Louis 'Wurms Up' At Baltimore

Baltimore, Nov. 7.-(UP)-Sgt. Joe Louis used the lightest bombs in the rack last night, but demon strated his old time precision long enough to win decision over Char ley Crump, Baltimore Coast Guardsman, in a three round exhi- bitton bout in the jam packed Gen. tury Athletic Club.
 Performing for the second time as an added feature" in a sched- uled string of exhibition fights. the Brown Bomber hoarded his heavy artillery and gave Crump only a few samples of his sharp punching.
 Four thousand fans gave soldier Joe laundering ovation as he climbed into the ring. The champ weighed PIP, and appeared to be flabbier than the sleek machine he was at his prewar peak.
 Crump tried hard to box himself out of an obvious Stooge status, but he had little control over the situation. Louis rapped the young Baltimorean just often enough to keep warm and coasted the rest of the time.
 In the main event of the evening serious, slugging, Holman Williams, 161, Detroit, scored a unanimous 1O-round decision over Kid Tuneta, 156, Cuba. In the serni-windup. Baltimore'S Beau Jack, 135, and Don Bacala, 136, roughed through six rounds with the Beau prevailing by decision.

 For Local Refs

Because of inability to hire local registered central board officials for $7.50 maximum fee, managers of various teams in the IRA Basketball League, decided to place no limits on their selection of officials for the coming season, who may be se- cured from any part of the state and need not be members of the so-call- ed central board"
 Referees and the matter of player eligibility, took up the major part of three hour discussion last night at a meeting of basketball team managers at the YMCA, deciding that "A" team players meaning members of the stronger teams of the league must have full time GAO hour weekly) players as workers in the factory they represent; while B" league teams may use part time workers.
 Open November 26

There Are Now More Pro Football Clubs Thon Floyers, Which Is Just Fine for the Players;
 It's About Time the Athletes Got Break

 Ernie Hoberecht writes identifying the Hawaiian owners, who have al- ready engaged him to thump the tub. They are F. J. Bricker, who was first to bring college stars to the Islands; Ralph w. Olson, civic leader, and Dr. Samuel L. Fee, a Chinese surgeon.
 Bricker sends word that if players are as easy to sign as hula girls, his group is not going to have the slightest trouble. Ever since he an- nounced that he and his associates had purchased the operating rights, they have been beseiged by lovely Hawaiian misses who want to ac- company the team and see the 4a states on the Mainland.
 Flying will be wonderful when peace comes, but I imagine the Hawaiian squad will make the first leg of its eastern trips on surf boards.
 There are now more professional football clubs than players, which is great for the players.

Pete Pipes Up
By JOHN A. CLUNEY

Subject of today's story is Pete Cawthon of Texas Tech and, the Brooklyn Tigers who was recently kicked upstairs" when he resigned as coach of the Brooklyn Tigers of the National Pro football league, to "hook on" with the Detroit Lions fot the next four years. It was FRONT, OFFICE trouble, pure and simple that caused Cawthon to break away from Brooklyn, which has not had a winner in baseball or football for some time now so- everybody's sore from Alderman Pete Met Guinness to Jerry Looney, the INDOOR AVIATOR made national ly famous by Waterhury's Dan Park CT through the medium of the New York Mirror.
 Of course, Pete may have lined up the Detroit job, and was looking for an "out' at Brooklyn, because his contract had some time to run; anc it's no secret that anyone look ing for an tout" in Brooklyn has not far to look. You may or may not know that Pete Cawthon is one of the best coaches in the nation, though not publicized as much as others with larger schools. Here's his own story of his biggest thrin in a single game:
 My Texas Tech team of 1889 had won nine in 8 row, was doped to easily to beat New Mexico at Albuquerque, went out relaxed.

BY JACK CUDDY United Press Staff Correspondent

New York, Nov. 7-(UP)-You'd swear that the clue is coming right out of Willie Mosconi's forehead when the worlds champion pool player buckles way down over the green baize table for one of his deadly long shots.
 Perhaps it's this peculiarity of getting his handsome face right down on the cue, or perhaps it's his delicate touch-or a combination of both-that has made Mosconi the greatest long shooter in the history of the pastime known to the car- riage trade as pocket billiards. Willie's mastery of the long shot his ability to dunk the object ball unerringly at tables length-distin- guishes him from pocket billiard champions of the past: men who were virtually flawlesS performers in other departments of pool-Shark- ing. This distance artistry enabled him to establish competitive rec- ords that astolnded even the great Ralph Greenleaf, who dominated the sport for years.
 The 31-year r-old champion from Sylvania, O., is in New York on tour. He is a slender, cat-like man of medium height. Slight tints of gray are barely perceptible in his curly black hair. His grace, rhythm and precision come naturally; for Willie is the nephew of the famous Mosconi dancerS-LouiS and Char ley-who did those fantastic, slid- ing dances for so many seasons on the old Keith-orpheum time.
 Willie opened match play yester- day at Julans 14th street academy with Joe Procita of Gloversville, N. F., eastern states champion. They are slated for 12 blocks of 125 points each. Naturally Willie is heavy fa- vorite because heis the champion competitive runner" of all time,. For example, Mosconi made a tre- mendous splash in the pool world in the 1940-41 league tournament when he won the world title. At that time the world record for the best game of 12 points in champion ship play was Greenleaf's 125-0 victory in two innings over Frank Taberski at Detroit in 1929. Green leaf performed this feat only once in his competitive lifetime, although champion 16 times.
 Mosconi not only broke that rec ord once in the 40-'41 tourney, by going out 125-0 in one inning; he did it nine times before the competition was completed. He made 50 runs of 100 or more. But Willie stuffed off later in fl, finishing in triple tie for first in the October November tourney at Philadelphia. and losing his title to Erwin Rudolph of Sayre, Pa, in the play-off. However. he recaptured the crown at the Detroit tourney in AZ, beating out such notables as Rudolph, Greenleaf, An drew Ponzi, Jimmy Caras and Irv- ing Crane. He lost the title to PonA in 43 at Kansas City; but regained 1t this year in the same city by beating Ponzi 1900 to 1925 in 12 blocks, Feb. '29 to March 5.
 Willie, who was born in South Philadelphia where his father had small pool room, began playing at the age of seven. He won an eastern sectional tournament at 20, and moved ur to the big time. Mosconi's manager, Sylvester Livington, says the pocket billiard championship is worth about $30,O00 8 year to the holcer in normal times; but not now. However," Sylvester admits, willie makes 8 very nice living for his wife, two kids and himself-even hnnHII O
