 New York, March 9 --- U.P) -- Genial Jimmy Conzelman, former football coach of Washington U and the Chicago Cardinals, set the wartime moaners and groaners of the sports world back on their heels today with tn edisclosure ot his reverse English" theory.
 Councilman, a big, broad-houlder- ed guy with shaggy gray hair, be- lieves that the shift Of sports idols and other seasoned performers to the armed services actually VIII stimulate athletic enthusiasm among the youngsters of the nation instead of sapping 1t as had been feared. .s
 Councilman, now assistant tC Donald L. Barnes, president of the St. Louis Browns, gave of his re verse English" theory last night afte.' returning from speaking tour of the Army and Navy camps and hospitals about Newport News, Va, and Norfolk, Va.
 Jimmy said, there have been dire misgivingS throughout the sports world about the possible bad effects of the removal of such idols as Joe DiMaggio, Ted Williams, Joe Louis, etc, and other big-time performers. Many prominent sports writers and educators have expressed fear that the temporary removal of these heroes would tend to disrupt the morale of our teen-age youngsters in high school by taking away ath- letes that they might try to emulate
 But the persons expressing these fears forget the important fact that for the vast mass of the youngsters of our nation, these sports heroes have been long dis tance heroes-men of whom they have read or seen indirectly through brief flashes in the movies.
 And the moaners and groaners forgot that-as long as organized sports continue-the places of these seasoned performers will be taken largely by talent recruited from teen-age kids-kids who are the immediate, neigilborhood heroes Of every youngster in their area"
 He explained that in any high school in our land, Joe DiMaggio, Sid Luckman or Joe Louis may be the long distance heroes of the youngsters, but their immediate heroes are the lads who recently left their schools and are making 8 name for themselves in the minor leagues, in college football or in the golden gloves
 Councilman emphasized, never before has national sports Stardom been brought so close to high school kids. A chap who vas a senior in high school last year, may gallop to fame as a freshman with Notre Dame this year. A kid who pitched for high school last year, may be throwing curves in the upper-strats minors or even in the majors this season. And last years seniors may be earning unexpectedly big money in the ring"
 Jimmy concluded that American youngsters may worship national sports stars from afar, but the guys they initiate are their neighborhood heroes. And their interest in ath- letics will be stepped up consider ably when they know they have a chance to follow quickly ill the foot steps of Joe zilch of last years sen for high school class-to gold and glory.

That Angott-Zur1ta lightweight title bout last night on the west coaSt-to use Q pungent expression and the batter of Delancey Street. smells from HERRING". Here we have a Mexican ring veteran whose record shows he started to test the town bullies south of the border back in 1888; was licked by Midget Wolgast three times in l935, knocked out by Henry Armstrong In four rounds in 1936 defeating the NBA lightweight champion over l5 rounds; q man who has not lost a fight to a lightweight in FIVE YEARS, including Beau Jack and Bob Montgomery, the latter having been whopped no less than three times by Sammy the Clutch, who WAS to meet him once more on March 3l, to see just who is the best lightweight in the country.
 Three things about that title fight last night positively intrigue me. In the order of their importance, they are:
 l. Angott was as high as 2 to 1 favorite to beat Juan Zurita.
 2. Angott's contract calls for a return bout in 30 days.
 3. Angott could not make the weight at Ii a. m. when he weigh ed in; but got down to l35 by 2 p. m.
 Add to that the fact that the listed manager of Zurita, the Mex ican warhorse is tagged L. James Fitten and you have all the elements of a mystery plot. T was slow, weak had no steam" said Sammy as Man. ager Charley Jones nodded his noble dome in ives" fashion, explaining his defeat and loss of title Cat 2 tc 1 odds). Just watch Sammy recover that there crown the next time they meet, IF and WHEN, for the U. s Army has ideas about the Washing ton, Pa, ex-champ.
 P. S.-That clicking, billiard-bal! noise that disturbed downtown New York and parts of Rumson, N. J this morning was only Promoter Mike Jacobs trying out new set oi mouth crockery, as accounts Of tht Angott-Zurita bout were read tt him by his publicity man, Harry Markson; for now poor Mike can't settle the l35 pound title on Marcl 3l unless he grabs Zurita to take . licking from Bob Montgomery Against that, though, there's An gott's contract with Zurita anc Manager L. James Fitten for a re. turn bout within THIRTY DAYS.

