IN the number of people who have
time and interest enough and cash

The l947 season broke all past rec

Only the Cincinnati Reds and the
Philadelphia Phillies failed to reach

the National league Maybe Red

That many should have gone out to

But about 1913? Attendance in
the Citrus circuit has been well above

cracked all past records.
Lang field should slide by the
$1,000 mark. Tampa has known a
big spring. These are the top spots.

Surplus Weight

1t will be only a short while before
Joe Louis is back home again, all
set to start his training for the June
show with Jersey Joe Walcott.
Despite what you hear, Louis
must take off at least 80 pounds to be
In first-class condition again and, at
the age of "a, you don't shed 30
pounds in any rush. The flesh hangs
on with rare persistence and doesn't
care to be shaken loose.
Back in December, Louis had lost
all semblance of speed. He had lost
all speed of foot and speed of hands.
AT one time he had as fast a pair
OF hands as anyone would care to see.
he was a rattlesnake in bronze.
Against Walcott, he could set moth
ing in motion but his dreams of yes
terday.
Louis left for England much fatter
than he was against Walcott. In a
recently-posed picture, he even made
Tommy Farr look slender.
He Is going to crowd it all in a
few weeks-the preparation needed
to get keen and sharp again, some-
thing approaching the Louis that
used to be. He could never even
come close to that. Time and the
passing years have taken care Of
this problem-that, plus surplus
weight.
The factor that worked so roughly
against Louis is that for five years
after the war came along, he had
only two unimportant fights against
Conn and Mauriello. The first was
no contest and the second was a one
round flare-up.

tured arm. Released from De Paul
Hospital after treatment.
Earl r. Duke, Al, of Norfolk, pos
sible leg fracture.
An inquiry to fix cause in the
collision opened this morning at
Naval Landing Pier, Norfolk, with
passengers and crewmen appearing
as witnesses.
Capt. Edward H. Eaton, 46, of
3602 Nichols avenue Sc, who has
been master of the night boat al
most all of its % years, told story
of how he tried desperately to
avoid the crash when the tanker
Georgia loomed up in the fog.
The District of Columbia, which
makes a nightly run to and from
Washington and Norfolk, had left
the harbor at Old Point Comfort
and steamed about half mile, blow
ing its fog horn.
Swept by Flood Tide.
Capt. Eaton told investigators he
was pulling the boat away when
flood tide swept her against the
tanker. Theres was a crunching
jarring crash, knocking some pas
sengers off their feet. D..
The tanker's bow ripped off rs
feet of the steamers starboard side,
laying open about 10 staterooms.
The steamers iron-guard fender
tore 3-foot cash in the Georgia's S
bow just above the water line.
Miss McWhorter was trapped in
one of the staterooms. A witness
said her body extended half way
through the ships side and was SC
firmly held by twisted plates that
is could not be cut free until the
ship reached Norfolk.
Many Of the passengers had left
their stateroomS for breakfast or
were on the deck, fact that pos
sibly saved lives. The passengers
were removed by a Navy tug and
taken to Norfolk.
One of those at breakfast was 1t
J. H. Yates, USNR, of Washington
He said he felt the steamer give
a wrenching motion.
Il reached the open deck and
saw the effect of the collision" he
said. Every one seemed calm as
they put on life preservers. Within
a short time it was apparent the
steamer would not sink. Then we
merely waited for help. Several re-
turned to their breakfast"
Capt. Eaton put the steamer on a
nearby sandbar to prevent her sink
ing. Three hours later a Navy tug
refloated her and she proceeded un-
der her own power to Norfolk

