Hope he's smart enough to avoid baturday night dates. Even the Robeson voice might suffer from too much "Cornell, I Yell." Manager Jimmy Johnston, who is feuding with Eddie Mack, the Boston promoter, claims that Lou Nova now is "the most for feited guy I know about." Seems Nova had to post a $1000 guaran tee that he'd appear for a Boston fight May 26 and in addition the New York commission is holding up on $1000 purse for the same reason. . . "And what's more," moans Jimmy, "the fight will only draw about $500." "When Wally Westlake, former Oakland infielder, asked Catcher Joe Sprim of the San Francisco Seals to give a few pointers to Wally's kid brother, Joe duti fully took an afternoon off to visit the team at Christian Brothers' school in Sacramento. ... After a long session with the kids, Sprinz realised some thing was wrong and asked brother Henry, the coach, where was Jimmy Westlake. . . . "Oh, I forgot to tell you," the coach explained, "Brother Christopher kept him two hours after school for failing to do his home work. He won't be with us today."

The program includes these points: 1. Elimination of high school tournaments that involve the use of transportation facilities beyond suburban area. S.

(Happy) Chandler has some big plans for tho baseball-minded boys of America. These plans, already advanced to the point of discussions with presidents of the National and American leagues, call for equip ping as many sandlots as pos sible with balls, bats and gloves. The proposed program is so extensive that Chandler suggest ed it might even eliminate the need for compulsory military training. It would accomplish the same purpose in keeping American boyhood physically fit, he said. Baseball itself, he thinks, can finance most of tho program by diverting some of the money it has been contributing to other purposes. Part of the annual All-Star game and world scries intakes, for example, might be thrown into the fund. To accomplish all ends, he is considering a plan for soliciting the cooperation of the American Legion, the YMCA and other na- tional organizations wnich are already contributing to baseball. For local, regional or district supervisors, he hopes to obtain the services of some baseball vet erans, men whose names will mean something to the boys. These might include several of the many former major leaguers who will come out of the war unable to carry on as players. Also turning over in his mind is a plan to divide the nation into districts, each playing for an annual sandlot championship and maybe later meeting in a national championship tourna ment. To get the program started, the commissioner says it will be possible to obtain some of the surplus baseball paraphernalia used for recreational purposes by the army now that the Euro pean war is over. The sandlots may get their first windfall of equipment as early as next SDrinE.
