Boston Dog Fight
Over Doc Tracks

Boston, April 1-(UP)-The Mass
achuSetts State Racing Commission
was charged today by the Hancock
Associ" ties, Inc, of Boston with be-
ing "actuated by political consider
atoms in denying the group the
right to operate a dog racing track
in the Berkshire county town Of
Hancock.
A petition for a writ of mandamus
returnable April IL, was filed by the
dogmen in superior court yesterday
which sought to have the court re-
verse the decision Of commission
chairman Charles j. Connors and
members Bayard Tuckerman Jr. of
Boston and Harold r. Allen of
Brockton.
Atty. Thomas d. Lavelle, counsel
for the Hancock Associates, said
that the denial of the application
last March % on grounds Of war
conditions" was "Subterfuge. In
tended by the racing commission to
mask the real influences governing
it's decision"
improper influence!
The commission already has ap-
proved 200 dog racing dates, the
number allowed by law, for estab-
hshed tracks at Revere, Dighton,
and Raynham. But Lavelle contend
ed that in granting these dates and
denying the Hancock group the
commission was Improperly in
fluenced by incumbents of offices
in the state government and their
friends"
He charged in the petition that
the commission has been "lmprop-
erly influenced. To grant licenses to
conduct dog race meetings only to
corporations which directly or in
directly made gifts of their capital
stock without consideration to such
persons"
The application for a license was
bitterly opposed by Hancock and
Pittsfield residents during a hear
ing several weeks ago.

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
New York, April 1.-(UP)-1t
doesn't pay to be polite in the ring.
Juan zurita Of Mexico City discov-
cred this last night in his bout with
that brown ruffian, Beau Jack.
,zurita, who has been fighting for
more than decade, should have
known this. But perhaps he let
his Latin code Of department come
to the fore in his first New York
appearance.
zurita, who Is recognized as light
weight champion by the National
Boxing Association, went in for
etiquette in the fifth round of his
non-title brawl with brown skinned
Beau Jack. Midway in this session
Beau Jack was backed into the
ropes with such vigor that his head
bobbed through the top strand and
was caught here.
Instead Of trying to belt Beau out
onto the ring apron, Swarthy, dark
haired Zurita stepped back and per-
m1tted Jack to extricate himself
Then Zurita raised his gloves to
press them against the gloves of
Beau Jack in the traditional gesture
Of craftsmanship when one oppon-
ent has refused to take unfair
advantage Of another.
Unfortunately, however, Beau
Jacks gloves were not there to meet
1urlGas appraised mittS. Instead,
6eau saw a right shovel-hook into
acn1ta's belly that almost buckled
tne lad from below the Rio Grande.
And quicker than you could say
"a dirty trick" Beau followed this
blow with barrage Of smashes to
the body that drove zurita across
the ring to the opposite ropes.
In that march across the ring,
zurita suffered body punishment
that apparently slowed him to a
walk. When Beau Jack took adj
vantage of zurita's gesture of polite
neSS-of sportsmanship-they had
been fighting on even terms, &C
cording to the United Press score
sheet. Each had won two rounds.
After that, the Mexican champ
faded until he began to recover
gradually in the eighth and ninth.
And Juan was really rolling in the
10th, which he won by a wide mar
gin.
zurita's mistake of politeness in
the fifth round was no mistake. APP
parently. His stablemate Enrique
Bolanos, q young featherweight of
Mexico City, made a similar gesture
during his six round bout with Will
lie Roache, a wild-swinging Negro
from Wilmington, Del When Roache
was dumped to the canvas, young
Bolanos stepped forward and tried
to help him to his feet-instead of
going to a neutral corner. For
tunately for Bolanos, cache did not
swing as he rose. BolanoS won the
decision with ease.
Zurtta did not win the decision.
He was fighting rough, tough bat
tle-royal better. He was fighting

zURTTA PROVES-El
TOUCH RING FOH!
FOR BEAU JACK
BY JACK CUDDY
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent

