was able to pile up score of 56 for all = with many dissenting from the opinion of Umpire Wal ter Isaacs, who donned the long white coat for West India.
 West India scored 59 for 2 and would not have made that. high score if that 'fbugaboo" of inde- cent cricket did not show his ap- pearance because Ossie Newton trundIed for Universal with such success he captured 5 wickets for 25 runs = these included the fam ous Lester Benn in his familiar weak spot of L. B. W. We wondered why Umpire Isaacs recalled Griffith back to bat after the conference of one of the fielders.
 It was indeed an ugly act, and if this kind of performances con- tinues for the next three months, I predict that cricket will not be worth sacrificing work in order to attend "a game.
 Joe Braithwaite, a former Stan- dard member (and a good one, tool umpired for Universal with dignity and integrity. His act should be copied and exemplified by all umpires for the rest of the season.
 Universal will take the place of Standard as far as real cricket playing is concerned; they have the tools by which the work will be done successfully. We under stand MT.

The cricket season of 1946 started off last Saturday with the contesting teams playing al Franklin Field, Dorchester ant Brighton playground in the city of Cambridge.
 The scores of Greenville co ant Windsor second eleven; Windsor and Newton were not available uI to the time of this writing.
 The match at Brighton between Universal CC and West India CC the youngest and the oldest club in the league, was well attended by the cricket followers. Cricket in Cambridge during the past five years or more has been on forced vacation, due mostly to the recent World War. The appearance of cricketers again in Brighton brought back memories of long ago when Athletics was the best, then Standards CC came to the scene to be followed by University and later the Middlesex CC.
 My observation is that Univers- al CC is made up chiefly of the men who played for the clubs mentioned above.
 Universal CC opened the season with familiar faces playing for them namely: Ossie Newton, Fitz Haynes, Maitland Lynch, Clarence White, George Allen, "Chic" Greene, Leroy Johnson, Oswald Matthews, Joe Braithwaite. Of course they were not all selected to play in last Saturdays match but they are members and officers of the Universal CC.
 The games, as scheduled started shortly after 2 o'clock with West India taking the field, and Univers- al at the wicket. The bowling of West India was a little stubborn ou the Universal held them and

Around Boston


 The city was alive with news around the Bean town last week The greatest news was the return of the Red Sox in first place, al- though many figured they would return a beaten team. The cry around was, "wait until they hit the West!" Just when are the we'll wlshers going to run out of ex- cuses concerning the rise of the Red iSox? This Red Sox team has spirit and intestinal fortitude and the will to win. The combination IS hard to beat. Another factor in their favor is the 'fOld Pennant Fever" Reserves are filling in in grand style. Lazor won a game for the Sox when DiMaggio was ailing, Russell played like Pie Traynor at the hot corner, after the ISox had purchased Pinky Hig- gins. There lies the success of the new Red Sox.
 ***********
 The other good news was. the hitting and fielding of Jackie Rob- inson, who is playing like a real champ and causing all teams in the International League quite some concern. He has also made the other teams respect him for his good playing and sportsman ship. Even the good old southern boys have learned to like the chap with his daring base running and timely hitting. Buffalo showed ther interest in the lad, and also Ray Partlow by giving them day. Kneeland B. Wilkes, president of the Buffalo city council, presented the athletes with wallets, purses, precision watches and a set of travelling bags, it was indeed an indication of the manner in which they are receiving the colored ball players all over the International league. Up in Toronto, they also turned out in large numbers to see the colored lads in action, and Jackie, didn't disappoint them with

belting Tami, who already shows just a hint of becoming boastful Tami. Woodcock left some doubt in the minds of the spectators about the advisability of banging away at an obvious target as the best means of winning. Tami has got stomach that appears to need only the slightest encouragement to hang in beautifully draped folds. From where we sat his bread basket seemed to be the spot to attack, and Woodcock did store away quite a few blows in that region, but tough Tami never bat ted an eye.
 Mauriello Unscientific
 When Woodcock shifted his at tack and pelted away at the other legal sections of Mauriello's body, Tami seemed to regard his oppon- ent's blows as bothersome rain drops as he came in to belt the living bejeepers out of the Eng lishman. Tami doesn't use too much science in his attacks, and seems to rely upon his power and weight. He is a confident slugger, and did not drop his composure for a minute during the first few rounds when Woodcock made a monkey out of the boys who make up the odds by showing class, speed, style, in fact everything but enough experience.
 Mauriello is the sort of fighter who reacts to a stinging blow by getting angry. When he gets an- gry he blows in to hit back hard CT. He would be a sucker for Louis, who would bop him nasty one on the chin and then lift his head off his shoulders as he came in to get even. There were times when Woodcock might have bowled Tami over, but the Englishnlan just didn't seem to know when to wade in and follow up a neat advantage.
 Another factor to be taken into consideration is the F5omb-like power of a Joe Louis punch. Obvi- ously Woodcock doesn't pack enough dynamite in either hand to blast a fighter like Maurielo off his feet, but Louis has demon strated that when he hits them, they got to go. He made most of his waHops count with tough Tony Galento, and even though Tony went long way with the champ, he still remembers that he was in a fight and that he got hit by some of the toughest punches ever thrown at man. Sometimes Mau- riello reminds you of Galento and he has the same habit of occa- sionally throwing punches that are all power and no direction.
 Mauriello got in at least one low wallop on Woodcock, and it hurt plenty. The Englishman took it like a major, remembering, per- ihaps that previous English fight CTS have claimed foul so often as to cause some suspicion to be di- rected against them. This might have been a little psychological handicap, something that won't bother Joe, if and when he faces Tami.

