Boxing Hall Of Fame
Is Urged at Dinner
Honoring Tony zaIe
By Sid FEEDER
A.soeioted Press Sports Writer

NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-SurvivorS
Of the New York boxing writer's
annual eating and drinking derby
were buzzing today with talk OF
a Hall of Fame for the sport and
a campaign to curb punch-drunken-
ness.
Actually, last nights party in
Ruppert's Brewery was put on to
present the Edward ]. Neil Me-
mortal Award to Middleweight
Champion Tony zale as the man
who did the most for boxing in
1916.
The trophy is awarded In memory
of the Associated Press sports writer
and war correspondent killed dur
ing the civil strife in Spain in
1888. Former Postmaster General
James A. Farley, a one-time New
York boxing commissioner, made
the presentation.
In addition, Zale, the Gary Qnd3
steel-mill puddler also took home
the Ring Magazines award as
1946's fighter of the year." Pro-
moter Mike Jacobs, now recover
ing from a cerebral hemorrhage.
won the boxing writer's trophy for
"long and meritorious service" to
the sport, and the Damon Runyon
Cancer Fund was given part OF the
dinners proceeds.
But aside from the posy-throwing
for Zale and Uncle Mike" the large
hangover from the oratorical erup-
ton was left by the suggested plans
for the Hall of Fame and the drtye
in New York to keep fighters from
winding up with bells ringing IN
their heads.
Those old sparring partners, the
National Boxing Association and the
New York State Athletic Commits
sion, each took credit for one OF
these developments.
Abe J. Greene, president OF the
NBA, came up with the suggestion
for the Hall of Fame, built some
thing along the lines of the base
ball shrine at Cooperstown, N. Y.
Abe even went so far as to pledge
the NBA to collaborate with the
New York Boxing Writer'S Associa-
ton on it. And Brig. Gen. John Reed
Fitzpatrick, president of Madison
Square Garden, offered part OF the
proposed new block-square Garden
as the site for the hall.

Kentucky HilItopper,
Tossing Fine Record
AT Hoya Cagers

Western Kentucky State makes Its
third stop on the Ned Irish-con-
trolled Eastern college basket ball
circuit tonight when the rangy Hill
toppers meet Georgetown at Uline
Arena at 8:45.
The visitors have won nine in a
row. including their first two stops
on the Irish circuit against Canisius
in Buffalo and st. Johns in New
York.
Ed Diddle, whose teams have won
eight Southern Intercollegiate Ath-
Iletic Association titles and IL Ken
lucky IAA crowns at Western
Kentucky, has eight ex-servicemen
from the team that advanced to
the final of the National Invitation
tournament in 1912.
Diddle, incidentally, is terror
on the bench and will be supplied
with a number of towels which he
is reported to throw to the ceiling,
slam to the floor, eat or cry into IT,
depending upon how the game goes.
The Kentuckians started slowly
this year. and lost two of their first
three games, to the University OF
Louisville and Bowling Green. They
came back to drub their conquerors
in return games, however, and have
won 10 out of IL and own one of the
longest winning streaks in the
country.
Outstanding is Oran Mckinney,
who was just about all-everything
in two previous years before his
service with the Marines. The Hill
toppers, who carry the same nick
name as Georgetown, are big, aver
aging about 6-foot-3, and fast.
The Western Kentucky team is
in the running for postseason honors
on the strength of its record to date.
Coach Elmer Ripley will try still
another Georgetown starting team
tonight, with Tom O'Keefe lining
up with Danny Kraus, Andy Kos
tecka, Ray Corley and Ed Brembs.
GEORGETOWN has won seven and lost
four.

Redskins Expected to Trade
Jacobs for Packer Pair odoy

1947- season, is certain Bill Dudley
will be back in uniform.
The problem of working out a
1947 schedule may have been SIM
plified somewhat by Commissioner
Bert Bells action in sending several
tentative schedules to all club own
ers for their perusal and criticism
Washington's Redskins, who meet
the Chicago Cardinals at Denver In
an exhibition next September, also
will meet Charley Trippi at Griffith
Stadium if George Marshall gets the
games he wants. In addition to all
Eastern rivals the Tribes boss wants
to book the Cards, Bears and De-
troit Lions at home.
Washington apparently is assured
of six home games next season
The clamor of certain teams fol
seven home dates is almost certain
to fail because of footballs inability
to get into the baseball parks early
enough to play longer schedules.

