pennant race between the
world-champion St. Louis Cardinals
anl the New York Giants, but mana
1 gers of the other six outfits concede
uothing in advance.
Wholesale player shifts during the
winter, plus the customary “breaks,"
may leave the door wide open for a
dark-horse to come home In front.
The Chicago Cubs and Ptttsburgn
Pirates, whose winder trade seni
Guy Bush, Jim W/aver and Babe
Herman to Pitsburgh and Larry
French and Freddie Llndsfrom to
Chicago, loom as dangerous rivals
-or the favorites.
Right under the gun the league
offered a sure-fire box office natur
al at Boston, where Braves Field was
the setting for Babe Ruth’s National
league debut after 21 spectacular
years In the rival major loop.
The renewal of Ruth's personal
duel with Carl Hubbell. alender
southpaw of the New York Giants,
orought prospects of a crowd of 35,
000. The home run master first en
countered the magic In Hubbell’s le.t
arm in the all-star game last year
and went down swinging at a third
strike.
The other inaugurals—at Chicago
between the Cubs and the Cardinals,
it Cincinnati between the Reds and
whe Pirates and at Philadelphia, be
tween the Phil has and the Brook
lyn Dodgers—offered features of
.heir own.
The Cardinal*, picking Jerome
(Duszy) Dean to pitch the opening

pennant with virtually the aame ei
^embl* that nippea the Giants at

outfield. Is the only newcomer.
The Cuba, with ycung Phil Cav*r
etta replacing Manager Charley
Grimm at first base, nominated Lon
tVarneke to oppose the Dizay one in
a right-handed pitching duel which
tf.Ou) spectators planned to watch.
The Giants, fortified by Dick
Barteli at shortstop and with young
Hank Le ber in centerfield, faced
the inaugural game at Boston mere
worried about Ed Brandt's left
handed slants than the power In
Ruth's big bat.
Against the veteran Pirate array,
featuring the Waner brothers, Char

pit an untried combination in whlcn
Jim Bottomley was the only lmield
noldover. Waite Hoyt was Manager
Pie Traynor’s pitching choice with
Paul Derringer or Tony Freitas serv
:.K them up for the Reds.
Casey Stengel's Dodgers invaded
Baker Field in Philadelphia with
few new faces but a bag full of hopes
based on a fine showing during the
spring. The Phils, with Johnny Ver
ge* and Blondy Ryan Manning the
.eft side of the infield and George
Watkins in the outfield, called on
Curt Davis, who won 19 games for a
seventh place club last year to op
pose Van Lingle Mungo, Dodger

America is swinging back to rail travel,

it temporarily sacrificed—and finding
that it costs less than ever before, and
that Rail Fates have been Drastically
Cut while the Prices of almost Every

Your travel dollar will now buy twice as much
rail transportation as formerly—and if you pay
the small additional charge for Pullman ac
commodations, which, by the way, are 33 Jd%
less since the removal of the surcharge, you
have the use of air-conditioned lounge and
