By United Press CHICAGO, April 10—Baseball came back to Chicago today and with it was Jimmy Dyke’s promise to put the White sox in the first division for the first time in 16 years. The National League Champion Chicago Cubs were scheduled to meet the Sox at Comiskcy Park in the second section of the annual city aeries. The frisky Cubs won two out of three bos Angeles exhibition games from their American rivals. “I pick the white Sox to finish in the first division,” Dykes said here last evening. "We won’t be setups for any team, and I really think we’ll land at least as high as fourth place.” The Sox dropped back into the second division last year after threatening the leaders for weeks. With the exception of no A1 Simmons, the White Sox roster is about the same as a year ago. Mike Kreevich, a stocky outfielder brought up from Kansas City, is the outstanding rookie. Monty Stratton, a six-foot five-inch right-handed pitcher, and Joe Morrissey, 31-year-old third base recruit, arc the others.

Wallace O. Lee, chairman of the committee, said the members were making every effort to assist the club management in winning the eastern division attendance prize for opening day. Since the opening is on Sunday none of the usual opening-day fanfare is being planned by the committee. Merchants of the city have been asked to make special baseball opening displays. Attention of luncheon clubs and other organizations is being called to the opener. Mr. Lee said today that there is a possibility that Miss Colleen Moore, now in the city wtih her famous doll house, would attend a part of the game if the special showing of the doll house for underprivileged children of the city was completed in time for her to reach the ball park. The committee is planning additional activities designed to support the team after the season gets under way.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Thompson Is ! Fistic Victor Big Elza Scores 5-Rounu Decision Over Coffelt in Amateur Go. Elza Thompson, giant Negro product of the local 1936 Golden Gloves Tournament, today towers over the amateur heavyweight ranks in this section looking for formidable competition. The 225-pound Washington A. C. mauler last night shoved his way to a decision over Jack Coffelt, Fort Harrison, in the five-round windup on the Roy Wallace boxing show at Tomlinson Hall. Coffelt, who lost his 1935 Golden Gloves title to big Elza in the winter tourney, again failed to get inside the barricade of elbows and forearms last night. No damaging blows were registered by either fighter, Thompson repeating his first victory by swarming over his smaller opponent. A quintet of Lafayette Golden Gloves fighters scored triumphs in supporting bouts. Sock Kurtz, former Purdue gridder, won the fourround semi-windup from Ivan Hunt, Terre Haute southpaw. The Boilermaker light-heavy lost the first round apd was held even in the next two before he could solve the peculiar style of the left-harder, but decisively won the final frame. A straight, stinging left-hand jab gained a decision for Steve Baccarach, Purdue freshman, in his three-round fight with hard-punch-ing George . Hoyt, Puritan Bed Springs middleweight. Lester Douglass, Lafayette featherweight, scored a technical kayo over Chuck Miller, Terre Haute, in the first minute of their match. A right swing to the head floored the redheaded scrapper. Bob Wallace, Lafayette welterweight, won a close decision from Merle Roberts. Wally Ricks, Indianapolis Star lightweight, lost the first two rounds to Carl Hamilton, Lafayette, in the opening match, but uncorked a furious attack in the final round that almost won him the match. In other bouts, Dave Norris, lightweight, decisioned Don O'Day and Joe Faccone outpointed Charley Bruck, Brightwood featherweight. DUSEK, COX DRAW By United Pres s CAMDEN, N.
