Favored to Triumph Over Dickson City Battler Joe Dell Meets Joe Baber In a Six Rounder The 10 boxers who appear in tonight's fistic bill at Town Hall, featured by a twin 10 round final, are prepared to weigh in this afternoon before officials of the Pennsylvania State Boxing Commission. Tommy White, welterweight champion of Mexico, yesterday said he felt certain of defeating Willio Greb, of Dickson City, in one of the finals. In the other Eddie Lord, former sparring mate of Louis (Kldl Kaplan, predicted lie would win the decision over Al Bryant, flashy Newark battler.

White and Lord, because of their outstanding ring records, have been installed the favorites by the fans. Tommy, who has held the welterweight championship of Mexico since 1923, lost only one bout in the la3t year and a half, and that on close decision. Lord has met virtually all of the best in his division. Many fans will recall his sensational fight here two years ago when he appeared in the semi final to Kaplan who fought in the feature contest. The fans who 'have watched White in training at the Catholic club 83 Iccted him to win because of his hard punching ability.

In Dickson City, however, Greb rules the favorite. Willie is capable of absorbing much punishment and his backers maintain he will hand out plenty to the veteran White. Pittston is much interested in the outcome of the Lord contest. Since the retirement from the ring of Mickey Doyle, Pittston fans have been without a favorite to follow at the lighter weights. He will be acclaimed by all in this section if he succeeds in defeating the negro.

Much interest in the show centers in this bout. Both have met and defeated the best in their class, but have never faced each other in the same ring. The bout is probably the best brought to Scranton this season. Dunmore is backing Joe Dell to floor Joe Baber, his Forest City opponent in the six round feature. Because Joe performed so courageously against great odds to come out lha winner in his last fistic engagement all hands are now rallying to his support.

Baber has a following, however, in this section of tho county and these fans believe his lei.1 will cause Dell's downfall. The bout should be an interesting one to watch. The possibility of a knockout exists in each of the four rounders. Frankie Gudermas, Throop, who punched Tucker Toy into submission, hopes to continue his K. O.

record against Windsor Williams. In the other Sammy Romano and Jimmy Gaughn each expect to win before the bout goes the limit. UKRAINIAN A. C. BALL CLUB FLATS ST.

CYRIL'S IM EXHIBITION GAME Winning from the Blue Bell A. last Sunday afternoon, 3 to 0, the Ukranian A. C. Ball club, of the Diamond League, will play St. Cyril's, of Olyphant, in its second exhibition game of the season, at Olyphant, tomorrow afternoon.

Manager Kra nick, of the Ukranian club, requests his players to meet at Parish hall at 1:30 o'clock tomorrow. Potackl, who fanned thifteen batters and allowed two hits agamst the Blue Bells, will probably hurl again tomorrow for the Diamond leaguers. Every baseball fan in. Scranton knows tho fellow on the left. "Wee Willie'' is back with us again and will try to fool the NT batters with his underhand delivery.

The slender pitcher's floater has won many games for Scranton and he i promises to keep up the good work this year. Walter Rosner. the young Hebrew shown in the center, was with the ew Tork Giants at one time and is a twirler with plenty of stuff, as well as nerve. He is a happy go lucky chap and is bound to be popular with the customers during the pennant chase. As far as Fred Stiely is concerned, everyone knows his ability.

The stocky southpaw not only can whip 'em across in grand style, but he can also sock the old apple hard.

of JVinton. BEATING BROWNS HUGH CHICAGO r.T By ALLAN J. GOULD (Associated Press Sports Editor) NEW YORK, April 22. (A. The big international whirl for 1928 is beginning to take on definite color and shape as the American talent either heads for foreign fields of action or starts mobilizing at home.

WALTER ROSNER Manager Gus Getz has been getting a tough break as far as weather is concerned, but it isn't worrying him much. The silent skipper declares his men are ready for the opening of the season and that the team will finish one two three. Weather permitting, Getz will give the boys a long workout today at Brooks' Athletic Field. On Wednesday and Thursday the first of the spring exhibitions will be played when the Miners battle the famous Cuban Ked Sox. Gus was in Newark again yesterday in search of a couple of pitchers, whether or not he was successful is still a mystery as he hadn't returned to his quarters at Hotel Holland up until a late hour last night.

