BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Feb. 12.-Sergt Freddie
Mills of the Royal Air Force and the
light-heavyweight champion of the
British Empire, challenged Sergt
Joe Louis, world heavyweight king,
to title bout ''if and when" the
American comes to England.
(The United States War Depart
ment in Washington has announced
that Louis soon would be sent over
seas to entertain United States serv-
icemen in series of exhibition
bouts)
Ted Broadribb, Mills manager and
who guided Tommy Farr in his bout
with Louis, said he had cabled the
challenge to Mike Jacobs in New
York and said he suggested that the
proceeds be given to some charity
selected by an Engish-American
committee.
Mills is a leading contender fol-

two years ago defeated Raj Pilot

Play Out Of Town.;
Blues Beat 4. j.

Gallaudet and Maryland basket
ball teams are slated for out-of-
town action tonight. The Blues play
at Randolph-Macon while the Old
Liners visit University of Richmond.
Maryland was to have played at
Hampden-S Sydney last night, but
was prevented from making the trip
by transportation difficulties caused
by snow.
Gallaudet last night defeated
American u, 36-31, at Roosevelt
gym. Although ahead all the way,
the Blues had to stave off a late
A. U. rally that pulled the Eagles
to within one basket of tying the
score in the games closing minutes.
Paul Baldridge and Roy Holcomb
got Gallaudet away to an 8-3 lead
in the first period. The Eagles cut
this to 1913 at the half. Gallaudet
carried a 28-18 edge into the final
frame, at which point the Eagles
got busy. Led by Bunny Citren-
baum, who until last week starred at
Roosevelt High, they cut the lead to
31-29, before Baldridge tossed in a
score that widened the gap.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Feb. 12.-If

No Draft Fuvors for Baseball
Askedby byCLubs, Londis Soys

I'm accordance with the Presi-
dents letter of January Is, 1912, to
me, suggesting the continuance Of
professional baseball, but observing
that know you will agree with
nae that individual players who are
of military or naval age should 60
without question into the services =
I have repeatedly stated on behalf
of everybody connected with pro-
fessional baseball that we ask no
preferential treatment, that we
would be disgraced if we got it and
that we desire that all laws and
regulations having to do with this
war shall operate upon our per-
sonnel precisely as upon the other
130,000,000 of our population.
No Question of Morale"
arguments that preferential
treatment would serve morale can
have only the effect of making that
word odious Furthermore, favored
treatment in any way or to any
extent of professional athletes not
only would be harmful to their in
terests and the interests of the Or
CARNATIONS with which they are
connected, but also would inevitably
and justifiably arouse bitter public
resentment.
"Of course I am not assuming that
if any such scheme reaches you it
will not be summarily disposed of.
My purpose in writing you is solely
to make sure that you know that
nobody connected with professional
baseball is authorized to speak for
any such proposition.
"All good wishes to you.
Very truly yours,

CHICAGO, Feb. 12-Kenesaw
Mountain Lands, commissioner of
baseball, announced last night that
club owners In professional baseball
would not ask for preferential draft
treatment of their players during
the war.
The commissioners statement
was occasioned by the exchange OF
published correspondence between
Stephen Early, secretary of Presi-
dent Roosevelt and j. G. T. Sphinx of
st. Louis, publisher of Sporting News,
a weekly paper devoted chiefly to
baseball. Sphinx sought an expression
from the White House on the game S
future during the war.
"Mr. Sphinx is not a member of the
baseball organization and does not
speak for anybody but himself, y
Lands said, in his statement. NO
body authorized to speak for pro-
fessional baseball has requested
preferential treatment of any kind
for any player. Most emphatically
no such request will be made while
we are engaged in this war"
Not Asking Exemptions.
Lands authorized publication of
a hitherto unpublished letter he
wrote to Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey,
director of selective service, which
expressed baseballs attitude The
letter, written to Gen. Hershey last