IBACBY BLASTS'
 DOUDREAU, CLUB; [QuITS BASEBALL
BY HAROLD FOREMAN United Press Staff Correspondent


 United Press Staff CoFrespOndent) Atlanta, Ca, March 9.-(UP)- Pitcher Jim Bagby said today that being the goat for the Cleveland Indians" definitely was third choice among his possible occupations for the coming summer and that he would remain at his war job at Marietta, Ga, If he was not able to make the grade with the U. s. merchant marine.
 Bagby, who had a drawn-out quarrel with Manager Lou Boudreau of the Indians Inst summer, charged the club with being sarcastic" in its reply to his request for salary raise.
 T don't think I have been un- reasonable in my demands to the club" he said. T think I deserved a raise. The club was sarcastic in It's reply to my request for more money and I have no intention of being made a goat"
 Through With B. B.
 Bagby said he had written to Commissioner K. M. Landis and asked to be placed on the voluntary retired list because T definitely am not going to play baseball this year" The 17-game-winner said he be- neved remarks made by club of- ficials reflected on him personally. "Boudreau fined me hundred dollars last season over personal matter and then spread 1t around that I was out of shape. When the public reads that ball player is out of shape they think he has been out drinking or something. At least that is the way figure 1t.
 "Regardless of what Boudreau, or any of the rest of them say 1t was personal fine and had nothing to do with my condition. l don't want any club taking money away from me that way. When they dc that 1t is the last straw"

|EX-CHAMP TO
 GET RETURN 60 IN THIRTY DAYS

 Hollywood, March g - (UP.) = Juan Zurita, switch-hitting Mexican jumping bean, last night scored ono of the biggest boxing upSets on the West Coast in two decades when he took the NBA lightweight title from sammy Angott over the 16-round route at Gilmore Field.
 Victory for the Guadalajara. Mexico fighter may junk the well- laid plans of New York Promoter Mike Jacobs to clear up the light. weight title muddle. He had signed Angott and Philadelphia Bob Mont gomery world champion (New York version) for title match in Madi. son Square Garden, March 3l.
 zurita's contract calls for a re- turn bout with Angott within 30 days. But further complicating the picture was the fact that Angott repjortS for his pre-induction phy- sical examination today.
 Climbing through the ropes to meet the rough and mauling Wash. ington, Pa., slugger, dark-eyed Zu- rita was so lightly regarded that he was to 1 underdog.
 Sam Looked Bad
 One round later, the jolting coun- ter-puncher from south of the bor- der was on his way to the NBA lightweight title and round by round, punch by punch, he worked the beeetle-browned champ over to the point where Angott was pitch ing wild rights and lefts like an amateur.
 When the bout was over and Zu- rita had been awarded the unani- nous decision, Sammy was bruised and beaten champion.
 Strong and sharp, Zurita time after time scored with smashing lefts after he switched to baffling southpaw stance in the second heat. Left hand cooked, he stalked the champion, maneuvered him into missing and then crunched in his smashes and often followed with a sizzling right hand blow to Angotts head.
 Sammy opened the first round WAtH HIS USUAL rough, DCaWIIlg SCylO and the crowd of 13,000 which paid 03l ,000 to see the upset, howled its approval. Angott won that round easily, but from there on out, he wasn't in the picture.
 The United Press score sheet gave Zurita 12 rounds, Angott two and one even.
 After the bout, Ang0tt revealed he weighed in at 137 1-2 pounds at II a. m. and asked that the weigh-in ceremony be postponed unti' 2 D. m. In the interim he took steam baths, two rubdOwnS. and ran five miles to finally weigh in at 135. The brown skinned Zurita tipped the beam at 133 1-2.
 It was the first time the Mexican had been called upon to go IS rounds and he said, T got stronger every minute"
 T was weak, slow, and didn't have any stean," Angott explained.

Ex-Wife Testifies
In Trial Of Copy Editor
Accused as Jap Agent
Ey the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 4.-Frederick
Heller Wright's divorced wife, Mrs.
Clifton Nelson of Provincetown,
Mass, testified yesterday that he
had cautioned her on three occa-
sions against telling the FBI he had
received money for doing Japanese
publicity work.
Wright, a copy reader for the New
York Daily News, is on trial in Fed
eral Court on charge of acting as
an agent of the japanese before
Pearl Harbor without notifying the
State Department. The newspaper is
not involved in the charge.
Two years after their divorce, the
defendants former wife said, he
visited her in Hartford, Conn, in
1912 and asked her if she had been
questioned by FBI agents investigat-
ing his activities.
Mr.. Wright said it would be
helpful if I told the FBI agents the
truth, but did not mention any
monies he received for publicity
work he had done for the Japanese,
she testified.
He said he did not believe there
was any evidence against him-that
the Government had any sort of
case, but he was afraid certain ac-
tions of him might be misconstrued. !"
She said she and Wright had en-
tertained japanese officials in New
York on several occasions, including
Kensuke Horinouchi, japanese con-
sui general.
Wright and she went to Japan in
1885, she said. after Wright told her
he believed war was imminent in
the Far East and that he believed
he could get job there as a war
correspondent.
Eli Ishii, an American born Japa-
nese formerly employed at the Japa-
nese consulate here, said the con-
sulate treasurer was instructed on
at least two occasions ito prepare
monies" for Wright.
Il was told Wright was doing con-
fldential work for the consulate"
Ishii said.
