Connecticut Heavy
To Battle Biuins
If Match Is Made

NEW YORK, Oct. q. - tR -
Lee @. Murray, the towering Con-
necticut heavyweight who has
been hollering for two months for
a shot at Jimmy Bivins, disclosed
today that he finally has the
match-but he doesn't have Bivins.
Murray's manager, Tex Sulli-
van, revealed that three weeks ago,
he signed for the bout to take
place in Cleveland November 10.
However, Sullivan and he receiv-
ed wire from Cleveland Promoter
Larry Atkins today advising him
that 'Bivins' draft board order
ed him to remain in essential work
at this time and will not permit
him to box, but will consent to a
later date"
The bout probably would be the
top heavyweight offerings of the
season if it could be arranged,
with Murray sporting a string of
IA straight victories and Bivins
ranked as the best better now ac-
i've among the big boys. Murray,
vho started out his boxing career
as protege Of a radio comedian
snd now is serious about it, knock

BLUE DEVILS SET
FOR TECH BATTLE
Entire Duke Teams Sees
Navy Defeat Golden
Tornado Eleven

DURHAM, Oct. d. R The
Duke coaching staff travelled to
Baltimore en- nasse last weekend
to watch Georgia Tech run wild
against the Navy Middies and the
journey is now being used for the
Duke defense foundation as h e
Blue Devils 60 about their bust
ness of preparing for the onslaught
of the Golden Tornado on Atlanta S
Grant field this Saturday after
noon.
Using large part Of the after
noon to set up defenses for the
deceptive Georgia Tech attack,
Coach Eddie Cameron greeted a
few more of his furloughing grid
ders in today's session and i'm
mediately put them to work along
with the 2O-odd men who reported
on Tuesday.
Running through a dummy
scrimmage, Cameron impressed
upon the Durham Dukes that the
charges of cunning Bill Alexander
played brand of football that
was hard to beat as they held of
the powerful Middle eleven o r
three-quarters before finally being
subdued.
The Blue Devil mentor knows
that the willy Georgia Tech coach
has more tricks up his sleeve than
a first-class magician for the Dukes
have never had the going easy
when they have faced the Atlanta
eleven.
Not knowing for sure whether
the seniors on the squad will be
able to play against the Yellow
Jackets, Cameron is at his wits
end trying to evolve a set of plays
for the nebulous group of gridders.
Some of them may be available
up until Friday and then get their
orders to move out Immediately.
If all the seniors are ordered to
report to another base before Sat-
urday, he will have only handful
of men left from the varsity squad.

But, Newton added:
'The Tar Heels still have last

good enough to beat our fresh

After these fluctuations, Newton

few new ones.
Newton said that lick, starting

Notre Danes Gridiron Work
Gives Mentor Much Pleasure

SOUTH BEND, Ind, Oct. 27.-P
Admittedly Frank Leahy has some
good reasons for his continuing and
growing pessimism over his great
Notre Dame football team, includ-
ing the many problems of keeping
the team at high pitch week after
week. But as Athletic Director
Doug Mills of Illinois says, they're
the kind of problems any coach
would enjoy having every season.
One of the best reasons the irish

year-olds, became eligible for the
special by winning the Arlington
classic. He had been regarded an
unlikely starter, and Wilhelm's de.
cision came as surprise to track
officials.
Thumbs Up, the Louis B. Mayer
son of Blenheim II, was declared
out of the race today by Trainer
c. A. "Slim" Roles.
Thumbs Up suffered cut fore
leg while being pulled up after an
impressive victory in the Havre
de Grace handicap here October
16. and bad weather retarded his
return to form.
Greentree stables Shut Out, the
other principal candidate for the
special, worked out on the muddy
strip between races today.
He went the mile in 1:41 as
mile and one-eighth in 1:55 and
a mile and quarter in 2:09 eased
up.
Other probable starters in the
mile and three-sixteenths test are

last Saturday when he romped
home ahead of Son Of Peace and
Shut Out in the Washington han

