IN ‘T_HIS CORNER

All is in readiness for the Mari- time championship bout at the Forum tonligiht that sees Jimmy McInnis of Charlottetown, attempt to wrest the bantam title from the brow of Russel "Kid" Lantz. the present holder. A score of work- men were busy up to late last night getting the battle scene ready for the fray while both camps freely predicted victories as they sent their charges through final tuning-up processes.

1s rounds is the scheduled length n: the bout but it is very doubtful if the fight will go that far. Both boys had their punches steaming yesterday and if either finds an ppelfln‘ it will likely be curtains for the receiver. However, McInnis md Lantz leave very few open- ings in a vulnerable spot and they are trained so fine and in such superb condition that either boy is quite capable of going ‘the gruell- lng fifteen rounds.

so evenly are the boys matched that yesterday it was hard to find a fan willing to pick a winner. mntz, the champion, seems wpre- fer a free swinging, mixing battle and this is in direct contrast to the baffling, shifty boxing attack that Mcmnis usually displays. But both mix it freely at times and who knows but it will be in one of these spots that the end of the fight will come probably with dra- matic suddenness.

But whenever the end oomesJn between that time, fans will see onc of the closest, hardest fights ever staged here. Between two boys that fight clean and hard all the way, the outcome of the scrap has an air of uncertainty about it that is commanding interest daily. The only thing certain about it is that it will be for the title and will be a whale oi’ a battle all the way, with both coming into the ring at 117 1-2 lbs.

Lents showed splendid condition last night in a workout at the L. P10. Hull. He worked at top speed for six rounds of shadow boxing, skipping and punching the. heavy bag and at the end hardly drew a deep breath. McInnis worked out in the afternoon and is certainly trained fine. Right at fighting form Jimmy is in the best shape 0i’ his career and it will silrprise his fol- loweru greatly if he doesn't show the best fight of his career tonight.

Drawing nearly as much atten- tiou as Lantz last night was his mgnqlger Kid O'Neill.

Reports still persist New York Giants are hot after Dolph Cam- illi, the Philadelphia first sacker who's in the Philly doghouse for holding out. St. Louis Cardinals, hot after a catcher and another infielder. may swing a deal with Cincinnati Reds, who opened the market yesterday by buying 11m baseman Baxter Jordan from Bos- ton Bees.

Brooklyn may swap pitcher Tom Baker, infielder Jim Bucher and outfielder Ed Wilson, now with Jersey City, to Philadelphia for pitcha’ Claude Passeau and catcher Bill Atwood. Even Joe Mc- Carthy of the fading world cham- piomhip New York Yankees, say "D0115. is ready to listen to deals as is Mickey Cochranc of the De- troit Tigers.

NEW YORK. May fit-Mi?)- Carl Hublbell sketched his Nation- ‘nl League victory string to 21 to- day by whipping Pittsburgh 5-2 with a six-hit pitching perform- 5.1109.

The victory, netted by a fifth inning uprising on the veteran ‘Vatte Hoyt who retired after ‘hree runs had crossed the plate. broke the latest Pirate streak that had run to five straight vic- torles.

Hubbell collared the Pirates with perfect control of his screw- ball. In the second inning he doubled off Lefty Brandt, who started on the mound, and in the noisy fifth. he singled to drive home the final run. »

Off the combined pitching of Brandt. Hoyt. Bauers and Brown. the Giants belted 13 hits whereas Arky Vaughan led the Pittsburgh hitters with homers into the right- field seats in the second and fourth innings.

NEW YORK, May ll-(UP) —Carl (King) Hubbell. screw- baller extraordinary for New York Giants, defied the power of tho Pittsburgh bats today and wrote new figures into baseball's record books with his 21st straight win in the Nat- ional league.

But leagues mean little tn the face of the King's perfor- mance. Ail statistics available since it became l. paying pro- position to play ball show r10 record equalling that of the lanky screwbalicr in any Ica- gue.

Vince now is with the Boston Bees. Joe was the Major league rookie star last year of the Wbcrld Champion New York Yankees. Dominic, in O'Doul's opinion, is “on his way to the majors" as a sensational rookie with the San Francisco club.

Yesterday. Dominic clouted a home run with two men on and hit safely four times in five trips up as the Seals beat. Oakland 8-7.

Today. 0'Doul said, Dominic is a "far better ball plnyef" m!“ his brothers were when they made minor league debuts.

Not since last July have the boys beaten Hubbell in a reg- ular league game though he ‘was credited with a. world ser- ies ion. His record now shows .16 league wins in 1936 and five . to date this year. Marquarufs total was made up of one win

in 1911 and 19 in 1912.
