NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-UP0-
Punchin' the bag:
We understand there is a more
lenient attitude in Washington now
toward service boxers engaging in
outside bouts, thanks to the hero
ism of Barney Ross and the excel
lent spirit displayed by virtually all
service pugilists in training or on
duty. Hence the negotiations to
match Corporal Billy Conn and
Light Heavyweight Champion Gus
Lesnevich Cof the Coast Guard for
a non-title bout at Madison Square
Garden in February.
Dan Parker. able and fearless
sports columnist Of the New York
Daily Mirror, assured his readers to-
day that he would not accept
soon-to-be-Vacated post on the
New York Boxing Commission, al
though Governor ELECT Thomas E.
Dewey recently asked him if he
would be interested. Parker eX-

JACK NOW NO. 1
Some of the boxing writer's
thought Abe Greene, president of
the MIA, had recognized Beau Jack
as lightweight champion in his
statement today But Abe merely
recognized him as No. / contender
who can fight the ultimate MIA
tourney winner for the title. The
New York and New Jersey COM
missions recognize Jack as champ,
although this recognition stipulates
that he must defend against the Ill
innate New York-superViSed tour
nament winner. Just enough diff
ference to keep the fans-and some
of the writer's confused.
Prize fighting attracted so much
in England from 100 10
1850 that one publication alone, the
Licensed Victuallers' Gazette car
ried approximately 100000 words
on the sport during that period.
Henry Armstrong, former triple
champion who had registered IL
wins against one defeat on the
comeback trail, is scheduled TO
leave Los Angeles January 6 for
an eastern campaign. He meets Al