Fairy Manhurst will be entered
in both the special and the ex-
terminator handicap, also to be
run Saturday, and the final de-
cision regarding him is not ex-
pected before the morning of the
race.
Eurasian, which became eligible
for the special through his victory
in the Travers, will also be shipped

working partnership, it is an in
flammable thing to say that we
are contemplating turning tn
working partnership into an ex
elusive alliance. 1t can only in
flame jealousy and suspicion by
the circulation of what is in fact
plain, unvarnished untruth.
The mischief of such reckless
talk is that if it goes undenied
many will believe it. If it is de-
MED, refuted and denounced, it is
advertised and treated more serl-
ously than it deserves.
1t IS, however, easy to prove be-
yond the shadow of doubt thai
there cannot possibly be any truth
in Governor Landon's charge and
that he has invented it withou,
any evidence whatever. Every Of
fetal statement from British and
American sources has contem
plated an eventual world organi'
cation, emerging from theh grand
alliance of the United Nations
within which Britain, Russia,
China and the United States would
be the principal guarantors Of
peace. There have been and there
are some differences of opinion as
to the responsibility which various
other nations are able to discharge
what, for example, is to be the
original role of France; whether
China can assume responsibility
outside of eastern Asia and the
western Pacific.
But no one has ever proposed to
exclude Russia. On the contrary
it is the settled conviction in Lon
don and Washington that the in
clusion of Russia is indispensable
to any hope of order and peace.
If any one were proposing to ex.
clude Russia, would MIR. E d G n,

cow-would Mr.. Churchill and Mr.,
Roosevelt be waiting for the agree
ment to 60 halfway around the
world to meet Mr.. Stain? How
then dare any one speak OF pro-
posed exclusive British-Americar
alliance when the whole effort Of
our diplomacy for more than a
wear has been to achieve an In
elusive alliance?
Governor Landon seems never
to have heard of, and certainly
never to have read, the Anglo
Soviet treaty signed May rs, 1912
with our approval. In that treaty
as Mr.. Molotov explained, Part II
provides for the collaboration o.
(! Britain and Russia with Other
United Nations in the peace settle
ment and in the postwar period
So the fact is that while Governor
Landon talks about an exclusive
British American alliance, the
British already have a 20-year al

I with the United Nations.

slderlng him. OF course,
knowing my opinion of him,
he would have got the idea.
Question - What problems con-
fronted you in the rehiring of Du-
rocher?
Mr.. Rickey-A year ago it was
the gambling question. Not intra.
club gambling, but association with
professional gamblers. Few pro.
fessional gamblers, in my judg-
ment, are honest. I have the word
of Durocher, the coaches, the
trainer and others that there was
not racing paper in the club
house all year. This year the con-
troll Of the players was the thing
that confronted us all.
Question-How about pari.mu-
fuels?
Mr.. Rickey-Pari-mutuels! What
are they? Where a mans legs
take him is not important. It =
what is in his mind. It is excess
in anything that are bad. l don't
want to bring up the gambling
question. 1t is dead. Leo has done
a full job of it.
Questionable Durocher take q
salary cut?
Mr.. Rickey-I don't want to ans.
wer that. I've never been cheap,
either in St. Louis or here. My
theory is that a man will do bet
ter who is hungry for money than
one who is satisfied. The two mer
with the exception Of Frisch who
got the most money on the Cardi-
nails when I was there never ap.
preached me about salary. No,
Dean wasn't one Of them. Haines
was one. Salary is incidental.
Question-Do you think the trou.
BILE on the club traces farther
back than the Bobo Newsom in
cident?
Mr.. Rickey-Yes, I sensed trou-
BILE before that, but was not real
ly conscious Of it until the New
som affair. I think Durocher was
largely to blame. Under stress
he's temperamenta1, emotional. He
was needed to death for weeks.
Just suppose am a manager,
and you are the players. I tell a
pitcher never to throw a fast ball
higher than the waist to a GER
tain batter. Another pitcher speaks
up and says: II throw high fast
balls to him and never have any
trouble" You can see what eff
feet that will have on your au-
thority. And that happened on this
club-plenty.
Question-Do you think Leo can
regain control of his players?
Mr.. Rickey-I knew somebody
would ask that. I'm terribly hope
full he can. I'm not ready to admit
he can't change. I think he's for
the players, and likes them. Il
think he wants to do a good job,
and was hurt the past season by
the lack of confidence and sup
port of his players and felt he
had made some mistakes with
the press.
Question-What did you think of
the world series?
Mr.. Rickey-I think it was a
most terribly disappointing series.
think st. Louis came as far
from being the club it was dur
ing the season as it possibly could.
The pitching was good. Other
wise, the players weren't playing
up to standard, and that goes all
down the line.
