INTERNATIONAL Trucks II Lacey Won It appears that Snooks Lacey with Bobby Richards Wednesday night after all. Harry v. Collins, who teamed up with Frank Saunders and Referee Packey Mc Farland in reaching a decision, announced Friday that in recheck- ing his scorecard he discovered he had credited Lacey with win ning 8 rounds, Richards 5, while 2 were even. At the ringside he gave the result as 7 for Richards, 6 for Lacey and 2 even. This was identical with Referee McFarland's scoring. Saunders de cided that each contender had won six rounds while three were even. The error is blamed onto the fact that the judges were being pressed to add up their scores in order to give the result to the crowd as quickly as possible. Collins says he rechecked his card because he felt all of the time that Lacey had won the engagement. 10 Capital Journal, Salem, K. Era By Football for the little guy, 150 pounds or under, is being plan ned as a Big Nine project. In addition to varsity teams, member schools of the Western conference also hope to field junior teams comprised entirely of players weighing 150 pounds or less. En thusiasm for the project has been dampened, however, by a lack of playing space and equipment. It is hoped that "junior weight" play may be inaugurated this fall, but unless more space, equipment and coaches are obtained in the meantime, the project will have to mark time for at least another year. Here 'n There "It's been a long, long time," but Gonzaga university this sea son will operate a baseball club, the first diamond aggregation to represent the Spokane college since 1927. . . . Various defensive shifts employed by opponents of the Boston Red Sox last season in efforts to deaden the powerful effect of Ted Williams' right field hitting are expected to disappear in 1947. It has become apparent in spring training games that Mr. Williams can and will hit to left field. . . . When the Stanford university rowing crew traveled to Corvallis a few weeks ago to compete with the Oregon State team, members of the Stanford crew had to pay their own expenses, aided somewhat by donations from rowing enthusiasts. Crew is not recognized as a sport on the Indian campus, so the school doesn't foot the bill on traveling costs. In fact, team members must pay dues to the "Crew association." More 'Gatherings' Rain didn't stop the Oakland Oaks of the Pacific Coast league from holding practice sessions during the early stages of spring training this year. When Jupiter Pluvious stepped in to dampen the Oaks' practice field, the club made use of a drained-out, in door swimming pool. . . . Cling Hartung, the much-publicized and greatly-ballyhoocd New York Giant rookie, may be the storybook baseball player his clippings tell about. During the training season, Hartung has been walloping the horsehide pellet consist ently and slamming it hard and far, too. . . .

April 4 U.R) Tho door barring Merle' Hapes and Frank Filchock from pro fessional football probably for ever swung shut today. Square-jawed Bert Bell, coirf missioner of the National Foot ball league, in the most' far- reaching rulings in the annals' of the pro gridiron game,' sus-'' pended them indefinitely for their roles in the attempted fix of last year's championships game. Bell admitted the decision was "tough one to make," but said the New York Giants' backficlcf stars were found guilty of -'"actions detrimental to the welfare' of the National Football league and of professional football." "Professional football," Bell said in his decision announced yesterday, "cannot continue to. exist unless it is based upon ab solute honesty. The players must be not only absolutely hon est: they must be above sus picion." The ruling on Filchock . ana Hapes was the most recent chap ter in the greatest sport scandal since the 19 19 world series. Only 24 hours earlier three men had been sentenced to prison terms for their parts in the at- ' tempt to fix last December's game.
