LEAGUE TEAMS SCHEDULED TO START SEASON Unfavorable Weather May Delay Opening In Some Cities New York, Apr. 16. (U.R)—America’s greatest professional sport moved off to a dazzling start today , when the 16 teams of the major! league baseball circuits were sched-! tiled to begin what may be two of the closest pennant races in recent years. A cold wave extending from the middle west eastward threatened I to cause some postponements and to reduce the opening attendance., Hut unfavorable weather conditions could not remove the glamour from j the colorful sports spectacle. Wholesale revisions in personnel ; including the all-important shift of Habe Ruth from the Yankees to, the Boston Braves have given every club, even those all but certain to finish far down near the fag ends, new outlooks, new hopes, and new goals. Today’s big baseball capitals were Washington and Boston — Washington where President Roosevelt’s out-throwing will make an otherwise routine Senators-Ath-letics contest into the game oflhe day, and Boston where Ruth, trans-

* 4 TODAY’S BATTERIES The probable butteries for to- | day’s opening: American League: Chicago at Detroit: Jones and I Sewell; Rowe and Cochrane. Philadelphia at Washington: Dietrich or Marcum ami Foxx: Whitehill and Bolton. Boston at New York: W. Ferrell or Ostermueller and R. Ferrell ; Gonez and Dickey, Cleveland at St. Louis: Hardfl er ami Pytlak: Newson and ; I Hemsley. National League St. Louis at Chicago: J. Dean j and Delancey; Warneke and ' I, Hartnett.

Baseball experts, including the ’ professionals of the typewriters J and the more important fans, already have decided that the National league race will be fought out ( by the world champion St. Ixiuis Cardinals ami the New York Giants with Chicago’s Cubs and the Pir- ( ates of Pittsburgh furnishing major f opposition. Similarly they have named the ' New York Yankees as likely to de- f throne Detroit as tops in the Am- ( ' erican. and with Boston and Cleve- ? land most dangerous among the re- j maining six teams. But "Xpert and fan alike had to t look back no further than last seas- a on whe nthe scored a stir- j prise triumph, the Senators did a u startling droop and the Giants col- s lapsed in favor of St. Louis to find j precedent for contemiT’lg that any- „ thing may happen. ( So while the fans were waiting 5 for the president and for mayors a to comply with an ancient custom they settled down to debate some . <1 problems which woh't be determ- <1 ined for many weeks. Some of ( them: a 1. The help (if any) Babe Ruth J will give the Braves, and were the Yanks smart in letting him go. j 2. The number of games to be v won by the amazing Deans. Jay t I Hanner (Dizzy) and Paul (Daffy), i pitchers extraordinary of the Card- n inals. i 3. The real value of the deal ' which brought shortstop Dick Bar- i I tell to the Giants. 4. Will Lynwood (Schoolboy) Rowe’s earlier start with the Tigers enable him to beat his 1934 pitching record of 24 victories. 5. Night baseball to be given an • t < official test in "Cincinnati—will it catch on and will it spread to oth- *' ... d er cities. If the experts know anything the ‘ Ruth matter is settled: He will aid j the Yankees because he wont be in right field to drop flies at the wrong time; he will help the 1 Braves at the box office (and how they need help there!) but not in the games won column. The pitching debates are of the t, age-of-. Ann and the height-of-up \ variety. Dizzy trld the writer in r Miami that the Deans would win w 40 games: "Me 20 and Paul 20’’, [ but he’s revised his estimate up- t, ward and downward a dozen times e since. Why not? Just guesswork. So is the Rowe problem. He start- j, ed more than one month late last t year and won 24. Now he's ready P to go on opening day. He looked p like a millio ndown in the grape- , fruit belt. Put will he get the in- c spired support that helped him win n so consistently last year? n Bartell should help the Giants

