LOSS OF REISER,
 MAYBE WALKER
 MAY'RUIN' CLUB
DiMaggiO Has Not In. formed Yankee Bosses of
 His Future Plans
By PAUL sCHEFFELs


 United Pres Staff COrrespOndentl New York, Jan. i4--(UP)-Tha Army left wide swath in the rankG of two major league ball clubs to, day, removing outflelders Pete Relser from the Brooklyn Dodgers and Joe DiMagglo from the New York Yankees for the duration.
 Coupled with the loss of otheH players of lesser caliber to the serv- ices and the expected employment of several more in defense jobs, tho absence of Reiser and DiMaggio will make for Q potent ieveling-oti process in the first divisions of both major leagues, and the Dodgers and Yankees will be hard. pressed in i04S to retain their positions as baseball big-wigS,
 May Lose "Dixle"
 The Dodgers also face the loss of veteran fychaser Dixie Walker, now employed as head of the recreation department at the Sperry gyroscope plant. Walker, although he has made no official statement, has in- timated that he may remain at his post and not return to the club,
 Reiser has passed his final physi- cal examination and was sworn in ct Jefferson Barracks, Mo, yester- day. Last month, Reiser was trans ferred to @ St. Louis draft board after he had been re.classifled from S-A to l-A and 1t was reported he might be deferred because of Q double hernia, The Army examina- ten disclosed no serious physical defects. He faced battery of photographers for the last time yes- terday and remarked, with Q grin:
 "Gee, it's swell day for baseball, Gotta 90 now, fellows, because only have seven days, This looks like the real thing"
 Reiser, "A, has been the clubs leading hitter for the past two years with averages of .34S (best in the league) for le4i and .Sl0 last season Should Walker quit 1t would leave the club with only five outfielders--- Luis Olmo, rookie who has neveH played better than class B; Hal Peck, rookie who lost 0 toe in hunting accident during the winter; Frenchy Bordagaray, at best only Q utility man, and Joe Medwick.
 Big Handicap
 DiNEaggio's loss will be Q damag- ing blow to the Yankees who have already lost such important men as first baseman Buddy Hasset, short stop Phil Rizzuto, pitcher Red Rolf flng and outfielder Tommy Heinrich. It leaves the club with only two sea- soned outtielders Charley Keller and Roy Weatherly. obtained re- gently from the Cleveland Indians. President Ed Barrow said that he had not officially been informed of DiMaggio's plans but he neverthe- less wished him "Godspeed and good luck" 'fN
 we are perfectly in accord with any player who wishes to serve his country. Joe should make @ fine soldier"

In This Corner.
(Reg. U. s. Pat. Of.) By JACK CUDDY

United Press Staff COrrespOndent)
 New York, Jan. 14-(UP)-With the cards stacked against him, Sergt. Jackie (California) Wilson welterweight wares in 8 feature finally gets a chance to show his bout at Madison Square Garden tomorrow night.
 Wilson, of the Army Air Corps at Mitchell Field, N. r., should not be confused with Pittsburgh Jackie Wilson, a civilian who is recognized as featherweight champion by the National Boxing Association. Both are Negroes.
 Sergt. Wilson and his adroit man. ager, Walter Melrose, have forced this featured Garden showing with campaign of accusations aimed at CD Promoter Mike Jacobs and CD Young Ray Robinson, the top well terweight contender.
 For many months, Wilson and Melrose have bounded both Jacobs and Robinson, recrying the injus- tice of Jacobs match making which kept Sergt. Jackie out of the Gar den, and shouting to the world that Robinson was afraid to meet the hard-hititng man from Mitchell Field.
 But now, because a lightweight tournament bout was washed out when Bob Montgomery of Philadel- phia hurt his hand in his last vic tory, Sergt. Wilson has been called in at the last minute to show his stuff againset a middleweight oppo- nent, rugged Jacob Lamotta of the Bronx.
 Two Reasons
 Jacobs and his matchmaker, Nat Rogers. picked middleweight La- motta as Wilson's first Garden op- ponent for two quite apparent rea- sons. CD Lamotta gave Robinson a hard fight for 10 rounds, although he lost the decision, and if he makes welterweight Wilson look like a monkey, Wilson and Melrose will be forced to cease their press campaign and CD if Wilson happens to show more impressively against Lamotta than did Robinson, Messrs. Jacobs and Rogers will have great draw ing card made to order despite their reluctance to let him perform in the Garden.
 In this latter connection, one must realize that both Jacobs and Rogers regard Robinson the un- beaten Harlem Negro, as a sort of sacred COW" because he is home
The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-01-14

