LOUIS, April 9-W-There was quite a scrambling today of plans that Promoter Mike Jacobs and Bomber Joe Louis had all lined up for the busiest summer a heavyweight boxing cham pion has ever faced. Out of Tony Musto's gallant here last night, and the way Buddy Baer made roly-poly Tony Galento holler "uncle" in Wash ington, came a complete switch in the lineup." The way things stand now, here is how Jacobs and Louis managers tentatively have agreed to go on with Joe's fight-month campaign: 1 Buddy Baer in Washington in May. 2 Ample Abraham Simon, orig inally the May opponent in a re match of a 13-round go with the Bomber in Detroit, in June in New York. 3 Billy Conn, the light-heavyweight king whose chances were helped considerably by Joe's poor showing last night, in July, prob ably in New York. 4 Old Man Par in August, be cause Joe wants a month off to play golf, especially in a tourna Dobb; ii WHAT A CLEVER IDEA ' J ' - i , S. . . ...

With the $17,468.52 he collected for last night's not-so-hot showing, along with what he picked tip in his four previous monthly trips to the post, it begins to look.. like Joe probably will keep the wolf from the door with this year's earnings. The Conn and Nova doings are ex pected to go over $200,000 . each and the others are looked to get into six figures without much trouble. ii 133 ictijriTxaii tvno teti 5 mt: rru 3ftkjrtn " " and .more Pictures Shown At Health Club BETHEL Bethel 4H health club holds a meeting each week.

Puts Defending Championship Detroits in Second Hole By WHITNEY MARTIN Associated Press Sports Writer y NEW YORK, April 9 At the risk of getting accused of becoming a creature of habit, this corner again goes on record as picking the New York Yankees to win the American league pennant. . j ! ; The choice is made with the blind optimism of a man grop ing in a sack of oysters for the one containing the pearl, and with full knowledge that at least two other stout contenders appear) right now to be more "set" for the campaign. Here's the way we'd rate them after watching five of the teams and judging the other three on what they are to have, or not to have: j ! 1 Yankees; 2 Detroit; S Cleveland; 4 Chicago; 5 Bos ton; 6 St. Louis; 7 PhlUdel phia; 8 Washington. A faltering, sub - par Yankee team finished only two games out of first place last year. Men who had shown they could hit didn't hit, and men who had shown they could pitch didn't pitch. This year they are starting with a revamped infield, including two flashy rookies. However, there is every reason to believe Gerald Priddy and Phil Riizuto will come through, and the dormant hitters of last year have shown signs of regaining their form. The pitch ing, a little on the young side, appears adequate. All in all, the team looks good. We made a slifhi error last year in picking Detroit for sev enth place, and offer no apolo gies as the Tiers looked Ilk a manager's nlfhtmsre last sprinr. This rear it is the same team, only it looks 1.000 per cent better. It has batting power all down the line, the pitching should be better, Charley Gehringer has found the fountain of youth, and the team has that mysterious something which a championship always brings. And it has Buck Newsom. If Hank Greenberg re mains, the Tigers will be tough er than a rawhide steak. The Cleveland Indians are sup posed to have bickered their way out of the pennant last year, and this year, with harmony in the - Strike Concord Q - W - The no-strike, no-lockout toria Marine Iron Works, an nounced Wednesday plans to build 10 reciprocating marine steam en gines for Plain Jane cargo vessels under a $1,000,000 maritime com mission contract.

Courteous, friendly, dependable, America's telephone serv ice is a unifying force helping to make the nation One. THE PACIFIC TELEPHONE 743 Sktte SL air, are the choice in many quar ters to come home first. They have the same fine de fensive; team. They have Bob Fel ler. Bui they don't have the plate power of the Yankees or Detroit, and Feller can't pitch every day. It still is a .question as to how much their internal strife affect ed them last year. Our guess is that it had little effect on the actual play, as a man is going to get out there and do his best If only for, his self-glorification. Figuring that the Indians wUI be little better than last year, and that the Yankees and De troit will be much better, we can't see Cleveland better than third j unless it uncovers more punch. Jimmy Dykes maneuvered his Chicago White Sox into a tie for fourth last season, and figuring that his club should be as good this year while the other part of the tie, doesn't figure to be quite as good, the Chicagoans look like they might have the bottom of the first division all to themselves. The; Red Sox still are woefully weak on the mound. They have plate sower, but their defense is leaky, and old age is catching up with them. It looks like a long season for genial Joe Cronin and Tom Yawkey. The St Louis Browns came fast last year, and figure to be an im proved club this year, even threatening the Red Sox and White Sox. The Athletics have looked good this spring, but jumping them from eighth to sev enth is not prompted so much by their possible improvement as by the apparent weakness of the Washington Senators, who have three firstline pitchers, and that's about all. So1 there they are in a nut , shell, guaranteed until April 15. so proceed at your own risk. The only thins fairly certain' is that the elfht clubs will open the season.
