PEP, COMPO IN NEW HAVEN NEXT WEEK

New Haven, March 10-Willie Pep of Hartford, undefeated in 36 starts as a pro, will face the toughest as- signment of his boxing career thus far when he takes on Johnny Compo, local featherweight, in the star bout of eight rounds on pro fight card at the Arena, Wednesday night, March 18th.
 Pep, who didn't lose fight as an amateur, will be meeting in Compo what is known in the fight game as 8 youthful veteran"
 It took some tall talking by Matchmaker George Sheppard to sign Pep. Hartford promaters wanted the match, and they almost had it. Pep is the greatest fighter to come out of the Capitol City since the days of Bat Battalino.
 Compo has been around. He has boxed some of the best feather weights and lightweights in the country, and his record is a good one.
 In another eight-rounder Snooks Lacey, New Haven, who has a win ovr Bobby Ivy, will box Joy Rush ner, hard-hitting Syracuse feather weight.

GILES INSISTS REDS WILL BE
 READY TO 30
Former Champs ''Pufied Up" and Out of Shape
 Early Last Season
By CRORGE KTRwsEY

United Press Stan CoErespOndent6
 Tampa, Fla, March 1O-(UP)- The atmosphere in the camp Of the Cincinnati Reds Is different from that of last spring. The cocky, seIf- complacent, i've are -chanps'' attitude is gone. In its place is an air of resolute determination and vengeance.
 Much of this is due to a portIy, red-faced fellow who ordinarily is the incest baseball official in the spring training camps. He Is War ren c. Giles, general manager Of the Reds, and for the first time on record he actually growls occasion- ally.
 The fellow he's maddest at is Warren c. Giles. He planes him. self for the Reds loss of the pen- nant last year.
 "Our ball players lost the pennant for us in the first six weeks of the season." Giles parked, 'ebut 1t was my fault. Yes, sir, Warren Giles in the fellow to blame. was here anc watched our players walk around with their chests way out to here. They were the world champs and nobody could tell them different. They failed to get into proper con- dition and before they knew 1t they were so far behind that they couldn't catch up.
 T saw 1t all going on but I grew overconfident too, guess. Maybe Bill McKechnie was 8 little to blame too, because he continued to handle the players in his fatherly, kindly way and didn't read the riot act to them. But I could have stopped the whole thing if had been on my toes. Yes, sir, the Reds got soft last year from the front ofice on down.
 But you can bet your life they won't leave Tampa soft this spring. They'll be in shape, ready and eager to play ball at the drop of the hat. If any of our fellows have any other ideas they are going to hear plenty from me. If I can't snap them out of it, they won't be with the Reds.''
 Somewhere along the line early last season Giles came to his senses and had general '.riot act'' meeting of all the Reds of1lcials and players. When the smoke had cleared away the Reds started to play ball but the boat was gone. From Decoration day the champion Dodgers played at g pace only one game faster than the Reds. And from the mid-SIm- mer Au-Star game to the finish of the season, the Dodgers and Reds played at exactly the same pace. But the Reds finished in third place. 12 games behind the Dodgers, be- cause they were soft and fat and were left at the barrier.
 Giles can't believe that Frauk Mccormick, Lonnie Frey, Paul per ringer and other Cincinnati stars have gone back as much as tneir records showed last season.
 Everybody on our ball club had his worst season last year." Giles said. "Most of the declines were due to one big reason in my opinion. lack of condition. The pIayers weren't ready when the season opened. They didn't get in shane until the season was, more than < month old. If anybody has a sll11np this season it won't be because 11e because he isn't in shape.e

Pasadena, Cal, March 10-(UP) The Harry Or abiner-Luke Ap- bling hold-out feud bubbled merrily today with the White Sox vice pres ident claiming that Luke's hitting in the pinches was weak last season.

 Meanwhile, Leo Wells, rookie from St. Paul, is handling the shortStop post and probably will start against the Chicago Cubs in the exhibition game at Los Angeles Friday.

Indian Headaches Not Confined To Trosky.
Teller Is Gone; Heath Beefing;
 Weatherly o. K.
By HARRY CRIMSON NEA Srvice Sports Editor

Clearwater, Fla, March 0-Cleve- lands baseball headaches are not confined to Hal Troslly, although in Leslie Fleming the Indians appear to have uncovered a suitable re- placement fOr-the Bohemian whose humping 1loggin took considerable thunp out of the Tribe last season.
 Les Fleming's arrival also may solve the problem at second base, where Ray Mack turned out to be a sucker for an inside curve.
 After one quick look at Texan Fleming, Oscar Grimes announced that he was a candidate for second base.
 This Is Roy Weatherlys turn to have 8 good year and Jef Heaths turn for a poor one. Weathefly is happy. Heath held out. It was just the other way round in 1940.
 A. line drive hit by Sammy Hale in practice knocked the sight of one of Handy Man Grimes'eyes out of focus in 1940. He seems all right again, has acquired weight.
 Although injured last season, Fleming managed to bat no less than .414 and to drive in 1O3 runs for Nashville. Nor did the Redskins first left-hand hitting and throw ing first sacker since Doc Johnston of happy memory slow down per- ceptibly upon joining them in September. N
 The other side of the infleld is in the capable hands of Lou Boudreau and Ken Neither.
 Bespectacled Russ Peters Is an extra hand, so if Fleming stands up the chances are there will be less trouble in the infield than else- where.
 MAY MAKE OLD MAN
 OF BOY MANAGER
 Pitching is what is most likely to make an old man out of Boy Manager Boudreau.
 Bob Teller is in the Navy. leav- ing the club without slinger who pitched 500 ball in the American league last term.
 The biggest hopes are the left handed Als-Smith and Milnar.
 Hard luck trailed Smitty like a faithful hound in 1941. He must be used sparingly. Milnar must do a comeback, and the sizable Sloyen- ian could help hmiseH along this

 ENTBREE EASTERN'S
 MOST VALUABLE
 Steve Gromek has the unmistak- able signs of conner, but the best of the new dealers is right handed Charley Embree, adjudged the most valuable athlete in the Eastern league as the result of chucking Wilkes Barre to the pennant by wiring 21 while dropping with an earned-run average of only 1.62. Red Embree's 211 strikeouts and eight shutoutS are new Eastern le gareueorcds an
 league records.
 Ray Poat is @ large and rousing right-hander who copped r while losing 6 and struck out POS, but it's more than skip and a jump from CedAr Rapids to Cuyahoga County. Earl Center is up from Wilkes Barre for sis third looksee. Dewey Adkins was disappointment with the same outfit.
 INDIANS CATCHING MATCHES PITCHING
 Cleveland's catching matches its pitching, which isn't exactly com- plimentary.
 Gene Desautels can catch, but can't hit. Otto Denning, up from Minneapolis, can hit, but is slow, has mechanical faults behind the dish and an arm that hardly is, ade- quate. Jim Hogan is too inex- perienced.
 Gee Walker and Jeff Heath are to flank Weatherly in the outfield, but even with Soup Campbell in the Navy there may be some op- position, and 1t isn't expected to come from Larry Rosenthal.
 OriS Hockett hit .359 in the Southern Association, Fabian Gaffke .3O5 in the American Association and Henry Edwards showed power with the Indians after batting 362 for Cedar Rapids.
 The Indians problem is no more perplexing than to find four pitch CTS capable of winning as many as Bob Teller.
