Peoria, 111., Fort Wayne, and Gary, Ind. were the three cities reported in the market for the franchise as Bob Connery, president and principal owner of the Saints, conferred with his local Chamber of Commerce and civic leaders.

NEIL NEW YORK AP This heavyweight title duel of Max Baer and Primo Camera that once could summons up thrilling visions of Has 76 Score. By DAVIS J. WALSH MERION CRICKET CLUB, ARDMORE, PA INS With a J. Hickey, American Association high wind whipping its way through the fairways, the so-called set-up course became a heartbreaker in FAMOUS citement was just about as great as one of those old time ninth inning rallies of Commie days which we hope to see back in 1935 or 1936. It was quite a ball game, the league leading Gebhart's trailing 3 to 1, Hank Mileham appearing to be an almost certain winner over Otto Koch, two men on and a long hit needed to tie the score.

Jimmy never hit a golf ball any harder than he laid the wood on that softball last night and the 350 fans nearly tore down the stand as he raced around the sacks with the run needed to put his team in the lead. A lot of action for a dime in that softball game last night. the first round of the national open PHARIS golf championship today, a trio of 74's leading the way in the early going. The trinity of leaders was Rodney Bliss, Omaha amateur; Jimmy Thomson (CQ), the great hitter from Los Angeles, and Willie Goggin, San Francisco pro, with nobody immediately in sight to challenge their prestige. Bliss, runner up in the western amateur and intercollegiate cham pionships, finished with a startling 4.tn-ll $5.20 4.5-3 $3.50 4 TO-Jl $5.70 4.

He was tied a short time later by Thomson who had an uneventful president, in Chicago today, but nothing can be done until final word is received from Connery. President Hickey today said that Connery, disgusted at the lack of patronage by St. Paul fans, had definitely made up his mind to sell the team or move it away from St.

Paul. "He definitely won't keep the club in St Paul anymore if he keeps it," Hickey said. "If he doesn't get a satisfactory bid from those who want the franchise to remain in St. Paul, he will accept an offer to transfer it." The St. Paul Chamber of Commerce has asked President Hickey to come to St.

Paul for a conference, to be held Friday or Saturday until then, no developments are expected. Milwaukee Pitcher Allows But One Hit MILWAUKEE UP Americus Polli allowed St. Paul batsmen one hit yesterday and Milwaukee won, 1 to 0, in the American association. The lone Apostle hit went to Polli's opposing pitcher, Lou Fette. Minneapolis, leading the association, defeated Kansas City 6 to 2 in a night game.

high drama at the mere mention of their names has taken on a kind of comic opera aspect and pretty low comedy at that, if you ask the huge Italian champion. The date has been set for months one week from tonight, 15 rounds in Madison Square Garden's bowl on Long Island. The fighters have been training for almost two, months. And now Baer, the challenger, to the absolute consternation of the Garden and the champion, asks for a week's postpone- ment so that he may get in better 1 condition.

Loop TUSCOLA Tuscola will be represented in the Okaw Valley soft-ball league and will open its season here tonight against Hindsboro. Luther J. Black, county superintendent of schools, is the city soft-ball manager. That the fans are getting keyed up for a great battle Sunday night when that hard hitting, clever fielding J.

D. Roszell team comes down from Peoria could be learned by the comment that was passed about as they filed out of the park. The improved play of the Staley's will only mean the fans will be assured of two high class games each week. The next Staley-Geb-hart game is scheduled for June 20. If the Gebhart's can hang in there the rest of the month Decatur will be assured of a place in the playoff at the end of the season for the Inter City title.

Tonight the City league returns to the park with a pair of games, the Staley's and Mueller's meeting at 8 p. m. and the league leading Moran's out to keep their record clear with the Junior Mechanics as the foe. Bradley college officials are somewhat up in arms over the fact Frank Lane, a Big Ten football and basketba.ll official, now employed by the Cincinnati Reds, attempted to sign Lee Handley to a contract in spite of the fact he has another year in college. According to Kenneth Jones of the Peoria Journal Lane offered Lee a tidy sum for signing, a salary for the rest of the summer and a trip to the camp next spring.
