Chicago Cuba, pennant winners In
tnS. will be the betting fnvorltei to
repeat In the coming campaign.
He ratea the high priced Boston
Red Box second In the American
league, thla calculation being baaed
on the premise that the Boat on teem
lack the pitching power to beat out
Mickey Cochrane and hie boys. He
erpeote the Yanks to add hew
strength to their team through pur
chases or traclea but eaya that In any
event they will give Boston a rub for
aecond place.
Doyle aay a he won't name the odds
on the respective teams until a (lor

expect the peraounel of the teams
will be changed before that time.

we've had nearly every Los Angelas
drawing card appearing on local bills,
Including Dude Chick, Shlnuohl Shl
kuma, Ken Hoi Us, Tiger Taskoff,
Frnnkle Peck and Wayne Long, and
now comes Oeorge "Wildcat" Wilson,
probably the most colorful wrestler
in the game, and Ted Christy, who la
so tough that he haa been barred

You get a pretty fair Idea of how

from time to time, but to date he has
kept his record Intact in Medford.
He has ahown some surprising luck
in doing so, both against Chick and
Long, but he can't keep that up for
ever. Dome people, like us, wonder how
oome the big time wrestlers will con
descend to appear here at all. Surely
they can't make the coin they make

The same thing holds true in the

don't like to see the same wrestler
every time for two months, no matter
how good that wrestler may be, any
more than you do. So the big shots
wrestle In Los Angeles, Hollywood,
Oakland and San Francisco for a
time, and then take to the road. They
are all under a booking office that
guarantees to keep them In matches.
So If they make $2.10 In one

of laying around for six weeks
before they appear ngaln. they
hit out for the smnlier circuits

While Joe Louis Is not yet heavy

' 1818- Mollneaux waa the first Amer
j lean ever to fight for the world title,
j which Is what his battle with CYlbb
I was. There are two outstanding
! negroes who did battle for thla coun-
try over a hundred years ago.
Mollneaux should have taken that
fight, after giving Crlbb a terrible
! beating for 30 rounds. At the opening
j of the 31st, Mollneaux rushed Crlbb
and knocked him kicking with a
rlht hand punch. In scampering
out of Crlbb's way he lost his bal
ance, lunged, and fell Into a ring post
knocking himself out. They re
vived the two battlers for the 83 nd
and the two wobbled through the
round. In the 33rd Crlbb summoned
a last ounce of enegry, hit the negro
once, and the fight waa over. To
those who feel that colored gents
can't take It, It was discovered later
that Mollneau had fractured his
skull when he hit the post.
AIL POSTAL WORKERS
10 GET CLEAN SLATE
WASHINGTON. Feb. 13. (AP)
The post of flee department said to
day it planned to wipe off all "de
merits" against postal employees
and start afresh on a new system
to "give the man a break.'
Postal officials aald the new sys
tem is aimed at:
"Eliminating the human element
In rating postal employee.
"Otvlng the man a chance to
wipe out his demerits with merits.
"Separating the demerit from the
efficiency rating, so that one or
two 'unfortunate Incidents' will not
ruin a man's efficiency record."
Postmasters were recently ordered
to cancel all demerits as of March
31, and start with the new merit
demerit system.
Under the old system, each de
merit was cancelled at the end of
13 month after being covered Into
the employee efficiency rating.
Under that system, a man having
BOO demerlta in a year was subject
to a reducMon In pay. A man hav
ing 700 demerlta in a year might
be removed.
Under the new system, the de
merits will be kept separate from
a man's efficiency rating, and the
man will be given an opportunity
to offset with merits, atartlng anew
at the beginning of every fiscal
year.
