Hopes To Open 1943 Season On Time major leagues relied on the old boy to remember 1 they had been slighted when December 24 rolled around, despite their string of pennants and World Series victories in the American League.

Impresarios in other fields thought this hocus-pocus Santa stuff would enrich their coffers. Everyone seemed in a mood to receive larger profits. And so, this day before Christmas was regarded as momentous moment. What would the new year bring? There's only one Christmas present America wants today victory, decisive victory for Uncle Sam and the Allies. The sooner the better for all concerned.

Pennant prospects for any ball club in 1943 lade to utter insignificance compared with Uncle Sam's assignment Yes, for baseball, and all sports. NEW YORK, Dec. 24. (U. At a time when all major league club owners are abandoning Florida and California training sites in favor of camps closer to home, President Ford Frick of the National League announced today that this curtailment of spring travel does not mean the 1943 major league baseball playing season will be curtailed, though plans are being made-to cut down travel wherever possible.

Frick said that at this time he can see no reason for postponement of the opening and he expressed confidence that the 1943 National and American Leagues will get under way on scheduled time.

The baseballers keep in close touch with daily war bulletins. You see, they're not positive about completing next year's schedule and, when they open their gates, how about transportation problems for the players and the public alike? There's this pica for civilian morale relative to sports attractions. Fair enough, but this conductor awards first consideration to the bovs in service and to those homes decorated with stars in their windows."

When that day arrives, the crushing defeat for the Axis, then we'll see a Merry Christmas that will surpass any previous celebration, including that memorable November 11, 1918. Meanwhile, sports ranks will be depleted. Our boys are moving at a rapid clip from professions in all walks of life to training bases.

Several fields have been forced to close doors because of manpower shortage this year. Others are certain to follow suit. Uncle Sam has preference for his talent.

S. Baseball Uniforms Arc Familiar To North Africans Comeback Opened By Galento! BY JACK CUDDY. NEW YORK, Dec. 24. (U.

Consternation cascaded into Still-man's Gymnasium when utterly without warning that former stormy petrel of the heavyweight division, "Two-Ton" Tony Galento, officially launched a comeback campaign yes terday by popping out of a dressing cubicle and going through a 12- round workout. The wise boys of Lammers' Lane at first wanted to know, "What's da gag," But when Deadpan Johnny Burke, Galento's trainer, assured them, "There ain't no gag; Tony's makin' a comeback" the wise boys started figuring. And Fat Galento, the beer barrel that walks like a man, helped them with their arithmetic. While skipping the rope with elephantine grace, he gruntingly informed: "I'm comin' back, boys. I ain't kiddin', I'm only 32 years old, and I kin lick any heavyweight in the business, including Louis with a coupl'a weeks trainin.

I'll mow down those bums and fight Louis for nothin' just to get the title." The side of the mouth-talking guys took Galento's statements with a grain of epsom salts, and snickered when the fat man in the black tights and white sweatshirt ad vanced upon $he little pear-shaped punching bag. But their snickers faded, and they watched pop-eyed as he "moidered" the noisy target. His machine-gun work on that bag made the colleagues of Cauliflower Canyon believe Tony was in good shape. It's true, folks Galento is attempting a comeback. But apparently these bravos of punch had forgotten that Signor Galento the rotund pub proprietor of Orange, N.

J. is perhaps the most expert bag-puncher the heavy division ever knew. Galento could punch the bag impressively, while asleep. When Galento first started playing handball, he wasn't certain that he wanted to stage a comeback, but, "when I seen that Mauriello-Nova fight at the Garden a couple of weeks ago, I says to myself I could knock both of them out in the''same night with a coupla fast left hooks," he said. Fat Tony, who has restricted his activities to operating his Orange cocktail lounge since being stopped by Buddy Baer in April, 1941, said he would take on his comeback six weeks hence no opponents barred.

Then he would cut through the current crop of heavies like a tank. Camel Pin Squad Takes Classic Lead The Camels moved into first place in the Women's Classic Bowling League last night by blanking the Mulligans at the Grand-Park Bowling Center.

He was an Ail-American three times, although during most of his career from 1926 through 1929 the Army's opponents knew he was the only man they had to stop.

There seldom was anybody back there to feint with, and Cagle had to get up and go if the Army was to move ahead, with the result that the things he did still brings a sparkle to the eyes of those who watched him. The finest tribute to him has come from Col. Biff Jones, now the graduate manager at West Point, who was the football coach during the Cagle era. "Red was a sportsman through and through his life as one of West Point's immortal football players was the pattern of existance for thousands of hero-worshiping American young boys," Col. Jones said in part.

Duquesne University's basketeers overcame their first major test of the season here last night as they defeated a fighting Wyoming squad, 43-33, for their fourth consecutive victory. The teams, representing two of the nation's leading basketball pow ers, battled it out neck-and-neck for the first few minutes of play before the Dukes were able to pull away, and pile up a 26-17 lead at the half.

The Cowboys were paced by Center Milo Komenich, who plummeted the ball into the basket for 15 points. Leading scorer for the Dukes was Forward Joe Canterna with nine points.

Frick pointed out that it now appears as though no clubs will train In Florida, California or Texas, the Bill DeWitt. locations singled out by ODT Director Joseph B. Eastman, in his letter to the baseball magnates, asking them to cut down travel to spring training bases. The National League chieftain added, though, that so far, the Cincinnati Reds are the only club that has not given up its Florida training base. Browns Still Uncertain.

A complete resume of the major league training camp situation at this time follows: BROWNS Anaheim, spring camp has been abandoned but General Manager Wm. O. DeWitt says the club hasn't definitely decided on its 1943 training site. "We're keeping in close contact with the Pittsburgh Pirates and we'll probably decide to train at the same place, probably Hot Springs, Ark," he explained. "Blake Harper (Sportsman's Park concessionaire) is at Hot Springs and he reports that accommodation are adequate for our training there." CARDINAL President Sam Breadon has announced that the Cards' St.

