NEW YORK, Jan. 31.—Trade pa-| pers in the railroad field are pre-| paring sketches of Elmer Layden! . Maybe that’s the answer to the question of what football's thin man will do now that he's no longer Commissioner. And what a heck of a business for an ex- “horseman!”. Barney Ewell, the veteran sprinter, blames a week at the Army separation cen- ter for his defeat by Eddie Con- nell at Philadelphia last week. But there's no complaint against being « separated. . . . Hint of what to ex- pect . during the baseball season, ecomes from the American League Red Book. Earl Hilligan has listed playing records of athletes still in service so the dope will be on hand when they're discharged. SUGGESTION BOX | Promoter Mike Jacobs, who has been on the pan frequently for ex- ercising too much control over box-{ ing, proposes to rid the sport of side contracts such as the one that *caused the Fritzie Zivic-Freddie, Cockrane flareup. . . . Seems from here the Boxing Commissions and | N.BA. could do the job easily if| they'd refuse to recognize as cham- | pion any fighter who agreed to! turn over part of his earnings to a predecessor and to take the title from anyone who insisted on’such an agreement before defending it . .. Of course, the boys- might try to get around such regulations, 'b\n chances are they couldn't keep things secret—not when there's a lot of dough involved. GRIN AND BEAR IT When Jim Tatum, Oklahoma’s| new football coach held his first | press conference the other day, a| photographer demanded: “show me | v a dimple” . . . . Jim put on his| best grin (and why shouldn’t he eat $27,000 for three years?) and wisecracked: “This may be the last (ime ' smile for three years.” — PROPERTY SALES Recent transfers of property re- corded here during the past week are: Ralph Martin to the Juneau Church of Christ, tract of land in th~ Trwin Addition to Juneau; James Larsen to C.

His two big bouts were with Rocky Graziano, who stopped him each time Freddie has one edge over Servo that gives him a bright chance in the eyes of many competent box- ing men. He has had enough bouts since leaving the Navy to shake off his sea legs and acquire timing. Marty has had only two fights in nearly four years, most of which time he wore a Coast Guard uni- form. NESSY'S UNDER COACHES ARE REBELLING PITTSBURGH, Jan. 31—The University of Pittsburgh's smould- ering football cauldron was bub- bling today with the resignation of all three of the school's assistant coaches — but there’s an “if” attach- ed. The trio — Charles (Doc) Hart- wig, Bobby Hoel and Stan Olenn — told athletic director James Hagan yesterday that they “do not care” to continue coaching if Clark Shaughnessy comes back next sea- son as head mentor. Hagan said the three assistants had tried to resign last Nov. 8 but that he had persuaded them to re- main for the rest of the 1845 season. He said theft action was referred to the faculty committee on athletics. Shaughnessy said he had no offi- cial word of the resignations, and added that he would not qujt as head coach. “This doesn’t mean we don’t want to be assoclated with the univer- sity,” the assistants declared. “It's just that we don’t want to work with him (8haughnessy).” HOCKEY GAMES National League Boston 4; Chicago 3.

Smith holds the California heavyweight title. Bivins threw stiff punches to the body and the California fighter took counts of nine in the fifth and sixth rounds. Smith went down a second time in the sixth, but was saved by the bell. 1946 GOLF GLIMPSE REVEALS DUD PILLS HANGING ABOUT YET CHICAGO, — The average golfer will have to belt a pellet of synthe- tic rubber most of 1946 and chances are he will have to shop hard and long to replace that battered “dura- tion” driver. Representatives of two ranking athletic equipment concerns sized up the golf supply situation and said those bouncy pre-war balls will not be on the market before August and perhaps not at all this season. The latest synthetic balls, however, will be “almost as good”, they zmended. Production of clubs will be fairly brisk by May or June, but keep an eye on the steel strike, which may slacken manufacture of club shafts just when producers thought they had the manpower problem licked. George Dawson of the A. G. Spalding and Brothers Company, said a “rumor” that crude rubber would be released this month by the THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA U. S.
