New York, Jan. 22-Dan Top pings football Yankees continue to steal the headlines from the Na- tional Football League. Yesterday they announced signing of two more players, one of them still on the Chicago Cards defense list. The two were halfback Steve Lach, list ed by the MEL as the property of the Cards and in service, and end Harry Burrus.
 Lach, who starred at Duke, played with the Cards in 1942 and entered the Navy in lo43. While at Great Lakes he caught Paul An- derson's pass in the last 30 seconds of play that beat a highly-favored Notre Dame il. Steve has received his Navy discharge.
 While playing with the Blue Dev- ills Lach made a reputation as a pass-receiver. Tn l940 he caught 26 passes for a total of 333 yards and in l94l he snared 22 for 366 yards. Steve played with Duke in the transplanted Rose Bowl game in I942 when oregon State topped the Blue Devils.

Braves Annex Indianapolis
 Farm Interest

Boston, Jan. 22-CUP)-The first major step toward the acquisition of a cast farm system by the Bos- ton Braves wos disclosed today when General Manager John Quinn an- nounced that his club had acquired 40 per cent interest in the Tn- dianapolis, Ind, team-a triple-a aggregation.
 Concluding a series of conferences here with Frank E. Mckinney. principal owner of the Indianapolis club, Quinn said that in exchange he had given Mckinney a 10 per cent share of the Braves and made him a director of the Boston Na- tional league team.
 Louis Perini. president of the Braves, becomes a director of the Indianapolis club.
 Quinn said that the subject had been discussed for some time by himself, Manager Billy Southworth and other officer. But, he said, this was only the beginning of an expansion plan whereby the Braves hoped ultimately to be in position to develop their own players and virtually cease all purchases from other major league teams.
 Quinn said that IT Scouts had been added to the Braves roster and that during the coming months they would cover the nation in search sof talent.
 Trial camps for young ball. players will be held in B cities from coast to coast" he said.

CYO 2nd Round Starts Tonight

Four teams will begin the second round of play in the League this evening, at St. JOseph's Hall. In the first game at 7:I5 Mt. Carmel will meet St. Patrick's. The first time these two teams met, it took an overtime period to decide the outcome of the neighbOrshOOd contest. Since that time Mt. Carmel, winner of that game, has strengthened its team by the addition of St. John and PerrOne. However, St. Patrick's showed marked improvement during the round. and 1t looks like another close battle is in store for C.Y.0. fans tonight. In the second game at S:I5 St. JOseph's, winner of the first round. will meet st. Ann's. The Lithuanians, sparked by Jamu- ska and Stokes, ran through five games without a defeat.

 Back at Now As GridHeod

Annapolis, Md, Jan. 9. (UP)- Capt. Tom Hamilton, an old sea dog of World War II, was head ing home today for the kind of a fight he likes the best-sinking Nays football opponents.
 Hamilton, succeeding Cmdr. oscar (Swede) Hagberg as head coach at the Naval Academy on March l, was a star quarterback on the 1924 25-26 teams. In 1894, his first year as coach at the academy, his team beat Army ending 8 l3-year drought.
 Beating Army, which is the most important phase of football life on the banks of the Severn, was some- thing that he couldn't do as player, but he got even as coach, lead ing his team to victory over the Cadets fin two of the three years he coached.
 The 4O-year-old Hamilton will in- herit a host of key players from the once-beaten Navy team Of 1S4o. They include Leon Bramlett, Tony Minisi. Joe BartoS, Clyde Scott, Dick Scott, Bobby Hoernschmeyer, Jack Welsh, Jim Darlington, New bold Smith, Charley Riser, Pete Williams, George Sundheim and Jack Currence, all varsity men.
 Hamilton, whose selection had been rumored for weeks, also was reported in line to become athletic director succeeding Capt. Charles o. Humphreys, whose tour of duty at the academy ends in June. Hamilton now is commander of the escort carrier Savo Island.
 Although he will be permitted to name his own staff of assistants 1t was believed that he would retain Line Coach E. E. (RipO Miller, an old friend. whom he succeeded as head Navy mentor in 1884. Others now on the Navy coaching staff are backfield coach Neither Molesworth, end coach Ed ErdelatZ, assistant line coach Day Swartz, and assistant backfield Coach Charles G. Purvis'

