Cochrans Gives Servo Title
 Chance Friday

New Yofk, Jan. 29~-Hafoly has O boxer shown more courage than Freddie (Red) Coohrane when he stood up before tho members of the New Yorg Boxing Wrlters' associa. ton one day last summer and said;
 ~f wouldn't think of calling you fellows buns before [ had a chance to read your columns. Don't can me d bum until I've had a chance Co prove how well I can fight"
 A few days later Che boxing writ- ers saw Cochrane fight. They even sew him lose. But they did not can him a bum. For Cochrane turned in a maglflcent performance against Middiewelght Rocky Graz lano. going down Co defeat in the tenth round after his strength ran out on him. N
 It was late-round weakness which cost Cochrsne victory over urazlano and it was the same failing which proved disastrous In e second meet ing with the same mlddlewelsht op- ponent.
 On Friday night ct Madison Square Garden Cochrane risks his world welterweiehs title against Marty Servo, ex-Coast 0uardsnan. In this fight, Cochrane is sure he will have the stamina to travel iif- teen rounds at a fast pace. if it becomes necessary to 90 that far.
 On the Road
 He has spent many weeks In hard training at Ehsan's camp, Summit, N J. much of it devoted Co road work. He has run and run and chen run some more. His legs are strong and sprlngy.
 It will be recalled that Cochrane said, following his losses to Grazi- ano, that it takes an ex-servlceman boxer a full year after his discharge to regain the stamina that he needs for the kind of energy expended in fisticuffs.
 It is now a year since his dis charge. He's had nine fights but only the Graxiano bouts were against major opposition.

Continued keen second round basketball competition is expected Co be resumed this evening wncn American Brass, first round winner but Q loser Co Scovlll In the second round, meets Bobby ureatorcx' Chase club ln on "A" division game that h apt to be more than a little exciting. Tn Q B" division prelln, Benrus, coached by Padriac Quilter, the Washington Hill hoop mentor, Is paired with Mike Papa's Matta- tucks starting at 0 D. m,
 Dancing will be In progress be- tween halves of the games and after the games have been ccm~ pleted.
 Out To Win
 Taking due notice of the ten point win over American Brass scored by sid Months Scovill E. R. A. club in the second round, Chase will bo out to defeat tonight's fa- vorites: ana with a wer-balanccd club including the tall Vic palaus- kas and high-scorers such as Lefty Adams, Red Dayton, George swan and Matty Koch, Chase has more than an outside chance to stop the Brassies, who have the toughest club in the league to beat, but an outfit which bogs down occas- ionally.
 Benris and Mattatucks may well rival the main go for action and excitement, as both teams are well- matched. Though Benrus is Q prs- game favorite, the Mats have the hoop talent to come through in sur- prising fashion.

This Sporting World
Here We Go Again
By JOHN A. CLUNEY

Quite 8 few basketballs have gone through the hoops since you were last regaled with a little of this and that relative to sports of all sorts. But, pneumonia, like many another ailment, does not pick and choose-it just gets you-and there you are, looking up at the ceiling.
 What I would like to say, though, most of all, is THANKS to the very many people, who, in their kindness and good will sent cards or telephoned with encouraging words that did as much as a load of pencillin, to get me back to the job. To the management and my co-workers on The Democrat, a particular sense of gratitude was felt throughout four weeks of rath- CT rugged going, the first of its kind to catch up with me since the good old Boys Club days, and that wasn't yesterday or the day before,

SAaAvGNA ARUU GNVAN8 VNNHtGE
 New York, Jan. %. (UP)-visions of old murderers' row haunted the American League today as big Bill Dickey came back to the New York Yankees.
 They thought two years ago that they had seen the last of the iron man catcher from Bastrop, La.
 That was the October day in SportSman's Park when the Yankees came up to 5th game of World Series needing but one victory to gain re. venge on the high flying St. Louis Cardinals. It was Q scoreless game up to the sixth inning, with Mort Cooper's fast one blowing down the Bronx Bombers. And then, with two away, Charley Keller singled through the infield and Dickey came to bat.
 He looked at a couple and then Cooper laid his high hard one down the center. Second later the ball rattled over the roof of the right field grandstand and the Yankees had the two runs which won the series.
 The following March, big Bill went into the Navy as lieutenant and eventually managed a Navy all- star team at Pearl Harbor. Mean while, as the Yankees watched two of the baseball classics from an un- familiar position on the sidelines, reports trickled back to the States that the big catcher who starred in eight World Series was through with baseball. Dickey, they said, was done and wanted to manage Q minor league team.
 But the husky guy who had ere ated major league record by catch. ing 100 or more games through l3 consecutive seasons, set these re- ports at rest today as he was re- instated on the active list and pre- pared to sign a contract for his 18th season with the Yankees.
 T definitely want to play base ball,' said Dickey, his grey eyes sparkling. I'm anxious to be back in harnesS-and I mean catching harness"
 It came as a real baseball sur- prise, for big Bill is over the hill in the catching department. He will be 39 next June and that makes him a graybeard among active peacetime players, particularly in the strenuous business behind the plate. But Dickey doesn't see it that way.
 Ambitious
 "Why shouldn't play?" he asks T feel fine and I'm in good shape Of course. don't mean to say IT catch 10 games but I'll do my best and that should be something"
 It will indeed. The Yankees have a catching Surplus with Mike Gar bark, who did most of the receiving last year; Aaron Robinson. who came back from the Coast Guard last season to share the duties; Ken Sears, also out of the Navy, and Bill Drescher. but none of these pretend to have the savvy or nnesse that Dickey could be called upon to give the Yankees in short and cru cial series.
 The six-foot. two inch veteran has been around a long time. He had been in organized ball four years when he became a Yankees regular in 1929 and one of the foremost members of old murdererS' row. And down through the years and the numerous World Series which tol- lowed, Dickey always was one oi

Corver's Ex-PrincipoI Asks
$4,000 For SIunder

Mr.. Roy Lee, eX-principal of
Carver High School entered suit in
Superior Court last Saturday, for
$4,000 against 2 former teachers
and 2 members of Carver's P.-T.A.
Mr.. Lee alleged that Mr.. Tom
Browne and Mr.. 0. B. Coleman,
teachers, and Mrs. M. H. Hagler
and Mrs. Ruby Chavalier, members
of Carver's P.-T.A. had caused him
to loose his position as Principal
and later other jobs which he had
aspired for, by their propaganda
and circulation of petition against
him.
It is reported that the whole
thing started over year ago while
Mr.. Lee was Principal at Carver.
A sworn statement was signed by
a former student of Mr.. Lee, con-
corning his conduct, unbecoming
a teacher, in the presence of the
two teachers and members of the
P.-T.A., which led Mr.. Lee to ac-
cuse the defendants of conspiracy
to rob him of his job, he said.
He is at present employed as
Deputy Sheriff of Maricopa Coun-
ty.
The defendants have been served
with citations, but no date has yet
been set for the trial.

white mob. Two days later, two
Negroes were shot and killed by
