Stevenson Wins poinl
In Battle for Hursey

Mel Stevenson has won decision
over Henry Armstrong in their battle
to determine which will manage
Middleweight Smuggy Hursey, but
there are indications that the fight
isn't over.
After hearing evidence from both
parties, the District Boxing Com
mission yesterday ruled that Hursey
will be managed by Armstrong until
he fulf1lls contracts for his service
under Henry's direction. After that
Stevenson, who developed the fighter
as an amateur, will take over. Arm
strong has two or three bouts lined
up for Hursey.
Armstrong indicated he may ask
the Boxing Managers Guild to boy
colt the District if the commissions
edict is carried out, but Chairman
Heinie Miller pointed out such
action would result in suspension by
the National Boxing Association of
guild members.

Softballs and other equipment
ordered for Garfield playground
that summer had not arrived, so
when the young director saw a
couple of youngsters with patched
up golf clubs banging a ball
around it gave him an idea. 1t
gave him two ideas. The first
was to stop them before child
was clouted on the noggin; the
second was the forerunner of
miniature golf.
1--WE played with shiny sticks
and wooden balls, but we had a
nine-hole course and you'd be
surprised at the skill it required,
said Dick Tennyson, recalling the
game he invented. "I forget who
gave me the idea-a couple of
boys who caddied for Long Jim
Barnes in the National Open at
Columbia, but I remember Fran
els Breen, Legs" Ball, Charley
Brown and a host of others
played our course, and were good,
too. We called it tin can golf
because we used tomato cans for
holes"
That was so long ago Tennyson
finds it hard to believe the years
have flown so quickly. Pete Haley,
Sleepy Roudabush, Eddie Colli-
flower, 'Yo" Murray and the late
Preacher" Adkins were among
the athletes who made Garfield
their headquarters. 1t had one
hard surface tennis court where
'Lovey" Adkins and Gilbert Hunt
picked up their first knowledge of
the game. The horizontal and
parallel bars, flying rings, etc,
were model equipment from the
jamestown World Exposition of
1907-this was almost two decades
Iatey, but nobody paid much at
tention to Fairgrounds in those
days.

ruined his bid for q no-hit, no-run

"Got to take care Of the tribes

but deep In his heart he wished he
could take back the two pitches. He
was that close to the Hall Of Fame
for he had a no-hitter until York
doubled with one out in the sew

Essentially a fast ball pitcher, the
husky right-hander of Creek Indian

three or four change-of pace pitches
all afternoon. They all were tossed
to Ted Williams, who drew three
Of the five bases on balls.
It was Reynolds first stadium
start in a Yankee uniform and he
had been particularly anxious to
make good showing. In his first
outing on the road, Allie had shut
out Washington, but all the New

was what they read In the papers
or heard on the radio.
Sure was tickled to hear I had
been traded to the Yankees" he
said; IT guess every kid dreams
about becoming Yankee some day.
I had pitched here before, but this
was different"
Needless to say, the Yanks were
"tickled" to have Reynolds on their
side. Joe Di Maggio's comment that
he had one of the best sidearm
deliveries in the league was a fac
tor in their decision to pick Allie
over the rest of the Cleveland staff,
except Bobby Feller, when they
traded Joe Gordon last World Series

Worth'S defense was that Eng
land was ''at war with Jewry" and
that he ''felt it was time we hit
back" The light sentence has pro-
voked much resentment in Jew
ish circles here, particularly in
view of the fact that the accused
failed to claim extenuating cir

he thought Britain was waging

Rosenblatt, of New York, vice
Chairman of the Palestine Foun-

in his name.
The case, designed to show up
the illegality of the White Paper
land restrictions was brought to
a Palestine court when the Land
Registrars office two weeks ago
refused to validate Mr.. Rosen-
blatt's purchase because he is a
Jew and the land is in Zone A
where, under the White Paper,
Jews are absolutely forbidden to
acquire land. Zone A comprises
about 6096 of Palestine. If the
Palestine court decides against
him, Mr.. Rosenblatt plans to

MANCHESTER GUARDIAN

LONDON, Feb. 25 (Palcor)-
The Manchester Guardian today
expressed suspicion that Foreign
Secretary Bevin is determined to
maintain Britain'S position in Pal
estine and is bringing the prob
lem before the United Nations
merely to ask confirmation on
that position. The Guardian warns
that since his proposal is unlikely
to be acceptable to the U. N, Bri-
tain had better disclaim it from
the beginning. If the General As
sembly refuses to make Palestine
either a Jewish or an Arab State,
the Guardian says, it will have to
choose between partition and
some form of mandatory regime
in which case Britain should make
clear that she does not wish to
continue as sole mandatory pow
er. Mr.. Bevin was emphatic that
the Government won't recon-
mend any particular solution
probably because the only solu-
ton for a permanent settlement
is partition which Bevin has con-
sistently refused to consider" the
Guardian says.
Calling on the Government to
state clearly what its policy in
Palestine will be during the inter
i'm before the U. N. reaches a de-
cision, the Guardian suggests an
increase in the Jewish immigra-
ton quota with the absorption of
all refugees now in Cyprus camps
and some DPS from European
camps. Every plan put forward
since the end of the war, including
Bevin's own proposals, allowed
for the entry of 100000 Jews
within two years. 1t is hardly
imaginable that the U. N. would
accept less than this and it would
not be rash, but certainly gener-
Gus to act now on this assump-
ton, the paper says. even if we
could afford to keep 100000 troops
in Palestine permanently, which
we can't, country so divided and
disloyal would be a source of
weakness rather than strength" F"
the Guardian concludes.
