Promoters of late season track meets, accustomed in other years to put theii' show across through the presentation of "naturals" that developed In the course of the board floor campaigns, are keeping their finger crossed. By this expedient, they hope (1) to bring Gunder Haag here in good condition to run late In February and in March, and (2) to develop a world's record masher with gate appeal, who, so far, shows no signs of putting in an appearance.

NO MILE THREAT. Jim Rafferty, a 29 year old 4-F with a double hernia and complications, is the first headliner developed by the indoor campaign. He is a miler. which is the usual prerequisite for stardom on the one of the few now active who measures up closely to prewar standards. Yet he lacks the one thing that has enabled other mile headliners to weave a hypnotic spell over the track multitudes.

He is no threat to the world'! indoor mile record of 4:06.4. You have to be a threat or th customers don't go for you. It is in full realization of this fact that Frank Brennan, meet director for the New York Chapter, K. of is hoping to see some new development. Rafferty will decorate a good track card, but he isn't enough, all alone, to pack 'em in.

QUALITY LOW. On the other hand, promoters of all sports events in the current indoor season have come to the conclusion that all you need to do is name the date and the price of admission. The rest, they have found, takes care of itself. Now that they have the money to spend on It, they are taking in more sports than ever before. And, it might be added, sports are taking them in more than ever before.

The quality is low and sometimes the competition isn't all that it should be, but the prices of admission are penerally higher than ever. parts for Twelfth Naval District quints. Livermore Naval Air Station opens the tourney at 4:30 p. m. against Shoemaker Transient Per sonnel.

Shamrocks Slugged, 11-4 (Reprinted from TeMrday'i Lata Edition) Hollywood Wolves humiliated the San Francisco Shamrocks in the final of the Par-ifir rVinat rLeaeue ice hockey season last night ai winceriana, ll to 4. The efforts of Ray Covert were alone sufficient to bring about the defeat of the local sextet. He scored five goals to tie the season's mark of Charley Sands, player coach of the Pasadena Panthers and Ken Clarkson of the Shamrocks.

At no stage of the uneven contest were the Shamrocks equal to what amounted to the Wolves' best performance of the year. Ironically, the Wolves were eliminated from the semifinals In the southern division of the league. The summary: Mollywnod flrlhble a Bliss Lfott Mulllns "rown Hill Clark-son Asmundson P. Lon.

BETTEN Statistics direct from Lassen County sources indicate that ap proximately 1,200 blacktail deer and 400 mule deer were taken In or immediately adjacent to the Lassen National Forest last season by more than 10,000 hunters, a largte proportion being: local nimrods. A noticeable increase in the number of coyotes and bobcats is re ported, particularly in the northern precincts of the Forest. The take of bobcats by trappers has about doubled in the last year, indicating a great increase in the cat popula tion. The winter concentration of blacktail deer in the foothill sections of Lassen County was estimated to be about 12,000 head or about fifty-four head for every square mile. Grouse and quail showed signs of an increase last year and it is hoped that grouse will continue to mul tiply to an extent California may again have an open season on these fine game birds.

Three species of grouse are in digenous to this State the sage hen, the blue or dusky grouse and the western ruffed grouse. Eddie Wolf, chief bos'n mate, TT. S. an old fishing pal of many San Francisco sportsmen, sends a brief V-mail to let us know that all goes well with him. He writes: "Dear H.

Sportsmen have little conception ff the tremendous numbers of the highly predatory crows which men- see came birds, their eggs ana their young in our northern tier of States and on the Canadian breed ing grounds. On a single area in Manitoba, designated as Ducks Unlimited Big Grass Marsh Duck factory jno. 37,744 crow eggs and 2,741 pairs of crow feet have been taken since the start of the crow control in that sector.

Altogether the activities of Ducks Unlimited have liquidated about two million crows on the duck fac tories of this organization in Canada. It is believed that an additional 10,000,000 crows must be destroyed along their lines of migratory flight in order to fairly control their terrific inroads on the stocks of waterfowl and upland gamp birds, Newsboy Millich faces his first test since making a comeback Wednesday night in Oakland when he takes on hard-hitting Billy "Smith, colored light heavy weight. Millich has beaten a number of inferior opponents and believes ho is now ready to oppose top-nctch opponents. Smith's best performance since he came out of the Army was against Jack Chase, the second time they met in Oakland. He handed Jack a severe drubbing.

