MuIIigon, Too Light, Cont Foce Lowmon

Boston, April 18 - (U.P) - Clouting Coolidge Miller of Yonkers, N. r., was signed today to replace Earl bowman of Detroit in a bout at Mechanics building tomorrow night with Irish Jimmy Mulligan of Lowell.
 bowman was ordered scratched yes terday by the Massachusetts Box ing Commission when it learned Mulligan was below the 175 pounds by which boxer may engage in heavyweight contest here. Mulligan completed his training and weighed in at 168 pounds, some 37 less than the huge bowman.
 Mulligans pleas that he be per- mitted to avenge defeat sustained a year ago at Lowman's hands were refused by the commission which said that the Lowell boxer must face a fighter nearer his own weight.
 Twice before Muligan has fought Miller in White Plains. N. Y, losing once and battling to furious eight round draw.

Sport Parade

cinnati Reds because of the man. power shortage. All he did was hurl two scoreless innings and receive credit for the Reds to 6, Thinning victory over the Pirates.
 In Brooklyn - what doesn't hap pen there? Anyhow, couple of 40- year-o olds took charge of that ball game. The ancient arm of Curt Davis still threw more stuff than the Philadelphia PhillieS could overcome and Manager Leo Duro- cher, who hasn't been active for a couple of years, acted like a school boy around second base. Davis not only scattered eight hits effective ly, but got two hits, one home run with a man on base. Durocher handled six chances in the field flawlessly, batted in two runs. Even Jimmy Foxx of the Phillies caught the idea. He beat out an infield hit as a pinch hitter - but he's only 37.
 The 38-age group did all right, too. Paul Derringer beat the World Champion Cardinals for the Chi cago Cubs; Joe Kuhel got four hits and batted in five runs as Wash ington beat Philadelphia and al- though 1t was in losing cause Manager Joe Cronin played lot of third base for the Boston Red Sox as they dropped their opener to the Yankee. He scooped up slow grounder and threw out a Yankee speed boy with the grace of the days when he was $100,000 shortstop with Washington.
 In the 35 age bracket were Man ager Mel Ott of the New York Giants and Tony Cuccinello of the Chicago White Sox. Ott, who sets a new mark every time he goes to bat, led his Giants to an opening day victory over the Braves, getting two hits and setting new major league record by starting his 20th consecu- tive season with the same club.
 Cuccinello picked on one of the younger players to do his stuff-and was that kids face red? The kid was Manager Lou Boudreau of the Cleveland Indians. Boudreau fell victim to the ancient hidden ball trick and Cuccinello was the perpe- trator.
 To make the day complete for the old timers, the goat of the day was a kid = Shortstop Frankie zak of the Pittsburgh Pirates. His shoe laces cost the Pirates their opening game against the Reds. He was on first base as Bucky Walter, then pitching for Cincinnati, was wind ing up to deliver to Jim Russell. zak requested time" so he could tie his shoe faces. Walters went on with the pitch and Russell knocked 1t out of the park. There were two men on base at the time and that blow, If 1t had counted, would have meant the ball game. But that wouldn't have been so good either, for then Lisen- bee wouldn't have gotten a chance to display the oldest active soup bone" in the game.

Big League Clubs Huve Become
 Baby Snotchers'

Competition for baseball talent iias become SO stiff that all six teen major league clubs now con duct intensive searches of the sticks and the cities for teen-age talent spending as much as $80,000 year apiece on this type of missionary work.
 Some, like the Brooklyn Dodgers under Branch Rickey, look at as many as 5000 kids year. writes Harold Parrott, traveling secretary for the Dodgers, in the April 21 issue of the Saturday Evening Post. His article is entitled Baseball Baby SnatcherS."
 Although all sixteen major league clubs are kid-conscious,' Parrott writes, seven of them lead in the exploitation of the tryout camp idea begun by the Cardinals under Riskey. The tryout-camp sort of talent roundup, involves an advance man who contacts radio stations and newspapers to lure youngsters from hundreds of miles around. The camp goes on for sev- CI al OdyO. All CAPCL LCA1CCu oOuAA OA sharp-eyed scouts corral the staJ prospects.
 Users of this coaSt-to-coat drag. net, outside of the Cardinals and their No. 1 competitors, the Dod2. CTS. are the Boston Red Sox, the Chicago Cubs, Pittsburgh Pirates. New York Giants and Philadelphia Phils."
 Ninety-five per cent of the hope. fuls to whom the professional gives passing marks have size, Parrott states. Dodger scouts seldom bring in midgets. The reason is that, ii they're pitchers, the chances arc they're too small to throw the ball hard; if they're hitters, they haven't
 What does a boy have to show for veteran scouts to mark him 100 per cent almost a cinch for the majors?
 'The three basic requisites" says Rickey, "are one, running, or speed of foot; two, hitting, or ability to drive the ball far, and thiee, throw ing, or strength of arm. It takes possession of two of those three to make the majors"

