At the next amateur show the howling was more pronounced than ever, so Kohler placed a ban on boxing which stood for years. You need look no further than the record of Relief Pitcher Jittery Joe Berry to learn why the Athletics finished in a tie for a first division spot in the American league last season. Altho he did not start a game, Joe worked 111 innings and was credited with 10 victories.

Most hitters in the circuit agree that for four or five innings the fragile workman is- unbeatable. Manager Freddy Fitzsimmons holds that the time has arrived to treat his Phillies with some respect. We are buying instead of selling players these days," explains Freddy, and within a few years should have a winner. My only hope is that 111 be managing the club when the time comes."

Says Jim Thorpe: Football is the easiest of all games to play because it requires only brute strength in most instances. Baseball is the hardest because it takes continual thinking and snap judgment; track is the finest conditioner and should be compulsory in every high school in the United States." Gil Dodds believes Gunder Hagg will do all right on board tracks.

28 Indiana university, the West-era most consistent basketball loser this season, displayed a sharp reversal of form tonight In Its final contest of the year, defeating a favorite University of Illinois quintet, 65 to 55. The victory broke an eight game losing streak for Indiana and resulted in the fourth loss in Big Nine competition for Illinois. Indiana took en 11 to 10 lead after the first seven minutes of play and never relinquished its advantage the rest of the way, holding a S3 to 28 margin at half time. The same degree of inaccuracy In field goal and free throw shooting that toppled Illinois from a contending spot in the Big Nine title race to third place in the standings was apparent tonight. Dlini Weak in Tree Throws.

While Indiana made good on 25 eld goals in 80 attempts, the mini connected on 25 out of 100. A'tho the two teams were equal in total field goals, Illinois was weak in the free throw department, scoring only five while Indiana made good on 15. 1 Kralovansky, Indiana's sophomore center from East Chicago, IndV paired with Jim Copeland in spearheading the Indiana scoring attack which started late in the first period and extended thru the final half. Kralovansky, who took the season's scoring honors for Indiana with a total of 195 points in 21 games, picked up 23 points tonight to lead the individual scoring. He was followed by Copeland with 19.

Junior Kirk Goes Scoreless. While Walt Kersulis was high scorer for Illinois with five field goals and one free throw, he missed on five free shots. Junior Kirk, high scorer for Illinois quintet, was held scoreless tonight. He was unable to NUMBER I Ileard the Town Clock Strike.

Quijano Wins Thriller. The regular customers who had attended Tuesday's heavier classes came with their eyes on the deeds of two 175 pounders Adolfo Quijano of Los Angeles, winner of five consecutive knockouts, two of them in the Tournament of Champions, and John Gulley, one of the sharpest young men to reach the big show. For most of two rounds, this talented St. Louis Negro withstood the best shots of Quijano to a point where he had the big California army air corporal baffled. Toward the end of the second round, tho, the black haired Quijano caught his foe with a brace of head punches which rocked the Missou-rian.

The latter had charge of the light to this point, but Quijano, seemingly exhausted, called on his reserve power to continue hammering John. Gulley was still in there swinging to the big crowd's applause until the finish. Quijano, who is stationed at Muroc, CaU was just as tireless, matching Gulley's "The war has taucht all of us en- when we take the Island of HaHa Tree throws missed Herrmann 2 Cope-Una r31.