George Millich, brother of the main eventer, is paired with Ira Hughes in the six-round semifinal. Hollywood Five Upset (Repriuird from Yesterday's Late Kdltlon) Twentieth Century-Fox, en route to the national AAU basketball tournament of Denver where it will be among the top lavorites, was up set last night by a San Francisco AH-Star aggregation at Kezar Pa vilion, 40 to 39.

So Irving wandered out to Flushing to see Murphy who will be 83 years old in October. Murphy wasn't in; he was out on his bicycle. Even in these days, unless the snow is too deep and slushy, he rides an hour every day. 195 ACCIDENTS.

We called the Police Department to check on Murphy and found that Murphy took up policing after his famous ride on th board track laid between the rails on Hempstead plains. He had been a salesman and joined the force in 1901. He was soon put on a motorcycle and in 1916 was transferred to the bridge, where he still rode his mo torcycle and where he had many of the 195 accidents he suffered in his stay in uniform. He retired on order of a sur geon's certificate early in 1917, with a great collection of departmental recommendations. Many were the times that Mile-a-Minute caught up with a runaway horse and saved a life.

Many were the times that he rescued fellows from deep wells and from burning buildings. Jim Casey In Feature The Bill Hanson-Jim Casey head' liner on tomorrow night's wrestling program at the Civic Auditorium is scheduled for the one hour time limit, two out of three falls deciding the winner. But there are three other matches on Promoter Joe Malcewicz' card, any one which could overshadow the feature bout, John Katan, the Russian strong man who scored over "Flash" Rogers, in his debut tackles "Wild Bill" Bartush. J80 pound Chicagoan; Ray Steele, the veteran St. Louis "Scissors King" vs.

Jim Henry, massive Texan, and Abie Coleman vs. Hans Schultz. tall tale in four But in his case that covers plenty of territory. There's no fighter of his weight in the country who com pares with him when it comes to dealing out dynamite ladened blows. Tonight in Civic Auditorium and before a capacity crowd, Burley will strive to explode his lethal wallops on Joe Carter, the Rome, N.

Y. colored man, known for his ability as boxer and slugger. They're betting, at odds of 10 to 7, that the puncher wins. Not every one of course, thinks it will turn out that way. A number of shrewd observers figure it the other way around.

They argue that Burley won't get a clean shot at Joe's whiskers. Moreover, they maintain that if he does, Carter will take it without going to pieces. Aaron Wade smacked Carter, not once, but several times flush on the button. Nothing happened to Car ter. But it did to Wade.

Joe merely tore into his huskier foe to give him a complete massaging. DECEPTIVE FELLOW. Burley, at times, appears ama teurish in his actions. He'll lead with a feeble right as a feint, and then he'll bang with everything he has in a follow up left hook, which he can place either effectively to the body or head. Jack Chase's tantalizing jabs bothered Burley as he tried vainly to get the range for a finisher.

As you sat there watching him you knew that some time during the battle he would eventually catch up with his elusive rival. But it didn't happen until the twelfth round. Then like a bolt from the blue one of Burley's rights clipped Chase on the chin. He woDDiea on shaKy pins until a volley of whistling punches stretehea, him out lor the lull count. As a finisher Burley doesn't seem to have an equal in the middle weight class.

We wouldn't say he's reckless with his attack. He lets punches fly so fast that the recipient, whether he is hit on the head, body or shoulders, suffers from the impact of the devastating blows. CUTTING -TAB. Carter has a cutting, jolting jab, a weapon which may play havoc with Burley's features before the fight is over. Unlike Chase, the New Yorker uses his boxing skill in an aggressive manner.

He does in an aggressive manner. His does of away from his opponent. Another favorite punch in Carter's assortment is a half looping right which he whips into the midsection. Carter's well trimmed legs will be used to good advantage. How long he oan ward off Charley's murderous socks remains to be seen.

Perhaps his legs will be of little use if he happens to get whacked on a vulnerable spot. Carter's supporters insist he can stand up under a terrific belt. They also point with pride to the fact, despite his somewhat awkwardly effective style, that Burley is far and away a better puncher than any of the men Carter has faced in his three years of professional boxing. AIDS FUND. Ten per cent of the proceeds of the show, which is being staged under the auspices of the Disabled American Veterans, will be turned over to a fund to buy athletic equipment for servicemen.

