Registration and marking of hounds filled the better part of the morning. Arrivals from a number of hunt states checked in and registered. Among those from Jackson who registered were: Judge Karl K.

Wilkes, Joha Merriwether, Robert Wilson, Tom. McClamroch, Wilkes Moore, Charlie Hopper, Bragwell and Logan, H. J. Mays, Haskell Belew, and James Exum. Jacksonians who will arrive later to take part in the chase are Paul Henderson, Alfred Baker, Fred Exum, Elco Arnold, and Noel Buntin.

This afternoon at 4:00 o'clock there will be a parade of hunters, the judges, and the hounds. At 7:00 o'clock tonight the bench show will be held. A large number of fine dogs is on the field and the bench show tonight will offer some keen competition for the winners. Four Big Bouts On Wrestling Card Tonight Tonight's wrestling card at the Armory consists of four feature bouts, which should give Jackson mat fans a satisfying fill of all kinds of wrestling. There is a women's bout Celia Blevins, the Cherokee Indian girl against Mae Young, in the first round of a series of elimination matches to sellect an opponent for the women's champion of the world, Mildred Burke.

There will be a tag team match with boxing gloves, pitting the Welch brothers, Roy and Herb, against Red Roberts and Eddie Malone. There will be two regulation matches. Roy Welch against Red Roberts and Herb Welch against Eddie Malone. The matching of Miss Blevins and Miss Young brings to Jackson the first girl wrestlers in several months. The tag team match is the second in the last three weeks, and the initial such match here presented a novel feature full of comedy and fighting.

These wrestlers have fun with boxing gloves, and they don't pull their punches with those gloves. The Welch brothers in their individual bouts are confronted by a pair of 'roughsters. They will have to overcome all sorts of unethical, illegal and underhand tactics, from Roberts and Malone to gain a victory over these boys. The card is full of the sensational, and should be a dish of variety for wrestling fans. Jeffra Archibald To Clash In Bout WASHINGTON, May 12 JPh-Harry Jeffra, recognized as king of the featherweights in four states, and Joey Archibald, a former champion, will clash here tonight in an outdoor bout scheduled for 15 rounds.

The winner has been promised a shot at Pete Scalzo, the N. B. choice for the championship. Jeffra, of Baltimore, rates title listing only in New York, Maryland, Pennsylvania and California. It will be the third meeting of the two men, Archibald, who is from Providence, R.

won a disputed decision over Jeffra here in 1939. Jeffra later took a 15-round nod over Archibald in Baltimore. The only wild cactus found in Michigan is the prickly pear, or Indian fig.

Phone 2245 106 S. Liberty Arcaro May Not Ride Whirlaway In The Belmont BY SID FEDER NEW YORK, May 12 (JP)-A new worry popped up today for "Whacky" Whirlaway and his hopes for the precious triple crown of racing. As beautiful Belmont opened its spring meeting, it was learned jthat the "brains" of the little Kentucky cannonball might not be in the saddle June 7 when the colt goes after the Belmont Stakes, the third jewel in the crown. Although no definite yes or no was forthcoming, it was disclosed that Mrs. Payne Whitney has a couple of colts in her barn that she expects to have ready for the mile-and-a-half grind which annually tops off the Kentucky Derby and Preakness for three-year-olds.

If she does, naturally she'll have her contract rider, Eddie Arcaro, aboard her chief hope. In that case, the little Italian from the Blue Grass, generally regarded as the No. 1 jockey in the business, would be riding to beat the colt he rode to triumph in the Derby and Preakness. Of course, the way Whirly waltzed off with the derby by eight lengths and followed it up by leaving the rest of the field five lengths behind Saturday in the Preakness is no guarantee he'll miss Eddie enough to lose the Belmont. But the way Arcaro carried out Trainer Ben Jones instructions in both the spring stakes so far, and the way he rated the little chestnut son of Blenheim II in both instances without letting him run wide, made veteran horsemen argue emphatically that he's the boy who "fits" the horse, where others failed before him.