Greenberg Is Quoted
As Saying He Has
3Good YedrsLeft
TIGERS STRONG without Hank,
says pilot. See Page CO.
By the Associated Press

DETROIT, Jan. 23.-Sports Edi-
tor Bob Murphy of the Detroit Times
today quoted Hank Greenberg, de-
posed Detroit Tiger first baseman
as saying, II have at least three
more years of good baseball in my
system"
Murphy, writing from New York
City, where he interviewed Green
berg, described the big home-run
hitter as "visibly shocked" but "ap-
parently not embittered toward any
one" because of his sale to the Pitts
burgh Pirates.
"You sports writer's should de-
mand to know why was waived out
of the American League; should ask
the Tiger management why I was
let CO." the Times quoted Green
berg.
Murphy said Greenberg told him
he had no immediate forewarning
of his sale to Pittsburgh via the
waiver route. His first news of the
deal came in telegram from the
Detroit club which Greenberg
thought was "a rib," Murphy said
Later he heard the news on the
radio and was stunned.
The sportswriter said Greenberg
told him "he never has tried to buy
into the Pittsburgh Club as has
been advertised"
Greenberg defended his sizable
salary as a Tiger player, repeatedly
in the neighborhood of 100000 last
year, telling Murphy:
Il earned it or they Wouldn't
have paid me big dough"
Murphy continued, quoting Green
berg:
"That picture in the Sporting
News caused the damage. But I still
don't think that was the real rea-
son for my release"
The picture, said to have taken In
1943, showed Greenberg holding a
New York Yankee uniform.
Murphy concluded:
"You can bet this-Hank Green
berg will be in baseball this season
as an active player with Pittsburgh
or somebody else"
The photograph mentioned by
Greenberg showed the former De-
troit star holding the top OF a
New York Yankee uniform in his
hands. 1t was taken in 1943 when
Hank was in the Army Air Force
and had been called to New York
to play in an all-star war bond
game. At the time Greenberg wore
an Army uniform.

FuIks Can Be Curbed
Gage CapitoIs Show
In Dramatic Win
By Bill Fuchs

Capt. Bob Feerick's fiction-like
last-second shot that gave Wash
ington's Capitols their 57-55 victory
over the Philadelphia Warriors last
night in Uline Arena blotted out
for time the most startling revela-
ton of the basket ball game: Joe
Fulks can be stopped!
True, Fulks, leading counter o1
the Basket Ball Association OF
America, led the scoring with 20
points, but eight OF those points
were collected from the charity
stripe and Is registered when re-
serves were assigned to shadow him
Bones Mckinney had the job at
the start and kept Fulks' hot hand
iced with a fine bit OF lodging
weaving and jumping. But Nc
Kinney rolled up four personal fouls
to become so close to elimination
that reserves took over the assign
ment of checking the Philadelphia
sharpshooter.
Must Be Watched Closely.
Fulks had scored only one field
goal against Mckinney and Long
John Mahnken, who was given the
busines of breaking the wild war
rior after five minutes had gone by
in the third period, held the scor-
ing wizard to two points, both free
tosseS.
"Sure he can be stopped" says
Mahnken. Hes good and you have
to stay on him like a leech, time
his jumps and jump with him."
Mckinney says the one and only
solution is to keep Fulks from get
ting the ball.
"You have to give him credit,
says the long, lanky North Carolin-
ian, "he's good and you can't leave
him alone" .g
The Caps started fiashily, rolling
up a 23-1 advantage in the first
nine minutes. But the Warriors
paced by Howie Dallmar and Jerry
Fleischman, closed the gap ano
surged ahead by six points in the
final frame.
