COskey Cracks Down On Club and Matchmaker
tspeclaI to The DeHnocrat)

Hartford, April g. suspending operation of boxing club, the Bridgeport A. c. and It's match- makers, James (Gaspipe) Voccola and Bobby Gleason, the latter a New York, State Athletic Commis- sioner Frank s. Coskey took a big step forward in 8 promised "clean- up" of ring relatives between Con- necticut and New York managers, who are dumping in all sorts of boxing thrash" to Connecticut, and became so brazen in their opera tions that New York boys are us- ing licenses other than their own. The suspensions of the matchmak- CTS and club are in effect until April 29th.
 The commissioner who declared they and a couple of New York managers, Jimmy D'Angelis and Moe Fleischer, were responsible for the appearance of Gilbert Ramos of New York in fight car here recently.
 Masquerade
 Ramos, said Coskey, Inasqueraded as Al Le Barbara in fight against Joe Ionnatti of Bridgeport which twas stopped in the second round because 1t was highly unsatisfac- tory"
 The commissioner took the drastic action after two meetings with the New Yorl; Atheltic Commission.
 He also ruled that all Connecti- cut matchmakers and promoters should refrain from entering into contracts or negotiations with D'Angelis and Fleischer for an in- definite period.
 Ramos was exonerated by the commissioner when he learned that threats had been used to force him to 20 through with the fight.
 Said Coskey: T do not blame Frank McKeon Bridgeport promot- er) for the action of the matchmak- CTS, but, as he is Voccola's employer, he must be held responsible to some extent for this misrepresentation. I have no alternative but to suspend the clubs license for the period stated.
 COnvincer
 "The suspension of Voccola alone would be waste of time because he could still act behind the scenes.
 "The action of the Connecticut commisson should go @ long way toward convincing New York man. agerS that they cannot get away with phony fights and fighters In Connecticut.
 "The New York commission has cooperated with Connecticut to the fullest extent of It's ability and is greatly concerned about clean sport, as we are in Connecticut"

New York. April 8.--(UP) - All danger of the Brooklyn Dodgers get ting Into q rut passed today, and the news of each new quarrel on the club broadened the smiles of the fans of Flatbush.
 For few tense days this spring 1t seemed that the Dodgers were go- ing l., let the customers down and turn into a well behaved group Of athletes, sending out waves of sweet ness and light. It looked desperately like Manager Leo Durocher and General Manager Larry MacPhail were going through spring training without controversy, and pitcher Van Mungo was so well behaved that there seemed only one chance in million that he would fall against a door knob and come up with one Of his classic sinners.
 But the dark days have passed. Robins wheeled and twittered above Ebbets Field today; sunshine turned the sludgy Gowanus Canal into a shining river of optimism; the tough guys in Grecnpoint slapped one an- other on the back without benefit of brass knucks.
 Annual Custom
 The Dodgers are fighting among themselves and spring has come to Brooklyn. No spring can be official across the Brooklyn Bridge until Mungo has been suspended. fined and reinstated. That formality has been taken care of now, and most of the Flatbush fans would have been satisfied to open the season week from today without any addi' tional fireworks.
 But. 10 and behold, their cup oi ioy was filled to overhowing wher they learned that Durocher ant MacPhail were in controversy Some of the more optimistic of th' Flatbush fans even expressed cautious opinion that this year

Hawaiian Champs Travel 5000 Miles
 To Take Poke At Cleveland GlOverS
Plantations Send Another Strong
 Team to Mainland

the islands sent two featherweights and two middleweights mine in all, instead of eight, due to close decisions.
 Gilbert Lowenstein, the light heavyweight leader, halls from the army post at Schofleld.
 Perhaps the classiest boxer of the Hawaiian personnel Is the hy- weight champion, Dado Marino. This is his second jaunt to the mainland. Johnny Manalo, another Hawaiian, defeated him in the final for the national championship last year. He toured Japan rinVs last fall.
 FERNANDEZ MOST
 TRAVELLED MEMBER
 It's the second trip to the states for Uasu Yasutake, the feather. He also was a runner-up in the na- tionals of 1040, and also made the trip to Japan.
 its the second trip for Henry Oshiro, bantam.
 The most travelled member of roster Is Frankie Fernandez, light- weight. This is his fourth trip to the states. He lost close decision to Georgie Toy of Cleveland, now @ professional, in the national final of 1899.
 Jose Badis, Waipahu feather, and William Dias, middleweight, are enjoying their first trip. It is the second excursion for Llewelly Stroh- lin. welter, and Ben Huihui, mid- dleweight.
 Meets such as the one between the Hawaii and Cleveland boys makes boxing worth while.

