Working Agreements Seen In Big-Time Boxing Set-up New York, Jan. 24 (U.R) A I long-sought working agreement between the National Boxing As sociation and the New York commission will be signed soon, President Abe J. Greene of the N.B.A. intimated last night at the annual boxing writers' din ner. Greene of Faterson, N. J., said that several recent conferences with Chairman Eddie Eagan of the New York commission were so successful that they pointed toward "an important announce ment" soon. Under questioning later, Greene admitted that he had been referring to a working agreement the first ever to be made between the two organiza tions. He explained that state statutes prevented the New York commission from becoming a member of the N.B.A.; but that the two organizations would be able to co-operate "in every re spect" through an official work ing agreement. An important result of such an agreement, he emphasized, would be the prevention of. title, disputes and dual "champions" In any division. He added, "The matching of Bob Montgomery and Ike Williams to clear up the lightweight title dispute at Mad ison Square Garden on March 22 did not come about by chance. And the present negotiations for a fight between Willie Pep and Sal Bartolo to clear up the title split in the featherweight divi aion are not the result of an ac cident either." Football Coach Asks For Job At Women's College Denver, Jan. 24 (U.R) The students at MacMurray Col lege, Jacksonville, 111,, were In tissie today. Handsome Larry (Dutch) Schults, 200-pound former AH American end at Centre Col lage, admitted rather shame facedly that he had applied for a coaching job at Mae Murray. The football star, now sta tioned at Lowry Field and waiting discharge from the army, said he had just found out that MacMurray was a girls' school. BY New York, Jan. 24 U.R) The latest riddle in the metropolitan baseball scene today was "Did the Brooklyn Dodgers buy an other negro baseball player or didn't they?" Branch Rickey, Jr., head of the Dodger farm enterprises said that the player in question, Roy Partlow, a negro pitcher from Ponce, P. R., had been in and out of the Brooklyn offices but that he was just an interested onlooker who might go south to spring training in Florida for a tryout. But in Puerto Rico, the news paper El Dia at Ponce said it had learned that Partlow, who has been in the United States for about two weeks, definitely had signed a Dodger contract and that he had exhibited it to sev eral people. Partlow, according to the newspaper, indicated that he would be farmed out to Mon treal to play with Jackie Robin son, negro infielder, who was purchased last fall from the Kan sas City Monarchs of the Negro National league. Rickey said that "Insofar as I know, Partlow has not been signed to a Brooklyn contract and that would include all of our farm clubs." BOWLING In Commercial league last night Pepsi Cola took one game and total pins for two points while Fluhrer Bakery took two games for two points (Bower 527-Eads 550). Daniels-Robinson took two games and total pins for three points from 3ilver Dol lar Grill (Shantol 551-Whelan 505), Henry's Drive-In took two games and total points from Litt rell Parts (Swanson 505-Guin-otte 443), and Montgomery Ward made a clean sweep to take four points from Firestone (Timm 609-Orndoff 472). 10 LOOP CLASH With another big weekend of basketball on their schedule, the Medford high school Black Tornado Is pointing to their Southern Oregon conference clash with Ashland on the Grizzly floor tomorrow night. It will be the third league clash, without a defeat, for the Red and Black. Grants Pass and Klamath Falls have fallen be fore the onslaught of the Tor nado In other loop skirmishes. It will be the farewell con ference appearance for little Glenn Bostwick who is due to graduate this semester. Ashland's basketball record is not too bright this season, largely because the Grizzlies got off to a slow start. Ham pered by flu, they played for nearly a month with from one to seven of their first ten men ill in bed. But they are expect ed to be at full strength for the Medford clash which is the first of a four-game series between the bitter rivals. With the game with Oregon Frosh here Saturday night not to be forgotten in the heat of preparations for the Ashland tiff, Coach Al Simpson drilled his club hard last night and after a 35 minute scrimmage, said they would be ready to go full tilt for both games. Jerry Ross' infected throat has not re sponded too well to treatment bue he is expected to see some service in both games, Simpson said. Plans for Simpson's starting linuo remain unchanged today and likely will see Bill Singler and Bob Watson at lorwaras. Darrell Riggs at center and Jim Cave and Bostwick at guards.

Jan. 24, 194B MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUHE CTVH The old saying that gentlemen prefer blondes took quite a kick ing around at Medford armory last night when Clara Morten son, world women's champion, took two out of three falls from Rita Martinez in the special event of the weekly wrestling card. Clara, the blond, was very un- lady-like as she pulled hair, slapped, slugged and bit her fiery Utile opponent to come up with the first fall in nine min utes with a body press after tos sing Miss Martinez around the ring by the hair. Disposition Ired Rita's Mexican disposition was well worked up and she used just one minute to even the falls with a body press. She slammed the champ from post to post be fore falling on her in the middle of the ring. Clara, amid lusty boos from the over-capacity crowd, complained loudly to Referee Wally Moss that her shoulders were not pinned and acted like she was going to "climb his frame" for a minute but the arbiter grinned and walked away. After a wild exchange of fists and a few wrestling holds, Rita had Clara backed up into a cor ner where Moss tried to separate them. The champ pushed Rita backwards over the referee and fell on her for the winning fall. Time was five minutes. Signs Autographs Miss Martinez was swarmed by autograph hunters as she started to leave the ring and held up the main event about 15 minutes while she signed auto graph books, sheets of paper and almost anything her fans could get her to sign. Joe Lynam, coast junior heavyweight champion, gave Jack (Buck) Lipscomb a thor ough going over to win the main event by two straight falls. The first came on a foul when Lips comb refused to release a hold and th. second came via a body stretch. Lynam was so ired by Lipscomb's dirty tactics that Moss had great difficulty stop ping him when the match was over. 1,000 Turned Away Leo Mortenson didn't fair as well as his sister when he dropped his match to Pete Bel castro. Mortenson took the first fall but Belcastro's surfboard In the third round left him in no shape to come back for the last spill. Herb Parks, Canadian cham pion, bested Bulldog Jackson two out of three falls In the opener. An estimated 1,000 people were turned away from the up town ticket office and the. arena because of lack of seats. VOTE-GETTERS IN STAR SELECTIONS St. Louis.
