Local Youths To Bott1o
On Wilson-Bowden Card

The preliminary bouts on the
Bill Wilson-Jim Bowden fight card
Saturday night at $3.50 in the Am
erican Legion Indoor Arena will
be filled by some of Wilmington's
youthful pugilists, it was announ-
ced Tuesday night. Handling the
six supporting bouts are grammar
and high school youngsters. This
city probably has on hand now
more talented young boxers than
at any time since the late Father
Manly played such a major part in
the development of youthful fight
ers.

two boxers from the Lake Forest
team, are scheduled to encounter

aid Russ, hard-punching light
weight, and Billy Dew, a Brigade
welterweight, will take on two
Maffitt Village leather singers.
AS an added attraction TO these
scraps colored Battle Royal has
been arranged. The winner of this
free-for-all affray will receive
$500, and the action is expected
to be extremely fast.
The featured Wilson-Bowden
fight will be of especial signifi-
canoe, for several reasons. It is
reported that various local fight
fans feel that the smuggling Will
son has never met worthy op-
ponent here and that his knock
out victories have come from en-
gaging mediocre pugs who were
not capable of giving him tough
fight. A win from Wilson over the
rugged Bowden would certainly
dispel such thoughts. as the husky
Indian is ranked as one Of the
best heavyweights in the South.
Another angle of the fight is that

NEW YORK, March T. Up IT
used to be fun to try to pick the
winners of the major league races,
but this year it's eight times as
much fun, as instead of picking
two teams and being stuck with
them, you now can pick eight
teams in each league, and you're
bound to be right somewhere along
the line.
The only thing you have to be
careful about is not to pick more
than one team in the same league
on any one day. Otherwise you're
perfectly safe, as the scene
changes so rapidly you can just
preface your selection with the
words "as of today" Your selec-
ton might lose some valuable men
overnight and the next day you
can name another team.
Not so long ago we wrote one
of those las of today" pieces and
picked the Cincinnati Reds in the
national league. Since tEen several
things have happened, chiefly to
the Red pitching staff, and they
don't look like the shoo-in they did
then.
In fact. our current "as of to-
day" selection is the Chicago cubs,
who on paper stack up as rousfng
team even for normal year. They
have an impressive list of veter-
ans, including an entire infield, and
they have skinned more than
their share of the cream from the
minor crop. So good are some of
these new lads that the vets are
going to have tough time holding
their jobs, and that's quite an I'M
usual situation in a year when it's
not a question of the man to play
third base but a man to play third
base.
To begin with the cubs have
three outfield candidates each OF
whom batted in 100 or more runs
last year. The veteran Bill Nichol-
son knocked in 1913 for the Bruins,
Andy Pafko drove home 116 for Los
Angeles while batting 1853, and Ed
Sauer accounted for an even 100
as he hit 1868 for Nashville.
Pafko and Sauer are rockies, of
course, but those are impressive
performances even if they were
playing against the Elm street Tt
gers, which they weren't. The cubs
still have peanuts Lowrey and Ival

