Vikings Victors
 Over Hoboes In
 Boys Club Meet

The Hoboes went to sleep in third period of their Naugatuck Valley tournament game at the Boys Club last night and the Vikings took ad- vantage of this lull and ran up enough points to give them a de- serving B to g victory over their North End rivals. Fred Coelho and John Bender were the leading lights in the charge of Coach Felix Longos brigade. ,il '' The two evenly matched quintets battled tooth and nall through the first i6 minutes of play and all they got for their efforts was 10 points on each side of the score book. Going into the third period the Vikings showed the effects of an ellightening between halves pep talk by their coach, while the Hoboes must have been listening to bod time story during their rest period. With Cocl,o and Bender combining effectively the Vikings ran ur-. ough points to easily de- feat tn wth End quintet. Whitey Duglecki was bottled up all during the play by the Vikings but man. aged to lead his teammates In the scoring column with five free throw efforts and field goal.

Tabor Benched
 With Sore Toe

Sarasota. Fla, March 2l-(UP)- Third Baseman Jim Tabor, benched as a disciplinary measure by Man ager Joe Cronin, remained in camp today as the Boston Red Sox hopped to St. Petersburg for & game with the St. Louis Cardinals.
 Cronin said last night that be- cause Tabor ''has shown he has not the best interests of the ball club at heart, he's not going to play third base for us for a time. It may be way to get him to realize that he's got to knuckle down and not act as if he was at the kindergarten age"
 The Boston managers action came after Tabor asked to be ex- cused from yesterdays practice on grounds he had sore toe.
 "If Tabor has a sore toe," Cronin said, 'he got it from kick ing over the traces. He's been a problem ever since he joined the club. I've warned him. fined him an dsuspended him in the past. Now I'm fed up."
 Outfielder Lou Finney will re- place Tabor at third against the Cardinals.

 Domenic Spallone in winning the diving championship from Tevald of Hartford proved himself the master by edging the prince of public pad- dles by a 74-7l score.

.'HILL' L'LEAGUE H COP RIVALS
 PLAY NEXT WEEK
Team to Play ''Winner Take All" at Washing
 ton Park

Though. they will allow the Bald. win Preps to take the basketball championship of the Washington Park Community League by forfeit, when they will not appear for 8 second scheduled game tonight, the Loew-Poli array, managed by James Vincenzo Bianco, who takes his pencil in hand to inform tho public that the two teams have come to terms for a series that the officials of the "hill" league will have nothing to do with.
 Warning
 Tn the meantime Manager Sid Monti of the Props wants his play~ CTS to show up tonight at the Wash ington Park Court, as scheduled, so that they can go through the forinality of being awarded the game by forfeit, but, and more in- portant, to prevent the theater troupe from pulling fast one" as Mqnti put 1t, by showing up for action at the last minute. Under tho rules, the team that wins c forfeit must be on hand and one play must take place, in charge of the referee.
 Play Next Week
 Ralph Santopietro has been agreed upon as the official for the playoff series which will be played at Wash. ington Park Court Monday, March 24, and Friday, March 28. If a third game is necessary, and Monu assures all the sundry that 1t will not be, the managers will agree upon time and place.
 Here's Manager Bianco's latest in behalf of the Loew-Poli team and relative to the agreement:
 March 20, 1941. Dear John:
 This is to inform the public that the Loew-Poli team will not play the Baldwin Props Friday night for the championship of the Washington Hill League. We will allow them to have 1t, instead, without any effort at all, by for felt, and with deep regret that such @ fine team should win in this manner, mainly because of q manager who Is more interested in his office in the league than in his duties as manager.
 Instead we will play them as true sportsmen on "winner take all" basis with a Central Board referee, and, although 1t will take place at the Community House, the League officials will have no connection with 1t. The winner will be decided by two out of three game series and we assure you that there is a strong possi- bility of two games and not e positive three, meaning that both teams will be playing to win in every game. The first two games will take place Monday, March "A, and Friday, March 28, and may the best team win.
 Sincerely,
 James V. Bianco,
 Manager,
 LoeW-Polf Five.

Irish Eddie Dolan's boxing ability once more made him competitive ly easy winner over a willing but outclassed opponent, Billy Furrone, West Philadelphia colored welter- weight before more than HOO fans last night at Buckingham Hall, Ftlrrone was a heavy puncher in his own right, when he could find" Dolan which was every now and then, but the local lad took Fur rone's Sunday punches and came back with continual barrages or leather that earned him the decis- ion. of Referee Bill Conway Of Hartford by the proverbial mile.

