This Sporting World
Phooey For the A.A.U.
By JOHN A. CLUNEY

With characteristic hypocrlcy, the AhU may cancel Rev. Gil Dodds in- door mile record of 4:064 made LAST YEAR, now that the AAU can NO LONGER USE the Boston divinity student who preferred to do the Lords work rather than continue running against 0under Hagg, of Sweden, and make plenty of the money for an organization, that in my respects, is as PHONEY as Q LEAD NICKEL,
 The annual meeting of the AAU is in the month of December, If the mark was NC because of technic- ality, in that the track on which the world record was made, diI not have CURBING, allegedly giving the run- ner an advantage; why was the matter ignored until this time to be considered NEXT Decemberp Could 1t be that the big shots in the AAU are peeved at Rev. Dodds because he would net walt for the Hagg, the Swede to come to this country again, preferring to get on with his LIFE WORK rather than continue his RECREATION? The AAU (Amateur Athletic Union) is the same outfit heuded or formerly head: by Avery B:undage, the gentleman who re- marked that the LAPS AND GER MANS should be welcomed WITH OPEN ARMS at the next Olympics.

Negro BoseboII
 Issue In Boston

Boston, March 13. - (UP) - The racial issue may have bearing on the future of Sunday baseball in both American and National League ball parks here.
 For the second consecutive year, City Councillor Isadore H. Y. Much- nick yesterday submitted resolu- ton prohibiting Sabbath baseball in Boston unless Negroes are permitted to play on major league teams. .
 The resolution which was referred to the councils rules committee probably will be fully debated when the Braves and Red Sox apply TOT Sunday permits.
 Last year, Muchnick's attempt to institute such 6 law was defeated IS to four by the same council However, one of the proponents. John F. Kerrigan, now is mayor of the city and has the authority to deny the licenses without asking the councils approval.

VVVVVVVVV Odds And Ends

City Amateur League managers will get the lowdown on the Muni- clpal Stadium situation for the sum- mer up to the present time, when they meet with President Bill Der win tomorrow night, 9:30 PM in the RIA sports department. Boxing Manager George Sheppard, told the Bridgeport Herald that he has In- dian Gomez in the main go at Wa terbury March l6 which is Friday night of this week; though that Is news to the local newspapers, and to Promoter George Mulligan who has been trying to put in ono Buck ingham Hall show before the out- door season, but cannot get an at- trGctive main bout. Gus Nell, the Montreal lad who defeated Water- bury's New England lightweight champ. Benny Singleton, was Q 4 to 1 favorite last night to defeat hard hitting Jerry zullo of Chelsea; b ut the bell couldn't save Nell in the very first round when he was knock cd as cold as landlords heart be- fore the OPA stepped in. ,. Nick Tronsky Is still "in there" rolling but missed $i00 first place money in the Thomaston Recreation Sweeps last Sunday, by plenty of pins; Har- " Peters taking 1t with STA for g games, an average of almost 146, Nick won $50 runner-up money with 843. If Torrington's Connie Don- ahue contacts Waterbury's Pete Dunn at the Boston Bond clothing store; he might get hotel accomo- dations for the NE hoop tourney, opening Thursday. In fact, his chances are real good. Failing that, there is always Colonel Dave Egan, who has more Hub connections than the Mayor Tobin. George Curley, Tom Garrity and "Red" Pilch, Washington Hill pals of bygone baseball days, met on Pacific is- land not long ago, and may get to- gether again at home If their fur loughs coincide within the next mcnth or so. Bill Curley, brother of George, and sons of Ed Curley, sec- retary of the Waterbury 40 Is also in the Pacific cn an LST boat, which is no child's play as any of the Navy boys well know.
