No Intention to Retire
Savs 87-Year-0ld Mack
m
By LEO H. PETERSON
(United Ptcu sport Editor)
West Palm Beach, Fla.,
March 17 (U.PJ A lot of peo
ple are under the impression
that Connie Mack, win or lose
in his 50th year as manager
of the Philadelphia Athletics,
Is going to quit baseball at
the end of the 1950 season.
But It Just Isn't so, the lean,
stately, 87-year-old owner and
leader of the A's said today.
"Mark my word, I have no
Intention of retiring." .He
tates emphatically, "it's the
last thing I'll ever do."
And from the way he said
It, you know that it will take
serious Illness to force him
to give np the reins of his
beloved Athletics.
There was sentiment in his
high - pitched voice and a
chool-boy gleam in his eyes
as he assayed the pennant
chances of his 1950 club. Not
"because I want to win one
more pennant, but because I
want to reward the fans of
Philadelphia and the sur
rounding territory," he said.
"I am going to have very

Golf 'Widower' May
Come from New Idea
By OSCAR FRALEY
tunned Pre Sport Writer)
New York, March 18 (U.R) The
golf "widower" was the new
order of the fairways today as
the ladies of the links lined up
a drive which would put sucn
alleged sluggers as Chick Mar
bert and Sammy Snead to bitter
shame.
The gals are all set to tee off
in California, hit their second
shots in Chicago, play their ap
proach in Cleveland and hole
out in New York. It's a par four
layout for a $5,000 first prize and
the Weathervane trophy and the
men haven't ever had anything
like it.
This four-city tournament,
a 144-hole medal play affair,
is the first move of the wom
en's professional golf associa
tion to corral all the customer
dollars once the exclusive
property of the male pros.
The women pros aren't just
seeking the prize money. They're
set to throw the book at the male
pros and the male golfer. No
more "golf widows." Mama is
going to be invited to try her
shots against the experts with
such added attractions as fashion
shows and golf clinics.
The drive starts at California's
Pebble Beach course April 29
and 30 with the second 36 holes
at Chicago's Skycrest C.C. May
6 and 7, the third at Cleveland's
Ridgewood C.C, May 13 and 14,
and the windup at New York's
Knollwood C.C, May 20 and 21.
There will be $3,000 top prizes
t each city with 10 amateur
prizes, and the cup and the $5,-
000 prize for the lass who does
best over the entire four tourna
ments. The ladies will draw the
crowds, too, if their winter
swing Is any Indication. One
day at Tampa, Fla., they play
ed to 5,000 fans and another
afternoon at Orlando, Fla.,
drew 4,000 people.

Sever Boxing Relations

men's tournaments and that the
ladies of the country clubs take
75 per cent of the home club
golf lessons. That's just to prove
the ladies of the house go for
golf just as much as the guys who
hold their daily "business con
ferences" on the first tee.
But their real gimmick is
getting the club players in each
district to compete against the
traveling set. If the locals do
well, so much the better for
interest. If they don't, well,
they'll still have the fun and
thrill of playing against the
country's best women players
right in their own back yards,
with a fashion show and a
golf clinic thrown In for free.

Albany Coach
Albany Albany high school's
new basketball coach, chosen
from a list of 29 applicants is
Lee Cardon, Albany junior high
school coach last season, replac
ing Bob Buchanan, who resign
ed late this season, it was an
nounced by I. R. Halseth. sup
erintendent of Albany's public
schools.
Cardon, a graduate of Utah
State Agricultural college, at
Logan was also a star in basket
ball. He also played football in
high school and college at Logan,
and was a three-year letterman
in track, where he broke the
state record in the 200-yard low
hurdles. He formerly coached
high school basketball at Box
Elder high at Utah and took his
team to the state tournament,
placing third.
He served in the Alaskan and
European' war theaters during
World War II. He came to Al
bany last year and his junior
high teams won ten and lost two
games, both to Oregon City.

and former featherweight
champs Bat Battalino and Kid
Kaplan. France has had only
two world featherweight
champions Eugene C r i q u i
and Andre Routis. "Therefore,
this is a fight between France
and Connecticut."
Only one Frenchman and one
Connecticut clouter being allow
ed in the ring aat the same time,
and each to weigh 126 pounds,
it looked like the nutmeg state
might give La Belle France a
lesson. But, if Famechon could
fight like his pop, well, it might
be a different story.
For in World War I, Pere
Famechon received some 30
decorations, including the mili
tary medal and Croix de Guerre
with palms. And his exula-
tions over the allied victory
in World War II caused his
death.
During the first scrap, the
elder Famechon was captured
seven times and escaped sev
en times. But a heart condi
tion kept him chained to a
chair when the last war broke
out. Yet Papa Famechon
fought on, refusing to die
while the Nazis were on
French soil.
For two years he sat at the
window of his home, waiting
and repeating.
"They'll arrive."
Then the Americans marched
into Paris and Papa Famechon
leaped to his feet, threw open
that long-closed window, and
shouted:
"I told you they'd come."
He collapsed, while unfurl
ing the French and American
flags side by side from his win
dow, and died the next day.
He died happy," his 25-year-
old son insists. "He was a fighter
and that's all he was waiting
for through those black years."

S. P. Meets Diversion Problem
Of Business to Subsidized Lines
New York, Marcn 17 OH Southern Pacific Co. is meeting with
some success in efforts to solve the problem of "diversion of
freight and passengers to subsidize or inadequately regulate
competitive transport," stockholders were told today.
President A, T, Mercier in the annual report said freight ton
miles dropped 10.7 percent in
1949 and passenger-miles were
off 14.7 percent, but both "re
mained at a high level in rela
tion to pre-war volume."
Prospects were unchanged, he
said, by continued spectacular
growth in the territory served,
with population of the eight
states traversed by Southern Pa
cific system lines up 34 percent
since 1940, against a gain of 9.5
percent in the other 40 states.
Inauguration of the "anasta
Daylight" and "Starlight"
streamliners improved the rail
road's position in competition
with buses and the coach service
of airlines, Mercier reported.
Freight rate increases provid
ed a measure of relief from high
er operating costs, he said, and
substantial savings resulted from
the practice of strict economy,
increased use of diesel power
and reductions in the price of
fuel oil.
But the net railway operating
income for 1949 declined to 2.8
percent on net property invest
ment, against 3.6 percent in
1938.
Consolidated net income of
Southern Pacific transportation
system and solely controlled af
filiates for 1949 was $32,675,
618 equal to $8.66 a share com
pared with $43,770,280 or $11.60
a share in 1948.
Of $99,694,488 invested in
1949 in improvements, the sys
tem spent more than 85 percent
for purchase and construction of
new rolling stock. Acquired dur
ing the year, were 135 new diesel
locomotives, 6017 freight cars,
80 cabooses and 61 passenger
train cars.
Babe Returns to
Competitive Golf
Augusta, Ga., March 17 (U.Rt-
Babe Didrickson Zaharias, the
angular and fabled female who
has entered and won more
more than 700 athletic events,
took a long, first strike today on
golf's $17,000 trail.
The Babe whizzed in at dusk
yesterday with a men's par 72,
topping Claire Doran, the Cleve
land school teacher by three
strokes. It was the Babe's first
serious tournament effort since
she won the all-American open
at Chicago last summer, for she
has played exhibitions and ful
filled public appearance dates in
Florida all winter.
"I knew I had to get back in
to competitive golf to get my
game back," she grinned. "I'm
going to hit $3,000 tournaments
in California, Chicago, Cleve
land and New York and try
for that $5,000 they're giving
for the best 144-hole score."