Maryland Track
 Team To Compete In Penn Games

Philadelphia. April 8-Maryland's track squad which last year electri- fed It's own followers and stunned It's rivals by wining three American championships, will compete in four events of the 47th annual University of Pennsylvania Relay Carnival, on April 25 and 20, on Franklin field.
 Not considered in the pre-meet reckonings last year, Maryland went on to win the distance medley, two and four mile championships from the outstanding colleges in the East, West, North and Middle West. Five athletes ran on the three winning teams and of that number three will again carry the baton for their alma mater.
 James Kehoe and Mason Chron- ister have graduated. leaving Ver- non Miller, Gene Ochensreiter and Tom Fields to carry on this year in the sprint medley, half mile, one mile and two mile events, all among the feature races on the extensive program.
 
 The addition of Joseph Murphy, q New Jersey boy, who made good away from home, should increase the strength of the team in the shorter events. Southern Confer ence champion In the 100 and 22C yard dashes. Murphy will run .or the sprint medley, the 880 and one mile teams.
 Fields, Southern Conference two mile champion, will more than like- ly run the anchor leg on the two- mile and the sprint medley teams while Ochensreiter, who was third in the quarter and fouth in the hali mile run, in the Conference cham pionshipsfi will be member of the sprint medley, one mile and two mile teams.
 The Maryland entries include Gene Ochensreiter, Joseph Murphy Louis Chacos and Thomas Fields sprint medley; Murphy. Robert Montgomery, Vernon Miller and Thomas Devlin, in the 880; Ochens- reiter, Fields, Robert Condon and Randall Cronin, in the two mile and Michael, Chacos, Ochensreiter and Devlin, in the one mile.
 There is a possibility that Murphy may enter the invitation 100 yard dash in which the outstanding sprinters in the country west of the Mississippi are expected to be en- tered. The fastest sprinter in Marylands history, Muruhy, if he enters the century, will be regarded as one of the favorites.

LOUIS 2O-1 OVER MUST0 TONIGHT St. Louis "Title" Bout Will Do S5O,O0O; Wagering
 on K. 0.

St. Louis, April 8.-(UP)--Dusky Joe Louis, king of the heavyweights, makes his l6th defense of the title tonight against chunky Tony Musto. of Chicago, in bout set officially for IS rounds.
 Mike Jacobs, promoter of New York who farmed out Louis services to Tom Packs for this defense, pre- dicted a gate of about $50,000 - far above early expectations. The fight was thrown out of Cleveland be- cause Musto was held an unsuitable opponent for the champion.
 Louis expects to enter the ring at 0.30 D. m. weighing close to POP pounds. Musto, described in Packs announcement as the challenger" will weigh around 195.
 Arthur Donovan, who has refe. reed 10 heavyweight title bouts, will be the third man.
 There has been an advance salt of $32,000. The Arena seats frow 15, 5,000 to l8,000 persons.
 I'll, Brown Bomber was a pro hibitive favorite. Odds were 1 to 2t with no takers. No Musto money had been found and the wagering has been limited to the round in which Louis will "blackout" Musto.

BUDDY BAER IS EVEN CHOICE TO
 BEAT GALENTO
Jersey Fat Man Gets Last Chance at Washington
 Tonight
RY ERNEST RARCELLH

United Press Staff Correspondent;
 Washington, April 8-(UP)-Tony 0alento gets Q last chance tonight to prove to his public that it's as simple to draw bead on a Baer as a beer.
 Last time Tony tried 1t, both tho beer and (Max) Baer ganged up on him. Result--Galento couldn't answer the bell for the 9th round. Tony contended then that too much grog had dulled his reflexes. Ring siders insisted 1t was case of too much Max. That was last sum- mer.
 Tonight things will be different though, according to Galento.
 Two-Ton's foe in a Hereunder at the Lline arena will be Max's younger brother, Buddy, who stands six feet six and scales 245 pounds.
 Galento VOWS he has stayed Ion the wagon" and tained for this test, whcih brings him to the cross roads of his career and holds for the winner the promise of July crack at Joe Louis.
 Tony has boiled himself down to 24O pounds. There was evidence that this was accomplished under duress. Galento did all his training at Orange, N. J., where he operates a tavern.
 Logical Move
 Realizing the temptation this pre- sen.ed to his fighter, Manager Harry Mendel printed and distributed to clients of the tavern this appeal:
 If you want to beat Buddy Bear. don't invite him to have drink until after the fight"
 There's more to tonight's brawl than the doubtful opportunity of joining Joe Louis poke-of-the- month club-a strictly horizontal union whose most recent converts include Al Mccoy, Red Burman and big Abe Simon. Galento is n char ter member, having been flattened by Joe after sending the champion to the floor.
 This particular Baer-Galento go reeks with vengeance, an item that is expected to help materially in drawing $500 fans.
 Tony is bent on blasting Buddy out of the picture and thus atoning for the indignities heaped upon him by Max. This will be Galento's first start since Max smashed him into a bloody mess.
 Buddy is equally determined. He wants to dispose of Ga.ento 50 he can get . crack at both Louis and Lou Nova--a couple of boys who did the Baer family wrong by kayo- ing Max.
 This determination has made all impression on the betting market, where early 8-to-5 odds on a. lento have dwindled to even money