LOUIS'S NEXT OPPONENT PICKED IF JOE OVERCOMES
 GOWNS SPEED

New York - Uncle Mike Jacobs who seems to be busy at other chorse besides the job of making a neat package on the Conn-Louis go next month, got himself the makings for another good and profitable show in September when Tami Mauriello slugged British Empire heavyweight champ Bruce Woodcock into a fifth round slum- Der a week or so ago. WoodcocL had hardly rinsed the buzzers and the bells out of his foggy brain before the wise boys were talking about a September championship go between the conqueror of the game Englishman and the winner of the June battle.
 Eve yybody seemed to take it for granted that Jolting Joe will be the man in command if and when Uncle Mikes fall promotion deal comes off, but some of the boys can't see Mauriello as his oppon- ent. Showing against Woodcock, Mauriello was trotted out with a surplus of fat around the waist that bulged over and made his trunks appear to be moulded into his flesh. He wasn't too fast, and here and there some of the boys remarked that Big Tami was re- acting as rapidly physically as his mental capacity gave the or ders. Be that as it may, Mauriello won, and showed plenty of power and punching ability in so doing. Woodcock Beaten By Inexperience
 While it is true that Woodcock, for all his gameness, and his ap- parent ability to outthink Mauriel- To, lost primarily because of his lack of experience, there is no gain saying the fact that Tami won a clean victory after four wounds of pretty even fighting against an opponent who had no intention of losing. Mauriello did stumble about like big guy who was strong and knew it, but there has to be some respect given to his ability to take a salve of sharp punches and come I5ack loaded for bear.
 Some of the talk around Mauri- ello's dressing room after the fight would lead you to believe that Tami gave his best performance against Woodcock because he had reason to believe that he was as close as any other heavy to an invitation to take a crack at the championship. Admittedly, what Mauriello showed against Wood cock is not enough even to put Joe Folkes 8 world of sports:l fjrifibt Louis in danger, but he is appar- ently the man of the moment so far as future contenders for the crown are concerned.
 Assuming that Joe successfully analyses Billy IConn's announced strategy to confuse him by mixing up a lot of speed with some pace changes, it is more than an even bet that Joe will don the gloves again in September to bowl over

Stassen Fears Results
# Any United Nations
Member Hides Plans

All the United Nations-includ-
ing the United States-should be
more frank with each other about
their plans if tragic results" are
to be avoided, Harold E. Stassen,
former delegate to the United Ma
tions Conference and ex-Minneso-
ia Governor, warned, a @
Mr.. Stassen, introduced as a
prominent figure in all 1948 presi-
dental election discussions, spoke
yesterday to the Women's National
Press Club at the Mayfiower Hotel
Unless "openness of informa-
ton" is encouraged between the
nations. America may jog along in
a ''fairyland" that will explode into
more trouble some day, Mr.. Stas-
sen said.
For example, the Republican lead
er pointed out, the United States
should announce which Pacific
bases it wishes to fortify perma-
nently.
There may be grounds to feel
that Russia, for instance, also is
holding back some of its plans, Mr..
Stassen continued. But all the ma
tions are doing it and all of them
need more understanding of each
other to make the United Nations
Organization work, he said.
Americans, who fear full United
States participation in the organ
ization, Mr.. Stassen went on, are
left over from the old isolationis&
idea" Concentration on domestic
issues is now impossible and the
international organization should be
a main concern of all citizens, he
said.
Amid applause, Mr.. Stassen said
the international organization is the
only hope of Americans for a sound
occupation of enemy territory and
world policing policy that will clear
up the demobilization issue.
With Mrs. Stassen, the speaker
was introduced by Mrs. Bess Fur
man Armstrong of the New York
Times, club president.
