Even six-year-old Junior can tell you old St. Nick moves into a spot through the roof. And that s more or less the way Pri vate Johnny, the brand new, rip-snorting sensution of the lightweights, has taken to get right up front and center in the punching picture so front and center, as a matter of fact, that Promoter Mike Jacobs is talking toaay aoout Hatching him with Beau Jack, the champ. Nineteen -year -old Johnny's latest Job of work around here was in whacking Cloo Shans considerably and roundly in 10 rounds of blood -and - thunder thumping In Madison Square garden last night. And he turn ed the trick in his first crack at tho big tiino. Ho came right in through the top of the fight game tne garden. Last night, Jacobs took a chance on him in the top spot in a card of "No Name" fighters. And today, Greco is not only be ing tabbed as the best young lightweight prospect to come down the pike in quite a piece, but more than a couple of bash boulevard elders figure he'h have more than a "prayer" to knock off the Beau if and when they collide.

Lanky Ray Robinson to Fight os Pvt. Walker DETROIT, Feb. 27 (JP) Lanky Ray (Sugar) Robinson, probably the best fighter never to have won a championship, is ready to step into a real fight Tuesday as Pvt. Walker Smith of the U. S. army after wiping his slate clean with a decisive victory over tough Jacob La Motta, whom he spotted 15 pounds. Robinson, the pride of New York's Harlem and uncrowned king of the welterweights, cleaned up on unfinished busi ness as a champion should by getting off the floor to out punch La Motta, the one-man riot from the Bronx, before 15, 149 spectators who paid J60, 710 at Olympia stadium last night. La Motta weighed 160. The verdict received the unanimous support -of Referee Sam . Hcnnessy and the two Judges, and it amply avenged Sugar Ray's only setback in a 132-fight career at La Motta's hands three weeks ago. Hen nessy gave Robinson five Northern Divsion Northern Division Held in Pullman PULLMAN, Feb. 27 (JP) Finals of the northern division swimming tournament will be held here today, with Oregon and Washington universities hav ing qualified men for all but four of the 30 places in the five event semi-finals yesterday. Oregon and Washington each claimed 13 places. Oregon State qualified three, Washington State one and Idaho none. Irrespective of yesterday's re sults, each team will be allowed an entry in the finals of the backstroke, medley, relay and diving events, since no qualify ing runs were staged in these brackets. , PAUt; NlNiS Joe Di Maggio the itowpot is Yankee star and valuable player, Jos Di Maggio, rounds, La Motta three includ ing the seventh when he had Sugar boy on the deck for an eight-count with two even. Neither judge gave La Motta more than two rounds. In his dressing room, Robin son, a former Detroit newsboy who had beaten Jolting Jacob last fall in New York, just bub bled all over with elation. Many customers roundly booed : the verdict, probably because La Motta had gathered a huge per sonal following here, but Rob inson didn't seem to mind.; La Motta, drawing on supe rior weight, grew stronger as the light progressed, and in the seventh be dropped Robinson in his own corner with a straight left. Sugar Ray took the count calmly and after the intermis sion seized the initiative in the last three heats. Going into the army, Robin son's record reads: 131 victories, 95 by knockouts, and one de feat. That will do until some thing better comes along. SOS for Ball Players, Phils Campaigning PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 27 (JP) An SOS for ball-players any who are free agents and arenot 1-A in the draft went out from the Philadelphia Phils office to day, the first move in new own er Bill Cox's campaign to re build the National league's weak est team. The club's manager, - Bucky Harris, issued a blanket invita tion to all eligible men with eith er major or minor league exper ience he excluded sandlotters asking them to call at his of fice here before the team leaves March 21 for spring training at Hershey, Pa. "If they are good enough, their expenses will be paid," he said. "And some may even be per mitted to come to Hershey and work with us to show what they can do." Harris said he was extending the bid because so many minor leagues have folded for the dura tion. Baseball Commissioner Landls has held that franchises in these leagues are frozen, but the players have been ruled free agents.