70 Boys Club Members
 Enter Meet

The Waterbury Boys Club has entered the second annual Boys Club of America pull-up contest, one of many activities on the Na- tional Boys Club physical program for l946. Physical Director Joe Ross of the Cottage Place institu- ton has already received contest registrations from 70 local mem bers.
 Participants will be in four age divisions, known as - MidgetS, the boys who have not reached their 18th birthday on or before January 1--Juniors, boys who are l2 years of age mad have not reached their 18th birthday on or before January 1-IntermediateS, boys who are IS and have not reached their 17th birthday on or before January 1, and--Seniors, boys who are i7 years of age and have not reached their Fist birthday on or before January l.
 In the national competition, each Boys Club is allowed to enter team made up of five boys from each age divisions, making team of 20 boys in all. Thus the team scoring the greatest number of pullups in the national contest will be declared the national cham pions.
 There will also be individual scorers considered for individual championship, as each age division will be allowed national individual champion, so it would be possible for the local Boys Club to have one, two or even four national in- dividual champions without the entire team being a national cham pion.
 National awards will be given. A medal will be awarded to the in- dividual champion in each age division and a certificate of award will be provided to the Clubs plac- ing first, second, third, fourth, and fifth. In the event of a tie score for first place for either individual or team, another trial will be re- quired of contestants who were tied. The best score made in the new trial will decide the championships.

just as it made him a champion in baseball. And it is those attributes upon which the one-time boy wonder is counting as he aims for his 2ist season and his fifth year as playing manager.
 Present plans call for Babe Young to play center field and Sid Gordon to play left. Other outfield prospects are Johnny Rucker. Dan- ny Gardella, Jess Pike, Buster May nard and Morrie Arroyich. The heavy hitting Willard Marshall, who entered the Marines in l042, still is wearing a uniform and Ott is hoping that he'll be back in time to fit in.
 But the only relief Ott expects In right field Is from Pike, up from Indianapolis. Which indicates that Mel doesn't think he's going to need too much assistance. Because 1t wouldn't ce like Ottey to give rookie the land upon whiah Ae has Q lease-even if it would be poetic justice.

Ott Counting Upon Self As Regular 0utfieIder
By OSCAR FRALEY

New York, Jan. 22-(UP)-Crit- 1cs and doctors notwithstanding, Melvin Thomas Ott is going to be out there in right field tearing up che Polo Grounds grass for the 2lst year this season.
 Tanned and relaxed after a win ter of loaflng, the erstwhile Mas ter Melvin" the wonder boy of two decades ago, made this clear today ns he prepared to lead ''80 or 90'' hopefuls to Florida for spring train
 And even though he's nearing 37, Obt indicated that there wasn't any, one among the near hundred who he considered would be the man to put him on the bench. Records which fall every time Mel goes to bat are going to keep right on fall Gng-and not because of vanity.
 Will Not Play Full Season
 ''I1l play as many ball games as can, and as long as feel I'm help ing the club" Ott explained. Understand, I'm not counting on playing all l54 games but I am counting upon myself as a regular outfielder."
 This despite an ailInent to his right knee which benched him a good bit of the time in 1945. A thorough diagnosis revealed that the trouble was in an overdowing sac beneath the knee which result ed in painful pressure.
 The doctor prescribed rest" Mel revealed. He said the knee simply was wearing out from so much pro- longed use and asked me if eX- pected to play all my life.
 Well, don't expect to play all my life but did rest it and think I'll be ready to go"
 Can't Sic on Sidelines
 Ott simply Is like an old tirehorse when the gong goes off. The sea- son is drawing close and he just can't consider sitting on the side lines. This still is the same young- ster who reported back in 1926 as a catcher, a self-composed lad just turning IT.
 "Did you ever play the outfield son?" asked the gruff John McGraw.
 A4A4y W4ACtl was q A1ht ASRAaSA the beardless youth from Gretna, La.
 That composure and infinite faith in his own ability still is one of the chief characteristics of the Giant manager. And he has taken plenty of care that he'll be fit and trim when training time rolls around.
 Right Handed at Golf
 "All did was play golf and rest, he said. My golf was right around 90, a stroke one way or the other" Mel is a left-handed hitter. That factor made him the third great est home run hitter in the game during his years as a Polo Grounds fixture when his shots cleared the short right field fence.
 'sDut I play golf right handed, he said. "Y0u know hitch my right leg when swing at base ball and had the same tendency playing golf. The result was that | couldn't see the golf ball. so I had to swing right handed" :"
