PreIim Battles Steal

In Most Stirring Bout
Of Five at Turner's

Boxing being what it is, most of

1t always isn't the scheduled feature
attraction that proves the best
battle, especially on the type of
programs running at Turner S

the show frequently, as happened
last night on the card headed by
the eight -rounder between Jimmy
Collins of the Army and Jimmy
Phillips of Baltimore.

both boys throwing punches all the
way, with Luciano tagging his op-

Another with reasonable amount
of action was the four-round opener
in which Frankie Maxwell of Balti-

vlved two first-round knockdowns to
take the nod over Jimmy Jerico of
Washington. After the first round
he jabbed Jerico silly.
The Collins-Phillips engagement
provided too much rassling. Phillips
was the speedier and his fast right
to the body kept Collins off balance
and handicapped the latter in his
efforts to get over chilling punch
although in the fifth and sixth he
did connect with solid blows.

The Yankees will raise their
American League pennant in pre-

Partly because of weather uncer-

on opening day this year is likely
to be less than in the past.
If all eight games get by the

Athletics Remain Futile

Dutch coaxed a Shit game from
his arm in 1941, but Marius Russo
of the Yankees was hotter. Russo
produced a Shit game and Leonard
thus absorbed his second successive
defeat in the presence of President
Roosevelt, this time by 80.
Last year the Mats were blanked
for the third successive opening day
and on that occasion Red Rufhng
rationed Washington three hits to
win, 10, over Sid Hudson. In
the first seven innings Ruffing per-
mitted only Bruce Campbell to
reach first base. Ruffing, Hudson
and Campbell now are in the Army.
So the Mats who we're to take the
field today were attempting to bring
Washington its first opening-day
victory in five years. its first run in
four years. They we're rated a fine
chance of succeeding in both de-
partments. for while a lot of base
ball scenery has been shifted in five
years the Athletics remain con-
slstent. They finished in the cellar
in 1888 and if Manager Connie
