American League Drew We'll Enough During Past Season

sition by sponsoring @ garish thing called the Hale American tourna- ment; 1t was a thre-ring circus of golf and had none of the dignity of the traditional National Open and the manner in which the affair was conducted must have been ern- barrassing to the fathers. They could just as well have held their own open.
 This year the situation is differ ent. Most of the name players are in uniform. Under the circumstances any kind of open would be an empty thing. Just the same we wish the golflng fathers had done sorne- thing about a national junior; 1t would do no harm to keep part of their competitive program alive.
 Jinx Had Oomph
 In announcing they will carry on, the tennis fathers are engaging in wishful hoping. That's all right. too. If they can fill their fixtures, there's no reason why they shouldn't. Besides, we imagine, there1l always be ink Falkenberg. She's the leggy glamour girl from Hollywood who stole the show at the Nationals last summer. The only detail in which she reminded you of Helen Wills was the way she played tennis so differently. But she had what the old world word painters used to call ooomp and that apparently was more than enough. It was a striking triumph of allure over artistry, a triumph which did the box office no harm, by the way.

.STANDOUTS MAY. MEET IN MARCH
 AT N. Y. GARDEN
AngOtt and Beau Jack Ex- pected to Settle E35
 Pound Championship

New York, Jan. 11.--(UP) Pro- moter Mike Jacobs took the first decisive step to clarify the muddled lightweight situation today by an- nouncing that he would match Beau Jack of Augusta, Ga., against Sam my Angott of Washington, Pa, in March and thus provide boxing with an undisputed 135-pound champion.
 At present, the lightweight divi. sion is more confused than the plot of g. dime mystery -boasting two champions, several contenders of note and an ex-charnpion, who re- tired recently, but has since re- turned to the ring.
 Jacobs, discouraged by @he kalei- doscopic cut of the setup, completely abandoned plans for the round- robin boxing program which was to provide a suitable opponent for Jack, who is recognized as cham pion by the New York commission and top-ranking conteder by the Natioal Boxing association.
 Tourney Topped
 Angott's sudden decision to re- turn Co competlClon atCer giving up the title only last November and other development took all the zing out of the tourney anyway. Sammy said his sands, original reason for his retirement, had healed and he was "rarin' to go."
 The tourney opened disrnally last Friday when Boo Montgomery won an unimpressive victory over Ches- ter Rico and then stalled completely when the Philadelphian said an in- jured hand would prevent him from fighting Joey Peralta of Tamaqua, Pa, in the second-round cHrd Fri day night at Madison Square Gar den.

 Meanwhile, Slugger White, the other champion-recognized by the Maryland ommission-does not choose to fight in New York; Cleo ShanS plans to box as a feather weight; Willie Joyce, Chicago con- tender has been decisively beaten by White and Maxie shapiro of New York is i'll.

Like Other War Time Sports Ski Jumping Is Without Its Greatest Star, TOrger TOkle
By HARRY CRIMSON NEA Service Sports Editor