Petersburg, base has been dropped and that the club's most likely training site is Albany, where the Cardinals operate a farm club. Breadon will keep in touch with President Ed Barrow of the New York Yankees, so that the two clubs which had shared the St. Petersburg camp for many years, will be able to do likewise at a newly-selected spot. YANKEES The 1943 trip to Florida is definitely off; negotiations are under way to train with the Cardinals in some Georgia location, probably Albany. RED SOX AND BRAVES In a dual announcement, President Bob Quinn of the Braves and General Manager Eddie Collins of the Red Sox stated both Boston clubs would give up their Florida training camps.

The Sox are not sure where they will train, but Quinn, who earlier had stood p-- on Sanford, named such Carolina localities as Rocky Mount, Charlotte, Winston Salem, Gastonia, Wilson or Greensboro as likely conditioning places. REDS "We have an alternate site in mind, but so far the Reds haven't given up the idea of training in Tampa, next spring," General Manager Warren Giles of the Cincinnati Reds commented today. CUBS AND WHITE SOX -Both Chicago clubs have given up their California locations, but neither has struck upon a suitable substitute. "We're considering a dozen places and won't make an announcement until after the first of the year," commented General Manager Jimmy Gallagher of the Cubs, who Is reported leaning toward French Lick Springs, Ind. "It hasn't been too long since the White Sox trained at Excelsior Springs, said Vice President Harry Grabiner of the Sox, who expressed confidence his team would find a suit able midwest training spot.

SENATORS "I have a confer-j price scheduled with ODT Director Eastman after the first of the year," remarked President Clark Griffith of the Senators today, "and I had been awaiting the outcome of that meeting to decide where my club will train. since all club owners have received bulletins from Commissioner Kenesaw Landis, asking us to train nearer home, IH announce that Washington won't train at Orlando, Fla." Calvin Griffith. Clark's adopted son, is spending the holidays with his wife's family in Charlotte, N. where the Senators own a farm club. He has tentatively arranged for hotel quarters for the Senators and has inspected the ball field there.

DODGERS General Manager Branch Rickey has ruled out all plans of the club to train in Florida or Cuba. Harold F. Woodcock, Yale University's business manager, has offered the Dodgers use of Yale's huge Coxe Memorial cage and facilities in the Yale Fieldhouse pro-Tiding the Army does not requisition them. INDIANS "Because of wartime transportation conditions," President Alva Bradley announced today, (J Tribe will not train at Clearwater, however. If we train close to home, we'd probably have to train indoors because of extreme cold weather on the shores of Lake Erie." ATHLETICS First team to se lect a camp outside of Florida or California.

President Connie Mack has named Savannah, as the A's spring home. Finances Worry Phils. PHILS President Gerry Nugent is struggling more with the club's financial problems than its spring training plans. However, he did announce that the Phils would abandon their Florida camp and condition closer to home. GIANTS "We don't know, just yet, where we'll train, but it won't be in Florida," President Horace Stoneham pointed out today.

The club had entertained ideas of training farther north than their original base, Miami, but the spot in mind, Jacksonville, where the Giants maintain farm connections, also happens to be in Florida, a state on Director Eastman's blacklist. TIGERS "We are willing to cooperate and will go so far as to train in Detroit if necessary," General Manager Jack Zeller remarked in announcing that he had given up the club's original training site at Lakeland, Fla. PIRATES "Our trip to California is off," Pittsburgh President Bill Benswahger olghed today. "Just now, it looks like Hot Springs, will be our spring address. We hope to train with the Browns, and reports from that place indicate Hot Springs is ideal as an alternate site." 200 Bowlers Entered In Catanzaro Meet More than 200 bowlers have entered the Judge Catanzaro bowling tournament which will be held from Saturday until January 3.

N. S.I Sergt. Joe Louis, on furlough from Ft. Riley, where he is boxing instructor, said today he had found no potential future champions among his pupils. "They're good, tough boys and good soldiers," he said, "but I haven't found any championship material among 'em yet.

Among the various duties of the heavyweight champion at Ft. Riley is that of teaching the soldiers "trick punches" that may stand them in good stead in fighting Japs and Germans. Joe arrived in Chicago yesterday to spend Christmas with his wife, the former Marva Trotter, who is expecting the stork about January 15. His mother, Mrs. Lily Brooks, came to Chicago from Detroit to meet him.

They will go to Detroit Saturday. Louis looked In excellent condi tion, and said he now weighs 220 pounds, about 15 pounds above his fighting weight. Comebach Paralysis Victim Notv Grid Star SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 24. (I.

N. To 43 members of the east west grid squads who clash in Kezar Stadium New Year's Day for bene fit of the Shrine's infantile pa ralysis fund, it will be a football game for glory and sweet charity. To the west's Alyn Beals, Santa Clara star end and one of the coast's greatest pass receivers, it will be the payment of a boyhood debt. Beals is perhaps the only boy ever to play in the annual classic who himself was a victim of infantile paralysis as a youngster. To look at him now, one never would know that Beals was once a "crippled kid." With the same fight he showed in winning back to health, the Santa Clara flash made himself one of the all-time greats of coast football last season and was one of the region's few grld- sters even mentioned for All America honors.

So far as All-America laurels go Beals will hold up the west's honor alone against four such stalwarts boasted vby the east squad. These are Schreiner of Wisconsin, Wis tert of Michigan, Wildung of Minnesota and Dove of Notre Dame. Ratings strength of schedule, unexpected scores due to injuries or other fac tors, scoring differences, were among the factors closely consid ered.
