1t Was Really Cold

An American and Scotchman
were discussing the cold experienced
in winter in the north of Scotland.
"Why, it's nothing at all compar-
ed to the cold we have in the States"
said the American. Il can recollect
one winter where sheep, jumping
from hillock into field, became
suddenly frozen on the way, and
stuck in the air like mass of ice"
But, man." exclaimed the Scotch
man, "the law of gravity wouldn't
allow that"
Il know that" replied the Amer
lean, "but the law of gravity was
frozen too"

Bosoro Next
 For L-uMottu

"He either knocks them down or knocks them out"
 For four years now, announcer Harry Balogh has been reciting this introduction with pain-staking reg ularity for Jose Basora, the Puerto Rican middleweight. Each time, Bas- ora would acknowledge the introduc- tion, departed from the ring and then the main bout would get under way.
 Years passed and as always. Bas- ora was hack for the glowing pre- sentation from Balogh, but nothing came of it. For one reason or other, Basora was never in the main bout.
 Last Friday night, Jose Basora was back in the Madison Square Garden ring, and this time, announcer Ba- logh could have changed his tune and said, "Jose Basora, the Puerto Rican middleweight who fights the rugged and aggressive Jacob LaMot- la in the main bout at the Garden Friday night.
 Balogh out of sheer force Of habit believed" Jose Basora, who either knocks them down or knocks them out"
 Basora didn't mind one bit. His frequent visits for the ring for in- troductions have not been in vain. He had arrived after all these years and Friday night, he gets his big chance.
 The bout with LaMotta is the out- come of his draw with Ray (Sugar) Robinson in Philadelphia recently. New Workers became conscious of Basora,s fistic presence after all these years.

3O,ooO Awoit Boston Race
BY LACK FROST

UnlteH Press Staff COfreSpOuucns
 Boston, Aug. 2 - (UP) - Despite the wartime ban on race horse transportation, crack field of g. year-olds go to the post at Suffolk Downs in the lengthening afternoon shadows tomorrow for the 1fth run ming of the $25. 900 Mayflower stakes before perhaps 30,000 fans.
 Appearing as if they had sprung from the ground like pixies were IA of the nations bettef thoroughbred youngsters who were listed as start- CTS in the spring that was being run for the first time over six furlongs-- a half -furlong increase over previous years.
 Four Charity Days
 The Mayflower highlights the first of four charity days that bring to a close the 54-iay season at the sea- side oval. By get-away-day Satur- day when the famed $50.000 Mass achusetts handicap is run, the cof- fers of the National War Fund. Inc. and other local charities will be probably $250,000 richer.
 From betting point of view this has been the most successful season in Suffolk Downs history with the average daily pari-mutuels handle exceeding $1 ,000 000. But from rac- ing point of view there have been disappointing days and fields.
 This, however. cannot be said or tomorrow's feature race since the entries appear as fine as the 2-year- old ranks have produced in years.
 Seemingly it will be duel for d. yisional honors between Max Wex- ler,s champion Filly Lady Gunner and air rate from the Fred Wyse stables.
 Both youngsters are favorites at the East Boston track. Lady Gunner has won four of her five starts in- cluding the Betsy Ross stakes. Air rate is unbeaten in three trips to the post and handily won the Myles Standisb stakes.
 Two Adams Entries
 Others in the equine band-any of whom might steal the show-are Cav Moonbeam and Harrier, the weston W. Adams entry, R. W. Col lins' General Don; J. c. Braswells Laboulaye; 0. B. Burghers token ad- vice; Steel Reign from the four star stables: T. B. Cromwell,s shifty play; H. c. Genter's Pay Me; Little Rollo and Stud Poker, the entry from Mrs. John D. Hertz's stable: the Reynolds Brothers Tascosa and Albert en- ezia's Mil Fl.
 First to win the Mayflower stakes in 1885 was Maeriel. Other victors in order were Airflame. Historic Era. Heather Time, Roman Flag. Blue Pair, Alsab, Through Bound. Coco pet and last years champion Pavot.

