STRESSES CONDITIONING, COACHING
Golden GIovers Given
Advice by Paddy Kane

was in Marek's corner that
eventful night when the Chicago
boxer held the already formula
BILE Brown Bomber from Detroit
at bay and won a clear-cut deci-
sion.
OF primary Importance to the
beginner, Paddy points out, is
that he put himself under the
care of good coach. But there
are other elements in the anna
teur ranks which Paddy says
are as important as the coach
and must be followed if the
boxer hopes to reach the top.
For the beginner as we'll as
the champions one of the foun-
dations for good condition is
proper diet. Paddy recommends
cutting down on fried foods, no
eating between meals. and elimi-
nation of sweets and soft drinks,
with plenty of fruit as a subSti-
tute.
Road work also is high on
Kane'S must list in training for
Golden Gloves. OF this training
fundamental, Kane says:
IAN amateur ought to do at
least two miles of road work
each day. Part of the two mile
route should be occupied with
part with Jogging and
part with sprinting. Heavier
han ordinary shoes ought to be
worn to avoid bruises caused by
stones and other road hazards. u
Stresses Proper Sleep
Paddy rules out smoking for
all Golden .Glovers. Smoking
definitely cuts into a boxers
wind, he says, and will reduce
his staying powers.
Finally, the veteran CYOI
coach recommends at least
eight hours of sleep each night
and that a regular schedule be-
set up for those sleeping hours.
These. in the main, are funda-
mental things which Paddy says
will help make a champion and
will aid in making added gym
nasium duties come more easily.
Entry blanks for the 1857
Gloves tournament will be avail
able Monday at all area boys
clubs and athletic associations
planning to enter contestants in
the tournament.

A N G. E
By LEWIS r. ATcHlsoN

Joe Holman, a big man in
sports around these parts. thinks
the current Redskins compare
with the 1924 Senators. who
brought Washington its first
American League pennant and
only worlds championship.
"They have the same inspired
leadership Buc.y Harris gave the
Senator's" Joe said, and the
same hustle and drive on the
field. 1t really has been a pleas
ure to watch them-and a great
tonic for the town. think Joe
kuharich and his assistants de-
serve a lot of credit for the
boost they've given Washington
sports
Big Joe, a reformed basketball
player of an era when the semi
pro game flourished around here
appreciates a team like the Red
skins perhaps a little more than
the average fan. One of the
towns leading publicity men,
Joe's had his share of turkeys
and knows the joy of banging
the drum for winner. But in
this case the Redskins effort and
color, as much as the fact that
the team is still in the title race
are responsible for its newly won
esteem.
X X X X
That esteem is not accurately
reflected in box-oflce figures
which show the Redskins have
drawn only 1872 fans for five
nome games. The Detroit Lions
Grew almost that many in theil
first two home games. Last SUM-
days small turnout of 22.S3s
may be blamed, OF course. on the

