' Leo Calls His Coaches Good HAVANA, Feb. 21 Brooklyn Dodger Manager Leo Durocher warns h imuti that the loss of Coaches Charlie Dressen and Red Corriden to the New York Yankees is not ir reparable. ' Introducing his new coaches, Jake Pitler, Clyde Sukeforth and Ray Blades to the Dodgers at their initial workout yester day, the voluble Durocher said "these are your coaches and they are good men. "What you fellows do on the ball field decides most ball games but judging by what some of us have read, Dressen won all our ball games. Charlie is a good coach. We might have won a few ball games last year with out Dressen. We would have won games without me." Hopes Kept Alive PORTLAND, Feb. 21 (A) The Seattle Ironmen kept alive their slim chances of a northern division Hockey league title last night with a 2-0 blanking of the leading Portland Eagles. To take the crown, the Ironmen must win all of its six remaining contests while the leading Portland six jnusi drop all of its five tuts. -JANIRO-JACK BATTLE ON KFIW TONIGHT Beau Jack, Georgia's ball of fire, who twice held the world lightweight title, returns to Madison Square Garden tonight to prove his merit as a lead ing contender for welter honors. He tackles Tony Janiro (above), the fistic wonder boy from Youngstown, in the ten-round feature event. The Beau's idea of fightin' is to fight. He takes a headlong bead on the guy in the other corner and away he goes right into high. He's a swing-from-thc-floor slasher, a sharp-shooting left being his soundest weapon. Janiro, however, is no powder puff. His record embraces 47 wins in 60 contests. Tony is brilliant, works in a businesslike manner and is never flus tered. His left hook is a study of pre cision and he strikes his foe with the impact of a piston.

Anyone who does may meet the same fate as the leading middleweight contender who had his New York license revoked several weeks ago on a charge of failure to report a $100,000 offer to throw a fight . Col. Eddie Eagan. chairman of the New York commission, has maintained a discreet silence on this angle since the National Boxing association (NBA) an nounced on Tuesday that its member states were free to dis regard the New York ruling. However, the rules of the New York commission contains this clause: "Nothing in these rules is deemed to define or restrict the powers of the commission in disciplining, penalizing or controlling any corporation or person under its jurisdiction for violation of the letter or spirit of the law and rules as it may determine by particular action in any situation that may arise." Thus, it seems clear that any fighter now licensed to fight in New York and this includes all the topnotchers, would run a grave risk in disregarding the commission bap and meeting Graziano anywhere while Rocky is on the shelf. Anything that might keep them from appear ing in Madison Square Garden, where the big purses are, usually makes a fighter and his manager think twice. Meanwhile Cleveland Promoter Larry Atkins said Graziano was "just about certain to make his next fight in Cleveland" and Sheldon Clark, chairman of the Illinois athletic commission, de clared his commission "will give due consideration" if an appli cation is made to hold the second Graziano-Tony Z a 1 e middle weight title bout in Chicago this summer. - Atkins said that Graziano's Cleveland opponent probably would be the winner of next Monday's fight between Chuck Hunter-of Cleveland and Jerrv Fiorello of Brooklyn. Navy's Coach Denies Shift ANNAPOLIS. Md.. Feb. 21 Pi Captain Tom Hamilton, head football coach at the naval acad emy, denied today he had been signed to succeed Jim Crowley as commissioner of the All America Professional Football conference. Replying to oublished reDorts he would leave the academy in June to take over the assign ment, Hamilton issued a state ment saying: "I have not signed with the All-America Professional Foot ball conference and have not re ceived any definite offer from any member of their committee." Attraction At Sportsmen's Show Weidner Flips To Finish Off The week-after-week mat dis pute between Billy Weidner and the Grey Mask apparently was settled to the satisfaction of all concerned at the armory last night when Weidner flattened the Hood, two falls out of three after a hectic battle. The bout was not quite so bloody and rowdy as in past weeks, probably due to the fact that the Mask had two referees to contend with and neither one, Miller To Fight Johanit Tuesday Indian Bruce Miller, hard fisted Chiloquin middleweight puncher, has been signed to fight Eddie Johann in the semi-final boxing match on next Tuesday's armory card. The bout will be a five-rounder, one of four of that length being planned. Bob Eastman and LeRoy Barkley will come to blows in the main event. A match which has the mak ings of the best fight of the eve ning will be between Monte Montgomery of Beatty and Rudy Carlson of Klamath in the light weight bracket. Although both are rated at the top of that weight division locally, they, have not been paired before. Touted Rookie Impn esses Ott PHOENIX, Ariz..

First round passed without untoward incident, then in the second Weidner clutched the Mask in a full nelson that both Yoakley and Hart had to break. In the third round Weidner almost ended things with a wind mill, but dropped the Mask too soon. The Hood salvaged a fall with his pet half crab. Weidner was blasted out of the ring just after the start and butted once again as he was coming back in, but Frankie Hart, refcreeing from outside the ropes, reached over the top strand and hung the best punch of the evening on the Mask's whiskers. , All Weidner had to do was siep in, pick up his opponent and twirl him. In the opener last night Buck Weaver took a fall and the fight from Bucko Lipscomb, finishing off the activities with a head lock that left Lipscomb with a large crick in his neck. Tony Ross and Frankie Hart fought to a slow draw in their four-round semi-windup. Tony took a fall with a grapevine and Hart managed one on a stamping toe hold.

But Idaho is so closo to accom plishing this ultimate in luws that a Pulouso county earth. quake would be shrugged off as merely an Idaho shudder. The team that took the pennant lust ycur has lost 13 straight and has only the two OSC tilts and one against second place Washington State In which to avoid a white wash. While the Vandals try to halt the title ruth of OSC. Washington and Oregon will match speed and shooting ability at Seattle In battle ' for third place. By winning both, Oregon could cinch the spot, while Washington needs only one win in the two games to make sure of at least tie for third. Washington has been a "Sat urday night team" this year on its home floor. Both OSC and Washington State smashed the Huskies in Friday games nt Se attle, only to bo crushed in turn on Saturday nights. If coach Guy Wicks can brew some potent coaching muglc for Idaho and trip the Beavers he'll keep the gate open for Wash ington State, which retains slim mathematical chance at tho pennant. Slats GUI takes his Beaver. across the state lino to Pullman Monday and Tuesday for collisions with the Cougars of WSC. The week-end activity closes out the season for Washington, leaves Oregon and Idaho with one game to go and the two state colleges with three each. Law Orders Slice Of Jack's Purse WHITE PLAINS. N.