New York, April IT - (U.P) - It was great day for the old timers, and it. too bad a couple of their old cronies weren't around to see them perform.
 The boys who have passed their peak and were tagged as ready for baseball's grave yard gave pretty good exhibition yesterday as the 1945 major league baseball season opened. The accent wasn't on youth it was on age.
 And the old-timers didn't disap- point. The late Kenesaw Mountain LandiS, who ruled the game for so many years as its commissioner, and the late Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who as president was baseball's No. 1 champion, would have enjoyed it. If they got the re- turns in Valahlla, they must have had quite a chuckle.

KELLEY SURE OF MARATHON WIN
 OVER 26 MILES
By JOSEPH NOLAN

UV 3V0EEn n INOAAfAkN Limited Press Stan CorrespOndent)
 Boston, April 1S.-(UP)-Ex-sol- dier Johnny Kelley will be favored to repeat his triumph of a decade ago when a war-riddled field of 88 Tarvia trotters lumber over hill and dale tomorrow in the 18th renewal of the annual Boston A. A. Mara thon.
 Runner-up six times in the 26- mile, 3S5-yard patriots day classic Kelley VOWS he'll win the laurel wreath and send 1t along to Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt as belated trib- ute to the late president. The ST. year-old West Acton plodder ap- pears in excellent condition, having won the time prize in the recent Reddish 10-mile run, a tuneup for the marathon.
 This is my year." Kelley predicted confidently. I've been a bridesmaid long enough, and it's about time I got a chance to strut my stuff. The guy who said this race was going to be a photo finish had the right idea-a profile of John Adelbert Kelley"
 Not So Easy
 To turn the trick, Kelley will have to outrun some stiff competition in the Hopkinton-to-Boston jaunt he won in 1885. Last years winner Sgt. Gerard Cote of Montreal-now is serving overseas with the Canad- ian army, but Kelley will have to vie with such classy performers as sailor Charlie Robbins, Don Hein- icke, Clayton Farrar, Fred McGlone, Lloyd Bairstow and Lou Young.
 Robbins, 24-year-old National Marathon titlist stationed at the Chelsea Naval hospital, finished third last year. Running with a handicap in the Reddish event, he crossed the finish line some 50 yards in front of the veteran Kelley.
 Representing the White Horse club of Baltimore, Heinicke will be making his seventh marathan ap- pearance here, having placed sec- ond once and third on two occasions. He never closed farther back than sixeth position, and Kelley grudg- ingly comedies that Heinicke is long overdue.
 Another hardy perennial, Me- Clone, led the pack in the 1922 Ma tional Marathon at Yonkers, N. Y, and boasts of having finished third In the Patriots day grind two years ago. At that time he was working IA hours a day as railroad brake man, while now he's comparative gentleman of leisure at the Bain- bridge (Md) Naval hospital.
 Farrar carries the colors of the U. s. Coast Guard Academy, New Lon- don, Conn; Young, the North Med- lord club; and Bairstow, the Boston Athletic Association, sponsor of the marathon
 In the wartime field, slim by com- parison with the 200-odd who used to be at the starting mark, it is un- likely that anyone will lower the present course record of 2 hours. 2e minutes, 5l.2 seconds set by milk man Joe Smith in 1942. Last year 6s toed the mark.
 But one entry is sure he can do it. ~ Indian to Run
 He's Wahoo Fraser, a boastful Mo- hawk Indian brave from Niagara FailS, N. Y, who said he had to catch train less than three hours after the starters gun barks. The last redskin to make such a boast was Ellison (Tarzan) Brown of westerly, R. l., who predicted he'd carry of the honors in 19S9-and did.
