Abroad? The third possibility is the champion will accept a $300,000 guarantee for an International joust with Schmellng In Berlin, In which event the German government will subsidize the bout.

James J. Johnston, garden match, maker, says he will not hesitate to ask the courts to enforce his contract rights provided Schmellng stands out as the logical heavy weight challenger when the open-air season rolls around. With the forthcoming Prlmo Car-nera-Ray Impelllttlore and Art Lasky-James J. Braddock gates to worry about, Johnston was disposed to soft padel much talk of a Baer-Schmellng fight, but he made it plain he will be In the running for a heavyweight championship bout this summer If the outdoor season finds Schmellng topping the field of challengers. Natural Jacobs Is not likely to be so particular.

He is not harrassed by elimination tournaments. He believes Baer vs. Schmellng is a fistic "natural and the thing a jaded fight public has been waiting for. He is expected to lose no time trying to sew up the match for one of the New York ball parks. The Germans, completely sold on the rejuvenated Schmellng, want to see him make his second bid for the title In the big Olympic Stadium being completed In Berlin.

German promoters offered more than a quarter of a million dollars for the bout with the full authority of Chancellor Hitler who thinks a championship bout in Germany will be worth many times that amount In propaganda. In Hamburg yesterday, Joe Jacobs, Schmellng's manager, said the Baer fight was assured for New York with the garden doing the promoting.

(AP) Whatever else they may be, the St. Luis Brown are going to be hitters this season. The agile fellow afield, if he cant deliver at the plate, gives way to the boy with the belt regardless. We lost 61 games last season. by one run, says Manager Rogers Hornsby, a third of all the games we played.

That wont happen again. He got Johnny Burnett from Cleveland, a hitter always but never considered an exceptional fielder, though his averages usually are well up with the best. Johnny, in great physical condition, is almost certain to start at shortstop, replacing Alan Strange, last year's promising rookie, but only a .383 hitter. Into that Infield too Is likely to go Hornsby himself In the effort to batter the Browns out of the second division. If the Rod.

Sox buy Oscar MellUo, veteran second baseman, the Rajah will step In there. He may trot over to third base, where 22-year-old Harlan Clift performed gracefully last year and hit .260, good enough for a first-year man. Hornsby might even have a whirl at first bsse, unless the belting eye of Irving Burns, an outstanding fielder. Improves. Burns -hit only in 1034.

Hornsby fools that at 38 his playing days cant be over. Tbe ankle ho broke' with the Cubs Is strong, and there has been no sign of the heel Injury that bothered him for years, necessitating one operation. Hes trim and solid and ho still hits the fences and areas beyond on the fly. The Browns' pitching is strong and the catching la In husky, capable hands with Rollle Hemsley and Frank Grube around; but there's considerable question about the out field. Someone must fltl the shoes of Bruce Campbell, a topnotch hit ter and fielder, traded to Cleveland in deal that brought southpay Bob Welland and Burnett to Bt.

Louis. Sam West, who led ths club with a .336 average last season, la a fixture in center, Loft belongs to Ray Popper, burly Alabaman, who drove In 101 runs with an average of .233. Dobs Gams, who batted .293 but doesn't field so well, la locked In a duel with Roy "Beau Bell, a big rookl from Galveston who has caught Hornsby's eye with his clouting.

from. Buffalo. and. Larry Betten-court, up on oplon from San Antonio, are possibilities. Bettencourt particularly is a powerhouse, but there's a hitch In hla batting swing that has Hornsby working hours with him.

The Rajah Is satisfied with bis pitchers. Hla "big five consist of Buck Newaom, Biaeholder, Dick Coffman, Jack Knott and Welland, the first dependable starting lefthander Hornsby haa had sines he took over the Browns. Only Knott, In his first year up, bettered .500, winning 10 and losing S. In addition the Browns probably will carry Fay Thomas, who was with the Giants In 183 7 whan Hornsby served under John Mo-Graw; Howard Mills, a lefthander from Ban-Antonio, and Eleon Milwaukee rlgh hand rookie. Thelmas la, particular Is Hornsbys hope.

A big right hander, with everything necessary In his equipment, Thomas won S3 and lost only four with Los Angeles last season. IM-lllt llll 7-MID IH SOM March 11.