LL MEETS TOMORROW NIGHT Magnates of the various clubs of the County league will meet tomorrow evening at the Olyphant Record Office, Hull street, Olyphant, to accept the schedule for the season. Bylaws and constitution will be drawn up and read into the minutes of the circuit. Contracts will be filed and the final arrangements for the opening of the season on May 6 will be made. Sis of the valley's foremost clubs make up the league roster among which are: Taylor Booster club, Bel levue Booster club, Dickson Booster club, Jessup, St. Stanley's, Forest City Booster club, and Dunmore Centrals.

The above clubs will be represented by Al Welsenfluh, Jimmy Clifford, George Degutis, Joe Lawler, Victor Hobbs and Leonard Lavello respectively. The fans have been clamoring for the cream of the county to stay and play before home audiences, and this year their request will be granted for the scores of ball players who have gone to different clubs in the past will pastime for their home crowds. The league will have the strongest financial backing a local circuit has ever enjoyed, and this alone will tend to put the county to the front as the leading loop in the valley. President David Markowltz has received some applications since the last meeting and if the managers will decide to increase the league to eight clubs there no doubt will be no trouble finding clubs who will be interested. The Victor Alferl and Petersburg A.

C. nines are expected to apply for admission at Tuesday's session.

OOPS OPEN dt Cigar of DISTINCTION PERFECT05 GRANDE 2 for In the vanguard of the tennis troupe is Helen Wills, acknowledged queen of the courts, now on her way to France, accompanied by Penelope Anderson, for a tour that will take them through four or five countries before the main climax at Wimbledon. They will be joined later by other American stars for the Wightman Cup matches while the Davis Cup team, granting success at home, will be taking up the battle on French soil. The golf brigade is on its way over for the British open. Bobby Jones, after two successive triumphs abroad, won't be among those present for this classic, but the talent from the United States will be well represented by Walter Hagen. Jim Barnes, Tommy Armour, Bill Mehlhorn and Gene Sarazen a group that holds all the major titles on this side of the water not possessed by Jones.

Hagen not only will attempt to repeat his victories of 1922 and 1924 in the British open, but also seek the scalps of Archie Compston and Aubrey Boomer, two of Britain's best, In special matches. Meanwhile, at home, the Walker Cup team has just been selected for the tussle with the British at Chicago later this summer, It is headed by Jones, Von Elm, Sweetser, Evans and Quimet, five seasoned stars who have shared eight national amateur championships amorfg them. Britain never has won the Walker Cup and will have anything but an easy task trying to upset this all star American group, the other members of which are Watts Gunn, Roland MacKenzie and Harrison Johnston. There doesn't seem to be much prospect that any woman tennis player in Europe will stop the sweep of Helen Wills. At 22, the California girl has developed the hardest hitting game feminine ranks have ever known.

When, as she demonstrated, she can frequently hold her own and occasionally defeat men players of the "top ten" there 'isn't much doubt of the power of her game. By now Miss Wills ig nearly as much at home on European courts as she is in the United States. She was undefeated any where last year. In fact sh dropped only one set in singles all season. That was to Miss Gwynneth Sterry, the young English star, at Wimbledon, but it was just a passing lapse.

The American Wimbledon champion may meet keener opposition that she did last year but her own game, competent critics agree, is a notch or two higher. There will be keenest in terest perhaps in how beaming Betty Xuthall, 17 year old English star fares against Miss Wills. Senorita De Eileen Bennett, Miss Sterry and Elizabeth Ryan, the veteran American star, are others who may at least make it interesting for the Callfornian. There will be plenty for the American tourist to cheer about abroad this year first and probably at Sandwich for the British open, again at Wimbledon during the tennis tournament, possibly at Paris for tho Davis TOWN HALL MONDAY, APRIL 23 DOCDLE MEXICAN TOMMY WHITE, Unvarying merit is the big reason for its popularity for so many years.
