Noimon Massey Borees In

Recently there has come to the
fore one Naiman Massey, Alexan-
dria's maestro of maui, an articu-
late, colorful strategist with a shock
Of black hair and plenty on the ball.
Massey, long identified with anna
teur boxing, was swept into pro
ranks along with the wave of simon
pures who spilled over into the
higher brackets of beak- busting
after long apprenticeships.
Glenn Drake and Lew Hanbury
were in the same flood, but at this
writing Massey's work entities him
to the label of the most likely to
succeed in the class.
Naiman, like Twomey, is a stern
taskmaster in the gym. He tolerates
no tomfoolery from either pros or
amateurs under his wing, but any
time one of his boys steps into the
ring the customers know he's ready
for the test. That was one thing
you could say about Twomey's fight
ers, they could stand up under fire.

Mats TO Play As
In Opening Tilt
Others Are to Stort
Day Loter; AH-Stor
Come Set July Is
By AUSTIN BEALMEAR,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2l.-Every-
thing is being set back week In
the coming major league baseball
season-including the opening, the
close and the an-star game-and
even the "holdout" campaign, which
precedes each pennant fight, may be
in for an enforced delay.
This was indicated yesterday
when President William Harridge
of the American League met with
President Ford Frick of the National
loop to complete the schedule adj
justments brought about by war
time necessity.
Harridge disclosed that all clubs
in his circuit had been asked to
hold up player contracts until the
director of economic stabilization
rules whether baseball comes under
the salary freezing order. Frick
said National League clubs were
| withholding contracts for the same
reason. with the exception of the
New York Giants, who are pro-
ceeding under a regional ruling.
| Baseballs advisory council, headed
by Commissioner K. NJ. Lands, has
asked for the national ruling on the
matter of salaries, and players won't
receive their contracts until it is
made. Thus, no player can start
his annual spring "holdout" for
more money until he f1nds out how
much he's being offered in the
first place.
Mats Get Early Start.
The 1943 season, the league pres
ident agreed, will open on We'd
nesday, April 81, and close Sunday.
October 8. The annual all-star
game will be played Tuesday, July
13, at Shibe Park in Philadelphia,
with the Athletics of the American
League as sponsors
Since Washington opens on the
road, 1t will be host to the Athletics
in a preliminary game, April 20,
under a time -honored arrangement
of having a special opening at the
Nations Capital every other year.
Here is the schedule for the April
81 opening:
American League-Washington at
New York, Boston at Philadelphia,
Chicago at st. Louis, Detroit at
Cleveland. National League--New
York at Brooklyn. Philadelphia at
Boston, st. Louis at Cincinnati
Pittsburgh at Chicago.
Home openers for the teams that
start on the road will be Tuesday
April 27, in the National League and

CHICAGO, Jan. 21.-The Hale
America Open golf tournament, sue
cessor last year to the war-shelved
National Open, in turn may be
succeeded this year-but perhaps in
name only.
The Chicago District Golf Asso-

national in scope and with proceeds
going to some war relief agency,

ably would be identified by a name
other than Hale .America.
Last years Hale America held at
Chicago's Ridgemoor Club was
sponsored jointly by the Profession
al Golfers Association, the United

CDGA, which combined its usual
Chicago Open with the Hale Amer
lea. Proceeds of the event, won by
Ben Hogan, totaled S25, 1000 and went
to the Navy Relief and USO or