New York, April /. - Cup -
Celebrating his sd birthday today,
brown skinned Beau Jack had an
other colorful feather in his battle
bonnet - a non-title 10-round VIC
tory over Juan Zurita of Mexico
City, who Is recognized as light
weight champion by the National
Boxing Association.
Beau Jack, the former bootblack
Of Augusta, Ga, who became the
most fabulous fighter Of the war era,
won the unanimous decision over
switch-hitter Zurita before 1883
fans in Madison Square Garden last
night with a experimentation at
tack that would not be denied.
However, game Zurita was coming
back so menacingly in the 10th
round that 1t was uncertain who
would have won had the bout been
slated for the championship dis
lance of Is rounds.
Because the stocky, long-faced
Mexican faded after the fifth ses-
sion, Beau Jack won the unanimous
decision of the three ring officials
and was credited by the United
Press with seven rounds, against
three for Juan.
Made A Million
The near-capacity crowd provided
gate of $87,802. This brought to
81, 035, 279 the total gates attracted
by Jack in 10 Garden main events,
and made him ON his 23rd birthday
a million dollar fighter.
The crowd got a thrill for its
money in the early rounds as zurita
fought on even terms with the
Georgia Negro. But the bout was so
dull from the fifth to the ninth
that the fans were yelling for action.
zurita faded in the fifth, after re-
ceiv1ng an unexpected right hook in
the body when he politely raised his
arms to let Beau extricate himself
from the ropes. Not until the ninth
did zurita rally; and he won the
10th by wide margin. Beau ap-
parently had punched himself out.
Zurita, who wrested the National
Boxing Associations version of the
lightweight crown from Sammy An
gott on March 8, did some switch

WHITE SOX ARE
KEEN THREAT
FOR '44 TITLE

(This is the fourth Of a series
Analysing prospects Of Major League
baseball teams.)
BY BOB MEYER
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
Chicago, April 1-UP)-Starting
his 18th season as Chicago White
Sox manager, Jimmy Dykes was
putting his big cigar with added
satisfaction today in anticipation OF
a possible American League cham
pionship.
Hit where 1t hurts by the loss OF
Shortstop Luke Appling, league
batting king, and veteran pitcher
Ted Lyons, the White Sox never
theless present a distinct threat.
Their pennant chances will hinge
chiefly on Dykes roster that in
cludeS IA ATS, four men discharg-
ed from the service and one limited
service player-Pitcher Bill Diet
rich.
TrOSky Should Help
The Sox look particularly strong
in the infield and pitching depart
ments. The greatest shot in the
arm came when Hal Trosky return
ed to his first base position with a
At rating, but his worth is yet to
be tested.
Jimmy Webb, At, utility infield-
er last year, is Appling's shortstor
replacement. and Tony Cuccinellc
(4-F is waging a battle for second
base spot with Leroy Schalk, from
the Little Rock team. Grey Clarke
who batted .346 for Milwaukee last
year, has a strangle-hold on third
base, but the army has a similar
hold on him.
Buck Ross. Orval Grove, Ed Lo-
pat, Bob Mistele and AL Wittmer
are At pitchers. Together with
Thornton Lee and Johnny Humph-
ries, LAS, they will aid Dykes in
opening the season with at least
six starting hurlers.
Three out of four Sox catchers
are ATS, with Mike fresh due fol-
army induction soon. Tommy Tur-
ner has the inside rail for the start
ing role, with Vince Casino and
Junior Thaxton for relief.
Although the regular outfield
from last season is back for action
Dykes problems increase when he
looks past the infield. Guy Curt
right, Thurman Tucker and Wally
Moses. the regulars, are la. Ralph
Hcdgin, who also is a top candi-
date for a starting spot, also is la
However, Myril Hoag, the former
Yankee, Is back from the army with
a medical discharge and Hal Quail

Johnny Dickshot (4-F) and &c
Garrett DAD, two hard-hittine
rockies, add to the Sox available
