Durocher Says
Giants May Come
Up With Negro
HurIer

OAKLAND, Calf, March Is
New Yol& Giants manager Leo
Durocher said Saturday he may
have az negro pitcher this sea-
son.
The hurler is Highlander Ford
Smith, Jersey City player whose
winter home is in Phoenix, Ariz.
Dodds took time out from his
Friday. The Giants play Oakland
of the Pacific Coast League Sat
urday and Sunday. Fridays ex-
hibition game was cancelled be-
cause of wet grounds.
The Giant manager had been
following the fortunes of the
Giant "B" squad four-game tour.
Among other things, Durocher
said he was satisfied with the
rookie bonus pitcher, Lou Sleater,
catcher Sam Galderone, and in
fielder Bob Hoffman. He said he
was impatient" with outfielder
Jack Maguire's lack of fire and
asserted Ken Washington, former

Jackson College
To Open Track
Season

Jackson College will open the lid
off OF its 1850 track schedule when
it opposes Southern and Xavier
Universities in triangular meet at
Southern on April /. The thin-clads
of Coach Norris are expected to
run into plenty of trouble when
they meet the speedsters of these
Louisiana institutions. The con-
struction of the track completely
robbed the team of running area
in which to practice. Saturday
Jackson College will be running on
cinders for the first time. The
team will be further handicapped
by the absences Of Capt. Roy Hill
who will be away on choir tour.
In all six men will be lost either by
the choir tour, scholastic probation,
or by fraternity limitations. How
ever Coach Norris will select about
Is hopefuls from a squad of 80 to
carry the colors of the blue and
white.
The best chances for the Lynch
Street Tigers seem to depend on
the regaining of old form by the
discuss and shot put teams lead by
Meredith, Skinner, Peoples, Smith
and Ramsey. Big Tank" Lewis and
flying Robert Clark will lead the
middle-distance squad, while Vester
Baxtrum and Estes Garfield may
show in the distances. Sylvester
Jones and William Arnold may sur
prise in the spirits. The relay
teams are not expected to fare so
ell due to absences and the lack
of depth.
Despite the early season pros
poets it can be expected that Coach
Norris will bring his team around
before the season is too far gone.
1t will be interesting to note how
the conference champions of last
year will fare against outside OPP
ponentS; this years schedule beng
the toughest in the history of the
school. On April % Jackson College
will meet Grambling and Tilliston
in a triangular meet to be held
here.
The complete schedule is as fol-
lows:
April Southern, Xavier at

LOUIS TURNS DOWN CHANCE TO
REGAIN CROWN FOR CIRCUS TOUR

WACO, Tex, March % - Joe
Louis said he would not return to
the ring but instead has signed a
contract to tour Canada for a cir
Gus.
Winding up an exhibition tour in
America, the former worlds heavy
weight champion who retired
March /, 194S, after beating Joe
Walcott, announced he would go
with the Daley Brothers Circus at
a minimum of $1,000 per day.
He will be with the circus 95
days starting May "a.
Before going with the circus,
however, he will go to South Am
erica for an exhibition tour of ten
bouts.
Louis, in a statement to report
ers, thanked the public and press
for their support in his ring career.
Louis said he did not necessarily
want to fight Ezzar Charles, the
current champion, and that "they
couldn't pay me what | would want
to do it anyway. / would want 35
per cent and since there is only 60
per cent for the fighters in a bout,
the champion would have to take
less than the challenger"
Louis said the main obstacle in
the way of a title fight would be
"all this training routine to get
into shape"
Louis came here from Austin,
Tex, where he had conferred with
Daley Brothers Circus.
The 35-year-old Brown Bomber
said he would fight no more exhi-
bition bouts after this year-that
he was quitting for good. He said
he would referee boxing and wrest-
lig matches.
The tour with the circus will run
from May "a until Aug. 10. Louis
will appear in a matinee act, work.
ing six days week. He said he
would show the tactics of boxing
etc.
Louis explained he was being
guaranteed $1,000 a day and would
get all over that amount which his
appearance in the circus might
draw.
