Boston, June 21-UP)-Feather-
weights Maurice Oefty) LaChance
and Larrupin' Larry Bolvin square
off at the Providence, r. I. Audi
forum tonight for 12-round New
England championship bout that
tops boxing this week in the six
state region.
LaChance, the Lewiston, Me,
southpaw and title claimant. rules
a slight favorite because of his su-
perior boxing skill and his ability
to keep coming despite rugged
punching Bolvin, finds some con-
fidence because he is fighting in his
home city, and hopes to halt La
Chance with his looping right
hooks.
Whether or not you believe it is
for the New England featherweight
crown depends upon where you live.
LaChance claims the title as result
of a bout six weeks ago in Port
land, Me, in which he gained a
hairline decision from Tony Costa
of Woonsocket, R. I.
However, the Massachusetts and
Connecticut boxing commissions
have failed to agree that the title
was at stake on that occasion and
have failed to give their okay to
tonignt's Grown" clash. They con-
tend that either Willie Pep of Hart
ford, Conn. the New York-style
champion or Sal Bartolo of Boston,
the No. challenger for the worlds
crown, are better choices for a New
England champion.
Sanctioned Fight
Both the commissions in Maine
and Rhode Island have sanctioned
tonight's LaChance-Bolvin clash as
N. E. title affair
Whether it is title fight or not,
the Rhode Island battle should be
one of the best in New England
in recent months. The pair are
evenly matched and both hold vic
tories over Costa who is ranked No.
4 nationally by Ring Magazine.
The week is made up of good
fights. Tomorrow, Handy Andy Hol-
land of New York battles Gene

rounder at New Bedford Wednes
day a new show opens at Woor
socket, r. l., with Tommy PettiS

the New York baseball writer's
S123,850,0O0 War Bond sale.
Because he went on the block ir
the same group with Dixie Walker
Arky Vaughan brought 100000
as a second choice.
1t wasn't only because it was
largely a Brooklyn promoted lunch
con that Is Dodgers sold for $780,
100000 as against $4,000 900 for a
dozen Yankees and $l5,000,O0O fol-
as many Giants.
Fat Freddie FitZsimmonS was the

The sale reflects the popularity

Beautiful Buns.
The sale once more demonstrated
that Dixie Walker is the pee-pul's

Walker is perhaps the most popu-
lar ball player in Brooklyn history
and the Superbas have had long
line OF them down through the
years-from Wee Willie Keeler tc
Dazzy Vance.
When Larry McPhail and Lee
Durocher failed to start him OF

sidered the interests of sound base

sages by members of the Dixie

The gang wanted Dixie in right

It's difficult to put your finger, on
the answer. Walker was a nonen-
tity In the American League for six
years-with the Yankees, White SoX
and Tigers. Dixie is a halfway lazy
player who does not go out of his
way to cultivate his popularity
Walker came to Ebbetts Field
from Detroit in mid-season of 1895

against the despised Giants, which
is the most tangible reason for his
popularity.

Redskins Get
6 Home Tits
BY TOMMY DEVINE

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
Chicago, June 81 - U.P) - A
bitter internal battle over the 1943
schedule plans threw the National
Football League meeting into a
hopeless deadlock early today and
forced the extension of the session
for another day.
After a continuous 16-hour ses-
sion principally to- mapping the
schedule, the pro grid moguls final
ly abandoned the futile task and
agreed to reconvene today.
AS is the case in most controver-
sial questions in the circuit the is
sue centered around George P.
Marshall, owner of the World
Champion Washington Redskins.
Marshall purportedly had an
agreement with the league that he
be given six home games. He adver-
tised the season ticket sale In the
capital on that basis.
When the tentative schedule was
drafted early yesterday the Red
skins were given the six games.
Then the Juror started.
Inc NEW Ok NJldlllS Sdlu IL VIC
Redskins were entitled to six home
games that they wanted a like
number. At one time the Giants
threatened to abandon competition
unless their demand was met. Jack
Mara, president of the Giants, later
dropped the threat but stuck firm in
his demand.
Under the schedule President Ell
mer Layden originally proposed the
Redskins would have six games at
home, the Chicago Cardinals four
and all the remaining clubs five.
That schedule plan was based
, upon 10 game playing program,
Each club in the league would have
played home and-home engage
ments with every other club in it's
division and one game each with
clubs in the opposite division.
| When the impasse was reached
this schedule arrangement tenta-
lively was abandoned and Layden
set about to draft schedule pro-
posed by Earl (Curley) Lambeau of
the Green Bay Packers. This calls
for one game with every other club
in the league and the remaining
three contests against selected
rivals.

