on Card Cliff Gustafson. the Gonrlck potato merchant, and the guy Ed "Strangler Lewis thinks Is the world's greatest wrestler, goes up against the toughest opposition of his career at the auditorium one week from tonight, when he clashes with Abe "King Kong" Kashey. Kashey. known variously as the "Sinister Syrian" and the "Assassin," is one of the toughest, roughest, hardest hitting wrestlers in the world today. He has scattered wrestlers from coast to coast and turns loose every illegal act In the book '-with equal abandon.

He fears no grappier and delights in tearing down great reputations. He is a main eventer in big mat centers, and only recently gave Bronko Nagurski the hardest match of his career. Lewis wasn't too anxious to accept Kashey as an opponent for Gustafson but the bij Syrian challenged him and Lewis was forced to accept. i "Gustafson might be a terror to some guys, but he's just another wrestler to me. I'll thrry him what a real terror looks Kashey said as he signed.

Lewis made another interesting match when he signed Eddie "Bad Boy" Lewis. Chicago demon, to tangle again with Chico Saizar, fiery little Mexican. These two almost tore' the place apart last week and will try to 6ettle matters again with this duel. Another match, now in the making, will be announced soon.

(AP) The war department is investigating allegations by Rep. Melvin Price (D-I11A that professional athletes are being inducted into the army even thoueh thev cannot meet the phi'si-" cal requirements. Price, who termed this "rank discrimination," said Thursday he had protested and received a letter, from Undersecretary of War Patterson stating: "I have asked the inspector general (Major General Virgil L. Peterson) to make an Investigation into the manner in which the war department directives in regard to induction of professional athletes are being administered." Price told a reporter that he made a personal study which convinced him that "athletes have-been and are being discriminated against, especially baseball players." "The war department has assured me that tnese directives will be changed," Price said, "what we now want to know specifically is what the nature of the war department's action will in eliminating this discrimination." One regulation provides that when any professional athlete is rejected on account of physical condition his case must -be sent to Washing- ion for review. "There is no doubt about discrimination and that this war department regulation is being applied in extreme cases rather than borderline cases as originally intended." Price said.

"The history of many of these cases is that athletes are automatically inducted regardless of their physical condition." Price declared that he is "not ask ing for a special break for athletes but only a fair deal No man should be inducted if he is legiti mately 4F but in some instances athletes have been inducted without even their classification being changed from 4P."

Mulbry, his senate secretary, as successor to O'Connor. Chandler asserted at his first Chicago press conference that he had decided to establish his Office in Cincinnati, probably at the Netherland Plaza hotel. O'Connor, who told newsmen he would serve aS Chandler's assistant for one year, will continue to run the Chicago office until it is closed. Mulbry will be in charge of the Cincinnati office until Chandler winds up his senate job. Chandler said that the state of international affairs might keep him in Washington longer than he anticipated and pointed out that Landis did not resign from his federal bench until a year and a half after his election as commissioner.

"I won't draw salaries for both Jobs," he' added. When he was elected commissioner by the bij league club owners in Cleveland' April 24, Chandler had estimated he would sign his seven-year contract within 30 to 60 days. He declared he would keep the gams "free from race-track gam-gling or any other kind of gamtling." He premised to "drive out of baseball forever" any players guilty of fixing. "Judge Landis was able to do it." he said, "and I'm determined to keep the game as Questioned by a representative of the Chicago Defender, negro newspaper, about negro' players in the major leagues.

The Phils' general manager also predicted that more than half of the World war II veterans who formerly played major league basaball will be able to make successful comebacks.

In their 10 games so far, they have scored 10 runs once against Chicago and seven runs against Detroit on opening day. They have been shut out twice, scored three runs three times, and in their other games have scored one run, two runs and four runs. Thus, to games, the Brown pitchers cannot give up more than two runs safely.

It's significant that the Detroit' Tigers, who have become the favorites for the junior loop flag, have been showing the pitching that wins the close ones.

(UP) The St. Louis Browns, who almost made nervous wrecks of millions of American baseball fans last year before winning the American league pennant the hard way. are doing it even harder this season by losing instead of winning the close ones. With the possible exception of the colorful Brooklyn "Bums" of 1941. no team ever had more public support and sympathy than the 1944 Browns.

The team was the only one in the major leagues which never had won a pennant, and fans all over the country "sweat it out" with Luke Sewell's boys each day as they came up with eighth-inning and ninth-inning rallies for victory by one or two runs. This year the close victories are going to the other teams. The Browns have lost six of their 10 games. Four losses have been by one run, two of them in extra Innings. One loss was by two run and the other a thorough 11-0 shellacking by Detroit.

In only three games has the starting Brown pitcher been able to finish. Sig Jakuckl won the opening game, a six-hit 7-tc 1 job on Detroit; Nelson Potter lost a 1-0 game to Detroit two days later and Potter won over Cleveland on April 25 by a 4-3 score. It is this pitching uncertainty which bodes 111 for the Browiis and the nervous systems of who want them to repeat. Tha defending American league champions are not a heavy-hitting team. They won the flag last year on spirit, good pitching and an average attack.

They still have the spirit and the Paul Waner GVef Release byYanRs NEW YORK. May 3. (AP) Paul (Big Poison) Waner was handed his unconditional release today by the New York Yankees on the eve of their first long trip of the 1945 season.

He walked his only time up In the '45 campaign. He was the elder brother of the famous brother team that played the outfield for Pittsburgh in the 1927-40 era. During his 20-year big league career, Waner collected 3,152 hits, scored 100 or more runs in nine seasons, set a modern record by getting 200 or more! hits in a season for the eighth time In 1937, made six. hits in six successive at bats In 1928 and led the league In batting In 1927, 1934 and 1936.
