All players and candidates are ordered to report. Following the workout on the Grays' home field a meeting of players and club officials will be held and Uniforms distributed. Zeke Perry, veteran catcher, will manage the Grays this season, succeeding Frank Grelner. Perry, signed to play last year, for South Altoona, finished the season with a Cleveland, O. amateur club.

He was the Grays' leading slugger in 1933. The club roster was strengthened Saturday by the signing of Raymie Conlon, infielder, home from University of Detroit. Injured in football practice, Conlon was permanently removed from the gridiron sport but is looking forward to a great year in baseball. Manager Perry is counting on Conlon's stick work and fielding to greatly bolster the Grays. Another recruit is Ivan Perry, infielder, who led the league in swatting during the second cycle last year while performing with Westmont.

His engagement here is under the direction of the National Billard association of America which is sponsoring the national "Better Billiards" program. This invitation is open to both men and women and hte only requirement is that they be present at that time. Bozeman is one of the youngest players of the group of 21 who are touring the United States and is one of the most promising players of today. He was born in Amarilla, Texas, in 1906, and recently married a young lady from the Pacific coast. When asked why he became interested in billiards he replied "Because at the age of 10 years, I fell off a bicycle." During his early career he worked as a piano tuner which he gave up to become actively interested in the billiard game.

He held the Pacific coast championship in 1930, 1931, and 1932, but previous to that he attained the title of National Amateur champion in 1928. During the summer and the times when he is not playing billiards, Jay can either be found hunting and fishing in the mountains of northern California or playing golf. After turning professional, Bozeman has since played in three world's tournaments for the 3- WEBER FLIES 10 Each 50 y2 Doz. Why not buy the best? It costs no more.

Stewart-Warner 6 Tube AUTO RADIO PITTSBURG, April 7. The legislative committee investigating academic freedom at the University of Pittsburg may turn to alleged use of state funds for "ath-the committee recessed until next letic scholarships," it developed as Friday after its first session. Attorney J. A. Wilner for the "liberals" who asked the investigation said Saturday he felt there were sufficient grounds for the investigation to consider the university's athletic set-up.

His statement came after John Weber, the school's business manager, said state funds had been used on occasion to make up athletic deficits but that the money was always paid back. Chairman Eugene A. Caputo said the committee would be willing to consider the subject if Wilner insisted but felt such an inquiry would lead them from the main purpose of the investigation academic freedom. No immediate decision was reached. Three former teachers at the college testified at the two day session they left the school due to administrative restrictions of their activities.
