 New York, Sept. 25. (BUP)-The widely advertised Louis-Conn heavy weight title fight Oct. 12 has been waited into such a governmental detor that even John Kieran of the New York Times-Radio Quiz Program expert-can't pop up with the answer.
 KiOran, chairman of the sports writers committee in charge of the fight and president of war boxing, Inc, the promoting committee, says, s'we don't know what the Shooting'S all about"
 Kioran to yesterdays statement by Sscrstary of War Henry L. Stlm- son who suddenly announced that he would personally investigate the shocking" details of the scheduled fight between Sgt. Joe Louis and Corp. Billy Conn.
 We are virtually in the same boat with Kieran, since we were mem her oS the ultimate committee, that voted for Louis and Conn together to get total of $135, ,451 53 from the fight.
 Delay?
 We do not know the details that shocked Secretary Stimson, but we can assure him that plenty of our ektizeas were Surprised-to put it seSldly-becauSe of the fact that one 4.H week was required from the time of the pay-off announcement to the date when Secretary St1m- son got the full details.
 And there is the suspicion that Secretary Stin1son might not have received the full details then had not Representative Donald l.. O'Toole of New York asked Con- zress for an investigation Wednes- day. In fact, OToole told the House that the Army was making ..mockery" of war by permitting Louis and Conn to be paid for their efforts as two members of the army.
 The history of the case is this: On Sept. 8, 1t was announced that Louis and Conn would fight re- turn bout Oct. 12 at an undeSlg- mated site. That announcement was approved by a small committee, composed mostly of New York sports editors and columnists. We did not attend that meeting, since neither the United Press nor Associated Press had been put on the original committee.
 Nor did we attend the committee's $ necond meeting when it was dis closed that Louis and Conn would have to be paid if they fought, and at which discussion dealt with the awarding of a radio contract for the light broadcast.
 Army o. K.
 Having been notified that we were q committee member we attended the big meeting in the hotel New Yorker, Sept. 18. At this meeting 1t was announced that a total of &l35, ,A51. .53 must be paid to Louis and Conn, otherwise the fight would
 be called of. A supposed repre- sentative of the war department assured everyone that this plan had been approved by the war depart rnent. because the department real szed that in the final figuring army relief would get about $500,000 from the fight.
 Despite the warnings of veteran Qrantland Rice, who was resigninG his job as chairman of the sport' committee, everyone else voted tt stage the fight and to pay Loui' and Conn the sum mentioned.
 when we walked out of that meet sug, we thought the whole thing wa! settled and that the war depart nent had acted very wisely in viev Of the aspects Of case in whici Inc champion had long ago beer nroInised Q "tax fight" because h' vas donating two title purses t

New York, Sept. 25-(uP)-Tt will be youth against age behind the bat in the 1942 world series with neither team having much of an advantage.
 Over seasons play, either Walk CT Cooper of the St. Louis Cardinals or Mickey Owen of the Brooklyn Dodgers rate over aging Bill Dickey of the New York Yankees. But in a short series age can make big difference like it did in 1940 when old Jimmy Wilson came out of re- tirement to lead the Cincinnati Reds to the worlds championship over the Detroit Tigers.
 Natinoal leaguers will argue over whether Owen or Cooper is the bet ter catcher but American leaguers are agreed that Dickey is one of the greatest money players in baseball history. He has slowed down this season, but the los of speed hasn't affected his old habit of coming through when the chips are down.
 A tip of on the kind of catcher he is comes from his teammates. If the Yankes have a tieing or win ming run on base they would select Dickey over all their sluggerS for the clutch job.
 So far as their handling of pitch CTS is concerned, there is little to choose among the three. They also rate the same on field generalship.
 They are steadying influences for their pitchers. They keep their moundSmen throwing at the batter's weakness, and know how to aid them through the tight spots.
 Mickey Made Good
 Because the series promises to be a tight one, experience may pay of. In a money series, it is the young ster who is liable to crack. World series games are old stuff to Dickey; it would be something new for Cooper. Owen has ben in one-one that he won't forget for long time because of that third strike episode, but if ever a man made good on overcoming mistake, 1t is the Brooklyn receiver.
 Dickey has the best hitting per- centage .295, against .282 for Cooper and .261 for Owen. But Cooper has batted in the most runs-62 against AS for Owen and 37 for Dickey. Cooper, however, has been in 123 games against 82 for Dickey.
 The Yankees have the best re- serves. In Rollie Hemsley and Bud- dy Rosar they have two catchers good enough to be regulars on many teams. Rosar is dangerous pinch hitter and Hensley, who took new lease on life after the Yankees picked him up as Q free agent, is q master at handling pitchers.
 Ken O'Dea and Sam Narron. who isn't likely to see any srevice, are the Cardinal reserve catchers while Brooklyn has only one-1illy suiii- van,

BIG CTIME HOCKEY
 MAY CONTINUE.

Toronto, Sept. 25 - (UP) - The board of governors of the National hockey league concludes two-day meeting here today and league President Frank Calder said an important statement on the future of big-time hockey may be forth coming.
 The management committee of the league held two closed sessions yesterday but Calder declined to make any statement regarding the nature of the discussions. The meet ing, had been called following an announcement from Ottawa that the Canadian Selective Service board would not stand in the way of organized hockey next season.
 On the agenda of the conference were the schedule, new international regulations for the professional sport and relations between the National hockey league and the amateur circuits.
 DuttOns to Play
 Of the three main pro leagues, only the national is certain, to oper- ate. The American Association in the United States has discontinued operations for this season and it Is doubtful whether the formerly pow erful American league will be able to carry on.
 Red Dutton, manager of the Brooklyn Americans, announced that his club definitely would play this season. Although hard hit by military enlistments, Dutton's club as well as the others, will have a large minor league player group to choose from, many of them veterans ineligible for military draft call.

