SPOR IS
PAR ADE
BY JACK CUDDX

NEW YORK, April 25. CUP)-
The whispering wings of great
flights of passenger pigeons and
the laundering hcofs Of vast buffalo
herds have vanished from the
American scene. Likewise the swag-
gertng crew of Irish fighters who
dominated the nations rings.
Accordingly it was like watching
the last passenger cove or the last
bison last night as we saw Coley
Welch Of Portland, Me, belt his
way TO victory at Little St. Nicks.
Welch is the last prominent Irish
pugilist still tossing leather; what
with Billy Conn, Red Cochrane,
Bobby Ruffin, ETC., in service.
Welch-so completely Irish that
his face is a compromise between
the late Philadelphia Jack O'Brien
and Jimmy Braddock-pounded out
an eight-round decision over Vic
Dellicurti, New York middleWeight.
II was an important victory for
Coleman Patrick Bernard Welch,
although we cannot say that, in
achieving it, he seemed throw
back to such great Celtic clouterS
of the past as John L. Sullivan, jim
Corbett, Johnny Kilbane, Jack Nc
AuEffe, Mickey Walker, Mike Glib
bons. Tom Sharkey or Tommy
Loughran. 1t was a close, crowd
pleasing fight; and Welch, himself,
was delighted that he mac won, be-
cause it was his first victory on the
back trail, after losing 10 rug
ged Jake Lamotta at Boston on
March 17-of all days.
GETS E-HARDENED
Welch, a natural middleweight,
pared down too fas- after his dis
charge from the coast guarc, and,
although he won his first 10 bouts,
he made miserable showing in the
18th against LamOtta. The pairing
off had left him bit flabby. To
harden his body again, a physician
advised him 10 return TO his first
calling that Of an ice man. So
since March II, Coley has been
working from Z am. until noon
daily ON an ice wagon in Portland.
BY following this vigorous occupa-
tion-Which Tony Galento CLAM
orized in his pre-beer Gays-25-year
-old Coley recaptured some OF the
ruggedness he possessed before en-
tering the coast guard.
Imperial Valley press., 1944-04-25

BRAKE ON PRICES
Dewey also predicted that the
synthetic rubber would put a brake
on crude rubber prices. He said
it was his firm belief that in the
postwar era, the synthetic rubber
industry would continue to function
both as price control over natural
rubber, and as a desired product for
certain users.
Right now" he SAID, synthetic
passenger car tires are giving 80
per cent of the mileage of natural
crude rubber tires and the synthetic
tires are being improved constantly.
synthetic rubber has been made
as cheaply as Is cents a pound, al
though the present overall average,
because of the war price of buta-
diene, is from 35 to 40 cents a pound
compared to 221a cents for crude
natural rubber
NOT OPTIMISTIC
But despite the advance of syn
thetic rubber, the outlook for pas
sengar car tires was not optimistic.
Last month";" Dewey said, I'VE
produced $4,000 tons of synthetic
rubber That's larger amount
than our preWar consumption of
crude natural rubber, yet we were
ger tires out of the tremendous prof.
ects-the rest went into the coun-
trys war machine

The first five or six will be played
at night. while it is still warm, as
the season opens September 2. After
that we're going to play Sunday
ball, he said.
Many of the ideas of the Ma
tional league are being followed,
the leagues organizer admitted,
We're going to have a northern
and southern division, with dlvl-
sinai playoff too
II think the league will have more
and better talent this year than
the National league Freelove said
confidently. That will be due to
the men working in aircraft plants
and in shipyards."
Il also expect the caliber of our
league to stay up, even after the
war. In time I expect public de-
mand will result in playoff be-
tween us and the National league
each year, il the National league
doesn't think Of it first"

Player Manager Mel Otis accept
ance for general military duty isn't
going to affect his plans for keeping

least
He joined the team for the two

with the club until called, which
Will not be until after May Is and

The 35-year-old outfielder. who
has spent more than half of his
lifetime-19 years to be exact
with the Giants was accepted for
general army duty at Camden, N.
j.. Monday but his age and the
fact that he is a pre-Pearl Harbor
father with two children would put
him down on the draft list behind
younger men unless recently modi-
fled selective service regulations are
changed again
Ott said he had no further plans
beyond an attempt to keep the
