 AS WAR RACES Diamond Dope Given 0ut- Here Is Something
 About Louis, To
By DILLON GRAHAM AP Features Sports Editor

NEW YORK-This war is going to add a few more years to the playing careers of some of base balls major leaue oldtimers. The caliber of play will decrease just enough to meet their own decreas- ing ability.
 And that means old John Cooney the sprightly veteran, probably will be around the majors for several more years. Owner Bob Quinn oi the Braves gave Cooney and Paul Waner their unconditional release the other day in a surprise move but it is almost certain that some big league club will grab them.
 Ted Lyons, the White Sox chun- ker, was perhaps baseball's oldest major league regular last year but the 42-year-old pitcher is now in the marines and the most ancient title goes to Cooney.
 Cooney will be 42 in March, and he has been in the National league since 1921, except for five year stretch in the American association in the early 193os. Brooklyn fig ured the old boy still had some life in him and brought him back and in 1898 he went to Boston. He was good enough two years ago tc author the second highest batting average in the league, only Pete Reiser of the Dodgers compiling a better average.
 Johnny was a pitcher until he had 13 chips of bone removed from his elbow and since then he has been a flychaser He has been in baseball g years and he attributes his long career to good clean living He doesn't smoke or drink and he conserves his legs.

The Waners, Paul and Lloyd, at 40 and 37, are the other veterans who might be on the way out ex- cept for the unusual wartime con- ditions. Other oldtimers include Dick Bartell, Dolph Camilli, Roger Cramer, Bill Dickey, Rick Terrell Jimmy Foxx, Ival Goodman, Rollie Hemsley, Billy Herman, Bob John- son, Bill Jurges, Joe Kuhel, Gus Mancuso, Johnny Allen, Walter Beck, Tommy Bridges, Paul Der ringer, Curt Davis, Carl Hubbell Thornton Lee, John Niggeling, Bill Lee, Vance Page, and Jim Turner. There's certainly no one in sight right now who figures to beat Joe Louis, but by the time the heavy weight champion returns to the Ing after the wars end, some young fellow may take his measure.
 And if that's the case, it probab- ly will be chap who couldn't have gone half dozen rounds with Joe at his peak. It probably will be more of case of Louis slipping than of another superman arriving on the scene.
 Boxing history shows that heavy- weights can't enjoy a long layoff and return as good fighting man. James J. Jeffries retired as the un- defeated king, retired largely be- cause there was no one left for him to beat. But, when Jeff was per- suaded to fight again against young Jack Johnson, he didn't have it.
 There was three-year lay-off between Jack Dempsey's title fight with Firpo and his first match with Gene Tunney. And it left Jack ring rusty. He was beaten.
 It has been almost a year now since Louis knocked out Abe Simon in his last battle and it likely will be another two years at the earliest before he enters the ring again.

for the old broken records to pro-
vide the material for new records
to case the loneliness of the boys at
the distant outposts. Records will
be harder TO get this time perhaps,
