Brooklyn Dodger
Chief Plans His
Own Grid Team
By Glen Perkins
(United Fru Staff Correspondent)
New York, Jan. 4 ilM Presi
dent Branch Rickey of the Brook
lyn Dodgers brought his post
war professional football plans
more or less out into the open
today and with a minimum of his
usual verbal fencing indicated
that he would have a team ready
for one of the new leagues by
19-16.
The boss of the Dodgers thus
became the first baseball execu
tive to Indicate definitely that he
would desolve the "feud" with
pro football magnates with a
counter-measure by starting a
team himself.
Rickey said that ho would pro
vide Capt. Dan Topping, owner
of the Brooklyn Tigers of the
National professional league, with
a one year contract to operate
at Ebbets field through next sea
son, but emphasized that he would
"not commit the use of the field
beyond that."
Short Of Players
He said he doubted whether any
of the new professional circuits
would be able to put through
their contemplated plans for ope
ration next year because of the
acute shortage of athletic man
power which makes even the ope
ration of the established national
circuit problematical.
The Dodger boss would not re
veal which of the new three pro
loops he was considering, al
though it has been reported that
he has been approached by pro
moters of each. He said he would
stand by and "await develop
ments." Discussing the baseball situa-'
tion, he said that he was confident
the major leagues would have
enough players for full scale op
erations in 1945, but that he hoped
before the season began the sport
would receive another "green
light" from President . Roosevelt.
Players Inducted
However, he said that three
more of his own players, pitcher
, Frank (Rube) Melton, shortstop
Eddie Miksis, and first baseman
Jack Boiling, had been inducted
recently and that there were
prospects that others might go
soon. He also revealed that there
was little chance of persuading
infielder Arky Vaughn to leave
his Potter Valley, Cal., ranch next
summer to play with the club.
Vaughn remained out of baseball
in 1944 to operate his holdings and
indicated he will do the same this
year, Rickey said.
Rickey left after the press con
ference for Chicago where he will
meet with the major league com
mittee formulating a new agree
ment under which the successor

Portland Eagles
Beat Shamrocks
San Francisco, Jan. 4 UP) The
sharp-shooting Portland Eagles,
led by forward Alfred Carr with
four goals, caught the San Fran
cisco Shamrocks badly off balance
last night to run up a 13-4 victory
before 2300 fans in Winterland
arena. . - --
Carr, recent acquisition from
icy Toronto, made the four goals
unassisted and participated in five
assists as the Eagles rang up
three goals in the first period.
five in the second and five in the
third when an assortment of fisti
cuff broke out sending two Eagles
and two Shamrocks to the bench
on 10 minute suspensions.
The second period was cut short
four minutes when goalie Foodeyu
of the Eagles was cut over the eye
by a free stick.. The free-for-all
fracas developed shortly after the
start of the last period when the

Today's Sport Parade
By Jack Cuddy
(United Press Stuff Cornwuondont)
New York, Jan. 4 UPi The
sweet corporals Billy Conn and
Fritzie Zivic are the best fight
ers to come banging out of Pitts
burgh sinre the days of Harry
Greb. Although the corporals have
much in common, Conn is known
as "the Profile" because of his
choir-boy face; and Zivic is called
"the Map" because of his battered
beezer.
Despite their topographical dis
similitude and their cordial dis
like for each other, heavyweight
Conn and former welterweight
champion Zivic are probably the
most popular white fighters in the
world today. Their current abili
ties may be uncertain, due to the
years and the vicissitudes of war:
but their popularity is alive and
largo because of their blazing
ring-courage and past achieve
ments, and because of their good
fellowship. Corporal Conn is in the Euro
pean war zone Paris last week.
Corporal Zivic is in Now York, on
furlough from Normoyle Field,
Tex. "The Map" is here to fight
Billy Arnold, Philadelphia's sen
sational highschool-boy knock
out artist, at Madison Square
Garden tomorrow night! ml "the
Map" has astounded cauliflower

to its grisly foundations by an
nouncing that he will have his i
battered boozer beautified, after
the Arnold bout. He will have his;
mashed button of a nose lifted
and straightened. I
Inhabitants of tin-ear terrace j
are incredulous over the an-,
nouncemont, which the last of the
five fighting Zivics delivered in
his usual machine-gun fashion
late yesterday at the 20th century
club. For thorn, Fritzie's bashed
geezer has epitomized perfectly i
what a pug should look like. It !
has been a symbol of the profes-j
sion. Beautifying the Pittsburgh
Croatian's nose would be almost
as momentous a change, for thorn,
as removing the Statue of Liberty ;
from New York harbor or dis-
covering that Mike Jacobs hadj
grown a set of new teeth.
The announcement must have i
been particularly shocking ini
Pittsburgh, causing a social torn-,
blor that jittered the tea cups in
Patrician fingers. We understand,
that the smokoy city differs from i
Gaul in that it is divided into but
two parts pro-Zivics and pro
Conns. Unquestionably, Fritzie's I

sire leaves open the door to in
sinaations that "the Map" will try
to have himself fixed up to look
like Conn, "the Profile." Such in
sinuations would be fighting
words to any prp-Zivlc.
Zivic says, "I been intendin'. a
long time to get my nose fixed.
I'll do it after the Arnold fight;
because that's my last fight. I'm
gonna quit then honest. And

Bill Hihalo is probably the only

20,000 meter strides. The song the
corporal whistles as he hikes is
"I Walk Alone." Which doubtless
is true.

Bears Taper Off
For Pelican Game
Concluding a gruelling three
hour practice, longest of the sea
son, Bend Lava Bear hoopmen,
preparing for their week-end
games against Klamath Falls, left
the court last night with three
tilings foremost in their minds.
The final practice before the
tilts with the Pelicans on the Bend
court Friday and Saturday nights
stressed softening of Bear shoot
ing technique, relaxation and un
der the basket defense.
The workout was polished off
with a long scrimmage. At times
the Bears showed flashes of the
type of play that carried them Into
the finals of the state tournament
last March in Salem, and it is
Coaoh Claude Cook's opinion that
as soon as the Bears can remem
ber to stay loosened up on their
shots and remain relaxed in their
play they will turn in some top
notch ball.
Hot Ami Cold
There could be flashes of this
type of play in the Klamath ser
ies, but Coacli Cook expects the
boys to be hot and cold. In the
tugono series, the Bears were
iiot in their opening quarters,
then cold the rest of the game.
However, the Bears are not tak
ing the Eugene defeats too seri
ously, for the Axemen at present
appear to have just about the
most powerful team in upstate
! Oregon.
Fans may see Harold Smitli
turn in some nice work this week
end, for this tourney veteran ap
pears to be finding himself.
On Friday and Saturday nights,
Coacli Everett Gettman's Cubs,
local junior high aggregation,
will play Gilchrist and Sisters in
the opening games of the Central
Oregon "B" league.
