There's an opening for another
Babe Didrikson in women's track
and field and Erich F. Pohl, head
man in staging the National AAU
junior and senior women's meet
here in the summer, hopes the girls
get the idea and do something
about it.
1.-THE Olympic Committee is very
much concerned over the lack OF
known women athletes of cham
pionship caliber," Pohl said. "Stella
Walsh, the present recordholder, Is
38 years old. Alice Coachman OF
Tuskegee is the only other outstand-
ing athlete. America is going tx
need lot more girl stars if it is to
win the women's division in the
Olympic games"
Somewhere in Texas, Pohl hopes
he will uncover another Didrikson-
girl with ability to carry on in
the spike prints of the immortal
Texas Babe who took the Olympics
by storm Is years ago. He invites
the other States to follow suit.

Or Robinson Fight if
State Backs NBA
BY the Associated Press

BOSTON, Feb. 20-At least one
boxing promoter hereabout is eager
to have either Rocky Graziano or
Sugar Ray Robinson, or both, come
here to fight if the Massachusetts
Boxing Commission sides with the
NBA.
The National Boxing Association
yesterday gave both boxers permis-
sion to fight in its territory, refusing
to uphold the ban put on the pair
by the New York State Commission
What action might be taken by
the Massachusetts, Commission had
not been determined.
Leo Conlon, commission secretary,
says that no suspension notices con-
corning either Graziano, middle
weight title contender, or welter-
weight champion Robinson, have
been received from New York.
Though we do join hands with
New York." said Conlon, "the agree
ment includes a phrase of right of
review in all cases and it is thor
oughly within our Jurisdiction
whether or not we deem the sus-
pensions too severe or unjust"
1t also was pointed out that
neither suspended fighter has a
license to fight in Massachusetts,.
Rip Valenti, matchmaker for the
Goodwin A. c., said he probably
would offer both men engagements
here, but added:
II haven't decided who I'd match
either with, if I could get them. I
might not be able to match some
guarantees there1l be offered, but
I'll try"
Graziano's New York license was
revoked-for an unspecified period
for failure to report 100000 offer
to throw a fight.
Robinson received q 30-day sus-
pension and was fined $500 for fail
ing to report an offer of $25, 900 not
to meet the required weight for
| fight.

Hialeah was on February 4, 1886,
when Benares and Absconder paid

The seventh race mixup was not
discovered until some time after the
program ended. The track issued
statement last night in which it said
"Gn error was made by the racing
judges who placed Alrepie third,
whereas photographs showed Din
ner Hour was the show horse"
The track said it would pay all
tickets on Alrenie and Dinner Hour.

Bobo Protege, Lacking
A Room, Sits Up All
Night in Debut
By Burton Howkins
Stor Stoff Correspondent

ORLANDO, Fla, Feb. 20-Rufus
Leonard's introduction to major
league surroundings left him un-
impressed. A 26-year-old rookie
who is a protege of Bobo Newsom,
the left-handed pitcher sat up all
night in the lobby of the Mats hotel
here upon his arrival because some
body had neglected to make a room
reservation.
Rufus, who would prefer to have
it Lefty" is a native of Hartsville,
S. c., which is noted principally for
producing Newsom. 1t was Bobo
who shepherded Leonard to Griffith
stadium last October and subjected
him to the scrutiny Of Clark Griffith
in a few practice pitches.
The Mats boss liked what he saw,
for he forked over a $4,000 bonus
to Leonard and signed him. Griffith
liked his fast ball and it's under
standable. Rufus struck out 1854
batters last season while winning
18 games and losing four with
Hartsvilie in the Palmetto State
League. Leonard won four more
games and lost two in the playoffs,
which gave him a 22-6 record for the
year.
Was i'm Army 20 Months.
A 195-pounder who stands 6 feet
1-inch, Leonard was in the Army
for % months as a field artillery
sergeant and participated in the
invasions of Leyte and OkinaWa
He received his discharge 13 months
ago and promptly established him
self as a fair sort of pitcher.
Leonard probably will be dis
patched to Charlotte or Chattanooga
unless his performances here are
spectacular. He's bidding for a job
against too many seasoned cam
paigners and his inexperience will
operate against him.
He didn't have much luck the last
time ne attempted to climb base
balls ladder. He had a trial with
Richmond, Va, in 1941, but that
ended when he came down. with
pneumonia and was shipped home
This time he hopes for something
better.
When the Mats launch spring
training tomorrow all batterymen
probably will be signed, Ray Scar
borough, only unsigned pitcher, has
notified Griffith he is en- route here

trouble from Jerry Priddy or Gil

National Duckp1n Bowling Congress

Center. To avert a riot, it may be
necessary for Davis to issue cards
of admission.
Perhaps the most remarkable
duckpin game in years was rolled
against Rosslyn by the Ribbons
Harry Peters. 1t was a fiat 100
In all bowling history only a few
perfect fiat games have been re-
corded and, in some of these, balls
were guttered to avoid spares In
bowling battles such as the Rib
bons and Rosslyns fought it would
be unthinkable to miss a stick de-
liberately.
AS remarkable as his score was
the fact is that Peters drew three
consecutive So splits on his second
ball, and swept the boards with his
third!
When a woman bowls game of
145 and set of 1862 in major league
she receives scant attention. But
these tallies, registered by Muriej
Wahl with the North Sixteenth
Street team in the Falkland Prop
critics Ladies League at Silver
Spring, were a bit of a sensation
They were the highest game ano
set in the seven-year history OF
the league. And Mrs. Wahls aver
age is 81. Mrs. Wahls thrill was
tempered when a wag quoted: 'Oi
all sad words of tongue and pen
the saddest are these: 1t might
have BEEN" He referred to The
Star tournament. With a handi-
cap of 81, Mrs. Wahl would have
won by two sticks the first prize
for women in the tournament. $100
All of which presents an opportunity
to announce again that the prize
list of the tournament, containing
808 cash awards, won't be available
for a fortnight, what with 1925

audited,