town drawing care and a great all- round fighter.
 Sergt. Wilson has accepted this Garden chance gladly although he knows that the percentage is against him. Larnotta will outweigh Will son at least 10 pounds-probably 157 to I45. Lamotta also is a better fighter today than when he met Robinson last october, because of additional experience that included two victories over formidable Jim my Edgar.
 Big Chance
 Moreover Wilson, because of his Army duties and his 4S-hour train ing restriction, cannot hope to be as sharp as was civilian Robinson when he had his gruelling battle with Lamotta. But Wilson and Manager Melrose are gambling on their belief that Sergt. Jackie has more natural fighting ability than Robinson, and they are taking ad- vantage of tomorrow nights Gar den opportunity to prove it.
 Wilson, a terrific puncher, who has registered 32 knockouts in 5S professional bouts, is confident that he can tag Lamotta with his first kayo. He gures he can stop the heavier human freight car" He believes he is in good shape despite his Army duties because in three bouts since coming to Mitchell Field he knocked out Bernie Miller in eight; outpcinted dangerous Cocoa Kid in 10, nd belted out Frankie Saia in two.
 We hope Wilson can register a kayo over Lamotta, because it will he a fine weather in the sergeant's cap-a feat that Young Robinson couldn't accomplish. But we empha. size that the percentage is all aOainSt it.

Form National Association of OId-Timers; Organiza. tiOn RekindIes Veterans Interest, Aids Con-
 tinuanCe and Building of Baseball
By HARRY CRIMSON NEA Service Sports Editor

New York, Jan. 14-Ray Dumont, who is full of them, bohs up with another first-rate baseball idea.
 President Dumont's National Semi Pro Congress is organizing groups of old-timers into National Association.
 Veterans always have been neg lected by organized baseball.
 Famous names are permitted to be forgotten, insofar as baseball is concerned.
 Babe Ruth is striking example. Surely there should be place in 1t for man who did so much for the sport. The Bam is now selling War Bonds and Stamps in personal ap- pearanceS at a chain of New York movie theaters, by the way.
 For years there have been Old Time Associations in every part of the country. All they lacked was something to do. Dumont plans to them this, and baseball will benefit as the result.
 Talk creates interest in baseball, and who can speak of it more enter tainingly than someone who played it superlatively? The National Semi Pro Congress urges the veterans to help organize sandlot leagues, estab- fish district tournaments.
 Fans as well as former players are eligible. Dumont, who pioneered na- tional associations of semi-profes- nf0saaH laao,sae ..Y,asairae and coArarc contends his late brain child is by far the best, wonders why someone didn't think of it sooner.
 Each group will be issued a char ter at no charge. Each will adopt its own minimum age limit. but it can not be lower than 40. The National Association will furnish membership cards to individuals.
 Timely bulletins, containing in- structIons as to what they can do to hop up the game in their sections. will be sent them by the national of- flee.
 Each group will have its Hall of of Fame. Three men who have made names for themselves in base ball in that particularly territory will be selected annually by each asso- ciatlon.
 The National Association expects to issue 500 charters in i943, each state. county or city-wide in scope.
 The National Association of Old Timers will help those who haven't been active in sports for a couple of decades to play parts in the eontinu- arce and building of baseball. The fact that the association viii re- kIndle the flame of veterans is as fine a recommendation for it as anything else.
 There will be more to do around the hot stove than spin worn-out baseball yarns.
