Mize Takes , Army Exam

‘ST. LOUIS, Feb. 25 (U. P.).—Big Johnny Mize, slugging first baseman of the New York Giants, today awaited results of a preliminary selective service physical examination which will determine whether he is to be reclassified from 3-A to 1-A; Mize, who never has hit under 300 in his seven-year major league career, took the examination yesterday and probably will be reclassified within a week. He shares the National league record for most homers hit by a lef-hander with Chuck Klein at 43. “It’s anyone’s pennant race now,” Mize said as he took his “screening” examination. “Up until a few weeks ago it looked as if the Giants would be in the thick of the flag battle. Now it all depends upon whether married men will be permitted to play.” Mize said he weighed 244 pounds, 14 over his best playing weight,

Largest Pool

GREAT LAKES—World’s largest indoor swimming pool, accommodating 700, was opened at the Naval

throughout the championship season. : A year ago the Indians took 39 players to training camp, with the squad split in this way, 10 infielders, 10 outfielders, three catchers and 16 pitchers. The division this year is seven infielders, five outfielders, four catchers and 14 pitchers. Where the pinch for war-time manpower hits Cleveland is the infield and outfield. A year ago the Indians brought up from minor league clubs nine infielders and outfielders for trials, but for the same spots this season Manager Lou Boudreau will have only three candidates to look over.

16 in Service

The lone minor league outfield candidate to be tested is Henry Edwards from Baltimore. The rookie infielders are Ted Sczepkowski from Baltimore and Vern Frieburger from Cedar Rapids. Sixteen stars on a service flag indicate the whereabouts of other players who normally would have been bidding ‘for regular berths. The ‘Indians last\season finished fourth, 28 games behind the pen-nant-winning New York Yankees and only two games out of the second division. Yet service calls have hit rivals so much more severely than the Indians that Manager Boudreau forecasts the tribe as “the team to beat for the flag.” Only a war could bring about such a situation, 33 Exhibitions

Comparison of the 1942 and 1643 training pamphlets brings out another interesting fact. The Indians last season played 33 exhibition games as against 15 scheduled this year. The Indians of '42 played exhibition contests at Tampa, St. Petersburg, Orlando, Clearwater, Lake Wales, Sanford, Miami and Jack-

‘|sonville in Florida; Hattiesburg and

Greenville in Mississippi; Alexandria and Shreveport in Louisiana; Little Rock, Ark.; Oklahoma City, Okla.; Wichita, Kas.

Evansville, Ind. The 43 Tribesmen will not receive the benefits of such an “educational” tour. They'll play only in Muncie, Indianapolis and Richmond, Ind.; Dayton, Springfield, Middletown and Cincinnati, O. That's baseball’s evidence of rationing.

Cincinnati Seeks Denner’s Suspension

CINCINNATI, Feb. 25 (U. P.).— The Cincinnati Boxing commission today sought suspension of Abe Denner of Boston following cancellation of his scheduled 10-round bout with N. B. A. featherweight champion Jackie Callura. Promoter : Ben Becker obtained cancellation of the bout, slated for tonight, on grounds that Denner violated his contract by appearing in a fight less than six days before his local appearance. He dropped’ a preliminary bout to Angel Aviles of Mexico City in Cleveland Tue day night.

ney with Roosevelt bumping into Hammond and Hammond Clark meeting Wheeler. In the Ft. Wayne center, powerful Central meets Elmhurst while New Haven and South Side fight it out. Gary Emerson and Gary Wallace meet Wirt and ‘Washington township, respectively, in the Gary playoff. Elwood has issued a challenge to the Anderson Indians in a tilt that may find the favored Indians going by the wayside. Jasper, a finals’ choice, battles Ireland. -

Riley Is Threat Two other tourney favorites, Columbus ‘and Muncie Burris, meet initial tests in Franklih Township and Eaton, respectively, as Lebanon goes against Zionsville. Bloomington squares off with Stinesville in what is expected to be a preliminary warmup for its probable battle with Martinsville later. South Bend Central, a popular favorite to cop the crown before the sectional pairings, suddenly found itself in a bracket that is tough enough to scare the “whiz” out of the Whiz Kids of Illinois, But the

Bears have the power although they will face a serious threat from South Bend Riley. Defending champion Washington,

riddled by graduation losses and “lost” among pre-tourney favorites, is expected to have enough strength to survive the sectionals against a lineup of smaller teams. Other sectional favorites are Bedford, which has recovered from a serious slump in mid-season, and Evansville Central, which gets the nod over Bosse and Memorial. Little Speedway, one of the three Marion county teams that was shoved into another sectional list because of the 19-team entry at Indianapolis, offers a threat to Danville in tha. sectional. Rochester, winner of 18 out of 20 games, is a heavy favorite as is Vincennes in their respective sectionals. That's the way the dope sheet reads, but if you are acquainted with your basketball, you will know just how little that means. Anyway, the gladiators are ready and rarin’ to go. The march is on!
