New Haven Eagles
 FaceDOuble Trouble

New Haven, Feb. 2l-Caught in the fury of Philadelphia Rambler bitzkrieg which has turned the eastern division of the American Hockey league into q four-way battle, the New Haven Eagles will face the Hershey Bears at the Arena on Sunday night, following 8 battle with the Sprinefeld h. dians at Springfield on Saturday night.
 The Bears are the only skaters within striking distance of the Cleveland Baronc in the western di. vision, and come here loaded with power. They hold an edge of two wins against one defeat in three meetings with the Eagles to date.
 However. Springfield has played three more games than New Haven. and Philadelphia two more than the Eagles. The Providence sextet will be idle until Sunday when the In- ddans will be taken on, while Phila- delphia faces Indianapolis at home on Saturday, and Buffalo away on Sunday.
 Thus, the advantage is with New Haven, as the locals can pick up valuable ground with a win on Sat- urday, and another on Sunday.
 The club is once again at full strength, with Marcel Tremblay back in the lineup after a months absence.

Los Angeles, Feb. 21-CUP)-H I had three cent stamp, and mail box at hand, I'd write a personal letter to James Joy (Boy Bandit) boy Bob Pastor at home.
 But being stampless and mailbox- less I'll have to trust that James Joy Johnston will see this in some paper and heed my warning. My warning to him is this: Do not send Pastor out here to fight Albert (Turkey) Thompson. The match has been tentatively arranged, I understand. As get it. 8 local pro- moter attempted to palm off Joe Louis and Pastor on the citizens of this aera, only to have the Califor- mia boxing commission, headed by Jerry Giesler, tell him something like this:
 'aThat one we don't want. Louis has licked Pastor twice, and while Robert lasted 10 rounds and Il rounds, respectively. he lasted only because he gave one-man dem- onstration of six-day bike race. We are not interested in seeing Louis lick Pastro a third time and gain permanent possession. As a matter of fact, we have young colored boy in these parts named Turkey Thompson. He Is our Cal ifornia heavyweight champion. Let Pastor fight him with stipulation that the winner is to meet Louis." Good Advice
 The promoter took this advice to heart and called Jimmy Johnston in New York. Johnson accepted. Be- ing a friend of Jimmy's, and know ing thta Pastor Is his principal meal ticket. and that he depends 8 great deal on his cut of what Pastor makes to keep him in Chinese tea and walnut walking canes, I want to tell him to turn down the match.

New NOtre Dame Football Member Gives Inside
 of Grid Move

Rockland, Mass. Feb. 2I-(UP)- Frank Leahy, Notre Dannes new head football coach and athletic di- rector, says he left Boston College because his alma mater was the 'mcst valued institution in the world to me, outside of my family and my religion"
 In his first public Massachusetts appearance since leaving Boston College, Leai1y told 300 persons at sports forum here last night that Tho Notre Dame man could or would refuse.n
 Tt was not for financial reasons that l accepted the position i. B. c. authorities told me If Notre Dame ever wants you and you want to go back, we will release yu from your contract"
 Leahy's shift to the South Bend Ind, post caused sharp controversy throughout New England with opinions divided on his Judgment in making the change. "Last February B." he said, 'T signed contract to coach Boston College for five years and fully in- ter led to live up to my obligations. That same night Elmer Layden had been appointed commissioner of the National Professional Football league.
 Given Permission
 On that same night, Leahy said. Boston College told him he could go if Notre Dame wanted him. Three nights later, Notre Dame tele- phoned Leahy and asked him to come and discuss the football situ- ation.
 T told them could not 20 until the following Tuesday because of the Boston College Varsity club banquet on Sunday" Leahy said.
 Leahy refrained from mentioning his Notre Dame negotiations at the banquet, he said, because he thought he was one of many coaches in- terviewed by Notre Dame officials. Grateful
 Boston College lifted me out of obscurity," Leahy said. T owe her a deep debt of gratitude any one of 25 fellows will be able to do magnificent job at Boston Col- lege with the material that is there. The schedule Is the big problem. intend to help B. c. get on the Notre Dame schedule"

