An eyebrow or two vas raised and, at this, Jackie insisted: "Well, sentiment does crop up occasionally in the ring. "Not too often, mind you, but take the case for instance, of me and Joe Salaa from Los Angeles. "We were raised together and used to spar around the gyms as amateurs, beginning about 1021 What we had belonged to each other, dance tickets, a buck or two, soda waters and that sort of thing." Both were of the same weight and Salas was good he'd never lost a fight. Jackie says he was just so-so. But both were picked for the U. S. Olympic boxing team In 1924, Jackie as alternate. Then, truth being stranger than fiction, the two found them. selves matched in the final battle for the Olympic crown. "It was a pretty even first heat," Fields recalled. "But In the second I opened his left eye. It was bleeding plenty. "Even in the Olympics, should have made that eye my target. But I didn't. Something held me back. Somehow I re membered I was fighting my old boyhood chum. "At the end of the third round, it was my hand that was raised over the bleeding Salas. "Now, I'd like to tell you we threw our arms around each oth er and became old pals again, That s how It would be in book. But it didn't happen that way. No sir, I don't think we ever spoke a word to each other again. "So I can understand how Robinson must have felt when he turned down the Armstrong match. It was an honest thing for him to do."

TRUCKS FOR RENT You Drive Move Yourself Sava H Long and Short Trips STILES' BEACON SERVICE Phono 8304 1201 East Main Globe Trotting Hoopmen Stage Fun Tilt for Win All Stars Lose 37-23, Stage Football, Baseball, Track Show The Harlem Globe Trotters staged a basketball game, a foot ball game, and did a lot of fancy high jumping on the basketball court at the high school, and incidentally defeated the Klamath All Stars by a score of 37-23, in one of the funniest exhibitions of black magic tossed on the local floor. Phil Blohm made two points for the All Stars as the horn ended the game by tossing the egg through the hoop where it was promptly poked out from the bottom by high jumping black Tatum of the Globe Trotters. The basket scored anyway. The All Stars opened the game in a meritorious fashion by making the first score, but they- fell behind in the remainder of the quarter which ended 6-10. To give the boys a breather, the All Stars substituted an en tire team in the second quarter, but they made no points, while the Globe Trotters whipped in 17 more tallies to end the half at 27-6. The city team was hope lessly outclassed by the tall, smooth-working Harlemites. In the third quarter, the local boys tossed In eleven points and held the colored men to only six tallies, but in the last quarter the negroes showed their su perior brand of ball by obvious ly playing fun with the All Stars. They put on a baseball game In the middle of the floor, using a piece of paper for a bat, until whistle-tooter Ramsey tooted them out for holding the ball. Thereupon they played a T for mation football game under the All-Star basket. They rolled the ball on the floor, fancy hi-jump-ed and passed circles around the local men, still handling the pill so well the All Stars never got a good opportunity to make points. It was a fine exhibition of ball-handling, and the game ended 37-23 for the Globe Trot ters. ' ' In contrast to the fun-making main event, the preliminary tilt was a close, hard-fought, earnest game of real basketball. The Victory league Baptists finally eked out a second overtime win with a 29-27 score over the Guerillas. The game ended tied at 23-25. In the first five-minute over time period, Frank Michaelson of the Baptists and Jess House of the Guerrillas made two points each to tie the game again at 27-all. In the second overtime period where the first basket wins Michaelson dropped the ball through the ring for a Baptist victory. Summaries: All Stars (23) (37) Globe Trotters Vaillancour ...

Dance ANNUAL Fireman's Ball Malln Sat., Jan. 23 Broadway Hall Music By Pappy Gordon's "Hillbillies" Tickets. $1.10 Couple , Dancing 9:00-3:00 May Be Late Baseball Sees Wacky Year Ahead; Managers Condon Lata Appearance far Start By JUDSON BAILEY NEW YORK, Jan. 19 VP) Holdouts may go out of fashion in baseball this year, but just as a rose by any other name is, etc., a lot ot the major league stars will be sure to be late reporting at spring training camps. It is going to be a wacky sea son from start to finish and one of the strange slants is that man agers not only will condone training tardiness for some ot their players, they will recom mend it. This is because many ball play ers make their winter homes in sunny climes, particularly Flor ida and California, and cpn get in shape better at home than by hastening to northern training camps. Paul Waner, veteran outfield er of the Boston Braves, is in this class, in fact, he probably will be at the head of the class. Big Poison, who will be 40 April 16, lives at Sarasota, Fla., and it would take a convoy to get him to Wallington, Conn.; the Braves' training base, in the middle of March. Waner may work with John Cooney, 41-year-old teammate, who also lives at Sarasota. Paul Derringer, 36-year-old dean of the Cincinnati Reds' pitchers, is another member ot Sarastao's baseball colony and a likely late arrival when the Reds begin work at Blooming ton, Ind. Bill Dickey, . catcher for tne New York Yankees, lives at Lit tle Rock, Ark., and in recent years has been in no hurry to get to Florida, so obviously isn't going to lead the way lmo As bury park this spring. It's a cinch that Carl Hubbell can take his own time leaving his home at Oklahoma City to join the New York Giants at Lakewood, ti. J, too. Jack Callura New Feather Weight King By SID FEDER ; ; PROVIDENCE,: R. I., Jan. -19 VP) A lot of folks will teU you today that Jackie Callura is the new head man -ot the featherweights: at least part of 'em but the champ is really your old Uncle Samuel. There's no doubt that the little belting bull from Canada climbed all over Pittsburgh Jackie Wilson to take the Na tional Boxing association's por tion of the 126-pound crown in the Providence arena last night, but now he has to wait on your old uncle's say-so before he's going to be able to find out what he can do with It. For, Uncle Sam already has the finger on Wilson, who has been guaranteed first shot at Callura s crown, and he also has his eagle eye on Willie Pep, the whizz-bang from Connecticut, who has the title blessing of tne New York State Athletic com mission. Callura last night not only won, but was the boss of tha show from start to finish, ex cept for a short stretch from the third through the seventh sessions, when the Pittsburgh negro out-boxed him.
