~~ GOLDEN GLOVERS representing 30 cities competed inthe Tournament of Champions at Chicago early this week and as a rule they were in better condition than the amateur fisticuffers who fought in the big event in other years Evidently the answer was condition and extra curricular coaching and training by Uncle Sam. ... In 32 quarter-final fights held on Wednesday night at Chicago stadium, only two ended by direct Kk. 0, four others by technical k. 0. . . . There was a time jn the past Tournament of Champions when a Slazbang k. 0. ‘was the rule, a decision the exception. “There's one of the best testimonials the army and navy athletic programs have,” said Lt. Vern Woodward, boxing coach at the Pensacola, Fla, Naval Air center and former assistant boxing coach at the University of Wisconsin, “Most of these lads are in the service, or have been, I remember the day in Golden Gloves when the third round was a~mauling, hanging-on to the bell affair. They didn’t do that in this 1644 tournament. Almost every boy paced. ‘himself nicely; weathered storms and had enough stuff at the finish to reach his corner without falling on his face. “You can credit Uncle Sam with a great deal of that stamina,” "the lieutenant added.

Louisville's 4-F Roster at New High

LOUISVILLE threatens to win the “championship” in the 4-F league. . . . The American association Colonels have rounded up 19 players who were rejected for military service. .... The club roster now totals 34. When Catcher Bob Collins was with the Chicago Cubs in 1940, he gave his birthday as Sept. 18, 1909 . . . which would make him only 34 now. . , . But when he signed with the New York Yankees recently his age was given as 38. . . . Rick Ferrell, big league catcher, now lists his birth year as 1905, whereas it formerly was printed on the rosters as 1906.

Whitehead to Be Back With Toledo

JOHN WHITEHEAD, veteran Toledo pitcher, has been rejected by his draft board and will be available for duty with the Mud Hens ‘this year. ...Packy Rogers, former Indianapolis infielder, passed his pre-induction examination recently and selected the navy. . The name on the induction papers read Stanly Hazinski. ! s = = s 8 = JACK SALTZGAVER, Kansas City’s new manager is 38 but expects to play much of the time himself, unless there is more material available than now seems likely. ... He has been with the Blues since 1938 as player and coach. Six graduates of the 1943 amateur ranks have been signed py the Chicago White Sox.

Adam Brown Paces Detroit To 6-5 Victory Over Rangers

, By UNITED PRESS The Chicago Black Hawks enlivened the stretch battle for playoff positions in the National league hockey race today by pulling up even with Toronto in third place, while Detroit closed its books for the season with the New York Rangers showing a profit of eight victories and one tie against one defeat. Chicago gave 11,913 home fans the benefit of a late finish and won 4-2, from the Boston Bruins last night. The Black Hawks af one time were behind 2-1 after Boston had 2 rallied on successive goals by Pat Egan and Norm Calladine in the | second period. Clint Smith scored twice for the winners with Doug Bentley and Billy Mosieno getting the others. Bentley put Chicago ahead with his shot in the final 10 seconds of the second period, and the Hawks never again were headed. Bentley moved into second place in the league scoring race with 63 points, while Mosienko moved to] fourth with 61 and Smith reached | fifth spot with 60.

Detroit had a surprisingly difficult time in setting back the visiting New York sextet, 6-5, after mauling the Rangers mercilessly in previous visits . there this season. Adam Brown paced the winners with three goals with Carl Liscombe tapping in two and Bill Quackenbush getting the other. Johnny Mahaffy got two goals for New York and as Demarco, Gaston Gauthier and Bryan Hextall scored the others. Detroit ‘had to come from behind in the third period witly two goals {by Quackenbush and Brown after the Rangers went ahead on Mahaffey’s second shot.

Anderson Indians in the first game of the regionals here at 1:30 p. m.

The second game will pit comparatively unknown Amo against Greenfield and the winners of the afternoon game will tangle in the regiona] finals at 8 o'clock that night. But the unexpected always happens in basketball and thére is no reason why the 1944 tourney should be any exception. “Especially in the Hornets does the tourney have a good dark horse for those charges

they play their best when the chips are down. Elsewhere. in the state, freethrow practice was the order of the day today as 64 sectional champions tapered off practice for

play. Most of the competing teams eschewed strenuous scrimmage

practices this wees to avoid injuries, and all were given a chance tor work out on the unfamiliar floors where the tournaments are to be played. The picture at the other 15 regionals was something like this:

AT BRAZIL—The winner of the Brazil-Terre Haute State high afternoon game was favored for the title, but Mooresville’'s upsetters of Martinsville may keep on winning. Switz City also plays here.

AT CRAWFORDSVILLE—Waynetown, winner of 24 straight, was expected to keep rolling over Hillsboro, Bainbridge and Bridgeton.

AT EVANSVILLE — Evansville Bosse looked too strong for Boonville, Princeton and Dale.

AT FT. WAYNE—Warsaw was rated ap inside chance to upset defending state champion Ft. Wayne Central, if both get past early games against Stipshewana and Garrett. AT HAMMOND—A well-balanced meet with Gary Emerson holding a slight edge over Hammond high, La Porte and Mt. Ayr. AT HUNTINGTON—Another even choice among Liberty Center, Decatur, Montpelier and Huntington township. AT LAFAYETTE—Fowler, which meets Frankfort, and Thorntown, foe of Lafayette, both were confident of dumping their betterknown opponents, but the name teams were expected to come through.

AT LOGANSPORT—Undefeated Converse was expected to run its winning streak to 27, with opposition by Logansport, ' Monticello and Delphi. AT MARION—Kokomo faces a potentially powerful Tipton team in an afternoon game which was expected to be the king-maker, but Gas City or Chester Twp. could be troublesome.

AT MUNCIE—New Castle foresaw little trouble with Centerville in the afternoon, but felt that Muncie Burris would beat Parker and be tough in the finals.

AT RUSHVILLE—Batesville's de-fense-minded Bulldogs appeared strong enough to retain their- re-| gional crown over Aurora, Conners- | ville and New Salem. AT SEYMOUR -— Bedford was given a slight edge here because of | injuries to Jeffersonville’s Capt. Von Hisey, Brownstown and Paoli complete the field.

AT WASHINGTON-—-Washington was expected to beat Decker and Jasper was favored over Sullivan in afternoon games, thus sétting up a “natural” between two southern powers.

Notre Dame ends its season against Camp Grant at the Chicago stadium tonight in the only game to be played by a Hoosier quintet.
