WASHINGTON, FeDVv.2" (IF)
A lot of where, when and how
remained to be answered today
in regard to application of the
government's new sports travel
reduction policy.
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. No indication was given
as to what that date might he. -

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.

asked of baseball in cutting its
mileage 25 per cent:

ATTENTION! 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.'

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.