New York.-Ski jumpers again are soaring down icy chutes and leaping good distances, but, like other war time sports, this hazardous Scandi- navian spectacle is without its great est star, Pvt. Torger Tokle.
 Nobody ever jumped as far or like Private Tokle, now with mountain ski troops at Camp Hale, Colo.
 Ski jumping may be deprived of two more of its big names shortly. Sergeant-Pilot Ola Aanjesen expects to go abroad with the Royal Nor- wegian Air Force. Arthur Devlin of Lake Placid and Syracuse anti- cipates an early call by the Army Air Force.
 It was sergeant-Pilot Aanjesen who defeated Private Tokle on form in the national champion ship jump in Duluth last winter. TOKLE NEVER OUTJUMPED
 Actually Tokle was never beat en. Six times he was outpointed on form, but never did a com- petitor outjump him. And since coming to this country from Norway in January, 1889, he has competed in 50 tournaments. In four winters of jumping, he made more than 500 leaps, fell only five times. He def1ed laws of gravitation, never suffered an in- jury.
 what sonia 9enie did for ica skating, Tokle did for ski jump ing He popularized and revolu. tionized the art.
 Tokle is one in connection with whose feats you may properly use the word sensational. His exploits lifted ski jumping to the status of a major winter sport.
 Hill records that stood for years yielded to him He broke 20.
 RISKS LIFE FOR RECORD
 As Buck Erickson, sports col- umnist of The Iron Mountain News of Iron Mountain, Mich, the nations ski jumping capital, points out, Tokle, leaping in all kinds of weather. including snow storms, outjumped practically every hill he rode. He outjumped one by 36 fet. Experts were of the opinion that such a jump would be certain death.
 The way Tokle jumps, slip might mean death.
 "A crowd of 10000 came to see the record broken at Pine Moun- tain last March," relates Buck Erickson. ''Tokle knew the hill was good for no more than 275 feet. He knew he was risking life and limb by shooting any higher. Disregarding all that, he gave the

cago White SoX that season and for the Detroit Tigers the following year but in 1889 he twisted his knee and Detroit let him go to Brooklyn.
 While he hasn't been mercury on the basepaths or goliath at the plate, Dixie has been such a ballplayers' ballplayer that he is just about the most popular player in the National League and now that MacPhail has left for the army, Walkers star may really shine under Hickey.
 Now employed at the Sperry Gy- roscope plant as Director of Recrea- tion, Walker is not particularly worried about his baseball future.
 Right now I'm thinking about what we can do for the boys in the service when the season comes around" he said. I've got plenty to occupy me in this job and as for baseball, well, maybe somebody else will take care of that for me-they always have"

 New York, Jan. II (U.P0 - Baseball in Brooklyn may be revolu- tionized by the ascendancy of Branch Rickey to presidency of the Dodgers, but to one player-Fred (Dixie) Walker the future must at long last loom particularly bright.
 Any discussion Of mob psychology in baseball must center around Dodger fans as a whole and Dixie in particular. He is a ,soft-spoken, hard playing veteran, who has been the summertime idol of Brooklyn bleacherites and front-of11ce orphan under Larry MacPhail.
 It was no secret to either fans or players that there was little love lost between MacPhail and Walker. Veteran of Il years of major league competition, Dixie was bought by Larry in desperation and although he was one of the teams most con- sistently effective performers, he was treated like a poor relation. MacPhail tossed batting and field ing averages out the window, never considreed him a good player and probably still doesn't.
 Able
 But the rich baseball heritage and varied talents as an outflelder and a hitter that stamped Walker throughout his big league career as big-time kept his wide smile just as wide and his soft voice just as soft and boosted his batting average to one of the best on the club.
 In his four years with Brooklyn he has been a big factor in the clubs rise. He batted over 300 twice -notching 1908 in l940 and .3ll the following year - and although he fell to .2o0 last season. he banged out IA hits in li8 games and was third on the club in runs batted In. with 54. He was bettered only by Dolph Camilli and Pete Reiser.
 It seemed impossible that player who had overcome career studded with hard luck and Injuries to be- come a valuable asset to pennant' hungry club should be shunted aside and benched frequently-but that Il what happened. Perhaps the hard luck made him immune to executive idiosyncrasies because he just abs sorbed every rap. pulled in his belt stuck out his chin and kept swing' ing.
 Walker inherited his nickname Dixie, from his dad who was c bll league pitcher when Fred was boEr on Sept. 24, 1910 in Villa Rica, 0a His uncle pitched in tho majors allc his brother, Harry, is with the St Louis Cardinals, but YTeds sheel courage is his own personal aual' ity.
 Insured
 Dixie suffered his first tOugk break when he stepped into Babl Ruthh shoes on the New YoEl Yankees. He hit ib homers for hal that season only Co iujure his Figh shoulder running into c concretI wan.
