The Minneapolis citywide boxing
tournament will get underway Mon
day night with evident promise of
some fast stepping, hard hitting
young men vying for city champion
ship honors.
These tournaments, in previous
years, have proven valuable assets
in molding stronger characters of
our future citizens. They also have
been a boon to the professional
boxing ranks.
Many a young hopeful, who has
risen to fightdom's highest awards
was once such a youngster as you
will see in Golden Glove rings
throughout the country giving
everything he's got to win, even
if it's only a fighting heart with
no boxing skill to back him up.
An example Of continued success
in the ring is Eddie Lacy, former
Northwest Golden Glove Hyweight
champion, now attending Minnesota
University. The boxing coach of
the Gopher boxing team is conf
dent Of Lacy's ring prOwess and
continued success. Although Eddie
is unable to compete in intercOlle-
giate competition he will make all
team trips as an alternate fighting
exhibition bouts.
Eddie is a modest chap who d.
vides his time between training and
studying. He intends to major in
industrial arts. A future champion
in every right.
Among the teams who will seek
the city crowns will be Phyllis
Wheatley's team coached by Harry
Davis, former amateur fighter.
Phyllis Wheatley has an impress
sive record and this year will be
no exception. Coach Davis is very
enthusiastic about the lineup he will
present Monday.

days of the pennant race when he
was the spark Of a Montreal club
that scored over 1000 runs; as in
the junior World Series when he
beat a powerful Louisville club all
but single-handed.
Why, then, are there any doubts
that he will make the grade? The
answer, Of course, lies in history.
There have been some great minor
league ball-players who couldn't
make it under the big tent.
That's the only reason why no
body is sure that Robbie will be the
ball player for Brooklyn that he
was for Montreal. There isn't a
man alive who can be SURE. But
there are a few indeed who doubt
that he will.
Why then, again, isn't he on the
Brooklyn roster, why isn't he GO
ing south with the Dodgers like
other promising rockies? The an
swer is as plain as the fingers in
front Of your face. Having been
a member Of the Brooklyn organi-
zation only one year, he was not
eligible for the major league draft.
Other less likely prospects but still
valuable chattels for the future
we're. Keeping him at Montreal
over the winter enabled the
Dodgers to bring one draft eligible
up to the safety Of the varsity
roster.
Fresco Thompson, one Of Ric-
keys most highly valued trouble
shooters, explains II easily. "Look,"
he says, ats just as simple as this.
The 1916 season is over. The 1947
season hasn't begun. The Cardi-
mails are scattered to the four
winds. Ebbets Field is all locked
up. Robbie can't help us now. He
can't score q run or make a hit. He
can't steal a base or start a double
play. In short, he can't help the
Dodgers at all until April 10 when
the heavy firing starts. But he
could hurt them by taking up a
place on the roster that might be
protecting a draft eligible.
One point to remember is this,
though, the only flaw in the Robin
son future. He isn't any raw kid.
He'll be % when he reports this
spring. He has football legs with
muscles that are subject to charlie
horse. He missed 80 games last
year on account Of them.
At a guess, though, nothing will
stop him. The fellow was born to
be a big-leaguer. Move ever, Ed
die Stanky.

noggin these wlntry days that Is
basically unjust. This is the one
that Jackie Robinson isn't being
given a fair chance to win a job
on the Dodgers this on-rushing sea-
son. Nothing could be further
from the truth. Pull up a chair
and throw another log on the fire
and wen tell you the whole story.
In the first place, it can be re-
vealed that at least one leading
member Of the Brooklyn brain
trust thinks he is going to beat
out the serappy Eddie Stanky for
the second base job. What's more,
there isn't one Of them who Is sure
that he won't.
IL base my belief" said Rob
bie's biggest booster in the Brook
lyn inner councils" on the fact
that he can run faster than Stanky,
that he can cover more ground,
that he packs more power and hits
more consistently at the plate. His
arm Is Just about as good and he's
an artist at making the double
play"
Stanky's boosters, Of course, will
point out that the little guy was
one Of the most valuable assets on
Dodger team that tied the heavily
favored Cardinals for the flag last
year. They say that he is the ideal
lead-oif man, that he personihes
hustle and the will to win and that
he was a superb performer around
second base for all his lack of
speed.
All Of which is true, indeed, but
it's just as true that Robbie may
be all Of this and little more. A
fellow who could lead the Interna-
tional League in batting with a
.349 average, who could bat in SO
runs from the second slot in the
batting order, who could steal 20
bases and make only 10 errors all
year must have considerably more
than something.
The colored boy with the jack
rabbit feet obviously does. What's
more, he proved last season that
heavy pressure doesn't bother him.
He was at his best before the big
crowds-as on Opening Day in
Newark when he hit a home run
with the bases full; as on the key

Brewster Sees Fall
In U. 5. Air Power

American air power, @the key to
world peace" has fallen to third
place among the nations, according
to Senator Brewster, Republican, of
Maine.
Addressing the Washington Ad-
lvertising Club at a luncheon yester-
day at the Hotel Statler, Senator
Brewster said this Nations air
strength has fallen far behind that
LOT Russia and Great Britain in
many respects
1--WE are doing precisely what we
did after the last war in permitting
this power to slip from our grasp, I"
he declared.
Russia, he said, now has twice
the air strength it had in 1945.
And while the Soviet objected to
our move to place four weather sta
tions in the Arctic" he added, they
now have $50 there"
Senator Brewster, who is chair
man of the Aviation Subcommit-
tee OF the Senate Commerce Com:
mittee, said Russia also is concen-
trating on long-range bombers
which could be used to fight u.s.
Turning to Great Britain, the leg
islator said its air budget this year
is higher than that of the British
Navy.
The British, who are supposed
to be In the last stages of bank
ruptcy, plan this year for an air
force of 100000 officers and enlisted
men. That is larger than the force
provided by our budget" he de-
clared.

wOefully so far as purchasing pow

Despite that, the world is seeking

largely determined by its ability to
do business in American currency.
1t is probably true that no one

Hole Talks Back
At Phoenix Open
AP NeWSieatureS

PHOENIN. AriZ. Contestants in
the recent $4,000 Phoenix Open
golf tournament. won for the second
year in succession by Ben Hogan
OF Hershey. Pa. found one hole
that really talked back at them.
1t was the 18th. AS each player
retrieved his ball humorous COM
ments came clearly from the cup.
1t was an innovation in tourna-
ment golf, and both players and
spectators thoroughly enjoyed it.
\ small lOudspeaker had been
carefully placed in the cup prior
to the opening of the tournament.
Handling the mike connected with
this loudspeaker were Barry Gold
water and Vic Armstrong OF
Phoenix.
Another innovation was the use
of "walkie-talkies" by means OF
which holeby-hOle scores of the
leading players were relayed from
the course to the blackboard out
side the clubhouse. Fans kept
abreast of the hottest players
without following them physically
about the course.
