Francis, Ring Foe Of Pep 'ReveoIed'

Hartford. March 31. Who is Leo Francis, Panama lightweight facing Willie Pep in the feature bout of the Red Cross boxing show at the Auditorium Tuesday night?
 That's a question encountered about the state ever since the an- nouncement was made that Francis had been selected as Pep's opponent in his first fight in ten months.
 For one thing, Francis is no Set- up. He's been fighting on and off for about seven years. He started as a flyweight and wound up in the lightweight division in three years.
 Barber
 Quitting for a time to return to this barbering trade, he soon tired of that and returned to boxing again last year. His return was little short of sensational. He staged a rousing draw with Mike Gonzales. two more draws with hard hitting Charley Smith, and draw with Bobby Gunther that stole the show.
 Madison Square Garden was his next step, where he dropped a de- ciSion to Johnny Dudley and whip ped Gonzales in a thrilling rematch. In one of four Garden bouts the past six weeks he dropped split decision to Vince DellOrto.
 Francis gave Ike Williams. light weight title contender, fight in Trenton recently. and only last Mon day gave Mike Della of Los Angeles a good battle in Holyoke, but lost the nod.
 An upset victory for Francis would of course mean much to him. and may lead to a title shot. Which is why he took the match.

u. s. RUBBER AND. CHASE TEAMS.
 CLASH TONIGHT.

Despite the fact that Chase Brass and Copper holds two wins over U. s. Rubber in three encounters this season in Dusty League competi- ton, the Magner-Brennan aggre- gation are underdogs in tonight's 8:30 session at the Central "Y''.
 Tonight's winner will enter the Semi-f final round of the State Dusty tournament Sunday afternoon at the "Y" surface, as Waterbury drew bye in the quarter finals slated for tomorrow night.
 IRA officials are making plans for another bumper crowd to attend this evenings battle. More than l. 200 witnessed Rubber take Brass by a 47-35 margin Wednesday to cop the second round and earn a play off spot with Chase.
 A glance at the Chase Rubber records for the 1943-44 slate shows Chase winning by a 37-26 tally on December 19 with Bob McDermott scoring 12, Pomponio eight and Traver six to spark the attack while Wojack gathered 10, Rhoads nine and Mahan six for Rubber.
 In the second game, Rubber turn ed in a 40-28 victory on February g with Rhoads collecting 12, Far rar 10 and Wojack 10 to lead the borough drive. Traver's Il and Mo Dermott's seven topped the Chase scoring.
 However, on March l2 Chase broke Six-game losing streak in the second round by nosing out Rubber 49-45 as McDermott, Bob Greatorex, Jack Traver and Gene Sweeney stood out for the Wagner forces. RhoadS and Farrar, with 16 and 15 points, respectively. featured for the KedS combine.
 Comparison
 Rubber won the second round with 8 mark of eight wins in 10 games while Chase scored but two victories in 10 outings. Thus, on the record Rubber deserves the fav- orite'S role tonight.
 Wagner may revamp his lineup for this evenings game, according to reports from the Chase camp. There is possibility he may use Bobby Greatorex against the Rub- bermen. Greatorex Sparked Chase to it's last win over the borough Quin- tet, turning in a spectacular per- formance in the rear court and throwing in nine points.
 Jackie Traver, Bob McDermott and Henry Koch appear to be cer- tain starters for Chase while Bub- bles Balinsky and Bernie Garrick may stand pat on the Rubber line up which won over Brass WedneS- day night by a 47-35 score.
 With the rival managers and coaches agreeing on tonight's clash to be one of the regular Dusty League playoh games. another ban her crowd is expected to see the cage classic at the Central "Y".
 Outside" Officials
 Charley Petrino, of Bridgeport. and Milt Schroeder of Milford were named last night by both U. S. Rubber and Chase managers and coaches as the officials to handle tonight's championship clash. Both are we'll known here, Petrino hav- ing worked a recent Brass Rubber game while Schroeder is a former International baseball league um- pire and 8 member of the Football Officials Association of Connecticut.

BoseboII Players Register Saturday

Wichita. Kan.-An increase in the number of sandlot baseball clubs for the coming season is predicted by the National Baseball Congress.
 Results, however, will not be known until after Saturday - Ma tion- wide Baseball Registration Day at which time any boy or man who desires to play baseball will register at any sporting goods stores or department throughout the United States and Canada.
 The lists will then be available to the governing bodies of baseball in each section-junior, amateur and semi-profesSional.
 We are expecting from 75O.OOO to one million males to register to play baseball" Dumont said. Then a nation wide campaigl- will start to stimulate more teams among civic clubs, business and industrial firms-so that the youth of Ameri- ca can play the game during this war period.
 The 1914 National Semi-Pro Base ball Guide, now available at sport ing goods stores. shows how baseball benefited last season from this reg istration plan.

 Chicago, March S1.-(UP)-Be- sieged by holdout trouble. draft inroadS and players remaining in war plants, the always a brides maid" Cleveland Indians still have hopes this season of capturing their first pennant since 1920.
 Manager Lou Boudreau does not have too much time to worry about when Selective service will catch up to at least eight of his key men, because he is one of those eight who may be exchanging his bat for a rifle.
 First Division
 Although Boudreau is not predict ing that Cleveland will finish on top, as he forecast last season, he can see first division spot for the Indians. who have landed in the top bracket 29 times since 1901. The nucleus of the Indians 1944 contender, like all clubs these days, is built around 4-F's and average players.
 Mickey Rocco, first baSeman, and Jimmy Grant, second baseman, both draft rejecteeS, give the Indians a fair start on fielding a creditable inf1eld. If Boudreau can stick around for time at shortstop and Ken Keltner can remain on third base, 1t figures to be one of the best combinations in the league.
 Russ Peters may start at second base in place of Grant to fill the gap left when Ray Mack decided to stay on his war job. But Peters is IA and the chore logically would fall to Grant if he is drafted.
 With Buddy Rosar still on his war job. Cleveland's catching prob lem is serious. The only 4-F is Jim Mcdonnell, a slightly y-built re- ceiver who may find it too punishing behind the bat in the majors. Russ Lyon, @ former semi-pro, and James Devlin from the Wilkes-Barre club, both face the draft.
 Heath a HOldout
 OutfielderS are stacked a little thin around the Cleveland spring training camp, and may get more sparse before long. Roy Cullen bine, 289 hitter for the Indians last year, and rookie Cliff Mapes are potential soldiers. Jeff Heath is a holdout. Oris Hockett. Paul O'Dea and Pat Secrecy are 4-Frs.
 Six rejectees from military serv- ice form the beginning of fair pitching staff-Steve Gromek (who also plays infield, Al Smith, Mike Naymick, and rockies Ed Klieman, Harold Kleine and Ambrose Palica. Joe Heving, the trust relief hurler, is average.
 However, Jim Bagby after feud- ing with Boudreau all winter, joined the Maritime Service; Mel Harder reported to camp with a 2-B classi- fcation from his war job; Ray Poat is undecided whether to report; Allie Reynolds and Vernon Ken nedy are IA.
