PAGE TWO
Front Line Men
Backing Baseball,
Veterans Assert
By Klchard C. Glass

Miami, Fla., Jan. 16 mi Throe
returning veterans of major
league baseball, who talked with
servicemen in a 35,000-mile tour
of the China-Burma-India theater,
agreed today that interest in the
sport is keener there than back
home in America.
The trio, Manager Luke Sewell
of the American league champion
St. Louis Brown, Fred (Dixie)
Walker of the Brooklyn Dodgers,
and Paul Waner of the New York
Yankees, talked themselves
hoarse, they said, in attempting
to answer hundreds of questions
on baseball for the G.I.'s.
The baseball men, who arrived
yesterday by plane along with
Arthur Patterson, New York Herald-Tribune
sports writer, com
prised one of the five units sent
out by the major leagues in con
nection with the United Service
organizations for entertaining
servicemen overseas.
Like Baseball
"Wherever we went we found
the fellows keenly Interested in
baseball," Sewell said. "They
asked a thousand or more ques
tions and we did our level best
to answer them. Sometimes we
were stumped."
In some areas, Waner said,
baseball news travels fast, while
In others there was still some
doubt as to which of the St. Louis
club had won the world series.
Walker, who amazed baseball
by winning the National league
batting championship with the
highest average of his long career
last season, said that his Brooklyn
Dodgers came in for most of the
attention in the quizzing bees.
"They wanted to know how
long it would be before my boss,
Branch Rickey, will be building
us a championship team, and if
they had raised the prices of
bleacher seats at Ebbets field,
how the hot dogs tasted there
now, and a dozen other things
like that," Walker said.
The routine of their show con
sisted of showing pictures of the
1944 world series, distributing au
tographed baseballs, and telling
diamond anecdotes. After that
they turned the sessions over to
questioning;
"And, boy, did they let us have
it," Sewell exclaimed.
Patterson said that the ques
tion of whether 4-K's should no
permitted to continue to play
baseball came up only once,
shortly after the announcement
by War Mobilization Director
James F. Byrnes that he had
asked selective service to review
the deferments of 4-K athletes.
Typical of G. I. comment, Pat
terson said, was that of Pvt. Ed
win Ohlman of Valentine, Nehr.
"Stop baseball? Who's gonna
do that? How many men do they
need for two big leagues anyhow?"

(United Press Staff Correspondent)
New York, Jan. 16 HB Jumping
Joe Salvoldl, one of the war's
mystery men, returns to the mat
at Philadelphia tomorrow night
after an absence of nearly 18
months . most of which were
spent at various European fronts
on secret missions for the armed
forces.
Exact details of Savoldi's ac
tivities "over there" must remain
cloaked for some time, upon or
ders from Uncle Sam; but no Hol
lywood scenarist is needed to
imagine the perilous enterprises
probably undertaken by this lin
guist, Notre Dame graduate, and
bone-crushing alhlele.
"I am not permitted to say
much about my duties overseas,"
the brawney, black-haired wrest
ler explained today at the Al
Mayer-Toots Mondt hooking. .of-
flee. "You see, I'm still subject to
recafl If they need me again."
"Have you been discharged
from the army?" '
"f wasn't In the army."
"What were you in?"
"Let's say I wasn't In anything.
Let's just .my I was working- for
(he government on special assign
ment. Yes, I am permitted to tell
what areas I visited. They were
North Africa, Sicily, Italy includ
ing Salerno, and France includ
ing Normandy. Yes, I was under
fire plenty, at times. No, I wasn't
wounded." He grinned and adrled,
"this sear on my cheek and these
cauliflower ears' came before the
war."
Jumping Joe, who contributed
the "drop-kick" (under a man's
chin) to wrestling, probably was
picked for his secret duties be
cause he provided a triple threat
on the various fronts, with his
languages, Intelligence and brawn.
He speaks Italian without an ac
cent, having been born and given
his early schooling In Italy. He
understands and speaks French
fairly well, having lived iftpre-war
Franco more than eight months.
At Notre Dame, under the late
Knute Rockne, he won his varsity
letter as fullback for three sea
sons; and he was graduated with
a B. S. degree. Ho won Jim Lon
dos' claims to the heavyweight
championship in 1933, and lost
them to Jim Browning in '35. He
played pro football briefly with
the Chicago Bears "before turn
ing to the more lucrative field of
modified mayhem.
Jumping Joe admitted that he
had made "good money" during
12 years on the mat. Now, at 36,
he has a fine home at Harbert,
Mich., where his 11-year-old son,
Joe, Jr., enjoys a private beach op
Lake Mlchlgnni Just before the
war he opened a soft-drink mamjj
factury; but he had to close after
Pearl Harbor, because his brief
career as a manufacturer did not
entitle him to priorities on ingre
dients. Savoldi . believes that the war
will have two effects upon wrest
ling. "There will be a boom In the
sport when peace comes," he said,
"for thousands of service boys
have become Interested In it be
cause of their training in com
mando training probably will
make future wrestling much
rougher than it is now with a
tendency toward gouging, chop
ping, butting and kneeing. Mean
while, modernized wrestling of
present must be given credit for
contributing much to commando
tactics Improvements that have
out-dated the old jujilsu of the
Japanese."

Cougars Tonight

The veteran WSC team will

flue, and his reappearance in the
lineup will bolster the Orange
men's chances. Probable starters

forwards; Red Rocha, center; and
Bernie McGrath and Larry West,
guards.

pre-scries casualty today when it

Quarterly Ratings
Of Fighters Given
Paterson, N. J., Jan. 16 HP) Abe
. Greene, president of the Na
tional Boxing association, propos
ed today that International
matches be revived as a wartime
stimulant to Allied unity.
His proposal, made simultane
ously with the release of the N.
B. A. 's quarterly ratings, suggest
ed that international competition
could be opened with a United
States match between flyweights
Jackie Patterson of England and
Dado Marino of Hawaii.
Such a match would not only
revive interest in the nearly for
gotten 112-pound division, Greene
said, but it would recall for the
world's boxing fans the ring epic
between Jimmy Wilde of England
and Pancho Villa of the Philip
pines, fought at New York In 1923.
Would Be For Title
The proposed bout would be
for the world flyweight title, like
the Wild-Villa battle, because Eng
land's Patterson is recognized as
champion by the N. B. A., and
Hawaus Marino of the U. S.
army is rated runner-up.
