TEixie" Reel Clever Star Of Ice-Copades

New Haven, Jan. 28 - There's a petite Viennese blond in the Ice CapadeS of 1914 who answers to the name of Trixie. That's the way she is billed, that's what everyone calls her, and that's the way she signs her name. And it really fits her. This dexterous skating star who comes to the Arena on Febru- ary 4th with the great cast of 152 TOT the 10-day run of Ice Capades. Is never Stumped. Show her some thing tricky and she'll guarantee not only to duplicate it, but better it. '
 That's how she learned to jug gle, copying the tricks of Enrico RestelI, one of the greatest jug glerS of Europe who was in her fathers circus in Austria before the war.
 Over here in the States, while do- Ing her act in vaudeville, she was approached with an offer to be starred on ice. So she learned to skate - and to juggle at the same time. A year ago she saw a cowboy lGplnning a lariat - SO she mastered that, too, and use 1t in her Ice Ca- pades routines.
 Tickets for the Ice Capades are now on sale and may be ordered by mail for all performances through February 1S. Choice seats at low prices are available for February | and 8.

 FAVORITE TO
 DEFEAT ANGOTT
BY JACK cUDDY

0G ShOA NOOO4 United Press Stan COrrespundentl
 New York, Jan. 28-CUP)-Brown- skinned Beau Jack was 7-5 favor ite to beat veteran Sammy Angott tonight in their non-title l0-round bout which will determine the un~ official, undisputed lightweight champion of the world.
 More than 17,000 fans will jam into Madison Square Garden and swell the gate to more than $75,- 900 for this first collision between the two StIll-necked, broad-shoul- dered, -biceped maulers.
 Beau Jack, Georgia's ex-bootblack is recognized as champion in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania and is favored because of his youth and punch.
 However, Angott, the Washington, Pa., Italian, who is recognized as lightweight ruler by the National Boxing Association, has heavy back ing because of his deceptive speed and ringcraft, although at g he is seven years older than the Georgia Negro.
 Angott has trained longer and harder for this bout than for any in his career. It was always his cus- tom to come into New York week or ten days before his contests here, engage in five or six days of boxing at the gym. For tonight'S event, however, he came to New York three weeks ago and engaged in more than sixty rounds of gymnasium Sparring.
 Consistent A good money-fighter, Angott figures to be at his best tonight. He has been consistent winner in New York rings and in rings all over the country and with so much at stake tonight he should repeat the excel lent showing he made in defeating Ruffin several weeks ago.
 Matchmaker Nat Rogers support. ing program consists of three six round bouts and pair of fours. Matched in one of the four sixers are Ham Wiloby, Jamaica, L. l., featherweight, and Walter (Cabey) Lewis, Havana, Cuba.

Paired in one of the four rounders are Russell Baxter, New- castle, Pa., middleweight, and Billy Walker, Portland, Ore Max Con- zales. Puerto Rico lightweight, and Charley Smith, Newark, collide in the opening four.

(Reg. U. S. Pat. Off.) By JACK CUDDY

United Press Staff Correspondent
 New York, Jan. 28. (UP)-Col Matt Vim, practical visionary who cemented the north and south after the Civil war with, his heart prodding Kentucky Derby, suggests now that war-taXed America should have national lottery.
 Colonel Vim, a @oung man of 83, hopes that the American Legion or some other national organiza- tion takes quick steps to sponsor a national lottery to prevent the men now in service from paying huge income taxes when they return from riSking their lives at the far-fiung fronts.
 Colonel Vim says, "our govern ment could establish national lot tery without much additional cost through its postal department, and thereby add three or four billion dollars year to it's income. It could take advantage of the more liberal feeling in our country toward wager ing "It could cash in on the money bet daily with round -the-corner bookies, and on the money chang ing hands in the floating crap games in which unwary sucker hasn't much chance"
 Col. Vim, in New York to make plans for the tracks in which he is interested - Empire, Laurel, Churchill Downs and Lincoln Fields emphasized that every Latin American country had it's national lotteries; likewise several European countries.
 He explained that in the United States the Hong hairs" hesitated to to collect money for the national treasury through a lottery; yet they had no. reluctance to accept the tax money from racketeers-or to see that those racketeerS were thrown into prison when they failed to pay the proper income taxes on their earnings from illicit gambling.
 Because of this insistence on col lections from racket gamblers, Col. Vim insists that the government already is a partner in gambling, and he pats the government on the back for being such a partner-for getting all it can from the gamblers. But he deplores the fact that the government is merely picking up the chips and missing the tree trunks.
 Col Vim, suggested that we have a national lottery based on six top races through each year-the Derby, Belmont stakes, Preakness, Arling- ton classic, and two on the winter Florida circuit
 He said, "six lotteries a year would be patronized surprisingly by the American public. They not only would cut down the taxes for returning service men, but also for everyone in this country. Moreover they would offer the chance of riches to men and women who never would naturally have chance to get rich"

