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

will be."
Tunney is here on a 10-day

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-

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.
