.GOTHAMITES WIN
 GOLDEN CLOVES
Jim CarOllO, Heavyweight Outstanding Among B
 Amateur Boxers

New York, March 31.-(UP)-New York held the National Golden Glove team championship today for the first time since 1885 thanks to the pugilistic ability of Chunky Jimmy Carollo, a hammering young factory foreman who blasted his way to the heavyweight title,
 Eighteen-year-old Carollo won a three-round decision over rugged Hubert Hood, a powerful negro from Chicago's South Side, before 16,571 fans at Madison Square Garden last night, giving the New York Daily News team it's triumph.
 Twice since it last held the championship the New York team has tied for the crown and it was leading, 8-7, when the final bout came up last night. A victory for Hood, 20-year-old laborer, would have given the Chicago Tribune team another deadlock.
 Other champions crowned in the inter-city finals were:
 112 pounds; R p h McNeill, Newark, N. J.
 112 pounds: Jack Graves, Bis marck, N. D.
 126 pounds: Tommy R o t o l O, Rome, N. Y.
 135 pounds: Morris Corona, Port Arthur, Tex.
 147 pounds: Bobby Burns, Fort Wayne, Ind.
 16O pounds: Joe Carter, Utica, N. Y.
 175 pounds: Clent Conway, New York.
 Carollo scored his triumph in the outstanding bout of the evening, which saw 32 fighters from all sec- tionS of. the nation meet in alter nate and open class bouts. They were the survivors of elimination tournaments held throughout the country with the proceeds going to the united Service organizations. All of the fights were three-round- CTS.

involved in making them. The supply is shrinking fast and after this summer the demand for these items may be completely unfulflled. STRIPED GABARDINE
 BEING INTRODUCED
 Various shades of brown will be predominant in this springs suits. Light browns-Sand, natural" and similar shades-were extremely pop- ular last year and it is expected that this popularity will continue in 1942.
 Two-button models will be pop ular. Deeply notched lapels will be shown. The coat opening in double breasted coats is slightly lower than last year, giving the im- pression of a longer coat and low CT waistline. The little change pocket, which began appearing on suits within the last few years, is disappearing.
 One novelty-it will be rare-is a striped gabardine. Apparently some British mills have experi- mented with an all-wool fabric in this field and & few retailers are testing reaction this year in the ex- pectation that if 1t catches on, they will have something to promote when the war is over and good fab- rics become more abundant again.
 Incidentally, there appears to be a fair amount of British fabric still in the market; even some of the chain retailers will be showing good quality British worStedS and woolens within the next few months.
 Gray flannel SuitingS, tending toward the darker shades, look like good bet this spring. Gray flan- nel is also being sold extensively in slacks for both men and women.
 Anticipating federal regulation, mems shirtmakers are tending to- ward standardization by limiting the number of styles being shown for spring and summer, 1942.

Robinson Runners, At Narraga ansett For Busy Campaign
Wool, Wool and No Com petition to Run in April
 Stake Events

Pawtucket, E. |, March 31-One of the most prominent stables of West Coast racing has arrived at Narragansett Park from Santa Anita and will be ready when the bugle notes signal the opening of the New England racing season or April II. Eight horses belonging to B. B. Robinson, prominent Califor- mia defense industrialist, comprised the shipment that came in charge of the brilliant young trainer, Hurst Philpot.
 The Robinson stable includes two of the outstanding stake campaign CTS that have raced at Far Vest ern tracks in No Competition and Woof Woof. No Competition was the star of the Bay Meadows meet ing last spring. There he won the $10,000 added Bay Meadows Handi- cap, most important race of the Northern California season, the San Francisco Handicap and fin- ished second to Hysterical in the Bay Meadows Fashion Stakes. At Hollywood Park he finished third to Joy Boy and Exemplify in the $10,o00 Argonaut Handicap and won the Champlain Handicap in which he beat Ship Biscuit and Big Pebble, the latter the outstanding older handicap horse of 1941.
 Remember?
 Woof Woof, remembered for his triumphs at Eastern courses a couple of years ago, when he won the $25,OoO Flamingo Stakes in Florida, finished second in two im- portant handicaps at Hollywood Park last summer. Sir Jeffrey set a mile and a sixteenth track rec ord to beat him in the $l0,000 IngleWood and Midland had to run hard to down him in the $20,000 added American. In the laater race he took the place over Big Pebble.
 No Competition and Woof Wool will be named for the $5,000 added Roger Williams and the $l0,000 add ed Rhode Island Handicap, distance features of the spring meeting. Philpot has a formidable candidate for Gansett's three sprint stakes, including the $5,OOO Spring Handi- cap, inaugural day feature, in Hols- worthy. Trustworthy races under the silks of Mrs. Spencer Tracy, wife of the motion picture Academy Award winner.
 The Robinson trainer, former rider, is the brother of Fraceton Philpot. conditioner of the extensive Louis B. Mayer stable. A division of Mayors horses is also expected at Narragansett.
 The NarraganSett barns are be- ginning to fill up fast. Among the most recent arrivals were Arthur Cfaignard, New England regular" with Is horses, and Phil Mecklen- burg, who trains a public stable of a dozen thoroughbreds.

