Bay Meadows Runs
May Be Resumed

SAN MATEO, Cal, March 81
(UP)-Bay Meadows track officials
said today that racing will probably
be resumed Thursday afternoon al
though Jerry Giesler, chairman OF
the state racing commission, stated
earlier in Washington that the
three-day charity program this
week would be postponed until after
a commission meeting next Mon
day
Joe Cohen, assistant general man
ager at the track, said Giesler had
indicated in a telephone converse
ton from Washington that the
Thursday. Friday and Saturday
races would be allotted as Sched-
uled.
However, earlier dispatches from
Washington quoted Giesler as an
nouncing that the three-day pro-
gram would be postponed to await
the determination of the state
board at an open hearing here. The
board will consider a request for
20 additional days. plus eight char
ity days, which would close the
season about May l.
Giesler and William P. Klyne,
general manager of the track, con-
ferred yesterday with Rubber Dir
ector William Jeffers, who gave no
encouragement on their plan to eX-
tend the racing season but left the
final decision strictly up to the
state commission.

Leonard, Former
Champ. Fovors
Armstrong to Win

+
As Armstrong went through his
training PAGES with Sparmate Sam
my Daniels, Lieut.. Leonard said
I'm going to surprise you with my
prediction for Friday nights fight
l pick Armstrong TO lick Beau
Jack"
We were properly surprised at
Benny's forecast because the bet
ting odds favor Lightweight Cham
pion Beau Jack at lis. Moreover,
Leonard was picking man of 30
guy apparently "oVer the hill"-
to beat strong, hard-hitting
youngster of %.
PRAISES HENRY
The lieutenant in the natty blue
uniform continued, Armstrong at
80 is still an unusual athlete phys
ically and one of the Smartest box
ers I've ever seen. He knows too
much for Beau Jack, and he still
has the body to put that knowledge
into operation.
In spite of all the publicity
Armstrong received while winning
Welterweight titles, he never was
given enough recognition for his
cleVernesS. The experts and fans
concentrated on his punching abili-
ty, his experimentation stamina
and his bobbing and weaving style.
He wasn't recognized as clever be-
cause he was not a stand-up boxer
Leonard, generally rated the
smartest Of all lightweight kings,
emphasized that Armstrong is a
brilliant fighter of the Jack
Dempsey type. He said few people
ever gave Dempsey credit for his
ring brilliance-for his intelligent
execution. Most observers appre-
ciated only the Manassa Mauler's
dynamic punching.
STRANGE RHYTh..
Armstrong is a bobber and Weav-
er also Benny said, but he has
a certain jungle rhythm in his at
tack that I've never seen in any,
one else. This rythm permits him
to maintain a terrific pace from
gong to gong-the most killing pace,
l believe, the ring has known. Arm
strong taught his style and rythm
to Beau Jack, before the Beau ever
had a professional fight. That was
When Armstrong was training for
his second fight with zivic-just
before ne went into retirement. But
Beau Jack hasn't had time yet to
master the things Armstrong taught
him. Perhaps he never will. Beau
Jack tries to initiate Henry, but
he's still awkward, and he can't do
the damaging things at close quar-
tiers that Armstrong does. Henry
will give him a terrific beating in
side, despite Beau Jacks youth
and speed
Leonard stressed that Armstrong;
return to the ring actually is not
a comeback" He explained that
genuine cOme-backS were attempted
only by men who had been out of
the ring for years-like Jim JEFF
fries, and like Leonard, himself.
when Benny tried to lick Jimmy
McLarnin. He said Armstrong mere
~ had a rest for a few months
while his eyes healed
The lieutenant is stationed at the
Hoffman Island, N. Y, maritime
base where he has charge of recre-
alton anG athletics. He said his
station bears down on boxing and
other competitive athletics in prep
aration for service because their
value is appreciated by Capt. NAL

