JAS Major Clubs Sign
|95% Of Players
BY the Associuisd Press

NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-The old
baseball axiom that contended play
ers make the best players viii be
thoroughly tested this year.
With majority OF the is major
league clubs not due to begin their
actual spring training grind until
next week, approximately 95 per
cent Of the 600 big leaguers already
have signed their 1947 contracts.
OF the 80 or so players still out
side the fold some have given in
dication that they will bring in
their signed contracts when they
arrive at their respective training
camps. A player is not officially
listed as holdout until he is over
due in camp.
The biggest i1ame-and probably
the most adamant holdout-is slug
ging Stan Musial, the National
League batting champ, who was the
big gun in the st. Louis Cardinals
drive to the flag and subsequent
world title last year.
Other regulars in the holdout
brigade include Rudy York, hard
hitting first baseman of the Bos-
ton Red Sox; Pitcher Dizzy Trout
and Outf1elder- First Baseman Roy
Cullenbine Of the Detroit Tigers,
Southpaw Howie Pollet of the Car
dinals, Babe Young, New York
Giants: Phil Mast, Boston Braves;
Buddy Lewis, Washington Sen
ators; Augie Galan, Cincinnati
Reds, and Ron Northey and
Oscar Judd, Philadelphia Phillies.
Lewis and Galan have notified their
respective managers that they will
discuss their contracts when they
arrive in camp.
The most serious Of the holdouts
appears to be Musial. He is dicker-
ing for a salary which would place
him among the highest brackets in
National League history. Reports
are that Musial, who. drew about
$4,000 last year, Is demanding $780,
900. Owner Sam Breadon Is re-
ported to have countered with an
offer of $4,000, .sMt

the entire course was ahead Of
schedule and only an extremely late
spring would delay the opening.
Treasurer Robert M. Stearns re-
ported more than $4,000 had been
subscribed by the stockholders
while the next $25, 900 will 60 on
the clubhouse. A third drive for
$4,000 for the second nine holes
will be held after the course is
opened. Ten shares of stock have
been sold in the names of Junior

AL officers were reelected, Deal
as president, LIE Due as first vice
president, s. j. Solomon as second
vice president, Raymond E. Gable,

Hursey Crowd Fuller
After Stirring Win
Over Tough Arnold

Smuggy HurSey has the golden
touch. From now on he's box Office
magic; the customers will lay it on
the line, but heavily, 70 see him
fight. Once thee New York crowd
sees Washington's Southwest Kid In
action he can write his own ticket.
There have been others like that
Rocky Graziano, Ruby Goldstein,
Kid Chocolate, Beau Jack with
ability to please the customers re-
gardless of whether they won cham
pionships, and smuggy is headed
for that company.
It was a fight with Billy Arnold
that shot Graziano into the money
making class and the Southwest
Kid used that same stepping stone
last night at Uline Arena. It was
q great fight. For 10 terrific rounds
these middleweights battled and at
the end it was Hursey in front on
everybody's score sheet. Fffty-six
hundred fight addicts were on their
feet for those last rounds and they
rocked the arena with roars Of ap-
proval for both fighters.
There was 30 rounds of real fght-
ing jammed into those 10 rounds.
There wasn't one clinch. 1t was
hammer, hammer, hammer all the
way, and only once did Referee
Harry Volkman have to break the
boys. That was in the ninth when
Hursey battered Arnold halfway
through the ropes.
Arnold no Pushover.
Arnold was no pushover, but Hur-
sey was unstoppable. Almost from
the start he took command, moving
in close and endlessly shooting in
blows in style that more and more
resembled that of his manager,
Henry Armstrong. Arnold tried
away and sharpshooting
with his good left hook, but he
couldn't get away from Hursey. The
kid loves to fight, and he did a
terrific job last night. The rs
favorite Arnold won the third and
the seventh was even. The rest
went to Hursey.
As early as the second round
Hursey showed he had an upset in
the making. He caught Arnold in
a corner, and for a full minute gave
him q head and body pounding.
Arnold fought back, but just
couldn't hurt Hursey. It went on
that way for round after round,
getting better all the time. Arnold
would sock Hursey with q success
sion Of good punches, but it ap-
parently had no effect on the
Southwest kid. As soon as Hursey
could move in close he'd take over
and do q job.
The ninth was Hursey's best. It
started with Arnold shooting over
a solid right to the chin. 1t hurt
Hursey, but like in other fights
where he's been hurt, he came back
twice as strong. That right, Ar
nold's best blow of the whole fight,
just pulled out the plug. Hursey
shook it of and viciously came
along to pound Arnold all over the
lot. Only real gameness kept the
Philadelphia boy on his feet. He
was helpless and several times was
knocked almost through the ropes,
but he just wouldn't go down. He
lay on the ropes and took it.
Preliminaries Also Good.
The prelims, too, mostly were
good and the whole card erased all
memory of that previous poor show
at Uline. Best of the supporting
goes was the six-round semifinal,
a draw between Jerry Meklin, New
York, and Mickey Garcia, Puerto
Dira

