RECORDS FALL AT BROOKUNE SWIM Worcester Ionics, John McCabe Grab Honors T'n V- 1 R5CK STAFF By JAMES C. O'LEARY BRADENTON. March 10-After two weeks of work here by most of the Bees everything is for the first game of the season tomorrow between teams designated as the Caseysmade up for the most part of regulars, and the Kellys, usually designated as the Yanrii-gans. To say the Bees have been it work for two weeks is putting it mildly.

Every day except the first one out and the Sunday following, when there was only one session, they have been out twice a day for strenuous practice, which would be regarded as a gruelling grind by ls3 willing workers. The boys took their medicine with a smile. While they were told by Stenrel that if they felt the pare was too hot, they might ease up. not one of them did so. and some of them worked overtime voluntarily.

HUMPHREYS i ap pct jct-- Orders Nowak to Report To Jersey City Club Judge Bramham Rules Rookie Inficlder Belongs to the New York Giants Tn5 Simuabi-ty or SEASON VVA5 ii mi win i im if Ey HY HURWITZ SARASOTA. March 10 The hitting by Joe Vosmik and the fireball throwing of Dick Midkiff were the highlights of a routine Red Sox workout here today. In preparation for a six-inning regular-Yannigan game tomorrow the Red Sox coasted through a drill in which only a few of the boys extended themselves. During this afternoon's press conference. Maestro Joe Cronin revealed he was really impressed with the way Midkiff was pouring that pill.

"He really was fast," said Cmnin. "and he looked better than I've ever seen him. Last Spring all that redhead had was a good curve but today he sure was fast." Impresses the Hitters MidkifT had the hitters popping the hall up or bitting the ball in the dirt. It was the best performance to da'e by any of the nine voung pitchers whom Cronin is looking over for regular duty this coming season. The titian-haired University of Texas graduate not only impressed the Sox skipper but the'hitters.

"How ran you get any good out of batting practirp with a guy putting so much stuff on the ball," remarked Jimmy Foxx. "I've able to fag everybody but this fellow," said Pinky Higgins. who has been doing the best practice hitting thus far. In a rather peculiar way, Cronin Intimated he was plenty worried about the ability of his youthful hurling rast. He had dished out haps of confidence in the stuff displayed by MidkifT.

Bagby, Wagner. Dickman and Company, but he showed his true sentiments when he declared be was going to get his hitters properly tuned, Powerful Lineup "1 want. my pitchers to stay ahead of the hitters." paid Cronin. "the pitchers ar- in fine shape right now and they have been instructed to start throwing hooks and put. a zip on the ball.

I want those hitters to be really in stride when the season opens." The Red Sox sure have a powerful lineup. You cannot discount the power present in the bats of Doc Cramer. Vosmik. Foxx. Cronin and Higgins.

But Cronin seemed to be more anxious to have his run producers properly adjusted. The only deduction is he really isn't confident that enough of his green pitching talent will come up to expectations, fo he wants the hitters to be in condition to produce plenty of runs. Although Doc Cramer took his first workout today and looked good considering, Cramer will not participate in the game tomorrow. Joe has Leo Nonnenkamp listed to start in what figures to be Cramer's cen-terfield post when 1he gong rings April 1R. Nonnenkamp has made a fin impression with his speed and his ability to make tough flies look simplp- DIAMOND DOTS Three ratrhers will be in the Yan-rigsn lineup.

Berg will play first and Desauiels second, with Walters behind the plate. Cronin didn't give the regulars the worst of it by picking Rogers and Sayles as his pitchers, Johnny Marcum was up and around today but he won't get into uniform before Monday. Vosmik hit the distant center field fence on the fly today, the only one thus far to make contact with it. Cronin said ''MidkifT looks like he's ready for the big time." Wagner has been going along easy. Cronin following the suggestion of Donnie Rush, who handled "Broadway" at Minneapolis.

Byron Humphreys had oodles of stuff and made Ted Williams, the yourg slugger, choke his bat. Tom Yawkey is expected Monday. CLEVELAND AND PELICANS PLAY TO' A 4-T0-4 TIE XFW ORLEANS. March 10 (A, F.I Cleveland's Indians and the New Orleans Pelicans played a 4-4 tie today in their first exhibition game You Oiilil to Max Baer Back in Money Again Max Baer, surprisingly enough, is back in the heavyweight picture, meeting Tommy Farr in New York tonight. Nearly three years after his knockout by Joe Louis nearly three years after he appeared to be all washed up and the mob had turned its back on him he is in the money again.

Which marks another amazing turn in the life of this constantly amazing young man. Look over his record. He knocked out Max Schmeling a Schmeling younger by three years than he was the night he knocked out Louis. From there Baer went on to win the championship from Primo Camera. He lost it to Jim Braddock, was halted by Louis in a lop-sided match, bowled over a lot of fifth-raters, went to England and lost to Farr, recently knocked out Ben Foord a feat which Schmeling couldn't duplicate.

