 S1, ,OOO Wor Bond

Corpus Christi. Tex Feb. 5- fUP) Byron Nelson, the Torrid Toledoan, added tie for world record to his golfing achievements today, and if he hadn't gone con servatiye in his final winning round of the Corpus Christi Open he might have set mark that would have stood for years.
 Nelson captured first prize of a $1 .00O War Bond yesterday and equalled a mark set by Craig Wood of Mamaroneck, N. Y, in 1940 by finishing a 72 holes tournament in 264 strokes.
 The Ohio links marvel played his third round yesterday morning in 65, five under par, but elected to play it safe from then on and had an even par 70 for his final Is holes.
 The mark will not be recognized by the Professional Golfers asso- ciation, however. because the Corpus Christi layout is less than 5000 yards long and special teeing of rules were in effect.
 He was four strokes ahead of his old rival Harold CJug) McSpaden the ex-Kansan now playing out of Sanford. Me. who finished second Of 268. Sam Schneider, the host professional and Ky Lafoor of Chi cago finished in third place tie with cards of 269.
 Fred Haas. Jr.. Of New Orleans and Ed Furgol of Detroit were the low amateurs with 272 totals.

 A capacity turnout saw the game which resulted in Pete Foleys lads taking sole ossession of first place in the valley scramble. Trailing by four points as the last canto got underway, the garnet and grey real ly came to life with vengeance and used their speed to outWit the Tech defense.

New York, Feb. 5-CUP)-Two metropolitan basketball coaches. George (RedD Wolfe of Long Island university and Nat Holman of City College, angrily denounced Mayor F. H. LaGuardia today for his charges in a radio broadcast that the practice of bribing athletes was widespread.
 Tt just happened that Brooklyn College was the school that got caught" LaGuardia said in his regular weekly radio address yes- terday, referring to the scandal which involved five Brooklyn players in a bribery deal with gamblers to throw a game with Akron univer- Sity.
 "It is not right to pop of like this unless he had evidence and even then, it is tough thing to prove" Wolfe said.
 Holman insisted that the mayor made his remarks without "factual evidence"
 "He must have had his coffee out of the saucer to have said thing like that" Holman said.
 LaGuardia said that newspapers were partly to blame for the bas- ketball scandal by giving encour- agement to gamblers"

 IN ARENA 60
 THIS EVENING

New Haven, Feb. 5 - Willie Pep, worlds featherweight champion and Whistling Willie Roache will tangle in the feature 10-round bout at the Arena here tonight - and Roache isn't the only one who thinks he can win.
 Based on Pep's recent showing against the unknown and unrated Ralph Walton of Canada, the pow erful armed Roache is given more than an outside chance of winning tonight. If he does he might put the "spoiler" on Pep's forthcoming match with Phil Terranova at Mad ison Square Garden.
 In the event something does hap pen to upset the New York plans, Garden Promoter Mike Jacobs does mt intend to be left out in the cold. He'll be on hand tonight to See the bout, and along with him will be his Matchmaker Nat Rogers. Terranova also plans to sit at the ringside.
 Roache, rated fourth on the list of the nations featherweightS, can t hope to outbox Pep and his only chance is in outslugging him. The prospects of a good scrap have ex- cited the interest of New England and New York ring fans and 8 brisk advance sale is reported, so much so that the gate is expected to pass the $10,O00 mark.
 Three six-rounders and a four, the latter opening the program at 8:30, are listed for the undercard. In the semi-final spot Charley How ard of New York faces Freddie Po- lowitzer of Hartford. In the other two sizes Maurice Levine of Can ada opposes Kenny James of Wa terbury, and Joey Wasnick of New Haven fights Al Sterling of New | York

ChemeI Choice To Top LyteII

Boston. Feb. 5-(UP) - Henry Chemel, the poleaxing Pole from Portland, Me, was slightly favored tonight to halt the fistic surge of Bert Lytell of Fresno, Cal, when they meet for the second time this year in a 10-round bout at Boston Garden.
 Because of his weight, experience and power Chemel was finding fa- vor among the wagering Gentry who believe that the former Polish amateur middleweight king is one of the best of the rings attractions outside the armed services.
 If their first meeting is any cri- terion, tonight's match shoSld be a bloody duel concluded by knock out. Chemel, who shortened his name from Chmielewski so teachers would have less trouble addressing his son in school, won the decision but Lytell was coming fast in the late rounds.
 In justice to Chemel it should be said that he fought Lytell in their initial bout with leg injury that prevented his best performance. But his southpaw Negro opponent lifted himself out of the so-so class by the boxing ability he revealed in that fight.
 Since that night Lytell appeared on a garden show and made short work of Van McNutt of New York. Both Lytell and Chemel were re- ported in excellent trim for their match which despite traffic-stal- ling snowstorm is expected to bring an outpouring of fans.
 Matchmaker Rip Valenti of the sponsoring Goodwin A. C., promises that the winner of the Lytell-Che- mel affray will be given the dubi- ous honors of meeting Ray (SugaD Robinson of New York early next month.

MAJORS PLAN GEAR FARLEY
 IN TEN DAYS
BY LEO H. PETERSEN United Press Sports EditOr)

New York, Feb. 5-(UP)-The unanimous desire of Major League club owners that new high com missioner of baseball be elected be- fore the opening of the 1945 season will result in a call for another Spe- cial meeting within a week or 10 days, 1t was revealed today.
 The owners, who failed to agree on candidate for the post in their emergency meeting here Friday and Saturday, now feel that it is neces- sary for the post to be filled be- fore the start of the new campaign, because of the many manpower problems and the growing proble. n of gambling through bookmakers. Any club owner in either league may propose the meeting in a for nal request to the president of the circuit, Ford Prick in the National or William Harridge in the Amer ican. The president in turn must present the application to Leslie M. O'Connor, chairman of the tenn porary three man commission gov- erning the game in lieu of com missioner. The meeting then is set 15 days or more after the formal application is filed.
 Prick still was regarded as a leading candidate for the $50,000 a year post, although his supporters were blocked in their efforts to hold an election. However, the faction which contends that baseball should go outside its ranks reportedly were gaining ground and former Post master James A. Farley was men, toned most frequently among can- didates in this field
 The owners, who accomplished little except adoption of new Major League agreement, made only two major alterations in the document, curbing the overs of the commissioner and changing the method of electing him.
 Interpretation of the agreement reveals that the new commissioner will be delegated to enforce the rules made by club owners, but VIII not be permitted to define them The commissioner also is not em- powered to act on matter deemed detrimental to baseball until first obtaining consent from club own CTS. A provision which prohibited the leagues or club owners from appealing the commissioners decl- sions to the judicial courts also was eliminated from the agreement un- der which Judge KenesaW M. Lan- dis ruled baseball with an lrta hand.
 The club owners also reduced the salary of the commissioner from $65, 900 to .$50,0O0 and required three -fourths vote for election whereas under the old agreement g ma ajority was all that was required The term of office remains the same-seven years.
 Prick and Harridge were named to represent baseball in Washington for the duration of the wartime emergency, but it was emphasized that they were not empowered t( ask any special favors for the game They will go merely as representa- tives in baseball discussions Whlcf may be necessary because Of tht manpower situation.
