Junior Tennis Is to Be Backed
Heavily During Year by MAA

Continuing senior play as much

juniors will be tennis goal this year,
Lawrence Baker, first vice president
of the USLTA told delegates to the
Middle Atlantic Associations an
nual meeting yesterday at the Uni

Urging the association to sponsor
tournaments in communities where
they would not involve needless
travel. Baker pointed out that the
national body has scheduled all ma
jor competitions for 1943 in the
hope that war developments will
permit execution of these plans.
A sufficient supply of tennis balls
will be available to keep the game
going, even if on a curtailed basis.
A steady loss of manpoWer may
drain the pool Of senior players, but
there will be enough youngsters on
hand to keep tennis alive.

Hickey Calls Di Mag
Greatest He's Seen
Cites Throwing, Fielding.
Hitting Of Soldier Joe
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES. Feb. 27.-The
greatest all-around player in base
ball, says Branch Hickey. is Joseph
P Di Maggie of the New York Yam
KEGS and the United States Army.
That's high praise, coming as it
does to an American Lacquer from
an eminent National League man.
Hickey really warmed up to his
subject as he asked questions and
answered them himself. Who can
outthrow Joe?' he queried. Who
can outheld him? Who outhit him,
consistently and for distance? Why,
nobody I ever saw Some players
excelled Di Maggie in some depart
ments of the game None, within
my recollection. and it goes back
quite while, was better in all de-
partments.
"On any one day, against the
same pitching, with the same ball,
in the same park and under iden-
teal conditions, Di Maggie would
outperform the best in my memory
Only in base stealing, said Hickey,
is Di Maggie inferior to some of
the stars of yesterday.

Tigers Having Easier
Job Signing Players
Than Last Season
Report rs Are in Line;
Salary Levels Seen as
Some as in 1912
BY WATSON SPOELSTRA,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

DETROIT, Feb. 27-The Detroit
Tigers, whose stubborn holdout bat
ties of 1912 led to the sale of world
series battery, lifted their usually
heavy cloak of secrecy on salary
matters to announce today that ap-
proximately IS players had signed
1943 contracts.
The club said nothing about the
remaining seven or eight players
but spokesman made it clear that
no holdouts were expected. Those
still unsigned were said to be largely
veterans, who presumably are with
holding their signatures until they
have had final word with the
front office.
Slashes Caused Trouble.
Salary affairs were far from serene
at Briggs Stadium year ago, when
the Tigers slaShed their 1941 payroll,
repeatedly one of the largest on rec
ord. The Detroit players practically
without exception received fat raises
after the 1910 world series and the
Well-pald club finished no better
than tie for fourth place in the
American League the following
year.
Tiger holdouts a year ago were
notably Buck Newson, Billy Sulli-
van, Rudy York and Johnny Cor
sica. Newsom and Sullivan even
tually were sold, while York and
Corsica finally entered the fold at
the clubs terms.
For l943 the Tigers are believed
to have maintained 1912 salary lev
els, with York's $4,000 probably the
top figure. Tommy Bridges and
Plnky Higgins also are in the higher
pay brackets.
Have 20 in Service.
With 20 stars on their service flag
the Tigers are commencing to feel

Manager Jack zeller's latest ac-

Associated Press SPORTS Writer

NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-A young
stranger is coming into the National
Leagues little family of executives
next week and everybody is agog In
anticipation.
The newcomer is 33-year-old Will
liam Drought Cox, who will become
the baby president among big
league magnates when his syndicate
takes control of the Philadelphia
Phils on Wednesday.
His arrival in baseball has come so
swiftly that few Of the other club
owners know much about him. When
the league met here earlier this
month Ford Prick. president of the
senior circuit, kept Cox under cover
in midtown hotel while the league
voted a new deal for the Pills.
Then, after the meeting, Prick
introduced the club owners to Cox.
Except for that hasty handshaking,
even the inner circle of the major
leagues knows little more about Bill
Cox than the average newspaper
reader, who has seen him described
repeatedly in recent days as a
wealthy lumberman" and young
New York sportsman"
These generalities cover a lot Of
ground, and they are more or less
true, but they scarcely cover Cox, a
man of many facets in business,
sports and art.
Successful Yale Alumnus.
Cox is a big, round faced fellow
with dimensions of approximately 6
feet by 200 pounds. He has dark
hair and arrogant eyes and the
whole effect of his appearance is
that Of a polished Yale alumnus
busily and successfully carving a
niche in the world for himself
This is exactly what Cox has been
doing ever since he left Yale about
IA years ago. Upon his return to
New York, his home town, he en-
tered the banking business, switched
to bonds, and then to lumber and
pilings.
He made a hobby of etchings and
Autographs, published two or three
books on that subject and some on
other subjects, and still kept search
ing for fields to commencement
tually arriving in sports with a race

race horse, Gust to have some fun"
The horse is 5-year-old gelding
named Maezcala," he said. Hes
just an ordinary horse, although his
feelings probably would be hurt to
hear me talking like this about him
He's won couple of races. Right
now he's out at the Jamaica race
track where a man named Wessler
trains him"
1t also was little less than two
years ago that Cox bought his foot
ball club, the New York franchise in
the American Pro League. Even
though he devoted a great deal of
effort and money to the enterprise
Turing John Kimbrough and Tom
Harmon into his fold. the football
venture was far from a success and
alter one season the league sus-
pended for the duration.
Baseball Is Real Love.
Il took the football club because
believed there was room for two
professional leagues and 1 still
think there is. If the American
League resumes after the war I will
have club in it representing New
York"
Cox's real love, though, Is baseball
AS youngster growing up on Riv-
erslde drive he became a great far
of the New York Giants and an ar
dent disciple of John McGraw. He
also became a schoolboy catcher al
La Sale Academy and at the age
OF 10 a backstop on New York Uni
versltys freshman baseball team.
The next year he entered Yale
and this participation in athletics
at N Y. U. prevented him from
trying for the Eli varsity because
OF Yales transfer rules.
In the years that followed he mar
ried and became the father of two
children. His yen for baseball came
to the surface again about three
months ago when he read a news
paper story that the National League
intended to force a sale of the Phils
He went to see Prick to find out
what chance he had of getting the
club. He sought help from his foot
ball associates and from that day
till he signed a memorandum for
purchase last Saturday he was one
of the principal bidders, although his
name never was connected publicly
with the Phils till the final stage of
negotiations.
Club No Rich Mans Toy.
To him the club is no rich mans
toy; he is going to give it his COM
plete attention for several months
Il have a good organization here
Gin the lumber and piling Office, =
he said, land it will take care of
itself while I get things running in
Philadelphia, I intend to stay close
to the ball club at least until after
we make our first Western trip.
Il haven't any special policy in
mind. I'm going to take things as
they come. l don't expect to sell
or trade any players till we have
had a chance to look them over in
spring training
Cox said he has no intention of
naming an experienced baseball
man as general manager to oversee
the club, "at least not for the
present"
I'm going to run it myself. My
manager tBucky Harris> will advise
me on baseball problems. I think
we will have good ball club and
will surprise lot of people. Watch
and see"
