There will be yet another re-
vlval of last nights 15-round
thriller at II am. on Monday.
when Walcott's manager, Joe
Webster of Camden, N. j., is
scheduled to beard the New York
State Boxing commission and de-
mand that his man be awarded
the title on the point system"
The result will be the same
too. Louis will retain his crown,
and he will again receive the
heavy end of the gate when he
and Jersey Joe play a return
engagement at Yankee Stadium
next summer. Twentieth Cen
tury Sporting club officials were
not sufficiently recovered today
to discuss the next meeting of
the two big Negroes, but it is
inevitable.
According to informed opin-
ION, there isn't a chance in the
world that Webster's appeal to
the commission will alter last
nights 2-to-1 verdict in favor
of Louis. They don't make re-
funds on fight results. AS one
we'll known fistic figure explain
ed it, Chairman Eddie Eagan of
the boxing commission "is just
bein' courteous to an outsider"
The point system" on which
Webster will base his claim
comes into use in this state only
when an official finds that his
card shows two men have fought
a draw on the basis of rounds
won. In that event, he adds up
his points to give the victory to
one or the other. The idea was
thought up by Eagan to avoid
draws. The necessity for COM
putting the points didn't arise last
night, as both judges tagged
Louis the winner of rounds and
referee Ruby Goldstein gave it
to Walcott on the same basis.
Neither gladiator showed up
at the promoters office today to
claim his check. Louis remain
ed up in Harlem, having cold
congresses applied to his near
ENCLOSED left eye. Walcott,
whose strange, shifty style al
most scored one of the great up
sets of boxing history, hurried
to his Camden home early to-
day after learning that one of
his six children was i'll.
Examination showed that
Louis right hand, which he hurt
when he banged Walcott's close
clipped skull in the fifth round,
was not broken, but it still was
swollen and painful. The injury
is high up on the hand, nearly
to the wrist.
The promoters had not yet
figured what each fighter would
draw but it was believed Louis
would receive a check for about
$4,000, Walcott $4,000.
1t was generally agreed today

Tulane Holds
.LSU To Tie
In Thriller

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 6.-P)-
Cheered by the biggest crow d
ever to watch regular season
football game in the South, Tu-
lanes surprising Greenies
fought favored Louisiana State
University eleven to 6 to 6
! deadlock here today.
The throng Officially es-
timated at $1,000 to top the 65,-
841 mark set in the Tulane-Notre
Dame game of 1945) saw so min
utes of spinetingling play.
Trailing 6 to C at half time,
Tulane came back early in the
third period to tie up the score,
then beat off Louisiana's frantic
offensive efforts.
The hoary sleeper play" set
up the Tulane touchdown. On the
first play after the second period
kickoff, Ed Heider hid out on
the sidelines.
Bennie Ellender hit him with
pass and Heider ran to the
Is for a 54-yard gain. An inter
ception stopped Tulane, but the
Greenies made LSU punt, then
stormed 81 yards.
Ellender completed four pass
es during the parade, then Rich
ard Hoot barged the final six
yards on a fake pass. Heider's
placement went wide, and cost
Tulane victory-just as Walter
Piggy" Barnes missed place
kick kept L.S.U. from triumph
ing.
Y. A. Titles eighth touch
down pass against Tulane in
four years came on the last play
of the first half after his aerials
had carried the Tigers 80 yards
to the one.
The snapback came just as
the clock licked off the final sec
ond--and most of the spectators
didn't believe LSU had time to
run another play.
But Title - the quarterback
in the Information - snatched
the ball from the center just in
time, and fired to Ray Bullock
in the end zone.
During the successful drive,
Title first hit Ray Coates on a
pass good for Al yards, chunked
once to Joe Leach for Is, and
then found Bullock with 49,
yard effort to the one.

