Mack Wants

Star Teams
' Let's Hove All Star Teams
Selected Every Ton Years,
Say Baioboll's Granpappy
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 6 W
Connie Mack called upon the na
tlon's sportswritci last night to
end what ho termed ceaseless
discussion about all-time ail-star
baseball teams by selecting an
all-star array every' 10 to 15
years.
He made the' suggestion at a
testimonial".' dinner- held in the
Bellevue-Stratford hotrl in lion
or of his 80th birthday. Baseball
magnates, high public . officials,
players, umpires and plain
blcachorltcs were among the 861
who turned out to pay homage
to the tall, lean leader of the
Athletics.
"You hear quite a bit of talk
about Bll-star teams," declared
the sage of Ehibe park.' "I think
the right solution ... is to have
the sportswriters pick an all-star
team every 10 to 15 years, No
one should be picked unless he
has played at least 10 years in
the majors,".
Mr. Mack was eulogized as the
man who has done more to in
spire clean living among youth
of the nation than any other
man. . . "
He received a gift of $1000

Sugar Boy
Decisioned
By LaMotta
Ray Robinson's Winning
Streak Stopped at 129 by
Jacob LaMotta in Detroit
By WATSON SPOELSTRA
DETROIT, Feb. 6 UP) Jolting
flacob La Motto, young New
York middleweight, is open to
tho schoolboy challenge, "pick
on someone your size," but
there was nothing questionable
about his 10-round decision last
night that shattered Ray (Sugar)
Robinson's sensational winning
streak at 120 fights, including
40 in the pro ring.
A 1 to 3 underdog, La Motta
carried a 16-pound weight ad
vantage into the Olympia sta
dium ring and came out with a
unanimous verdict over the pre
viously unbeaten fellow New
Yorker before an overflow
crowd of 18,030 that set a Michi
gun- indoor record. La Motta
weighed 1604.
Referee Sam Hennessy gave
La Motta five rounds, Robinson
four and called one even, and tho
two judges backed him up. On
the referee's scoreboard, Jake
won the last four, topped by the
eighth round when he smajhed
the Sugar boy through the ropes
with a left to the head for a
count of nine. The bell sounded
a split second before the time
keeper's hammer came down for
10.
By squaring accounts with
Robinson at one victory each
(Sugar gained a 10-round deci
sion in New York last October),
La Motta opened the way for a
rubber match to be fought here
before his negro rival marches
off to war.
For his trouble, Robinson
drew some $15,000 of the 350,
000 gross gate, with La Motta
getting $10,000.

To Compete
AtMillrose
NEW YORK, Feb. 6 (JP). A
torn tendon and hints, of a pos
sible 4:04 mile along with a 16
foot leap in the pole vault will
lure the usual capacity-throng
to Madison Square garden to
night for the thirty-sixth annual
Millrose games.
The torn tendon belongs, to
J. Gregory Rice, former gallop
ing Gnome from Notre Dame,
who has won 56 consecutive
races and will compete in the
two-mile run. The injury was
suffered last fall and not even
Rice is certain that it has mend
ed enough to withstand the pace
of strong competition, including
such newcomers as Oliver Hunt
er, a Notre Dame sophomore. '
Cornelius (Dutch) Warmer
dam,, only human ever to clear
15 feet in the pole vault, is
here from the west coast with a
hew bamboo pole "with more

rod its initial test, tonight.

How Close!
Beau Jack Pretiet Luck to
Decision Frltzi by Slim
Margin of On Body Punch
By SID FEDER '
NEW YORK, Feb, 6 VP)
Even when the dice are hottest,
a cagy crap-shooter will never
press his luck too far, which la a
top Beau Jack, the Georgia Jack
rabbit, should study carefully
lust now.
The Beau took a 10-round de
cision over Warhorse Frltzla
Zivic in Madison Square garden
last night by the slim margin
of one body punch which only
Referee Young Otto and one or
two others in the sell-out crowd
of 21,240 thqught was "fowl."
And since the little ex-shoeshlnt
boy had that much trouble dis
posing of a slowed-up Frltzie
Zivic, he should think more than
twice before pressing his luck
against Henry Armstrong, a
thing he is planning to do about
April 2. '. , . ,
The Hammer dldn t have too
much trouLle taking care of
Fritzlc, himself, last October in
Los Angeles. .
The Beau was the aggressor
most of the way last night in the
zippy 10-rounder, but only be
cause his young legs gave him a
big galloping edge on the battle
scarred Pittsburgher. , v
Perhaps the most unusual
thing about last night's fuss in
addition to that "low" blow Ref
eree Otto saw was the fact that
for the second straight week the
garden dusted oft the "SRO"
sign. The season record crowd
poured a total of $70,291 into
Mike Jacobs' strong boxes. .
As for that "low" blow, when
Otto called it and . took - that
eighth round away from Frltzie,
it set oil some extra fancy fire
works. The boos came down off
the garden's second "shelf" for
more than five minutes. - . '