Of Mrs. Whitney's plans for the Belmont only this is known: She has three eligibles Monday Lunch, The Rhymer and Swing and Swan. The first two are regarded as likely candidates for the big heat and Trainer Jim Gaver said today he expects to have Monday Lunch ready to run during the Belmont meeting. In fact, he had hoped to start the son of Questionanire in the Preakness but decided to wait The Rhymer was considerably better than bad in each of his four outings last winter in Florida, winding up a fast-closing third in the mile-and-an-eight Flamingo. Buddy Baer Will Fight Joe Louis For Title May 23 Joe Louis will defend his world's heavyweight boxing title in a bout with Buddy Baer May 23 at Washington.

Boxing experts regard it as quite unlikely that Louis will be dethroned in the bout In his last two engagements, the heavyweight champion defeated Abe Simon in the thirteenth round at Detroit and Tony Musto in a St. Louis match that lasted eight rminiis.

They just practice among themselves and tfiien wnaie xne daylights out of any team they meet. Drawn from a student body of less than 300, the team has won 51 consecutive matches in the last three years. They've waded through such teams as Northwestern, Alabama, Auburn, Kentucky, Mississippi and Mississippi State.

Red-haired Lou Faquin of Memphis, is No. 1 man. Next in line is Ed Moylan of Trenton, N. who holds his city and state singles championships and has won all 29 of his singles engagements in collegiate competition. Other members are Sandy Lund of Pensa-cola, and Bill" Wiggins and Pud Floyd, both of Memphis.

Big Bill Lee Seeks Revenge CINCINNATI, May 12 JPy-Emboldened by their first victory over the Cincinnati Reds in four tries, the Chicago Cubs are after the third rubber game of the series here today. Big Bill Lee, who lost a heartbreaking 1-0 decision to Johnny Vander Meer at Chicago last month after pitching five-hit ball, is slated to seek revenge; while Manager Bill McKechnie was undecided between Milkman Jim Turner and Monte Pearson, ex -Yankee who has been on the sidelines since the season opened. Former Golf Champ Called To Colors ATLANTA. May 12 (JP) Charlie Yates, former British open golf champion, will close up his desk as assistant first vice president of an Atlanta bank about May 31 and begin a year of military training. Yates, also a former national intercollegiate champion, said he believed it would be "a great experience for me." The Generals meet the Union City Greyhounds tonight at Lake-view at 8:00 o'clock for the second of the two-game series opener of the Kitty League season.

From the results of yesterday's game, we may look for a stem-winding good game tonight. If it is neat hurling you like, or power hitting, the Generals have it. And the Greyhounds can dish it out, too. They are an A-l team, better than last year by a long shot. All sources report yesterday's game as being most interesting.

Charley Graves, the southpaw of exhibition fame, will start on the mound tonight for the Generals, and Delmon Yount will pitch for the Greyhounds. The rest of the lineup will be about the same as yesterday. The Greyhounds are out for revenge tonight after their loss yesterday in the eighth inning rally of the Generals. The Kitty League season was inaugurated with appropriate and impressive ceremonies. Jackson and Madison county officials took the stage for the opening exercises.

Commissioner Perry H. Callahan threw the first ball to batter Sheriff Ewing Griffin, who hit a neat one into the glove of Lloyd Maloney at second base. City Engineer John Gasell officiated as catcher. The Jackson High School band raised the curtain of the season with a rendition of- the national anthem. The band played several numbers before the game, among which was the famed "Take Me Out to the BaU Game." James Goodwin introduced the players individually to the Jackson baseball fans.

The game was a hard-fought contest till the eighth inning. The Union City Greyhounds exhibited a showing of ball equal to that of the Generals throughout the game. It was a smooth, steady contest with a score of 1-1 from the third Inning to the eighth. Carl Gaiser, the Generals hurler, and Sussanny, pitcher for the Greyhounds, held the batters to few The game became a contest between the pitchers, neither of whom blew up. Lloyd Maloney succeeded in hitting a homer in the eighth to untie the score.

Newt Parker followed up with another homer with one man on base to give the Generals a count of 4-1. Johnston ran in a score In the ninth for the Greyhounds, making the count 4 to 2.