THREE MILE 60
 SURE FEATURE OF A.A.U. MEET
Fenske Withdraws Entry in Mile Run Due to Con-
 stant ''COIds"
BY PAUL SCHEFFELs Limited Press Stan Correspondent


 New York, Feb. 21 = CUP0 = Withdrawal of Chuck Fenske, 1e4O champion, from the mile in the Na- tiunal Indoor A. A. D. track and field championships in Madison Square Garden Saturday night, put the spotlight on the three-mile di- vision today.
 Fenske, unable to win . mile start this season, dropped out with three laps to in the N. Y. A. c. games last wek, and wrote A. A. U. secretary Dan Ferris that he would be unable to compete this week be- cause of illness.
 Constant colds have gradually reduced my resistance until it now is at low ebb," Fenske wrote.
 That levaes the three-mile affair with Greg Rice, pint-si1ed Notre Dame record-holder, and his per- ennial rival, Don Lash, Indiana state policeman the chief entrants, as the outstanding event of the A. A. U. meet.
 Eino Pentti, Bobby Madrid and Forest Flaw complete the field but it is the expected duel between Rice and Lash that should produce the fireworks.
 New Mark
 Rice erased Willie Ritolas indoor standard with g. 13:55.9 clocking in last years A. A. U. three-mile title event, he cracked his own record by running the distance in l3:52.3. Lash was in that race all the way and finished 15 yards behind Rice in 13:55 flat with the renowned Taisto Maxi some 12 yards back. That stands as the greatest race at that distance ever run on boards. Both Rice and Lash were well under Ri- tola's record, which had stood for l6 years while Maxi was only 6-1O of second behind that 1925 clock ing.
 Lash hoped that the strain of his 8:53.4 two-mile effort last week might begin to tell on Rice. Don an- nounced that he had purpoSely stayed out of the N. Y. A. c. two mile 50 as to be in condition for this meeting and because of the longer distance, might be able to defeat the Notre Dame alumnus. The timing of last years Rice Lash-Maki event should dash that idea. Rice covered the last half-mile of that finish meet race in 2:l2.3 and would up his record-smashing effort with 6l-Second last quarter. Actually finished the three-mile grind at pace worthy of 8 mile runner.
 I'm well rested now" Lash said today, "and you can't tell me that Rice doesn't feel all that running he's been doing this year. hope he does, anyway"

CARROLL HALTED BY ED DOLA N IN
 BOUT
Katz Easily Beats John- son; KOvach OutpOinted.
 Brown By TKO
By HUGO HooKJAB

Eddie Carroll of Ottawa, Canada may have fought some of the besi welterweights in the Dominion, but on what he showed last night against Irish Eddie Dolan, he coulc hardly have beaten any of them Dolan gave him such a bad beating for six and one-half rounds that the bout had to be stopped to save Carroll from the morgue, though Dolan strained every nerve anc muscle in his body, but could moi knock down, let alone knock out the shockproof Irishman from Ot- tawa.
 Lew Jenkins, the lightweight champion who assured Waterbury A. c. promoters he would be or hand, developed galloping dandruf yesterday morning at Il @. m. and did not appear as advertised for the past week. He is said to be stricken with the flu though he is scheduled to meet Lou Ambers in New York next Friday night, by which time, he will probably be completely recov- cred.
 As soon as the Waterbury A. c got word last night that Jenkins would be conspicuous by his ab- sence, it posted 8 notice in Mulli- gan,s restaurant to that effect and had an announcement made by radio
 Badly Beaten
 Carroll, @ tall, punched out boxer got up enough steam to hit Dolar now and then, one, particularly hard shot to the nose in the thirc round, but he paid for his occasiona sallies by taking thorough going over for six rounds DolanS trieC hard to floor him several times. but just couldn't do it, for Carroll hat an iron jaw and was able to stag. ger to his corner before the knock out came. He weighed 148 to IA for Dolan
 Eddie Suggs, classy New Bedford welterweight, won a decision ovel the over-polite Red Doty of Hart. ford, who started auSpiciously by smacking Suggs soundly on tht button, but then went into a ser ies of clinches and backtrackinf that allowed Suggs to continually outpoint him.
 Maxie Katz of Waterbury wor four of six rounds, some of them by wide margins, held his own in an. other and lost the final heat to Re1 Johnson of Pittsfield to win a mos merited decision which was ver1 strongly disagreed with by the ma jority of the crowd, who seemed tt feel that JohnSonis strong finish 1T the final round entitled him to draw. Katz won the fight from hert to Halifax in the opinion of the ref. cree who scored at 28-23 in favor o! the Jewish boy, giving Johnson ths final round by a 5-3 margin. Thert were no knockdownS. Katz sealed 161, Johnson 153.
 GillO Wins Dula Kovach of Naugatuck wal outpointed by Tony Gillo of New Haven in a si xrounder that went or after the main bout, with the boys fairly even for four rounds, Gillt scoring enough to win the nod in the final two rounds. Kovach missed badly, failed to follow up his occa- sional hard shots to the head aI1e body, while Gillo was guilty of con. siderable holding for which he wa; penalized. Each boy scaled 172 l.; pounds.
 Billy Brown of this city had nc trouble with Joe Firpo of Merider in a four-round opener, stopping Firpo in the fourth round for TKC win, his third straight win in C week.

