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. Jack. Jacobs
said, will meet Fritzle Zlvic of!eve men In the South Pacific.

Dixie Walker's Future Brightens
As Rickey Becomes Dodger Chief
Br Jsck Cuddy
United Press Staff Correspondent
New York, Jan. 11 U.PJ Baseball in Brooklyn may be
revolutionized by the ascendancy of Branch Rickey to presi
dency of the Dodgers, but to one player Fred (Dixie) Walker
the future must at long last loom particularly bright
Any discussion of mob psy
etiology in baseball must center
around Dodger fans as a whole
and Dixie in Darticular. 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.

URGES STATES TO
HELP IN WAR BY
FISCALPOLICIES
Economic Shock Post war
Period Would Be Cush
ioned; Survey Shows Need
By Edward Ellis
United Press Correspondent
Chicr go 0J.PJ The Council of
State Governments has issued a
blueprint of wartime fiscal pol
icies for state and local govern
ments recommending that they
prepare now to help cushion the
economic shock of the post-war
period.
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.
