The contest, which now lists Duke as a 3-1 favorite, will be handled by the coast officials and everything will be the same but the weather.

U. boxing tourna ment stages its second set of fights.

The titlists listed for action are Charley Burley of Chester, who succeeded Al Tribuani as 147-pound champion In the tourney held at Chester last year, and Marvin Brown, 135-pound titlist from Ray Morris East Side Boys Club. Burley, handled by Bill Tobin, who also manages Jimmy Moore in the pro ranks, is facing some stern opposition this year and this division shapes up as one of the best of the entire tournament. Two of Burley's fellow townsmen shape up as strong challengers. They are Mickey Watson, a southpaw puncher who is being groomed by Joey Fletcher of the St. Hedwig's Catholic Club of Chester, and Gump Richards who will carry the colors of the Lloyd A.

C. Richards defeated Humbert Dilenno in a hard-fought special bout last week. The East Side Boys Club has two entries in this division, Reginald Brown, hard-hitting brother of Marvin, and Alexis Bayard. Brown Is regarded as a distinct threat to Burley by Trainer Ray Morris. Brown resumed training several months ago especially for the tourney after about a year's inactivity.

In the summer of 1940 he was a great favorite with T. and C. A. A. simon-pure patrons for his two bitterly-fought bouts with Herb White of Philadelphia.

In addition to the two open classes, four sub-novice classes are listed for action. They are the 135-pound, the 118-pound, the 160, and 175-pound classes. The complete card will not be made up until Thursday night when Frank Percival, the Middle Atlantic A. A. U.

boxing secretary, will pair the boys off. Percival plans to arrange nine bouts with less hindrance in weight-making experienced by the entries after a week of training since last Thursday night. Huskies Thump Y. M. H.

4 28 The Sporting Thing Danny Fortmann Chicago Bears' captain and All-National Football League guard, smart as he is rugged. Lee and Feller Share League Mound Honors White Sox Hurler Leads Earned -Runs Division; Gomez Does Comeback CHICAGO, Dec. 16 M5). A quick glance down the "games won" column of the American League's official 1941 pitching records, re leased today, shows Thornton Lee of the Chicago White Sox and Bobby Feller of the Cleveland Indians as the top men. Feller with 25 triumphs and Lee with 22.

But the statistics reveal a dozen other heroes of the mound. There was Vernon (Lefty) Gomez of the New York Yankees, winner of only three of six decisions in 1940, who came back to take 15 and lose five last summer. And Young Heber Newsome- of Boston, who came within one triumph of reaching the 20-games-won circle. Veteran Charley Ruffing of the Yankees again rated high in the percentages with 15 wins and six losses. Alejandro Carrasquel of Washington took six of eight decisions, and Johnny Murphy of the Yanks compiled eight wins against three defeats, appearing in 35 games principally in relief roles.

Topping all hurlers on a won-lost basis was Norman Branch of the Yanks, who earned five victories and had only one defeat. He worked In 27 games. Johnny Humphries of the White Sox led the list on an earned-runs basis, allowing only 1.85 scores per nine innings pitched, but he was in only 14 games. Actually the leader in eamed-runs was Lee, the White Sox lefty, who yielded 2.37 runs per full game and worked 35 contests or. 300 innings.

Lee and Feller both reached the 300-innings pitched level, the Indians' ace hurling 343 frames. This marked the first time since 1927 that two American League hurlers achieved this select circle in the same season. Feller pitched to the most batters, 1,254. Lee faced 1.113 and Emil Leonard of Washington, 1005. Feller also allowed the most hits, 284, but the most runs were the 150 scored off Eldon Auker of St.

Lcuis. Auker also gave up the most earned runs, 132. Feller led both on strikeouts and walks. He fanned 260, as compared with 175 by Buck Newsom of Detroit, and passed 194, followed by Harold Newhouser cf Detroit with 137. Charged with hitting the most bat terssevenwas Heber Newsome.

There was not a single no-hit, no-run game, although there was one one-hitter. The Chicago White Sox perhaps set a league record for having their pitchers complete games. In 106 contests the Sox mcundsman went the route. Lee hurled 30 complete games, Edgar Smith 21, Ted Lyons 19, and Johnny Rigney 18. The White Sox, who finished third in the standings, were first in team earned run averages with 3.52 per game.

