The discrepancy was discovered
because of Feller's announced deter

because no official records were kept
in the early years of the American

was borrowed from George E. More

Maurie||o Easy 10 Hit,
Says Louis, Ending
Training for Fight
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Sept. 17.-Tami
Mauriello is easy to hit, said Joe
Louis as he sat in his dressing
quarters. happy that the slow, fat
melting, punch-sharpening grind of
training was over.
And you shuddered to think of
what might happen to Tami in
Yankee Stadium tomorrow night,
because you remembered the as
sorted Jumps and bumps Louis has
raised on other guys he's been able
to hit down through the years.
Yep" he said, that Tami is easy
to hit with either hand, and espe-
cially the left"
The heavyweight champion had
just completed his final session of
sparring with a four-round frolic
against a quartet of punch catchers
late yesterday After waltzing around
with Perk Daniel, George Fitch and
Teddy Randolph, he took on Eld-
ridge Eastman, wide-sWinging
sWatter from Norwaik, Conn, with
a style somewhat similar to Tami's
wild way of throwing a left hand
from the Bronx and right from
Brooklyn.
And in the short stretch against
Elridge, Joe showed just what he
meant by the especially the left"
He stepped inside Eastmans curve
ball pitching and belabored him
with southpaw shots until the Con-
necticut clouter must have thought
he was catching a double header for
Lefty Gomez.
Being a fellow who always gives
the other man a chance, Joe in
cluded, in his final preflght look
at tomorrow's fight, the possibility
that the Bronx barkeep might con-
ceivably nail him a lucky Sunday
shot. But it seemed Joe had a hard
time convincing even himself, let
alone the boxing writers from Vari-
Gus sections of the country who have

NEW YORK, Sept. 17.-Prac-
tically all of the contract reforms
requested by major league baseball
players will be in the 1947 docu-
ments, in addition to few the big
league performers hadn't previous
ly made public.
The $4,000 minimum salary per
year and an allowance of S25 a
week to a player for spring training
expenses above transportation, room
and board--the primary changes
asked by the players-were agreed
upon by the rnagnates at a joint
meeting of the club owners of both
leagues here yesterday.
Biggest surprise of the confab
was the request to limit the re-
duction of players salary to Is
per cent of the amount he received
the previous season.
This clause had not been pre-
viously mentioned, and it will no
doubt benefit the games high-sal-
aried stars and former stars, such
as Hank Greenberg, Mort and

top-grade performers who might
be asked to take big cut.

Hursey's Handler Ask,
For an Encore After
BIB Wins Decision

Demands for a rematch coupled
with the usual cries of 1--WE were
robbed" arise from Mel Stevenson,
manager of Smuggy Hursey whose
attempts to climb out of the pre-
liminary boy class were set back last
night when Bee Bee Washington
captured split decision in the
Griffith Stadium 10-rounder.
Bee Bee won by a whisker on
votes of Judges Jimmy Sullivan and
Harry Volkman, with Referee Eddie
La Fond nodding for Hursey after
a bangup brawl that made up for
mostly poor prelims. The Stars
score sheet had each winning four
rounds with two even, and it was
just about that close.
Washington's straight left piled
up a hefty lead in the early going
and he hit Smuggy 3-to-1 with it
throughout. Smuggy got started too
late with his main weapon, fast
swinging left. His punches ap-
parently carried more authority,
and in the last two sessions par
ticularly he had Bee Bee foggy, but
neither hit the deck. Washington
was 81 favorite entering the ring,
but his hackers were scrambling
around trying to hedge their wagers
in the final rounds.
Both boys were at their heaviest,
Washington weighing 165 and Hur-
sey 1887. A slimmish crowd paid a
gross gate Of S., 5,403.30 and net of
$4,032.49.
The semifeature went to Jimmy
McGriff, 1922, Washington, over
Billy Peterson, 1867, Billings, Mont,
in eight. In other prelims, George
Brooks, 1907, Washington, out
pointed Ben Brown, 1914, Atlanta

Earlier the football officials voted
not to work games here unless each
school paid $40 to their organization,
in addition to the usual game fees
for officials. The schools refused and
negotiations were under way to bring
Baltimore arbiters here.
