A3 WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 30, 1946 DOUGLAS FIREMEN DEFEAT SIGNACS BY SCORE 36-28 LEAGUE STANDING W L Pct Juneau High 8 1 888 D. Firemen 5 2 T4 Subport 7 3 .700 Douglas High 4 7 364 PAA 3 7 300 Bignacs 2 9 182 Douglas Firemen moved up to a solid berth as the second highest team to Juneau's Crimson Bears in City League Basketball rating last night when they defeated Signacs 36 to 28. Playing to almost empty stands and a cheering squad made up most- ly of Hank Harmon, meml both teams played a rollicking of “let’s have fun” basketball. Pass work on both teams was good, but shooting compared with shots attempted was ony fair on the Firemen's team and poor on Signacs. Hickey and Fleek were high scor- ers on the Firemen's team with 12 points each. Signacs continued to play basket- ball much improved over its style two or three weeks ago. Grant Ritter, a newcomer, distinguished himself as an excellent passer, and Jones came forward as a quite dead- ly long-shot artist in last night's game. High scorer was Ted Thibo- deau with seven field goals, 14 points. Several of the players had not kizen informed that Subport had withdrawn from the league and the Subport-PAA game had been can- celled. e Signacs had only four players in the gymnasium until well after 8 o'clock. The Signac-Douglas Fire- men's game had been scheduled to follow the Subport-PAA game, and Captains were not ready for play when the fans arrived at 7:30 o'clock. Goldstein, the fifth player on the Signac team, arrived after his fzllow team mates and Firemen players had been practicing before fans for more than an hour. Officials in last night's game were: Referee, Bloomquist; Umpire, Bayers; Scorer, Harmon. The box score: D.

The committee will follow this system until it reduces the “backlog? of eligible names and then will tighten up require- ments for Johnny-come-latelys . . . ‘The National Interscholastic tennis championships will go south for the first time next Jume. They'll be played on the University of Virgin- ia’s layout, which was made possible by a gift from Lady Nancy Asor . . . When the Montana U. basketball team walloped Gonzaga, 103 to 34 the other night, the high individual scorer was a Gonzaga -guard. MASTERMIND TONY Tony Galento, all 263 pounds of him, puffed into New York today on a leave of absence from his New Jersey tavern and announced - that Billy Conn would win the heavy-, weight championship from Joe Louis when they meet next June. Said Tony: “Speed, that’s what counts .. . Conn has too much speed for Louis. Hell outbox him.” Tony refused any further com- ment on the Louis-Conn battle, said those guys were unimportant, but made an important announcement of his own . . . He's going to be g fight manager . . . Tony will intro- duce a pleasant-faced red-haired football player to the tough science of the squared circle. The player’s name is Ed Cameron of Newark, New Jersey . . . He was the captain | and star guard on the Miami Uni- versity Orange Bowl champions this year and made the Associated Press little All-America team. GRAVY TRAIN, LTD. One of the reasons boxing has lacked appeal to many sport fans is the fact that for every Gene Tun- ney, who left the ring with ‘consid-| erable wealth, there are a dozen or more fighters who end up broken in body and spirit, and with a depleted pocketbook Sometimes, the ‘"fighter himself is responsible for | | his finanecial plight . . . More u(wm} however, an investigation shows that | k2 was the victim of the human| parasites that are peculiar to the ring sport . Joe Louis is a case| in point . Joe has earned more ! than two and one-quarter million | | dollars in the ring . . . Yet Joe, who | never takes a drink, is in debt to Mike Jacobs to ‘the tune of about a hundred grand and owes the government about $117,000 in taxes. A Chicago sports writer, Gene Kess- ler, has had access to Joe's income tax statements from the fime he started his professional career until he entered the Army . . . He says| that, out of the $2,250,000 which Joe made, he was able to salvage only about one-fifth, or five hundred thousand, for himself . . . the rest went to managers and others who received a percentage of his earn- ings A considerable amount also was written off in the enor-| mous expense accounts charged | against Louis. Meanwhile, out of| the half-million which Louis re- tained for himself, he had to pay taxes that ran into six figures, leav- | ing a net of less than $400,000. | SPORTSPOURRI Harvey Hester's Miami Club has secured the exclusive right to dicker with Charley Trippi, when and if Trippi decides fo deal with the All America football conference. But Hester had to flash an agreement signed by all club owners during the “secret” draft at Chicago to keep Cleveland's Paul Brown from mak- ing Trippi his No. 1 choice . . . Wel- terweight Marty Servo once was a member of the cross country squad at Nott Terrace high school in Schenectady, N. Y. .. Now he prob- ably tries to avoid road work like most other fighters . . . Dewey Sor- fano, the young pitcher who recent- ly asked reinstatement on the Seattle Rainiers’ active list, has a license to command any ship on any waters and is qualified as a pilot on inland waters of both southwest- crn and southeastern Alaska What a ribbing he's in for the first time he gets into a baseline mixup trying to navigate to second base. - D YANKS TO TiLL MORE ACREAGE THIS SEASON ON NEW YORK—After four years of comparative inactivity, the New York Yankees are going back into the farming business on a 14-club scale with nine scouts to ferret out future DfMaggios, Gordons and Ruffings. The farm system that had dwin- dled to five clubs during the war has been reorganized on a two- division basis, spreading into new territory at Beaumont in the Texas League and Quincy in the three- eye, among others. President Larry MacPhail said the eastern’ clubs, under Eugene J. Martin, would operate independ- ently of the western unit under the supervision of Frank Lane. Sports Shorls | MELBOURNE, Australia, Jan. 30 —With two days remaining before - the deadline, the surprising total of 19 nations had filed entries tonight for the first post-war Davis Cup tennis competition, which will be climaxed by a challenge round against the holding Australian team probably late next December. ‘ INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. Louis told reporters today he would begin preliminary training at French Lick, March 1, for the defense of his heavyweight boxing champion- ship against Billy Conn at Yankee | Stadium, June 19.
