On Discharges of
'Able Bodied' Men
Washington, Feb. 15 (IPiPro-
J'ssional sports, which has been
losing more and more if Its man
power during the past few
months, suffered another jolt to
day with the disclosure that the
navy had joined the army in
cracking down on the discharges
of "apparently able-bodied" ath
letes. Under an order issued by navy
secretary James V. Forrestal on
Jan. 25, to all ships and stations,
the United Press learned that
henceforth such athletes may not
be discharged from the navy,
marine corps or coast guard un
less their cases are reviewed by
superior officers in Washington.
Forrestal, proclaiming sports
"unessential to the national
health, safety and interest," said
final judgement in the discharge
cases will be passed on by Vice
Admiral Harold R. Jacobs, chief
of navy personnel; Lt. Gen. A. A.
Vandergrift, marine corps com
mandant, or Vice Admiral R. R.
Waesche, coast guard commandant.
Order Interpreted
The order was interpreted to
mean that unless' otherwise de
creed, scores of prominent ath
letes now in the naval service
will not be able to return to their
teams until Japan is beaten.
The new navy ruling affects
such standout athletes as Bill
Dickey of the New York Yankees,
Ted Williams of the Boston Red
Sox, Bob Feller, of the Cleveland
Bears to Meet Albany Bulldogs ;

The ruling is similar to one is
sued by the war department but
does not go as far as the army
ruling whereby professional ath
letes no longer will be rejected
for army service on grounds of
physical disability until all facts
have been reviewed by the war
department.

Slider Decisions
Hammerin' Hank
Oakland, Cal., Feb. 15 (IB Ref
eree biijv ts u r K e today was
charged with a "deliberate steal1
in awarding a decision to Chet
Slider, 147 -pound Fresno, Cal.,
negro, in his fieht last nitrht with
Henry Armstrong, 141, the former
triple cnampion.
The accusation was hurled by
George Moore, Armstrong's mana
ger, who asserted he. would taken
the ease to the California boxing
commission, ii no tails to get ac
tion there, Moore said, he will go
aireci to uov. tan warren.
"I claim Burke made a deliber
ate steal of that fight," Moore
told reporters. "I'll admit that
Armstrong got the benefit of the
doubt In a previous fight with
fancier, wnich was called a draw,
cut two wrongs don't make a
right and we'll take this to the
highest authorities for investiga
tion.
Demand Made
I demand that Burke be re
lieved of his referee's license im
mediately."
The rumpus was the result of
Burke's awarding a close fight to
Slider. Using the California point
system, the United Press score
sheet showed 56 points for Arm
strong, 54 for the young Fresno
battler. But on the round system,
it ended with three rounds to each
fighter, with four being even.
Moore's major protest was that
Burke came out of the ring to fell
state inspectors that his score cmrd
had cither been "lost or stolen.
He told officials that his card
showed Slider won by five points,
but that he couldn't recall the
rounds and became confused un
der questioning by the state in.
spectors.
Armstrong Favored
Newsmen at the ringside were
nearly unanimous in their belief
that Armstrong should have won
or that a draw decision would
have been the worst "the ex-champ
should have received.
The fight was admittedly close
all the way, witn Armstrong mak
ing his big bid for victory in the
third round when he knocked Sli
der down twice for short counts.
Slider injured his leg In the falls'
and fought the last seven rounus

put up a courageous battle to gain
