What has it got that makes babies cry for it and old men cry like babies. Well, we can't tell yon right here but If you want to find out drop around to Sweetland field Monday night, pay your money, pick yourself out one of the nice comfortable seats right behind home plate (come early for that) and stick around for a while. You'll find out. From all indications its go- lag to be. a speedier league this year. The old party lines have been discarded and the good talent has been shifted around hither and thither and yon n- " til every team has n few of the former hot shot stars. Judg ing from the spring league the pitching is much better this year and the new inseam ball tends to make things faster, If possible, than ever before. "Spec" Keene and Max Page, a couple of fine, honest gentlemen, will draw the names out of the hat that will tell the waiting mob who will play Monday night. We haven't been informed who will furnish the hat unless It's the Man's Shop which has a team in the league. From rumors that come to our ears it seems the Pa per Mill, where the boys are so used to handling paper that a few pasteboards is nothing at all, will win the ticket marathon and be one of the teams in the first game. The rest will have to take their chances on being all dressed up with no place to play. The Statesman-Legion base ball school will get into its see ond week this week and you can find out from any lad that it's a walloping success. The more than 100 boys who come out every Monday, Wednesday and Friday are learning more about baseball than they'd pro bably learn in si lifetime if they didn't attend . such . n school. This week's first session will be held Monday at 10 o'clock on dinger field. Ability trials will be held Wednesday and Al Bechet, president of the Sena tors, has . donated a bunch of sweatshirts to give to the best performers.

Braddock for the world's heavyweight title. probably the last week In Septem ber at the Yankee stadium. That Schmeling will return to Germany via the Zeppelin airliner, Hindenburg, leaving here j next Tuesday night. That Braddock, with his, Judg ment of Louis and the negro a vulnerability sustained, stood at the head of the heavyweight class without any apologies being of fered for him, for the first time since he knocked the crown off the curly head of Max Baer a year ago.

Braddock, posing with Schmel ing during the post-mortem pro ceedings, took the German's right fist the weapon that exploded the myth of Louis Invincibility and said: "Take good care of that. Max. until September. You will need it." Schmeling seized the onnortun- ity to rub in his pre-battie state ments which got such scant at tention beforehand. "From the pictures I knew Louis could be hit with a right cross or a short Tight, delivered from a crouch," repeated Max. i Profits on Fight Relatively Small NEW YORK.
