Buddy Bacr has had visions of defeating Louis since Oct 49,
1889 when he defeated Eddie Hogan Madison Square Garden
He then began camorng for crack at Louis and got It,
but defeated in Washington in May of this year.

But in your reporters estimation, they worked for it. The kick vas no good, thus the period ended 2 % 0. Tn the second period HaWden, led by number 90, made a tgemen- dous rally, making two touchdown3. Tn thls period Leavenworth tried 3 passss without connecting. During this period Ieavenwurth was oon1- pletely outclassed. During the half the HAmden end the IntersHigh School bands seranaded each other in glorious array, Apparently many fans enjoyed that. Credit must be given to Jaxnelie, a very game guy, and Q good player. In spite of his injury attained in last weeks prac- tice, he got in and played . swell game.
 Your reporter hopes that in the forthcoming Croshy-Wiiby game, he can see as good Q game, and as good support, as Hamden and LeRvenwoth showered upon their teams.

OvERLIN, OLD BUT ABLE, 8 TO 5
 AGAINST HOSTAK
Ex.Champs Meet Tonight at MISC; UnderdOg Has
 Brittle Hands
BY JACK CUDDY

United Press Stan Corrcspondens)
 New York, Nov. 2l.-(UP)-Al Hostak, seattle's blond bomber, will be unveiled at last in Madison Square Garden tonight, with ancient Ken overlin an important partici- pant in the ceremony.
 Hostak. who never fought east Os Cleveland, is slated. for 10 rounds with the ex-sailor of Washington, D. c. And the bout ls ultra-iTnpor- tant for both former Iniddieweight kings, since 1t officially launches their campaigns for the lght-heavy- weight crown.
 Overlin, though 3l, is favored at s-5 to ruin Hostak's eastern debut because of his cleverness and rug gedness. Also because his 25-year- old opponent has had a see-Saw career due to brittle hands. Hand injuries have contributed to at least three important defeats suffered by the Seattle Czech since he wrested the middleweight crown (National Boxing Association brand) from Freddie Steele on @ flrst-round knockout in July, 1888.
 What Might Have Been
 Had tonight's bout been staged IS months ago It would have drawn more than si50,O00 outdoors, bring ing together the Y. B. A. ruler and Overlin, who was recognized as champion in New York and afftli- ated states. But, because of reverses suffered by both since then, 1t will be lucky to gross $2S,00O.
 Oyerlin won the New York state diadem by licking Ceferino Garcia in May, lo40. He held it year, then lost 1t to Billy Soose on May g.
 Meanwhile, Hostak-after taking the ". B. 4. crown from Steele = lost 1t to veteran Solly Krieger of Brooklyn on a decision. and then re- captured it from Krieger on knockout. Hostak invaded Chicago in January. l940, and dropped non title decision to Tony zale. Six months later zale took the crown at Seattle by knocking Al out in the 18th round. Hostak tried to get 1t pack at Chicago last May 23, but zaie knocked him out in the second round after flooring him eight times.
 Explanation
 Manager Eddie Marino-an old- time featherweight = explains that Hostak's defeat by Krieger and his first two losses to Zale resulted di- rectly from hand fractures. How ever. he says AIS second-round kayo by Zale in May, was caused by weakness from pairing down to the 160-pound limit. after he had out gown the division.
 Marine says Hostak's hands are In perfect shap now, and that he will be at peak strength at ies bounds. Overltn. wiso also outgrew the midsleweight league, expects to scale about 16B.

 Delan Choice
 Dolan and Guerra are listed for eight rounds at I4e pounds, with Irish Eddie, in view of his record, as the favorite to win.

Ham in DmOcher Stirs Needless Headaches; Hires Help While Taking Hollywood Bows; Leo Might
 Wait Until He Is Hired Himself

This gets a rise out of Hector Racine, president of the Royals. He s perfectly satisfied with Clyde Sukeforth, who dashed his outfit into the litle world series.
 If Durocher is your manager, Racine long distances Lery Macr- Phaii runs his own subsidiaries, and Durocher's contract as manager of the Dodgers has not yet been rec riewed.
 Through Durocher is expected to be back, there may be some squab- ble in regard to his salary.
 MacPhail made Durocer manager only because he felt that by so do- ing he could get another good year or two out of remarkable short- stop on his last legs.
 It was stipulated that Lippy Leo was to remain in condition all last season, but he repeatedly admitted he was in no shape to relieve Pee Wee Reese. Leo played no more than 40 innings, though there were times when the Buns were badly in need of him.
 It is reasonable to assume Mac Phail does not believe bench-man- ager Durocher is worth as much as he was as a playing pilot.
 Right or wrong, Durocher is wav- ing a red flag in Commissioner Landis refused Actor Raft permis- sion to occupy a seat in Durocher's box during the world series.
 When Screen William Raft tele- phoned his objections to Czar Landis, the old boy simply parked, 'Sue mel" and hung up.
 Judge Landis objects to movie people and other publicity seekers breaking into print at the expense of baseball.
 And maybe he's right. He usually is.
 Jack Kelly, chairman of the phy- sical education bureau of the Civ- Han Defense Program, hopes even- tually to have a golf instructor in every school in the lard.
 A splendid idea, and a tip for the baseball people.
 Practically all high school athletic department heads are football minded to the neglect Of other sports.
 Ycu can't blame them.
 Football pays the way.
 Unless they field wirn.ng football teams, athletic directors get no- where in no time at all.
