Garden Fans Pay Fancy Price For Fistic Beef Yanks Have Spare Tire On Keystone NEW YOHK, Feb. 8 (P) Un less joe uoroxm is kiuuiiik, " believes he or George Stirn. weiss, his rival for the regular second Dase jod on im new iurn Yankees, may be traded. "What are the Yanks going to do with both of us?" queried Gordon yesterday in Chicago where he was en route to join his mates for the trip to Panama to start spring training. "It looks like one of us will be trad ed or moved to another position, or draw a fat salary for sitting on the bench." Of course, hardly anyone takes Gordon seriously. It seems inconceivable Manager Joe Mc Carthy would trade either Gor don, voted the most valuable player in the American league in 1942, or Stirnweiss, who won the league batting and base stealing titles last year. It is felt in baseball circles that the two will stage a red-hot fight for the keystone job, with the loser moving to third base where Bill Johnson, 1943 regular, is not expected back until mid-summer. He is still in the army with insufficient points for a dis charge. For the last two years, five volunteers have essayed the third base role without much New Pheasant Farm Being Bought By State PORTLAND, Feb. 8 VP) The new 280-acre game farm which the state game commis sion is purchasing s o u t h of Hermiston will be in production by 1947, the state game super--Visor said today. Frank B. Wire, reviewing game prospects in a speech be fore a businessmen's club, said the farm will raise 25,000 pheasants annually. Title on the purchase is expected to be cleared within a few days. Wire declared that the com mission would consider any raise in license fee "as feasi ble" particularly in view of the effect on wildlife of increas ing tourist sportsmen. He told the group that On tario, Eugene and Cor-vallis pheasant farms all warrant Im mediate improvements. " For What It's Worth, Tunney Picks Louis HAVANA, Feb. 8 (IP) For mer Heavyweight Champion Gene Tunney picks Joe Louis to knock out Billy Conn in three rounds when- they meet at the Yankee stadium in June. "Louis can kayo Conn in the first or second round if he wantfc to," Tunney said in an inter view. "Joe Is a far better all around fighter than Conn ever will be." Tunney is here on a 10-day vacation. He will referee Satur day's fight between the Gavilan Kid and Kid Bururu. Beau Jack And Johnny Greco Tangle Tonight With Nothing At Stake Bv SID FEDER NEW YORK, Feb. 8 (A') Gus Q. Fan and the Missus will pay tonight the highest price per pound for 'fistic- "beet" in Madison Square Garden s n 1-year History. Beau the Jumping Jack and Johnny "The Elevator" Greco, a couple of overgrown lightweights, will tangle in a 10-rounder at 10 p. m. (EST), and, with nothing at stake except their ability to keep all their features assembled properly, they'll draw a gate larger than most heavyweight championships staged in the Garden. Promoter Mike Jacobs' ticket men, who can call the shorts on a gate as accurately as Babe Ruth pointing out wnere unar- lcv Root s next pitch is going, tell you that Mike's cash regis ters will jingle-jangle-jingle with more than $150,000 tor the match. This would be not only the juiciest jackpot ever hit in the Garden by two little men, but also the third richest in Garden history, shaded in the past only by the $201,613 Heavyweights Jack Delaney and Jim Maloney drew in 1927 and the $189,700 Joe Louis attracted for defend ing his heavyweight crown against Buddy Baer four years aeo. Figuring that the Jumping Jack will scale in the neighbor hood of 143 pounds for his third start since coming out of the army and 'The Elevator" so called for his recent up-and-down performances will be packing some 145, this figures at about $520 per pound Gus and the Missus are contrmuiing to sit in on the carving. Which is not only somewhat fancier than top-round, but also a pretty fair country price for a fight with no champion or championship involved, al though tonight's winner will no doubt get a non-uue snoi at Welterweight Boss Marty Servo on March 22 or 29. The betting boys have made the Jumping Jack a 5 to 13 fa vorite for this brawl, a set of odds which are about as dis torted as trying to read your newspaper through a foot of water. The bouncing Beau with his buzzsaw style figures to win, and is the choice of this corner to buzz in with the deci- Lynam Clings Tenaciously To Johnson's Head Columbia River Closed 60 Days PORTLAND, Ore., Feb. 8 (JP) Oregon and -Washington have ordered a 60-dav closed period on commercial fishing for the Columbia river during March and April.

RED SHIEDS vs. RUDYS Running up the highest score posted so far this year in Vic tory league competition, the Red Shields thumped Rudy's last nieht by 60-18. The Shields scored almost at will against the small Rudy's quintet. Don Bennett chalked up 18 points for high and Phil Mc- Gilvary was next with a dozen. Tommy Sandoe sank seven for Rudys. Champ Leading In Billiards Money Match WILMINGTON, Del., Feb. 8 (P) Willie Mosconi, the pocket billiards champion of the world, who doesn't practice because he says it makes him relax, was off today to a commanding lead in a 10,750-point match with Jim my Caras. Mosconi, a 32-year-old marks man from Barrington, N. J., says he enjoys playing, "but I enjoy the money I get out of it more." Willie estimates he'll get $6000 to $7000 from the current match with Caras, which began Monday in Philadelphia and will wind up in Chicago. Willie has run up a lead of 883 to 62 over his Wilmington competitor in eight blocks, win ning seven of the blocks.

' ' WOMAN ROLLS 300 DUCKPINS CINCINNATI. Feb. 8 (&) Mrs. Mary Anderson, who rolled an unequalled 'perfect gnme in duck pin bowling, exclaimed: 'Those last two frames gave me the worst three minutes I ve ever had in my life!" Tfie slight, 31-year-old house wife, who lives at nearby Beth el, O., turned in her 300 pins in 10 consecutive frames last week at the Fent bowling alleys in Bethel. ' "I didn't start thinking about it until I had seven strikes in a row, then the pressure started to get heavy. I got past the eighth all right but I rolled the ninth and tenth frames in a sort of a daze." Charlie Fent, owner of the al leys, said Mrs. Anderson began bowling duck pins last fall. "I've heard of bowlers rolling 300 duck pins using 'rubberneck pins. Those arc duck pins with heavy rubber bands around the middle to make them thicker. No Liquor Ration Expected In Oregon PORTLAND, Feb. 8 IIP) Chairman George P. Lillcy of the liquor control- commission said today he did not expect a return to liquor rationing in this state. Despite the ban on wheat for whiskey-making and a liauor shortage on store shelves, there has been no indication that this state's supplies will dwindle, he reported.