First bout is schedule to start at 8:30. On the request of George Winn, Carter's pilot, judges will probably be assigned to handle the main event. Prelims follow Al Aboa vs. Ira-Hughes, six rounds; Jimmy Collins vs. Tiger Burns.

Another six rounder is expected to be made today. veloped. Weighing 112 pounds. Arcaro is classified as a "heavyweight" among jockeys. Miami's Alf (Robbie) Robertson was known as the Beau Brummel of the tracks for his superb taste in clothes.

"Everything always matched," Frenehy says. "Robby was a very particular dresser." The famous Ted Atkinson is just behind Meade in the small feet department with 3Vs shoes. "I'll have to hand it to Irving Anderson for being the largest jockey from hips to head, though," Frenehy remarks. "His waist was 274 Inches and his chest 38. He tipped the scales at lWt pounds." Anderson is now a sergeant in the Army veterinarian corps, sta tioned in Virginia.

The tallest jockey was Earl Porter, who meas ured 5 feet 7 upright. The Washington Senators were first to break away from the barrier in the race to get in condition and today virtually all clubs will have at least some of their men on hand to start spring training. Nobody can say with any assurance what the lineups will look like on opening day because Uncle Sam is still putting the finger on a key player here and there. But the advance dope would seem to indicate that the St Louis Browns in the American League and the Pittsburgh Pirates in the National are the teams to beat. The St.

Louis Cardinals, hard hit by the draft, don't figure worse than second to the Pirates despite their heavy losses, and the New York Yanks should make the Browns hustle to win. Although the Tigers still have Hal Newhouser and Dizzy Trout, they can hardly win without the punch supplied last year by Dick Wake-i field, who again has been called into service. The Red Sox, who perhaps lost more to Uncle Sam than any other club, will be lucky to finish in the first division. The dark horse is Connie Mark's Athletics, who made progress last (Kenrinted from Yesterday'! Lai. F.dlllonl By Bob Braclmian Before a crowd of 5,127 fans who contributed to a record gate of $7,176, Pvt.

Frankie Kovacs, Oakland's magnificent screwball, last night became claimant of the world's professional tennis championship when he defeated the national' pro king, Welby Yan Horn, in a gruelling two and a half hour match. 14-12, 6-3, in Civic Audi torium. Both the attendance and receipts, 10 per cent of which went to the Native Sons and Daughters of the Golden West fund for homeless children, far surpassed any figures set up in all previous professional matches here. Van Horn, the 24 year old At lanta, pro who has never beaten Kovacs, put up a tremendous argument in the first set which was as dramatic as it was tense. It was marked by continual -beef ing from the spectators, who ig nored staid tennis custom and booed loudly every time they felt like it.

Finally they brought their wrath down so. heavily that two linesman had to be replaced. ROW DELAYS MATCH. Midway of the thirteenth game, with the score tied at 6 all, Referee Bud Jackson became involved in a scoring mixup. He twice changed the count and it was not until Bill Tilden got on the loud speaker sys tem and announced that the score was 30 to 30 ten minutes later that the match was resumed.

The incident kept the crowd on Jackson's neck for the remainder of the match and Jackson himself didn't help anyby losing track on several occasions thereafter. While all of this was going on Kovacs and Van Horn battled away, holding set viae until it was 12 to 12. The turning point came in the twenty-fifth game with Van Horn serving. Kovacs unleashed some of those corner passing backhand shots for which he is famous and finally, on the twelfth point, broke Van Horn's service when Welby outed a voney. It was only a.

matter of time after that Kovacs blasted two aces and passed Welby twice to win the set game and then turned loose his full repertoire to race through the sec ond and deciding set in jig time against a gasping Van Horn. NO CLOWNING. Kovacs was anything but the clown last night. A couple of times, when it didn't matter, he pulled some of his comedy shots. Once, when the arena was so quiet the shouts of a beer vendor in the gallery could be heard, Kovacs stopped the match, walked over to the side and hollered out, "I don't want any beer.

