Chairman Leon Rains predicted today the new Working agr cement between the Pennsylvania Athletic Commission and the New Yo.vk Commission will be a boon to boxing in this slate. An agreement whereby both commissions will recognize each other's suspensions and reinstatements was announced late yesterday.

"In the past," Rains said, "many fighters gave indifferent performances in Pennsylvania rings, realizing that even if they barred in this state, they could, still box in New York, the goal of most fighters' ambition." "While the agreement may keep certain boxers away from Pennsylvania, they're just the type we don't want." The agreement, Rains declared, does not apply to any suspension already in force in either slate. It is the second time a working agreement has been reached between the' commissions. The first disagreement was in 1927 when New York declined to recognize Benny BESS as featherweight champion. Relations were resumed in 1928. Four years later, in 1932, the commissions again broke off relations when Harry Farrell, then Pennsylvania chairman, protested New York's approval of a Stanley Poreda-Ernie Schaaf bout after Saltsburg Plays Final Tomorrow The season's final football game involving an Indiana County eleven will be enacted in Westmoreland County tomorrow afternoon commencing at 2 o'clock, when the Saltsburg High gridders cross the Kiskimlnelas River and invade Bell Township High School's gridiron at Salina.

Winner of only one upset over rival Elders Salts have high hopes of completing a rather unsuccessful season with another upset at Bell Township, the favorites of tomorrow's Turkey Day classic. The Salts- burgers have lost eight and won one, losing 38-to-O at Penn Township (near Jeamictte) on Armistice Day. Bell Township has lost its last two games, dropping a 12-6 decision to undefeated Avonmore on. November 11 and then taking a 21-6 trimming from Apollo last Saturday. Saltsburg and Salina were to have met on the gridiron for the first time last Thanksgiving Day but the contest was cancelled.

However, with the holiday moved up a week, the school officials decided to book the affair this year, as will be enacted tomorrow afternoon. As a matter of comparison, the unmolested Avons hold a 13-0 triumph over Saltsburg and a 13-6 victory over the Bells. The probable starting lineups: Poredo declined to fight Godfrey in Philadelphia.

BY GEORGE A. SCOTT (Associated Press Staff Writer) Pennsylvania's schoolboy football conference races will get further clarification and old man tradition will take the driver's seat tomorrow in the annual Thanksgiving Day program, for the state's high school gridirons. Champions of at least two conferences may be decided while two other circuits will be a step closer to selection of their titlists after the final whistles are blown tomorrow. Sharing interest with the crucial conference games, however, are numerous contests in which district rivals of long standing meet in what to them is the most important contest of the season. Two undefeated, Untied elevens clash in what is expected to decide the Susquehanna Valley Conference title when South Williamsport invades Milton.

In the other top conference tilt, Kingston plays Wilkes- Barre Coughlin at Wilkes-Barre with the Wyoming Valley conference title as its reward if it stops Coughlin.

BRIDGE Two Quick Tricks Are Necessary To Respond to Vanderbilt Club This is the third of a series of 18 articles describing the Vanderbilt Club convention, the earliest and one of the most publicized of all contract bidding systems. It is an authoritative presentation approved by the author of the system, Harold S. Vanderbilt, and by his favorite partner, Waldemar von Zedtwitz.

This is the method they use in handling the convention and its corollaries. Human cancer can be transmitted to roses. BY WM. E. McKENNEY (America's Card Authority) In the Vanderbilt system, responses to all opening bids of one club are natural, with the exception that the response of one diamond is used conventionally to indicate a hand which does not contain two quick tricks.

In other words, any response other than one diamond to the opening bid of one club shows two quick tricks, such as the ace of two suits, the ace-king of a suit, or 1he ace of one suit and kings in two other suits. In quick tricks there can be eight, no more nor less in any deal. However, the system accords to other combinations the following "high card value:" or of same suit; and of different suits; and of different suits; one-half high card trick. 10 of same suit; and of different suits: one high card trick. A A 10; 1 of: s.ime suit: 1 high card tricks.

The conventional requirement for Ihe positive response is two quick tricks. However, so flexible is the system that with high card values nearly equal to quick tricks and with fine distribution, the positive response may be shaded. 1. If the opening bid is one club, and ths responding hand holds: spades, A hearts, 10 9 8: diamonds, A 4 clubs, 7654, the response is one no trump. 2.

If the responding hand holds a club suit and the required two quick tricks, the response is two clubs. This bid, which in other systems would merely the weakest kind of chance-giver, denotes real strength in the Vanderbilt system. With: spades, hearts, 10 9 8 diamonds, 5 clubs 4 3 2, respond with'two clubs. 3. Should the responding hand hold the required two quick tricks and a suit in either major, he bids one heart or one spade, 'as the case may be.

With: spades, A 9 8 hearts, 4 diamonds, A 5 clubs, 986, the response is on'e spade. With: spades, hearts, A 9 Pirates vs. Eagles in Final Sunday -o PITTSBURGH, Nov. fans of this locality will have their last opportunity to see in action one of the greatest performers the gridiron has 'ever known when the Pittsburgh Pirates end their season against the Philadelphia Eagles in a National League game at Field on Sunday (November 26). He is Bill Hewitt, veteran end of the Eagles, who by his own decision will never again don the moleskins after the end of the current campaign.

"I've been in then- a long time and I've had enough," the aggressive wingman stated recently This will be my last season; some of those younger fellows can carry on." So when Sunday's kickoff sends the Pirates into battle array against the Eagles football fans of tlYis section will see Hewitt, minus head- guard as usual, slashing into opponents for the last time. The Sunday sctto is the last for the Buccaneers but the Eagles still have to play Cleveland at Will Rogers Memorial Stadium, Corolado Springs, on Sunday, December 3, after which Hewitt will doff his uniform, never to don it again. Hewitt, who celebrated his thirtieth birthday last month, is now playing his eleventh season of football, eight of them in the tough National Pro League. He starred at the University of Michigan in 1929, 1930 and 1931, engaging in no other sport. NEW TRIAL FOR Miller of Slippery Expected to Introduce New Facts BUTLER, Npv, John H.

INC. T. H'-l ,9 "Remember, friends everyone lias an equal opportunity to win this great contest Wilson said he believed the jury was "prejudiced" against Dr. Miller because it was not given separate forms on which to reluri' the verdict. He said the one verdict form for bolh defendants' "tended to confuse the jury," adding that he did not know the single form had been used until the jury returned tlv: joint verdict.

The jury's confusion was evident, he said because it twice asked for instructions regarding verdicts on the separate indictments.
