COCOA ANNEXES NOD BUT FAILS
 TO PLEASE FANS
DOlan Stops Dell By T. K. O.; KOvach Tops GilIO;
 Pep Here Next Week

The best part of the Waterbury A. C.'s initial 1942 outdoor fight card last night at Randolph Cloves Stadium where close to 2,000 faith full customers expected to see fire works galore, but didn't, was An nouncer Jack Freney who informed the crowd that Willie Pep, sensa- tional and undefeated Hartford featherweight, would highlight next Fridays card boxing tough Mexican Joey Silva who has held Bob Poison Ivy to draw and outpointed Beau Jack.
 Milo Theodorescu, alleged Rou- manian champion, and Louis Kid Cocoa of New Haven, went eight rounds, six of which were so un- interesting Referee Georgie Proto had to go to each lads corner at the one-minute rest periods to plead with both to start fighting or have their purses held up. Neither be- came a reality, though, and the Negro was given the decision. How Cocoa stopped Eddie Dolan in New Haven six months ago is hard to believe after seeing the Negro waltz through eight slow rounds with Milo.
 The Rumanian, whose only at- tack was infighting, seemed quite content to be an actor for six rounds, but did open up and fight the last two rounds. His awkward style undoubtedly handicapped the Negro who tried in vain to live up to his recent selection as the sixth ranking welter in the country. Pro- to's decision was justifiably correct though none of the fans seemed to care who got it.
 Dolan Too Classy
 Irish Eddie Dolan, Waterbury's own, jabbed and battered Rego Dell of Scranton, Pa. for four rounds, the ref stopping the fight in the fourth when 8 cut over the miners right eye bled freely. Dell was quite content to have the fight stopped though as he back pedalled so much in the first three rounds he was nearly exhausted. However, he did his darndest to make fight of 1t, but the local southpaw was too much his master.
 Dolan won each of the first three rounds by superior infighting and counter punching and though he could not knockdown the Scranton ite he kept piling up points. Eddie spotted his victim four pounds. but his relentless jabbing opened Dell's eye in the third and when 1t started to bleed profusely in the fourth referee Proto called it off.
 Kovach Beats GillO
 Dula Kovach, 175, of Naugatuck, outpointed rough Tony Gillo, 178, of New Haven in six-rounder. The Elm City lad tired 50 in the last three rounds he was continually holding on despite protests from both Kovach and Proto. No knock downs were registered.
 Tom Collins, 146, local Negro, was as cool as the drink his name im- plies and just as powerful as far as Phil Enzenga, 147, of New York, was cocnerned. Phil was stopped early in the fourth round. In the opening four rounder Sailor Boring, 1855, of the Noroton Naval Base, boxed good draw with Bobby Will Hams, 136, of New York.

OTIS PHILOSOPHY

company, and when Messrs. Stone ham, Bondy and Brannick made him player in December, he set about getting that company
 Little Mel got big Johnny Mize from the Cardinals, gambling on Johnny's sore shoulder. Today Mize is leading the league in home runs and runs batted in. If Branch Rickey of the Cards had kept Mize, St. Louis probably would be battl- ing claw-and-fang with Brooklyn for the league lead.
 Then Ott sent for Hank Leiber, and the big fellow delivered at first, but couldn't regain his stride after leg injury. Ott insisted that Catcher Harry Danning remain with the club because of his big bludgeon, although the front office wanted to sell Harry the Horse down the river because of training breaches in 1941.
 Ott coralled Bill Werber, and risk ed good money on Willard Marshall, hard-hitting rookie from Atlanta Babe Barna, the big Hungarian slugger from Minneapolis, had been ordered before Otis regime, but to keep the right-hand hitting up to snuff, off recalled Buster Maynard from Jersey City, the Giants farm where Buster had started at 300 clip.
 Ott made his most dramatic move for hitting power recently when he made Babe Young his centerfielder. Young'S home run in the 11th in- ming yesterday licked the Cincinnati Reds in the struggle for third place. It was his second game winning homer in two days. Young, the lanky first baseman who knocked in 100 runs in each of the two previous seasons and blasted 19 home runs in 1940 and 25 in Al had been nudged off f1rst-base by Mize. So Ott shifted Young and his big bat to centerf1eld, gambling the power of Babes batting punch against his defensively weak throwing arm.
 Since that shift the Giants have won seven of eight games.
 Ott, perhaps the most popular player in Polo Grounds history, has popularized his club amazingly with the fans by satisfying their hunger for aggressive baseball. Attendance is booming at home and picking up robustly on the road.
 Meanwhile, the Brooklyn Dodgers, though leading the league, have lost some of their popularity at home and on the rails because of the belligerent egotism of President Larry MacPhail and Manager Leo Durocher, who picked up where Bill Terry left off in feuding with news papernen. That's left-feld stuff, and Ott doesn't go in for it. He's strictly right fielder, with flair for pleasing the fan.
 And his philosophy is paying of.