II could hear the whistle for

bell every t1ve seconds"
He continued to ring the bell fu-
riously until the collision forced him
to dart away to escape flying debris,
he said.
J. Allen Riordon, vice president OF
the Norfo ~ Washington Steam

trict of Columbia, said a survey

we're reserved for his attacks or
the Republican Eightieth Congress
as a do doing" body and good fol
nothing"
Dewey Defended Congress.
Gov. Dewey was more general ir
his speeches and said, for instance
that "A Republican victory woulc
mean "an America in which we car
have both social progress and indi-
vidual freedom--an America with
security and opportunity for ALL
The New York Governor also de-
Tended the Republican Congress as
he scored the shortcomings and
what he described as the ineffici-
ency of the Democratic administra-
ton under President Truman.
The outcome of the elections for
the congressional seats and the
governorships are hotly disputed.
If either party comes out on top
all around. it will have established
a strong beachhead for the political
wars of 1850 and 1852.
The prize plum, aside from the
presidency itself. is control OF the
Eighty-frst Congress. which con-
venes next January 3. This is the
Congress that will start writing the
record on which senatorial and con-
gressional candidates will run again
In 1850. That record inevitably will
be a major issue in the presidential
campaign of 1852.
Republicans Confident.
And the political complexion Of
State houses throughout the land
largely will determine which candi-
dates in future elections are to get
the priced support of entrenched
State political organizations.
The Republicans are buoyantly
confident Of retaining control of the
House and hardly less so OF breaking
in their favor the present PAPA
governorship tie. The Democrats
dispute both these claims, but their
loudest predictions have to do with
the Senate.
The party that controls the Senate
also controls the committees that
steer legislation into the chamber.
That party, too, controls much Of
the prize patronage Of the White
House, for all the major appoint
ments, must be confirmed by the
Senate.
There are 80 Senate seats being
filled this year. But that number
includes one race already won by
the Republicans in Maine on Sep
tember l3. The Democrats need a
net gain of four seats for control.
Seats Are I'm South.
Of the SO seats not at stake, Re-
publicans have 80 and Democrats
80. OF the SO being filled this year,
Is now are Republican and Is DEM
ocratic. But IL Of the Democratic
seats on the block are in the nor
mally Democratic South.
In Mississippi and Georgia and in
one Of two Louisiana contests Demo-
cratic nominees are unopposed, while
in Arkansas the Democrat has only
minor party opposition.
There are no unopposed Repub-
lican nominees for the Senate.

| d. These II are generally regarded
as the key States which will decide
the. issue of control: Kentucky,
Minnesota. Oklahoma, West Vir-
ginia, Wyoming, Montana, New
Mexico, Tennessee, Iowa, Illinois
and Colorado. The seats at stake
are held now by Republicans in
all except Montana, New Mexico,
Tennessee and Colorado.
95 Candidates In Field.
There are 95 candidates for the
80 seats involved in tomorrew's vot-
ing-28 Republicans, 80 Democrats,
III Progressives, Socialists, 4
Socialist-Labor. 6 Prohibition, 2 So
cial Workers, Independents, and
Industrial Government.
Contending for the 432 House
seats MAINE elected three Repub-
licans in September are 37l Re-
publicans, 4l8 Democrats and 173
minor party candidates.
The entire House membership is
elected this year, as it is every two
years. Republicans now are in con-
troll, with 246 seats against 1877 for
the Democrats and two for the
American Labor Party.
The Democrats lost control in 1946
for the first time since Franklin D.
Roosevelt became President.
Fifty Are Unopposed.
Fifty Democratic and five Repub-
lican House candidates have no OPP
position at all, while seven Demo-
Gratis and nine Republicans have
both major party nominations and
are odds-on favorites to win.
The even political division in gov
ernorships is almost certain to be
broken. Eighteen of the 80 gover-
norships to be filed now are held
by Republicans, IA by Democrats.
Some of the most Influential
tstatehouses are involved. There are
fhot contests in Indiana, Ohio, IlS
linois, Michigan, Washington, Nom
tana and Tennessee.
While there is no gubernatorial
contest in wyoming, the Republi-
cans might emerge from the elec-
tion with their own Governor there.
That, however, would mean losing
a coveted Senate seat. Gov. Lester
C. Hunt, Democrat, is a candidate
for the Senate against E. v. Rob-
ertson, Republican incumbent.
II Gov. Hunt goes to the Senate,
the Wyoming governorship would
pass to A.. G. Crane, Republican
secretary of State.
If Gov. Dewey is elected Presi-
dent, New York also would get
new Governor. But there no party
change would be involved. 1t. Gov.
Joe r. Hanley is Republican.
