 Bout Again
 For Charity

New York, Sept 20.-UP)-Billy Conn, former heavyweight cl1allen- ger kayoed by Joe Louis June 18th, phoned promoter Mike Jacobs from Pittsburgh today and offered to fight the champion again for char ity.
 Conn said he wanted to show the world what he could do against the brown-skinned titleholder if T fought my own way" He said in his June bout with Louis he operated under orders from his board of strategy" which did not, permit him to fight the way he wanted to.
 JacogS said he didn't know whe- ther such bout could be arranged and this was tle first suggestion he had heard of the bout. Louis will not fight again until early 1947, Jacobs said, and that if he meets Conn a third time it would not be for charity.
 Tournament
 During the interim, Jacobs said an elimination tournament will be held among outstanding heavy weights, including Elmer (Violent) Ray, Jersey Joe Falcott, both Negroes, and Joe Baksi, Joey Maxim and Tani Mauriello, whom Louis knocked put at Yankee Stadium Wednesday night.
 The winner of the tournament probably will fight Bruce Woodcock, British heavyweight champion, for the right to a shot at Louis. Jacobs said there was little likelihood of Louis going to London to fight. How ever, he said Joe was interested in possibilities of going to South Amer ica, although there is nothing def mite yet on such a trip.
 The promoter disclosed that mo- ton pictures of the fight will not be released to theaters because Hack of footage." The fight was too short to make release of the movies prac- ticable.
 Jacobs said Marcel Cerdan of France, middleweight champion of Europe, would arrive in New York in December and that he would be matched against some outstanding American midd1eWeight such as Rocky Graziano, Jake LaMotta, Georgie Abrams or Steve Belloise.

Lack of Lights Stops Indies

Waterbury's football Indies got of to very bad start last night at Torrington. Their scheduled game with Torrington Redskins was not played because the rented lighting system was not set up; asit was supposed to have been delivered by a New York outfit. Some 3,2OO fans paid to see the game; but no money was refunded, the Torrington man. agement announcing that the tickets bought would be honored at the next Redskin-Indies game, scheduled for Sunday afternoon, October 6. Any fans wishing refund of ticket money could get it today.
 Manager Duke Del Pc of the Lad ies wishes Waterbury fans who travelled to Torrington last night, to understand that their tickets are good for the scheduled October 6 game; because of an erroneous re- port in the Republican.
 In the meantime; the Indies will open the season at Ansonia Sunday afternoon at 2:30 P. M. the kickoff scheduled for Nolan field. All Indies players will report Saturday after noon, 2;30 P M for another prac- tice session at Hamilton Park.

Nestor Best At Avon Speedway

Avon, Sept. 20-Ray Pestor of the Bronx still retains a firm grip or first place in the Annual Fall Cham pionship point standings at Cherry Park Speedway. Although he could do no better than fourth finishing position in last Sundays record breaking feature race, the "A points he accumulated while riding behind George Rice, Bill Schindler and Len Duncan kept him up front in the championship standings by a con- fortable point margin.
 The fast company which prevails at the Avon oval is demonstrated by the ten ties now existing among the eighteen drivers with cham pionship points to their credit. With George Rice in fifth spot, Bill Schindler in sixth, and Ted Tappett down the line in tenth position, some all-out throttle stomping is due when the battle resumes Sun day.
 Of particular interest to midget fans is the tie for second position in the standings between Art Cross, Rutherford, N J., and high Hough team mate, Lloyd Christopher of Miami, Fla, each with 34 points. Both drivers experienced trouble last week, being required to qualify for the main event by way of the consolation route, a very unusual procedure for the driver of any Hough car.
 With only four feature events re- maining before the 50-lap cham pionship run-off October 20, the point fight should supply some fan cy fireworks again Sunday night.
 Current point standings of the first ten drivers are:
 Ray Nestor, Bronx, N. Y, 54; Art Cross, Rutherford. N J., 34; Lloyd Christopher, Miami, Fla, 34; Johnny zeke, Bronx, N Y, 30: George Rice, Milford, Conn, 30; Bill Gchindler, Freeport, N. Y, 28; Chet

holes in the backfeld and in the line but then there still remains posts on the two respective teams which will be questionable until after the first contest. After the first game has been played the two coaches can determine their weak spots and then try to remedy them Crosby's first opponent, Torrington, will definitely be tough nut" to crack as the New City combine really has fast and deceptive backfleld and a better than average line. While Leavenworth will meet Manchester in a contest which may test the Big Reds backfield ability. Too much cannot be said about this tilt as the strength which Manches- ter may or may not possess is an unknown quantity at this time.

