Boon n'sCareer in u. )
Is Ringing on Battle
With Jack Tonight

The prize boxing match Of the
early, indoor season goes on tonight
at Uline Arena, and it well may be
the last big show here this winter
Midget auto racing moves into
Uline's on Thursdays after this, and
Promoter Goldie Ahearn probably
won't get any more dates this win
ter for the Uline plant that seats
about 1000 for boxing. Turner
Arena, with a seating capacity OF
about 1000, will continue to operate
its Monday night shows.
For his finale, Promoter Ahearn
has come up with an attractive
main event, a 10-rounder between
Beau Jack, the Georgia boy who
made good in boxing's bigtime, and
Eric Boon, former English light
weight and middleweight titleholder.
Jack, one-time holder of the world
title, is shooting for the
welter title now held by Ray Rob-
inson. Tonight's fight, he hopes,
will be step in that direction. He
has signed for November % match
in Philadelphia against Chuck Tay-
lor. another prominent contender.
\. Boon, too, wants to be included
among the welterweight division
hopefuls and is hooking to his fight
tonight, his first in the United
States, to give him a boost upward
He is anxious to make very good
showing in his first American fight
because if he can give the Beau
good lacing tonight it means some
attractive future bookings for him.
The Beat, of course, has his own
reputation and future to think Of,
so altogether it makes for good
fight.
Beau is a busy slugger, hard to
hit and still harder to hurt. Match
ing him is an English fighter who
admittedly likes the American sys-
tenn of slugging all the time. More
than half of Boon's more than 200
ring battles have been won by
knockouts.
Backing up the main bout is a
six-round heavyweight engagement
between Elkins Brothers, local big
boy, and William Champion, former
Golden Gloves champ from Cleve-
land. Middleweights King David
and Bob Baldwin tangle in another
six, while among several good four

Return of Lewis

May Help Club
By Burton Hawkins

Barring unforeseen complica-
tions, Buddy Lewis will return
to the Mats outfield next sea-
son. Lewis, contacted at his
Gastonia, N. c., residence, said
he plans to confer with Clark
Griffith, president of the WASH
ington Baseball Club, here in
two weeks and contemplates no
difficulty reaching terms.
"Griff has always been fair to
me-" said Lewis, "and he's
grand old fellow. We won't have
any trouble getting together. I'll
be up for the North Carolina
Maryland game on November 13
and will talk to him then"
Lewis, who remained out Of
baseball last season due to an
ailing back and the necessity of
operating his automobile busi-
ness and bowling alleys at Cas-
tonia, indicated the only possible
barrier to rejoining the Mats was
arranging his business affairs.
Buddy stays in good shape"
said Griffith, but I want him to
go to Hot Springs, Ark, to get his
legs in trim. Walking over those
mountains and taking the baths
should help him and I'm gonna
try to talk him into it.
Lewis will be our right fielder,
with Gil Coan in left. Ed
Stewart and Clyde Vollmer prob
ably will alternate in center field.

off, with Sam Dente hitting Sec

The former Air Force captain
who flew 361 missions over the
Hump now is 80 years old. He
will bring a lifetime batting aver
age Of 800 to the Mats lineup, al
though he slumped to .261 in 1947,
when he was handicapped by a
back injury as the result of

for softball, football and other
sporting events Is planned beside
the Anacostia River behind the Ma
tional Guard Armory by a group OF
local sportsmen if permission for
building it can be had from National
CAPITAL parks. The local group,
headed by Bill Kavakos, an old hand

an okay can be had if he can show
that the public really wants such a
stadium.
washington doesn't have a small
stadium for such events, since the
old Washington Softball Stadium
was removed to make way for q
warehouse, and the loss has been
felt. Events that used to be held
there either have been shifted to
out-of-town fields or died away
mostly the latter.
Kavakos was one of the hackers OF
that plant and he and his associates
have been looking around for q
place to erect another. Zoning reg
ulations keep them out of most
available locations, but they now
think that the public lands back OF
the Armory would be ideal. Several
softball leagues and baseball and
football leagues would like to op-
crate in such a stadium. 1t also
would be an ideal place for amateur
boxing and other Boys Club activ-
tiles. Good high school football
games and other events likewise
could be held there. In fact, the
sponsoring group thinks that once

DETROIT, Oct. 28.-The Detroit
Tigers were back in baseball's dog
house" today, stripped of 10 minor
league players in ruling by Com
missioner A. B. CHappy) Chandler
that parallels the late Kenesaw M.
Lands sweeping 1910 decision which
freed 81 players owned by Detroit.
Unlike Lands unprecedented de-
cision of eight years ago, however,
the Chandler ultimatum cuts no
major leaguers free nor does it assess
any fine against the parent Detroit
club.
But the issue is much the same.
The Tigers are charged with "cover-
ing up" the movement Of players in
their minor league system by making
invalid oral agreements covering
disposal of certain players signed in
1916 and 1947 to contracts with farm
clubs.
Specifically, Chandler's decree
makes the 10 players free agents
and Furnishes Detroit for the manner
in which the players were handled
contrary to baseball law and pro-
cedure."
The ruling relates to a Detroit
coral agreement" with Dallas of the
Texas League when the Tigers and
Dallas broke off their inter-cluh
working agreement in 1947.
In the 1910 case the Tigers were
found guilty of abusing working
agreement privileges" by transferring
players from one club to another
''in secret agreements or without
filing proper agreements"
-Four players then with the Tg-
ers-Infielder Benny Mccoy, Out
fielder Roy Cullenbine and Pitchers
Lloyd Dietz and Steve Rachunok-
were declared free agents along with
81 players with Detroits minor
league afflliates. And the Detroit
club was ordered to pay a total of