Yankee hurlers yielded an average of 3.53, runs per nine innings and Cleveland's hurlers hung up a 3.90 mark. The most earned runs allowed were 4.83 by pitchers of the Philadelphia Athletics.

Paul Chadick, Wilmington's outstanding basketball player, will be lost to the Wilmington Blue Bombers for the remainder of the American Basketball League season.

Chadick is employed at the Sua Shipbuilding Co. in Chester, which holds a franchise In the Delaware River Basketball League and as the league plays on Wednesday nights, Chadick now finds it impossible to divide his services between the two teams. Chadick has played In the majority of Blue Bomber games and has given a good account of himself in every game In which he has seen action. Chadick's loss comes on the eve of tomorrow night's tussle with the leading Trenton Tigers who come here for their second meeting with the Wilmington team. In the first meeting the Tigers walloped the Bombers 40-22.

The league leadership will be at stake in tomorrow night's contest. The Tigers have played only two games but copped them both, while the Bombers are currently holding second place with four victories against two defeats. Victory tomorrow night will give Coach Barney Sedran's team the top rung with a percentage of .714 and drop the Tigers to second place with .667. The Tigers are the only combi nation which handed the Bombers a decisive defeat in league competi tion. The only other reverse came at hands of Washington Brewers the league inaugural here, Mack Posnack's crew prevailing in an extra-period tussle.

The Bombers are currently riding a three-game victory streak which was compiled in last week's competition when the New York Jewels, Washington, and the Sphas were beaten within four nights. team was sparked in these victories by the sensational scoring Chick Reiser, the former Pratt Institute star, who was runnerup Petey Rosenberg of the Sphas individual scoring honors last year. Reiser's total for the last three games is 32 points, almost 11 per contest. He has had able assistance from Bernie Fliegel and Sam Kaplan, and with Ed Sadowski now rounding into the form predicted for him, the Bombers shape up as the club to beat for the first half title in the circuit. Ace of the visiting Tigers Is Meyer (Mike) Bloom, towering center from Temple University, rated one of the best pivots in the coun during his collegiate days.

Bloom, a Trenton boy, scored .11 points as the Tigers routed the Bombers in their first meeting. 'Frisco Open Restored After Stormy Session SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 16 The $5,000 San Francisco Open golf championship, scheduled for Jan. 21-25 at the California Golf Club, was back on the calendar today af ter a hot meeting of the directors the San Francisco Junior Chamber of Commerce, sponsor of the event. Because of the army thumbs- down attitude toward large gatherings of civilians, President Murray Draper of the junior chamber called off the 72-hole medal play event earlier this week.

However, chamber officials declared that they had army assurances that the current ban upon big athletic shows does not include golf matches, because the gallery undoubtedly will not exceed the military maximum of 10,000. The chamber still has to get an official okay for rescheduling from Fred Corcoran, P. G. A. tournament bureau chairman, who reported several cities were eager to take over the tourney after cancellation was announced.

East-West Grid Game Goes to New Orleans CHICAGO. Dec. 16 (). Andy Kerr of Colgate University announced today that the annual East-West football game will be played at New Orleans Jan. 3, 1942, Instead of San Francisco, Jan.

1. Kerr, who with Bernie Bierman of Minnesota, and Dudley de Groot of the University of Rochester, coaches the East squad, said the game, removed from the west coast because of the war. would be played in University's stadium, and in cooperation with Sugar Bowl sports carnival. Kerr said that climate was the de termining factor in moving the game to New Orleans rather than to one of the several northern cities which bid for the fame. 1,400 Horses at 'Anita Have No Place to Go SAN FRANCISCO, Dec.

16 (INS). The dogs of war took another big bite out of California's sports picture today, with cancellation of the Santa Anita and Bay Meadows horse racing meets. There remained some hope that the tracks may be allowed to open at a later date, as the army has made clear that its bans on large gatherings are "not permanent, or even for the duration of the emergency." The paddocks and barns at Santa Anita were the scene of confusion, as horse owners and trainers debated what to do with the 1,400 horses currently stabled there.

Dec. 16 CP). The scene of football's oldest and biggest extravaganza the Rose Bowl game shifted cross country today to the land of tobacco. War cancelled the big New Year's Day contest between Duke University and Oregon State as far as the huge Rose Bowl stadium, the tournament of Roses and Pasadena are concerned. There was little doubt that the game would be played here Jan.

