Bay State Boxing Lows Improved

Boston, Jan. 17--(UP)-In an ef- fort to avoid controversial boxing decisions in Massachusetts, the legislature was asked today to enact laws under which only experienced boxing men would be permitted to officiate.
 A petition filed by Rep. George T.. Lanigan CD Boston called for:
 1. All referees be required to have 10 years actual experience as a boxer, manager of bovers or trainer of boxers.
 2. All boxing judges appointed by the Massachusetts State Boxing Commission be required to have 10 years actual experience as boxer, a manager of boxers or trainer of boxers,

BASEBALL MEN PLATED BY FOR
 CONDITIONAL
BY ERNEST BARCELLA United Press Staff COrrespOndeE


 Washington, Jan. i7-(UP)-Ma- ior League baseball began planning in earnest today for the l945 sea- son, the powers of the sport con- v!nced that President Roosevelt's s message encouraging continuation ot the game without hurting war production or using perfectly heal thy young men," was a green light for the sport.
 The President, who gave baseball a green light shortly after Pearl Harbor, set forth his position at his press conference yesterday.
 The Presidents eSsage was taken to mean that he had no objection to the continuance of wartime baseball If 1t can carry on with 4-Fs average and underage players and those discharged from the armed forces.
 Baseball officials were quick to point out that the sport had operat- ed during the last three summers much in the manner outlined by the President
 Baseball rosters now list 223 4-F's and 1t was pointed out that the status of most athletes now in that classification probably would re- main undisturbed-urleSs Congress enact. work or flight legislation. It was doubted that the services would lower their physical standards in order to draft men now listed as 4-F.
 Congressional comment approved the Presidents message. Senate Dem ocratic leader Alben w. Barkley of Kentucky, a pitcher while in col lege, said the President had taken a good battle-ground course. l don't think it's necessary tc do away with all sports" he said. People must have some recreation and baseball is the great American game"
 Draw From Minors?
 Rep. Samuel Weiss, D., Pa, the sporting worlds vocal but unoffi- cia: spokesman Jn the floor of Con- gress, gave his unqualified support to the President, saying, T believe that Major League baseball can con- tinue by drawing players from the Minor Leagues, even if 1t means abandonment of Minor League base ball for the duration.
 The Presidents statements added to the general belief that baseball would be permitted to operate. Last Saturday a war production board official told the United Press that night baseball would not be prohi- bited under the orde curtailing non- essential use of electricity to con- serve fuel.
 Inasmuch as the President did not list transportation restrictions among his conditions for the continuation of the sport, 1t was doubted that there would be crack downs from the office of defense transportation.

A Little Of This And Thot
By JOHN A. CLUNEY

Efforts of Massachusetts legisla- tOls to have boxing in the Bay State ofticiatec by referees and judges who have had at least 10 years ex- perience as competitors, managers or trainers, is the first definite move of its kind to eliminate :yolitical ap- continents of judges who know It. tie or nothing about the sports, eS- pecially how to score a fight effi- ciently and are, in some instances, not to hard to "get y. . AS a re- suit, more than a small share of outrageous decisions have loused up the sport in recent years.

 Dinny McCleary, the Watertown heavyweight sportsman, who has two boys in overseas service was among the 90,000 at the Rose Bowl football game between Southern Cal and TenneSsee'S Vols and, having yen to see the horses run, made the trip to Tijuana early this month. Fred Wilson, Scovill Recreation head is plotting a WHlZ BANG main bout for the next smoker at Dool!ttle Alley headquarters of the SERA. It may feature New Haven's Al Gainer and Waterbury's Charley Eagle, both IS" men for the past two or three years. Wilson, by the way, was a registered basketball official in Westchester county who may be at work in Connecticut soon as a transferred approved of- ficial eligible to work anywhere; once recognized by the county or state authority where he is locat- ed.

World Series baseball of 1914 MOVIES can be ar- ranged for by contracting Bill Der win at the Park Department. Sever al schools will hay the films this week for hundreds of the boys to see. i. Between the City Amateur League mid-winter dime Sunday night and the bowling carnival later, at the Sena alleys the Infantile Par alysis Fund will get some needed help; while the New Haven FBI men may come to Waterbury again to give the Red Cros lift through the medium of a basketball game at the "Y".

U. s. RUBBER AND US. TIME HOOP
 HEADLINER SET

U. s. Rubber and U. 8. Time bas- ketball teams of the I. R. A. league, a winner and loser last Sunday, at the Y. M. c. A. are paired in to- nights hoop headliner, scheduled for 9:l5 D. m. By virtue of their scoring power against Chase last weekend, when they won a 60-30 decision, the borough basketeers will be favored to defeat speedy and resourceful U. s. Time outfit that had a bad" day against Scovill E. R. A. last Sunday losing by a 25 to 39 edge; though favored to win in pre-game predictions: espe- cially when player-coach Joe Joyce of Scovill did not appear in uni- form.
 Looks Good
 Benrus and Bristol teams of the "B" Division, have been paired in an 8 D. m. preliminary game tonight. which should be very entertaining to the early-comerS.
 In view of the fact that U. s. Time was the only club to hang one" on American Brass thus far in the first round of play, they could come up with the sort of game that will de- feat the Rubbermen, who have lost Bobby RhoadS for a while because of injury.

