BY JACK CUDDY I nitrd Prf Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. May 3. The season's first intersectional baseball warfare s to fiSme on eight, major league fronts today as eastern National clubs n.' ade tne west and western American teams storm the Atlantic seaboard. Before the next cross-country shift occurs, about two weeks hence this rant-west fighting should shake up the two divisions sufficiently to reveal true relative club strengths.

In today's feature games, the champion Giants risk their National League lead in the first of a threeday series against the Pirates at Pittsburgh, and the Yankees will defend their American lead against Detroit's challenge in the opener of a three-game embroilment at New York. The Giants recaptured the National lead yesterday by shading Brooklyn, 6 to 5. while the Cubs lost again. Lefty O'Doul's pinch homer in the eighth with Terry and Ott aboard won the third straight over the Dodgers. Ott drove out his sixth homer in the third wit ine on. Warneke Stopped Pittsburgh registered its second straight triumph over the formidable Cubs, 4 to 2. Vaughan's fourbagger in the first, with a mate aboard, gave the Pirates a lead that never was headed. Chuck Klein's sixth homer accounted for one of Chicago's tallies. Heinie Meine defeated Lon Warneke in a nine-hit pitching duel. It was Warneke's first loss in four weeks. St. Louis took sole command of fifth place by completing a threegame sweep over Cincinnati. 4 to 1. The Cards collected nine hits off Frey and Lindsey, while Carleton and Dizzy Dean allowed the Reds eight. The Yanks retained first place in the American section despite their 6 to 2 beating by Washington. Joe Cronin’s outfit staged a six-run spurt in the first and breezed through behind Monte Weaver's discreet nine-hit pitching. Van Atta was blasted from the New York, mound in the first. He was followed by Murphy and Smythe. Together they allowed eleven safeties. Five Boston Errors Tliis victory enabled Washington to replace the Red Sox at fourth position when Boston bowed to the Athletics, 12 to 11, after an oldfashioned slugging match. The A s battered four pitchers for sixteen hits, including Bob Johnson's homer in the seventh. One of Boston's thirteen safeties was Bucky Walter's homer in the ninth with two on. Boston contributed five errors. Idle Cleveland replaced Detroit at second position when the Tigers lost to the Browns, 5 to 2, giving the Browns the series, two games to one. Two home runs off Vic Sorrell scored all the St. Louis runs. Burns hit for the circuit in the third with Clift aboard, and Pepper Martin did likewise in the fifth with West and Burns on ' ase. They were the only games scheduled.

Max Forgets Date to Sign for Bout Camera, Promoters and Cameras Wait for Baer in Vain. B}i r H itrrl Prr a a NEW YORK, May 3. —Max Adelbert Baer, the modest, soft-spoken, girl-shy young boxer from California. may go through the ceremony of signing lor a title bout with Primo Camera today at Madison Square Garden—if he doesn't forget. Maxie was to do the skit with Camera at the sports emporium yesterday, but the matter slipped his mind. He and his manager, Ancil Hoffman, visited Asbury Park, N. J., to look over the site of a possible training camp. Meanwhile, Camera and his brigade of attendants, Garden officials, boxing writers, movie cameramen, still cameramen, and a regiment of unidentified persons gathered at the Garden and waited several hours. They were miffed no end at Adelbert's absence. If the retiring Maxie can be enticed before the cameras today, the ceremony for the June 14 brawl will be staged. Whereafter Carnera will leave for Pompton Lakps, N. J.. to begin training, and Hoffman will decide on Asbury Park or Atlantic City for Baer's camp.

Dundee , Diamond Scrap Everybody Happy 'at Garden as Old Regime Stays On Under Mew Control. BY STUART CAMERON United Press Sports Editor

NEW YORK. May 3.—Vince Dundee is laying his middleweight title claims on the iine at Paterson tonight, meeting up with one A1 Diamond, pride of Paterson, for fifteen rounds or less. Dundee is champion as far as the United States is concerned. Europe rates Marcel Thil of France as the title-holder and the international boxing federation is not at all p’cased that we do not do likewise. It's an all-New Jersey event. Dundee is from Belleville. Vince is a 3 to 1 favorite.

