The Marvels and the Rovers re- mained uhdefeated and tied for first place in the Boys Club group club league by taking two tough games. In the first game the Marvels and the Spades battled it out in a real nip and tuck battle before Boucher put in a shot from {; side in dead overtime period to win for the Marvels 20 to 18. Boucher scored II points for the Marvels while Capt. Berardo kept the Spades in the game with his 8 points and fine de- fensive play. In the second game of the afternoon the Panthers and the Kings won 20 to 13 in a very rough tussle. Rosa stood out for the Kings with his eight points. In the last and feature game the last place Falcons had the first place Rovers in a bad spot for three quarters be- fore the Daly boys started to put them in from all corners to come out tie in regulation play. The both teams tf-en battled to two overtime periods before Ariola who scored 16 points put one in to end the game.

HARRISON'S HOT FINISH EARNS
 S2,5OO BONDS
BY RICHARD c. GLASS United Press Staff CorrespOndent)

United Press Staff CorrespOndent) Miami, Fla, Dec. II = (UP) = Pocketing $2.500 earned during a profitable furlough, Sgt E. J. (Dutch) Harrison headed back to his Army Air Base at Wright Field, Dayton, O., today with first prize money in the $1O,00O Miami Open Golf Tournament.
 Harrison, former Little Rock, Ark, professional, finished one stroke ahead of Henry Picard of Harrisburg, Pa, with a 72-hole total of 274 yesterday. Picard, who finished early and thought he had won, didn't reckon with the bril- lian nine-hole round by Harrison in which he picked up three strokes.
 Harrison went out yesterday two ever par and appeared to be out of competition, particularly when Picard had three under par 67 for his final round. However. the Little Rock service man had birdies on the 18th and 18th holes to pull even with Picard and he went ahead on the 18th, a 540-yard hole in which a perfect approach shot on the green enabled him to take a birdie four.
 His final round of 69 was not up to his sensational successive rounds of 66 on the second and third days, but the early pace gave him enough reserve to win. He started out slowly on the first day of the meet with three over par 73.
 Third place went to the veteran Johnny Revolta of Evanston, Ill, with 276. Picard received $1,25O and Revolta got $1,0OO. Maurice O'Connor of Belleville, N. J., was fourth with PIT, winning $500, while fifth money of S55 went to Pete Cooper of Gainesville, Fla, with 279. Johnny Bulla, Atlanta, Ga, airlines pilot was sixth with 281, winning $450 and Gene Kunes Of Hollywood, Fla, seventh with 282 for $350.
 Earl ChristianSen of Miami and Morton Bright of Atlanta tied as low amateurs with 293 each. They will have an 18-hole playoff round today for $200 in war bonds.
 Other low pros were Herman Barron of White Plains, N. Y, 280: Tony Penna of Dayton, O., and Bill Heinlein of Noblesville, Ind, 283 each; Joe Kirkwood of Phila- delphia and Johnny Gibson of Chicago, 284 each; Tommy Armour of Boca Raton, Fla, 286; Steve Warga, Miami, 286; Joe Turnesa of Rockville Center, N Y, and Terl Johnson, Norristown, Pa., 287 each: Tommy Wright of Knoxville, Tenn. 289; Glib Sellers. Hot Springs, Ark. 29O; Felix Serrafin. Pittston, Pa, 291 and Eddie Bush, Chicago, 295.

American Brass basketball units without Joe Boley, is like a fast train without an engineer. Boley hard-bitten, experienced and able player-coach of the ABC outfit, was unable to be on hand yesterday as 500 fans watched his previously un- beaten outfit take a six point loss from USTime, Al to 35.

Scovill ERA, tied by Chase at half time 16-16, pulled ahead in the third quartet and fi- nished with third string players for 47-35 victory over Chase; the same team that came from 12 points behind at half time to a thrilling 46-42 win oyer Waterbury Tool on the previous Wednesday.