Attack on Byrnes

Anti-InfIution Law
Is Disreeorded
BY the Associated Press.

Voicing bitter resentment at
administration farm price poll
cies, the Senate Agriculture Com
mittee voted today to summon
Economic Director James F.
Byrnes, Price Administrator
Leon Henderson and Secretary of
Agriculture Wickard to explain
the program to it Monday.
There has been an absolute dis
regard of the law passed by Con-
gress," said Senator Reed. Repub-
lican, of Kansas. lin orders issued
SO far under purported authority of
the Anti-Inflation Act"
Senator Brewster, Republican, of
Maine, protested that the price of
Maine potatoes had been frozen at
IS per cent of parity and that pro-
ducers were being forced to sell be-
cause of lack of storage facilities.
Senator Reed said he had dis
cussed the situation with Admins
traitor Bvrnes, and "notwithstand-
ing the fact that he has been a
Senator and Supreme Court JUS
tice, he has paid no more attention
to the plain direction of the law
than has Leon Henderson,"
Mr.. Byrnes, Senator Reed said,
contended that the orders COM
planned of were proper under the
discretionary authority granted un-
der the act but Senator Reed argued
that the discretionary authority was
clearly limited.

Senator Hill of Alabama, the
Democratic whip, opposed any
amendment to the 'teen-age
draft bill with a declaration in
the Senate today that Congress
"has got to have faith" in the
Nations military leaders to con-
duct the war as they see fit.
Senator Hill took the floor in an
attempt to turn what appeared to
be a growing tide of approval for
an amendment by Senator ODaniel.
Democrat, of Texas requiring a
years military training before Sc
iectees 18 and 10 years old could
be sent into combat service outside
the continental United States.
Administration strategists ad-
mitted privately they probably
lacked the votes to prevent adop-
ton of the ODaniel proposal or
some other similar amendment
unless a last-minute compromise
could be effected.
Faith in Gen. Marshall Urged.
Senator Hill told his colleagues
that to place restrictions on the use
of selectees inducted under the leg
lslatlon, which would lower the
minimum draft age from 20 to 18,
might be courting disaster.
This is a case where we have got
TO have faith in George Marshall
tGen. George c. Marshall. Army
Chief of StafD," the Alabama Sena-
tor declared.
Senator Hill alluded to letters
from President Roosevelt and Gen.
Marshall opposing any restrictive
amendment to the pending legisla-
ton, adding that Gen. Marshall had
never said that each individual se-
lectee needed a years training be-
fore he went to the battle zone.
When Senator Norris. Independ-
ent, of Nebraska argued that Gen.
Marshall had stated that inductees
needed years training, Senator
Hill replied that Gen. Marshall had
been misunderstood.
1t was Gen. Marshall's position.
Senator Hill contended, that any
newly formed division most be
trained as unit for a year before
1t could go into combat. but in
dividuals might be fitted into vet
eran units with much less prepara-
ton.
Peak Efficiency Is Aim.
Senator Connally, Democrat, of
Texas interrupted to remark that
there seemed to be no intima ton
that Gen. Marshall wanted any
thing less than the highest sort of
efficiency in the Army.
Senator Tyulngs, Democrat, of
Maryland remarked that in the last
war many requirements with only
six months training went into COM
bat divisions, adding that as an
officer in that war he never had
heard complaint about the ef-
fectiveness of these men.
Senator Tydings suggested that
proponents revise the ODaniel
amendment to require only six
months training, but Senator Hill
said that would not be accepta BILE
in some cases. He cited the in
stance of civilian mechanics who
could be trained for work with
Air Force ground crews, he said, in
about three months.