Will you puleejie keep quiet?" But Kovacs never did get around to his fountain service, nor did he pull any sitdown strikes. He just didn't have a chance because Van Horn, while beaten in straight sets, gave him the battle of his young life with a brilliant volleying and serving exhibition that kept Kovacs ever on the alert. Following the triumph Kovacs was presented a gold bowl, symbolic of the world's championship, and his racket was auctioned off to a spectator for $125 which was donated to the homeless children's fund. The big crowd was treated to unexpected entertainment in the preliminary elimination match be tween Big Bill Tilden and tieorge Lyttelton Rogers, the Irish hopeful. The former world's champion raced through the first set, 6-1, with an assortment of sideline and cross court shots in only 14 minutes.

Big Bill kept going for a 4-1 lead in the second set and it looked as if the main eventers would come on early. But Rogers became stubborn, and the first thing any one knew they were engaged in a marathon that went twenty games before Tilden, after seeing ten match point wiped out, finally won the eleventh and the match match set, 11-9. Tilden, clad in shorts and a brilliant wine colored sports shirt, entertained with a series of bank-hand chop shots that seemed to pour back at the 6 foot 7 inch Irish giant with machinelike regularity. His service, during the early stages, also was plenty rough on Rogers. More than once it spun Rogers' racket clear out of his hands.

year. With added experience his youngsters should figure prominently in the race from the start. The White Sox. Indians and Sen ators are unknown quantities. The Senators have more than their usual share of Cubans but it is too early to make any predictions about them.

During the last six weeks of the 1944 season the Pirates were the most formidable outfit in the Na tional League. They were coming like a house afire and Frankie Frisch has more hold over material than any rival pilot. Frisch also has some stylish new comers coming up and he expects two or three of them to make the grade. The Giants expect to be stronger in the pitching department where they were weakest last season and the Dodgers again will feature a string of youngsters. However, this is all pure guessing and no club will know what to ex pect until the Doys have Deen in training for at least two weeks.

By that time, they should have a line on what players they will be able to use and will know just where they stand. nights In Madison Square Garden and other big arenas, there's been a lot of chatter about bike races and bike riders recently. It all came about when the midnight curfew was clamped on and fellows began to grow downright maudlin in their reminiscences of nights in the Garden when Brocco was the hero and when Al Goullet, the great Australian, whirled. When McNamara and Root and Oscar Egg and Grenda and Van Kempen and the Buysses and Debaetts and Goosens and Geor-getti and Letourner used to spin around the wooden saucer late at night. And to the later days when Peden, the gigantic Canadian, and Kalian and Vopel, the great German pair, swept everything.

NAZIFIED PAIR. Some one found Goullet over In Newark, deprecating his own ability. Some one said that great friendly pressure had been put on Kilian and Vopel to stay in their White Plains cottage and not return to Germany just before the war, but that the Germans were too far Nazified and spurned the safety of this country and that they haven't been heard of since. And then some one got a letter from Al Letourner, who now runs a bi cycle shop out in Los Angeles and is doing very well. Then Frank Stevens, the caterer, remembered glorious rough nights in the Old Garden, when the mob used to gather around the hot dog stands and bore holes in the back of the beaver board and remove handfuls of dimes from the till while the purveyor of the franks was busy with confederates of the borers.

Stevens couldn't understand the low state of the cash register until one night he was tola that the high priced restaurant upstairs was doing a land office business in champagne and Scotch and that lt was all being paid for in greasy dimes. In those days the dogs were fired and the grense stuck to the fryer's fingers and thence to tne dimes. RAILED 'EM IX. Detectives soon put the squash on that scheme, but in those days, the Garden was always packed with gangsters and pistol men, and there was no way to keep them out, because they would all gang up in the lobby and rush in. Then some clever policeman devised the idea of the pipe railings reaching from door to the ticket wicket, so that the ticket buyers had to enter single me.

Then the cops would watch the line carefully and toss out undesirables. The pipe railings are still standard equipment.

Their amazingly daring and swift crossing of the Rhine surprised tne Germans and everybody 1 and brought the end of the war in sie-ht. Even the most optimistic war experts thought it might take us months to cross that famous barrier to the heart of Germany but apparently nothing is impossible for the American doughboy. That crossing took the heat off the man rower legislation now pending in Congress and at the same time gave a fillip to the baseball players, many of whom had hesitated about leaving their jobs and signing contracts to play. Baseball feels now more than ever that it can go ahead, with good prospects that the season can be played without a hitch.
