Corp, Mcllo Bcttina wouldn't say
so today, but it's a safe guess
he convinced army life
and
Jimmy Bivins don't mix.
Before dropping a 10-round de
cision to the Cleveland negro
last night, the New York mili
tary policeman declared tho
army had made him a better
fighter and vowed he'd prove it
at Bivins' expense.
"I'm not talking," was Bet
tine's reply to questioners who
invaded his dressing room after
the scrap.
The customers didn t see the
same Bettina who southpawed
his way to an easy triumph over
Bivins in November of 1941.:
They didn't see the same Bivins
either, for the long-armed Cieve
landcr warded off the M. P.'s
portside slants and connected
more consistently and more ef
fectively with ripping right

Baseball Takes
After Japs With

By BUCK O'CONNOR
CHICAGO, Sept. 18 Wj The

years ago and now baseball is
"taking after" the Japs.
It's going to transport a little
bit of America to the service
men who are slugging it out
with the Nips in the Pacific
war zone.
Approval of the tour was an
nounced by army officials in
Washington yesterday, but the
personnel of the two 18-man
squads representing the Ameri
can and National leagues has
not been chosen. Baseball Com
missioner K. M. Landls said he
assumed the players would be
selected by a vote of the man
agers In each league.

Winter Beef Famine
By WALTER WARREN
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 16
VP) Livestock men said Wednes
day that California may face a
beef famine this winter.
Feediot operators have an
nounced intentions of closing
down since the government re
cently ordered cancellation of
feed concentrate orders.
F. E. Mollin of Denver, secre
tary of the National . Livestock
association, said here today he
had reports the operators were
clearing their yards. Dan Mc-
Kinney, secretary of the Cali
fornia association, confirmed
Moilin's report
Sporting goods dealers, placed
an emergency order for hunting
licenses when the demand de
pleted their stocks.
Highway patrolmen expressed
concern over the expected heavy
traffic this coming weekend
when many hunters will return
to their homes and others will
take to the woods.
There were many and varied
means to make an "A" gasoline
book take in a hunting trip.
Some cars were being towed by
others, several had auxiliary gas
oline tanks to be certain their
September 21 stamps didn't ex
pire without their getting out of
the forests in time to make use

By HAROLD V. RATLIFP
DALLAS, Tex., Sept 16 m
Jack Dempsey thinks some of
the energy of the nation's young
fighters could be turned toward
making money for their Uncle
Sam and at the same time build

Now a lieutenant commander
in the coast guard with-the duty
of coordinating its physical train
ing program, he envisions great
fight shows in the metropolitan
centers, with war bonds as the
admission price the bigger the
bond, the better the seat.
Dempsey was here today to
preside at bond auction lun
cheon. In Houston, he had ref
ereed at a war bond boxing
tournament for service men and.
defense workers that drew over
$4,000,000.
"That Illustrates Just what 1