1. Gov. J. M. Broughton of North Carolina personally intervened and assured Washington officials that the game would not interfere with the state's defense program.

He then announced, "I think the army will give its permission." Military expediency demanded blackout of the game on the California coast. Sixty thousand tickets had been sold for approximately $264,000. Rose Bowl officials hope to recover at Durham $30,000 spent on game preliminaries. Fast on the heels of the announcement that the game would be played here as an official Rose Bowl engagement, came word from civic leaders that a celebration though not as elaborate as the Tournament of Roses and Pasadena was in the making. Duke stadium will seat more than 50,000 persons and tickets will sell for $4.40 apiece.

The Tournament of Roses will get its cut and probably determine how the remainder will be divided. With Lou Little, head football coach at Columbia University, looking on, the Blue Devils yesterday had one of their peppiest workouts of the season. Little was especially interested in Coach Wallace Wade's defensive tactics. From Corvallis. came word that Oregon State's Beavers probably would leave Friday for Durham.

Coach Lon Stiner said the transfer to the east coast would make the task more difficult but "we 11 be in there doing our best even with these added odds against us." Keller's Counted NEW YORK (NEA). Charley Keller's 33 home runs for the Yan- kp epaenn crrvrpri fi? rime Tori For that matter, it's hard to say how much college football will be played next season although athletic authorities in all institutions are planning to continue. Sports took it on the chin locally last week and there isn anything to attribute it to but the war.

His players expect to concede weight, height and experi ence. Yet Holman has never refused to schedule an opponent at any stage of the campaign because it was too powerful. As a teacher of basketball, Hoi man is unsurpassed. This is shown by the fact that there are more City College players in the American Professional Basketball League than from any other school. Holman's books and articles on and moving pictures of the game serve as primers wherever the sport' Is played.

He is in demand as a lec turer. Unlike the bulk of coaches, Hoi man will not sacrifice technique and quick passing for height. His fast- moving style of play, using pivots in all sections of the offensive floor, has found enthusiastic followers throughout the country. It is fitting that as he approaches the quarter-century mark as head coach of one institution, Holman may realize his fondest dream that of having an unbeaten campaign.

Calling the Turn By DICK RINARD The Payoff Watching City College of New York come from behind after a discouraging start to beat a bigger and taller Oklahoma A. and M. team at Madison Square Garden, you realized more than ever that the boy wonder of 24 years ago has become the old master. In 1917, a callow youth who was barely 21, but whose name was on every baseball follower's lips the nation over, came to City College as coach of soccer and junior varsity basketball.

Everyone knew Nat Holman, as captain and star of the Original Celtics, was one of basketball's greatest players but many doubted his ability to coach. Named varsity basketball coach in 1919, Holman quickly dispelled any lingering notion that he might not be able to teach as well as he played. He was one of a handful who attracted attention as basketball coaches during a long period when that profession drew little recognition. City College has always met the strongest opposition collegiate ranks could provide, and Holman's record to date is 254 victories against 74 defeats, an average of .774. This is remarkable, not only in its consistency, for none of his teams have fallen below the .500 mark, but in view of the fact that he has never gotten top-flight material.

Many bright prospects have foundered on City College's rigid scholastic shoals. It is difficult to hold practice due to heavy academic programs. Holman's teams pick up momen- Racing- Notes By Associated Press Monte Weil will tell you that he is a well man today because he couldn't sell his animals at what he thought was a fair price.

"Risht then and there," declares Weil, 'I decided I'd get up and show those fellows a thing or two.

That was my turning point and now I am eternally grateful to the fellows who wouldn't buy," Since then Well's entries have won 26 races and he recently added to his string by buying Guest Star from Alfred Vanderbilt and Peace Puff and Alliance from Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitney.

Danny DiPace was the Syracuse star as the Orange quintet downed Manhattan last Saturday night. Danny's two field goals and a foul toss in the final minutes enabled Syracuse to beat off a strong Jasper challenge.

Lou Brooks was robbed of a soft touch in Baltimore last night when the show in which he was pitted against Jorge Brescia was cancelled because the Argentinian hurt his hand. Baltimore promoters are endeavoring to find another opponent for Brooks. The Blue Bombers get a 10-day lay-off after tomorrow night's game with the Trenton Tigers at the Armory.
