were at this time a year ago.
"Although we may have a few
more oldsters this season and
m,any more, 17-year-old kids, we
are in good shape and expect
even more Interesting baseball
than we had last year," president
Clarence (Pants) Rowland of the
Pacific coast league said in voic
ing the general, optimism of his
minor league colleagues.
Kids Become Stars
"Last year, kids who never be
fore would have been in the
league were stars and it will be
more so this year," president w.
G. (Billy) Evans of the southern
association said.
Following is a league-by-leaguo
report on the player picture:
, Eastern league, president Tom
my Richardson "we're well fixed
and should have no trouble. We
have 17 service dischargees who
will help us immensely and that
will be true for the others."
Southern association, Evans
"better shape now than a year ago
at this time due to the young
kids."
Carolina State league, which Is
starting up this season after two
years' inactivity, president c M.
Lewellyn "five of our teams are
major league farms and one has
a working agreement. The man
power outlook for them is very
good. However, our two inae
pendent teams may have trouble."
League Ixxiks Good
Piedmont league, president
Frank Lawrence of Portsmouth
"on paper we look as good now
as a year ago and we expect no
trouble."
President George Trautman of
the American association and
president Leo Miller of the Syra

deputy police Inspector, who has
watched college basketball teams
play for big time gate receipts
at Madison Square garden, amaz
ed the sport world today with a
suggestion that the players be

(United 1'reM Staff Correspondent)
Portland, Ore., Feb. 28 U1 If
a Calif brnlan adressesan Oregon
Ian about how the fighters of the
states have-fared in Oregon rings,
our advice to the Oregonlan is to
reply "duntesk" and to guide the
conversation to some other subject.
For as long as this writer can
remember, fighters from Califor
nia have been constant flies in the
soup as far as Oregon's idols of
fistiana arc concerned.
Each time a promising mittman
developed in this state, up
jumps a guy from the not-so-sunny
state and gives the Oregon boy
forget-me-not in the form ox a
good whipping.
Mot to be caught short In a mat
ter of proof, we cite the following
examples: , .
Buck in the Hoover days, there
was a scrapper by the name of
Benny PeltzA who -,had' a - great
fighting Heart and a bit of ability
along with It. All goes well until
Fidel La Barba, Stanford univer
sity's greatest contribution to
boxing, comes up and gives Benny
as neat a lacing as you ever saw
and Peltz's ideas of rising to big
time were forgotten.
A short time later, Joe Water
man, veteran Portland promoter,
develops two great drawing cards
simultaneously. One was Ah Wing
Lee, a southpaw Chinese light
weight with TNT in his punches
a-plenty and the other was a col
ored scrapper by the name of
Andy Bundy who was clever as
all get out.
These boys ran up groat win
streaks and packed 'em in every
time. Finally, Waterman decided
to give the pair a real test. He im
ports young Peter Jackson, Cal
ifornia lightweight champ, and
Georgie Hansford, California
featherweight king, for title
matches with Lee and Bundy re
sportively.
What nanpensr
Jackson chills Lee In the sev
enth canto and Hansford easily
trims uunuy.
Loss of Lee and Bundy along
with an epidemic of nomunltls
that hit about that time caused a
slump In Portland boxing until
Powder Proctor and Leo Turner,
two pretty fair middlewelghts,
pop Into the limelight a few years
ago. Both do right well until a Cos-
tollo Cruz Is Imported from Cal
ifornia. Blng, blng! The clever
Cruz stops both of the Oregon
aces.

South Bend Irish
Without Coach
South Bend, Ind., Feb. 28 ttP
Notre Dame was without a head
football coach or an. athletic di
rector today for the second time
in 12 months and the third time
in a little more than four years.
Ed McKeever's . acceptance of
the head coaching job at Cornell
vacated two jobs at Notre Dame.
The 34-year-old Texan was serv
ing both as athletic director and
head grid mentor in the absence
of navy Lt Frank Leahy.
Notre Dame's board of athletics
is expected to meet Thursday to
name-a duration successor or suc
cessors to McHeever. The Rev.
John Cavanaugh, C. S. C, vice
president of the university and
chairman of the athletic board,
refused to comment on possible
action by the board.
Devore Favored
If the two jobs are given to
one man, which has been a gen
eral policy at Notre Dame for the
past 25 years, Hugh John Devore
is expected to get the nod. Devore,
34-year-old line coach, was Mc-
Keever s No. 1 assistant last fall.
If the jobs are split, Devore
probably will get the head coach
ing job and Adam Walsh would
be named acting athletic director.
Walsh, the captain of the famed
four horsemen" team of 1924,
formerly coached at Bowdoin col
lege before joining McKeever's
staff last fall.
Gas asphyxiation fatalities have
increased in the United States
50 since the beginning of the
war; carbon monoxide, because
It is colorless and odorless, caused
most of the deaths.
Man Eats Check,
Given Fine of $10
Chicago, Feb. 28 (IB A skepti
cal restauranter forced Otis Thom
as, 31, to make good on his prom
ise that "if that check isn't good,
I'll eat it."
Policeman Walter Green told
Judge Charles S. Dougherty in
felony court that when he hap
pened into Charles and Ellamae's
chicken ranch, the proprietor
pointed Thomas out. He then
showed Green a check for $4.80,
which had been returned from the
bank, and asked him to arrest
Thomas.
"Let me see that check," Thom
as said. - -,
Green handed it to him. There
upon Thomas crumpled lt up,
seasoned it with salt and pepper
and ate it..
"Now," Green quoted him as
saying, "Where is your evidence?"
Dougherty admitted that with
out the check, he had no choice
but to dismiss confidence charges
against Thomas. But he fined him
$10 for resisting an officer..

signed by Gordon Murdock, Eu

"We have a daughter who, with
her husband, was a prisoner in

ter from her, the first one in a

He is a good fellow and they all

The Chicago Uluckhawks pin

playoffs today on beating the
New York Rangers tomorrow
night.
The Ulackhawks had a hig
chance last night and muffed it at
Toronto, where they skated to a

That left them five points behind
the Rangers with only seven
games to play in which to over
