Feb. 5. I-'! Periodically our effervescent friend. Bav Dumoiit. sends ux publicity yarn's concerning his robust brain-child, the National Semi-Pro Raseball congress.

They always are bubbling with optimism, and his luteal bubbles more emphatically than usual. He see in the decrease of professional league plays a nilver lining for the samilot game. Not that he gloats over the trials of organized bull. He regrets the situation as much aa the next man. But is it his fault if the circuiustHiiie works out lo the advantage of his snndlot off-sprint? And as balm to the organixed ball sponsors, he sees the snndlots developing more candidates for the organized ranks, when baseball again Is able to assume its place In the minor league field, than would be developed were the leagues still operating.

He says a survey of Industrial baseball prospects indicates the number of factory baseball clubs throughout the nation will be doubled this year, mostly due to the fact that hundreds of former minor league players are scattered about in such plants producing I'ncle Sam's war materials. These boys will want to play baseball, he logically reasons, and there will he an incentive for a team in practically every plant where a former professional player is working. In the past decade, he says, shortage of baseball talent caused many plents to quit baseball. The war has changed that, he insists. Viewed from Dnnionl's angle, th-i outlook for the sandlolters does seem bright, st that.

The factory teams as a nile do not have to rely cn attendance to keep operating, as many firms foot the hills for the clubs, and with plenty of defense workers with the baseball Itch anxious to get their recreation on the diamond the setup seems perfect. Offhand, there would seem to be just one grei.ilin messing up th Roaring Spring Turns Back Williamsburg Bid for Top 2 1 IIll- Ml f9 SO 51 52 5 55 5 t.i 55 fc5 lb- 1,7 ji Armv Takes Duauesne Vels 4' Dtr. t'ailH I 28-15 OSS.

Connie Mack asked for help tonight in blowing out the 80 candles on his birthday cake. Thomas Richardson, president of the Eastern Baseball league, acting as toustmaster at a testimonial dinner for the preisdent and general manager of the Philadelphia Athletics, obliged. Baseball's grand old man passed the four-score mark in December 23, but because of the transportation strain during the holiday season, he asked that the celebration be postponed. Mo -e than 850 friends were on hand tonight to wish him "manv happy returns." They included prominent in sports. professions and civic life.

The birthday cake was a highlight of the dinner. Another was the presentation of an oil painting of Mai by Maurice Molarsky. Flanking Connie at the head table were Presidents Will Harridge and Ford C. Frick. of the American and National leagues, respectively.

Others at the speakers table included Branch Rickey, president of the Brooklyn Dodgers: Clark Griffith. ownt'r of the Washington Senators: Don Barnes, president of the St. Louis Browns: William E. Bens-wanger. president of the Pittsburg Pirates: Gerald P.

Nugent, president of the Philadelphia Phils: Robert Quinn. Boston Braves' president; Governor Wralter Bacon of Delaware; Lieutenant Governor John C. Bell of Pennsylvania; acting Mayor Bernard Samuel of Philadelphia: John B. Kelly, U. S.

director of physical fitness; Judge ry McDevitt: Managers Steve O'Neill of the Detroit Tigers. Lou Boudreau of the Cleveland Indians. Jimmy Wilson of the Chicago Cubs and Luke Sewell of the St. Louis Browns; and George Weiss, head of the New York Yankees farm system who represented Ed Barrow, president. Before the dinner.

Harridge, F'ur Griffith and Mack all declined to comment on President Roosevelt's statemen'. today that the problem of the future of baseball had been put up to his two secretaries. Tracks Depending on Auto Trade Face Closing Order setup. You know the story of the golf fanatic who dreamed he died and went to Heaven, and there discovered the most beautiful course imaginable. There was a fine set of clubs waiting for hliu, a perfect cuddy, the weather was just right and there were three congenial playing partners.

He walked buoyantly to the first tee. 'and asked the caddy for a bull. "No golf balls." said the caddy, nnd the gent began to suspect wasn't In Heaven after all. Well, that might he the sandlot-ters' trouble. No baseballs.

Or at least not enough to go around. We understand that a branch o( the war department has been buying about 80 percent of Ilia A-S baseb.lls being made, leaving tho number available for civilian use far less than the probabel demand. The permission granted golf ball manufacturers to use the rubber cores, or pills, which they had on hand when the golf ball business was wrecked, for cores of baseballs, will alleviate the shortage somewhat. There were some 750.000 of these little rubber bouncers In stock. Now the major leagues probably hnve a fair supply of baseballs left over from Inst year, although they'll have to use halls with phony centers too when tho supply of tha old regulation balls run out.

They will get along, though. It's not a prospective shortage of baseballs that's worrying the majors. It's a projective shortage of men to play with the baseballs. But whether there will be enough balls to equip Dumont's fur-flung organization of sandiotters Is nn-other question. The little gent has the answer, he usually does.

