ITTER BATTLE
U
GRID, BASEBALL
New York. Dec. 14 AI.R) A
battle royal appeared to be In
the making today oetween pro
fessional football and major
league baseball unless the latter
curtails its season.
The fight started yesterday
when the maior leagues at their
joint winter meeting voted to bar
football from thier parks umu
the home baseball season has
been completed. For the most
part, It leaves the national foot
ball league teams without sta
diums for their early season
games.
The only solution appeared to
be for a shorter baseball season
something which probably will
come up for discussion when the
major leagues next meet in reu-
ruary. But wnue were is con
siderable sentiment for a shorter
season outside of baseball circles,
there is very little, If any, among
the men who own ana run tne
game.
It may develop that baseball
men cut their own Incomes when
they voted as they did. For pro
football has become big business
and the money which It turned
over in rentals 'for ball parks
means considerable to the base
ball clubs involved. .

son. 148. Los Angeles, and Fred

Referee Blllle Burkie last
night called scheduled 10-
round bout between tne two
fighters a "no contest" In the
sixth round and said that Hud
who is managed by three-
time tltleholder Henry Arm
strong, was trying to throw the
fight. Although both purses
will be held, Burke saia ne
would recommend that Dixon
receive his money. .
After both fighters were
warned at the end of the fifth
round that they were not fight
ing well, Hudson went down for
a no-count early In the sixth
from left to the Jaw. He arose
and was again knocked down by
a right to the Jow. Burke re

manager who witnessed tne
bout, said he was convinced
that Hudson attempted to lose
the tight and that he would rec
ommend that Armstrong give
up Hudson's contract.

MAIN EVENT CARD
"Goreoeous" George Wagner,
who has his collection of beauti
ful ring robes insured for $5000,
will return to Medford Armory
tonight to mix with Jack Kiser,
coast champion, In one half of
the double main event. Wagner
has been seeking a title go with
Kiser, in an attempt to regain
laurels he lost to Paavo Kato-
nen, and will be In position to
demand a shot at the crown If
he can get past the clever Van
couver grappler. Kiser took the
title from Katonen several
months ago.
Gust Johnson, holder of the
coast 'junior-heavy belt, will
meet Terrible Tony Ross In the
other half of the double offer
ing. This bout borders on grudge
proportions because of Ross
one-fall win over Johnson last
week after Johnson had already
beaten one opponent. Johnson
was eager for the return go in
an effort to even the score and
Ross was just as willing to show
his victory was not the cause of
Johnson's having already taken
part in one match.
The three round opener, prom
ises to consist of plenty of skill
and legal maneuvers when Herb
Parks and Milt Olson collide.
They go to ' the mat at 8:30
promptly.

HASTY WARTIME
MARRIAGES' ARE
DOOMED FAILURE
Boston. Dec. 14 The
hasty wartime marriage is like
ly to be a failure, a majority of
10 "golden wedding" couples
whose married lives span three
wars and total 836 years agreed
today.
In a poll conducted by tne
United Press, these New Eng
land couples who have been
wed more than half a century
voiced these views: .
There's no need to hurry and
become a war bride because
there'll be plenty of men avail
able after the war.
The courtship should last
from two to three years.
The best age for a girl to
marry is 23.
The best age for a man to
wed Is 26.
The way to a man's heart la
very definitely through his
stomach.
There's no truth to the adage
"the first hundred years are
the hardest."
If they .need the advice of
these oldsters, girls who want
a happy home will don their
aprons and get out their cook
books as soon as the honey
moon Is over. They'll establish
a home of their own, have chil
dren, "share responsibility un
selfishly and make the neces
sary adjustments pleasantly."
Above all, the oldsters advise,
don't give your husband the
idea that "you think you're per
fect"
GEM STILWELX PLEA