BY BILL BONI Associated Press Sports Writer While the Brooklyn Dodgers, two full games out in front in the National League, head West today, and the Cleveland Indians, pacing the American League by three, are bound for their first swing through the East, the New York Yankees finish up their first road trip in Boston. It develops that the Yanks, lo and behold, are in fourth place. This would seem a surprising level for a team which the experts thought would battle the Indians for pennant neck-and-neck, tooth-and-nail, lhammer-and-tongs, and perhaps even bacon-and-eggs. But the figures back of the Yankees' performance for the season's first four weeks leave little doubt why their status is so humble.

They have, at present, only two regulars batting over .300 (Bill Dickey, 371. and Joe DiMaggio. .320) and. what is more important have yet to get a winning pitching job from one of their highly-touted rookies. They plumbed the season's low yesterday, when the Boston Red Sox dropped them out of second place with a 13-5 shellacking in which four Yankee hurlers were clubbed for 17 hits.

Spud Chandler started the game, his third, and for the third time ON MAT CARD -'V Celia Blevins, the only Indian girl wrestler in the game, is matched against Mae Young of Boston on the American Legion's mat card at the Armory tonight. Miss Blevins Is a Cherokee Indian girl from Oklahoma, and features a clean style of wrestling. The wrestling program starts at 8:00 o'clock finished it in the showers. Steve Peek, Charlie Stanceu and Norm Branch followed him to the mound, which might Just as well have been in front of a firing squad. The erstwhile sluggers really had the tables turned on them in the second, when the Sox sent 12 men to the plate and seven across it Of the 14 contests the Yanks have won, three regulars Marius Russo, Red Ruffing and Lefty Gomez have accounted for nine, Ernie Bonham, a regualr after he joined the club last August, has turned in three more.

But Stanceu, Peek, Branch and Gorge Washburn, whose total of 62 wins last year in the minors looked great on paper, haven't contributed anything having been used mostly in relief in games already lost While the Yanks were being thumped yesterday, the Indians, aided by home runs by Ray Mack and Hal Trosky, won the opener of a double-header from the St. Louis Browns, 7-5, but then were nosed out in the nightcap, 6-5. The Tribe seemed to have put this one on ice by scoring a run in the ninth for a 5-3 lead, but the Brownies bunched four singles to tie it in their half and triumphed in the tenth with a triple and single. Another 10-inning battle saw the Washington Senators bow to the Philadelphia Athletics 10-8. Buddy Lewis hit a two-run triple and then brought in the tying marker for the Nats in the ninth, only to become the goat an inning later when his error let in the A's winning run.

In Chicago, meanwhile, 40-year-old Ted Lyons, with the nine days' rest, pitched a seven-hitter to best the Detroit Tigers and Tommy Bridges, 2-1. The White Sox veteran fanned five and walked six. The Dodgers and St. Louis Cardinals kept their two-game distance at the head of the National League parade, Brooklyn by shading the Phillies 6-5, and the Red-birds with a 7-4 conquest of the Pittsburgh Pirates. A nice job of relief pitching, three-hit ball for eight innings by lanky southpaw Cliff Melton, gave the New York Giants an 8-3 decision over the Bostan Bees.

For the Chicago Cubs, the man of the day was Claude asseau. The towering right-hander shackled the Cincinnati Reds except during one inning, the sixth, when they put together their only three hits, all singles, for their lone run. The Cubs meanwhile made a dozen safeties good for a 9-1 verdict Yesterday's Stars (By The Associated Press) Ray Mack.

Nashville Vols Move Up A Notch In The Southern (Br The Associated Press) Nashville's climbing Vols had a good toe hold on second place in Southern Association standings today, but still were eight games back of the galloping Atlanta Crackers. The Vols moved up a notch yes terday by sweeping a doubleheader from Memphis 3 to 1 and .8 to 4, dropping the Chicks to third place. Atlanta lost its first game to Birmingham. 5 to 4, but snatched the nightcap, 6 to 0. behind the brilliant two-hit pitching of big Ed Heusser.

The second game win was the Crackers 25th in the first 30 games Chattanooga fell from first divi sion after taking a double loss from New Orleans. 8 to 2 and 7 to 0. It gave each club 12 victories against 16 losses for the season. It was the Lookouts second Sunday twin loss in a row, both times to open a home stand.
