 New Thomoston Bowling Center

Thomaston, Sept. 19-Ernest Rug gie, popular local business man, stated today that according to present plans he will have his new bowling center in operation ap- proximately the middle of October. MT. Ruggie plans to have the lat est alleys and bowling equipment that can be purchased, installed. Seven alleys will be installed, which is one more than was in operation when the alleys were owned and operated by Mrs. Mamie MacDon- nell. The alleys which she oper- ated have been removed and sold to Washington, Conn.,, interests.

Champ Hit With Sucker Punch

New York, Sept. 19 - (UP) - After 10 years, deadpan Joe can still be hit with 8 sucker right.
 Heavyweight Champion Joe Louis reeled and staggered away from a ripping right by Tami Mauriello and for a brief moment it looked like a return of the first fight with Max Schmeling in 1886.
 It was a sucker punch and Joe knew it.
 Tt made me mad" Louis admit ted in his Yankee Stadium dressing room. T was mad at myself. knowed he was gonna throw one but when it came l was surprised"
 Whether Louis was mad at him. self or at Maurieuo 1t made no diff ference for he came back of the ropes and whaled into tough Tami with both hands until Tami could stand it no more. On his second trip to the canvas, Mauriello stayed.
 T figured the fight wrong" Louis said. T thought he would rush out and gamble with big punch but he held back while and that's when he hit me with surprise punch"
 Mauriello, who never had been knocked out in his life, was no tougher than anybody else, Louis said.
 Tt was as easy as the Bill Conn fight" Joe said, "'cept Billy was harder to catch up with"
 Not Hurt?
 Louis was unmarked from the single blow he caught and he said he was neither hurt nor dazed. Ringsiders thought differently and if there was a future challenger in the crowd he must have taken heart
 T expect I'll fight somebody in- doors in February" Louis said. T don't know who they got for me next but I don't guess it makes much difference"
 The champ was more worried about his cold than anything else. His trainer, Mamie Seamon, kept him bundled in heavy towels, while questioners persisted. He warned Joe to sit still and stay covered.
 Guess I'll rest a while today, but I got some golf comin' up Friday, Saturday and Sunday over at Belle vile, N. J." he said. No more fghtin' till Winter"

| Jenkins Ex-Char,1p, Nouu Trainer for
 | Army Gridders

Temple, Tex. Sept. 19. (UP)- Sgt. Lew Jenkins, onetime light weight boxing champion of the world, has taken up duties as train CT for the football team of the sec ond armored Heel on Wheels" Division at Nearby Camp Hood.
 An old army man who began his fighting career just decade ago while on 60-day furlough, Jenkins went up to the top quickly, winning the lightweight crown in just four years. He came down fast, too, and only this spring was knocked out in Houston by Henry Majcher in a comeback attempt.
 Keeping the team in top physi- cal shape is really full time job," Lew reported from the clubhouse where he was giving rubdowns be- fore a scrimmage session.
 Jenkins has laid down strict rules prohibiting smoking and drinking and has seen to it that the team does a daily stint at track work and calisthenics.
 Its all for their own good" said the sergeant.
 Got There Fast
 He now is assigned to the divi- sion athletic and recreation office.
 It was in 1886 while in the army that Lew began his boxing career. After the success of his furlough fighting, he turned professional and gained 8 discharge. Then he gained the reputation of man with 8 mean right hand and won his first eight fights by knockouts. Going to New York and the big time, Lew won 12 straight outs by the KO. route-and the lightweight crown from Lou Ambers, in 1940.

Paul Schnieber Unsung Hero
 or Red S0x
BY JOSEPH NOLAN United Press Sports Writer

