The Southern and Eastern dis

However, the Midwest and Rocky

entire country showed a gain.
A year ago the teams averaged
1854 points a game, this season the

average, 10 points, was set in 1922

Griff Dispoirs Of Making Any

In getting the American Leagues
permission to play % games, Crit
fifth obtained seven more than last
season and IA more than Philadel
phia, Chicago. ST. Louis or Cleveland
will be allowed to play next year.
It's likely the National League will
vote against Griffiths % night
games and that would place the
decision up to Commissioner Ken
esaw Mountain Lands. who blocked
Griffiths hope of playing % games
last season. Lands probably will
trim Washingtons night games to
81.
Try to Get Gift.
The Mats sizable contingent Of
Griffith, Ossie Bluege, Joe Cambria,
Edward B. Eynon, Jr.: Joe Engel and
Calvin Griffith wasn't idle. They
talked to the St. Louis Browns Luke
Sewell and Don Barnes in an at
tempt to obtain Third Basemar Har-
lond Cliff. The Browns bosses, it
developed, aren't interested in re
leasing Cliff. but they were willing
to talk about getting Leonard from
the Mats. Also seeking Leonard is
Manager Joe McCarty of the Yam
kees.
The Browns made the Mats an
offer but nothing will come of it.
They said they'd be happy to part
with Pitcher Eden Auker and a
character named Dillinger who
played third base for Toledo last
season. providing Washington would
send St. Louis Pitcher Paul Dean
and Infielder Jimmy Pofahl. Block
ing that suggested trade was the
fact Washington bosses had been
informed Dillinger shortly will enter
the Army.
The Mats quest of either Oscar
Grimes or Russ Peters of the
Indians probably will meet with
disappointment. The Indians have
been notified that Second Baseman
Ray Mack might remain at his de-
fense plant job and that First Base
man Les Fleming is likely to be
drafted. Thus the Indians may be
forced to play Grimes at first and
Peters at second.
Everybody is scared to DEATH"
says Manager Bluege The minute
you start asking about one of their
players they come back with a prop
osition that's equivalent to taking
your whole club. I don't believe
there will be much trading at this

Robinson Boosts

Over Jannazzo

Bout as Izzy Takes
Beating in Eighth
BY LARRY SMITH,
sEor,ated prose Cnortr yur;t,r

CLEVELAND, Dec. 2.-Ray Robin
son, Inc, isn't listed on the New
York Stock Exchange but many a
fight fan wished today he owned a
slice of the stock.
The company, whose business is
fighting by the president and treas
urer, Mr.. Robinson-better known
as Sugar-last night eliminated a
business competitor, Welterweight
Izzy Jannazzo, on the Cleveland
News 18th annual Christmas fund
show at the arena.
Eliminated" is the word. for the
1872 pound Jannazzo absorbed such
barrage of lefts and rights in the
eight stanZa of their scheduled 10
rounder that Robinson was awarded
technical knockout while crowd
of 12,190 that paid S47,93498 to
watch the program roared its ap-
proval.
Jannazzo Stout hearted.
Robinson, weighing l45, delivered
volley of lefts and rights to jan
naZzo's face during most of the first
seven rounds. In the eighth Sugar
slammed Izzy all over the ring and
finally floored him for count of
nine Robinson resumed his deadly
attack after Jannazzo arose and
Referee Jackie Davis halted it after
2 minutes and 43 seconds of the
round.
Jamazzo probably could have
saved himself a lot of punishment
by not mixing it with Robinson. but
he was long on courage Every time
Jannazzo landed one blow he took
three or four in return from Robin
son. Izzy even staggered Sugar
with a hard right in the fifth, but
that only brought on a furry of
hard lefts and rights from Sugar
Bobo Knocks Out Lane
The match was the second be-
tween Robinson and Jannazzo in
recent weeks. Izzy dropped a 10
round decision to Robinson in Phila-
delphia but was outclassed thor
oughly last night by the unbeaten
Sugar, who now has won l34
fights, amateur and pro.
1t took big Harry Bobo of Pitts
burgh, 211-pound aspirant for the
world heavyweight championship,
only two minutes and 49 seconds of
the opening stanza to knock out
Larry Lane of Trenton, N. j., in
a bout listed for 10 rounds. Lane
weighed 1911.
Ezzard Charles, 2l-year-old Gin
cinnati light heavyweight, at 166,
gave away 18 pounds in his 10-round
rematch with Heavyweight joey
Maxim Of Cleveland but this was
no handicap as Charles registered
his second win Of the year over
the Clevelander.
Berger, Pirrone Win.
In an eight-round battle Make
Berger of Montreal, l43, won de-
cision over Bobby Richardson, $50,
of Cleveland. Richardson outpunched
Berger in several rounds, but lost
three because of low blows.
Dick Chamer, 139, of New York,
Ray Robinson's sparring partner,
made a quick exit in his scheduled
four-round opener with Joey Pirrone,
1877, of Cleveland. Pirrone chalked
up a technical knockout in 33 sec
onds of the first round.

