NEW YORK, Aug. A sum
of 100000 was shelled out by IL
major league teams to the minor
leagues in last winters player
drafts and with few exceptions
the big boys have little to show
for the outlay.
OF the 81 players drafted at
prices ranging from $500 to
$4,000, only 10 remain in the big
time.
The Chicago White Sox drafted
three players and have no kicks
coming. The Sox took hefty Max
Surkont from Rochester. Catcher
Don Wheeler from Minneapolis
and Infielder Gene Markland from
Milwaukee.
Surkont has been used almost
entirely as a relief pitcher and
despite his 2-3 won-and-lost rec
ord has earned his keep for the
seventh-place Sox. Wheeler has
participated in AZ games and Is
hitting a credttable .289. Mark
land was sold to Buffalo for at
least $4,000.
Grissom Shows Promise.
The Detroit Tigers lone selec-
ton, Pitcher Marv Grissom, also
has been employed chiefly in re-
lief roles.
Outfelder Johnny Simmons,
drafted by Washington from
Montreal, has seen action only
occasionally and his mark is weak
.189. Simmons, however, is listed
as an outstanding prospect
Branch Hickey of Brooklyn offered
the Mats double the $4,000 they
paid his Montreal club to get
Simmons.
Herman Reich, outflelder-in-
fielder, drafted by Cleveland from
Portland of the Pacific Coast
League, didn't linger long in the
American League. He was OBJ
tanned on waivers by Washington,
reclaimed by Cleveland and then
claimed by the Chicago Cubs,
where he is doing quite well.
Reich has appeared in AZ games
for the Cubs and is hitting at a
1929 clip. However, he has driven
In only 10 runs on his 48 hits.
Catcher Homer Howell, drafted
hv Cincinnati also is proving he
was worth the 10 grand the Reds
forked over to San Francisco.
Howell has been in 35 games and
is batting a satisfying .2S9.
The remaining four have seen
comparatively little action. Bud

WoIcott Disduins Use
Of Imported Referee
BY the Associated Press

STOCKHOLM, Aug. Jersey
Joe and myself believe fights are
fought by f1ghters-not referees, ;"
Joe Walcott's Manager Felix Boo
chicchio said today in a statement
issued in connection with Swedish
plans to import a neutral ref
cree for the bout between Jersey
Joe and Swedish champ Ole
Tandberg on August IA.
Jersey Joe and his manager said
they do not feel an imported ref
cree from another country is
either necessary or called for in
any way. I'VE only suggest that
the Swedish boxing commission sit
down with the referee and both
managers and fighters before the
match so that all may understand
the rules and scoring thoroughly.

for new standards in the licensing

any optometrist or other person

Rain Aides Fire Fighters
In Forests Of Manitoba
~ The Assoeio,sd prsss

WINNIPEG. May "A fairly
general weekend rainfall has
given fire fighters respite after
a strenuous week of battling for
est and grass fires in widely scat
tered sections Of Manitoba.
"All fires now are under con-
troll" James G. Somers. provincial
forester. said last night. But this
is only a breather and the situa-
ton still can be serious"
More than TOO men have been
engaged In the battle. Mr.. Somers
attributed the majority Of fires to
carelessness by trappers and set
tiers.
Before the rains came, four ma
jor fires were o1t of control. Two
were northeast Of Pine Falls in
the timber limits of the Manitoba
Paper Co. q third in the Sandi-
lands forest reserve and the fourth
along the south boundary OF the
