Line Up Talent
For 1945 Battles
By Jack Cuddy
(United I'rmu SU Correspondent)
Lakewood, N. J., March 12 lfi.
The New York Giants may have
their troubles this season, but
from the looks of the horde of
hungry young men on hand today
lor the start of spring training,
manpower Isn't going to be a proh
lem.
They have more pitchers, for
example, than several clubs have
players in all positions and by the
time tneir centralized training
program for six farm clubs gets
underway here tnere may De oe-
tween 400 and 500 players to
choose from.
All of which adds up to the fact
that this c-o-u-l-d be a Giant year
and little muffin-mouthed Mel utt
is beaming hopefully over the
prospects.
Thiiurs Look Good
He took a quick look at the
early-bird contingent of 18 play
ers who arrived yesterday, reeled
out a fat and well-thumbed roster
and said that "things look pretty
cood for us.
How did the Giants manage to
come up with this plentitude of
power when other club owners
are walling at the wall because
they can't pick up even two or
three promising newcomers to fill
gaps 7
"Give Carl Hubbell, the Giant
farm manager credit for that," Ott
said. "Hub has lined up enough
players to go around for all of
the farm clubs and I think we
really will have some quantity
here shortly."
In addition to the Giants and
their Jersey City farm club of the
International league, players from j
Danville, Va., a class C team, and i
Bristol, Va., Hickory, N. C, Erie,
Pa., and Springfield, O., all class
D squads will be on hand for con
ditioning activities. Then on
March 25 and April 1, Hubbejl
will conduct tryout camps for
free agents and young players
who have been recruited for pos
sible use on any of the various
clubs. Some of these might even
make the grade with the Giants.
New Talent Sought
What Ott is hoping for most of
all is another Bill Volselle among
the crop of 22 pitchers on the
Giant roster. If another young
star could be found who could
match Volselle's 21-game winning
record of 1944, the Giants might
he on their way to a penfiant.
Pitching was their one outstand
ing weakness last year and be
cause Volselle had td. carry the
load by himself, the Giants didn t
get very far, despite a promising
start. v
There are several outstanding
prospects among the pitchers who
might fill the bill. Of the return
ing staff men, Rube Fischer,
Ewald Pyle and Harry Feldman
appear to bo the best and of
course there Is rubber-armed Aco
Adams for relief purposes.
Van Llnglc Mungo is back after
a year In the army, and the top
prospects up from the minors are
Jtay llarrell, a right handcr ob
tained In a trade with San Fran
cisco; Bill Emmerich, drafted
from the Rochester Red Wings;
Lorcn Bain, purchased from Min
neapolls; and Frank Seward
Andy Hansen, Frank Rosso, and
Walter Ockey all up from the Jer
sey City club. Two left banders,
Melvin Hciman, discharged from
the coast guard, and Don King
signed as a free agent, also may
noisier tne stall.
Oregon Webfeet
Take First Game
Pullman, Wash., March 12 Uli -
The Oregon Webfeet won the first
playoff game for the Northern di
vision basketball title when they
defeated Washington State college
Saturday night 51-41. Haiti line

tage until late in the first half

Los Angeles, March 12 U1 A
pan-American clearing house for
North and South American box
ers was proposed today by htan
ley Paul, former Latin American
newspaperman and army warrant
officer.
"As soon as the war ends, I
want to open an office in Los
Angeles importing and exporting
fighters. There are a flock of
kids in this country who would
like to visit other lands. There
are scads of lads In other coun
tries who would like to come to
the United States," Paul said.
"I would have representatives In
all South and Central American
capitals. Say my man in Venezuela
wires me to send him a light
weight and a welter. All right, I
ask him to send along a light
heavy and a heavyweight."
"But there are a lot of angles
to this business. Top notch Latin
American fighters have a very dif
ficult time getting Into this coun
trytoo many fighting clubs are
closed corporations and it takes
more than a crowbar to force an
opening," Paul said earnestly.
mere are many fiRhters all
over South and Central America
and in the Caribbean who would
be championship contenders if
they got the opportunitv, but it's
very difficult to get them into the
country."
Paul pointed out that It would
be to the promoters' advantage to
use tne Latin fighters.
They take their boxing seri
ously in the Latin American coun
tries it s the same to them as
baseball is to us. There are gym
nasiums all over and almost every
kid starts boxing before he's 15
years om.

"Alejandro Vega, a welter
weight fighting at Ocean Park
next week, started at the age of
14. Baby Arizmendl started at 12.
That's typical," Paul said.
"Fighting is real work down
there. Some of the very best Latin
American fighters have never
earned more than $100 in their
lives.
"When a Latin-American man
ager tries to get a bout for his
fighter in this country, ho gen
erally has to hire a professional
letter-writer to write the letter.
Then he spends hard-earned pen
nies, yes I said pennies, to pay
for the stamps and in most cases
he never even gets an answer
from the American promoter,"
Paul said regretfully.
it doesn t make sense the pro
moters are the losers in the long
run. so tar, Bane Mcuoy, promo
ter at the Olympic auditorium
here In Los Angeles, is the only
one who has cooperated. He knows
as l do that there are good fight
ers In the Latin countries and
that-financially they are a good
investment.
"There's Oscar Calle, a feather
weight not known outside of Ven
ezuela, who is probably the great
est in the world. There's a fellow
called Relampago Negro (black
lightning) down In Bolivia and
Carlos Soria, a great Argentinian
lightweight, and Kid Filipino, a
Mexican welterweight, and El Zur
do Iguana, middleweight in Santa
Domingo all great fighters I
could go on and on," Paul said.
"Such an exchange would be a
good thing for South America, for
the United Slates, for the fighters,
for the promoters and for boxing
boxing can use a few good
things.

Brooklyn's Star
Is Not Enrolled
New York, March 12 (IPi Mayor
F. H. LaGuardla called the Brook
lyn college faculty on the carpet
today to explain hoiv star basket
ball player, Larry Pearlstein, one
of five dismissed from school for
accepting a bribe, could play there
more than a year without enroll
ing as a student.
LaGuardla made the sensational
revelation in his weekly radio
broadcast yesterday in which he
charged the college officials with
"laxity, indifference and negli
gence bordering on the unpardon
able." Commissioner of Investigation
Edgar Bromberger, who reported
the Pearlstein incident to the may
or said that the college should
tender public apologies to the In
tercollegiate Athletic association
in which it competes, the schools
it played, game officials and op
posing players.
Would Nullify Games
"The college also must insist
immediately upon a reversal of all
intercollegiate games wherein it
was the winner during the time
Pearlstein was a player," Brom
berger said.-
Bromberger, conducting an In
vestigation apart from the hear
ing in progress in Kings county
l Brooklyn) court, gave Brooklyn
college a clean bill of health in an
earlier report in which he involved
only the five guilty players. He
reopened the investigation, how
ever, when Dr. Harry D. Gideonse,
president of the college, advised
him that Pearlstein never had
been a student. ,
Pearlstein Called
After LaGuardia's broadcast,
Pearlstein was summoned before
assistant district Attorney Charles
N. Cohen. Cohen said that the
youth explained he had gotten
textbooks from the college library
land carried them with him about
the camM. but .hat he never used
: . '
them.
"I don't know why they did not
become aware that I was not a
student,". Pearlstein said. "I told
com-,nohnriv nnvthinir
and asked no
questions."