The great Madison Square Garden readjustment is nearly complete with, as far as can be observed, everybody happy. Colonel John S. Hammond bought up a commanding block of shares Irom Richard F. Hoyt and it was assumed that Colonel Hammond would install himself as president, easing Colonel John Reed Kilpatrick out cf the picture. Instead. Colonel Hammond asked Colonel Kilpatrick to remain as president. While formal announcement was lacking, it is assumed that the “old gang” will stay in their respective places at the Garden, with Jimmy Johnson heading the boxing department. Keeping "Reed” was a smart move. a a e Personal opinion as to the most attractive names among the possible Kentucky Derby starters: Blue Again, Cavalcade Quasimodo and Bazaar, Least Attractive, Sergeant Byrne, Agrarian, Peace Chance and Speedmore. O tt tt Ballyhoo for the McLarnin-Ross fight centers today about the overwhelming question as to the method of conveying Jimmy's person from Seattle to New York. It appears that James wants to fly, but the nnik fund people who are putting on the show are jittery about it and want him to come by train. Pop Foster. Jimmy’s manager, contributes to the debate by insisting McLarnin have his own way. It’s a teapot tempest at best. He could leave Seattle today and be here as soon as if he took a plane on Saturday.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

CLIFFORD E. WAGONER, veteran secretary of the organization, has intimated that the district event again will be held in June if possible. There has been some talk of holding eighteen holes of the play at Speedway if possible, and there is some possibility that one of the eighteen-hole rounds of the district championship may be played at Speedway. There is little question that the entry list this year will reach a new top. We express that opinion simply because golfers have been turning out in record numbers everywhere this spring. The district association permits entrants in their tournament to play at all hours of the day, but the time has come w'hen few' more players can be crowded into the hours in one day. However, most players desire to play in the afternoon. After two rounds many of them have convinced themselves that they are out of the picture as far as leading prizes are concerned, and it has been suggested that after two days of play the association officers select players with the sixty or eighty low gross scores and permit them only to compete the third day. Another suggestion is to have the sixty low’ scorers to play in the select afternoon hours, thus making the others play in the morning. Since the district association is interested in giving its members three days of golf on three fine courses, and those who join do so with that understanding, the latter might be the better plan. In fact, we expect to hear lots of plans and solutions for the district event tomorrow. They will be passed on to you Saturday. tt tt u MRS. W. FRANK JONES, president of Pleasant Run women's golf club, expected more than forty players in the first tournament of the season today.

Marquette Track Squad to Oppose Indiana Saturday Records at Bloomington Are Threatened in Dual Meet. By Time* Speeinl 'BLOOMINGTON, Ind., May 3 Spectators at the Marquette-Indiana track meet at Memorial stadium Saturday will have a good chance to s"e some record breaking performances and to see three allAmericans in action. Several stadium records may fall. The 220-yard dash will be one of the features of the meet, with Ralph Metcalfe, the world's fastest human, matching strides with Ivan Fuqua. Indiana's co-captain and all-American. The record in this event is 2..3 seconds and it is almost sure to be erased. If Charley Hornbostel of Indiana, co-holder of the world's record in the half-mile, can get the needed competition he probably will break Hie present record of 1:54. Reports from Marquette have it that he will be pressed to the limit by Emil Kubash. who has run consistently under 2 minutes. Indiana's quartet in the mile relay (Fuqua, Hobbs. Harpold and Hornbostel), fresh from their victory at the Penn relays, will be bidding for anew mark in that event. They are certain to break the existing record if old man weather deals out anything but a snow’ or rainstorm. Marquette may make a grand slam in the 100-yard dash with such men at Ralph Metcalfe, world's record holder in that event; Paul Phillips. who has seconded the colored star in nearly all his races this year, and Dave Booth, who has been out of school a year. Outstanding Marquette field events performers include Francis Fuchs, southpaw javelin tosser wto was credited with beter than a 189foot throw against. Wisconsin; A'ex Le Grand, a sophomore, in the pole vault; Ernie Kukla, football and basketball star, in the discus; Len Mierrzwa, high-jump: Milt Trost, and Glen Elliot, shotputters, and Chet Trost, broad jump.
