League Hockey
 Faces Bad Season

Ottawa, August 20. - (UP) - Ma tional Hockey League officials to- day faced the prospect of playing the 1943-44 season with young boys, old men" or youths who have been rejected as unfit for military service.
 That was the picture painted yes- terday by National Selective Service Director Arthur McNamara after MIL officials had pleaded with him that hockey was a morale builder and therefore essential.
 MacNamara told the group to ob- tain players younger than IS 1-2 years, married men who have passed their 20th birthday, or single men who have passed the 40-year mark. No man who is eligible for military service will be permitted to play, he said.
 MacNamara said that hockey off, cialS would have to obtain similar concessions from United States man. power officials before they could be- gin in Canada.

By HARRY CRIMSON NEA Sports Editor

New York-Squatty Phil Terra nova winning 8 claim to the feather weight championship by knocking out Jackie Callura in the eighth round down in dear old New Or leans is striking commentary on how loosely the National Boxing As- sociation losses around synthetic titles.
 The five-foot, 2oot-suited Terra nova, a champion is as funny as 8 plug named Eurasian winning the historic Travers Stakes at the Sara toga meeting at Belmont.
 With Count Fleet and Blue Swords on the sidelines, the 3-year-old di- vision is almost as bad off as most boxing classes.
 To those who sat in Madison Square Garden early in June and saw the ancient and honorable Chalky Wright enjoy sub-novice night before knocking out the mis- matched Terranova in the firth it is hard to conceive the weeping young ster who left the ring that night as champion.
 But then who was Ontario's Cal lura or Pittsburgh Jackie Wilson, whom he twice defeated for N. B. A. recognition?
 Bobby Gleason, an old Bronx boy, did something smart when he carted his sawed-off Terranova and his re- pleat to Hartford to knock out cal- 1ura in round the first time.
 That y,Irt hic Ei6jc rotpa hanLy nn the sports pages and now he can claim a title.
 New York really suspected it had something in the way of feather weight champion when Willie Pep came down from Hartford to knock out Callura in a round the first time.
 Pep acquired his version of the crown by running away from Wright, however, and refused to give the Mexican-born veteran another chance. Then Sammy Angott caught up with Pep following a protracted layoff, following which Old Man Hennery Armstrong all but f1attened Angott.
 That was the tipoff.
 The dodgo has gone way pack, which is as it should be under the circumstances.
 The good fighters are where they belong.
 We'll have to wait until the war Is won to see them.
 Those Swedes will hit that 4-min- ute mile as sure as the Cardinals are going to repeat.
 Arne Anderson broke the finest of Gunder Hagg's six remaining rec ords when he rifled through 1900 meters in minutes and 45 seconds in oothenburg to wipe all of eight tenths es 6 second of the mark the Gaevle dazelle established year ago.
 That is the equivalent of q little vorse than . l:02 mile.

Reymond SoftboII I Classic Saturday

The Reymond Bros. Bakers are going to fight it out again tomorrow morning at 9:30 at Hamilton Park
 The battle will be softball game between the Married Men and the Single Men. This game is the second of series of which the Married Men won first blood at the Bakers annual outing. Not being satisfied with the re- suits of the first game and claiming extenuating circumstances, the Single Men feel that they can put it all over the Benedicts, notwith- standing the fact that Pete 'Bron- cho Buster Guglieamo is back in shape after convalescing for a week. Pete, you know, injured his shoulder while taking bow for his per- formance at a Rodeo exhibition at the bake.
 This game should be a thriller as both teams are enthused over the fact that Adolph Raymond promises the winner a chance at his Rey- mond Hillies.
 Chef dor Chiarella will umpire and if he calls them as he cooks 'em, why the close ones won't count at all. Nevertheless the Chef has asked the Supt. of Police to place Johnny Spadero of the motor patrol as his body guard-he1l feel safer.
 The famous Rotella battery will take over for the Benedicts and A. LaPorta, c. MacKay for the Single lads.
 The Single lads say they will have the girls for their cheering squad and should put pep into their play; while the Married Men will depend on the refreshments. All things being equal this game should prove 8 hummer The Lineup

(Reg. U. s. Pat. Of.) By JACK CUDDY

United Press Staff Correspondent)
 New York, Aug. 20-(UP)-The Chicago Cubs once painted section of the Wrigley field bleachers a seal brown to sharpen Bill Nicholsons batting eye-not knowing that big Bill is color blind.
 Neither that elaborate misappli- cation of pigment nor the 1940 slump that inspired it perturbed the soft-spoken Maryland farmer. In fact, none of the games vexations ever swerved the brawny outf1elder from his even tenor-until the ad- vent of the dead ball early this season.
 Though Nicholson now leads the majors in runs batted in, 90, and tops the National league in homers, 18,he still holds a mental wake whenever he thinks of thel ifeless pellet. It proved such handicap to the Cubs cleanup hitter during its few weeks of use that he felt sure he was the man for whom the bell was about to toll.
 He said last night: T thought that soggy thing was going to plant me right back on my farm. It spoiled my days and my nights. l just couldn't get going. Even after they tossed 1t into the ash can, it took me a while to get back in form. Why-I didn't hit my first home run until May 30.'
 On May 27th, the Cubs cleanup hitter and "best player" had driven in only 10 runs in 122 trips to the plate, and the club was houndering in last place. His batting improve ment since then has been partially responsible for Chicagos rise to fifth place and their current ambitions of joining the other three western clubs in the first divisional the expense of the Dodgers.
 Although the Cubs were tempo rarily stymied in their pursuit of the Dodgers by yesterdays 9-2 de- outu his 18th homer, with mate feat at Brooklyn, Nicholson drove aboard, bringing his runs-batted-in total to 90. This total-better by six than that of his nearest major league rival, Nick Etten of the Yanks-reflects the effectiveness of Nicholson's wand work more vividly than his batting average of BOA.
 Chatting at his hotel last night, brown-haired Bill said the pitcher who cuased him most trouble this season was Max Lanier, St. Louis southpaw. Bill, a left-handed hit ter, said: T guess it's Lanier's short arms that bother me. I can't rate the speed of his pitch like can on most long-armed fellows" Nicholson surprised by saying he didn't have nearly as much difficulty in connecting with the parachute pitch" made famous by the Pirates Rip Sewell. He added wryly, how ever: T can hit Sewell's pitches, but I can't hit 'em square. All I can get off him is singles"
 The Maryland mace-wielder might have been an officer in the Navy now were it not for his color blindness. After finishing high school at Chestertown, Md, nine years ago, he had an appointment to the naval academy at Annapolis. But the examining physicians said "ixnay" when his eyes couldn't distinguish red from green.
 T may be color blind," Nicholson concluded, "but I certainly saw red when they brought in that dead ball this spring"
