CROCAN'S PLANS COMEBACK TRAIL, ENDS IN SCHOOL
Candidate for Lightweight Title Accepts Job
 Teaching Boys
By RANDALL BLAKE

OMAHHA. Neb., Feb. 10.-Tommy Grogan. omaha boxer who in 1929 was a leading candidate for the light weight title, has tossed all comeback plans aside to accept a job at Father Flanagan's nationally known home for boys.
 Still a young man-he's just 30 -Grogan will devote himself to directing the physical education of the homeless lads at Boystown, the official name for Father Flanagan's institution. His decision was made after he had gone to New York last winter on a comeback effort and ap- peared in one bout, winning on a foul.
 The Omaha Irishman started from scratch as a boxer. With not so much as one amateur bout be- hind him, he climbed into the ring as a professional and won IT con- secutive fights.
 Stepped the Fargo Express
 After 25 fights, he met Billy Pe- trole here when the Fargo Ex- press" was pounding along under fun steam, and won technical knockout
 From then on he was a drawing card. Among the fights that fol- lowed were two with Ray Miller, the southpaw killer, at Detroit, and one with Tony Canzoneri at New York, in which Grogan floored Canzoneri for two nine counts.
 His first bout with Miller was the most sensational in his career. Tom my knocked Ray down five times in the second round but Miller had rubber in his shoulders that night and bounced right back up. In the fourth round Miller connected with one of his famous left hooks and the fight ended abruptly.
 He'll Teach Elm To Duck
 In 1933 Grogan left the ring with the comment my health comes first, and it's time for me to quit Twice he tried brief comehacks, the last being his recent fight in New York.
 I'm through now" said Grogan as he directed his first class in box ing at Boystown. m spend the rest of my time teaching these young gters to duck"

Huge Stone Lion, Ages Old, Discovered in Mace
 donian Wilds

ATHENS, May 10.--A great stone lion, dating from the early fifth century. B. O., and considered one of the most sensational archaeolo- gical discoveries in recent years, has been found in the wilds of Macedonia.
 It is being reconstructed by the French School of Archaeology, and when complete will measure IS feet from the base to the head. The base is 12 feet high.
 The discovery resembles the fa- nous lion of Charronea, near The hes. It is said to represent high CT development in art, however, and to be even more majestic. The Greek government is contemplat ing the construction Of an exten- sion of the main thoroughfare from Salonika to the south so that the statue may be more accessible.
 The heroic pile is believed to commemorate Spartan victory over Amphipolis, Macedonia, during the Peloponesian Wars.
 British soldiers who were en- camped near the ancient site of Amphipolis during the World War are said to have been the first to find fragments. Last spring work men engaged in drainage project in the Strymon Valley unearthed more fragments.
 American Minister Lincoln Mac Veagh, who takes a keen interest in archaeology, visited the monu ment recently and is to assist in collecting subscriptions for the re- storation.
 On clear days the monument will oe visible from the sea.
 A salmon salting outfit, consist ing of 500 barrels and 30 tons of salt arrived at Seldovia recently for H. H. Malcolm who intends to engege in the salmon salting busi- ness during the coming season.

It was wise move that Bill Ter " made when he signed the vet eran Mark Koenig with the in tention of keeping him on as utility infielder.
 Signing Koenig was like taking out So much infield insurance to protect the Giants in case any of the regulars struck a snag. A one-man infield, Mark can do a capable jcb of filling in at any spot.
 He proved that on the training trip when he filled in for Critz one day and the next relieved Jackson at third He can step in and give Bill Terry day Of rest on a mo- ment's notice.

Misleaders Block MWIU Proposals
For Merger of two Seamen'S Unions

SEATTLE, Jan. 10--At the ISU
meeting Monday night a COM
munication calling upon the ISU
to elect joint negotiating COM
mittee to work out a basis for the
merger of the ISU with the NV
III was railrOaded and rejected
by reactiOnary officials. Only ex-
tracts were read by Pete Gill. The
MWIU committee was refused
the floor and a motion was so
wOrded as to cause confusion in
the minds of the members: "All
NOT In favor of letting the Marine
Transport Workers in, signify by
saying Aye"
At the LILA meeting of the ex-
ecutive board, Taggart took this
position: I'm against this mer-
ger. Every chance / get to do you
fellows harm, I'll do it," and re-
ferred to the many leaflets print
ed during the strike exposing him
and stating that he had bundle
of these leaflets a foot high at
his home.
Morton stated: "Since I've been
so unfortunate as to be elected
president, you fellows are knock
ing me-" of course he was against
the merger.
Buckmaster, reactionary ISU
delegate and boot-boy of Pete
Gill, made vicious attack on
the merger and even went so far
as to tell the LILA executive board.
they would be out of order in en-.
dorsing the proposal, even If they
did, the ISU would refuse to en-
dorse it. After making this state
ment he spent five minutes in
praising Pete Gill.
LundbeTg, apparently an hon.
est sincere union member, to
judge by his past actions, sup
ported the stand of Buckmaster,
Morton and Taggart in condemn.
