Sports Parade
By OSCAR FRALEY United Press Sports Writer

WeStbury, N Y, July - CUP) Six years after his retirement, Greyhound is today still the cham pion of the trotters = and what s more the big fellow knows it.
 His famed grey coat now a snowy white. the Man OWar of harness racing rolled into the barns at Roosevelt RaceWay and immediate ly took the play away from 12 cur rent champions who Will match speed and stamina Wednesday night in the S25,000 American trot- ting championship.
 Standing fetlock-deep in clean, sweet smelling straw the old man of the raceways was stirring sight. Slim legs still showed patches of his former grey color and his mane and tail were long and luxuriant salt and pepper.
 Doesn't Look His Years
 A tiny, portable radio blared hot swing music just outside the stall door and Greyhound stood proudly erect, nostrils flaring and ears pointed forward.
 He didn't look his 14-years but more like the famous gelding of a decade ago who won Il of 78 heats and never finished worse than fourth with five seconds and one third.
 That's what makes his a magic name around the harness barns, the memory of those flashing legs which hung up IT world records in- cluding the untouched 1:55 IA on a mile track and his 1:59 3-4 on a a half-mile track. So the big fel- low no sooner cheeks into a stall than half the population comes drumming.
 He looks like his mother, Eliza beth, now one stout woman said with retrospective awe.
 Claims Horse Is Mean
 A freckled youngster pressed up against the stall door and Grey hound leande out with all intentions of tasting him.
 Don't get too near him, son, or he'll grab you a groom warned.
 That's why they gelded him, " the hay pitcher said to nobody in particular. He never was too tract able and now he's getting older and meaner."
 Yet they still look at the tower ing white horse as if they expected him in all his growing senility to step out of the stall and run all opposition into the ground. They've lined up crack field for the American championship, but these are the kind which used to be Greyhound's meat. As it is, still round-bodied and sleek he'll give them a little exhibition lesson just before their big battle.

MouriieIIo Gets Title
 Bout Sept. IS
By JACK CUDDY United Press Sports Writer

New York, July 2-(UP)-Cham- pion Joe Louis and challenger Tami Mauriello of the Bronx are expect ed to sign tomorrow for heavy weight title fight at Yankee Sta dium, September IS.
 After more than a week of nego- tiations. Mauriello and Manager James Iefty) Re1nini have agreed to terms, it was learned today. They are believed to have accepted IS 1-2 percent of the net gate. Louis will receive 40 percent.
 This 15-round bout, in which Jolting Joe will be defending his title for the 23rd time, is expected by Mike Jacobs to attract gross gate of more than S750,000.
 Louis and manager Marshall both out of the city today, have been summoned to meet Mauriello and Remini tomorrow at 20th Gen. tury headquarters, where the sign ing ceremony probably will occur.
 Louis announced on the night of June 19 that he would not fight again this year. That was in the dressing room at the Stadium, just after the champ had knocked out Billy Conn in the eighth round of their S1,925 ,564 fiasco. Meanwhile. promoter Jacobs apparently helped Joe to change his mind. Despite Joe's S625 ,9l6 from the June 19 re- ceipts, the champ still seems to have the shorts" after figuring out what he owed Uncle Sam and Uncle Mike.
 May Be Only $50
 Louis and Mauriello are virtually certain to draw more fans to the Stadium that the 45 ,226 who wit messed the Louis-Conn foperoo.
 Mauriello, the 23-year-old Bronx Italian, has a huge personal follow ing in the Metropolitan area, More over there will be no 100 tops for seats, The price range will be cut in half-at least.
 Promoter Jacobs unquestionably picked Mauriello to meet Louis for two major reasons: CD he believes that tough Tami will attract more money than any other contender and t2) he believes that Mauriello will be sanctioned as challenger by the New York Boxing Commission because that body would favor him for the No. l spot over the only other possible contenders: Jersey Zoe Wolcott, a Negro of Comden, N. J., who is 32 years old-the same age as the champion. +.: K. o. Kid
 Few experts or fans will give Mauriello much chance against Louis because Of the champions impressive showing against Conn in his first postwar fight and because of Louis record of only defeat in 58 professional bouts, 50 of which were won by knockouts.
 However, the fans may turn out according to Jacobs expecta tions because of the promise of action" Mauriello is a puncher who regis tered 52 kneckouts in TT profession al fights. He is working on string of II straight kayoes. He lost seven bouts since turning profes- sional at the tender age of Is, thanks to his brothers birth cer- tifieate. But he never failed to go the distance-never was knocked out or stopped.

 Games Tonight And Tomorrou

Tonight at Recreat tion Field in Nauagtuck St. Lucy's puts its un- defeated record on the line against Rev. George Dunn's Naugatuck St. Francis team. In the borough nine Joe DiLeo and his mates may find a bigger hurdle than they can jump; for since St. Francis added several of the Naugatuck High players to it's roster, the team has gone unbeaten in league competi- tion. Included in their list of vic- tories is a To win over Herbie Car lone and SS. Peter and Paul who figured to be the strongest outfit in the circuit. Another feature clash in the Eastern Division of the league will occur tomorrow night when SS. Peter and Paul clashes with the Immaculate Conception team at Hamilton Park. Both teams sport a 2-1 record and whichever one loses his cones will very likely fall out of tn running for first round honors in the Division. The third game in the Eastern Division this week pits St. Thomas against St. Francis Xavier at Washington Park tomor- row night and the winner of this game will leave the other nine in sole possession of the cellar"

You've noticed in this purge busl-

make great capital over it as blanket

With the Republicans moving into

well exploited. If such is the case, may
be it will tend to put a brake on Presi-

been that the cooperative balance OF
