HE HANDLED A TOTAL OF 71 BATTED BALLS LEAGUE SPORTLIGHT In December of 1947, a strike was called in a textile plant in New England, and when the picket lines first appeared everybody thought they were only part of the usual bluff and bluster that went with contract-renewa- l time. But as the days added up to weeks and the weeks to months, the townspeople began to worry.

The real fighter is a street fight- RICE The old Manassa Mauler Is still in fine health. He isnt so old at that. He moves along with a stride and usually looks to be in a hurry. He is still refereeing wrestling and boxing matches and keeping busy one way or another. What a harvest a Dempsey could reap today as much as he wanted to carry away. s free-swingi- er because he likes Looking Back to fight. He likes brawls. From the street he moves to some small boxing club and if he is good, he begins to Or.nU.nd Rice haye killed off the smaller clubs today. There is no place for the street fighter to go, since he isnt ready for the bigger clubs. . I dont think, Jack said "that yon and I are going to see another good heavyweight. It will be many years before another good one comes along. They seem to he getting worse In place of getting better. When 1 came up there were a Jot of little clubs where you could fight for $10 or less. But you kept learning something. There were a lot of fellows around then who could either box or punch. In one fight I was knocked down nine times before I won. There are not enough fellows who are hungry today. Most of them can pick up $80 to $90 a week. You can't go hungry on that I couldnt tell you how many times I never had a dollar or even a half dollar. And there were no good jobs around. A hungry fighter will fight twice as hard as one well fed. The middleweight crop Is They good, Jack continued. should get some action from LaMotta, Grasiano, Vlllemain, Robinson and several others. This Is a pretty fair division. But when you talk about heavyweights you are seemingly talking about an entirely different group of fighters. They wont train and they wont learn. They get punch drunk before they learn bow to fight. Its a funny situation. There are supposed to be ,500,000,000 people in the world. If there were just one good heavyweight in this bunch of people he could make $1,000,000 easy. . But there Isnt a heavyweight fighter not a good one in the lot. Joe Louis is too old and Eszard Charles Is too small and too careful. at Some Bowls Taking a fairly long look forward, It was Bud Wilkinsons Oklahoma Sooners who proved to be the top of all bowl entries. Oklahoma deserved equal rating with Notre Dame and Army this last fall and crushing L.S U., 35 to 0, confirmed For its high ranking promotion. after all. L.S.U. had whipped North Carolina, Rice and Tulane, three conference champions. j Oklahoma starts 1950 with 21 straight. But the Sooners lose more than a few stars, Including some high grade backs and star linemen, so Wilkinson can hardly expect to keep his 1949 pace. Just when the West coast is going to break up Midwest domination is anybodys hazy guess. It will be interesting to see whether the Big Ten and the Far West will renew contract on the fading five-yethe same basis. It is well known that the Far West wants only the two champions to meet every year. The Big Ten still wants the three-yea- r clause inseVted. The contract has another year to run. One of the original ideas of the Big Ten entry into the bowl list was to prevent the South from cleaning up at the Rose Bowl year after year. This idea failed to work on New Years day when North Carolina, L.S U., Rice and Kentucky all took away large bas packed with gold. North Carolina carried home over $120,000. Ohio State and California got little money comparatively. The Giants of 1950 Being a smart baseball man, Leo Durocher is indulging himself in no idle dreams about his pitching selection for the next world series. Not with the Dodgers, ' Cardinals, Phillies and Braves barring the road. "Weve lost a little of our punch, Leo says, but after all, the Giants were not so hot when they were breaking all past home run records. We'll have a much stronger defense.

If In- dians were wait-Ing Minute Fiction to him, ambush Eben felt wuld choose the sick. It offered a means of escape, should the mail rider by any chance be accompanied by an escort. Eben felt once more of the leather pouch that was tied behind the saddle. Contained therein was a dispatch of the utmost importance for Gen. Newton at Albany. Col. Albee of the Bennington garrison had called Eben aside that morning. No one is supposed to know youre carrying the papers, Eben. An escort would only excite suspicion. You must go alone. There is, of course, the possibility that Bon-nethe white renegade, and his Indian cutthroats, have learned what Im up to. In any event, if youre attacked, destroy the papers. He sat for a long time studying the valley without moving. A curious sense of excitement stirred his blood. Without knowing why, he sensed danger. A minute later he glimpsed a column of smoke rising from the summit of a hill across the valley. A signal fire! They had sighted him. Eben sucked in his breath. Well, his chances of getting through were pretty slim now. There was Hoo- SA WRECK FOUR SAPLINGS "An yo is black aint yoT continued the chairman. Sho nuff. Well, den, considah yoself black bald.

The new member pointed out a man with whom he had been chatting a few minutes before. said the president, O. K., you just wait here. Everything A your seat," she said, "the class will begin."