Ford Frick Hot After Judge Landis Job
(Reg. U. s. Pat On.) BY JACK CUDDY
united Press stat correspondentl

(Un1ted Press Stau COrreSpOnueneJ
 New. Rork, Dec. 11.-(UP)-The Major League meetings will aI1- nounce, probably after today's opening sessions, that three men will govern organized baseball until an acceptable individual is available to succeed the late Kenesaw M. Landis as commissioner.
 You can bet your last package of cigarettes that this trio will run the diamond show until the war is over, at least.
 The three to be empowered are: Ford Prick, president of the Na- tion League; Will Harridge, presi- dent of the American League; and Leslie O'Connor, Secretary-treas- urer of the commissioners office. They are surviving members of the games advisory council.
 Just how much power the Club owners will confer upon Prick, Har- ridge and O'Connor we do not know. It is extremely unlikely that they will be granted the omnipo- tence of "Czar" Landis. More likely, rules will be drawn and adopted providing for limited ju- dicial and executive powers. in ad- dition to their existing advisory jurisdiction. Decisions on issues of policy, for example, probably would have to be approved by executive committees of the majors and minors. Whether the trio will be dignif1ed with the title "commis- sion", or continue to be called merely the advisory councir' we do not know.
 On the eve of the meetings, we talked to several club owners. Their conversations left us with the. i'm pression that in general they desire another strong man" like Landis to rule the game; but that there is no individual available now that would be acceptable to a majority.
 It was rumored robustly at the Hotel New Yorker last night that majority of the moguls had se- cretly agreed to name Ford Prick commissioner. But the authorita- tive sources we tapped convinced us that the report had no founda- tion. It would be mighty embar- rassing for a man who had been president of. the National League to make rulings on controversies involving the National and Ameri- can circuits. Any time he stepped on the American owners toes, there would be loud howls that Frikc was prejudiced. And how those park proprietors can howl! One National League owner said, Prick has proved an excellent National League president; which shows that he has brains. And man with Brains wouldn't put himself on any spot like Prick would find in the commissioners off1ce-even if the job was offered to him! which. it won't be-"
 The owners want a man who has no current connection with baseball and none with politics. They want a man who Is a red-hot baseball fan, meanwhile possessing a na.. tional reputation for his integrity and executive or judicial capaci- ties.
 If such rare specimen of homo sapiens exists today, you can wager your last packet of matches that he is chin-deep in war work, and VIII continue so until V-day,

Bor.toIo . Roach
 Title Bout; Roy White At Boston
BX JACK FROST United Press Staff CorreSnord.

S SS~AA correspondent
 Boston, Dec. 11-(UP)-Sal Bar tolo, Bostonian who spends most of his time in \ W York, defends his somewhat synthetic .NBA feather weight crown here this week but some of the glamour usually at- tendant on championship match may be stolen by the sensational heavyweight who has been aptly tabbed Elmer (The Violent) Ray.
 The title fight comes up at the Garden Friday with Bartolo pitted against Whistling Willie Roach. a clowning. Negro whom Bartolo has beaten twice-by a knockout Sept. 21, 1942 and by unanimous decision last January.
 One day earlier, Ray battles the giant Johnny White of Paterson, N. J., at Mechanics building in 10-round bout that may somewhat dull the fans appetite for the featherweight match and certainly will tighten the work of the Garden ticket takers.
 Principal question in the Bartolo- Roach fight is whether the champ ion can successfully make the 126- pound limit. Fighting overweight here a year back, Bartolo gave New York-style. champion Willie Pep a busy evening but few months later for the title lost all of the 15 rounds. Some believed .afterward that the requirements of pairing off pounds weakened him.
 Smart Money
 Despite all this, however, the Snart money probably will be on the champion since even on his poorer nights he rates as a far superior bower to Roach whose claim to fame is that he beat Larry Bolvin of Prov idence, R. l., a few months ago. New Louis?
 Rays fight with White is expected to prove. whether the Los Angeles Negro is possible successor to Joe Louis crown in postwar days.
 Having piled up 19 knockouts in 21 fights, the dead-pan Negro current ly Is hailed as the most sensational heavyweight now in the ring.
 In his debut here two weeks ago Ray reduced the iron man Earl Low man of Detroit to a helpless hulk and immediately won the applause of the. fans.
 White will be the toughest boxer he has met to date, since only week ago he fought to a draw with Fernando (The Nightly Menichelli of South America.
