NATIONAL LEAGUE WELL BOLSTERED FOR NEW SEASON Outlook for Sensational Championship Race in Senior Circuit Giants Remain Important Factor NEW YORK, March 30. (AP) The National league la flying lta own blue eagle this aprlng, testifying to a recovery program already well un der way. Since Vie Giants regained world championship prestige for the old guard last fall, new owners have taken hold of the tatl-end Cincinnati Reds, three pennant challengers have forfeited their lineups at consider able expense and four new managers have taken charge of splrng drills. Sensational Race Looms The combined outlook Is for a sensational championship race, with the Giants picked as the club to beat and the Pittsburg Pirates looking most Impressively among four real rivals of Bill Terry's aggressive out fit. Baseball men do not figure It Is In the book for the Giants' pitching staff to repeat Its marvelous 1033 performances, especially as the aid of the heady Gus Mancuso behind the bat will be missed for at least another month. However, t,hose who think the New Yorkers were In over their heads, getting all the breaks last season, may get the surprise of thetr lives. The club will not give up without the hardest kind of a fight and Terry's Intention to make every spot count Is demonstrated by his abrupt trade of George Davis, oenterflelder, to the Cardinals for the hard-hitting George Watklns, Pirates Real Class The Pirates, despite erratic pitch ing, finished second last year. Out side of the box the Bucs have more all-around class than any other club In tbe league and the addition of Red Lucas figures to give the hurling department Just the workhorse It needs. - The Waners, Lindstrom, . Vaughan, Traynor and Suhr contrib uted to the league's highest-powered batting order, not excepting even the Chicago Cubs. , Chuck Klein's addition to t'ie Chi cago outfield, at a cost of 138,000, figures to pay substantial dividends. Much also Is expected from a rookie pitcher, Dick Ward, and George Stain back,' an expensive , outfield recruit, Jf the Cubs' pitching veterans, such . as Bush, Malone and Root, can com bine a return to form, pennant cal culations probAbly will have to be revised. The St. Louis Cardinals and Boston Braves both figure to be In the pen nant scramble, making It a five-cornered affair for the second straight MODEST MAX SORRY FOR GERMANY'S CINEMA FANS GLOB IN '0, LAKE TAHOJ5, Calif., March 30. (JP) Max Baer, heavy weight boxing championship conten der and self-styled "great lover" of the screen is sorry for the women and children of Germany, he said today, because his moving picture, "The Prize Tighter and the Lady" has been banned from German theaters. "They didn't ban the picture be cause I had Jewish blood," the form er Llvermore, Cal,, butcher said. "They banned It because Z knocked out Mx Schmellng. "It doesn't make much difference to me, but I'm sure sorry for the wo men and children of Germany. Too bad they won't get a chance to tee the world's greatest lover and world's greatest fighter in action." Baer, who la encamped at this lake side resort training for his heavy weight title bout with Prlmo Cac nera next June, was up at the crack1 of dawn today and hiked five miles over mountain trails as a part of his conditioning grind. I year, chiefly because each has un usually strong pitching prospects, The Cardinals also have enough speed and power to lift the club to the top, providing the Dean boys, Tex Carle- ton, Bill Hallahan and Jesse James all come through In the box. Virgil Davis, the slugging backstop, Is the principal addition. Ilraves Miss "Rabbit" T,he Braves will sorely miss their veteran pepper-box, Rabbit Maran- vllle, the victim of a broken leg In an exhibition game two days ago, but Manager Bill McKechnle has come up with another pitching "find," clarence Pickerel, to aid an already well-balanced staff. New pilots have taker the helm of the other three National league clubs but all any of them can hope for Is that he will keep his outfit from last place. Of the trio, Bob O'Farrell's Cincinnati Reds, occu pants of the cellar in 1633, have shown the most Improvement, espe cially In hitting, but It Is a question how consistently the pitching staff will help, .headed by Paul Derringer, Si Johnson, Dazzy Vance, Larry Ben ton and Sylvester Johnson. Casey Stengel, new boss of the Brooklyn Dodgers, also has limited pitching prospects, with a staff built around Van Mungo, and lacks real batting drive. The Phillies, handi capped now by the absence of Dick Bartell with a spike wound, pin their .hopes on Jimmy Wilson's abil ity to get results from a flock of erratic pitching arms. The club also Is gambling on the ability of two new Infleldera to come through. It will miss the sluggingof Davis and Klein. SIM GOLFER BALSTAD TO PROFESSIONAL PATH ?

