a.-- --. ? px .J Sports .t- v-j Briefs i.esa. Bf . iK ,.,yf' Hu"h , ' Fullerlon. Jr. . NEW . YORK, Jan. 28 VP) The business of covering the New York baseball "beat" starts bout 2 p. m In Eddie Bran nick's office and usually winds up several hours later four blocks down 42nd street in the hotel where the writers are re hearsing the show for their din ner next month . . . The scribes drift into the Giants' headquart ers, make themselves comfort able, toss out routine queries whether there's any news and then discuss anything from base ball to Bizerte ... In ordinary years there'd be a daily an nouncement that Joe Sorearm had signed his contract and promised to win 20 games, but this season the Giants are the only club that has mailed out contracts, because of uncertain ties about salary regulations . . . They haven't reported any re plies, but Brannick doesn't think its funny when someone asks if the Giants are the only club with a holdout problem. , Occasionally someone has an idea and springs a question about the ball club, and if the discussions aren't too noisy he can hear the answer . . . The two phones on Brannick's desk buzz at intervals and between calls someone uses one to call Brooklyn to see if the Dodgers have any news. They usually don't, reserving their best tid bits for Branch Rickey's weekly press conferences ... Eventually' someone asks "go ing across the street?" and the group departs for the Yankee offices'. . . The chairs aren't padded in the square office where drum-beater Jack Slocum holds forth and two big leather ' settees are beginning to show their age ... Slocum gives out routine announcement, such as yesterday's news that the bat terymen. will begin training be fore the rest of the squad, but if there's any important information,- President Ed Barrow does the thinking for the club . . . Eventually the crowd winds up in Barrow's sanctum anyway while Ed makes pungent replies to questions . . . "Was it your idea or Joe McCarthy's to have the pitchers come in early?" he is asked . . . "I'm not manager of this club," sputters Barrow ... "I thought of it and called McCarthy and he agreed. Andy -Coakley, the veteran Columbia coach, is visiting around and stops to air some views on training in the north . . . He's been doing it long enough thai he ought to know something on the subject Andy is opposed to heavy gymn work but. he favors running "or anything for the legs" and sug gests that swinging light Indian clubs is a help to pitchers . . . "I don't know just how good that is," he admits, "but I did it one winter and the next spring I had a fast ball I never had be fore. I have a boy at Columbia now" who will really work at that kind of stuff and I'm go ing to see what happens." , Eventually this confab breaks up, too, as the scribes head for their offices to write what news they've collected ... It takes a lot of time for what you get But, after all, what's time when there's no news anyway?, ...

Northern Cagers Open Big Weekend; Huskies to Meet Oregon, Beavers vs. Idaho By Tha Associated Press Northern division basketball will head into its fullest week end schedule to date tomorrow night, with a controversy over playing tactics to add a dash of spice to the competition. v Oregon will travel to Seattle for a Friday-Saturday night re venge series against Washing ton's Huskies, who nosed out the Webfoots twice last week at Eu gene, to take over the division lead. On the same nights, the strong Oregon State quintet, de fending champion, . will play Idaho at Moscow. Should Washington falter against Oregon, the OSC Beavers would have a good chance to take over the division lead by sweeping its series with the thrice-beaten Idahoans. Oregon State will be weakened, how ever, by the loss of its veteran ace, Don Durdan, who is con fined with chicken pox at Cor- Americans Baseballs League Proxy Gets Letter Of Thanks for Baseball Gift to Pacific Forces CHICAGO, Jan. 28 (iT) Americans are battling with baseballs as well as bullets in the Pacific. To the offices of Will Har ridge, president of the Amer ican league came a letter from Elmer W. Heindl, a chaplain with the armed forces "some where on a Pacific island." It said, in part: "We have received the three dozen baseballs, sent to us by Harrv rjrahinpr. vice president of the Chicago White Sox, at your request, and were very happy to get them. The primary issue of baseballs from the gov ernment was exhausted. ... "Baseball ... is one of the strongest bonds that we have here in foreign service to tie us with home. As you know, we never feel more liKe Americans than when batting the old ball around "The men all agree that one of our anticipated pleasures, in the near future, will be to root again and again in the stadiums back home for our favorite teams." 1 Harridge called the letter and similar ones he had received '.'one of the best reasons I can give for keeping big league base ball rolling during this war."

