The office of defense trans portation has disclosed that it is asking all sports to reduce pas senger mileage by 25 ' per cent on a ."home field -basis," with major league baseball being the first to make the cut; Play on "neutral" - fields will be elimi nated. ;;. Among unanswered questions as to how the policy will apply are these: What will the effect be on tennis and golf tournaments in which individuals instead of teams conmete? Will intercollegiate basketball championships such as those in Kansas City and New York, and major track meets like the Drake and Fenn relays be eluni' nated? ., -., - . When will the over-all policy' go into effect? The ODT said that the answers to such questions will be "forth' coming 'shortly'' in. formal an nouncement of the policy,' . "Particular attention" will be paid to all such problems ..the OPT said, adding that a "start ing time" for . the policy to go info effect probably will be set soon.

Ford Frick and Will Harridge. major leagues' presidents, wind ing up two days ot conlerences with government officials on baseball's problem, ' said ' of ODT's action: "It's just what we wanted; how we know where we stand and can get down to the business of going ahead." Baseball's leaders felt that they now have only one more barrier to cross before the game's continuance this spring becomes a certainty. That hurdle is the manpower problem. War Mobilization Director James F. Byrnes was "friendly and courteous" . in discussing baseball's manpower difficulties but Frick and Harridge realize that not even Byrnes can see the way until congress acts on pend ing work-or-else legislation. ; Specifically, this is what ODT asked of baseball in cutting its mileage 25 per cent: . lGames will be playedonly in the home city of one or the other, competing teams.

MACK LILLARD Hey, Mack! The oddest figure in the ontire world of sports Is a guy right down your alley. Mnrtin Levy is this gent's name and he's 670-pound crunch artist who has made qulto a name for himself in midwestern, southern and southwestern innts. . They call this bloke "The Blimp" and rightly so. Ho measures 84 around the waist (?) and wears two bolts strapped together to hold up his panties. Ho has shoulders so wide that it is all ho can do to get through a double door. The Blimp wears only a size 12 shoe, however, and has small hands and his face isn't flabby at all. All the poor guy can buy in a store to fit him aro shoes, gloves and neckties. He sports a villainous mustache and 10 years' growth of beard to practically scare his opponents into submission. The Blimp is reported to have been of nor mal build until he was 12. Then he began "filling out" and by the time the kid was 16 he weighed 365 pounds! Young Levy played football in high school and was n touch customer to uush around. He started rassling professionally 11 years ago, saved his lettuce, and can retire comfortably at any time. The Blimp's favorite sport is not heaving other guys through the ozone, but swimming. He learned at a tender age and is an expert. He should be, the guy couldn't sink if he wanted to. The biggest problems that confront The Blimp aro sleeping and traveling. On buses, trains and airplanes ho requires two seats and he ain't got a No. 1 priority like Blnzcl Few hotel beds will support his weight, so he sleeps most of the timo on a mattress and springs placed on the floor. Hey, Mack, how about it.' mi ni)Ui'j tmmmmmHmsimmmmm S ;i FW Hotel. BEOS I HAINES Coast League Unaffected By Travel Cut LOS ANGELES.

Increase In Game Fees Eyed OLYMPIA, Feb. 22 (A1) An increase in hunting and fishing license fees in Washington is sought in a bill introduced today by Sen. H. N. Jackson (D-Pierce), chairman of the senate fisheries committee. The bill proposes that the fee for combination state hunting and fishing license be $5, an in crease of $2, and the charge for county licenses be doubled, to $3. It. also proposes issuance of separate state licenses for hunt ing and fishing, with a fee ot $3 for each type. Youngsters under 16 wouldn't have to worry about raising the price of a license. The bill pro poses that no license be required of them to hunt or fish. Rep. Fred J. Martin (D-Skagit) submitted a bill to empower the game commission to set up and enforce regulations for oroDasa- tion, hunting, trapping and dos- scssion of beaver, and sale of beaver skins. Violators could be fined up to ?1000 under the pro posed act. If it's n "IrnTpn" arrif.i v zi nced, advertise for a used one in tne classified.