New York, Sept. 20-(UP)-Army, Alabama and Texas, already the kingpins of their respective sectors, lead 172 teams into action this week. end as intercollegiate football re- bounds from the uncertainty of four war years with it's greatest season in history in prospect.
 Optimism ran high everywhere, with squads swollen twice normal size by returned servicemen and the customary holdovers. Record ad- vance ticket sales were reported from coast to coast.
 Alabama, well-heeled in its quest for a second straight invitation to the Rose Bowl, touches off the early parade to name" teams against un- derdog Furman tonight.
 Army, undefeated in two years and leading nominee once more for team of the year." opens up Sat- urday against Villanova, revived power which stormed over Kings Point Merchant Marine Academy last week in one of the scattered half-dozen contests already on the records.
 In the southwest, widely -heralded Texas, unanimous choice to rule the uncertain southwestern conference, takes on tough Missouri at Austin in 'warmup' which should indicate whether Coach Dana Bible has a potential Rose Bowl team.
 Illinois at Pittsburgh Saturday and Texas Christian against Kansas at Kansas City, Mo, Saturday night top the brief intersectional sched- ule. for Illinois, it's an opportunity to iron out the kinks before dangling with Notre Dame next Saturday in what probably will be the game of the week.
 Unbeaten in 18 straight games, Army faces its first postwar season with team little weaker than it's national champions of 1914 and 1945 but with schedule far more diffi- cult. Its great depth no longer is there and the loss of such linemen as Johnny Green, . Dewitt Coulter and Al Nemetz plus halfback Shorty McWilliamS, may be felt over a long season.
 Texas has improved and so has Alabama
 Rivalling the Texas Missouri con- test for actual competition, Is a tough one in the South pitting Mis- sissippi against Kentucky at Lex ington, Ky, Saturday night. Ole Miss is favored.
 In addition to Illinois, four other big ten teams swing into the new season. Indiana's big nine champs open against Cincinnati, Purdue meets Miami, O., University, Wis consin plays Marquette and Iowa is scheduled against North Dakota State. All four conference teams are hosts and all are favored heavily.

Cincinnati, Sept 20-(UP)-Base ball Commissioner A. B. (Happy) Chandler's office announced today that Richard Muckerman, president of the St. Louis Browns, had been given permission to negotiate with Harold (Muddy) Ruel about the managership of the Browns.
 Ruel, who is special assistant to Chandler, accompanied Muckerman to the commissioners home at Yer sailles, Ky, for the conference.
 It was reported few days ago that Ruel was being considered for managership of the St. Louis Club in 1947, as successor to Luke Sewell and acting manager Zack Taylor, provided Chandler would release the former Chicago White Sox catcher from his present duties.

There's funny story going the rounds about the local Louis- Mauriello fight ticket raffle. An or ganization bought two tickets, value S60 and sold tickets for a drawing. The lucky winner asked for the cash rather than the tickets; as Louis was 9-1 favorite and Al to win by knockout; 7-5 that Mauriello would not last five rounds. Conditions of the drawing allowed the winner cash; so the organiza- tion had to "peddle" the two tickets for which it paid $50 each. Wonder how much they sold for, if they were sold? .. Charley Platt, former superintendent of mails, who has played plenty of golf during the past year or two, is on his way to Florida, there to stay until next May; when the flowers will bloom in the spring (tra-la) and the Chase golf course will be ready for more divot-digging. '. Julie Larese, the big Bristol businessman has done great deal to keep Bristol in the sports spotlight for the past year or two. His latest plan, relative to new stadium in Bristol for soft ball and boxing has the town agog. The Bristol Tramps basketball and Softball teams were among the best in Connecticut for the past two years, for Julie, the slashing tackle of Tommy Monahan and Clyde Waters days, does things in a big way. When and If completed, he expects to seat 10000 people in the proposed stadium to be used at least months of the year. :. Tony zale vs. Rocky Graziano, middleweight title bout next Fri day night, at $5-10-20 and $50 per seat; to which MT. Jacobs adds: these prices include all taxes" So, if Louis and Mauriello grossed S335 ,063 the zale-Graziano bout at those prices may gross two-ffty grand. zale is such an unknown quantity now that the bout will be tremendous attraction, for Zale would handle Graziano easily before the war.

NolU HolU About Elmer Ray?

After what happened to Tami Mauriello Wednesday night in a little over two minutes. the answer to the $64 question: who can stand up with Joe Louis?" is veering more toward the direction of Elmer (Vio- lent) Ray, who can't seem to get any recognition in New York as a knocker-outer, though he has been raved about ip print from California to Florida ~and Chicago for the past year. Like Ray Robin son in the welterweight division, he has been brushed off like so much dandruff, principally because he and his handlers will not tie up with Mike Jacobs monopoly so he won't get crack at the title, unless public demand forces the issue; and, it might be added, there is nothing more powerful on this earth than public demand or opin- ion. (Comes the revolution, BorisD
 Of course, off his record, Ray
 huge, free-swing Negro, always in peak condition, is entitled to title bout with Louis, as he has beaten every heavyweight of note, except the champ; but he won't get it unless he sells himself down the river" to Jacobs or agrees to soft" fight; meaning a fixed fight where he cannot win. What we will probably see next is Joe Louis vs. Bruce Wood cock, the English champ who re- gently stopped favored 175- pound Champ Gus Lesnevich in Lon- don; though Bruce, the best Eng fish fighter in 25 years, was knocked out in six rounds by Mauriello, who lasted 2:09 with Louis last Wednesday.
 Where will Louis and Wood cock fight? In Florida, of course.