The team physician ruled yesterday that he wouldn't be able to play in the Washington State scries Monday and Tues day, either. The controversy over the legality of playing tactics bob bed out of the Oregon-Washington opening scries and will come back to roost in the university pavilion as Oregon and Wash ington wind up their competition against each other as the season is just getting well under way. Coach Hec Edmundson of Wash ington has asked Rich Fox, the northern division basketball commissioner, for a ruling on the backboard play of Roger Wiley, Oregon's 6 foot 7 Inch freshman from Bremerton. Edmundson expressed the be lief . that Wiley capitalized on his altitude to illegally bat the ball away after it was over the basket. Coach Howard Hobson responded with a long distance Willie Pep Leery About Allie Who Can Read. Write By SID FEDER NEW YORK, Jan. 28 (VP) It is neither polite nor true to say Allie Stolz is a mental case, be cause everyone knows Allie can read and write and operate his mental machinery with the best of 'em. As a matter of fact, Willie Pep, with whom Allie collides in Madison Square Garden tomor row night, admits that the one thing he's a little leery about is that Allie is "one of those smart fellas, and I'd rather fight a slugger who doesn't know too much than one of those smart guys." But it is obvious that as Stolz nears his punch party with the New York version of the world featherweight champion, the wise guys want to know much Services to Make Up All Sport Teams CHICAGO, Jan. 28 (P) "If the war lasts another year, this date in 1944 will see .the major leagues in all sports composed of service teams," predicts Lieut, Jim McMillen. McMillen, a former college and pro grid team, professional wrestler, vice president of the Chicago Bears and now athletic officer at Chicago's navy pier, added: "By this time next year, col lege and professional rosters will have been depleted to such an extent that I see no likelihood of those , teams being able to operate. Then we in the athletic end of combat training will be faced with the obligation of help ing maintain morale among ci vilians, especially war workers, by supplying their competitive sports attractions."

A ruling from Rich is expected on the point before the teams take the floor tomorrow night. Meanwhile, Coach Edmund son indicated a freshman and sophomore might break into Washington's 10-man squad for the Oregon series. Ho looked favorably on the play of Dale Gronsdale, Spokane sophomore, and Perry Nelson Seattle fresh man.

For there's no doubt the curly- haired Newark stylist is one of thoso. "think" fighters, whose performances in the ring depend on just how tncy feel "inside their heads on any given eve ning. Jack Sharkey was one, so was Max Baer. Depending on their mental attitude, this va riety of wallopers can take tanks apart one night. And the next night, they might just as well have "stood in bed." Well, it's a pleasure to report that for Friday's fuss in Madi son Square Garden, Allie is thinking pretty good, thank you. For no one realizes better than Stolz that in taking on the pack age of pep from Connecticut in this non-title ten-rounder, he is on a spot no bigger than a dime, and there's a choice location waiting for him behind the eight ball. Either Allie does it this time, or his hopes of ever land ing the lightweight champion ship are worth a dime a dozen on the hoof.

"This guy weighed 215 pounds, and was the idol of all the natives.- Everyone wanted Barney (former welter, junior welter and lightweight titlist), to fight him, but Ross didn't care for the idea. The prestige of the marines was at stake, however, and the match was finally made. ' "They used 16-ounce gloves', but Barney had the Samoan on the deck 11 times before putting him away in the sixth round.

Certainly they had the right handed pitchers an entire starting staff as result of the cash deal and there was every Indication that it would be strictly righthanders the Cubs would rely on In their 1043 title bid. Any southpaw regular must be developed from this year's recruits. Last year's lefties, Vern Olsen, Johnny Schmitz and Russ Mecrs, have entered military service.' The 36-year-old Derringer, who has spent 12 years In the majors the last 10 with Cin cinnati will team up with such likely rlghthand starters os Claude Passeau, Bill Lee, Lon Warnckc, Les Fleming, Tot Pressnoll and possibly Dick Bar rett, 34-year-old veteran of the minors obtained from Seattle. In announcing the purchase yesterday, James Gallagher, general manager, said, "We be lieve we have a chance to go places this season and we need ed another pitcher." Tho pur chase price was hot' disclosed, but some sources put it at f 15, 000. Derringer, although bothered by an old Injury, appeared in 20 games last season, winning 10, losing 11 and finishing with an earned run average of 3.08. Before the transaction was com pleted Manager Jimmy Wilson, a former Cincinnati teammate of Derringer's, said he was con vinced the veteran would turn out high class work for at least another season. Derringer himself recently asked to be traded or sold and the Red management agreed he had been In one place long enough. Derringer Indicated a preference for the Cubs and that was all right with the Cubs.

They have beaten California twlco. They smotherod Stanford once, and last week they beat back tha valiant challenge of UCLA's Bruins, who have dropped '41 straight gomes to tho Trojans In tho last 11 ycurs. The Trojans have maintained a fast scoring pace against some excellent guarding. Observors think the reason tor this Is that Gene Rock, southpaw forward, and his starboard running mate, Alex Omalev, both shoot going away trom the basket. "It's pretty hard to handle a couple ot hot shots like those boys. They have mustered the seem ingly hard way to score." Rock Is five foot, nine inches. Omalev, from Detroit, is six ono, as Is Seminoff, and Guard Ernie McGill, from Frankfort, lnd is five eleven. Ted Gotl ) sard, the captain and guard," rates as ono ot the Trojans' all timo greats. Defensively he has no peers In the conference, and ho Is a great shot and an in spirational leader. Me Is six two, tho tallest man on the team. If they win their division championship the Trojans prob ably will race Washington or Oregon State from the northern division. If they win up north they will go to Kansas City for the zone playoffs to decide the national championship, which will be settled in New York City late In March.
