Sports Roundup DS By HUGH FULLERTON, JR. NEW VORK, Feb. 24.—(JP)—When baseball’s committee to revise the major-minor agreement meets m Chicago Monday, Prexy Pants Rowland of the Pacific Coast lea gue wants them to put some teeth in a rule against signing Ameri can Legion players. . . Rowland told the sporting news: “Baseball is apt to get in trouble when it starts putting its welfare above the education of youngsters 11 h piomising baseball ability." . . • Rod Trautman, who has been ne gotiating with various high school athletic groups on behalf of base ball, probably would add that baseball already is in trouble for that same reason, and even when it has good intentions the educa tors are suspicious. . . What this department would like to see is a Strict ‘‘hands off" policy regard ing any kid who really wants an education, plus support for a school and college program that would enable the boys to study baseball as well as books.

The sixteenth edition of the Red Book, dedicated to “every Ameri can league player in the armed forces, and especially to those who have made the supreme sacrifice,” counts 274 players on the active list and 243 on the military honor roll. How many of the 274 potential performers will don flannels or long respond to the familiar “play ball'’ after the seaon open in late April can only be anssered by Se lective Service and Congress which now is studying work-or fight legislation. Whatever the fate of the 1945 big league season, the junior cir cuit at the moment is prepared to make a go of its fourth war time campaign. The Washington Senators, draw ing upon Cuba for 11 players and Venezuela for another, has the largest squad roster with 41 can didates. The Cleveland Indians are next with 39, followed by the Chi cago White Sox, who have 36 de spite the loss yesterday of outfield er Gene Thomas, now in the Ma rines. The champion St. Louis Browns and the Detroit Tigers, who lost the pennant cn the final day, have 34 each. The New York Yankees list 32 players, while the Boston Red Sox and the Philadelphia Ath letics have 29 each. Only 20 players have been induct ed into the armed forces since the 1944 season ended, but the trickle of American leaguers to induction centers for re-examination has been constant in unheralded. The crux of the whole baseball man power problem hinges upon Con gress’ action on the proposed work-or-fight legislation. The American League, for in stance, has 126 4-F's, forming the experienced nucleus of the cir cuit's playing strength. If these fail in draft re-examinations and are not required to enter war plants, the league possibly will be up to last year's caliber. _V YMCA FIVE WINS OVER NAVY TEAM A sharpshooting YMCA quint downed a fighting Coast Guard Crash Boat five 26-14 Friday night on the YMCA court.

Feb. 24.—(U.R)—'Wil fred (Billy) Bangert, the singing shot putter who came to New York to compete in the National A. A. U. Track and Field Championships will return to the University oi Missouri with a chance to become a Metropolitan opera singer. He won the opportunity today at an audition. Then he changed intc his “work" clothes in attempt tc win the 16-pound shot from 16 other contestants. The two arias he sang with his vibrant baritone attracted the at tention of Maestro Wilfred Pelletier who offered to coach him for twe years after he finishes college. “It will be two hard years,” Pel letier told the 230 pound, six foot, five all-around athlete, “but you have the voice to make a career. He advised Banger to complete his college course in music in order to settle his voice and learn theory, harmony and phonetics. The audition began quite a day for the husky youth who started studying voice eight years ago and who would rather sing than eat. He later auditoned with Fred War ing’s vocal chorus and then opened the track meet at Madison Square Garden by singing the Star Span gled Banner.” Cambridge Licks Oxford In Traditional Classic HENLEY - ON-THE - THAMES.

A Byrnes Says Meeting Im possible Until Labor Bill Settled NEW YORK, Feb. 24. —CUP) — Baseball’s official representatives will return to Washington for fui ther manpower conferences after Congress completes action on work-or-else legislation, it was re vealed today. . . The form that legislation takes will decide wheather the Major Leagues will be left with enough plavers to operate in 1945. Although optimistic, William Harridge and Ford Frick, presi dents of the American and Nation al Leagues, respectively, made it plain that nothing concrete re sulted from their conference with War Mobilization Director James F. Byrnes this week. Harridge and Frick were named to represent baseball in discussions with ad ministration officials. “He (Byrnes) maintained it was impossible for intelligent discus sion of the manpower situation un 1 til the work-or-else legislation has been finally determined by Con gress.” Harridge said at Chicago. “I quite agree with him.” Harridge added that Byrnes had invited him and Frick “to return after action on the bill if we wish ed to discuss the matter with him.'’ While Harridge did not say definitely, he indicated that Byrnes' invitation will be accepted. In New York. Frick admitted that “another visit to Washington might be good policy.” “But there is no appointment,” he added. “It might be that we would make another trip after the work-or-else legislation is acted upon one way or another in Con gress. Byrnes told us that his door was always open and that he would be glad to see us.” Next to finding out how the legis lation will affect baseball man power, the most immediate concern of baseball men is to remove the stigma placed upon 4-F athletes by Washington. Without 4F's, the maj ors could not hope to operate and many athletes in that group have signified their intentions of remain ing on farms or in war plants be cause of blasts against them by Byrnes and other administration officials. Baseball men were hopeful that once Congress completes action on the manpower legislation, the status of 4-F's will be clarified so the athletes in that group need not fear public or official censure. The increased pace by which 4-F’s are being re-examined and found fit for military service has baseball men worried. In addition, many other players who held other classifications have been placed in 1-A and either are awaiting calls for examinations or inductions. In the past 10 days alone. 20 players on the roster of major league clubs have been accepted for service or have had their cases sent to Wash ington for review. At that rate -f diminishing manpower- the majors would not be able to last out a fourth wartime season. XT’ _ BOWLING ALLEYS HIT BY CURFEW WASHINGTON. Feb. 24. — WP>— The possibility of bowling alleys in industrial centers remaining open after midnight apparently was knocked out today by an announce ment of how the entertainment cur few will be eforced. The War Manpower Commission, instructing regional directors on enforcement of the 12 o'clock clos ing order Monday, said there will be only two exceptions: entertain ment for military personnel and certain restaurants. Bowling officials said yesterday that industries in war production centers had pointed out the value of after-midnight leagues for late shift workers in holding down ab senteeism. The Government had been asked to consider this factor, but today’s enforcement policy specifically covers bowling, billiard and pool establishment. Sports arenas also come under the curfew order but baseball, box ing, hockey, basketball and such events will not be seriously affect, ed since they usually end before midnight. -V JACKSONVILLE NAVY TO TACKLE LEJEUNE CAMP LEJEUNE, Feb. 24.— Jacksonville Naval Air Station and Camp Lejeune Marines will meet here Tuesday night in one of the nation's headline basketball attractions.