Boston, Sept. 19-(UP)-If the Boston Red Sox were naming the most valuable" player in the Am erican League, Paul Schreiber would be as good as in today.
 But baseball's deepest thinkers, who award the title annually, prob- ably will overlook Schreiber be- cause:
 He gives up about 100 hits every time he pitches.
 He never appears in a regular game.
 He is virtually unknown.
 Those making the award are like ly to forget that he pitches more balls over the plate in one week than Dave Ferriss and Tex Hugh son combined.
 Schretber, you see, is the Red sox batting practice pitcher. From Manager Joe Cronin right down to the batboy, the Red Sox will tell you he has done as much to make Boston 8 winning ball club as any of his more famous teammates. Cro- min thinks so highly of him that he brought him back to Boston with the regulars this week for "vaca- ton" before the World Series. A specialist in control, the six foot four inch righthander lays the ball in the groove so Ted Williams Bobby Doerr, Johnny Pesky, Rudy York and the others can hit 1t.
 The harder they hit, the happier Schreiber is.
 Confidence
 Ten years on the job have con- vinced him that the players who wallop few over the fence in prac- tice go into a game with the in- creased confidence that makes g winner.
 A big league hurler until his arm went dead, Schreiber made his bat ting practice debut with the New York Yankees in 1887. At the time famed "murderers' row" was mirec in an August batting slump. But swinging against Schreiber gave the players confidence, and once in . game they kept hitting everything within range.
 The Tanks went on to win the American League pennant that year and polished off the Giants in g five-game World Series. Schreibe1 kept pitching and the Tanks kept fitting-and winning. Five time. in the next six years they grabbed the American League flag.
 Early this season, the Red So, signed the 43-year- Schreibel and they've been happy about i ever since.
 After hitting his down-the-mid- dle ball, the players feel they car go into regular game and hit any thing. And statistics show they are not far wrong. Throughout thu season, the Sox have set the pace in team batting, and their player have monopolized the individual hit ting honors in the junior circuit.
 If I could hit against that guy lSchreiber every day in the week, kidded Williams, "Td be batting .95O."

Apparently the Louis-Mauriello two-n1inute exhibition of modified murder last night was the Louis 6chmeing second fight all over again, with the one exception that Mauriello threw his Sunday punch, landed and hurt the champ, but did not have enough left above his shoulders, to know what to do next

Draft Dodgers At West Point And Annapolis?
By JOHN A. CLUNEY

Whether or not he particularly cares for being mixed up in the Mo- Williams case which involves two in- stitutions of learning, U. s. Military Academy at West Point, N. Y. and University of Mississippi State; the president of the United States, through his military aide, Major General Harry Vaughn, has been catapaulted into the football mess that again reached crescendo pitch, when Shorty" McWilliams recently resigned his status as 8 cadet at West Point. to go back to Mississippi State for football, where he played before Pearl Harbor.
 Before McWilliams, two Anna polls midshipmen, Bob Kelly and Clyde (Smackover) Scott, all three of whom played in the Philadel- phia Arrny-Navy game last De- cember; and better than ordinary backs, pulled out of the U. s. Naval academy to go back to Notre Dame and Arkansas to play foot ball. McWillians college coach, Allyn McKeen of Mississippi, charged that the Army brass" wouldn't allow McWilliamS to re- sign from West Point; which Gen. eral Taylor, commandant at US. MA. and Coach Red Blaik promptly denied; and to prove the point, McWilliams signed his res ignation for the second or third time, and within 6 week, it was passed by the War Department at Washington (entirely on General Taylor's recommendation, it may be presumeO.
 Now that the matter seemed to have quieted down a bit; Major General Vaughn, military aide to President Truman, comes to front and center with the opinion, pub licly expressed, that men who re- sign from West Point and Anna polls to play football at other schools, NOW THAT THE SHOOTING IS OVER, look like DRAFT DODGERS. More i'm portant, General Vaughn stated that the president, in discussing the matter, agrees with him.
 How the general and president happened to talk over the situation, came about, when Vaughn received plenty of mail from irate parents, wanting to know why West Point and Annapolis football players were not drafted; especially when they left the military and naval reserva- tionS to play football elsewhere. Bob Kelly started the $64 questions when he quite Annapolis; followed by Scott; both of whom may play for Notre Dame and Arkansas; while McWilliau1S and his Mississippi coach added fuel to the flames dur ing recent weeks.
 General Vaughn, taking up the cudgel for the parents of drafted men, states his case quite plainly when he said: "they CMcWilnams, Kelly, Scott) have spent 2 or 3 years being educated at government ex- pense at the academies WHERE THEY ARE DRAFT EXEMPT. Now, when the shooting is over, they re- sign. Doesn't it look as if the only reason they ever went to West Point or Annapolis in the first place was to avoid the draft?" Both Mo- Williams and Scott are advanced ROTC students. Under draft regu- lations, all advanced military stu dents are entitled to draft defer ment.