 BRUINS STAR, HURT BY YLEAFS
Hub Club Strong Favorite to Take Second Game;
 Bauer Hurt, Too
BY TOM NOONAN United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Stan COrrespOnuen',
 Boston, March 21 - (U.P3 --The somewhta battered Boston Bruins, still playing the style of hockey that carried them to their third straight National League title on a wave of records, were odds-on fav- orites today to take a 20 lead in a best- of seven series with Toronto to determine a Stanley Cup finalist.
 The humping Bruins. skating like whirlwinds and covering effectively scored a decisive 80 triumph over the Maple Leafs before 6 wildly. partisan crowd of 16,l00 at Bostor Garden last night In the opener oi the top playof series.
 With the second clash set for to. morrow night OH home ice, the Bruins were in a favorable position to assume commanding advantage In their struggle to regain the bat tered trophy after one-yeai lapse. The teams travel { oTorontc after this game for two contests at Maple Leaf Gardens. If other games are required, they will be played d. ternately at Boston and Toronto.
 Two Stars Hurt
 The victory, stretching Boston'f remarkable streak to 33 games witt, only one loss. was gained despite third -period injuries to two key players--Center Bill Cowley ane Winger Bobby Bauer.
 Cowley, who established a new record for assists and a modern mark for total points during the regular season, suffered q bone bruise of the right knee and pull ed ngament while Bauer's left leg was cut accidentally,
 The exetnt of Cowley's injury will be determined today by X-rays Bauer, however, definitely will be available for the second game. Cow ley, who was banged constantly, was tossed heavily to the Ice while try. ing to lead a rush from the Boston end when he received an illegal leg check from Sweeney Schriner Bauer was hurt in a collision with teammate Milt Schmidt in a rusi, a minute later
 Gambling with periodic four-mar rushes, the Bruins finally scored thelr first goal quarter way through the second period and cl!nched the win with q pair of tal- lies with less than two minutes to play after CowIey ond Bauer left She game. All Boston goals were registered with boston teams play ing man short.
 Flash" Scores
 Rookie Winger Terry Reardon pace dthe Boston attack with a goal and an assist. but 1t was Bill (Flash) Eoleltt,t former Toronto defenseman, who counted the im- portant first tally Hollett snagged a bullet pass from Reardon and pow cred a 25-foot center alley drive past Goalie Walter Broda at l5:33 Of the mid-session.
 Reardon again worked inside the Toronto defense in third period and snagged a pass from Art Jackson to count from closeup with bullet corner drive at l8:11. The tirine Leafs were fooled again when De- fenseman Dit Clapper grabbed the disc inside the blueline and slapped it to Eddie Wiseman who scored on a backhander at 1924.
 Without Ace Center Syl Apps, the Leafs had few real chances in their 27 shots on Goalie Frank Brimsek In contrast, Broda had AT saves many of the sensational variety.

DOlan Decisions FurrOne
 In Tame Eight ROunder
Substitute Murray Young Shades Kovach; Katz Draws
 After Nine KnOckdOWnS

later than last Monday night. Dolan weighed l46, Furrone, IA.
 Rex Johnson of Pittsfield set some kind of a record when he sur- vived eight or nine knockdowns in the first round to come back and earn a draw with Maxie Katz, local Jewish middleweight, who let John son "wriggle off the hook" and finish with good last round, as ne did the first time the pair met. The draw decision was most popular with the customers. l'/ 4
 Sub Makes Hit E.,
 Murray Young, 0 l75 pourlder from Dumore, G., came to town as Q chaufYcr for other boxers and their managers but found himself in the ring as substitute for Mickey Sarko of Bridgeport against Dula Kovach of Naugatuck. Obvi- ously out of condition, because he had not expected to fight, Young was good enough to win the decision over Kovach in Q slam-bang punch- ing six rounder, that thrilled the patrons, though both boys remained upright despite wallops that seemed heavy enough to bring more than one knockdown. As a reward for his fine showing in fine fight, Young may be paired with Art McAlpine the slugging Springfield negro as a semi- final to the Dolan-Ha bout if that goes in next as the main bout. In shape, Young should give McAlpine whale of fight, though the negro is a knockout puncher in any round, and is never out o condition.
 All Even
 Neil Miller of Wilkes-Barre de. feated himself by too much clutch. ing against the heavier Frankie Young of New Haven, whom he should defeat with ease, the bout winding up all even after six rounds that followed the Dolan- -Furrone af- fair. Miller scaled IA 1-2, Young, 147 1-2 and then some.
 Rocky Devens, lightweight spar mate of Eddie Dolan and his num- Der one cheering section, made ms pro debut @ good one with 8 win over New Haven Joey Wasnick, Devens scaled 137 1-2; Wasnick, l3S.

Conferees Hope to
be Agreed by
Evening
BY AssaeiatAd PressN

Washington. Sept. 1f-AP-The
No. 1 question before a joint Sen
ate. House Conference Committee
today was whether to require In
come tax returns next year from
almost 100000 persons now ex
empt from filing.
Hopeful Of an agreement by
nightfall on a compromise version
Of the huge new defense tax bill
the conferees tackled the Job OF
resolving the differences between
Senate and House versions of the
legislation on the subject of per
sonal exemptions.
The House left the exemptions
unehanged-s20o0 for married
couples and $500 for single per
sons. The Senate version, how
ever, cut the married exemption
to $1,000 and the single 10 S750-a
change which the Treasury said
would require an estimated 4.91l..
600 additional persons to file re.
turns by next March Is. The yield
from this change was set at 303.-
100000 annually-most Of the in,
crease to be paid by persons al
ready subject to the tax.
There was some sentiment
among House members Of the con.
ference group TO make the married
exemption $1,S75-a reduction in
the same ratio as that provided for
single individuals.
Senate conferees, however. said
they were reluctant to accept such
a suggestion, and Chairman George
tD-GaD Of the Senate group esti.
mated II would eliminate about
5000 100000 of revenue.
Besides the difference over low
cred exemptions. the conference
group faced a major fight over
Senate changes in the corporation
taxes. After eliminating a special
10 per cent levy which the House
voted TO impose on those Cumpau-
les not earning sufficient money
10 fall under the excess profits
taxes. the Senate approved an in.
crease in corporation surtaxes
from 5 TO 6 per cent on net income
up to $4,000 and from to : per
cent on income over that amount.
The Senate Finance Committee
said the net result was a s52,S0o,-
600 gain in revenue.
Il don't know what the House
people are going TO do" remarke !
Senator Davis (R-Pal. one Of the
conferees, but | think we will in.
sist on the Senate Corporation
taxes"
The conference committee met
throughout yesterday, and mem.
bers reported It had agreed upon
a number Of minor items. Sena.
tors Barley (DKyD and Walsh

that the main work still lay ahead
for today.
