NEW YORK, Feb. 7.-Ernie Vigh
and Billy Soose, a couple of young
fighting fellows trying to get along
tangle in Madison Square Garden
tonight to see who has been wrong
for the last couple of years.
Each has been banging along the
middleweight trail for about two
and half years. Tonight whoever
can knock the other fellows ears
down gets a shot at Ken Overlin's
world championship in March.
The betting odds and lot of
other things, including his press
clippings. favor Billy, the glamour
boy from Penn State College. But
Ernie, a serious young guy with a
cement chin, has a very handy
equalizer. He can knock out any
one he can hit on the chin-with
either hand, at that.
Vigh Liked. Despite Odds.
AS a result. this corner goes against
the handwriting and picks Vigh to
take care of Billy in the approved
style, despite the ballyhoo which has
attended the lanky Farrell penn

outpointed both Overlin and the

If Heinie Manush's sacroiliac will
only behave itself for the next three
days, the once great outfielder is
going to be a hard man to lick in
the ball players golf championship,
which goes into the match play, or
sulphuric stage today at the Jungle

Heinie, left handler on the links

fine golf yesterday in posting his

conquered day-long rain, which

give in to back pain that sent him

Helnie didn't even know he

now. Every so often the thing slips

Horrimun's Declaration
encouragement to Non-Axis Nations
Seen as Inspiration for Broadcast

The object Of this maneuver would,
Of course, be to produce . stalemate
In the war. This would permit the
Nazi chief to retain such of his con-
quests as seemed feasible and TO
keep the rest Of the countries under
his control through rigid customs
unions. In other words vastly en-
larged Reich would be the center
of q Nazi federation, comprising all
the nations of the continent, in
Guiding the vastly rich conquered
Russian territory.
The weakness Of this plan at
present is that the Europe which
Is now under the Na1 hegemony
Of force isn't self-contained by q
long way. 1t lacks vital supplies
for the prosecution OF war-oil, for
instance-which Hitler must have
to survive. This accounts for his
fierce and bloody efforts to break
into the Caucasus where the oil is
to be had. This region, too, like the
Ukraine, Is one Of the worlds
greatest agricultural centers.
If Hitler could add this oil and
grain to his other acquisitions, he
might be in position to carry on
war Of attrition for a long time
provided always that Europe would
cooperate with him fully In his
new order" Anyway, there are
many signs that he has this hope
in mind as Q compromise for an all
out victory over the Allies.
Merit In Scheme.
The scheme isn't without its
merits. The Fuehrer's idea Is to
build . fence around a fairly we'll
supplied continent and then defy
the Allies to come and get him.
That is. he digs himself in for the
duration Of the war after he has Sc
cured those additional supplies in
the Caucasus.
However, while his armies are
making progress at the gateway to
the Caucasus. he still has a long
and mountainous route to master
before he has achieved his objec-
tive. Then. too, he will have a cou-
pie OF weak spots in his European
fence to watch-the Russo German
fighting front, and Italy.
Should the Allies be successful In
driving the Axis out of Northern
Africa, the position of an already
gravely weakened Italy would be-
come a matter Of much concern to
the German leader. The Allies
might aim an offensive against the
Italian mainland If the battle In
Libya goes well. with the idea Of
knocking Mussolini clean out Of the
war at lest.
Thus far the British report that
the drive into Libya is going well.
However, the opposing forces are
locked in . great and historic tank
battle across the desert sands, and
until that is decided it's folly to
