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.

GRAZIANO FREE TO
NBA Crosses
Gotham Bar
NEW YORK, Feb. 21 m
Rocky Graziano is free to fight
outside of New York state, but
who will fight him? 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.

Weidner Flips
To Finish Off
The week-after-week mat dis

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,

A match which has the mak

FIGHT
Grey Mask
Rowdy Bout
Earl Yoakley or Frankie Hart,
would stand for many monkey
shines. 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.

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

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

its home floor. Both OSC and
Washington State smashed the
Huskies in Friday games nt Se