Immeasurably. He’s a better shortstop than was Travis Jackson last year, and Jackson, moved to third. Is a better mun there than was Johnny Vergez. o ROSS DESERTS CHAMPIONSHIP Barney Ross Asks To Retire From Lightweight Competition New York. April 16 (U.R) — Barney Roas’ request that he bo allowed to shed the world lightweight championship and meet Jimmy McLarnin for the welter! title, and Max Baei s insisti iict | that a substitute be named for James J. Braddock us challenger for the heavyweight title, today brought the New York boxing commission into its most important meeting in a decade. Ross’ desertion of the 1.35-pound throne —third such abdication in the history of the division—in itself was enough to send the three| commissioners into a whirlwind of activity. Their problem was intensified by Ancil Hoffman, discontented manager of Baer who is trying to find away out of the Braddock fight. and irascible Madison Square Garden officials determined to hold him to his contract. To clear up the lightweight situation the commission has announced that Lou Ambers, established a« outstanding chal’enger., will be tossed against Tony Can-' zoneri. from whom Ross won the title in June. 1933. and possibly others. Madison Square Garden already has started plans for the Canzoneri match, tentatively set for May 10. Rof>;’ decision to quit as 13.5-1 nound kingpin thus eliminates | his scheduled defense for the 20th Century Sporting Club headed by Mike Jacobs, but this causes I Jacobs no great grief. No sooner had Ross announced that he would follow Jack McAuliffe of the late 90s and Benny j Leonard of a few years ago into' i undefeated retirement, than Jacobi signed him for his third fight with ! Jimmy McLarnin. with the welter-1 weight title at stake and the bout I to he held at the Polo grounds [ May 28 if the commission will agree to that date. The heavyweight muddle was | definitely in the commission's lap. i dropped there by Hoffman and I Garden officials who could not I agree on Baer’s title defense in I June. They went into secret session j yesterday but declined to reveal i what was brewing, further than to indicate that Hoffman was trying to wiggle out of the Braddock match because he didn’t believe it would draw a worthwhile gate. Berne Bears Card Emerson Os Gary Judson Erne, coach of the Berne Bears, has announced an additional game for the 1935-36 basketball team. Emerson of Gary, one of the outstanding teams in the Calumet district, will play at Berne February 8. The Bears will play a return game at Gary during the following season. Three Local Boxers Will Fight Tonight Three of Decatur’s finest will go | into action at the G. E. club in Fort Wayn? Tuesday night. Lloyd Conrad. 1935 Golden Glove middleweight champion, is elated to meet Delbert Hutton of Richmond. Hutton is 1935 Golden Glove title hold-1 er at Indianapolis.

D catur’s promteing lightie, is on the books for a fight with Johnny Marty of Richmond. Seven Tore contests will ibe staged making a gntnd total of ten matches of three rounds oich.

Official government thermometers registered 29 above at Vincennes, in Knox county, early today. Justin said that Indianas peach crop was valued at $814,000 in 1931. and at nearly $400,000 last year. There are approximately 800,000 peach trees in the state. I Smudge pots used by the peach growers raise the temperatures as I much as five degrees unless a wind iis blowing. If the cold is accom- ! panied by high winds, the pots are

"We are sick and tired of lhes“ Washington messages," he continued. "We are doing the United Statics government a favor when 1 we let them do business with us." Ickes was quoted in Washington as saying that interference by stale courts with the New Orleans sewerage and water board, whichis headed by Mayor T. Semmes Walmsley, arch foe of Ixmg,. would cause withdrawal of federal funds. The board is empowered to spend the allotment. “The monev has already been .

WIND EROSION CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE H. Umberger. W. E. Grimes, and Dean W. E. Grimes of Kansas, state college. Reclamation plans in the five states contemplate broad scale listing of eroded sections to form a barrier against prevailing winds. The work must be carried out on a regional basis to be effective, { the experts said. Harry L. Hopkins, federal relief administrator, assured the conferees that the iFERA would undertake a five-state survey to determine how mnch federal money wound tbe neqquired to halt wind erosion. Federal money will be used to supply oil and gasoline for tractors used in the listing project. VETS TO FIGHT CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE cates immediately. Veterans who cashed certificates through government bonds would lose the interest on their bonds between the time of cashing them and their date of maturity. President Roosevelt is opposed to immediate bonus payments because of the strain on the federal treasury. He fears ths government's credit would be jeopardized. Harrison said that his plan, which would give the administrai tion three years in which to arrange financing, would not neces- [ sitate new taxation. He said he had assurance the President would approve his bill. The compromise Is being urged as a means of ending the bonus ! controversy. The adjusted ser- - vice act was passed in 1925 over ! President Coolidge's veto after ■ exactly the same arguments had been advanced in its behalf.