SN D CAPTURES NSACOLA LEAD PENSACOLA, Fla., Feb. 24 — (tP)—Sammy Snead scored a second round eight-under par 64 today to replace Harold (Jug) McSpaden as leader in the $6,500 PensacMa open golf tournament after 36-hoids of play. The Hot Springs, Va.. slammer combined near-perfect putting with his tremendous driving game to bring his two-day total to 131, three strokes better than McSpaden who slipped to a 2-under par 70 after setting the pace in the first round with a 64. Sammy, seeking his fifth winter circuit win, made 11 pars 6 birdies, and got an eagle on the 508-yard 12th hole. He was on every green in par and was consistent in sink ing short putts. McSpaden, who has a half-way total of 134, chalked up a steady string of 16 pars and a couple of birdies for a 34-36—70. Claude Harmon of Grosse Point, Mich., duplicated the 64 register-! ed by McSpaden yesterday and Snead today, and climbed into a tie with Sam Byrd, Detroit. Mich., and Craig Wood, Mamaroneck, N. Y. for a third place tie at 137. Harmon missed a 20-foot puti on the 18th hole by a fraction of an inch that would have given nim a new course record of 63. He also missed 4-foot putts on the fifth and ninth green, but holed from the same distance for an eagle on the twelfth. _t t_ MINOR CZARS BUCK MAJOR RESISTANCE NEW YORK. Feb. 24. — I/P) — Minor league baseball will insist on checks against post-war major league expansion before signing any new major-minor agreement it was indicated today as members of the 10-man revision committee headed for Chicago to open impor tant meetings Monday. Although the Chicago sessions probably -will produce nothing more than an airing of ideas, nam ing of a smaller sub-commi^ee to met with a similar group from the majors is to be expected. All recommendations will be subject to approval at the December Na tional Association convention. One prominent minor leaguer proposed that the new commission er, when named, should be the umpire to decide when minor territory could be “invaded’’ and how much should be paid. As mat. ters stand now a major club can take over a minor franchise by paying the league only $5,000 and making suitable arrangements with the individual owner dis regarding the stability of the cir cuit. The majors have indicated will ingness to arbitrate but have turn ed down each proposal sponsored by the smaller leagues. As the agreement that ties together the two groups expires January 12. 1946, some compromise nuts- be made. _rr_ ANGEL, O’BRIEN TO GRAPPLE HERE Philip Olafson, the “Swedish ^n gel,” has been signed for a re turn engagement at Thalian Hall next Friday night, and will tangle with “Texas Jack” O'Brien in :he show's main event, Promoter Bert Causey announced last night.

Feb. 24—<IP)—North Carolina’s Tar Heels, paced by a bevy of sharp-shooting forwards, captured the Southern Conference championship here tonight by nos ing out Duke’s defending Blue Devils, 49-38, before 4,000 fans in Memorial Auditorium. The game, which climaxed three days of milling by eight teams se lected to participate in the annual loop championship tournament was almost a replica of last year's finals battle, and furnished the Tar Heels sweet revenge for the 44-27 defeat they suffered in the 1944 championship contest. And, like last year, the two teams really put on a show for their fans. Aside from the fact that the loop championship was at state, the game also was the rubber match between the two teams. Duke lick ed the Tar Heels in the first of two regular season games, and North Carolina took the second by a wide margin, but that made little dif ference in tonights finals battle. The traditional rivals hooked up in earnest at the opening whistle, and each literally squeezed out points for the first 12 minutes. The score was tied no less than five times and neither team could get more than a three-point advantage until near the end of the frame. Then Jim Jordan laid i na snow bird and Don Anderson tossed in a freethrow to break a tie and send the Tar Heels out in front. 19-16 at the half. In the final period, however, the Tar Heels showed their superiority. Using a fast breaking offense ef fectively, and with John Dillon, Manny Alverez and Jim Jordan hitting the basket with regularity, the boys from Chapel Hill went out in front to Stay after breaking a 21-21 tie set up by the Blue Devils two minutes after the period got underway. Actually, Duke held the lead only once during the game. That was in the early stages of the game when the Blue Devils held for only! a moment a 9-7 advantage.
