Rain fell in torrents on the Toronto team's arrival, and continued with- out cessation all day, much to Manager O'Hara's disgust. An af- ternoon lost at this late stage of the training campaign is like a damp holiday during the Summer --Ilost forever, And the Leafs need all the work they can get, especially the pitch- ers, who are somewhat backward in their preparations. "Rip" Col- ling, Jess Doyle, and Johnny Prudhomme, are ready to go the full route, and judging from indications, they will have to carry the bulk of the boxwork on their broad shoulders the first few weeks of the International Leagua grind, Hankins Complaining Hankins is complaining of a kink in his arm, while Songer is somewhat under weight and Fish- er is a little bit under the weather.

If ne doesn't prove to he a winner, Man- ager O'Hara will 'be bitterly dis- appointed.

He has pitched with much success against the strongesi semi-pro. clubs in and around the smoky City, and in style and ac- tion, also physique, is a ringer for Grove, the wonder portsider of the Mackites, If Bayne is not se- cured from Cleveland, Martin's chances of retention are rather roseate, About Other Recruits .... Just what will happen to the other recruits is conjectural. Frank Reil,, the right-hander recommend- ed by "Bunny" Hearn, knows his little book, but it seems to be the opinion that he has less natural ability than either Lucas, Brown or Fraser, The railroader is a great student, and handles himself in the box with all the steadiness and aplomb of a veteran, If he evid- ences anything at all, he is favored to get a place on the staff, Stan Lucas and Fraser are bet- ter than the average, but it re- mains to be seen whether they can hold their end in a class "AA" loop. The former will be extended every consideration because of the pact that he is the only native son with the club outside ot Bill O'Hara, but sentiment does not cut much figure in baseball when all is said and done, and Lucas will have to carn his rating, A Burchell Likes Fraser Fraser has a wicked break to his fast one, and Fred Burchell has a soft spot for the New KEng- lander. Brown is the dark horse of the freshmen, and may finish in front of the field. He was late in reporting, and it is only in the last nition, There is a possibility that an- other twirler will be added to the staff before the Leafs leave Green- ville. Scout "Knotty" Lee, who has been looking over the Southern colleges for talent, blew in today ess of a Clemson College Yyoung- ster, and Manager O'Hara may sign the youth on his say-so. In view of the fact that several big league clubs are on his trail it is not ad- visable to give his name at this juncture. Sexton, who is a grad- uate of the same college, made a special trip with Lee to use his persuasive powers on the pitching prodigy. The leafs leave early tomorrow morning for Charlotte, where Dale Alexander made his reputation as a slugger. The latter was somewhat aggrieved over the cancellation of today's affair, as he was keen 10 get a shot at the short fences in the local park.

Parra scaled 108 and Schwartz 111, a pound under the class limit. Schwartz slashed and tore at the game little South American with every punch known to the game but though he won every round, made a bloody mark of welts of Parra's features, and had the Chil- ean wobbly and staggering in a half dozen sessions Schwartz could not floor the challenger. The local champion, hardly ruffl- ed at any time by Parra's wild swinging, opened a gash over the Chilean's left eye in the second round. From then on the corporal jabbed, hooked and sliced rights and lefts into Parra's features and body until the crowd groaned in sympathy with the challenger. Parra never stopped trying and kept the tiny rink in an uproar. Schwartz tried valiantly to finish es, poured into Parra's head and body like the cross-fire of twin machine guns, never had the Chil- ean more than badly dazed. A NEW YORK YANKEES ARE FAVORITES IN AMERICAN LEAGUE New York, April 9. -- The New York Yankees are the odds-on fav- orites in the American League race that has an advance and solitary showing today in the nation's capi- tal, but it is a great season for long shots in the National League derby. Seven of the eight clubs mn the old- er circuit will have at least a voice in the debate even if all-are not ac- tually able to carry the argument in- to the final stages of the campaign. Oply the Phillies are dismissed irom calculations that promise the biggest and most exciting National League scramble in years. The National's policy seems to be for more and louder pennant argu- ments in contrast to the Yankee no- tion of making it a private fight. There were four outstanding pennant contenders in the National League race last year, and a fifth club, Cin- cinnati, having a lot to say about the order of finish. Free-For-All In such a free-for-all as the one that gets under way this Wednesday it is only natural to find in blossom, if not full bloom, hopes and aspira- tions that have not been so conspicu- ous through the last few years. The Chicago Cubs, for instance, haven't won a pennant since 1918. They threatened last year but didn't have enough experience to stand the gaff, Right now Joe McCarthy's ambitious young men are perhaps the best long shot of the National League cam- paign, The Cubs are not the only worry in sight for the twin-favorites of the race, the Pirates and Cardinals. These two are generally picked to be the main contenders. They were only a game aud a half apart at the close of last season, and they may be just s close again, but in addition to watching each other they will need to keep an eye on the Giants, Bra- ves, Robins and Reds. Luque is Ready It was the headache they acquired trying to win the pennant-deciding game from Cincinnati last season that affected the Pirates in the world's scries. The Bucs were ex- hausted from the strain of battling a club that was only fifth in the final standing, but which was playing as good ball as any outfit in the league at the close, These Reds are start- ing the race with the same outfit that was so troublesome late last season, plus the benefit of having their Cu- the challenger but his hest punch- | | ban star, Adolfo Luque, in the best | shape of his career, The guiding hand of Rogers Hornsby is already apparent in the | progress of the Boston Braves. Ro- gers has displayed a genius for lea- dership. He brought the Cardinals up in the first division after a hard | ight in 1925, led them to the pen- nant in 1926, and had a big part in [ the great drive of the Giants last He has different material to | work with this season, but his dy- cason, inchester CIGARETTES A "POKER HAND" IN EVERY PACKAGE Wi namic presence on the field will make the Braves a tough team to beat. Un Andy Cohen Meanwhile the Giants, under the indomitable guidance of McGraw, seems to have overcome much of the handicap of Hornsby's sudden departure. If Cohen can plug the second base gap the club will be a contender. Brooklyn, with as great a pitching staff as any club in either league, and new strength elsewhere, may be an important factor in the race. The Robins have a habit of making them- sclves conspicuous every four years, and this is the year they are due. But like most oi the other clubs, even among the favorites, Brooklyn has some weak spots. The Cubs have infield uncertainties and the Pirates a pitching worry or two. The Car- dinals could use another outfield star. There are question marks at second base and in the box for the Giants. As in the National, seven Ameri- can League clubs are shooting at the sae mark. The difference is that one group is aiming at the pem- ant, while the other is shooting at the Yankees. The Athletics seem well equipped to do the most ocon- sistent firing. Connie Mack thas plenty of reserves on hand to re- place any of his veterans who show signs of weakening.

The daring airmen, who so Te cently made a remarkable tour of South America, covering many thousands of miles, took off om their 2,500-mile journey to Hamel at 7.25 Sunday morning. They were anxious to make a non-stop flight, but Costes feared they would run short of gasoline and made a landing at Port Baynard, a French outpost near the frontier of Tongking, and refilled the tanks. Relatives and friends of the pile ots had kept anxious vigil, and when the glad tidings finally came to the Air Ministry, the news was immediately broadcast.
