The match was slated for next Tuesday at the armory, but will be put off until Tuesday, Feb ruary 11. A cut on Snapp's eye was given as the postponement cause. Snapp received a gash just under his right eyebrow in his San Francisco fight with Bob Patterson 10 days ago, and the cut has failed to heal properly. Roy Drake, Snapp's manager, said that the Merrill boy had decided to ask Lillard that he be given an extra week rather than run the risk of doing permanent danger to the eye, but in order to keep his date with Sonny Kelly here he was having to pass up a chance for a main event fight in Sacramento. I Mack Lillard said that there would be no fight card here Tuesday night, because of the dif ficulty in lining up a good main event. Tickets already out for the Snapp-Kelly fight will be good for the fight at its later date. Leo Facing Legal Team LOS ANGELES. Jan. 31 (JP) Baseball Manager Leo Durocher, who seldom squabbles with more than one umpire at a time and then never wins, today found himself lined up against five Los Angeles lawyers including some of the town's best known legal talent. The panel of barristers was ap pointed by Superior Judge George A. Dockwciler to advise him whether loquacious Leo, pilot of the Brooklyn Dodgers. should be held in contempt of court for a withering statement the. baseball man issued to the press Wednesday in connection with his controverted marriage to actress Laraine Day. Durocher, commenting on Dockwciler's summoning Miss Day to show cause whether re cent interlocutory divorce from J. Ray Hendricks should not be invalidated, called the jurist an unetmeal and publicity con scious servant of the people and attributed to him a "holier than thou" attitude. Joseph Scott, 79, dean of the Los Angeles bar and a member of Judge Dockweiler's commit tee, knows some harsh words himself. Monte Hailed For Courage PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 31 UP) Monty Stratton, the six-foot-five baseball pitcher who lost his right leg nine years ago in a hunting accident, was hailed to day as the "most courageous athlete of 1946" but the mod est former Chicago White Sox hurler says he owes his return to the mound "to my wife and two kids."

Boxing's latest "golden boy" at the box office was summoned to appear before the fistic fathers today to tell his story of a 100. 000 offer to throw his scheduled December 27 fight against Ruben Shank of Denver. The fight was called off because Graziano complained of an ail ing back. District Attorney Frank S. Ho gan said he was "more inter ested" in uncovering under cover criminals who control fighters through "fronts" acting as managers of record than he was in any other phase of his wide investigation of gambling and fixing. Elimination of this particular evil long a topic of common gossip in fight circles has been regarded by boxing men for years as vitally-needed reform.

The light went three neats De- fore a tall was accomplished, but in the second round the Grey Mask was tossed out of the ring twice and dived out once of his own accord. The Mask got the first fall with butts and a half crab. In the fourth round Hart pin ned the Hood with a reverse arm bar, and in the grey one's strug gles to get free he kicked Gracia in the lace. Kuue then proceed ed to give him the fast count and Frankie a fall. Both men were limber-legged in the fifth and sixth rounds, but neither could gain a fall. Hart had the advantage but Gracia repeatedly broke up holds that another referee might have let pass.
