plus a versatility which is linn
tied only to wearer's own ideas
of what to do with what She S
got.
Typical styles in these under
statement clothes are shown in
the tn ee models sketched
above. The white wine master
wool gabardine suit with lum-
Der jack top that buttons on to
a skirt can be made to look as
starkly simple as shift under
coat or furs, or tricked out in
dashing accessories, like those
shown, it will steal the spot
light wherever it goes.
The black wool cape suit,
shown center, owes its arch ele-
gance to good line and fine fab
ric, both classic enough to sur
vive any vagaries of fashion.
Any blouse woman happens to
have can spell the handsome
black crepe which, as shown, is
printed with distinctive medal
lion design patterned after old
Roman coins. The cape is basic
enough to use as wrap over
light summer dresses.
The basic dress shown right
can 60 anywhere and take or

lifts the curse of banality off this

of dividing its bodice and mis-
matching it's sleeves with strik-
ing black and white shadow

This is Peps first pop at Ter ranoVa. but he twice beat Sal Bartolo, present incumbent of the NBA. featherWeight throne, and SandWiched in victory over Jackie Wilson, another N B. A. feather champ, in l943, before en- tering the U s. Navy.
 Despite all this, Pep is official ly the champion only in New York, Pennsylvania and Connecti- cut, because the N. B. A. didn't recognize his triumphs over it's members as championship con tests.
 The main point of dissenslon between the N B. A. and. the New York commission is that when one body recognizes a fight between couple of their differ ent champions as title bout, the other declines to grant 1t such recognition. Hence two champions in certain divisions.
 PEP LOST ONE IN 86
 The sawed-off, Terranova won bAit A'' AD. n' ACdGlICl WClBllL pionship from Jack Callura, did a good job Of it, too, for he knock ed out the combatant fram Hamil- ton, Ont, three times running in 1943, big year for that title.
 Previous to his first engagement with Calura, Terranova was flat tened in five rounds by Chalky Wright, Mexican-born Negro, Nov. 20, 1942
 Willie Pep. 5-5 1-2 and 9 years of age, is an Italian-American whose real name is William Papaleo. He lost only one fight in 86, an over the-weight affair with Sammy Angott. He hasn't otherwise been held even.
 Tn addition to the knockout suf- fered at the fists of Wright, Ter ranova, 5-2, 25 and also ol Italian percentage, lost six other bouts out of 40 and boxed three draws.
 Terranova acquired the N.B.A. championship. Aug. 16 1943, by knocking out Callura in eight. lost 1t to Sal Bartolo, 1une 8, l944, in Boston.

Echoing the senti- ments of Babe Ruth, expressed at the New Haven dinner of the Con- necticut Sport. riters Alliance, when the one and only Babe came out flatly for MT. Weiss as a new Lan- dis; MT.

 One would think 1t was a LEAD PIPE CINCH to pick the winner of a horse race and then collect the winnings; judging by Bay State fans, who left ne4rly $330,OOO behind in uncashed winning tickets during the past 10 years.

Well, 1t seems that under the state LAW, 1t remains with the POOR, DOWNTRODDEN RACING ASSO- CAPTIONS who run Uhe races, clip the customers and keep the BREAK AGE money that belongs to the buy CTS of tickets on win, place and show horses.

Robinson Stops Costner In One

Chicago, Feb. IS - (U.P0 - Ray (Sugar) Robinson, New York's spin dle-legged Harlem Hurricane, em- phasized his bid for championship match against welterweight King Freddie (Red) Cochrane today with his stunning one-round knockout over promising George (Sugar) Costner, scored at the Chicago Sta dium last night in 2:55 minutes.
 Paging Cochrane Is an old custom for Robinson, who has been gun ming for the red-haired champ ever since he whipped Sammy Angott, the lightweight king, and Fritzie Zlvic, the former welterweight utl- ist.
 With smashing left hook, Robin son blasted the 2l-year-old Cincin- natl better to the canvas in 2:55 minutes for his Sand victory in 53 professional fights and his 141st triI umph in 142 fistic engagements. The Negro 147-pounders lured 20. l93 fans into the stadium for the heralded Sugar Brawl." but after two min- utes of sparring, Robinson cut the scheduled 10-round show short with lightning left hook flush to Cost ner's jaw.