Cardinals Renew No Minor
Agreements, Will Reduce
Scouts, Says Breadon
Py the Associated Press


CHICAGO. Dec. 2.-Sam Breadon
president of the st. Louis Cardinals,
said today he had not renewed any
minor league working agreements
for 1943 and that he also intended
reducing his scouting staff.
One of the scouts expected to go
is Frank Rilkey, brother of Branch
Hickey, who recently left his post
as vice president of the Cardinals
to become president of the Brooklyn
Dodgers. However, Breadon said
Frank Hickey still was on the st.
Louis payroll.
Breadon said no connections would
be concluded with minor league
clubs until the outlook for players
becomes clearer. He had reached
informal understandings with one
or two clubs.
I'VE want to help whatever clubs
we can, but right now we don't
know how many or what players
will be available, and we are not in
position to send assistance to any
one he concluded.

Topped exhausted on his bed after

All those other fellows want to talk
about are George Case, Stan Spence
and Dutch Leonard. But I think
we're laying the foundation for some
swaps later.
I'm gonna cut our spring exhibit
ton games drastically. We've been
playing 30 games or so. but this
year I think We'll cut it in half. l
can't tell yet Just how many games
we'll play because I haven't gotten
the ideas of the other clubs We're
supposed to play the Yankees in Or
lando. for instance. but I wouldn t
be surprised if they cancelled that
one.
Yes, We'll go back to Orlando. I
have a contract with Orlando for
another year and. besides, I don t
believe we could get any closer to
Washington and be guaranteed good
weather. Well probably start train
ing later and do a lot of playing
among ourselves rather than travel
all over Florida. The games we play
will be near by Orlando or in Or
lando. We won't be travelling to
Miami, Miami Beach, West Palm
Beach or st. Petersburg.
No Startling Announcements.

the leagues Thursday It'll be up to

Neither the American nor Ma
tional League bosses trudged from
their respective meetings with any
astounding announcements. They
were cooped up all day but when
they emerged their statements were
disappointing to the footsore group
of sports writer's who had been test

Two Maryland Sophs
Brighten Outlook
For Basket Ball
Seen as Help to Trovis
And Mont; Good Boxing
Squad Awaits Coach

Winter sports held the spotlight
on the University of Maryland cam
pus with prospects good for winning
teams in both basket ball and box
ing this season.
Ernie Travis and Tommy Mont,
who accounted for 63 per cent of the
Old Liners court totals last year,
are back in harness and expected to
generate most of the power on the
quintet, but this time they may
have some badly needed help.
Coach Burt Shipley, beginning his
Goth season at the helm, is counting
on Paul Flick and Jack Huffman
fboth outstanding as freshmen, to ado
a punch to the attack.
Quigley Tuning Scrappers.

last season. ringing the bell with 327
points in % games. Mont trailed
with 180 but stood out like the pro-
verbal sore thumb among a dozen
other contenders whose total added
up to meager 297.
Flick, a 212-pound, 6-foot 3-inch
husky, is agile and fast and is ex-
pected to be a tremendous help
under the blackboard retrieving stray
shots. He also displayed a fairly
good scoring eye for the froSh last
season. Huffman. 6-foot l-inch
guard, is good defensive man and
an excellent shot.
Other Promising Talent.
Also winning favor in Ships eyes
are Bob James and Don Schuerholz,
lettermen: Jim Kinsman and Jim
Horn, both of whom have had some
varsity experience. The starting
quintet probably will be picked from
those mentioned, with Eddie Baitz
and Carlton S elmer, also lettermen,
and Julian Anderson and Jack Bren-