White Sox See
No Change. Now
In Leadership

CHICAGO, Dec. II tR).-No
immediate change in the present
executive setup of the White Sox
appears likely as result of the
sudden death yesterday of the
club president, Mrs. Grace r.
Comiskey. the teams attorney
said.
Mrs. Comiskey's son, Charles
A., 81. and John Rigney, her SON.
in-law, will continue in their
twin capacity as vice presidents.
Roy Egan. attorney for the club
and the Comiskey family, said he
didn't believe a successor to Mrs.
Comiskey as president would be
named for a year.
Egan said no disposition of
Mrs. Comlskey'S 1000 shares of
the 7,450 shares of stock in the
club will be disclosed until the
will has been probated in about
two weeks.
A solemn high requiem mass
will be said for Mrs. Comiskey
Thursday morning at Our Lady
of Mt. Carmel Roman Catholic
Church. Burial will be in CAL
vary Cemetery in suburban Evan
Ston.
Speculation on Presidency
Although young Comiskey had
been tabled as a future leader of
the White Sox by his grand
father, Charles A. Comiskey,
founder of the club, there was
speculation that Mrs. Comiskey's
daughter. Mrs. John Rigney, or
perhaps Egan, may get the pres
idency. Mrs. Rigney is the clubs
secretary.
Egan said that when Mrs.
Comiskey'S husband, j. Louis.
died in 1889. the presidency was
left vacant "as a mark of respect
for more than a year."
"The same procedure probably
will be followed again." Egan
said.
Mrs. Comiskey became presi-
dent Of the White Sox in 194l,
two years after her husbands
death and after winning a court
fight. When she broke the trust
after the death of her husband
she was awarded half the stock.
She was the only active woman
baseball executive in major
league history.
Children Shared Equally
The remaining half was d.
vided equally among her three
children, Dorothy MRS. Rigney) j..
Oracle Lou and Charles A. They
were to receive their shares in
lone-third portions at the ages
OF 81. 80 and IS. In 1851. when
Oracle Lou died. the stock she
had already received reverted to
her mother. The other third
was divided equally between the
two surviving children. Dorothy
has received her complete share.
Charles will be given his final
third in four years.
Mrs. Comiskey. who was SO,
died Of a heart seizure in her
Lake Shore apartment yesterday
morning. She had been in i'll
health since suffering a heart
attack in March. 1850.

he appeared in only seven game:
and collected two hits in mint
times at bat. His best year was
in 1949 when he batted .315 In
SO games. Charlie had a .32T
batting mark in 1852 but hi
played in only 20 games.
Manager Bob Scheffing was
enthusiastic over the two deals
his first since he succeeded Stan
Hack as pilot of the Cubs two
months ago.
I'm Silvera and Katt," he said,
I'VE acquired two catchers who
are better than anybody we had
last season. Silvera would have
been a first-string catcher if he
were on any other club but the
Yankees. Katt has a lot of
power and should find Wrigley
Field to his liking"
StandOff on Pitchers
The youthful skipper thought
the exchange of pitchers with
the Cards was a standoff but
said he expected to get more
pitching out of Poholsky than
he did from Jones.
Il can use PoholSky both as
Ia starter and in relief" he said,
because Tom has good con-
troll. Jones couldn't pitch relief
because he was too wild"
1t was the second major deal
in less than a month for Gen.
eral Manager Frank Lane of the
Cards. Only recently he sent
Rip Repulski to the Phillies for
Del Ennis in an exchange OF
outfielderS.
"A big factor in our making
the DEAL" Lane said. was that
both Jones and Davis have
shown they are effective against
Brooklyn. Jones has a chance to
become a great pitcher if he can
overcome his wildness. Davis, in
our opinion. is one of the best
relief pitchers in the league. At
least he was against U.s."
Aside from trades and trade
talk. the two leagues were in
volved in legislation and re-
election of officers.
Before adjourning their ses-
Sions early this afternoon, the
leagues adopted a 28-man player
limit for the opening day OF
the season in order to pour more
talent into the minor leagues al
the beginning of the season. The
major limit will drop to rs, as
usual, one month after the sea-
son starts.
In addition, the college player
rule was rescinded. This rule
banned the signing Of college STU
dents once they had begun their
sophomore year.
The majors voted yesterday 10
adopt a minor league plan to
consolidate their annual meet
ings and have them alternately
in a minor and major league
city
Disaster Pool Approved
They also voted to set I'D a
player pool 10 supply talent in
case Of a catastrophe to any
member club. such as a plane OF
train wreck which could wipe out
a team.
Committees were appointed 70
examine possibilities Of taking
out a blanket insurance policy
that would protect the interests
OF the clubs contributing to the
player pool.
The American League voted 10
adopt a three-game post-season
playoh in case Of a tie for the
penf1ant. In the past the Amer
lean League has had a one-game
playoff. The National League
has had a three-game playoh.