QUINN QUITS AS BRAVES BOSSON
 75TH BIRTHDAY

Boston, Feb. 15-(UP)-J. A. Rob- ert (Bob )Quinn, who in 20 years of Boston baseball never has had a team finish in the first division, has quit as president of the Boston Braves so he can build up talent in the minor leagues.
 Marking his 18th birthday yeSter- day, Quinn announced that he was stepping out as director of Boston's National league team and that his 37-year-old son John would assume the reins as general manager. John Quinn has been secretary of the club.
 The elder Quinn said that he had been reappointed as president of the Braves at the close of last sea- son but had refused the post. He agreed, however, to remain on duty until after the major league meet ings this month.
 Having been informed of the owners ambitious postwar ideas to build up the Braves, told them they couldn't realize their plans un- less they greatly expanded their minor league organization and I suggested that might do them more good handling that end of it than l could by remaining as pres ident," Quinn said.
 Much Help Needed
 we've agreed that we must own or have a working agreement with a club in Class A, that we need another Class A club in addition to Hartford, Conn, another Class B club in addition to Evansville, Ind, two or three Class c clubs and as many Class D clubs as we can han dle."
 Thus with three quarters of a century behind him, Quinn said he would take to the rural areas and try to get these clubs. He said he'll hunt the bushes for the most prom ising youngsters and try to sign them for the Braves farm teams.
 Third Oldest
 Quinn has been an official ir baseball for total of 28 years with the St. Louis Browns, Brooklyn Dodgers and both the Boston teams Red SoX and Braves. He's been in organized baseball in some capa- city for 58 years and only Connie Mack of the Philadelphia Athletics and Clark Griffith of the Washing ton Senators rank with him in point of service.
 His son John, father of five chil- dren, played baseball at Boston col lege and joined his father in the Red SoX office when he was gradu- ated in 1929 John remained with the Red SoX when his father sold that team to Tom YaWkey and moved to the Dodgers. Later, when his dad returned to the Braves as president John moved to the Ma tional league club as secretary.

 LeaVenWorth, winners of of S Naugatuck Valley League games to date in its first season with the A" teams, will be the lone local repre- sentative in the state tournament; Crosby, having missed the boat when defeated in Naugatuck last night, 20-2l, after leading most of the way.
 Good Start

Of 1L free-throws, Crosby made but 3; the winners getting of 22 from the penalty line.

(Reg. U. s. Pat. Of.) By JACK CUDDY
United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Stan Correspondent
 New York, Feb. 15-UP)--Admir- able are the optimism and t,4termin- ation of old Bob Dunn. At 75 he steps down from the presidency of the Boston Braves to concentrate his efforts on their farm system. He hopes thereby to build up first division club, after g long years With second-diVision outfits.
 Not since 1922, his great season With the St. Louis Browns, has a quinn team in either major league finished in the upper bracket Dur Ing that period he was an executive With the Boston Red SoX, Brooklyn Dodgers and Boston Nationals.
 Honest Bob lost his life savings With the Red SoX during nine heart breaking seasons from 1923 through 32. Most men would have quit base ball then. But not the Irish game cock-not the pint-sized, gray haired eX-catcher who looked through his spectacles at life with challenge in his eye and with chin held high. He stuck with the sport because of his love for the game and his faith in it. Also because of his determination to repeat the tri- umphS of his early career with the Browns and with Columbus of the American Association. But success In the standings evaded him.
 He announced his decision to step down from the Braves presidency yesterday, his 18th birthday. He had been proxy of the Braves since '36.
 Far from being disgusted or dis appointed with baseball, old Bob is ever grateful to the sport for what 1t did for him. He explained this in a chat during the recent league meetings. He was born in Colum- bus, O., back in l870-"just poor Irish kid, who had little chance for an education and who probably would have wound up laborer, were 1t not for baseball. The game gave me an education through con- tactS with persons I'd never have been able to meet in any other pros fession-and through travel. It lifted me up and made 1t possible for me to bring up my family prop erly.
 Certainly I've had my disappoint- ments; but that wasn't the games fault. No sir, baseball has been mighty good to me; and I appre- ciate it."
 Quinn will be happy working with farm clubs-Superyising the devel- opment of young players. He has his own pet theories about training youngsters, particularly in the lower minors. He believes that the major Leagues must pay more attention to youth, after peace comes, to improve the game. Tn the past, the majors made double -barreled mistake, he says. They failed to make certain that managers in the lower minors had enough baseball savvy and in- terest In youngsters to develop prop erly new talent. And they failed to simulate base ball interest in high schools and colleges, in competition with football.
 Did Quinn ever go to college? Not exactly, although he was a "Collegian" once. That was back around 1899, when he already had professional experience in the bushes" The late Ernest s. Bar nard-one-time president of the American League-then was ath- letic director at Otterbein College of Westerville, Ohio. Otterbein played siff opponents. It was Bar rards custom to dig up a hired battery for key games. He would