VVVVVVV Friday Fish And Chips

Just to give you an idea of how the "experts" can disagree, even sitting at ringside viewing the same bout, there's the most recent con- parison of two Hartford writers, sports editor Bill Lee of the COUR- ANT and Joe Cassano of the TIMES, who voted this way on
 the Lefty LaChance-Snooks Lacey bout last Tuesday evening. Both are honest, capable writers, who have seen many many boxing bouts Tn Connecticut, New York and Bos- ton. MT. Lee, whose Monday column sized up Lacey as a washed -up' boxer who would prove a warm up' for LaChance in relation to his supposedly future bout with the NBA champ, Phil Terranova-gave Lacey FIVE rounds, LaChance FOUR and called one round EVEN. MT. CaSsano, saw it as SIX for La Chance, THREE for Lacey and ONE even while Referee Bill Con- way scored 1t FIVE for LaChance, TWO for Lacey and THREE even Believe or doubt but Joe Mulville's Reindeers, tied for the Elks national division lead with Al KoskeyS team, had to call out the AIR CORPS and the ARMY to stay Ill the fight for the lead, which is St1ll even at this writing. Johnny Thompson of the Air Corps, and Jim Mccarthy, U. S. Army, both members of the Mulville team be- fore they donned Uncle Sam's khaki, were home on furlough and rolled against Mulville rivals We'd nesday night when the Reindeers won 3-1 decision. Koskey'S team also won by that margin last Mon- day night .. For the second suc- cessive Wednesday, BOTH WIN NERS of IRA hoop games at the "Y" scored the same number of points. U. s. Rubber defeated the favored American Brass 50 to 38; while Chase won easily from Benrus 50 to 12. A week ago, both winners checked in with Al points.
 Robert Wiltshire Westberg, deputy chief of the Watco guards, is Army bound but will be feted at P. Browns eating emporium next week with Freddie Hall, toastmaster to be in- troduced by Chief Rocco Mara, ac- cording to plans of the committee in charge, headed by Aurora Bore alis. Ed McGrath, IRA basket ball director has snared no less than SIX nice trophies to be awarded winner and runner-up in the first and second division among the men. and the first two teams in the girls

STENCIL QUITS
 BRAVES DESPITE BIC INVESTMENT
By HARRY VANDERNOOT

By HARRY VANDERNOOT United Press Staff Correspondent
 Boston, Jan. Colorful, clowning Casey stengel, who loves the Boston Braves so much he couldn't joke about quitting them, ended his career as their manager today in note of resignation that failed to conceal how much it hurt to leave them.
 In the note, sent to President Bob Quinn, from Chicago Stengel said he had learned a new group pur- chased the major interest in the team and that they were consider ing appointment of new manager.
 Tt is to avoid any embarrass- ment on the part of this group that l am submitting my resignation, |" he wrote. T am sure that the Bos- ton club will profit in future years from the young players I have tried to break in. I wish to thank you and everyone connected with the club for your cooperation during the past six years"
 Stengel, admittedly happier here than in any other city during his long major league career, brought a new kind of baseball to Boston. The Braves, a second rate team, drew fans who had never seen games be- fore because they liked the light hearted manner in which Casey di- rected the club.
 The 53-year-old Stengel suffered broken leg when struck by an au- tomobile last season and was out for several months. The Braves f1n- ished in sixth place in the National league and did not have a successful year financially.
 Director, Too
 Stengel had considerable amount of money invested in the club and when the new group pur- chased the majority interest a week ago, he remained member of the board of directors. The new syndi- cate, headed by Joseph Nancy, Louis R. Perini and Guido L Rugo, Bos- ton contractors, had not indicated that they wanted to replace Stengel.
 The one-time Kansas City, Mo, hack driver, who played with the Pittsburgh Pirates, New York Giants, Brooklyn Dodgers and the Braves before taking up a mana gerial carer, previously directed the Dodgers. In 1883, he succeeded Max Carey as manager and signed a three-year contract. In a move that became baseball history, the Dodger ownership released him with a year to go and paid him a full years salary for not managing the club. In 1887 he signed as Boston man. ager and remained here for six years.
