SBOftKS MIKE JACOBS IN EFFORT TO CLEAR T Matching of Beau Jack with Sammy Angott In March Expected to Prove Champ Br Paul Scheffals United Press staff correspondent New York, Jan. H. U.f Promoter Mike Jacgos took the first decisive step to clarity me muddled lightweight situation oHv bv announcing that ha would match Beau Jack of Au gusta, Ga., against Sammy An gott of Washington, Pa., In March and thus provide boxing with an undisputed 135-pound champion. At present, the lightweight di vision Is more confused than the plot of a dime mystery boast ing two champions, several con tenders of note and an ex-champion, who retired recently, but has since returned to the ring. Round Robin Dropped Jacobs, discouraged by the kaleidoscopic cut of the setup, completely abandoned plans for the round-robin boxing program which was to provide a suitable opponent for Jack, who Is recog nized as champion by the New York commission and top-ranking contender by the National Boxing association. Angott's sudden decision to return to competition after giv ing up the title only last Novem ber and other developments took all the zing out of the tourney anyway. Sammy said his hands, original reason for his retire ment, had healed and he was "rarin to go." The tourney opened dismally last Friday when Bob Montgom ery won an unimpressive victory over Chester Rico and then stal led completely when the Phlla delphian said an Injured hand would prevent him from fight ing Joey Peralta of Tamapua, Pa., in the second-round card Friday night at Madison Square Garden. , Complications Meanwhile, Slugger White, the other champion recognized by the Maryland commission does not choose to fight in New York; Cleo Shans plana to box as a featherweight; Willie Joyce, Chicago contender, has been de cisively beaten by White, and Maxia Shapiro of New York is 111. Combined with Montgomery's showing and Angott's return, these complications led Jacobs to substitute two co-feature 10 rounders for the proposed tour nament elimination Friday. They wiU pair Peralta and Chalky Wright, former featherweight ruler, and -Sgt. Jackie Wilson, California welterweight, against Jake Lamotta of New York. Jack was scheduled to fight Henry Armstrong, former triple champion, on Feb. IS but a ton sillectomy has put Hammering Henry temporarily out of the picture and that bout might be lost In the shuffle.

He Is a soft-spoken, hard-playing vet eran, who has been the summer-time Idol of Brooklyn bleacherites and front - office orphan under Larry MacPhall. Badly Trested It was no secret to either fans or players that there was little love lost between MacPhall and Walker. Veteran of 11 years of major league competition, Dixie was bought by Larry In despera tion and although he was one of the team's most consistently ez fective performers, he was treated like a poor relation. MacPhall tossed batting and fielding averages out the win dow, never considered him a good player and probably still doesn't. But the rich baseball heritage and varied talents as an out fielder and a hitter that stamped Walker throughout his big league career as big-time kept his wide smile Just as wide and his soft voice Just as soft and boosted his batting average to one of the best on the club. Consistent Hitter In his four years with Brook lyn he has been a big factor In the club's rise. He batter over .300 twice notching .308 In 1940 and .311 the following year and although he fell to .280 lost season, he banged out 114 hits In 118 gsmes and was third on the club In runs baltea in. with 84. He was bettered only by Dolph Camllll and Pete Reiser. It seemed Impossible that a nlaver who had overcome a career studded with hard luck and Injuries to become a valu able asset to a pennant-hungry club should be shunted aside and benched frequently but that Is what happened. Perhaps the hard luck made him Immune to executive Idiosyncrasies be cause he Just absorbed every rap, pulled in his belt, stuck out his chin and kept swinging. Now employed at the Sperry Gyroscope plant as director of recreation, walker is not par ticularly worried about his base ball future, "Right now I'm thinking about what we can do for the boys In the service when the season comes around," he said "I ve got plenty to occupy me in this Job and as for baseball, well, maybe somebody else will take care of that for me they always have.

The council, basing Its recom mendations on survey of author ities in all state capitals and many key cities, Issued Its state ment as a guide to legislatures, many of which will convene their 1843 sessions this month. State and local governments can help expedite victory through their services and fiscal policies, the council said, and thus help make effective the na tional program of economic sta bilization. The federal government neces sarily is charged with prosecu tion of the war in the field and in the production line, said the council's statement, but success can be promoted and attendant economic difficulties can be mitigated by harmonious state and local action. The council recommended that: 1 State and local govern ments give priority to activities which best promote war work, postpone operations not essen tial to the war effort and con serve manpower and materials, 2 Maintain institutions and service essential to the American way of life and upon which de pends our ability to win the war a.id survive thereafter. 3 State and local revenues In , excess of immediate needs be used to help prevent infla tion and lighten financial diffi- Icultles of the post-war period. xne council saia me leaerai government should have due re gard for problems of the state and local governments. "Just as the state governments and the subdivisions are called upon to cooperate In Imple menting the war program of the federal governments, so should the federal jovernment endeav or through Its policies and pro Crams to minimize difficulties created for them," the council said. 'Functions and burdens here tofore assumed by the federal government should not be trans ferred to the states simply to re lieve me icoerai Dudget, nor should customary assistance be withdrawn without opportunity given xo maxe necessary finan cial changes. , "When the war emergency passes, the federal government should manage to return to a peace economy In a manner that will not unduly shock the econ omic system and will avoid cast ing upon stah and local agen cles burdens greater than they can assume." The council suggested that the following kinds of lculslation are needed: 1 Both federal and ti. l.o islation to coordinate the admin istration of taxes; 2 State legislation authnrl?. lng plans to the post-war period: 3 State legislation in llsh a public works reserva fnr each state government; State legisla.ion to permit local governments to establish public works reserves; 8 State legislation permit ting investment of state and lo cal surpluses In war bonds or other suitable securities.
