PASTOR AND MAURIELLO FIGHT TONIGHT -- ■_ + Sports Hodge-Podge BY CARLE HODGE The Array’s dim-out order has extended its black cloak nver any future semi-pro baseball games under Legion Field’s flood lights and threatens to curb night softball con t ts at lighted Robert Strange park. Naturally the only way out—unless outdoor sports are called off here for the duration—will be to schedule after noon and twilight contests. But it’s not as much fun as watching a game under the arcs—and nod so glamorous for the fellows that are playing. Rut sports by the daylight are going to be a necessary evil in Wilmington—necessary if the fans are going to have athletics at all. Local fans have already shown that they don’t par ticularly like to turn out for a game before dark. They’ll have to do it, though, if they want games to turn out for. For in Wilmington, like in the rest of the nation,, .portsdoin’s part in the biggest contest in American history g giving up some of its past advantages. Victory is the prize. Lou Novikoff, the Chicub’s rookie disappointment of the 1941 season, isn’t almost the flop he was last year. But try and tell that to Wrigley field’s fans. The Mad Russian is made a regular by Manager Jim Wilson and then unmade just about as often as the club schedules a game. At the start of last season the scribes tabbed Novikoff. fresh from Milwaukee where he hit .370, the •most likely rookie.” A few minds had been changed before the season was very old. Lou batted .241 in 62 games. And this season it’s been the same old story. For some reason, however, Chicagoans like the big, good-natured Russian. Wilson sends him in—especially when the Cubs are at home—every now and then mainly for that reason. Davis Nine Meet Marines On Saturday Vaughn Will Hurl Against Leathernecks In Game At Camp This Week Fresh from a victory over the Wallace community team and anx ious to continue along the victory •cad, Camp Davis s baseball team s preparing to meet the New River Marines n,ne at Davis at 2 o’clock Saturday afternoon. The decsision of Lieut. H. A. lohnson, Davis coach, to train a arse squad, is paying dividends low. for despite the loss of a few Irst string and reserve players, due :o training activities, Camp Davis s ns strong, possibly stronger than Bfore, Vaughn, one of the best hurlers on he post staff, will pitch tomorrow. He turned in a good performance igainst Amoco earlier in the season. "The men are looking better every by.' Lieut. Johnson reported Thursday. "What they need more than anything else right now is a ten- mole games together.” A Saturday afternoon exhibition tilt between Davis and the Amoco Cannoneers of Wilmington has been postponed until Saturday, Mr- S DENIED BUSES DENIED BUSSES ODT Officials Ban Use Of Chartered Coaches By Minor League Clubs _______ WASHINGTON, May 21.— (P) — Minor league baseball teams, ac customed to traveling from town to town in chartered buses, will be denied such transportation after June 1, Office of Defense Trans portation officials said today. Such teams fall within the ban announced yesterday by ODT on most operations of sightseeing and chartered bus services. Questioned as to the effect of the order, if no other means of transportation were available, ODT legal sources commented that the baseball teams probably would “find it pretty tough getting around.” They added, however, that ODT would review any special hardship cases.

Barclay & Co., Limited PEORIA, ILLINOIS BOB IS FAVORED OVER BRONX BOY IN CARDEN BOUT Match May Mean Another Chance For Pastor At Heavyweight Title By SID FEDER. NEW YORK, May 21.—(/P)—That Bob Pastor man is in again. The ex-New York university foot baller, who has made a career out of fighting Joe Louis, tangles with Tami Mauriello, a growing boy from the Bronx, in Madison Square Garden tomorrow night in what may be the final hurdle in his cam paign for a third meeting with the Brown bomber. Of course, that third get-together with the head man still lies with Uncle Sam’s Army and its decision as to whether Buck-Private Joe will be allowed out to toss a few punches. Naturally, Bob figures to run right over Mauriello. The odds makers will just about let you write your own ticket if you’d care to invest on the square-jawed youngster who has grown up from middleweight to big-boy in the past year. Just about 14 months ago, he fought Billy Soose when Billy was the middleweight champion. Then he twice tried to take Gus Lesnevich’s 1 i g h t-heavyweight crown, last August and again in INovemoer. in recent montns, ne s moved in among the dreadnaughts, and he brings a record of six stright kayoes over them into his fight with Rapid Robert. This corner tabs Pastor to gallop off with the ten-round decision, even if Manager Jimmy Johnston doesn’t say a word. But if you’re superstitious, you’ll recall that twice in the past Pastor came up to what were supposed to be easy matches on his way to a title shot. Riding along on an 11-fight wir» ning streak, Bob now has the fans coming out to see him, too, as a result of his recent win over Lesne vich. For years, he was the local boy the local fans couldn’t see, but off his Lesnevich victory and his neat jobs in disposing of Lem Franklin and Jimmy Bitins in re cent outings, the chances are a crowd of some 12,000 will chip in to a gross gate of $30,000 or so. -V RECORD NUMBER ENTERS TOURNEY Decks Cleared For Compe tition In Country’s Larg est Open Golf Event NEW YORK, May 21—(-ST—With a record entry list on hand the United States Golf association to day cleared the decks for competi tion in the largest open links event in the country by announcing en tries for the 69 local qualifying rounds of the Hale America tourna ment.
