The 37-year-old Ott disclosed this yésterday at a news conference, adding: “The right knee which bothered me so much last year is completely healed. I intend to play regularly until the old legs give way or un- less players like Willard Marshall or-Jess Pike show me they can do better.” The recent acquisition of catcher Walker Cooper, from the St. Louis Cardinals for $175000, Ott said, “makes us a definite first division club for he'll add from 15 to 20 victories to our pitching staff.” NEW YORK, Jan. 22.—As a por- tent of the generally anticipated beom in the sport this year, box- ing grossed approximately $13,000,- 000 in the United States during 1945, an increase of nearly $3,000,- 000 over the estimated 1944 total. An Association Press tabulation of figures from 32 State Athletic Commissions showed today thai $12,878,660 was paid by at least 4,- 622,802 fans to witness bouts throughout the country. The at- tendance mark is complete because several of the Commissions listed only gross receipts. Joe Louis, Billy Conn and other notable prewar scrappers were still in the Service, but New York State retained its No. 1 ranking as new- | comers Rocky Graziano, Willie Joyce and Johnny Greco developed large followings. DALLAS, Texas, Jan. 22.—A plea for more playing fields and gymna- siums for American youth was voiced here last night by Baseball Cemmissioner A. B. (Happy) Chandler. He said that these sports facilities under proper jurisdiction could interest the country’'s young people in taking part in wholesome sports of all kinds, and help them build strong bodies and learn true sportsmanship. Chandler’'s remarks were made during an address that provided the serious side of the Sixth An- nual Sports Achievement dinner of the Saturday Morning Quaner-1 | departure on February 1. | backs Club. | nine-inch basketball players won- 1946 TOM HAMILTON BACK AT HELM OF NAVY TEAM Former Middie Grid Ace, Mentor Returning fo Replace Hagberg NAPOLIS, Md., Jan —Popu- ! lar Tom Hamilton, Navy football coach from 1934-36 and a star of Naval Academy teams 20 years ago, will coach the Middies again Announcement that Capt.