Liippy Leo
Pilots Buns
For l948

BROOKLYN, Dec. 6.-R-
Leo Durocher returned to base
ball today as manager of the
Brooklyn Dodgers "without
prejudice" from Commissioner
A. B. Chandler, who had sus-
pended him for the entire 1947
season.
Gracefully yielding to the in
evitable, Burt Shotton, who won
a pennant as the interim skip
per last season, retired from ac-
tive management to accept a
vague but lucrative position
that he termed "a nice, old
mans job" The 63-year-old
fatherly gentleman from Bar
tow, Fla, will oversee the work
of the managers in the Dodgers
26-club farm system.
Branch Hickey, Jr., acting in
the absence of his father who
is president of the Brooklyn
club, made the brief one
sentence announcement that
read:
"The 1947 contract of Leo
Durocher has been renewed for
1948 by the Brooklyn baseball
club"
No salary terms were an
nounced but it was believed
the figures will match the $780,
900 repeatedly called for last
season. Actually, the contract
has not been signed and may
not be until spring training but
that is a mere formality. 1t will
be for one year.
While his son was breaking
i the not-too-well-kept news at a
press conference in tn e
Dodgers plush offices, Hickey,
Sr., was enroute from a Phila-
delphia hospital where he had
visited his daughter. Durocher,
who has said ri want to stay in
I Brooklyn until the day l die"
was driving to the airport to
catch plane for Los Angeles.
Shortly after the Brooklyn an
nouncement, Chandler followed
with statement designed to
clarity Durocher's status. This
was the key to the long-delayed
decision by Hickey.
Chandler told Cleveland
press conference "as far as the
commissioners office is con-
cerned. Leo Durocher returns to
baseball without prejudice and
will be judged by his conduct
in the future"

Elsewhere in London, British-Arab

The British were said to favor parti-

cnce because Britain would not agree

PALESTINE: Showdown in the Holy Land

THE attempt Of the Jewish un-
i dcrground to keep the Holy
Land dispute in the center OF the
world stage by terrorist methods
is bearing bitter fruit. Events
mounted swiftly toward the show
down stage in Palestine aS Britain
patiently showed she would stand for
only so much twisting of the lions tail
and began preparing for stern, rcprcS-
SlVe measures.
The long history of the Palestine
dispute goes back to the Ball0ur Dec
laration in 1917 which stated that Brit
ain 'viCWed with favor the establish
mCnt of National Home for Jews in
Palestine without, however, ieOpardlI
ing rights Of any existing on-JeWlSh
communities. That was embodied in
the League Of Nations Mandate over
Palestine granted Britain in 1923.
Arab-Jewish friction began develop
ing soon after Jews began flOcklng to
Palestine In the years since the first
world war about $4,000 Jews have
settled in Palestine They hope to
make it an independent Jewish state
which, they claim. was pledged by tho
Balfour Declaration.
EurOpe'S Jews ON March
Civil war broke out in 1899 when
the first anti-Semitic pOgrQmS iii Eu-
rope sent refugees flocking to PalcS-
tine. Britain, at the Arabs request,
limited Jewish Immigration. The end
Of World War ii with hundreds of
thousands of jews in EuropcH dis
placed persons camps made the uuCS-
ton of Palestine immigration more
acute but Britain set the quota of jew
iSh refugees at 900 month.
The United States has sought To
case British barriers. Shortly after
VI Day, President Truman appealed
for immediate transfer of 100000 Jews
from EuropeS DIP camps To Palestine
d recommendation that was repeated
last April by an Anglo-Amcrican com
mittcc of inquiry.
Britain upheld Arab protests, how
ever, and declared that if the u. S
wanted to raise immigration quotas
it must share in the responsibilities
and send troops to keep law and order
Meanwhile Jewish refugees sought
}. TO reach the Holy Land by any mean,
whatever. Last August after rising
Arab protests, Britain banned clan
destine immigration and WarShlpS eS-
corted refugee ships to the island {"
Cyprus where Jews were placed II
detention camps.
