AMATEUR RING CHAMPIONSHIPS
 WELL SPLIT UP
MuIIigan Loses His Title Chance 10 Idaho Boy;
 Jackman Best Heavy

Boston, April IS--(UP)--A tired and somewhat battered group of 32 youngsters rested today preliminary to the seni-fpaI and final bouts of the national amateur boxing charn- pionships Friday night as experts predicted that no state, except pose sibly New York, would win more than one individual title.
 The g youths, who successfully passed trial and quarter-flnaI matches at Boston Garden, Tepre-l sented IA states. Ohio maintained its top place by qualifying seven of 13 men in last nights quarter finals before q sca1lt crowd of 22e2.
 Only bantamweight Chuck Hunt CT of the Ohio delegation was rated as a division favorite. Oddly enough, Missouri, second to date with five tyros still throwing punches, was not conceded a chance of gaining a single crown.
 StandOuts
 Of four New York lads remaining in the three day tournament, two can win titles If they maintain early form. They are Robert Me- Quillan, flash lightweight from Lackawanna, who hurls punches with rapier- precision and Private James Mario of Fort Mitchell, a rugged featherweight. Mario may get plenty of opposition, however, from Sam Derrico of Cleveland, q semirf1nalist last year.
 Corporal Bill Jackman of Camp Polk, La, 8 paunchy blond with the flllesse of a bull in a china shop, looms as the man to beat in the heavyweight class.
 Urslil 9napp of Pocatello, Idaho, who dethroned rniddleweight cham pion Jimmy Mulligan of Lowell, Mass, the Journeys lone defender, last night is classed as middleweight favorite.
 Claude Ellison of Des Moines, 1a., shapes up as the 1o42 ruler of the light-neavyweights after his knock out triumph over Corp. Willie Hayes of Camp Funston, Kans.
 Other likely winners are fiyweight Ralph McNeil of Newark, N. J., na- ttonal Golden Gloves titlist, and welterweight Willard Buckless, Q SaugliS, Mass, war worker.

Connie Says Watch Red And White Sox"

Boston, April i5--(UP) Connie Mack believes the Boston Red Sox are the only club capable of stop ping the New York Yankees this year.
 The 70 year old Mack, who began his 5Sth year ir1 organized baseball yesterday by watching his Athletics drop an 8-S decision to Boston, said the Red Sox Hook good" and "have the best chance" to break the Yankees monopoly.
 '"The Chicago White Sox may also fool the experts this year." Mack said in praislng Jimmy Dykes marl- agerial ability. "The Athletics won't win the pennant but we'll give them some good ball gamess" he pre- dicted.
 On the National league side of the fence, Connie said, T know very little about them," but Babe Ruth's choice of the Pittsburgh Pirates for the pennant may not be too far wrong. '"They came east with us and they're e fast, hustling ball club. If their pitching comes through, they'll certainly be @ threat"
 Full of Pep
 Though he will be 30 next De- cember, Mack remains healthy and boyisl1ly enthusiastic about the Athletics, the club he has led to nine American league perinants and five world championships since the turn of the century.
 After yesterdays opening day cermonies, Connie retired to the dug -out with his scorecard which he players, most of whom were not even tradltionally uses to wig-wag his born when his hair began to whiten.

Tn Boston, Fireman Ted Williams started 0 couple of conf1agrations of his own when he srnacked Q home run with two mates aboard in the first inning then returned to the plate and drove in a couple of more tallies just for luck. Our Theodore may be 6 S-A in the army, but there is no indication that he will be anything but Ali In Boston's heart.
 The first major league manager to be bounced from the park was black Jimmy wilson, who was busted In the fourth inning of Chi. cago's game with, st. Louis. TO most observers, the action was apt. How can wilson possibly live with q team like the Cubs without being instilled with an overwhelming de- sire to get away from it all.
 One of tho days notable events was the rouSing victory which the Cleveland Indians hanged out for their boy manager, Lou 4oudreati. This support comes as Q major sure prise perhaps the biggest produced by the inaugural. Without the services of Bob Teller, te was be- lleved the Indians couldn't give Boudreau anything but love, baby.

