MELBOURNE, Australia, Dec. g.
-Australia's stellar doubles team
of Jack Bromwich and Colin Long
defeated Gardnar Mulloy and Billy
Talbert, United States champions,
6-3. 6-4, a6, 6-3 today in the
finals of the Victorian tennis cham
pionships.
The Americans complained at one
point about Bromwich's habit OF
dropping his second ball in mid
court after putting his first service
in play. Bromwich drops the second
bali in order to utilize his two
handed forehand.
Mulloy and Talbert said the
bouncing ball disconnected them
and destroyed their concentration
The umpire said there was moth
ing in the rules to cover the case
and permitted Bromwich to con-
tinue.
It was indicated that the Ameri-
cans will seek a special ruling on
the case before the Davis Cup
matches later this month.

Abrams Of D. T.. Puts
French Boxing Ace
On MettIe Tonight
By fhs Associated Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-The highly
publicized Marcel Cerdan, French
middleweight champion, opens a
campaign designed to capture the
world 160-pound title when he faces
George Abrams of Washington, a
top contender, in his American de-
but tonight at Madison Square Gar
den.
Never knocked out, never deci-
stoned and never knocked off his
feet, the rugged French sailor from
Casablanca appears to have cap
tured the imagination of the fight
fans who are expected to turn out
1900 strong and make possible a
$4,000 gate.
Abrams, also an ex-sailor with
almost four years in the United
States Navy, rates near the top Of
the heap reaching for Tony Zale's
title by his upset victory over slug
ger Steve Belloise last summer.
Tireless and Aggressive.
Although Cerdan won several in
ter-Allied tournaments in North
Africa during the war. nobody over
here knows if he really can fight as
good as his record indicates. Squat
tily built at 5-foot-7 and 158 pounds,
the Casablanca clouter is reported
to be a tireless workman, aggressive
in his tactics.
According to the record books,
only his age, charitably reported at
80, is against him in his American
debut. In So bouts he has lost only
two, both on fouls.
Preparing for his 10-round bout
with Abrams, the foreign boxer has
spared only two rounds daily,
leisurely contrast to the American
system. Johnny Dundee describes
his style as American" but Lu-
Glen Roupp, his manager. says he
changes his attack to suit the op-
position.
Many Victims Unfamiliar.
Although Cerdan's record contains
a long list of unfamiliar fighters,
he holds wins over the veterans
Cleto Locatelli and Saverio Turiello
and outboxed Holman Williams in
Paris last summer. In his last start,
october 20, he knocked out the Pole,
Pankowiak, in five rounds of .
Partisan bout.
If he can get past Abrams, the
French champ hopes to establish
himself as the foremost challenger
of zale, who defends his cham
pionship against Rocky Graziario
March 81.
The last Frenchman to hold the
160-pound crown was Marcel Thil
in 1882 and he was recognized in
New York State.

Friction With Major!
Eased by 1rautman,
New Minor Boss
BY the Associated Press

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 6.-Minor
leaguers' resentment against their
big brothers disappeared today under
the general influence of George
Trautman, new boss of all baseball
outside the National and American
Leagues.
Elected unanimously to succeed
72-year-old Judge w. G. Bramham
as president of the National Associa-
tion at $25, 900 yearly, Trautman was
described by President Frank
Shaughnessy Of the international
League as a man who has the con-
fidence of the independents and
Others"
Rejecting this harmonious trend,
the. minors were called back into
session after final" adjournment
yesterday, to thresh out differences
of opinion over the major minor
league working agreement develop
ing behind closed conference doors.
Trautman, 55-year-old executive
vice president of the Detroit Tigers,
divided his attention between the
separate major and minor meetings.
Bramham remains as "consultant"
at $4,000 yearly.
The majors. after announcing a
general 1947 opening date of April
IS, and a closing date of September
%, thereby fixing the season again
at l54 games, took up minor league
proposals for revision of existing
rules. The proposal for 1853 games
in 1947 had developed strong oppo-
sition, chiefly because it would upset
all records.
The present maj minor working
agreement expires January IL, 1947,
and unless new one is adopted the
old one will be automatically re-
newed. This agreement covers
waivers, options. rights of players
and clubs and the general legislative
side of baseball.
Yesterdays session of the National
Association rejected a proposal for
standard baseballs in all leagues. A
resolution to dissolve the association
and place all baseball under Com
missioner A. B. Chandler was in
definitely and unanimously tabled.

Special Dispatch TO The stor

HIGH POINT, N. c., Dec. O.
Billy Hayes, 170-pound Washington

and Moreland was not far behind.
Both finished their high school ath-
letic careers when the Western foot
ball team played its last game two
weeks ago.
Back from last years starting five
are Norm Wacker and Lou Negri,
forwards, and Estel Hostettler, CEN
ter. Negri is short boy but good
ball handler and set shot, while the
two others are close to the 6-foot
mark and also capable floor men.
None of this trio, however, has the
shooting eye displayed by Castro
last season. Those up from last
years Junior quint who apparently
have the best chance of breaking
into the starting lineup with them
are Ed Sylvester, Jim Stratos, Sonny
Markham and Buddy Brizendine.
From the start of practice sessions
nearly month ago it was apparent
that this years Western team will
be better balanced than was last
years. There's hardly standout
on the squad. Last season the op-
position frequently used two men to
guard Castro, and any time he was
held to less than 10 points it was
bad news for Western. This time
the opposition can't afford to con-
centrate on stopping any individual
Moore doesn't know just how to
rate his team, but he does like its
balance. "Our boys are the kind
who play together we'll" he says
"and they'll either all be good or
Just mediocre. I'll know a little
more by Christmas after they've
had those three warmup games, but
I think we'll have smooth team
anyway. We might get in the
playoffS."

with other feminine attachments
strictly are holdovers from the war