COACH HOPEFUL
 OF DEVELOPING WINNING ARRAY
By GEORGE T. DILLON

By GEORGE T. DILLON
 An anxious band of football hope fuls confident of earning regular places on the l045 Crosby High school football team will report for the first time to Coach Jimmy Lee at the Bunker Hill Stadium on the corner of Watertown avenue and East Aurora street, Friday evening of this week at 6:30 o'clock. w
 Six Regulars Graduate
 Knocked for a big loss by gradu- ation which saw six of his last years starters finishing their educations ai the East Main street institution ailc by military regulations which find, his captain-elect, John Reardon winner of the City Amateur Base. ball Leagues Teen-Age Poll, sign. ing up with the Marine Corps. was hard enough to take. but Coach Lee now has been informed that Johnny Bowler, stellar end, may enter St. Thomas Seminary in Bloomfield, and that Joe Garafola, husky guard who played every game last season, may enroll at Cheshire Academy.
 Lost by. graduation were Co-Cap- tain Paul Miller, end; Vic Danisay- age, elongated center; Co-Captail Bob Johnson, quarterback; Al Fisn- ang, running back, and Hal Perkins, end; colored lad who made quite a name for himself as a high school sprinter. M
 To offset these losses, Coach Lee is optimistic about the chances of building up strong team from the remainder of his 1914 squad, plus the many newcomers ticketed to turn out. He will have Jimmy Lat- timer and Jimmy Pickett, last years backs, on hand again in addition to Bernie Lawlor, an all-around conner, Joe Lombard and Randall Duphiney all ball toters and Mickie Nconon Nick Castartano, Chris Rogopolous, John Girdzauskas and Frank Nastri on the line.
 Georgie Perreault, who under studied Danisavage at center last year and who saw considerable action at that busy position, is ex- rected to be of great help to the Blue and White this season.
 Early Start
 Never before in the history of the classical institution has football practice started so early. Coach Lee figures to devote Friday evening to mostly getting acquainted and kicking and passing drills with scrimmage sessions being tabled un- til next week.
 No equipment vii be available to the candidates Friday as all of 1t is currently in the cleaners. Coach Lee will welcome all prospective candi- dates at Fridays session which will start at 6:3o and last an hour and a half.

South American Stars Bolster Nuvyss Soccer Teom, c0Iisto And Costono Great Players
By NEA Service

New York, The Good Neighbor policy is paysng dividends to the U. s. Naval academy in general and the Navy soccer team in pare ticular. It's one of the reasons why the Middies are expected to have another crack booting team during the coming season.
 Playing with Annapolis are g pair of booters from south Amer ica. One, Midshipman Arturo M. Calisto, has been rewarded for his starring role of the past two sea- sons by being elected captain of the navy squad. The other, Mid- shipman Joe M. Rodriguez Castano, has been so outstanding during his first year of play. with the Middies that he's assured of a varsity spot.
 The sharpshooting booting of 21- year-old Calisto has helped Navy take national collegiate hoiaors for the past two years with an unde- feated record of six victories and one tie in 1o43 and six triumphs and one setback last year. In 1943, Calisto accounted for B of Nays 31 goals while he was credited with 11h of the teams 30 in 1s44.
 Calisto came to Annapolis in 1943 as Peru's representative. Previous ly he attended the Peruvian Naval academy at La runta for more than two years before winning his ap- pointment. Upon graduation from Annapolis, he will return to his native land to receive commission as an officer in the Peruvian navy.
 The tall, wiry Calisto was select ed a member of the All-America team in 1943 and again in 1944. While he's permitted two more years of competition under wartime Na- tional Collegiate Athletic Associa- tion rules, the 1945 season probably will be Calisto's last at Annapolis. He's member of the class of l947 but the present accelerated pro- gram will enable him to be grad- uated in June, 1946.
 Soccer isn't the only sport in which Castano excells. He keeps in good physical condition during the booting off-season by partici- pating in gymnastics and basketball. Although the 20-year-old Bogota, Colombia. native has been at the academy only 8 year he's made a big hit with his fellow Middies be- cause of his curricular and extra curricular achievements as well.
 Having only a scant knowledge of the English language when he first arrived, Castatio improved to such an extent that he has even surpassed some of his American classmates in the English course. He stood first in the foreign lan- guage course out of more than 1000. midshipmen in his class.
 A master of the rhumba, the dark haired Castano is unofficial profess sor of that dance for his classmates and also appeared in a rhumba presentation of the recent academy musical show.
 Castano, or Joe, as he's been nicknamed by his classmates, en- tered Annapolis in June. 1o44. His previous knowledge ot soccer and his great skill in that sport im- mediately won him . place on the Navy varsity. However, if the pres- ent wartime course is continued, he'll be graduated in 1947, after which hell receive . commission as ensign in the Colombian navy. When that happens he hopes to be assigned to destroyer duty.
