Interest is becoming greater in volley ball at the local Y. M. C. A. particularly with the State contests in the offing.

This Saturday the Harrisburg team will be represented in the tournament to be conducted at Ger mantown. At the same time a similar meet will be held at Pittsburgh. The winners of these eliminations will meet here April first to decide the State title. The splendid showing of Stan Hitz and Hubie Simmons in the recent National Y. M.

C. A. championship hand Jack Conlin ball tournament has brought about additional interest in The fact that Simmons and Hitz performed so well in the recent tourney has brought about a testimonial dinner which will be given in their honor this evening. It will be recalled that Hitz was eliminated in the singles in the quarter finals, while Simmons was eliminated one round earlier. The also boasts of an outstanding volley ball team and we are looking forward to them coming through with high honors this weekend at Germantown.

FJNAL GAMfe L. P. Clements, director of publicity at Lebanon Valley College, dropped into the office last evening and discussed basket ball at the school. The season comes to a close Wednesday evening when Lebanon entertains Albright, traditional rivals. Earlier in the season the two teams met with Albright getting the better of the situation.

How Pirates San Bernardino, Bees ever, Clements feels quite confident that the Lebanon boys will turn the trick tomorrow night. Tony Rozman, of Steelton and Robert Brown, of Lemoyne, will be playing their last basket ball game for Lebanon. It will be recalled that Brown captained Lebanon Valley last fall and led the team to one of the best football seasons experienced by any Lebanon combination. Clements also informs us that Brown is the first Lemoyne High School athlete ever to captain any college team. Raymond Frey, of Lebanon, is also playing his last game for the Flying Dutchmen.

Last year, it will be recalled, he set a new league scoring record with 190 points in twelve games. This year he has scored 137 points to date and holds a lead of 14 points over O'Neill, of Gettysburg. Both Lebanon and Gettysburg have one game to play, which means that Frey is almost certain to take the scoring honors again this year. COURAGE NEEDED Tomorrow evening Bert Bertolini conducts another of his one night tournaments. The tournaments are attracting large crowds throughout the east and recently when the first one was held here it met with great success.

It was necessary for Bertolini to cancel the show last week when the Golden Terror was unable to participate because of an injury suffered the previous night. Not only did it take courage for Bertolini to cancel the show, but it also meant taking a loss of about $150 to cover expenses which had been incurred. The fans appreciate this and will undoubtedly patronize the shows in larger numbers from now on. Sodd to Petition Judge Landis New Orleans, March 7. (JP) Bill Sodd, rookie outfielder, said yesterday he would petition baseball Commissioner Landis for freedom from the Cleveland Indians.

Sodd announced he was basing his claim on an alleged violation of the rule forbidding a major; league club from optioning a player to a minor league farm more than three times. He said he was signed when he came out of the University of Texas, spent two seasons at the Indians' former farm in Zsmesville, Ohio, and two with the Wilkes Barre, club. Indian officials declined comment pending the arrival here of C. C. Slapnicka, the club's general manager.

Sodd's complaint recalled the Indians' frequent trouble with players seeking to be declared free agents. Two years ago Commissioner Landis ruled Tommy Henrich free from the Indians, and Henrich signed with the New York Yankees. Sodd's name does not appear on the Indians' roster this year, but he said he came to the club's training camp on the club's orders. Senators Orlando, March 7.

CP) Luke Appling, varsity shortstop and last White Sox to sign his 1939 contract, arrived in spring i. 1 Reds Tampa, March 7, (JP) Johnny Vander Meer, Cincinnati star portsider, and Ray "Peaches" Davis, right handed hurlery were victim? yesterday of line drives off the bats of teammates.

Jimmy Wilson, coach, lined one that struck Vander Meer low on the left leg; and a few minutes later Ernie Lombardi returned a ball that hit Davis on the upper right leg. Cardinals St. Petersburg, March 7, ()Ray Blades, manager of the St. Louis Cardinals, believes rookie Joe Orengo will make a polished major league infielder. "He looks like Tommy Theve now (the great shortstop who helped the Cards win the 1926 pennant and world series) did when he broke in," commented Blades yesterday.

"He even pounds his glove exactly as Tommy used to do. Yes, Orengo looks like a fine fielder. I'm waiting to see whether he can hit." Orengo, 22, batted .277 with Sacramento of the Pacific Coast League in 1938. Tigers Lake, March 7, (JP) Rudy York, the Detroit Tigers No. 2 slugger who put on a home run race with Hank Greenberg last year, whacked several balls over the far off left field wall in batting practice yesterday.

