NEW YORK, July 28.— Del Baker will return to his old job of coaching with the Detroit baseball club in 1942 . . . and don’t be surprised if Jimmy Dykes comes in to succeed him. . + « Dykes last winter signed a two-year contract with the White Sox, but it is understood that if he requested a release, he would be permitted to go, with Ted Lyons or Muddy Ruel taking the storm-petrel’s place.

THERE IS A LOT of wise money on the Eastern, College All-Stars to make it two straight over the Giants football team at the Polo Grounds on Sept. 3. ... The reason for this is traced to the fact that Jimmy Crowley's varsity wows include most of the heroes of those great 1940 teams at Boston College, Cornell, Georgetown and Fordham. . . . Boston

alone will send seven players into |

the battle under the arcs. .. Charlev O'Rourke, who has become the first gridiron coach at the new Cardinal Hayes Memorial High, will give the Giants plenty of pass-defense headaches. . . . And Harry Toczylowski, . Boston’s blocking quarter, will add to the festive aspects of the battle between Uncle Steve Owen’s stalwarts and the collegians. =

“Maybe we will get another crack at Attention in the Americna Derby at Washington Park next month.

The only sound alibi they could muster was that Whirlaway couldn’t have been at his best considering the rather mediocre time in which the classic was run.

Operation Set For Ruppert Park Tonight

Zivic Favored to Win With Little Trouble

By HARRY FERGUSON United Press Sports Editor

NEWARK, N. J, July 28.—Fritzie Zivic, the eminent surgeon from Pittsburgh, has an operation scheduled for 9 o'clock (Indianapolis Time) this evening in Ruppert Stadium. As usual, he will astound and confound his medical colleagues by reversing the customary surgical

procedure. Dr. Zivic will cut the patient first and then administer

{the anesthetic.

The operation probably will consume about 24 minutes—eight rounds of three minutes each. Quite a crowd will be in the amphitheater because Dr. Zivic is risking his world welterweight against one Red

who may absorb five or six of the doctor’s anesthetizing rights to the jaw before drifting into dreamland. Dr. Zivic’s work has attracted an increasing throng of enthusiasts of late. He has established himself as the neatest, ablest cutter in the business. It is true that the doctor is strictly an eye, ear, nose and

throat specialist and devotes most of his attention to lacerating and

{bruising those members of the body.

Scalpel Work

But the suspense in his fights is trying to decide whether the opponent of the moment is more messed up than somebody he operated on previously. The doctor is going to have to do considerable scalpel work on Cochrane to equal

his brilliant operation on Al Davis. The Doc was in great form that evening. He made several neat incisions around Davis’ eyes; he puffed the lips brilliantly; left a perfect half-moon scar on the chin and then administered the anesthetic. Some of his followers insist, however, that the Doc rose to the heights the night he operated on Henry Armstrong. The scalpel work was confined almost- entirely to the region around the eyes and the doctor made a fresh incision every round. After it was over, Armstrong decided that Dr. Zivic had cured

Brown-Roche Top Mat Program

Matchmaker Lloyd Carter has lined up two supporting matches to the Orville Brown-Dorve (Iron Man) Roche main event tomorrow night at Outdoor Sports Arena, but from the standpoint of the wrestling fans, all of their interest is in the headliner. Steve Brody meets Jules La Rance in the semi-windup, while Dave Reynolds opposes Charlie Lay in the 8:30 opener on the mat card. Roche’s new hold which he touts as the “octopus,” is what all of the shooting is about in the top tussle. Brown claims it is illegal and should be barred. He was a victim of it two weeks ago and Herbie Freeman was tossed with it last week. Freeman, like Brown, yelled “murder” when Dorve clamped it on. “Brown {is envious because too many of the boys have been solving his ‘Indian deathlock’ hold,” says Roche. “I've got something new and as long as the Supreme Court

Cochrane is a rugged individual who is likely to kick up quite a fuss before he succumbs to the anesthetic. He was even talking rationally of victory when they took his pulse and clamped a stethoscope over his heart. “I have been waiting vears for this chance and I sure am not going to let it slip by me,” he said.

A Fresh-Faced Kid

Cochrane has had more than 100 professional fights, but still looks like a fresh-faced kid. His face is almost unmarked, a situation that

About three years ago he was doing battle with hard-hitting Benny Bass in Philadelphia. Out of the blue came a punch that landed flush on Cochrane’s jaw just before the round ended. The bell saved him, but he was unconscious and his seconds dragged him to the corner. When the bell rang for the next round, his seconds yelled: “Stop the fight; our man’s all done.” “Heck,” said the referee pleasantly, “we never stop fights in this club. Send your man out.” Cochrane, out on his feet, staggered through the fight and floored Bass once before the battle ended.
