covered his mistake, however, he
came every day to look at the

Many things have changed at the

back a successful one by coming off
the floor to stop George Kochan
in the seventh round, Philadelphia
Billy Fox planned today to desert
the 175-pound division and shoot
exclusively at the big fellows.
Billyis manager, Blinky Palermo,
said that Fox had trouble making
175A pounds for his 10-rounder
with Kocfan at st. Nicholas Arena
last night. That, Palermo said, was
part Of the reason for his slow start.
So, Billy will take vacation of
some two months with plenty of
tree-chopping and hiking in the
woods and then will return to the
ring as heavyweight.
Making his first start since his
knockout by Champion Gus Lesne-
vich in title bid five weeks ago,
the Philadelphia Negro recovered
from a first-round knockdown and

Hickey May Pull Surprise
Naming New Pilot Today
BY the A,,eeiotsd Press

BROOKLYN, April IA new
Brooklyn Dodger manager to sue
ceed the suspended Leo Durocher
may be named today
Branch Hickey, president of the
Brooks, said he still hadn't made UP
his mind as to Durocners successor
but some observers believe he might
make a surprise selection today.
One of the contributing factors to
Rickey's delay is whether the man
he names is to be merely fll-in
until Durocher returns or whether
1t would be a permanent appoint
ment.
Clyde Sukeforth currently is man.
aging the Dodgers, but whether he
will continue after the season opens
next week stiu is in doubt.
