Mayo, Petro Remain
In Eastern Golden
Gloves Battling
Former, Scoring Speedy
Knockout, Is Favored
To Win Title Tonight
Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK, March 6.-Two
Washington, D. c., youngsters re-
mained in the running for Eastern
Golden Gloves crowns as the thin
ming field OF leather-pushers pre-
pared to move into the semifinal
round tonight. Gilbert Mayo, SEN
sational featherweight. and Danny
Petro, rugged flyweight, will carry
the National Capital banner into
action.
Mayo is q strong favorite to win
the title as result Of his bltzkr1es
last night at the expense Of Larry
Frascella Of Trenton, N. j., whom
he rocked to sleep in 80 seconds.
It was the swiftest kayo recorded
thus far in the current tournament
and one Of the shortest fights in
Golden Gloves history.
Frascella, apparently determined
to make short shrift Of Mayo, tore
from his corner at the first stroke Of
the bell and backed Mayo into his
own corner with hail of gloves. A
short right-hand chop to the head
staggered Mayo, and he appeared on
the verge of knockout, but as Fras-
celia stepped in for the kill the
Washington feather nailed him with
q left hook to the head. The blow
drove the Italian into the ropes, and
Mayo was on him like a panther
Another clean shot, this time q right
to the jaw, stretched Frascella for
the 10 count.
Petro advances to the semifinals
automatically as a result of his vic
tory over Preston Ferrell Of Newark
In Monday nights opening round.
The boys are battling for berths
on the all-Eastern squad, which will
meet survivors of the Western tour
nament in a grand finale for ma
tional championships later in the
month.
There is a chance that Jim Brady,
Georgetown University ught-heavy-
weight, who lost to Defending Cham
pion Stanley Goicz Monday, may get
a place on the Eastern team. Spike
Webb, Naval Academy boxing coach,
who will tutor the Eastern team,
was reported to be seeking Brady's
services, since Goicz will be unable to
finish out the tournament because
of bad eye. Brady was the victim
of a poor decision in his bout with
Goicz.
Pairings for tonight's bouts were
to be drawn this afternoon. Petro's
opponent will be selected from
among Ray Wyzykiewca Of Buffalo,
Mike Groucheli of Hudson County
or Demetrio Carabella of New York.
Mayo will fight Louis Valentine of
New York, Frank Donate of Phila-
delphia or Lou Cecere Of Syracuse.

University of Florida football play
ers have discontinued spring prac-
tice until they learn whether Josh
Codys successor as head coach
plans to install q new system Of

Members Of the squad in a signed
statement explained yesterday that
we can see no use to continue

Is not going to be employed again

Meanwhile, it was announced Of
ficially at Philadelphia that Cody,
who resigned as Florida athletic
director and head coach, will be line
coach at Temple.
Williams May Get Job.
Ray Morrison resigned, as head
coach at Vanderbilt Monday to ac-
cept the head coach position at Tenn
pie. and Cody's resignation fol-
lowed quickly. Cody served under
Morrison at Vanderbilt before COM
ing to Florida.
The vacancy in the head coach
ing Job started the usual buzz OF
speculation.
One Of the aforementioned pos
sibilities was that Harold Will
liams, backfield coach under Cody
and former assistant to DR.. Jock
Sutherland at Pittsburgh, would be
named.
The university Athletic Com
mittee had not planned to meet
until the first week in April, but
the teams refusal to continue prac-
tice made it likely an early meet
ing would be held.
Cody Agrees With Boys.
I'VE feel that it would be unfair
to us and our studies to continue
practice with the situation so indef-
inite," said the players statement.
Cody, whose resignation is effec-
tive April l, declared, What the
boys have done is based on sound
reasoning, and I can understand
their actions"

another Sutherland assistant, were
brought to Florida by Cody last
year to assist him in inaugural

Yankees Give Grissom
Big League Welcome
BY JOHN LARDNER,
Special Correspondent Of The star.


ST. PETERSBURG, Fla, March 8
NANA)-The first thing the New
York Yankees said to Lee Grissom,
their new southpaw pitcher, was,
welcome to the big league!"
Thank you, boys" said Mr.. Gris-
som quietly. II have paid my debt
to society and am glad to be amongst
you"
Mr.. Grissom came to the Yankees
from the Cincinnati Reds OF the
National League, carrying his
reprieve in his inside coat pocket.
He was sprung for good behavior
by Warden VIII McKechnie, who.
obtained Joe Beggs in exchange.
Beggs was convicted Of being Of no
particular use to the Yankees, and
was sentenced to serve a short
stretch-"one to FIVE" as they say
In criminal circles-with the Na-
tional League.
Mr.. Grissom seems to be In good
shape, aside from his prison pallor
and a slightly hangdog look, COM
mon among National Leaguers. He
says his arm Is loose as a goose.
He shows no sign Of the leg injury
which he suffered a year and a
half ago, while attempting to steal
a base in desperate effort to escape
from the Ford G. Frick Memorial

Brooklyn another notch?

Ter of the Yankees-who has his
chance to be another all-time star
serious, hard-working, clean living,
with the power needed for the mod
ern game? Keller can move a long
way up the line.
10. What will happen to young
Bennie Mccoy, the $45,000 rookie
with Connie Mack's Athletics? He
will be underneath one of the hot
spots of the spotlight. He is an
other who deserves the test Of ex-
perience.

ciplined Pirates? You can't tell in

Anywhere but Brooklyn,
Grissom FIGURED

Now, Grissom may not be much

loaded against any pitcher who has
had trouble with his business arn1,-
and the Yanks are fast company.
Grissom-"Old Pimple Head" as the
Yankees call him In their affec-
tionate way-may be all washed up.
But Manager Joe Mccarthy ap-
pears to have faith In Lefty. The
story of how Mr.. Mccarthy rescued
Mr.. Grissom from life sentence at
hard labor in the National League
is one Of the great prison stories Of
all time-moving, stirring, full OF
rich pathos, like the story Of Jean
Vatican. 1t brings a tear to your
correspondent eye (the one that
was shot out in the Boer War;.
Grissom made six or eight daring
attempts to escape from the Ma
tional League At one time, with
infinite patience, he made rope
ladder out Of the bristles in his
shaving brush. But when it was
finished the club was in st. Louis
and rope ladder is no good In st.

Another time Lefty attempted to
chisel his way out of the clubhouse
in Brooklyn with a rough tool con-
structed from his spoon (they don't
allow knives to inmates of the Ma
