PARADE
BY JACK CUDDY

NEW YORK, Jan. 81 tUP) - A
whirl on the sports-go-round;
Postwar planning is the chief
subject for consideration at the
major league meetings, which start
Saturday in New York; but the in
creasingly acute player shortage
may provide an immediate problem
that will take precedence over
postwar plans.
A publicity stunt boomeranged
Saturday night when press agents
prevailed upon Sgt. Joe Louis to
pose with his estranged wife, Mar
va, and pictorially approve of her
singing tour. Shortly after the
lens lads departed, Louis kayoed
the reconciliation photos by an
nouncing flatly that he and Marva
would have to get a divorce soon
er or later"
Despite the inroadS by the armed
services upon major league ball
players, President Ford Frick of
the National League asserted last
night that his circuit will have
enough manpoWer to operate during
1914. He disclosed that his
division lists 38 layers who are Az
physical rejects, All lover 38) or
1-C Chonorably discharged. q.
This was an average of IL per club.
In addition, he emphasized, the
clubs are signing many youngsters
below draft age.
A proposal to amend the law
governing boxing and wrestling in
New York state to permit 17-year-
olds to participate professionally is
scheduled to be introduced in the
state Legislature tonight. =. 1t is
sponsored by Assemblyman John j.
Lamula CRO.
Commander Oscar "SWede" Hag-
berg is believed TO be enroute from
the Pacific theater of naval opera
tions to take over the head football
coaching job at the Naval Academy.

Whelchel, who has been shifted to
other duties. Hagberg did a
grand job as skipper of submarine
in japanese water. His 1914
navy team should be the strongest
in the East.
The mile run again will command
most attention at the Millrose
games here Saturday night. 4.
Entries have been received from

Senator Thomas Keating. Cd, San
Rafael, who also introduced a bill
calling for immediate civil service
status of prison employees with the
exception of professional men. He
said he would ask passage of the
bill in event its provisions are not
included in the general prison re-
organization measure.
Heating declared that it was be-
coming increasingly difficult to
maintain a guard line at San Quen-
tin prison because of higher pay in
the shipyards and other war indus
tries.
Salaries at Chino, he said, av-
erage about $40 a month higher
than those in the other two in
stitutions To raise Folsom and
San Quentin pay to the Chino level
would cost about $4,000 for two
years, he said.