PRE-FLICHTERS
 EXPECTED TO
 TOP COLLEGIANS
Great Lakes Grid Squad Picked Over Michigan;
 FOrdham Over Purdue
BY OSCAR FRALEY

United Press Staff CorrespOndent)
 New York, Sept. 25.-tUP)-Texas Christians horned frogs battle UCI,A in an intersectional test, and Georgia, facing the jarring Jack sonville Pliers, becomes the first major grid power to meet a tough service test as college football opens its first big week end tonight.
 TOU ranked a slight favorite on the basis of its aerial attack but the Georgia Jacksonville game was another story. Despite it's Orange Bowl reputation and All-America back Frankie Sinkwich, Georgia ranked thee underdog against the Tars, who have virtually an all-pro team sparked by Dukes George Mo- Afee.
 In other top games tonight Tenn ple's Owls fly high against 8 sub- par Georgetown team while Ala bama, king of the Cotton Bowl, breezes through the motions against Southwestern Louisiana.
 Georgia's predicament is similar to that of four other big time schools Saturday. Here two teams from the rugged Big 10 and two Ivy league schools are second choices to commando calibre service clubs.
 Service Teams Tops
 Packing wealth of reserve strength, Great Lakes drew the nod over Michigan, while Bernie Bier mans fast-stepping Iowa Naval Ca dets were the choice over North western. Jim Crowley,s North Car olina Air Cadets threatened to blast Harvard and the Georgia Air Cadets were even money against Penn, powerhouse of the Ivy league. On the coast, St. Mary's pre-flight was favored over Oregon.
 Only against the smaller service teams were the colleges favored. These games include: Ohio State- Fort Knox, Tulsa-U. S. Air, Rice Corpus Christi, Columbia-Fort Monmouth and Princeton-Lakehurst Naval Air Base.
 Fordham, seeking another Bowl bid, was 9-5 over Purdue in an 1n- tersectional battle as the midwest and the west coast came up with the feature all-co1lege attractions. Iowa's passing game made it the selection over Nebraska, and Minnesota pow CT was expected to stop Pitt. Notre Dame drew the Duke over Wiscon- sin, Illinois over South Dakota, 1n- diana over Butler and Marquette over Kansas.
 On the coast, Southern Gals Tro- jans were favored over Tulane in another intersectional tilt. Sanford was expected to halt Washington State in a Conference battle.
 Other games, with favored teams first, are Califoria- St. Mary's, Santa Clara Utah, Washington College of Pacific, Oklahoma Oklahoma Ag- gies, and Oregon State-Utah.
 Georgia Tech-Auburn and Wake Forest-North Carolina ranked as southern tossups with Texas A. & M. a favorite over L. S. U. Satur- day night. Other games. favorites first, included: Duke-Davidson, Texas-Kansas State, s. M. U.-North Texas, Clemson-VMI, and Tennes- See-South Carolina.
 In the east Cornell was favored over Lafayette, Boston U over American International, William and Mary and Navy a tossup and Holy Cross over Dartmouth.

WRIGHT RATED
 EVEN CHOICE TO
 KEEP HIS GROWN
Challenger Was 7-5 Yes- terday; Title Go May
 Draw $3O,OOO House
BY JACK CUDDY
rnited Press Staff Correspondent

'
 New York, Sept. 25-(UP) = They're staging the first feather weight title fight in five years at Madison Square Garden tonight. And the betting boys can't quite make up their minds whether age and experience or youth and stam- ina shall take the crown.
 Hence it is that champion Chalky Wright, whose indeterminate age may range from 30 to 40, is rated an even bet to retain his 126-pound crown against Lulu Constantine of New York, the 21-year- -old challen- ger who has lost but two bouts in GA professional fights.
 Wright, Los Angeles Negro, be- came an even-money bet late yester- day when he received support be- cause of his explosive punch and because of his vastly superior ring experience.
 Before that young Constantine had been rated as high as 7-5 favor- ite because of his youth, fancy Dan boxing, ruggedness and stamina. Al- so because young Lulu had fought old Chalky once before, on May T, and lost disputed eight-round de- cision to Wright.
 Tired
 Tn that non-title engagement, Wright rolled up plenty of points in the early rounds, but faded in the later going. It was virtually the same story in Wright's last Garden appearance when he went out out of his featherweight class to tackle the lightweight challenger, Allie Stolz. That was a Hereunder, and Stolz gave Chal!sy terrific batter ing on the night of Aug. 6, winning the decision by wide margin as Wright folded in the latter half of the battle.
 But Costantino must win on points; he can't punch. Whereas Wright, despite his age can punch and may score a knockout. During Chalky's 250 or 300 professional bouts, he has belted out more than half of his opponents. Hence the even betting.
 Remember?
 Regardless of who wins, 1t is the first featherweight title tilt in the Garden since Oct. g, 1887, when Henry Armstrong won the first oi his three titles by knocking out Petey Sarron.
 Wright, who once was a sparrins partner for Armstrong, is recog- nized as champion by New York and affiliated states, although Jack ie wilson of Pittsburgh is hailed as the 126-pound king by the National Boxing Association.
 Both champion and challenger expected to come in just under the 126-pound limit. Promoter Mike Jacobs expected a crowd of 13,00( and gate of $30,O00.

Navy and Army relief. But Louis had been pushed around after wards. After the military man in New York, who had given the prom ise, was shifted to different job in Washington.
 The New York sports writers were quite willing to give Joe Louis a break-and Billy Conn too-in view of their background and particu- larly when the break was suggested and approved by the war depart ment-apparently.
