sweeney, Cannon Go
Is Anticipated Here

Big unanswered question of the
winter boxing season here has
been-when will Frank Sweeney and
Joe Cannon meet In a showdown
bout? The lads now are close to
the same weight and have come
along on parallel winning streaks.
Sweeney has blasted out 10 straight
KO wins, Cannon has won nine de-
cisions In a row, and no one has
come along to challenge their posi-
ton as box Office cards.
Today, Promoter Joe Turner ad-
mitted that he is attempting to
make the match for a Grif1th Sta
dium show this summer, but Joe and
Matchmaker Gabe Menendez are
running into difficulties. The young
sters were amateur teammates, al
ways have been on friendly terms,
and their handlers are wary of a
showdown that might slow down one
Of the boys.
Sweeney, who packs dynamite in
both fists, and Cannon, one Of the
cleverest young boxers ever de-
veloped here, plan to put another
notch in their belts Monday night
at Turner's Arena. Sweeney meets
Nick Manfredo of Baltimore, in one
of set Of four eight-rounders on
the all-star bill, while Cannon goes

Big league players have responded
quickly to the decision of the War

them to leave their war plant jobs
to return to baseball.
Just one day after the ruling went
into effect, no fewer than 81 players
either reported to their teams train

their intentions to report.
The Chicago Cubs Bill Nicholson,
National League leader In home runs
and runs batted in for the past two
years; Frank Crosetti, shortstop of
the New York Yankees, and Catcher
Mike Garbark, also of the Yankees,
were among those who said they
would leave their defense jobs.
Nicholson works in a shipyard in
Chestertown, Md; Crosetti is en-
ployed by a shipyard in Stockton,
Calf, and Garbark is leaving a de-

Western NCAA Courl
Play Opens Tonight
Without Favorite
By the Associated Press.

KANSAS CITY, Mar. .23.-There's
something new in basket ball COM
ing up at the Western NCAA play
offs starting tonight-a tournament
without a favorite.
It's those travel restrictions. The
boys just haven't been able to get
around to scout opposition $500
miles from their home base.
Take John A. Warren, Oregon
coach, for example. His Webfoots,
veterans Of Al games, open the play
offs in game with Arkansas. But
this is the first time Warren and
his charges have ventured away
from the Pacific Coast.
The other game, matching Utah
and Oklahoma Aggies, is just as
puzzling. Utah has no player left
from last season.
Scoring averages would seem to
give Arkansas an edge, 582 eoints
a game. Utah. defending NCAA
champion, has 81 to about SO plus
for Oregon and Oklahoma Ags. But
considering their diverse opposition
there's some question as to what
if anything-averages of this sort
mean.

also get you a mess of perch and
catfish. And if you are fortunate

Because OF the meager details
furnished by the United States
Army Engineers in their report of
February IA, our good friend DR..

Survey Typographical maps of the
area affected and a planimeter, have
been able to develop a much clearer
picture of the proposed postwar

Isl to, be constructed in the Potomac
RiverA Basin.
The River Bend reservoir alone
would create a lake approximately
40 miles long with surface area of
some $4,000 acres when at normal
power pool level" The maximum
width of this pool, about 212 miles,
would be above Seneca, Md. where
at maximum level it would flood
some 5000 acres from the lower
end of Lower Island to the mouth
of Goose Creek This takes in all
the Broad Run, Sugarland Run and
Beaver Dam Run basins in Virginia
anu UllC oCllCCd SlCCh odSlll Ill
Maryland The Seneca Creek Basin
will be flooded normally up Little
Seneca to distance of nearly 2
miles north of the Jamestown
Jacksonville road, and Great Seneca
Greek will be flooded approximately
2 miles east of its junction with
Little Seneca.
At flood elevation, or the 246-foot
level, this pool would flood the
Monocacy Basin clear above Fred
erick, Md, and at normal pool level
to just below Frederick. At normal
level approximately 1,480 acres will
be covered in the Monocacy Valley
and at surcharged flood level ap-
proximately 2,910 acres. The maxi
mum ''drawdown" would put the
Monocacy practically back into its
original banks, leaving mud flats in
this beautiful valley of some $500
to 1900 acres.
