Quite an interest is being shown in the game of checkers in the 1 valley with practically every com- i munity boasting a number of finf! rhiyers.

JEWISH BALL FANS DEMAND THAT ROOKIE WEINTRAUB RETURNS New York. April 11 (INS) Bill Terry, manager of the Now York Giants, may be forced to reverse himself and recall 1'hll Welntrnub, the Jewish outfielder, from Nashville. The demand of the Jewish baseball fans in Now York for a glimpse of Weintratib In action has been so great tit" business office may step In and ask Bill to recall the player for a month at least. The Jewish fans have boon aroused over Phil's release because they have noted he had been outhitting all the other Giants In the south. As a matter of fact, the Giants are more eager than the fans for a great Jewish player to develop to such a pluv-er, would be a gold mine to tlr owners.

CHARLEROI BANK TO OPEN SHORTLY; AWAIT FEDERAL APPROVAL The reopening of the First National Rank of Charleroi has been delayed several' times, awaiting official approval from Washington, D. C. The 1. S. government will be a stockholder of the institution which is to be a member of the Federal Reserve System.

A definite date for the reopening is expected to be set within a few days as approval from Washington is expected at any moment. Backs Labor Bill Mrs. Gifford Pinchot, wife of the governor of Pennsylvania, is pictured as she appeared before the senate committee on labor at Washington, hurling a critical attack on Hugh S. Johnson, administrator of the NRA, and urging the passage of the Wagner labor bill to outlaw employer-dominated company unions. She charged that Administrator Johnson had "thrown down his arms" in the interest of big business.

r.sa is i 1 Mr. Gifford Pinchot I 'Nine-Second Century, Seven Foot High Jump Predicted For Summer. New York, April 11 (INS) four minute mile, a 15-foot pole vault, a nine second century and a seven-foot high jump are all possible, said. Dan Ferris, secretary of the A. A.

in comment-Jug today on track prospects for the summer. Ferris accurately forecast the winter spree of word breaking last fall and since he Is recognized as one of the greatest track authorities in the country, his words bear weight. "Rill Graber of Southern California, has everything he needs to pole vault 15 feet," said Dan. Jesse Owens, the great colored star of Ohio State, is the type likely to succeed in doing a nine second century and Glenn Cunningham is the man most likely to get down to four minutes for the mile. Walter- Marty who has jumped six feetfi'i inches may be the man to add on 2 Va more ii ches.

None of them may succeed in making these records but I think Cunningham will surely do this summer and he stands the best chance of any of hanging up an even four minute, mile. "Cunningham and Bill Bonth-ron of Princeton, might meet ir the A. A. championships at Milwaukee June and if they do mile marks are sure to go overboard." Princeton, April 11 (IXS) Each passing day makes the possibility of another meeting between Princeton's Hill Bonthron and Glenn Cunningham, great University of Kansas miler, seem more and more remote, Bonthron at present is hard at. work on his Thesis and often sits up until a.

in. studying. When he isn't studying apparently lie is refusing bids to meet Cunningham and Gene Venzke of Penn, in the Kansas relays a week from Saturday. "I won't run a race until the Penn relays two weeks from Friday," the Nassau miler explained, "and it will probably be only a half mile then. I haven't got to bed before three for the last four nights and I'm all out of shape," said Banthron.

HELLER QUITS POST AT JOHNSTOWN HIGH Johnstown. April 11 Resignation of Warren Heller, former all-America halfback at Pitt, as assistant coach of athletics at Johnstown High school was announced yesterday. No statement accompanied his. resignation or the school board's acceptance of it. I "A ROSS FEELS HE CAN TAKE TOGA FROM M'LARNIN Says Jimmy Won't Stop Him As He Did Other Jewish Contenders.

I5y Pat Robinson International Xews Service Sports Writer New York. April 11 (IXS) If Barney Ross, the lightweight champion, suffers at the hands of Jimmy McLarnin. the same fat' that befell a long string of other great Jewish lighters who tangled with the deceptively cherubi: Iiishman, he will have only himself to blame. Barney insisted that the match be made. So eager was he to light Jimmy and so sure is he that he can win, that when his managers 1 indicated they might reject the' match.

P.irney hopped on a at Chicago and flew here to niand the match br made. "I know everybody thinks I'm biting off morehan I can chew," said Barney today, "but you'll see me win the welterweight chum-I pionship the- night of 2Sth. Everybody told me I didn't have a chance when I wanted to light Tony Canznneri but I licked Tony and I'm just as sure I can take McLarnin. I simply must heat if only to even up for some, of the Jewish boys he's stopped. "Here's the way I figure it.

Jimmy's stable worn. He can't be half as good as 'he was because he's fought only one round in two years. Yes, that's right only tine round of fighting in two years. Look it up and you'll see his last fight was a year ago when he stopped Young Corbttt in one round and it was a year before that he had his second last fight. "He didn't liik so hot against Corbett.

They tell me Corbett was belting him all over the lot before Jimmy suddenly landed a wild right and out went Corbett. "McLarnin's been fighting for many years an he's certainly not getting any younger. No man can lay off for a year and be as good he was. "Another thing. None of those boys he stopped so easily were as big or as strong as I am.

I don't want to boast but I ask you if 1 Singer. Terris or Ooldstein were big as I am or could take a punch like I've shown I can. i "I've been studying Jimmy a for a long time and I think I know the way to lick him. "I'm not making a sucker match and I'm not overmatching myself, I know a lot of people think I'm fighting Jimmy just because we'll draw a big gale but that Isn't so. I could get a guarantee to fight Canonerl again and I could get for meeting Frankie Klick in San Francisco.

Do you think I'd be such a chump as to toss away that kind of money if I wasn't sure I could beat McLarnin? There's one Irisher I know I can lick. You watch me do it." Fair enlugh, Barney, we'll all be watching. Try selling your house, advertising in the Classi- 1 otm IjCd COIlimnS OI lhc IMl Republic icaii. II I i 1 i I Eight Teams Represented At Meeting of Church League Mushers. Representatives of eight teams were present meeting of tho City Church VMushball League Monday night in the Methodist church but no definite plans were made for a league this summer.

Although all present showed interest and indicated their willing ness to be a part of the proposed organization, netion was delayed because one of the city's playing fields, the Fifth Street field, might not be available. It is understood that the Pittsburgh Coal Company, owners of the tract of land on which the playing site is located, may have some objection to use of the tract as a ball field this year. I'ntil loop officials can straighten this matter out satisfactorily or obtain another playing site, it is not expected that any further organ-1 Ization will take place.

A GROUP of my friends astonished me the other day by getting out one afternoon and playing Rcnib with nn Indoor baseball. So I suppose the time of year when outdoor exercise Is more or less Inevitable lias arrived. When ever 1 discuss the question of exercise someone says to me, "I thought you didn't believe In exercise. Of course, I have never said any such thins.