that one if you can.
 The Stripes were dealt a severe blow when Benny Alonzo, recently promoted to the anchor spot noti- fled his teammates he was going to leave the shop. Ariola went into mysteries and threatened to bring in Ted Coughlin but finally settled for Ernie Arsenault, who in turn gave way to Don Brown. So Brownie slips into pretty good spot with first place outfit, or is it a pretty good spot, being on the spot as Brownie will be. The Suc- cess or failure of this team will probably depend on Don as to whether or not he can carry on as Benny did.
 Perry White says even though the Eagles won three games from the WhiteS-they were punk-but he cannot find words enough to de- scribe the condition of the Whites so he will just call them bunker.
 Tonight's headliner between the Stripes and Blues is a crucial one, especially for the Blues. Five games off the pace, they must win three to gain any amount of ground. How ever two games will leave them very much in the race. They positively are out if they can't win even, one. In other words 1t is going to be an "all-out" gesture on the part of Christie's club to get back in the thick of the fight. At any rate the Cap has his boys primed for the battle while on the other side of the fence, MT. Ariola has Rinaldi, Ray Single and Mickey West rarin' to go and Marie Straw all set to talk the Blues out of 8 few games.
 The Whites will have a chance to redeem themselves for last weeks poor effort, taking on Ed DuhamelS revamped Stars. Eddie figures his club is all set for 8 showdown with the Stripes after last week and he may be right, the Stars looked good as they stand now but they can't afford to fool around with Carosel- las club. Freddie's team must win this match to be considered serious threat from now out.
 The Reds with still a mathemati- cal chance of copping the bunting will square off against the unpre- dictable Eagles in the windup of this weeks slate-a very interesting and important week.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-02-21

Al Ellis, the sage of Rubber ave- nue down there in the Borough, was the big boy in the Stars two game victroy over the league lead- ing Stripes last Friday night. Al came through with strings of 147, 125 and 128 for the leagues second "4O0'' set of the entire season. Ellis's big scores were responsible for his teams triumphs in the first two matches and he did his best to make it a clean sweep but his mates let him down in the finale. By virtue of the twin victory the men of Du- Hamel cut the leaders margin to three games and pulled two games away from the Whites and Blues, with whom they were deadlocked before the nights firing began.
 The Reds as usual spelled diSaS- ter for the Blues, who were sport ing a clean record in this round. Christie's boys couldn't even sal- wage one game from the Howellmen although they mdae a valiant try in the first two matches. They lost the first by three pins and the sec- ond by four, then fell apart in the last one. We can't figure this team out, 1t should go places (says us).
 The Whites were enjoying the feeling all week, that they were go- ing to gain some ground against Billy Germans birds of prey. but it turned out that they were tak- ing too much for granted and not only did they fail to gain but they lost notch in the standing. The Eagles won all three games, top
