Ho Baseball Men Frozen InVarJobs War Manpower Commission Say Voluntary Labor Plan Won't Deter Players Return WASHINGTON, Jan. 9 (At Press officials of the war man power commission said today that under voluntary labor sta. bilization plans being placed in effect throughout the nation there is nothing to prevent pro fessional baseball players from giving up war industry jobs to return to their ball clubs. Baseball players, spokesmen who desired to go unnamed, ex plained they do not need cer tificates from United States em ployment service offices nor any other WMC approval to leave war jobs to play baseball. The job . stabilization agree ments, which are expected to be li) effect within three months in each community with over 50,000 population, generally deal with voluntary agreements by war industries among them selves to stop transfers of work ers. Other employers in non-essential industry in the areas are requested to abide by the agree ments. The spokesmen emphasized that WMC has no authority to compel baseball players to re main on war jobs, and added it was not presently planned to object to players rejoining their clubs unless the war industry employer protests the transfer. Then WMC could try to per suade the player to stick to war work. ' Under the procedure, any draft deferment granted a base ball player solely because he was engaged in war work would be forfeited if he gave up his job,, the spokesmen said, but any deferment status on other grounds, ' such as dependency, would not be affected. PORTLANP, Ore., Jan. 9 (IP) William. H. Klepper, business manager of the Portland Beav ers, said today he didn't see any thing in the present situation to justify the prediction of Curlee Graham, president of the San Francisco Seals, - that coast league ball be scrapped this year. . "It's much 'too early for the funeral services," Klepper said, "and our plans for 1943 base ball will go ahead until the gov ernment says no." Oregon Frosh to .

What Goes On? Angott Fights Back Sammy Angott, Lightweight Champ, Stages Comeback After Abdicating Throne By SID FEDER . NEW YORK, Jan. 9 "(At It was "hold your hats, boys, here we go again" in the lightweight's laugh-a-minute show today. With the Ink barely dry on the' championship abdication papers he signed only, three months ago, Sammy Angott an nounced his fistic comeback. This was a bit of news that not only topped Bob Montgomery's seven-round technical knockout of Chester Rico last night in one of the lightweight "elimina tions" in Madison Square Gar den, but also tossed the whole 135-pound merry-go-round deep er into a maze. Champion Sammy spoke his piece from, his home in Little Washington, Pa., explaining that the badly injured hands which caused him to retire "for keeps" last fall "have healed again." It was nice of Sammy to ad mit that he didn't expect to be handed his title back again, now that he's decided he can ' fight once more in fact, Angott added that he's "willing to start all over again." However, the Na tional Boxing association as yet hasn't recognized any champion to succeed him at the head of the parade, and won't until the completion of a nation-wide tournament. - The New York state athletic commission already has given its blessing to Beau Jack, with the stipulation that the : little brown Georgia firecracker must make his first "defense" against a tournament winner. Bowling Commercial league bowlers Tuesday night started the new year with some good scores. Or res Tailors posted high single game of 1061 and high three game series with 2932 which is also high in both events of the season.

Gen. Robert Olds today as director of a new physical fit ness program for the entire com mand. The commanding general said Reese would divide the Second Air Force into five districts, with area supervisors for each and with local supervisors for the individual fields and bases. Plans call for six hours of ath letic conditioning per week, four of these at strenuous types of exercise. For the older officers and men there will be lighter training, more on the recreation al side, said Captain Reese. There will be a separate pro gram for the men who do the actual flying one dealing with the development of shoulder, stomach and leg muscles the captain said.
