Baseball has Its manpower prob
lems and traveling woes, but now

Charlie Grimm headed for the
French Lick convention hall to
loosen up.

the worst problem for they head
into camp in seven days at Evans
ville, which is on the banks of the
rampaging Ohio and is one of In
diana's hardest hit towns. Last
year, the Tigers were beset by
flood problems and this year may
be even worse.
The world champion Cardinals
probably will keep their feet dry
since they don't pitch camp for 11
days and Cairo is protected by a
60-foot sea wall. However, their
fellow townsmen, the Browns, are
expecting a wet welcome at Cape
Girardeau, situated on the Missis
sippi. Usually a target for the Missis
sippi in early spring, Cape Girard
eattHs expected to be ' hard hit
this year.
The other Indiana spots are in
relatively good shape. They all
have been swept by heavy rains,
ranging from two to four Inches,
but the diamonds are expected to
dry rapidly.
The Cub party left here last
night and included pitchers Ed
Hanyzewski, George Hennessey
and Al Nusser, infielder Johnny
Ostrowski, putfielders Cecil Gar
rlott and Frank, Secory and catch
er Joe Stephenson. Among the
"original 16" who did not make it

Coasting Along in the Sport World
By Jack Cuddy
(United Pran Stiff Correipondent)
Summit, N. J., March 8 HP)
Freddie Cochrane, the red-headed
ex-sailor man, plans to make his
first defense of the world welter
weight championship against Ray
"Sugar" Robinson (of all people)
at Soldiers Field, Chicago, in June.
Contracts for the bout probably
will be signed March 26.
Willie Gilzenberg, manager of
29-year-old Cochrane, made this
surprising disclosure today at
Bey's training camp where the
champion is working back into
condition after three and a half
years in the navy.
Acceptance of Robinson as Fred
die's first title opponent was unex
pected. Boxing men had taken it
for granted that Cochrane would
avoid the dangerous New York
negro as long as possible. They
expected that Red, who entered
service a few days after winning
the 147-pound title from Fritzie
Zivic in July, 1941, would try to
cash in on the crown now in a
series of bouts with mediocre op
ponents before risking it against
Harlem's dancing dynamiter.
And Cochrane c-o-u-l-d cash in.
He is receiving offers from all sec
tions. He is the only undisputed
world champion In civvies today.
He is king of the welter division
the rich divison that is jammed
with more civilian talent than any
other class. He has an excellent
war record. He went in before
Pearl Harbor and received his
honorable discharge two months
ago. His naval activities included
action in the south Pacific. The
red-headed veteran frnm MillciHo
N. J., is "big box office" now.
wny men is ne accepting a Rob
inson title tilt?
Gilsenberg explained: "In the
first place, Freddie promised his
buddies In the navy that he would
be a fighting champion when he
got out. He's got a whole flock of
buddies, because as a specialist,
grade 'A,' he instructed mo"re than
200,000 boys in boxing during his
long hitch. That was in addition
to other duties.
"In the second place, we hare
received a large offer to defend
against Robinson. A Chicago syn
dicate, headed by promoter Jack
Kearns, has guaranteed Freddie
$100,000, with the privilege of tak
ing 45 per cent of the net gate.
TTlPV PVnOPt fhO hntlt in rlf-a.t, nt
least $250,000. Robinson is being
guaranteea 323,IJU0, with no
strings attached. Robinson doesn't
have to agree to a return title bout
if he beats Freddie. Cochrane and
I do not believe in those return
bout contracts. They are the ruina
tion of boxing. Robinson's repre
sentative. Oeorpe HaincfrtrH ar.
cepted the match yesterday." '

RED CROSS

THERE Isn't much you can do when you
hear your boy is a prisoner. Parcels are
restricted, mail from him is limited. Like
him, you must wait, patiently, until the war
is over;
Yet you da have one consolation; The
far-reaching arm of the Red Cross gets sup
plementary food parcel to our prisoners
regularly wherever possible. It brings extra
clothing, cigarettes and medicines to the
lonely boys "out there." It relays emergency
messages to and from anxious families. . -
This is all part of the stupendous job the
Red Cross is doing for our fighting men all
over the world ; ; . and for their families at
home. But It cannot be done without your
support. Without your help the Red Cross
could not continue to collect life-saving
blood for the wounded ; ; . to send essential
supplies to the prisoners of war s : ; or to
give the countless other friendly services
that make a soldier's life a little easier;
These men have given a lot for you. Won't
you give a few extra dollars for them?