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan.
21.-Decline in the ratio of
persons of Japanese ancestry
to the total population of Ha-
wall was reported this week
in Territorial Governor In
gram M. Stainback's annual
report to Secretary of Interior
Krug.
Gov. Stainback said that Ha-
waits population was estimated at
519, 5O3 and declared that the eau
casian element in the territory's
population has more than doubled
since 1910.
at that time it numbered "a
542, or 1892 per cent of the total"
Stainback said. 1T now numbers
173, 533, or 33.43 per cent of the to-
tai. This represents the outstand-
ing shift in Hawaii's civilian pop
ulation in the past decade"
(Hawaii's population of persons
of japanese ancestry is estimated
to be $4,000. of which more than
10000 are American citizens by
right of birth in the territory or
n the continental United States.

according to Will Maslow, director

1t is expected that the American

because it discriminates on racial

If you've been hoping to be

probably have a long wait, ac-
cording to information con-
tanned in a recent survey ar

There is little likelihood that
travel will be open to the Orient
until at least 1913 although recon-
version on me Matson and Amer
lean President Line passenger
ships from transport duty by mid
year is expected to open Hawaii
to tourist travel.
The shortage of housing facili-
ties and food will keep travellers
out of the Far East for the State
Department will not permit gen.
eral travel until conditions are
much improved.
An official of the Japan Section
of the State Department recently
said that general travel to Japan
will not be permitted until the
food situation improves.
Pan American, the only active
line in the Far Eastern field, OPP
crates passenger service to
Tokyo, Shanghai. Canton, Hong
Kong, Calcutta. Rangoon, Bang
kok and Batavia. That firm, how
ever, expects little travel in 1947.
Even approved travelers-per-
sons with urgent business, re-
patriates, missionaries and civilian
government workers-are hiding
their time waiting for ships and
planes to carry them across.

Says Syphilis
Can Be Cured
With Riqht Aid

Eyes, syphilis can be cur
ed" was the answer given by
DR.. Wayne Sims, Director of
Venereal Disease Control, Sc
attic Department of Public
Health, to a question put to
him by a reporter who is seek
ing to learn the facts about
syphilis, one of the two impor-
tant venereal diseases.
How can syphilis be cured,
doctor?"
Through proper treatment by
your physician or at the Health
Department Clinic answered DIR.
Sims, especially in the early
stages of the disease. The greatest
number get cured quickest when
/ treatment is started during the
first few weeks of the disease"
what causes syphilis, DOCTOR"
"A tiny germ called a spiro-
chaete, which spreads from one
person to another through init
mate contact"
what is the course of the
disease, doctor, if untreated?"
Some time during the first
eight weeks a sore appears at the
spot where the germ entered the
body. 1t may be SO small or in
such a hidden place that it is not
noticed. After a few weeks, the
sore heals, leaving a scar. In the
meantime, the germs quickly get
into the blood stream and are car
ried to all parts of the body, where
they begin to do their damage.
The heart, blood vessels, brain,
nerves, liver, bones, or eyes may
be damaged"
Then it is true that syphilis
may lead to insanity?"
"Untreated syphilis frequently
does lead to insanity, and the care
of these persons in our mental
hospitals involves hundreds of
thousands of the taxpayers dol
lars. But there is no excuse for
this end result if persons who sus-
pect they have syphilis would seek
treatment early"
DR.. Sims is cooperating with the
Seattle Junior Chamber of Com
merce in its educational program
to teach the facts about the We
nereal diseases.