LEADERS GIVE
 OPINIONS ABOUT
 PRESIDENTS 0K

New York, Jan. 17.-UP)-Base- ball men were heartened by what they interpreted as green light from President Roosevelt.
 Following are comments from some of them:
 Roger Peckingpaugh, vice presi- dent and general manager of the Cleveland IndianS--"The clubs will go along with any government reg ulation that helps the war effort. Much depends on the definition perfectly healthy men, Baseball has been operating with 4-F's, those with dependency deferments and players too old for service"
 Herb Pennock, general manager of the Philadelphia Phillies-"It flashed the green light for the game. All of baseball's perfectly healthy young men are in the service or available for induction under the selective service system. The Phil- lies will not handle 8 player eligi- ble for the service nor employ a 4-F whose services are necessary to the war effort"
 Clark Griffith, president of the Washington Senators-it encourages us to go ahed if we can without interfering with the war effort It can be done that way and that's the way we want 1t. I am confident that We will be able to play out the 1945 season."
 Pleased
 William Harridge, president of the American Baseball will carry on with whatever men are available and do the best job it can to give the fans a good show. We are greatly pleased with the state ment."
 J. A. Robert Quinn, president of the Boston Braves-"The men we take to our training camp this sea- son will be 4-Fers. In fact, some of them couldn't even stand the gaff of double-header year ago. It's my firm belief that we can play ball, and keep playing despite the war and manpower shortage"
 Philip J. Troy, secretary of the Boston Red Sox-"The President has voiced the feeling of all base ball men. If the player is able to work in war plant, or if he can pass the physical examination for the service. then I say let him go. We ask no favors from draft boards. am confident we can play our schedule this year with the men who are not needed in the war effort.

 United Press Stan Correspondent
 New York, Jan. l7-(UP)-It was a somewhat blurred green light that President Roosevelt gave base ball on the eve of todays promised message to congress on NationaI Service legislation-a message al- most certain to urge immediate pas sage of the pending work-or-hght bill.
 The president said he was all fol baseball; but he had to temper thS statement with notifications that seem ambiguous--ca of many interpretations. He favored contin- uance of baSeball-if it's possible to do so without hurting the em- ployment of people in the war et- fort or the building of the Army. He added emphatically that he dld not think perfectly healthy young men should be playing ball at this time.
 Baseball people, who have been clamoring for a showdown on tht governments attitude toward con tinuance of the diamond sport, fol- oling the ban on racing, generally interpreted the presidents remarks at yesterdays press conference as an indirect go-ahead for the game. There was general relief and a bit of jubiliation-a feeling that base ball has passed the war-hump ana that 1t may be able to continue for the duration.
 Cleanest Sport
 President Roosevelt unqueStior- ably favors continuance of the game, if such continuance will not conflict with his work -or-fight pro- gram. Baseball-cleanest of all pro- fessional sports-has the backing of church, educational, corrective and civic organizations because of its wartime importance as an indirect preventative of juvenile delin- quency. It also has the support or many leaders because of its con- tributions to civilian and service morale.
 However, the work-or-fight bill sponsored by Chairman Andrew J. May, D., Ky, of the House Military Affairs committee, would force every man between 18 and 45-including 4-F's-to get in a war job or stay on the one he now occupies, through occupational deferment, under pen- alty of induction nito special labor battalions. It seems now that con- gress may pass this bill in hurry, preferring 1t to possibilities of na- tional service, which would reach men in still higher brackets, and apply also to women. Gen. George c. Marshall, Army chief of staff, and Adm. Ernest J. King, com- mander in chief of the Navy, have appealed for national service.
 Confronted with possibilities of quick passage of the May bill, we wonder how to interpret RooseVelt's so-called green light" remarks Of approximately 500 men available for major league play, only five on current rosters of the 16 clubs are under 18. None are over 45.
 Roosevelt said he would like to see baseball continue If it's possible to do so without hurting the em- ployment of people in the war ef- fort" Is there an inference there that major leaguers between IS and 45, including 4-Fs and discharged veterans, will be permitted to con- tinue? Will baseball be classified as an essential industry-or what?

Bruins Lose Ice Stors To Wor Plants

Boston. Jan. l7-(UP)-With one player already lost to war plant because of the current work -or- fight threat, the Boston Bruins feared today that two more mem- bers of the National Hockey league club might be forced to abandon regular play.
 Bill Jennings, first line winger, notified the club that he had taken a job at the Ford Motor Co.,. plant in Detroit and apparently would be unavailable for the remainder of the season.
 Meanwhile, it was believed that Star Defenseman Jack Crawford and utility man from Calladine might be playing less and less since Crawford is working in Boston war plant while Calladine has a railroad job in Providence, R. I.