And now the former playboy finds himself in Madison Square Garden again, facing an opportunity to knock down another small fortune with. his fists. Two New England marks were set last night at the 42d annual meet of the Brookline Swimming Club in the Brookline Municipal Baths. The Worcester Boys' Club team of Ionic consisting of Albert Hendrickson, Michael Yurick and Francis Penny, shattered the existing New England A. A.

GALAN GETS FOUR HITS IN SIX TRIPS TO PLATE AVALON. Catalina Islands, March 10 (A. Augie Galan served notice today that he is out to hang onto a regular outfield job with the Chicago Cubs, banging out four hits in six trips to the plaie as the regulars routed the yannigans, 20 to 6, in seven innings. The regulars nicked pitchers Clay Bryant and Roy Parmelee for IS hits as Newell Kimball and Bob Logan held the youngsters to nine safeties. NEW ORLEANS.

March 10 (A. Bill Nowak, 19-year-old rookie, second baseman claimed by both the New York Giants and the Cleveland Indians, was ordered tonight by Judge William Bramham, minor league czar, to report immediately to the Jersey City club, a Giant farm. A few minutes after receiving the wire from Judge Bramham, Nowak packed his belongings and bade goodby to members of the Cleveland club, with whom he had been training since suddenly leaving the Giant camp at Baton Rouge earlier in the week. Manager Bill Terry of the Giants protested to Judge Bramham after Nowak disappeared from his camp and turned up the next day with the Indians here. He claimed he had signed him to a Jersey City contract after learning that a EARLY WYNN MAY START SENATORS ON AN EARLY WIN ORLANDO, March 10 (A.

Manager Bucky Harris of the Washington Senators wonders if there's a baseball prophecy in the name of an 18-year-old rookie pitcher. The name is Early Wynn. Notoriously a slow starter, the Washington team has been needing some early wins for years. of the season. It was called after nine innings.

Ken Keltner. rookie Indian third baseman up from Milwaukee, was hit on the left elbow by one of ritcher Dick Oyler's fast balls in the seventh. He fell to the ground in great pain, but examination afterward indicated he had suffered only a bruise. Both lineups were composed almost exclusively of rookies. The score: Innings 123456789 Cleveland 0 0 0000310 4 2 2 0 4 5 3 Batteries: Zuber, Humphries, Drake and Helf, Taylor; Osborn, Dcbson, Oyler and Kixson.

ZEKE B0NURA IS IN FOR A "GOING OVER" PASADENA, March 10 A. When and if big Zeke Bonura, holdout Chicago White Sox first baseman, doe? sign a contract and report at Spring training camp, Know Rest on Sunday Some of them were pretty well fagged out after the afternoon seS. sion, and when Stengel's attention was called to one of them who sp. peared to be about all in as he walk, ed slowly to the showers, Stengel said: "Yes, he probably is a little bit tired. I'll let him lay off Sunday." he continued, as if he were giving the athlete a special indulgence.

This was a joke as Sunday workouts are now barred here, and all the Bees will have a lay-off on Sunday. Stengel is very much impressed by the versatility of Rcis. He did not include Maggert in the lineup for today's game as Maegert was a late arrival, and he wants him to have a little more work before he starts in a game. Lineup for Game The lineup for the game tomorrow: CASEYS KELLYS Warstler ss Kahle Johnson If 2n Reis Moore rf Cf McLeod Cuccinello 2b if West English 3b rf Garma DiMaggio cf 3b Mavo Fletcher lb lb Mohfer Mueller Riddle Gabler Lanninjf Fette and MacFaydcn will probably start against each other in the nine-inning game Saturday, and pitch four or five innings if thev should be going good. Hutchinson and Errickson are in line to relieve them.

Errickson and ShofTner are du to go against the Cards at St Peters-burg Monday. It rained for a few minutes this afternoon, but net enough to drive the players to cover. Commissioner of Horre Racing Charles Connor left for Boston tonight after a two-week vacation here, which he said he enjoyed more than any other vacation he has ever had. PAUL DEAN PITCHES THREE INNINGS NICELY ST. PETERSBURG.

Marrh 10 fA. Paul whose arm was of no value to the St. Louis Cardinals lart season, pitched three in. nings in a practice game torfay and reported no ill effects. The brother of Dizzy tried only a few slow curves.

Approximately 80 infielders and outfielders were on hand. The catching situation is not expected to be serious, for Sonny Yetten of Waltham, former star at St.

Mary's Hiffh. and Charles "Red" of Medford, another freshman star of last year, are expected to report. Gus Rook, who has borne the pitching burden for the last two years, headed the moundsmen reporting yesterday. The former Mechanic Arts star, who played for three years in high school, pitched some part of every game Northeastern played two years ago. Last year he divided the mound assignment with Joe Callahan, the big right hander who was lured into the major leagues last Summer.

