To Make Baseball Price

BY tire Associated Press.

By tire Associated Press.
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, April l.
President Joe Engel Of the Chat
tanooga Lookouts today recon-
mended that soldiers be admitted to
Southern Association baseball games
for IS cents.
Engel's proposal would permit
troops to occupy grandstand seats
where association rules call for a
charge of rs cents. Bleacher seats
cost so cents under the price scale.
ITS good thing for baseball to
do this" said Engel. Those fell
lows quit good jobs for military
training at s2l month. They can't
be expected to continue as baseball
fans at so and rs cents admission
prices and they ought not to have
to pay the price"
The Lookout leader placed his
proposal before President Trammell
Scott of the association and was told
nothing could be done until meet
ing Of the directors.
Explaining that the Texas and
Southeastern Leagues were adopting
a similar policy, Engel expressed con-
fidence that the Southern Associa-
ton directors would approve his
plan

Doubt Over Decisions,
But Turner'S S Fights
Rated Best Of Year
Slim Crowd Sees Cocoa Kid
Shade Andre Jessurun
By Unpopular Verdict

You get peculiarly different per-
spective on the fights from circus
seat at Turner's Arena. we discov-
cred last night. Evidently your eyes
get bleary and do a weird Job of
calisthenics as you watch the per-
spring gladiators a scant 40 yards
away.
For instance, We thought Andre
Jessurun earned at least a draw
with Cocoa Kid in the 10-round fea-
ture, but when all precincts had re-
ported and all ballots were counted
Cocoa had won himself unanimous
decision. 1t didn't look right to some
other customers, either, and they
bayed their disapproval in gutteral
tones impossible to initiate with
mere words.
They thought Jessurun did even
better, that he had won. Sym
pathy for his cause may have given
him the edge in their eyes, but, as
we noted above, your eyes can be
guilty of blinking at a mirage from
that far-reaching distance.
One thing everybody agreed on is
that the show was the best staged
at the Arena this winter. Curiously
enough, it attracted only 1858 GUS
toners, including the paper in the
house, and a gate of only $1,052.
Every fight, from the opening f.
rounder in which young Ken Strib-
ling 1521a) a colored novice, gave
Billy Kekeris Q491a) a fierce battle
before being chilled in 1:43 of the
final chapter. down to the last round
of the feature, was good. The Cocoa
Jessurun affair was close but
Jessurun forced the fighting all the
way and seemed to get in as many
good hcks as his rival. Cocoa
scaled 1471a and his opponent 1881
Another unpopular decision went
TO FL Brookman (150) In his Ground
joust with Caesar Ferro Q52) Of
New York. But Jabo Kenner, 212-
pound heavyweight, left no doubt
about the best man in his fight with
Larry Bochard (200) by fattening
that worthy in 1:30 of the second
round.
Carol Kid Alexander 0241a) con-
tinued his winning streak by out
pointing Larry Cirici. game little
124-pounder, who bounced up from
three knockdowns to 60 the around
distance.
The arena will be dark next week
as the istic scene shifts to Uline
Arena and possibly the week after
in difference to the. opening base
ball game, but operations will be
resumed Immediately thereafter.

The hunter enthusiast has a treat
in store at the fifth annual running
of the Potomac Hunts point-to-
point races to be held next Saturday

road way in Maryland. Confirmed
horse show fans and many others
will journey out the East-West high
way to the grounds opposite the
Meadowbrook Saddle Club, where
next Saturday and Sunday. the

event will be held.
Always one of the spring seasons

2 pm. with a landowners race
of miles over natural country,
without jumps. Ladies and gentle
men, riding at catch weights, must
be mounted on horses that have
never been placed first or second
in any race, and they must be the
property of a landowner or tenant
farmer residing in the Potomac Hunt
territory. A trophy and ribbon 60

Ring Board Gets Out,
La Fond Will Referee
GaIento.Baer Bout
CopitoI Official Named
As Tony's Squowk Makes
Donovan Withdraw

Call off the hounds, Herman, the
District Boxing Commission isn't
going to let Arthur Donovan work
the ny-Galento-Buddy Baer bout
after all. They've decided portly
Eddie La Fond. whose good name is
beclouded by the fact that he lives
and works here, should take his
regular turn in the ring and 'eaven
'elp i'm when he gets In there with
those two murderers.
A wire from the great Donovan
helped the commission arrive at its
momentous decision in double-quick
time. 1t seems that Galento OBJ
jected to his presence in the ring
especially during fight-and DON
ovan figured If Tony felt that way
about it he could take his old Baer
and beat him up anywhere he cared
to without the Official presence of
any member of the Donovan family
to witness the historic event. That
suited Tony to a well-crossed T.
Anybody but Arthur would do, he
said.
Dig flgnterS Harmless.
The only item not clarified is how
Donovan happened to be named for
the job in the first place. All three
members of the commission, Claude
w. Owens, Thomas L. Morgan, jr.,
and Maj. Ernest w. Brown, deny
suggesting that an out-of-town
party be selected to handle the
titanic struggle. 1t seems they were
having meeting and in some mys-
terious manner Donovan was NOM
mated, seconded and elected before
the commission knew what had
happened.
The commission denied it will
have crack sharpshooters armed
with elephant guns stationed at
strategic points around the ringside
to bring down either gladiator
should he attack La Fond. Nor will
Eddie be permitted to tote, lug or
carry any firearms, blackjacks or
weapons of any sort on his body and
person for his own protection. That
will be quite unnecessary.
The commission learned yesterday
that heavyweights are not permit
ted to tear the referee to pieces and
throw an arm or leg to relatives
parked around the ringside. Nor do
they rip the shirt from his back.
That's part Of the wrestling gag
they have discovered.
Donovan Rated Sideshow.
Donovan was mentioned, it de-
velops. only because he would be
an added attraction for the GUS
toners. A rumor got around that
he had three eyes. was 8 feet "A
inches tall. weighed 469 pounds and
substituted shoe leather for spear
mint. Before every fight he takes
the two principals and hoists one in
each hand overhead to sort of timber
up for the business ahead. If they
don't give the fans good fight he
cracks their heads together like a
couple of walnuts.
The commission heard he has a
pretty good punch, too. He un-
doubtedly can knock out Joe Louis
every day in the week and twice on
Sunday, but Mike Jacobs won't let
him because he might ruin his
brightest box office attraction. He
also yodels between rounds, but re-
ports that he can whistle through
his front teeth are absolutely gross
fabrications of a highly imaginative
mind. L. r. A.