Frank Croucher, bidding for Bill Rogell's shortstop job, showed well in the field and at bat. March ucm ng Mnip yesiwu iuUiw. 7 The Pittsburgh Pirate; p.ijsn.aii. iu ouu mk (iff mnst nf tn yesterday into action. Cubs Avon, March 7.

The Chicago Cubs may not be better this season, but at least they are going to be smaller. Many of last season's hefties have sliced off bulging waistlines in spring drills. Billy Herman, second baseman who carried 200 pounds around most of the 1938 campaign, is down to 185, South paw Hurler Larry French is down to 191 and eventChubby Manager Gabby Hartnett has walked, trotted and batted off enough poundage to get down to 211 pounds Phillies New Braunfels, March 7. (JP) Hershel Martin, hard hitting regular in the Phillies outfield, became a holdout yesterday by failing to report for spring practice. Manager Doc Prothro, putting his boys through two hours of batting practice, said he had received no word of any disagreement with Martin.

A teammate disclosed, however, the center fielder had written from his Vienna, home saying he had been bickering over salary with President Gerald Nugent. Athletics Lake Charles, March 7. (IP) The Athletics took a holiday from spring training yesterday to attend the funeral of Colonel Leonard W. Calvert, their Lake Charles host, who died Sunday in his 84th year. Stan Sperry, infielder, arrived at camp to put to rest reports he was a holdout.

He said his wife's illness kept him home. Another arrival was Pitcher George Caster, delayed because of a mix up over his railroad ticket. capei before the news reel cameras. Photographers spent several hours at the training camp and sound equipment recorded Manager Pie Traynor's comments about the team. Pitcher Rip Sewell returned from the sick list and watched belated workouts, but did not don a uniform.

Browns San Antonio, Texas, March .7, (JP) The. excellent showing of John Berardino and Sigmund Gryska, Texas League rookie in fielders now with the St. Louis Browns, brought grins of joy to Manager Fred Haney after workouts yesterday. And to make him more cheerful, indications were that holdout Don Heffner was about to give in and sign the contract he's refused so far. Yankees St.

Petersburg, March 7, (JP) Joe DiMaggio, Charley Ruffing and Babe Dahlgren made their first appearance in the New York Yankees' camp and took part in the drill yesterday as the full squad had its initial workout. Red Rolfe and Frank Crosetti, the holdouts, were the only absentees. DiMaggio, looking lean and fit, scaled 185 after the workout, while Ruffing, who had been working a month at Long Beach, was cutting loose with his pitches in warming up. Lou Gehrig, Joe Gordon, Billy Knickerbocker and Dahlgren hooked up tor ine nrst infield drill. Eradenton, March 7, (IP) Casey Stengel's decision to shift Debs Garms, the Boston Bees' only .300 slugger last season, from left field to third base, shaped up as a master stroke yesterday.

Garms, reporting for his first workout, held down the third sack during both of the day's practice sessions, and appeared to have a decided edge on the other candidatesJohnny Hill, Bob Kahle and Henry Majeski. Another newcomer to check in was Outfielder Jimmy Outlaw, who also worked out twice. As has been the case since the Bees gathered here Al Simmons' long range hitting featured the drills. Red Sox Sarasota, March 7, (JP) Bob (Lefty) Grove unfurled his aging arm and threw a few of his fast ones past his Red Sox teammates yesterday in the club's initial session. After giving him self the stiffest workout since last September, Grove advised Mana ger Joe Cronin: "My arm feels as good as ever." Cronin, who split his squad yes terday, put the veterans through a morning drill and concentrated on his rookies during the second session.

All of his players were on hand except Ted Williams, the American Association batting champion, who has been unre ported since he left his San Diego nome to motor to the camp. Giants Baton Rouge, March 7. (JP) Burgess Whitehead, the absent second baseman, riled Manager Bill Terry of the New York Giants no end yesterday as the Giants buckled down to serious work. Terry said phone calls to White neaci at his Lewiston N. home tailed to reach the player himself, but brought word that he would start for camp today or Wednesday.

Cliff Melton and Cly dell Castleman pitched for yesterday's hitting practice and gave me Dauers some real hard to look over.
