LaMotta is unquestionably the
best fighter Edgar has faced, for
he gave the Little Brown Bomber
the only defeat of his professional
career in a 10-round bout last
August at Madison Square Garden.
Edgar had won 16 straight before
that setback, and he's won three
straight since then, knocking out
Ernie Pelaia and Tony Motisi
while deciSioning Saverio Turiello.
The rematch is a natural, for
Edgar gained more favorable pub
Ilicity in defeat than he would have
lin victory. New York critics hailed
his achievement of giving away IL
pounds but making it fight TO
the finish.

Patched Up Feud

OF interest to Tiger fans, in the
baseball news of the week, was
Del Bakers appointment as a
coach at Cleveland. The former
Tiger manager succeeds Oscar
Melillo. who resigned from the job.
AS a coach with the Tigers, Baker
was outstanding. He is credited
with signal stealing that lessened
Bob Feller's effectiveness against
the Tigers, especially in 1910 when
Detroit edged out Cleveland for
the American League champion
ship.
In fact. al the time feud de-
Iveloped between Baker and Teller,
which was only ended when the
two shook hands at the meetings
/ in Chicago recently.

What of Future?

While the need of a catcher and
outfielder is admitted it is not the
Tigers biggest worry. The big
gest headache for big league base
ball is, of course. what is going TO
happen 10 ii next year.
Will there be enough of high
grade players left to put anything
approaching the caliber of past big
league teams in the field? And,
what is the government going 10
do about travel?
Zeller and other big league
moguls are anxiously awaiting a
Qualification of the governments
travel demands. The Tigers have
plans all set for the annual spring
training jaunt to Lakeland, Fla,
but these plans can be shifted
quickly. according to Zeller.

The deal in which the Yankees
traded RoSar and Roy Cullenbine
to the Indians for Weatherly and
Oscar Grimes took care of that.
And, as result. the Tigers are
still looking for an outstanding
catcher and a hard hitting out
fielder. Rosar and Weatherly
would have filled the bill, but APP
parently the Tigers offered nothing
of interest to either New York or
Cleveland
While there was no evidence of
actual negotiations being started,
it is reported the Tigers did talk
to Joe Mccarthy about Rosar.

metleH-te sbeish-inter-
school sport in Detroit's high
schools, a motion that aroused a
great deal Of Juror several weeks
ago, goes TO the Board OF Educa-
ton Tuesday sprouting modifica-
tons from every side.
The original motion has been
modified so as TO exclude abolish
ment of anything. The athletic
system as il has been in the past,
is slated for revision in places but
the fundamental purposes remain
intact, under the new plan deSig-
mated by a committee of high
school principals.
There is one question which, ac-
eording to members OF the board,
will receive serious consideration
and that is: whether varsities as
they have existed are doomed in
all Of the major sports.
Under the new plan, basketball
will not feature varsity fres.- In
stead, grade teams will play
against grade teams from other
schools. VarSities in football and
baseball will be the chief topics of
discussion Tuesday and If the
opinions of John II. Webster and
DR.. Burt r. Shurly, members of
the board, are worth anything,
those sports should maintain their
present status.

IL can see the space problem
In basketball" said Webster in a

ketball might possible interfere

the Messrs. Shurly, Frank A.
German and Howell van Auken

certain about the impossibility
of basketball varsities before APP
proving their alteration. As 20
football, I'm sure IL can be
arranged to maintain the old
system. Another thing, I'm def
initely against the public schools

Identical Needs

The Indians, like the Tigers,
were in dire need of a catcher,
and in Rosar they got a first class
backstop. 1t will be remembered
that Rosar Jumped" the Yankees
and went home at a time when he
was needed badly. 1t was for this
breach, and not the caliber of his
catching, that Buddy was put on
The market. Besides being a good
receiver, he is n hard hitter.

EXPECT JAPANESE
FORCES AT BUNA
TO CRACK SOON
COMBINED PRESSURE OF AU-
STRALIANS AND AMERI-
CANS rs TOO GREAT TO
OVERCOME. BELIEF.
(By Assoeiated Pres.)

DARWIN, Nov. 18.-Indications
are that almost any day now news
will be received that the japanese
forces at Buna have cracked un-
der the combined pressure of the
Australians and Americans.
Added to that pressure is the
fact that the Japs have not been
able to receive supplies or rein
forcements for more than two
weeks, during which time half a
dozen attempts of japanese ships
to make contact with Buna have
failed.
The Australians have cut down
their distance to Buna to little
more than 30 miles to the north
west. The Americans, coming
from the southeast, are said to be
closer than that to the Jap base,
though the number of miles has
at no time been officially an
'nounced by MacArthur's head
quarters.
