Jan. 21-tiB-Pvt Joe Louis Wednesday night re ceived the Edward J. Neil me morial trophy as the man who did the most for boxing in 1941; and with the award, former Mayor James J. Walker gave Joe "the highest title known among our people that of an American gen tleman.' The heavyweight champion, all dressed up in his brand new sol dier suit, was guest of honor at the' annual dinner of the Boxing Writers Association of New York to receive both the plaque given annually in memory of the As sociated Press sports writer and war correspondent who was killed in Spain in 1938 and also the Ring magazine merit award as the fighter of the year. Lieut Commander Gene Tun- ney of the navy, the former heavyweight champion, came in for a share of the honors, re ceiving a special award from the boxing writers for "his ser vices to boxing during the year," as head of the navy athletic activities. v A crowd of 250, liberally sprin kled with army and navy gold braid and the leading beachcomb ers of Jacobs beach, turned out in Ruppert's brewery for the - pro ceedings, which were topped off with the presentation of the plaque to the Brown Bomber. "When I won the heavyweight championship,' Louis said on receiving the handsome bronze trophy. "I thought I'd never feel that good again. But to night tops it all. I've never felt better In my life than I do right now. I hope I never did any thing in the ring that Til be sorry for in years to come." OrV; 3k .

Holdouts Really On Spot; Can't Yell Too Loud Now By WHITNEY MARTIN Wide World Sports Columnist NEW YORK, Jan. 21 We have a furtive idea that the usual feeding -time roar of the baseball holdouts will be confined; to a practically inaudible whimper this year, for the players are cagey enough to realize that the less said about the money they are drawing down the :" ...

About the only way you com a get away rrom it right now would be to pay the ball players $21 a month and the soldiers $20,000 or $30,000 a year, and even then there would be squawks that the ball players were making their money too easy. Well, it Is easy money, at that The ball players started to play ball as youngsters because It was a game and they like It They continued to play because they could make their living at It and they still liked it and If they couldn't get paid for playing most of them would be playing Sunday afternoons with the neighborhood teams for nothing. But that s neither here nor there. The idea is that the boys toting a' gun or squatting watch fully amid the tail feathers of a victories over both teams by near identical scores. Friday and Saturday nights the Eastern Oregon college Mountain eers eome to do battle with OCF Wolves In Oregon Intercollegiate competition. Chief worry of the Wolf pack is how to check hemp hitting Rostock, a 20-point aver age per game man of last year's eastern squad Ex-Champ Is No. 27 it The question of whether or not the ball player Is worth to bis club what he asks does not enter Into It It Is the Idea that he ttti that kind of money for playing a game that rankles when your soldier starts com paring his job with that of the ball player. Sure,; it may not be fair. The ball players go when .they are called, as It's either that or go to the jug, and they shouldn't be criticized for waiting for their call any more than a ribbon clerk or taxi driver, or a sports writer, for that matter, who sits tight as long as he can. Neither should baH players be rated super-patriotic because they do go Into service when they are called. : The reason more space In the papers Is giv en to I the entry of an athlete than your ordinary Jsba.K. Bump with -his G-strtng mus cles and wheeling bellows is be cause athletes are built on pub licity, thrive on It and pass out with. U. It wouldn't be consist ent to publicise your star during normal" times and then not even mention the fact he had gone Into the bigger game. The ball players really are on the spot this year.. In the past they have put their bosses on the spot with ultimatums that if the club expected to benefit by their serv ices it ! would have to boost the ante. That in most cases it was 99 pet cent bluff made no difference. They hall the public believing the bosses Were Simon Legrees in auk hats, and the bosses had to come through lor their own protection. This year the players know .they are. vulnerable to public opinkm, and that the louder they say - nothing about salary ; Increases the .better It win be for them.
