real college fan but fearful that
his campus connections may suf-
fer if schoolboy Freddie Cochrane
loses the weller title Friday night,
Willie Gutenberg has latcAed onto
a Miami U. grid star as possible
future heavyweight champ.
In this connection, the bluebeard
of boxing managers (strictly from
the hirsute angle) has enlisted the
collaboration of. Two-Ton Tony
Galento, the original beer-barrel
poker who has grown to great sta
ture (sideways) as an Orange, N,
j., tavern owner.
Gutenberg and Galento exhibited
their new white hope, 1876 pound Ed
die Cameron, at the Seton Hall
college clambake for Cochrane
preparatory to the latter's first de-
tense of his title against Marty
Servo Friday.
While about 1000 of Cochrane's
Seton Hall classmates cheered his

announce his entry into the pro-
fessioaal boxing ranks shortly aft

current mid-term leave. He is also
considering various professional
offers, having been mentioned on
several little All-American selec-
tons.

Card Manager Waiting
For Rookie Prospects
Claims Catcher Joe Gargi-
ola Will Make St. Louis
Forget Walker Cooper
By BEN PHIEGAR.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 30-R-Manag-
er Eddie Dyer Of the St. Louis
Cardinals promises that he has
young catcher who will make
the fans forget Walker Cooper by
the time he has played rs games.
The youngster is Joe Garagiola,
St. Louis boy now in the army in
the Pacific.
The way Dyer put it today in
an interview Garagiola is short
on experience, long on ability. He
entered the service in 1914 after
being second string catcher at
Columbus during the 1943 season.
He is still on the Columbus national
defense list.
THE kid has everything" Dyer
said enthusia stically. ''He's a
powerful left-handed hitter. has
wonderful arm and is smart
receiver. He's bound to make a
few mistakes at first because he'll
naturally be nervous. But give
him little time, about Is or 30
big league games, and the fans will
forget all about any loss we may
have suffered IN the sale of Cooper
to the Giants.''
Dyer said Garagiola probably
will be discharged by mid-season
under a recent War department
ruling which calls for the discharge
Of all men with two years service
by June 80. and ''my catching
worries will be over then"
Del Wilbur, another rookie
catcher who comes highly recon-
mended by Enos Slaughter and
Howie Pollet, is due for an army
discharge next week. Left over
from last years catching depart
ment are Ken O'Dea, Del Rice
and Gene Crumbling.
II saw WILDER play only one
game" Dyer said, land that was
at Randolph Field where he
managed the team which included
Slaughter and Pollet. He looked
fine"
Another rookie. this time pitch
er, came in for lot Of praise
from the Red Bird boss. ''I'm
counting plenty on Johnny Grod-
zicki. I know he has the stuff to
become one Of the top pitchers
in the business if he can overcome
leg wound he suffered as a
paratrooper in Germany.
"Grodzicki was the best pitcher
in minor league baseball in 1941
in my opinion" Dyer continued.
"And that was the year that Fred
die Martin and Pollet were burn
ing up the Texas league for me at
Houston.

LEGAL FISTICUFFS
WON'T STOP PUCS
FROM FRIDAY BOUT

NEW YORK, Jan. 3o.-R-No
one except Willie (The Beard
Gutenberg was taking Willie's
threat to pull welterweight cham
|pion Red Cochrane out of Friday
nights title fight with Marty Ser
vo very seriously today-and prob.
ably even Willie wasn't too serious
about it, what with Reds purse
figuring to be between $4,000 and
$50, 900.
Willie, who manages Red, made
the threat yesterday as a result
Of an action brought in New York
supreme court by Bobby Quinn,
sometime business manager for
Fritzie Zivic, to obtain Is per cent
of Reds earnings on a contra ACT
Red signed shortly before he won
Zivic's title in July 1941.
If Red wins Friday nights tus-
sic, he'll receive about $4,000 OF
81 IL per cent of the gate. If Red
loses, Servo takes 60 per cent Of
the gate and gives Red flat $50,
UUO under private agreement.
Willie wants promoter Mike
Jacobs to put UP Reds estimated
end Of the gate in advance with
mutually agreeable third party
so it can not be attached by law
at the fight Friday. In fact, il
Mikes agreeable, Willie is will
ing to be the mutually" agree
able third party.
Willie was still muttering today
that unless Mike did that, Rec
wouldn't fight. Mike just shrugged
it off and said he hadn't contact
ed the beard about it yet ane
wasn't intending to and that he
wasn't soing to get excited abou
the whole rhubarb.
"All know" he said, SIS thai
that $4,000 is a pretty good touch
and even $4,000 amt hay"

LONDON, Jan. 80 -R- Britain

brightest golf and racing season
in history.
The Professional Golfers asso-

Numerous overseas stars, 1nclud-

the South African, Bobby Locke,
are expected to. compete in the
British open at st. Andrews in
July in pursuit of the title now
held by Dick Burton, who won it
on the same links in 1889.

courses were ploughed UP to grow
food or were used. as testing

Racing is set to come back with
rush. The program for the first
half of the flat racing season pro-
vides sport for the turf fans on
every day from April until the
end OF June, except for four Mon
days.
Figures just released disclose