Dodgers Slice Hogg Defeats
Cards Lead In Greg Rice In
Edging Giants n. Y. Race
BY JACK CUDDY
ted Press Staff Correspondent

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
New York, June 21.-UP) The
two runners-Gunder Hagg and
Greg Rice-were still bewildered
when they met with dramatic en-
barrassment in the cavernous con-
crete corridor beneath Triborough
Stadium after yesterdays historic
5000-meter race.
And the things they said to each
other, without benefit of fore
thought or preparation, revealed
that each was somewhat amazed al
the result of their gruelling run.
Both were hurrying to their dress
ing rooms from different directions
both drenched with perspiration-
both aching from the lead" in their
legs-both craving a flop on the
rubbing table and the refreshment
of a shower.
Hagg, the victor, grabbed Rice S
right hand and pumped it enthusi-
astically, saying in Swedish, THAT
was the hardest race I ever had
You're great runner-Rice."
But as the tall skinny Swede
wrung Rice's hand you could see
the bewilderment in his eyes and
detect it in his address. He still
was wondering how his stocky, bar
rel-chested opponent, who had fore
ed him on through the hammering
heat with the threat of a last-lap
sprint, had lost by the surprising
margin of nearly 40 yards.
Hagg still couldn't believe that
margin, although he had extended
himself to such an extent in the
final stages of the grind that he
dropped completely exhausted to the
grass of the stadium infield after
the race.
Rice gazed at the taller victor in
wild-eyed disbelief-as if he were
looking at a miracle man. His
expression explained that it still
seemed impossible that Hagg had
beaten him by such margin after
Rice's IS straight victories.
In his sWeat-drenched white run
ming shorts, Gregg grinned Wryly
and declared, at certainly was my
hardest race, too"
Then they continued DIN to their
dressing rooms.
Haggs quarters, where large
Swedish delegation had gathered
were permeated with subdued graft

AXel Nordquist modified the general
satisfaction by explaining that

Hal Smullen, who returned tc
Notre Dame today, hurled the Maui
gatuck Highlanders to decisive 8
to / victory over the Sacred Hearts
in his league finale, limiting the
East Enders to five hits and fan
ming a half dozen. He BANKED the
Hearts after the opening frame
when he gave up two hits and a
run.
Bill ACE" Adams, leagues hard

safeties, including two singles by
Smullen. The Hearts opened the
scoring in the first. Chapman tripl-
ed and Adams singled for their only
run of the game
The Boroughites came back to tie
the count in their half. Oldakow-
ski singled and Vic Radzevich of
Torrington brought him around with
a triple.
In the third Smullen drew walk
and scored as Frankie Edmonds and
Radzevich singled consecutively. An
other tally in the lucky seventh
sewed up the game for Smuller
and the Highlanders.
Grabeck Supreme
Teddy Grabeck limited Scovill's
to four hits as the Aviglianese kali
somined the factory nine, to 0, to
make up for the 10 setback suf-
fered att heir hands earlier in the
season. Jackie Thompson gave UP
IL hits as the Avigs sewed up the
contest early in the second frame
with three runs, adding two more
in the fifth. Jannetty, Romeo and
Sileo divided hitting honors for the
winners while Thornley, was credited
with half of Scovill's hits.
