Beau Jack, Georgia Negro who Is
recognized as the lightweight cham
pion, is scheduled to step out of his
weight class in two directions with
in the next month or SO.
On February 5, which is next
Friday, he is supposed to fight the
veteran Fritzie Zivic, once Welter-
weight champion. Jack will go into
the ring at about 1856, a pound over
the lightweight limit, while zivic
is expected to weigh in at about
las.
Fritzie is cagy fighter and may
give the Whirlwind puncher from
the deep south a more than inter-
esting evening.
A month later, on March 5, Jack
is expected to climb through the
ropes to face Willie Pep, current
king of the featherweights and
whom many claim to be one Of the
best little men of all time.
Pep will scale approximately 1877
pounds, which is pound over the

An appeal for athletic equipment
was sent out Wednesday by soldiers
of Camp Seeley.
Every type of equipment with the
possible exception of ice hockey
duffle, would be greatly appreciat-
ed by the boys in uniform in I'M
perial Valley. Old baseball gloves,
balls and sundry other parapherna-
liza would find considerable use at
the Army camp, commanding Off

Any equipment donated in Ell

to Seelcy.

SPORTS PARADE
The Baseball Question

actually applies to major league
players who are contributing to the
public morale.
Moreover, this question of morale
and the men who contribute to it
is a matter of degree-of intensity.
When will the fine point be reach
cd when it's more necessary for
ball players to shoulder guns or
help in defense factories than to
contribute to the public morale on
the diamond?
McNutt and his man are in far
better position to determine that
point than anyone connected with
the sport. So, we'll leave it to them
without trying hooper -dooper sales
manship, which would irritate
everyone connected with the game,
anyway.

COULD CLAIM TITLE

If Pep should beat Jack" Phclan
said, Pep could claim Jacks title
in states outside of New York How
ever the commission would sane
ton a match if Jack would come
into the ring under a 140-pound
contract, guaranteeing that he would
scale over 1875 pounds"
Pep and his Manager Lou Viscusi
objected strenuously, claiming it
would handicap the Hartford, Conn,
featherWeight champion.
Pep, who fights around 127la
then would be spotting Jack at
least nine pounds" Viscusi said,
and perhaps even more instead of
only about five"
Chick WergeleS, manager of Jack,
offered to guarantee Pep a title
fight within 60 days after March 5,
in case the Connecticut boy should
triumph, if Pep would accept the
l40-pound contract.

HARD TO EXPLAIN

Il don't know whether l can cX-
plain it so you'll understand or
not" said Greenberg
It's just that I'm SO interested
in this physical fitness program
that I haven't had time to talk
baseball or even think aboIt it. I
couldn't tell you right now if 1 had
to what some Of these latest SWITCH
eS and deals have been.
Greenberg says he's bearing down
on this job harder than he had to
in baseball.
I've faced a lot of expert curves
thrown by expert pitchers but fit
ting physical fitness program into
a geared-up armY is a tougher job
than facing Red Ruffing in the
warm summer sun of Yankee Stad-
ium.
Hank explained the army is so
busy turning out men TO pump the
AXIS powers out OF the skies it's
difficult to sandwich in any special
physical training.
In a way they've got the right
idea. If the boys can stand the gaff
of a strenuous. gruelling training
grind then we'll just have to as
sumo they are ready, physically, for
whatever they'll meet later.
But, said the lieutenant, those
BOYS can fight just that much hard
er and react that much quicker il
they are at top condition.
And with that he raced back to
his duties, cap yanked down over
his nose the same way he settled
his baseball cap on the field.
BY the way" he said, IF I see
that fellow Hank Greenberg Ill
bring him over-even if We aren't

BY JACK CUDDY

NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-(UPp-
This is our chance to reward our
readers with a high-powered COL
umn which would answer the $64
question: What's to become of
baseball AFTER the wOrk-o fight
edict goes into effect on April l?
Well tell you this: the major
leagues will have their training
season in the north. Then the reg
ular championship season will open.
Whether this season will be COM
pleted Cor all clubs we do not
know, but well bet that it goes
to the halfway mark on July A.
You might expect us to move
into Washington with a brief for
the game of baseball And we'd
love to do it. Because we know
that this sport, above all Others
merits official consideration. But
if We did, it would be a mistake
in judgment. 1t would be an at
tempt to put Manpower Commits
sioner Paul V. McNutt and his
assistants directly on the spot.
Which would be stupid maneuver-
ing.
NOT CLASSIFIED
Our Interpretation of the work
Cr-fight edict, despite which the
major leagues seem determined to
carry on, is that fortunately the
game of major league baseball
hasn't been classified yet in the
W-deferablc bracket We stress
the sanity of this Interpretation.
And we hope that no definite clas-
sification Of baseball players will
be made until the season is at
least half over.
We know we will be criticized
roundly for this attitude. Thou
sands of baseball fans throughout
the nation hope that someone will
take the case of baseball to Wash
ington and present it in its proper
light as an aid to the national
morale.
But we wouldn't do it And we
hope that no one else attempts it.
Because we know that baseball
down through the years-has made
its own plea. The game has pro-
yided American with the cleaneSt
paStime in sports history. Moreover,
in its current form, it commands
more newspaper and radio space
during its season than any other
American industry.
GAVE GREEN LIGHT
We recall that last year PreSi-
dent Roosevelt gave the green light
to baseball. He turned on the
emerald bulb, we figure, because he
believed that major league base
ball had certain value in morale
TO our War-bCrdened nation.
At that time, President RooSe-
Velt gave no indication that he was
giving the green light only for the
1912 season. That may have been
the Presidents intention, but we
doubt it. If it were. Mr.. Roosevelt,
who enjoys an enviable command
of language, would have set quite
definite boundaries on the length
of time the green light should
glow.
President Roosevelt, or anyone
else concerned, never looked upon
major league baseball as an essen
tial industry. Everyone knows it's
not. But unquestionably the game
holsters the national morale, not
only in the United States, but also
on the far-flUng fronts where our
lads love to get the scores.
MATTER o FMORALE
In other words, the big question
Of the continuance of major base
ball is entirely matter of morale.
It's a matter of balance between
the ruling that ga men must work
Or fight, and whether that ruling