(AP) The slmon-pures have lost another top notch golfer from their ranks In the decision of Lester Bolstad to become a professional. It was only two years ago that the blond Bolstad Insisted he would never turn pro, "I'd give up golf before I would turn pro," he said. "When you are a pro It takes the fun out of the game. ' It then has become a business." But that was two years ago. Now, ns winner of state and national titles he has plunged Into the money side by taking over the post as pro at the westwood Hills course hero. His decision, he says, was prompt ed by difficulties In obtaining a sat- I factory job or establishing himself In business. Bolstad first appeared on the golf .horizon when, as a youngster, he won the national public links title at BuffAlo, N. Y. Since then he has copped both the Minnesota amateur and open crowns. As a student at the University of Minnesota he bag ged the western conference cham plonshlp. By A LAP? GOULD Associated Press Sports Editor The feeling of the multitude seems to be that Max Baer, the dance and dynamite man from California, will end the foreign hold on he heavy weight championship, a situation that years ago would have troubled men's sleep but today causes little or no excitement. But the cozy men about the prize ring aren't so certain that Baer, the bomber, ts going to march in on Prlmo Camera and heave right .hands into him as he did Max Scbmellng last summer and with the same dev astating effect. They know that Baer, since his leap In the limelight, ,has done everything possible to dull the edge of his fighting blade. . Curly-headed Max hasn't been In a gymnasium In eight months. He hasn't done a lick of training. He has been shadow boxing around with night life, -motion pictures. but came right back to square the count and left the ring after an hour's see-saw grappling still on even terms with the Seattle slugger. Hansen used 40 minutes In time and all he knows of the mat game to subdue Wolfe for the first fall. The tumble came as a result of a quick backward body-slam after the wiry Texan had been softened with a series of elbow smashes. Wolfe came back strong for the second, fall and forced Hansen to re sort to his fists and knees to keep his shoulders off the mat. Referee Prlsbte offered Wolfe the match be cause of Hansen's slugging, but the Texas boy refused. With the crowd yelling for Hansen's scalp, Wolfe got an opening for his rolling scissors, and rubbed Charlie's shoulders on the mat, squaring the match. The i fall came In 12 minutes. Hansen was slow In leaving the ring and re quested five minutes' additional rest WICHITA, Kans., March 30. yp) Take it from the father of basket ball, Dr. JamesNal&mlth, girls should not play the tom-boy game, and the ' vlxltnr than t.Ytm man' In Hia views were expressed at a dis cussion conducted In connection with the women's national A.

(AP) The r.'iarp click of billiard balls In Eugllsh saloons Is yielding to the hurried blff-bat of a small celluloid ball. Table tennis Is looming as a sort ous rival to billiards as the pastime of the British beer drinker. A number of British saloon keep ers who heretofore provided billiard tables for their customers' pleasure1 now offer table tennis equipment In stead. Popularity of the game Is not lim ited to the saloon. The English Ta ble Tennis association now has 2Cv 000 registered players, and thou. sands more are not listed.