The saddeSt figure of the day was Mel Ott. Before the game was an inning old, the new Giant manager had made SO many trips from his right field post to confer with his pitcher that he wore Q path in the grass. If he maintains his current average--12 round trips in one game-it is to be hoped that e pri- ority board will relax and sell him Q bicycle.

 United Press Stan COrrespondent) New York, April 15-(UP)-The baseball season is offlcially open and for the first time fully realize the effect the game exerts on public morale, No matter how bad the news on the front page, a man may now turn to the major league standings and reassure himself that the American way still Is safe-both Philadelphias are right back in the cellar.
 There were 42,653 of the faithful on hand at the Polo Grounds to watch the Giants renew hostilities with the Dodgers and 42,e5S of them swear they blundered into the circus by mistake, With Medwick tuInbling, Vaughan juggling and l1 Giants walking the tight rope, the only party not present was Gargantua.
 Three days ago Bobo Newsom be- came outraged when the Washing ton manager, Buckly Harris, passed him by and selected young Sid Hud- son to pitch the inaugural against the New York Yankees. The folks who watched the Tanks lot the Mats down with no runs and three hits are now agreed that if anyone has the right to be outraged 1t is Hud- son.
 The opening contests were replete with errors. Jimmy Browns pebble helped the Cubs to whip the Cards, Eddie Joost's nun helped the Pie rates trim the Reds and vaughan's wild throw didn't help the Dodgers. But the most errors were committed at Chicago. Some 0,007 fans paid to watch the White sox engage the St. Louis Browns.
 
 Signs Galore
 Tn many parks the fans found uShers equipped as cir raid wardens, walls plastered with warnings to re- main calm and scorecards contain ing information as to what should be done in an emergency. As one little iady unused while gazing at SchnoRzle Lombardi, the only sign they forgot to post was that old favorite-"Kindly do not feed the animals"

 While their light bombers sweep across the Chan mel in relentless daylight raids and their heavy craft take great loads of explosive to German industrial cities in the hours of darkness the British also wagng of nerves quite akin to what the Nazs were doing two years ago. Just this consists of creating eyer more uncertainty in the German mind of what to expect. Stabs by Commando forces in France Holland and Norway raise fears Of invasion. And verbal warfare adds to the tension.
 A few days ago Sir Stafford Cripps told the Pol- ish people in a broadcast that they should stand firm the hour to strike is near" Meantime Labor Minister Ernest Bevn was warning his own people against demanding great offensive prenaturely for that might bring defeat instead of victory But a Liberal M.

 These are not secrets. They reach Germany directly or through Sweden and Switzerland-as may be intended. The impact Germans is bound to be unnerving at a time when cities deep in Germany are being bombed scale fully equal to the attacks on London and Coventry Southampton and Bristol in 1940
 Germany is known to have diverted large num- bers of troops to Norway and others to the Baltic shore close embarkation ports for Scandinavia The people of Brittany have been warned by their Nazi rulers to be ready for state of siege, which only reflect a fear of invasion Inevitably the striking power of the Nazi Reich in Russia in the Eastern Mediterranean is somewhat weakened by the fear of having defend the western shore of Europe Brit aims war of against the NaH may not be de- cisive, but it certainly helps.

As a result of Col Smiths know ledge, the U. s. Army had an eX- cellent insight into German military preparations.
 While in Germany, Col, Smith became q close friend of Lindbergh, and later when Lindbergh used to visit Washington, he s 0 m m s stayed at Smiths home.
 This came to the attention of Su- preme Court Justice Felix Frank iurter, who indignantly reported it to the White House, together with a strong suggestion that Col. Smith be courtmartialed.
 However, Chief of Staff Marshall and Assistant Secretary of War Johnson stepped in, warned that a courtmartial would have bad roper cusSions; so instead Col. Smith was retired.
 All this was year before Pearl Harbor But since the United States entered the war. Col. Smith has come back again. Officially, he is in Military Intelligence. But act ually-though Justice Frankfurter doesn't know it--he is giving his knowledge of Germany to the War Plans Division of the General Staff.
