17-18 Auf. 15-16 Auf. 5-6 'Sunday games. CHICAGO, March 8 The automobile industry's drive to stimulate used car sales and speed up general business over the United Statca khould aid materially In removing from the streets thousands of unsafe cars and thus advance the cau'J of highway safety, D. D.

Feniicll, president of the National Safety Council, declared here today. "An ambitious start was mJe in January in reducing the nation's traffic accident toil," aaid Mr. Fennell. "Reports to oa-oflices show that dcatus attributable to automobile accident were 17 per cent below the same mouth in 1937. The National Used Car Exchange Week campaign should help the good wovk along by removing from the streets many unsafe cars no licensed for operation." Obsolete, inefficient, unreliable automobiles have no place on tee streets and highways of the United States, Mr.

Fennell asserted. "Such cars too often are deathtraps, both for occupants and for other motorists who are compelled to follow and meet ti.cm in traffic. National Used Car Exchange Week, being conducted this week by automobile manufacturers and dealers, should result in the removal of many, let us hope thousands, of these unsafe cars from the streets. DIXIE BASKETBALL TITLE JACKSON, March 8 The Mississippi College Choctaw of Clinton, were on top of the Dixie Conference basketball heap for the second your in a row Vlay. They retained their 1937 championship lust niirht by giving the Mercer University Bears of Macon, very definite 47 to 42 betting.

The Bears, trailing hope-lessly, spurted in the second half, drew up within two points of theii rivals and that was the. best they could do us the Choctaws went a little further away. The Rears' lanky center, Irwin poped in baskets from a long way off to pivc the Mississippinns a bad few minutes. But it was not enough. Anl Jewsom, Choctaw guard, no only played a flashy defensive game but lead his team-mutes with 15 points.

Irwin was high scorer of the night with 18 points. At the half Mississippi College led by 6 points, then boosted the margin to 8 points before the Bears growled dangerously. Just to give an added flourish to their season's work the Choctaws placed two men on the all-conference basketball team seleced for the Associated' Press by officials, sports writers and coaches. The oiher positions went to Mercer, Southwestern, and Loyola (New Oilcans). The Selections: First Team Smith, forward Lyons, forward, Loyola; Irwin, center, Mercer; Hitt, guard, Miss.

College; Ncw-som, guard, Miss. College. Second Team Herron, forward, MillSBps; Martin, forward, Mercer; Telford, guard', Howard; Whitaker guard Chattanooga. FORECLOSURE WHEKEAS, on November 15th, 1926, Willis Nero and wife, Ma-linda Nero, executed trust deed under the terms of which the NEW YORK, March 8 l) Led by Bill Speary, Impounder, 20 other Eastern Golden Glove champions are ready to meet the invasion of the Cflieago champions on March 21 at Madison Square Garden. Speary, who.

led the Philadelphia Inquirer tcarm in last night' championship bouts at the Garden, was the only champion to retain hut title in the carnival of youthful fisticuffing. He stopped Steve Bono, willing New Yorker, in 2:25 of the first round to pace three other boxer of the Inquirer team to titles, three of tnem in the open division. The coveted heavyweight open title fell to Harry (Moon) Mulling, ex-Mississippi State College star, who now boxes in New York. Mulling won two decisive victories, one over Joe Brehl, of Binghamton in the semifinals and the other over towering Abner Powell, New York negro, in the finals, to gain the title. New York boxers won 11 championships, five of them in the special sub-novice class in which no visiting boxers reached the finals, Philadelphia placed four champions on the honor role, the Hudson Despatch of Union City, N.

took three, all in the sub-novice division, while the Binghamton, N. Press lifted two crowns with Steve Kukol winning the 135-pound open championship and Phil Shea getting the decision in a whirlwind 147-pound open finale.

By Pap KKOM EAKLY indication the Greenwood Dodgers of 1938 will stack up ibetter than the Giant of 19IJ6 or 1937 to begin tne season. Manager Elmer Yotor will have more men of cxpci i- ence than Frank liraill had, and doesn't face quite such a hercu lean task as did Brazill had in developing a winning combination. Of course Brazill came through, but he really had a tough time of it with the men Bill Terry sent here.

Eight contracts have already been returned, and more arc out, with the probability they will be in within the next few days. Among those already on the dotted line are: Willard Padgett, shortstop, who was with Dayton in the Mid-Atlantic League last season, Has had three years of pro experience, with a batting average of .290 for the three years. Lilburne Odom, outfielder, also with Dayton last season. Marton Coss, left-handed pitcher, semi-pro experience, with an average of 12 strike-outs per game la.st season, won 14 games and lost 2. llays Jetleoat, semi-pro hurler from Cotton Valley, La.

Robert Salvcson, catcher ant infieldcr, from Long Beach, Cal. Thomas VV. Downey, catcher, from Chula Vista, Cal. Clarence Hack, infieldcr, from Louisville, Ky. Charley Sellers, outfielder, with Jamestown in the Northern league last season.

Several experienced pitchers are expected to return their contracts soon. Of course, it's way too early to make predictions, but we look for those "Little Dodgers'' to put up a real scrap for the Cotton States pennant this year. THE MANAGERIAL set-up in will direct the Monroe Twins, under their new set-up. Riggs Stephenson moves in at Helena in Rod Whitney's old spot. Jimmy Powell succeeds Lena Styles at Greenville, and Spike Hunter will lead Hot Springs, the new entry.

British Olympic officials, who have gone on record against hold ing the games at Tokyo in 1940, prepared to lead the fight for a change of site on the basis of yes terday's indications that Japan might not be prepared to act as host nation. War Minister General Gen Sug iyama gave the first sign that there may be a hitch in Japan's proceedings when he announced that soldiers on the active list would be forbidden to take part in the games.

He added that he believed the games should be cancelled unless the conflict in China ended. Prof. Jigoro Kano, Japanese del egate to the International Com mittee meeting, immediately pro tested that he knew no reason fot anyone to speak of abandoning the games, adding: "The Chinese war won't affect the games. You will not hear of Chinese troops landing in Japan or their planes bombing Tokyo. We will not exclude the Chinese from the games if they come, but will welcome them as sportsmen true to the Olympic spirit." Lord Abcrdare, British delegate to the I.
