NEW YORK, Feb. 28 (P)
Bob Ulles, 17-year-old basketball
ace of the Westerly, R. I., high
school team (undefeated in 54
games in the Rhode Island class
B league) has scored 641 points
in 18 games this season. . . . That
seems to dispose of Lou Bloom's
479 as a possible record. , , Bob
has hit as high as 65 points a
game; averaged 35.10, which is
better than a point a minute for
high school games. He has drop
ped in as many as 20 consecu
tive free throws besides 257 field
goals. . . Note to college coaches:
Bob is six feet four and a senior:
the line forms , to the right and
the end probably is somewhere
around New London, Conn.,
now. . . . Another bright pros
pect, now unavailable, is 18-year-old
Pvt. Douglas-Ritchie, young
est player on the Keesler Field,
Miss., cage team. He was slated
for Wisconsin before his induc
tion. SILENT PARTNER
This one may be old but Wil
lie Kamm, former White Sox and
Indians third sacker, still tells
it around the mashed potato cir
cuit. . . . Seems Willie and Catch
er Frankie Pytlak once worked
out a "fool proof set of signals
to use going after pop flies. . . .
In the first game Kamm raced
for a high one, shouting "I got
it" and felt safe when he heard
no answer. . . . Just as he touched
the ball, he collided with Pytlak.
,v, , A trifle annoyed, Willie
asked if Frank hadn't ' heard
him "Sure I did," Pytlak re
plied. : "And didn't you hear me
wave you off?"

Sharkey's Manager
Bit Sore at Dempsey
By FRANK HART
BOSTON, Feb. 28 (John
ny Buckley, manager of former
Heavyweight Champion Jack
Sharkey, doesn't like the idea of
Jack Dempsey failing to list "my
boy" as one of the 10 best he
ever met.
"Why Sharkey could lick him
the best day he ever lived," said
the ex-gob's stocky mentor and
now his associate in the opera
tion of a tavern with "the long
est bar in Boston.'.'
"In fact, we could lick him to
day and we will if he gives us a
match all receipts to go for the
benefit of servicemen."
"I mean that," Buckley said
after scanning the list of the best
10 Dempsey gave out yesterday
in San Francisco. Sharkey, who
hung up his gloves long ago, was
not available to speak for him
self. "Sharkey's in good condition
today," the rotund Johnny add
ed, "and we'll take on that guy
any time just to show him that
I'm not mistaken, even now."
Buckley asserted that Demp

Sharkey at least 11 foul blows.
Everyone at the ringside knew
that, including the newspaper
boys. You could see those puncn
es to the groin a mile away.
"Why he had him licked in the
third round. He was out on his
feet, but Sharkey was a little too
merciful, and as a result ho lost
the chance to meet Tunney.
Sharkey could have beaten
seven out of the 10 men named
by Dempsey, Johnny averred.
"Tunney and Gibbons were
great fighters," Buckley agreed.
"Fulton would have been a cincli
for Sharkey; Gunboat Smith
would have been easy: a Bren-
nan bout would have been one
sided for Sharkey; Carpentior
only weighed 158 he would
have beaten him. Firpo what
the hell, he was a setup.
Dempsey, however, named
them among others as the best
he ever opposed, lie didn t even
give Sharkey honorable men
tion. Why didn't he pick Sharkey?
"Well, it's this way," Buckley
ex p 1 a i n e d. "Dempsey never
liked -my boy. Sharkey, was too
tough for him. He didn't want
any more of us after we pinned
his ears back until Sharkey got
careless. We tried to get him 20
times after that, but he ducked
us."
Buckley said that Sharkey
was a better boxer than cither
Dempsey or Tunney and a better
hitter than the latter.
"If Tunney could beat Demp
sey boxing, my boy both a box
er and hitter would have mur
dered him in a return engage
ment,". Johnny added. .

Group Silont At Meeting
Closet; Demand Recognition
In Choice of Committionor
By JIMMY JORDAN
CHICAGO, Feb. 28 (fl'l Minor
league strategists, seeking to
broaden the scope of their base
bull dealing with the "hlgher
ups," snt buck and waited today
for reverberations if any
from the major Iraguos on their
threat to abrogate tho major
minor agreement.
Tho strategists, ten of them
chosen to recommend revisions
in the mnjor-mlnor pact which
expires next January, were silent
as their thrcc-dny meeting drew
toward a close. Monday, In n
formal statement, the grouu had
demanded a voice in selection ot
a baseball commissioner to suc
ceed the late Kencsaw Moun
tain Landis, and had gone on
record as favoring:
"Certain legislation for the
protection ot the minor leagues
that would enable the National
association (of professional base
ball leagues) to either reaffirm
or cancel the agreement govern
ing relationship between the
major and minor leagues."
Yesterday, Tom Richardson,
committee chairman and presi
dent of the Eastern league, said
the intent of the protest regard
ing selection of a commissioner
by presidents ot the 16 major
league clubs, without giving the
minors a voice, was to pave tho
way for abrogation of the major
minor league pact "If the now
commissioner, whoever he may
be, tries to get too tough with
uV
Major league officials have
made no comment on the com
mittee's threat to abrogate the
agreement, and of that Richard
son said:
"That's all right If tho majors
don't want to comment. We just
let them know how we're feeling
and they can think it over."
The minors raised a similar
cry 24 years ago when Landls
was selected commissioner, but
it was ignored by tho majors.
Richardson declined to say
whether the committee amended
the agreement to eliminate the
clause denying their right to
legal recourse in commissioner
decisions. He also was silent as
to whether the group recom
mended, a hike in player-draft
prices from the $7500 maximum.
The committee concludes its
sessions today with a rules re
vision meeting. Although main
ly concerned with player techni
calities, the rules also involve
territorial rights of , minor
leagues and may be revised to
provide greater protection. All
the recommended revisions will
be brought before the December
meeting of the National associa
tion for final approval.