Dark Of Braves

Rookieof Year
Landslide Vote Gives
Shortstop Title Over
Ashburn of >PhiIIies
BY the Assecioted Press

NEW YORK, Oct. 28-Alvin
Dark, brilliant young shortstop of
the Boston Braves, was voted today
the National League rookie of the
year.
1t was virtual landslide for the
25-year-old native of Lake Charles

Quoted by the Associated Press
Dark romped in as the No. l fresh
man of 1948 with 100 out of a pos
sible 220 votes.
Only four other players received
consideration from the baseball ex-
perts. Richie Ashburn, f1ashy Phil
adelphia outfielder, was a poor Sec
ond with 81 votes. Pitcher Robin
Roberts and Flychaser Johnny Blat-
mix, teammates of Ashburn, each
got one vote as did Outfielder Hank
Sauer of the Cincinnati Reds.
Dark gained the distinction by his
fine batting, his skill in the field, his
speed afoot and his colorful all
around play. In 1877 games, the
former all-around athlete at Louisi-
ana State University batted 1922 to
finish third among the regulars.
Second "Most Valuable" Honor.
1t was the second time in his
brief career that Dark has been
acclaimed as the No. / freshman
of his league. Signed by the Braves
IN the summer of 1916 for a re-
ported $4,000 bonus figure, Dark
was sent to the Milwaukee club
OF the American Association the fol-
lowing year. Al played in Is games
for the Braves in '46, but that did
not disqualify him for rookie honors
in 48.

his first full season in professional
baseball, batted 1903 for the Brewers

If he could hold it.
The responsibility proved too
much for the kid at first. His hit
ting fell off and his fielding suf-
fered as result. Two weeks after
the opening of the regular campaign
the ex-Marine found himself on
the bench, with Sibby Sisti taking
over the regular shortstop duties.
An injury to Sisti gave Dark an
other chance. Although Sisti soon
recovered, Dark never again gave
him. another opportunity to return
to the shortstop post.
Credits Stanky's Help.
1t was no accident that Dark's
return to the regular lineup coin
cided with the Braves rise into first
place, a position they held all season
except for several days in August.
Dark is unstinting in giving Eddie
Stanky, his keystone partner, credit
for his rapid rise from mediocrity
to potential stardom. He maintains
that not only has the veteran second
baseman improved his baseball me-
chanics, but he has built up his
confidence to such a pitch that
errors or hitless days never bother
him any more.

a destructive margin in the way
of winning material.
But there still are a few of the
upper classes, the unscarred, social
ly elite, who might step into a bit
of trouble.
Here are the games to which we
refer: California VS.. Southern Cali
fornia at Los Angeles. North Caro-
lima and Tennessee at Knoxville.
Georgia Tech and Duke at Durham.
1t so happens that California,
North Carolina and Georgia Tech
are enlisted among the impregnable
forces, headed for some bowl-Rose,
Sugar, Cotton or Orange. They look
safe enough, but something could
happen.
For example, jeff Cravath at
Southern California is the one who
wrecked California year ago when
the Bears were rolling along in high
gear. jeff and Southern Cal
dumped California, 80 to IA, last
fall.
Cravath Death on Bears.
Cravath usually has been poison
for the Golden Bears. He hasn't
q great team this fall, but he was
good enough to beat Utah, Oregon
State, Rice and Stanford, and hold
favored Oregon to one-point de-
cision.
There has been considerable gos-
sip that some big-name coach is
coming to the Trojans as Cravath
moves out. This rumor isn't going
to make it any easier for California.
Lynn Waldorf's California outfit
is the best squad on the West Coast.
It might be capable Of acting like
real football team in the Rose
Bowl. But, in this somewhat bizarre
season, even the better team can
lose in the whirl of the tide and
the surf.
Cravath has q Trojan outfit that
can make 1t tough for California,
a much better team, on one given
day.
With Army and Pennsylvania safe
in the East, with Midwestern Mich
igan and Notre Dame beyond dan
ger, storm signals might be set up
in the South.
Up Against Crafty Veterans.
Carl Snavely's North Carolina Tar
Heels and Bobby Dodd's Georgia
Tech Yellowjackets are called on to
meet two crafty old-timers playing
at home-Gen. Bob Neyland OF
Tennessee and Wallace Wade of
Duke. Tennessee dropped its first
game to Mississippi State and has
lost none since. Duke hasn't lost
a game, tieing North Carolina State
and Tennessee, whipping Navy and
barely slipping by Maryland and
v. P. I. r..
|. There may be better coaches in
the country than Bob Neyland, but
I can't think of their names at the
moment. The general has a good
Tennessee team all set for North
Carolina, a much better team.
In Charley Justice, Art Weiner,
Hosea Rodgers and many others
the Tarheels have the jump in ma
terial and manpower. North Caro-
lima runs three deep. But Neyland
has a pretty fair team, and there
is an outside chance he might slip
one over. He shouldn't on form, but
there are times when the general
discards form.
The same is true in the case of
Georgia Tech against Duke. Tech
has the best material in the South,
the most experienced material.
But Wade is another crafty old
timer who so far has worked most
OF the time on defense. Just look
over his 1948 contests: Duke O.
N. c. State 0, Duke 7-Tennessee 7,
Duke 28-Navy 7, Duke 13-Maryland
II, Duke 7-V. P. I. 0.