hardly conductive to sound sleep, Baker has only four returning regu- lars and at least two of these can't be considered on the upbeat for 1942.
 The four include Rudy York and Pinky Higgins at first and third bases, Barney McCosky in the out field and George Tebbetts behind the plate. A major trade with Wash ington provided Second Baseman Jim Bloodworth and Outfelder Roger Cramer, capable enough operatives but no DiMaggios at the plate. The other two posts must be plugged by rockies.
 Fair Hitter
 Strsngley enough, it is a new conner who evokes one of the few gleams noted in the Baker eye. He is Billy Hitchcock who is destined for short-stop. Hitch came up from Kansas City where he alternated at short and third. He is a polished fielder although his 296 batting average could be upped with ad- vantage to the Tigers.
 Don Ross, California boy ac- quired from Montreal along with .310 average. is the leading aspirant for the outfield vacancy although Rip Radcliff, who came to Detroit last year from St. Louis, is battling for the starting position. There is no depth to the outfield. An injury at any spot would force Baker into using a comparatively untested player.
 As for the pitching, Benton was the only regular winner last year he collected 15 trumphs against six defeats, thanks to his 2.96 earned run figure rather than to the sup port he received. Paul trout split even at nine and nine and School boy Rowe won eight and lost six The others all lost more than they won. Three newcomers from Buffa- To, Virgil Trucks, Harold White and Chuck Fuchs, are rated as possibli- ties.
 With perhaps one or two slight additions, you have the Tigers of 1942. The power has seeped away, the pitching bulwark of the 194O club Newsom-is gone, and there is certain to be dissatisfaction in the ranks since Zeller began clipping the payroll. It will be a tough war

United Press Staff Correspondent
 New York, March 31-CUP)-The conversion of Detroit from an auto- mobile capital into an arms center is proceeding at an eventful clip, but at least one of the motor city's major corporations is strangely out of step. It is neither re-tooling nor expanding. Instead of preparing for a healthy boom, it is battening hatches against depression.
 The corporation referred to is the Detroit Tiger Baseball Club, a team which will join the 1942 American league race for the sole purpose of reaffirming the law of gravity Two years ago the Tigers were up. Last year they started down. Today they still are descending and unless parachutes are provided they may drop out of sight.
 Detroitis factories are so busy that old machinery is being carted to vacant lots and abandoned for the duration to make way for new projects. Well, Owner Walter Briggs has given the Tigers the same treat ment. He is busy with war orders so he just handed the club over to General Manager Jack zeller - lock, stock, barrel and problem child Bobo Newsom.
 Single Raise
 Zeller went to work with his hatchet immediately. The club tumbled from first to tie for fourth in the space of a year, and zeller has amputated salaries accordingly. Newsom was slashed from 32,000 to $12,500, Rudy York from $18,000 to 5000 and a possible bonus, and the others dropped in the same pro- portion. Only Al Benton got raise.
 L'Affaire Newsom is now settled by his sale to Washington but Bobo went to camp unsigned, asked $20,- 900 and was fiatly refused. zefler asked waivers but apparently few owners were interested in pitcher who wanted $2O,OO0 after winning only 12 games last year. Washing ton finally picked him up last night.
 The rest of the team is assembled and Manager Del Baker is engrossed with a rebuilding program that would give pause to the engineers who constructed Boulder Dam. Aside aA--a hAs uitchinG sta6. which is

Senators May Sell
 Newsom to Browns

Lakeland, Fla, March 31-(UP) Back with the Washington Sena- tors for the first time since 1887, Pitcher Buck Newsom today was the central figure in a reported deal bringing Third Baseman Harland Gift from the St. Louis Browns to the Senators.
 Newsom, a determined holdout after the Tigers had attempted to slash his salary $2O,o0O from last years wage of $3250O, was sold by Detroit to Washington last night for slightly more than the waiver price of $7,5oO. Washington may trade him in turn, to the Browns for their hard-hitting infielder