Red Sox
Ripped
By Draft
BY LEO IL. PETERSEN

NEW YORK, March 80 up =
Three rookie outfielders hold the
key to the 1943 American League
pennant hopes of the Boston Red
Sox
II they develop into better than
average requirements for such stars
as Ted williams and Dom Di-
Maggie, Manager Joe Cronin's club
may be an important factor in the
campaign. otherwise, the team
may be hard put to finish in the
first division.
OF all the major league clubs,
the Red Sox were hurt the most at
the close of the 1912 season by the
draft. They lost not only Williams
and DiMaggio but also Johnny
Pesky. the rookie shortstop star,
and some pitching strength. Add
to that the decision of Lou Finney
not to return to baseball and it is
easy to see what a task Cronin has
ahead of him if he wants to finish
in the usual Red Sox tradition of
the past few years-second to the
New York Yankees
FEW VETERANS
Williams, the leagues leading
hitter for the past two years; Dom
DiMaggio, one of the best center
fielders in the circuit, and Finney
formed the regular outfield last
year with the veteran Pete Fox
seeing part-nme service. Now Fox
and Al Simmons, far past his prime.
are the only veteran outfielders on
the roster. Fox may be a regular
but Simmons, if he plays at all,
probably will be used only for
pinch hitting purposes.
So a lot depends on the three
rookie gardeners = Tom Mcbride,
who hit 1929 with Little Rock; John
Lazar, a .309 hitter with Louisville
ard R. F.. Garrison, .295 with Fort
Worth.
Cronin may find it necessary to
shift Jim Tabor, the veteran third
baseman, to the outfield, but that
move will not be possible unless the
Boston manager himself can take
over the chores at the hot corner.
The rest of the infield is set with
Tony Lupien at first, Bobby Doerr
at second and Eddie Lake, up from
Sacramento where he hit .278, at
short. If Lake should fail to meas
ure up as Pesky's successor, Lamar
NeWsome will be ready to step in.
SHARE DUTIES
Johnny Peacock and Bill Conroy
are scheduled to share first string
catching duties with Herbert Brem-
er from Little Rock, Roy Portee
from Portsmouth and Perne Rich
ards from Wilkes-Barre fighting it
out for the third spot.
Headed by Cecil Hughson, who
won % games in his first major
league season, there are eight men,
bers of last years pitching staff
back and for a change Croning may
not have his usual hurting worries.
The other holdovers are Mace
Brown, Ken Chase, Joe Dobson,
Oscar Judd, Heber NeWsome,
Dominic Ryba and Yank Terry.
Last year the eight of them won 70
games.
Four rockies are trying for places
on the staff-Albert Olsen, Norman
Brown, Anton Karl and Louis
Lucier. Olsen and Brown were with
San Diego where they won 18 and
12 games respectively. Lucier won
13 with Louisville and Karl six with
the same club.

Carpenter PIeuses Boss

The reason I feel I might have
left Wynn in there is because he
had pitched his heart out for two
games and hadn't anything to show

maybe I should have left him in and
gambled he wouldn't come up with

The American Leagues pennant
race seems to be in the hands OF the
draft authorities today.
1t has been right within their
reach all along, of course, and all the
pennant predictions this spring were
hedged with a dense foliage of "ifs
and butts covering the possibility
of the loss of key players.
However, the matter is down to
cases now. Today Shortstop George
Stirnweiss of the Yankees undergoes
an induction examination at Hart
ford, Conn, and it was disclosed
that an appeals board at Mansfield
Ohio, has retained Second Baseman
Ray Mack of the Indians in Class Ia
Both Are Vital Cogs.
Neither of the players is as prom
inent as some that are sure to be
called later. but they are vital cogs
in the clubs that now rank one-two
in the American League.
Mack was married on October 16
1910, the date CT the first draft
registration, is the father of an 49,
month-old daughter and expects an
other child this summer. The Indians
had expected him to be deferred by
the selective service ruling that
fathers of children born before last
September Is would not be called
until the supply of single and child
less men had been exhausted.
The appeals board said its de-
cision was not unanimous, leaving
Mack the right to take his case tc
the presidential board.
Stirnweiss, bridegroom of about
six weeks, is understood to have
stomach ulcers and Yankee spokes-
men have said he was rejected fol
this reason when he tried to become
a naval aviation cadet. Thus there
is doubt about the future of both
players, but no doubt that the de-
cisions on their cases will have q
bearing on the pennant race.
