Sports Roundup By HUGH FULLERTON, JR. NEW YORK, April 21.—UPI—You can bet simost anything you want that Tuesday’s Major league meeting in Cleveland won’t bring out the name of a new baseball commiss oner. . When the news came out that Ed Barrow had turned down the job, it became pretty obvious that there was a deadlock of some kind. . . One story is that our group wants a temporary commissioner to serve until afte: the war Col. Eddie Eagan, whose four point system of scoring fights has confused a numbei of New York officials received toe suggestion from Russ L. ncii, Milwaukee Journal sports elltor. . . The Na tional Buying association is con cidering submitting a very similar plan to its member states as a uniform system for use through out the country.

A letter to John Peer of the New ark Surd. > call frem ex-sport Scribe Carl Rot?, with the Sea bees in me Marianas, says: “We had a vis:* from a troupe of sport. stars now in the Navy. A couple of dozen Majo: leaguers played exhibition games. Georgie Abrams’ boxing skill and Bobby Riggs’ tennis- shots made big hits, but the ball players didn’t mean much. Il:ey just went through the motions. We fellows out here get more kick from our 16-team soft ball league.” A JERSEY INJUSTICE Jersey Jones, ex-fight manager and pubhcitor, checks in with this remark: “Recent flattering com ments ansnt the fine refereeing of Lou Halfpenny of Baltimore prompts the observation that tal ent in the fight racket has reached such a sorry low that even a half penny is appreciated.” . . .

All-America Football Loop Closes Meeting ■ —— a,_ CHICAGO, April 21.—OT— Ignor ing a rebuff by the long-establish ed National Football League, the embryonic All-America conference today adopted $15,000 guarantee for visiting teams, $5,000 more than the 23-year-old National circuit pays. Directors of the proposed post war loop closed a two-day organi zational meeting without comment on the attitude expressed yester day by Commissioner Elmer Lay den of the National League to wards their offer to confer with him in an effort to eliminate op erational friction. Layden, apparently annoyed by the Ajll-America’s suggestion that he meet with a two man committee released a statement asserting that his league would recognize a com peting loop only when- it “gets a football and plays a game.” The All-America previously had agreed upon a $12,500 guarantee for visiting teams, but unanimous ly voted today to increase the amount to $15,000 with an option of 40 per cent of gate receipts after deduction of taxes and stadium rental. The National League operates with a $10,000 guarantee and also a 40 per cent rider. The All-Ameri ca already has placed franchises in three National League cities— New York, Chicago and Cleveland —an dalso in Buffalo, N. Y., Mia mi, Fla., Los Angeles and San Francisco. The directors also deferred ac tion on application for a franchise in Kansas City. The bid for what have been the league’s eighth franchise was made by Dr. D. M. Nigro, representing a Kansas City group, who admitted it was uncer tain whether an acceptable play ing site would be immediately available. The new circuit apparently did not transact any business with General Manager Tom Gallery of the National League’s Brooklyn Tigers, who told the press he was in the city to visit a relative and not to sound out the All-America for a franchise as hinted in some quarters. -V Spud Chandler To Play Against Catawba Nine SALISBURY, April 21.— (IP) — Spud Chandler, the former Uni versity of Georgia star, who col lareed the St. Louis Cardinals in the 1943 series by winning two games for the New York Yankees, will appear here next Friday in a Seventh War Loan exhibition game.

