Greene Denies Title Rank
To Williams Marshall Go

The Holman Williams LLOYD
Marshall 10-round battle Tuesday
night at Grif1ith Stadium will not
be a contest for the duration" light
heavyweight title Abe J. Greene,
president of the National Boxing
Association. has turned down the re-
quest of Joe Turner and the District
Boxing Commission that the war
time crown be put in the balance
when Williams and Marshall meet.
Greene based his decision on the
fact that Gus Lesnevich, actual light
heavy king, now is in the armed
forces, and the NBA has frozen the
titles of all champs now in service.
NBA's refusal followed the District
Commissions application to make
the bout title affair on the grounds
that Lloyd Marshall is nationally
recognized as duration" light
heavyweight champ.

Baseball Doesn't
Help Of 0|d-1imers,
Mack Declares
BY the Assoeiatco Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 14.-Con-
ME Mack says It's all the bunk-this
talk about the major leagues drag
ging the great timers back into
baseball to save the game from tho
wartime rocks.
I'VE don't need them; we don't
want them; I doubt If any one of
them wants to come back, and they
can't play any more anyway"
afirms the Athletics e1-year-old
manager. "I'd much rather keep
the game going with and 15-year-
olds.
I'm the first place, we are going
to have enough 4-Fs to carry US
through. besides the men who aren't
called and youngsters who haven't
gone into the service.
Old-timers Can't Come Back.
"1t's a joks to talk about such
men as Ty Cobb, iris Speaker, Ed
die Collins, Babe Ruth, Walter
johnson and Al Simmons making
comebacks.
I'VE appreciate the fine spirit
they have shown and their desire
to help baseball, but they can't play
now. Once q man has passed IS or
40 and then gives up the game for .
year or so, he can't come back"
Mack said he saw some old-timers
play In bond-selling game In New
York last year-"and pitied
them"
Great outfielders like Speaker
one Of the finest fly catchers Of all
time-looked pitiable. I was afraid
he would get hit on the head"
Likes Smaller Squad Idea.
If the clubs should have to get
along with 18-man squads, Mack
comments, maybe small group
would be better; what good is q
staff OF II or IL pitchers If you CAM t
work them regularly?"
Don't worry about baseball and
don't worry about the caliber Of
ball." he adds. THE teams will be
about as good as they were last year
and after all it's even competition
that the fans want. They don't
look for superexcellence these days"