Other pitching candidates reporting are more or less unknown quantities, for not many even played freshman baseball last year. Included among the pitchers were: Charles Loiselle. Springfield; Milton Leonard. Barker. N.

Dave Gerry. Topsfield, and Frank Svelnis, Boston. PIE TRAYN0R PUTS PITCHERS IN GROUPS SAN BERNARDINO, March 10 tA. At the end of the fourth workout Manager pie Traynor of the Pittsburg Pirates tentatively classified his dozen pitchers today into three groups: 1 Bauers. Tobin.

CONNIE MACK PRAISES HIS PITCHING STAFF LAKE CHARLES, March 10 (A. Connie Mack, manager of the Philadelphia Athletics, had a word of praise today for his pitchers. "Those arms look good to me," he said after watching hisxhurlers in a two-hour workout. "The pitchers are all in good shape and all pretty well advanced in training. That's very encouraging.

A club is only as strong as its pitching staff and we're going to be all right in that department least." TEXAS SYNDICATE HAS PLAN TO BUY DODGERS DALLAS. March 10 (A. J. Curtis Sanford. Texas oil man and promoter of the cotton bowl football game, said today a syndicate of Texas business men, of which he was a member, was lay.

Lefty Gomez had his first taste of intra-squad competition in the New York Yankees' Camp today and allowed just one hit in pitching three scoreless innings during the nine-inning game. Charley Ruffing, the right-hand ace of the Yanks" staff, also was trotted out to do his stuff, but was clubbed for eight hits and six runs in three frames. MARK CHRISTMAN IS STAR OF TIGER PRACTICE LAKELAND, March 10 A. Mark Christman. former Beaumont Tex third baseman who may rt Marviir Owen's old post with the Detroit Tigers, stole the show today in the Bengals' intrl-squad game.

The rookie got a double, and stole two bases. A f3m led bv Meager Mickey Cochrane whipped Ray Haywcrths crfcw. 9 to 1 Iff Mil GrantlandRice got to win. This is my last chance and I've got a lot to fight for now that I didn't have before. "In my fight with Farr in London, I was cut over the right eye in the first round.

But the blood ran into my eye and blinded me and I was pawing away at the eye with one hand all the time to try to clear it. But I'm not complaining about that. I should have beaten him. "I'll be in better shape for this fight than at any time since I was a kid. You know, I don't run around any more Maxie the homebody, that's me.

And I don't drink and I don't smoke. "And when the fight is over," he concluded, "I am going to grab the first plane back to California and stay right here with my wife and baby until they want me in New York again." It's a great program. Too bad he wasn't as smart as that back in 1933, when he had knocked out Schmeling and, even without the title, was sitting on top of the world. (Copyright, 1938, N. A.

Frank Kohlbecker. traveling secretary of the Cleveland club, said he put Nowak on the train after the youth had shown him the telegram. "That settles it for the time being," Kohlbecker said. "There is nothing I can do about that." The Jersey City club is training at Lafayette. La.

Nowak planned to stop off at Baton Rouge en route to Lafayette JEFF TESREAU GETS THREE PITCHERS MARKED "FRAGILE" HANOVER, N. March 10 Coach Jeff Tesreau Is still wondering who sent him a telegram regarding his Dartmouth baseball team. Some fan. reading of Tesreau's lack of pitchers this season, wired the veteran mentor, "Saw papers you needed a pitcher for your team this year stop sending three for your approval." Today Tesreau received the pitchers one was crockery and the other two glass, all carefully cased and marked "fragile." he's likely to get a severe "going over" by the club's front office.

In Earnest This Time This record is an accurate reflection of this very likable but altogether bizarre figure.

He set out along the fistic road with a magnificent body, a stout chin, a crushing right-hand punch and an ait of bravado designed to cover a lack of confidence in himself. He traveled so fast and so thoughtlessly that he never stopped to learn the fundamentals of his job. I talked with him on the Coast just before he started East for this fight with Farr. He talked very sensibly and soberly about this chance that has been given to him to redeem himself. Of course, he always did talk a good fight.

But it is easier to believe him now, because now maybe when it is too late for him to beat even a second-rater like Farr he has changed his attitude toward fighting and life in general. "I'm not going to brag about what I will do to Farr," he said. "But I'm telling you the truth when I tell you 1 know I am going to win. I've FARR MADE CHOICE OVER BAER TONIGHT But Many Feel Max Can Win If He Wades In NEW YORK, March 10 (A. P.

The parade of heavyweights will continue across the boards at Madison Square Garden tomorrow night, with Max Baer, former champion, and Tommy Farr, holder of the British Empire title, the principals in the 15-round main event. Farr is a 5-to-7 betting choice, notwithstanding he has dropped both his starts here. Most fight men pick him because he beat Baer in London last April and because he has been fighting more regularly than the Californian. It will be Baer's first ring appearance since he knocked out BenFoord in nine rounds in May.
