|LAZzERI SPURNS
 REQUEST FOR GN ALTON

San Francisco. Jan. H1-~(up1 Manager Tony Laszerl of tho wilkes Barre club of the En1lsrm league today challenged ofacialS ol the club to oust him from hia id's in which he led the team to fourth place and a position In Che plazs offs last season.
 "If they want to get rid of ma. they'll have to throw me out" Laze 1eri, former New York Yankee ifia fielder, said in confirming that hl4 resignation had been requested.
 "Tf they had wanted to be nico about it, they could have informed me sooner" he said. ''Now the win ter meetings are over. All the l0e8 jobs have been filled"
 Mysterious
 Lazzeri said he had no inkling e the action until he received the n0p tice from Mike McNally, club sec@ retary. He said he had no idea why they wanted to drop him.
 At Wilkes Barre, McNally said he advised Lazzeri to look for another job at the end of the 1o4S season because Cleveland Indian oflciais who control the franchise probably would want to install a man o1 their own choosing in the post.
 He said he felt that Lazzeri had been given fair warning and that the club was under no obligation inaSmuch as he had only Q one year contract.
 "As Q matter of fact we didn't hire him in l94S until April" AEc- Nally said. This is giving him three months before the baseball season starts"

 dollar for to get in. The next time he wants to use Charley Eagle, it'll cost him a SAWBUCK just to see Charleys picture in the PAPER" !"

This Sporting World
Boxing BeIIyIoueh
By JOHN A. CLUNEY

Last night at New Haven, some- body dug up another SOFT ONE for Julie Kogon, the local pride and joy of the Elm City, who, appar- ently is not supposed to lose main bout decision, for fear that the cash customers, such as they are will stay away forever and day. At least that is the apparent line of reasoning on the part of the matchmaker, when the fact is, that many New Haven fans go to the Arena fights just hoping against hope that some smart manager has sneaked in a fighter who will whale the tar out of Julius, for ONCE. Frankly, 1t will take a pretty good fighter to lick Kogan, and good fighters want good money, or, rather their MOUTHPIECES do.

From a report filed over Mother Bell Gas a well-known col- umnist so dearly loves to refer to the invention of Alexander Graham EelD this morning at 9:57, by Determined Dave Karess, the KOSHER half of Charley Eagles boxing board of strategy, I should judge that there was not too much money in the '1house" for, in response to Dave's request for a CHINA MAN (door-pass, Annie Oakley, free ride, etc.) the matchmaker SENT OUT one via an alert em- missary. Dave started in with 1t. but was grabbed like the last pound of butter at your favor ite store. It seems there was a SLIGHT CHARGE of 50 cents on the pass CD sent out to the man. ager of the main bout performer at the Arena, two or three weeks ago. who licked one of the New Haven favorites.

the present case, judgment. of the
effectiveness Of the paintings would
be less biased If they could be
shown without identification OF their
exact locales.

For example, Irwin Honman's
"First Aid to the Fallen" is markedly
effective, with its little group Of hos
pital corpsmen and casualty in the
foreground, and waves of troops
landing on a beach in the distance
When the spectator learns that the
beach Is near Camp Lejeune, N. c.,
and that it Is "make-believe" life

(as the men are training for actual
battle) he may feel that the paint
ing lacks a certain urgency. Or does
he merely imagine It?
Perhaps 1t does not matter. The

Judge the dramatic impact of the

ings play a minor role in the draw
ings and monotypes by Robert Lo-
veil. seaman first class, and De-
wolfe Hotchkiss, seaman second
class. on view at the Central Pub
lie Library through September 30.
The former has landscape, street
scenes, figures, animals and relig-
ious subjects, while Mr.. Hotchkiss
has made many studies Of football
as well as portrait heads and fig-
ures.
Both young artists prefer to pre-
sent their subjects as mere sug.
gestions, emerging vaguely from
shadowy backgrounds, rather than
to make fortnight statements. Tho
few instances in which they have
done the latter give q much bet
ter gauge of their respective tall
ents than do their monotypes, gen.
orally speaking.
Mr.. Hotchkiss' full-length crayon
portrait of . Cob" and his flowing
water-color Head of q Bedouin"
are among the better items In his
collection. Mr.. Lowell has devoted
himself almost entirely to mono
types, some In colors. His portrait
study of q young sailor Is one Of
his best works, Is are also two
small religious subjects, Christ

is occupying the special exhibition

It will remain through next Sunday.
Thirty-one prints in the collection
represent nine media-lithography,

aquatint. drypoint, linoleum and
wood block cutting and copper en-
craving. One regrets that this
technical variety is about the most
impressive feature Of the exhibition.
A majority of the prints are con-
servative and their subjects are
pleasant but, viewed as group,
they fail to arrest the attention,
in the writer's opinion.
There is subject as well as tech
nical variety, and number of pleas
ing and competent works can be sin
gled out of the collection. Among
these are Roselle Osk's dry-point

her solo exhibition of two years ago;

dynasty is doomed, they say, and
the struggle for power might plunge
the country into a blood bath in
the near future.
Yugoslavians Split.
In Yugoslavia, there are two fac
tions-the of1icial Tito party, which
is outside the country and is strong
ly supported by the British and Rus
sian governments, and the nation
alist Serbians, who are still follow
ing Gen. Iraja Mihailovich, the first
man to raise the standard of re-
bellion against the Germans and
who has lost the Allied support.
The various elements in Yugo-
slavia, Serbs, Slovenes, Creates, Dali
nations and Montenegrians, seem to
be satisfied with neither of the two
men and while some groups are fol-
lowing one leader or another, they
have all turned against King Peter.
Who will be able to control the guer-
rilla fighters in their hideouts in the
mountains Of Yugoslavia? After
hree-and-a-half years of German
occupation, during which hostages
and the populations of large areas
were massacred by the Nazis, these
people were never subdued. What
authority will replace the royal au-
thority which has now been shot to
pieces? And what will be the reac-
ton of the 10000, 900 Poles in the
event the peace arrangements are
not to their taste or If a govern
ment which they do not like is i'm
posed on them?
The people of Europe have been
starved. Many American observers
believe that the rushing of food sup
plies to all these areas might ease
the situation. But other observers
believe that food and other sup
plies will not improve the picture,
particularly In the case of the in
habitants OF the countries in East
ern and Southeastern Europe, where
living standards have always been
low and the national feeling has
always been high.
