Army Man Eyed for
Baseball Czar Post
General George Marshall May Be
Successor to Kenesaw Landis
ST. PETERSBURG, Fie.. Mir.
SO UP) Perhaps It li an extreme
ly long hot. but the next high
commissioner of baseball might
be General George C. Marahall,
the preterit chief of staff of the
spending United Statu army.
The question of the noxt dia
mond commissioner naturally
arose at the meeting of iniijor
nd minor league magnates here
yesterday, when one of the re
quests made by the minor lee
guars, was that they be given a
chance to help name the even
tual successor of the present
baseball commissioner, Kcnesaw
Mountain Landis.
There Is no particular ruth to
locate a successor to "The Jedge,"
it he still Is hale and hearty
nd playing his dally round of
golf over the nearby Bellcalr
course. But there Is no harm In
reporting that General Marshall
made a rapt Impression on the
baseball colony In a recent one
night stand on the Florida west
coast.
Names, unfortunately, cannot
be used at the moment, but one
of the games' top executives
aid this:
"I couldn't think of a man
now who would make such a
Una commissioner. He's fairly
young and he's nut about base

Joe Louis
Confident of
Win Over Abe
By CHARLES DUNKLEY
DETROIT, March 20 W) Joe
Louis has no doubt as to the
outcome of his battle with pond
erous Abe Simon, set for 20
rounds or less, tomorrow night.
All that is worrying the pow
erful negro Is how long it will
take to explode his 230-pound
foe and whether he'll damage his
hands in doing It. A damaged
hand would be a serious blow to
the world's heavyweight champ
ion in his "fight-a-month" cam
paign. He is scheduled to box
Tony Musto in St. Louis April
7 and Billy Conn in New York
in June.
Louis promised today to knock
out Simon with the first punch
if possible. He is determined to
convince hometown admirers
that he's capable of finishing an
opponent with a quick, spectacu
lar knockout. In previous De
troit engagements, Natie Brown
and Patsy Perron i each stuck
ten rounds with the champion.
while he required eleven rounds;
to stop Bob Pastor after flooring
him four times In the first round.

By FRED HAMPSON
Associated Press Staff Writes
There were a few echoes from
the state basketball tournament
at Salem beside the reported
near-mobbing of the victorious
Astoria team by disgruntled par
tisans of the unsuccessful Vi
kings. One of them was Fred
Zimmerman's suggestion In the
Capital-Journal that coaches be
permitted 10 players Instead of
eight.
At present, coaches may bring
in replacements if any of their
original eight players become ill
or are injured. This works all
right for some teams but doesn't
work at all for others.
Zim's case in point: "Coach
Stub Allison (of Baker) pointed
to Ron Hogan, his regular center
who had Just hopped to the play
ers' bench, but not in uniform.
Hogan had injured an ankle
Thursday and was out of com
mission. With the source of sup
ply 400 miles away Allison had
no opportunity to bring in re

MinnvUle, Silverton and similar
close-in communities, but for
eastern Oregon it isn't a particle
of help. Said Allison, 'II they
really want to do something they
might let us bring 10 men in the
first place.' "
The A division tournament at
Salem put the B tournament at
Ashland somewhat in eclipse,
but Troy Walker of the State
High School Activities associa

Times have changed In col
lege baseball. Away back in the
early years of the gaudy '20a, a
varsity horsehlder was anathema
to the scouts, a busher per se.
Nowadays the collegians prac
tically fight the scouts off and
"cradle-robbing" is as much of
battle cry in the campus lota aa
"knock the cover off the wall."
Guys like F risen and Gehrig
proved long ago that college at
mosphere did not dull a good
hitting eye or take the hop from
a high hard one.
The concentration of the ma
jor league field men on college
teams became so Intense as the
pendulum reached the opposite
extreme that coaches turned
scouts. Currently coutcoach