' Papa Levy Issues Warning Old Papa Levy, who aged 20 years In the 24 months or so that he hand died Battling Slkl, the slnguar Sene galese, is one of these. Now, Levy has no reason to be fond of Camera. For the past ten years whenever and wherever Tommy Lough ran fought, there was Papa bevy, in his corner, seconding him, minding him, fighting with him and for him. Levy was seconding Tommy when the former light heavyweight cham pion lost to Camera In Florida. He thinks Tommy might have fought a little differently and won. But be takes no credit from Camera. Prlmo An Amu zing Boxer "The big fellow Is an amazing boxer," he aaya. "Tommy hit him with right hand punches on the chin because he feinted htm out of posi tion, got his hands down, and then let him have It. .Loughran could do that because .he's a master boxer. It took a great boxer to do It. Now how good a boxer Is Baer?" The answer there Is that two years ago Loughran took Baer and tied him into knots, had him so dumbfound ed and flabbergasted that Max, near tthe end of the match, dropped his hands, stood In mid-ring and grinned ruefully to the spectators 'as though Inviting a suggestion from them as to what might be done with the pesky fellow in front of him. "Don't forget, it takes a boxing genius to reach a chin as high up and as far away as Camera's. Don't go off the deep end on Baer. He can't box. Camera won't be a mark for him. We'll still be looking for a fellow to whip the Italian giant after Baer has had his chance." Wolfe granted the extra time and Hansen returned to the ring In good shape. Both wrestlers tried hard for the deciding fall, but the gong ended the match with honors divided, The bout was one of the best ever seen In a local ring. There was more wrestling and not quite so much of the usual "color," although Hansen showed enough meanness to keep the partisan fans tattling to Referee Ray Frlsble. Husky Swede Anderson, a product of southern Oregon gridiron wars, cracked one of Tommy Thompson's ribs, and won his match with the St. Louis heavyweight In the lower bracket of the double main event. Thompson won the first fall In 12 minutes with a series of elbow wal lops and a body press. Anderson returned to the ring for the second Joust and swarmed all over his more experienced opponent. Thompson held his own for a few minutes, but the Swede finally caught him with a series of savage Sonnenbergs and evened the bout. Thompson limped to the dressing room and did not return for the third fall, forfeiting the match to Anderaon. It was announced from the ring that one of the St. Louis man's ribs had been broken by one of Anderson's lunges. Pat Shaw, 147, was not strong enough for Henry Gunter, 172, drop- ing a fall In the first round of their three-round curtain raiser. The boys are novices from Grants Pass. Schmeling Iniures Hand In Training BARCELONA. Spain, March 30. (jP) Max Schmellng. former world's heavyweight champion, fell today in training for a bout with Paolino Uz cudun, and injured his hand. The German, who is training In nearby Sitges, Is scheduled to fight April 8, but doctors did not know whether It would be necessary to postpone the bout. -rT CTV 1 TIRE " !S7VcV" ALL THESE Combined in One!

(AP) The question of how much age has cut in on Mickey Walker, former world's welter and middleweight cham pion, had not been adequately an swered today. The Rumson, N. J. bulldog gave Tom Patrick, a local heavyweight, quite a fancy lacing last night be fore 4200 persons at the Legion sta dium to win a 10-round decision. His timing still was near perfect.

But don't bet on their tastes. They like to experiment. And generally it's a good thing they do, or there never would be much variety in foods at home.

As usual many claims, most of which are unsupported by unbiased experi mental research are being submitted to grow ers which suggests that the interests of the community at large in the coming crop, should cautiously and carefully assemble the facts based upon individual experience as to the products which will not only safely pro duce control but which will do it at the lowest possible cost. Again we state "Why You should use S-W Arsenate of Lead" "to produce a crop of apples and pears with the minimum amount of worm damage and with the maximum packout in extra fancies all accomplished with the minimum of expense, including the problems of washing." Maximum Toxicity Sherwin-Williams Dry Powdered Arsenate of Lead has the reputation of being the most successful product for the control of Codiing Moth as is evidenced by the tremendous number of users who realize that something more than a chemical combination is neces sary to secure this control. They realize that because of the higher than average toxicity, results are secured almost instantaneously and which is obtained only because of the very superior physical properties of Sherwin Williams Arsenate of Lead. Through an extensively equipped labora tory located in Yakima, Sherwin-Williams Arsenate of Lead has been developed to meet Pacific Northwest conditions, has constantly been improved and today it represent the last word in efficient killing strength, at the same time its durable adhesion of a maximum arsenic deposit thoroughly protects the fruit, yet washing easily under the standard meth ods of cleaning. i Compatible in All Sprays Sherwin-Williams Dry Arsenate of Lead has the especial advantage of being com patible in combination with various standard auxiliary spray treatments which is of par ticular importance to the grower since he wishes not only to preserve the killing prop erties of Arsenate of Lead but wishes also to know that no injurious or unsatisfactory re-action may be caused through the combi nation which may be used. Sherwin-Williams . Arsenate of Lead has been tested by growers who demand the most for their money and by selecting this product as your standard for Arsenate of Lead during the ensuing Codling Moth campaign you secure results with the least expenditure of money as to expense as well as the maximum recovery in sales because of the unusually high ratio of extra fancies packed out. No Need to Experiment Every grower owes it to himself to depend only on those products which experience recommends as desirable and to be careful not to be confused by statements which do not have the backing of definite field results over a period of years, for the results of last summer s confused experience is still painful to the memory of many as well as is the loss which was incurred from heavy worm damage especially when considering the improved prices which were obtained. Don't gamble with your crop! Buy Arsenate of Lead of standard recognized efficiency be cause of its higher toxicity. Ask your dealer for Sherwin-Williams Dry Arsenate of Lead.