The severed Reich was under slashing attack in the north and south. French First Army tanks in an 18-mile dash reached the upper Danube at a point 10 miles from the Swiss frontier. Farther east the U. S. Seventh Army was only 20 miles from the river as American tanks and troops swung south on a broad front, perilling the Danubian stronghold of Ulm, sentinel city on the route to Munich, 'in Hitler’s redoubt. Ulm is 72 miles west of Munich. In between these steel spear heads, the French and Americans met southeast of Stuttgart, com pleting the encirclement of that key communications and industrial city with a population of 459,000. French trops were two and a half miles west of the city and the Americans last were reported about nine miles away on the northeast. Clear Flanks U. S. Ninth Army troops, which kicked off in a new attack west of the Elbe to clear their flanks for the climactic eastward drive, heard over their field radios Rus sian commanders leading their ar mies in the grand assault on Ber lin. A report from the front said the rumble of Russian guns at tacking the capital could be plain ly heard. While the Allies of the west mar shalled their forces for the renew ed drive the the east, furious blows were rained on the stricken Ger mans in the north and south. The U. S. Third Army drove a second wedge into Czechoslovakia, capturing the city of Asch. Seek ing to split that last Nazi arsenal country from the Alpine retreat, these troops plunged farther south where they were 55 miles west of Pilsen, biggest munitions city in Czechoslovakia. The French First Army was only eight miles from the headwaters of the Danube and 28 miles from Lake Constance, which guards the redoubt on the west. The U. S. Seventh Army, flush ed by its great victory in con quering Hitler’s shrine of Nuern berg, rolled southward 18 miles or more and was 25 miles from the Danube stronghold of 7Jlm, north ern doorway to the mountainous retreat. In the north, Hamburg’s suburb of Harburg was under assault by British troops fighting through the outskirts, Bremen was all but cut off. The Poles to the west seized Papenburg, hinge of the defense line which the Germans had form ed to protect their ports of Bre men, Wilhelmshaven and Emden. xr POLES AND REDS SIGN NEW ACCORD (Continued from Page One) received a rousing welcome there two days ago. Official British quarters were si lent, but the first London reac tion was that the reported treaty “isn’t helping” in straightening out the Polish issue. With British Foreign Secretary Eden in Washington and reported attempting with President Truman and Secretary of State Stettinius to draft a Polish compromise ac ceptable to Russia, Premier Sta lin appeared to be serving blunt advance notice that he was de termined to stand behind the re gime already established under Soviet aegis. ) Sinkwich Inducted Into Army HKgWKMK —'Wmm. mo m m ^• •'y* ry v ■ ■ Frankie Sinkwich (left), All-America football star at the Univer sity of Georgia in 1941 and 1942, is inducted into the army in the re ception center at Fort Leavenworth, Kas.

(AP Wirephoto) NEW YORK DOWNS ‘DEM BUMS’, 3-2 NEW YORK, April 21.—(M— Al though stung for 11 hits and coax ed for five bases on balls, Bill Voiselle was -as tight as a uVm in the pinches as the Brooklyn' Dodgers left 11 men on bases, to drop their second straight to the New York Giants 3-2 today before 10,260 rain-drenced fans. Steve Filipowick, ex-Fordham football herd, provided the Giants with the margin of victory with a two-run homer in the fifth inn ing. The New Yorkers scored their other run in the opening frame when Mel Ott singled in Johnny Rucked who had doubled. After wasting six hits in the first siv innings, the Dodgers finally managed to dent Voiselle with a tally in the seventh on three hits, Ed Stanky’s third single driving in Bill Hart. They tallied another in the ninth and had the sacks fill ed with two out but Dixie Walker popped out to end the game. Losing hurler Ben Chapman was nicked for all of the Giants iyne hits before giving way to Rookie Leroy Pfund in the seventh. The fame, halted three times because of a constant drizzle, marked the Giants fifth victory in six starts.

LOUIS, April 21,—UP)—'The St. Louis Cardinals took advantage of a ninth-inning lapse in the Cin cinnati defense today to score a tie-breaking run and win the opening game of their series, 3 to 2. Arnold Carter, the Reds' only lefthand pitcher, appeared to have the game tucked away on his fine seven-hit job until Marty Marion fried the lid lid off the Cardinals at the start of the final frame by rapping out a single. Emil Verbaii bunted and Steve Mesner threw wide to first, both runners being safe. Relief Pitcher Ken ' Burkha'rdt' sacrificed both runners a notch, and Augie Ber gamo walked, filling the bases and setting up the situation for the game-winning single by Johnny Hopp which was forthcoming promptly.

Meyers has challenged the Cali fornia wrestler to another mat to be staged in Thalian Hall next Friday night. Meyers, favorite of many mat fans in Wilmington, sticks strict ly to the scientific game, and contends that he should have beat en Coffield in their last match. One of his favorite features is the now famous "drop kick”, originat ed by Jumping Joe Savoldi, of Notre Dame. Here is an explanation of the “drop kick”: A wrestler springs from the ropes, leaping into the air, and plants both feet into his oppon ents jaw or chest or any other convenient anatomy. Naturally his opponent becomes groggy from the terrific jolts and is pin ned when he loses his balance. Meyers, who has conquered the technique of the murderous at tack, points out that it takes a long time to perfect the blow. Promoter Causey is bringing a new face to the local arena next Friday night. George Brockman, of Washington, D. C., weighing in at 210, will meet an opponent who will be -announced later.
