NEW YORK, May 24 (P)
The Jackson, Mich., baseball
school for kids will wind up to
morrow with a program that was
rained out earlier this month and
postponed until the Tigers fin
ished their eastern trip. . . . The
cooperative venture ot the De
troit clu'j, the Jackson Booster
ftuN nnH Rpnrpatinn Director
Cliff Weatherwax was so suc
cessful that several other Micni-
it. . . . Battle Creek wUl hold a
scoool in June and Kalamazoo
will 'operate next year . This
department will sketch the idea
just'ln case anyone else is inter
ested.
SCHOOL'S OUTDOORS
Instruction at Jackson was
provided by Lew Fonseca, Amer
ican league promotion man who
gave a. lesson on hitting besides
showing his films; Jud Haymes,
Western Michigan coach, ex
plained infield play and Ray
Fisher of the University of Mich
igan conducted a session for
pitchers and .catchers and helped
several young hurlers overcome
varinnc fmiHc Rmilt Wkh ECan
and Councilman Billy RogeU
will head the Detroit aeiegauon.
.... "It is not a talent school,"
explains Sports Editor Brick
Fleming of the Jackson Citizen
Patriot. "It's the first time in
my-memory of 25. years of sports
that big league and college
coaches cooperated in giving the
kids something they need free
instructions. You should have
seen the boys trying to put into
practice things that had been
taught and demonstrated." .
... ..
. FAIR WARNING
In announcing the New York
World-Telegram's annual contest
to select the most valuable play
er in local schoolboy baseball cir
cles, and reward him with a trip
"with Yankees, Giants or Dod
gers, Scribe Bill Roeder wrote:
We accept no responsibility if
our man is forced to play out
the season with the club of his
selection." f
a
1 A ROOKIE A DAY
Danny Gardella, Giants: A
pickup from a local shipyard
league, Danny was shoved into
right field when Manager Mel
Ott was hurt. He'll stay there
as long as he's hitting unless he
breaks his neck trying to field a
base hit off that right field wall
at the Polo Grounds. ... A little
miy with a big wallop, he hits
like Musial, runs like Rucker
and fields like Babe Herman at
his worst . . . When a pitcher
buzzed one under his chin his
first time at bat in the big
leagues, Danny asked: Are they
afraid of me already?" .. . You
can't bench a guy like that, es
pecially when he hit .375 on the
club's western tour.
Turkey Wins
Ten-Round
Decision
LOS ANGELES, May 24 VP)
Turkey Thompson, local heavy
weight, won a 10-round split
decision last night over Perk
Daniels of Chicago In tempestu
ous rematch.
Daniels bested Thompson six
weeks ago.:
The fireworks started be
tween the 9th and- 10th rounds,
when Referee Johnny Indrisano
sought to Inspect Daniels' left
eye, opened in the second. The
Chicagoan's seconds pushed the
referee away. " '
In the 10th round Indrisano
stopped the fight, but Daniels
declined to submit the orb to
scrutiny, and insisted upon con
tinuing the bout. The crowd,
its collective opinion split wide,
went into an uproar.
Indrisano scored the fight 57
to 53 for Thompson, Frankie
Van tabbed it 58 to 52 for Tur
key, and Charley Randolph
scored it 56 to 54 for Daniels.

Wagner
May Top
Katonen
George Wagner, the mean
matman who slugged Pete Bcl
castro into a two-week layoff in
last week's wrestling match at
the armory, is favored to top
Paavo Katonen, Pacific coast
light heavy champ, in the local
ring this Friday night. . ,
This bald-faced statement is a
result of much study of the ef
fects of altitude on athletes.
Wagner, who has been wrestlinir
in Klamath for the past three
weeks, should . be more accus
tomed to the thinner air. Katon
en, who has been doing his bit
in tne .muggy, low southern cli
mate, may be hampered a trifle
by the Inability to "catch his
wind" in the higher country.
Of course, all this reason in 2
hinges on the probable length of
the match. If the strangle is
short, the altitude may not af
fect Paavo s ability, but u the
Datue lasts for any length of
time, Wagner will have the edge.
wagner will probably lead in
meanness, also, as is evidenced
by Pete Belcastro who is still on
the shelf with a back Injury
after the pounding he took from
George last week.
The wrestling-fan public Is vi
tally interested in this week's
event. Promoter Mack Lillard
said today, and a crowded house
is forecast for the event by the
huge advance ticket sale.