Bagby Is Only Stubborn
Holdout In Big Leagues
BY HAROLD CLAASSSEN

NEW YORK, March 7.-H-Vir
tually the only avowed holdout a.
major league baseball shows the
first signs of awakening from its
winter Information is Jim Bagby
of the Cleveland Indians.
A major league survey by the
Associated Press today reveals
that while Washington and Pitts
burgh are the only clubs which
could field a complete squad at
this time none of the remaining
outfits anticipates trouble signing
its hirelings despite a few rum
blings to the contrary.
While Bagby probably wouldn't
object to more Of the Cleveland
gold, his primary reason for not
having signed in his distaste for
playing out another season under
Manager Lou Boudreau. And that's
not likely to happen. Only physi-
cal examination stands between
Bagby and the maritime service
Ind Boudreau is IA in the draft.
Luis Dino, fleet centerfielder,
md RUDE Melton, squire OF the
missing acres ranch in the Caro-
iinas, are two of the old-style hold
outs and are asking more money
from the Brooklyn Dodgers.
Dino, wintering in Puerto Rico
reportedly was offered $4,000 and
is asking $4,000 after hitting 1903
for the Brooks in 81 games last
fall. Eleven of the 80 names on
the Brooklyn roster also appear
on the signed contracts in Branch
Rickey's offio safe.
Thirty-five Senators have agreed
to terms and President Clark Grit
fifth says two of the remaining
three players are pitchers I'm not
counting on in team plans and l
am sure I'll have no trouble getting
together with Stan Spence the only
other player unsigned"
Biggest problem at St. Louis ap-
pears to make Morton Cooper ace
pitcher happy. He's indicated that
he could both smile and pitch for
$175OO-an increase of $4,000 and
owner Sam Breadon says he anti
cipates no difficulty.

WILDCATS READY
FOR WHILRWlNDS
BY WEDDELL HARR1ss

After a brief workout yesterday
afternoon. at the Thirteenth and
Ann street field. the New Hanover
Wildcats packed up their orange
and black uniforms in preparation
for the trek to Whiteville today,
where they will encounter the Co.
lumbus County Whirlwinds at $3.50
o'clock this afternoon. \
The Whiteville eleven, under the
tutorage of Coach E. P. Brinkley,
suffered a 28,6 defeat last year
at the hands of the Wildcats. How
ever, Cat mentor Rupert Bryan
warned that the Whirlwinds should
not be taken lightly.
The Cat attack will be spear
headed by speedy little Jack Low
rimore with hard-plunging fullback
Winford Sutton in the backfield,
and 200 pound tackle John Hobbs.
The complete lineup for the New
Hanover eleven will f i n d Louis
Hanson, 100 pound senior. at left
end; 2O5 pound senior Bobby Ashe-
worthe, left tackle; 176 pound jun
ior Erwin Gore, left guard; Norris
Monk, 155 pound senior at the CEN
ter position; 100 pound senior Bob
Strickland, right guard; John
Hobbs, 200 pound junior, r g h t
tackle; Charlie Jones, so pound
senior, right end. This gives the
line an average of approximately
1T pounds.
The backfield includes joltin'
Johnny Symnes who will start the
game in the quarterback slot, tip
ping the scales at 160 pounds, and
who parts his hair 5 feet II inches
from the ground; Winford Eyes"
Sutton, galloping 172 pound senior
fullback. who is an excellent brok-
en- field runner.
Jumpin' Jack Lowrimore, $50
hound senior, who broke through
last year for many long gains on
his speedy reverses, and who is
also outstanding on defense, will
start the game at Wingback; and
Wedden Harriss, 100 pounds, 5 feet
10 inches, will start in the block
ing back position.
It was a difficult task for Coach
Bryan to choose between tailbacks
Johnny Symnes and Bubha Sykes
for the starting berth, but due tc
Synnes' superior experience, ne
received the nod. So.

In Rotan, Tex, Baugh said he
would "do as the draft board says"

play football.
One reason for optimism here
that -Baugh may play is the fact
that he is over 30, has two CHILD

WASHINGTON, Sept. I'll R =
The dismayed Washington Red
skins and their fans kept their fin
gers crossed tonight over reports
that Sammy Baughs draft board
might insist that he stay on his
Texas ranch this fall.
George M h l, Redskins
president, said he knew that
Baugh. the Mr.. Big of Washing.
tons national professional football
league entry, had been given per-
mission to play football only until
Oct. l.
What happens after that is a
matter strictly between Baugh and
his draft board, Marshall said. but
left no doubt that he is hanging
on to the hope that Slingin' Sam
my will be around when the Red
skins open their league season win
the Philadelphia Eagles Oct. ..
The big question m k over
Baugh's football future developed
when the Washington Post pub