At any rate, he and the organized baseball officials have contrary problems. Dumont has the man-power but may lack baseballs: the other officials have baseballs but may lack man-power. 11111111" Dom Dimaggio Executes Lone Double Play Little Dom DiMaggio, speedy center-fielder of the Boston Red Sox who now is wearing a Coast Guard uniform, long has had the reputation as one of the game's great est defensive players and it's backed up by his feat of being ih only outer-gardener In the Ameri can league to pull an unassisted double piny during 1942. On Aug. 2 at Detroit.

Dom raced In from center to pull down a liner off the bat' of Roger Cramer and then run over fast enough to tag Jimmy Bloodwoiih before the Tiger infiekler could return to first base.

Feb. tJ A body punch that apparently only the referee thought was foul gave Beau Jacob a 10-round decision over Fritiie Zivic tonight and churned up one of the wildest demonstrations seen in Mad'son Square Garden In vears.

Jack weighed 137 1-4; Zivic, 145 1-4. The blow came In the eighth round of a roaring, rip-tearing brawl, and when Referee Young Otto called it "low" and penalised the veteran Filtsburg war-horse with loss of the round, the roar of boo that rolled down from a close-to-cspeily house last-d well into the ninth round. Newspapers and program drifted down from the second balcony and the boos were picked up again at the end of the fight. At the finish, the Associated Press score bard gave Jack five rounds, including the eighth. Zivic had four heats and one was even.

They meet Geneva tomorrow night, then swing to the road for games with Long Island. Duke university. North Carolina and Norfolk Pre-flight fives. Coach Chick Davies, famed for winning basket ball teams for nearly 20 years at Dnquesne he has won 263 and lost 88 for a .719 percentage expresses surprise at the Dukes' spurt and says "the army's got a better Duquesne team than I have."

They all had a year or more to play before they enlisted or were ctlled up and Davies asserts "they would have given us a great team," But the current Dukes, while not the usual clever, smooth-working Davies combination, are setting a winning pace which the vets hardly could improve upon. Among their victims are Wyoming. DePaul, Westminster.

Wooster, and West Virginia. They trimmed West Virginia 52-36. and spent most of the last half trying to figure out how not to make baskets. The only loss came to Creighton 42-40, in the first beating the Dukes hnve taken on their home floor since 1938. Davies, offering an explanation for the Duke rush, says "we've practiced 50 per cent more on shooting, are controlling the ball and play ins percentage basketball."

Rockefeller. Sr. By MD FF.DER NEW TORK. Feb. vP) The problem of transportation and rub- ber today provided a new war-time ht ada -he for racing, which appar-1 ently had escaped the effects of earli'r manpower edicts, but most' major tracks seemed capable of ope-1 rating this summer unless more drastic restrictions are Imposed.

.1.. vtiv. iiik me suuiuowu ui inn ay Meadows race track. California's last operating horse park, in order to conserve rubber, Rubber Administrator William M. Jeffers announced today in Washington he is asking the governors of all states where racing is permitted to cancel meetings at all tracks whose loca- tion makes it necessary to travel to them by automobile.

1 The immediate effects found the axe swinging closer to racing for this year, but not close enough to forecast a major shut-down, although such Ohio tracks as River Downs. Thistledown and Ascot and Fair-mount In Illinois just about gave up hopes of running and dark clouds I were foreseen for Saratoga in New York, Garden State in New Jersey, Delawsre park. Rockingham in New I Hampshire and Keeneland in Ken-1 tucky. I In most cases, however, it was pointed out that available street car. subway and rail transportation was sufficient to permit tracks to ope-; date in many places, like New Tork, Chicago.

Baltimore and Louisville, although all Ere looking for curtailed crowds. In this respect, it can be recalled that the fall meetings of New York's tracks last year, hit by partial transportation restrictions, saw sharply decreased crowds, but little or no cut in betting, the life-blood of the sport's operation. Jeffers' letter to California Gov-, ernor Warren was his first request to shut down tracks where automobile transportation is required for race-goers. The reaction was so immediate that Jeffers. in Washington, today dis-' clcsed he is following it up with similar requests to all governors of racing states.

Of New York's five tracks, however, only one Saratoga would be seriously affected. The up-state spa, north of Albany, lias some rail transportation, but generally requires the influx of fans via motor transporta- tion. The other Empire state tracks Belrr.ont. Jamaica. Aqueduct and Empire City are all in New Tork'g metropolitan area and are serviced by either the Long Island railroad's tegular trains or city subways.

These facilities have regular stations not far from all four plants, and the tracks are considering the use of horse drawn vehicles to haul fans from these stations to the tracks. Belmont already lias contacted a ''horse contractor" who served a similar purpose last summer for the trotting traik at West bury. Long Island. In Maryland. Bowie.

Havre de Grace and Laurel all require automobile transportation, but plans already are under way to move the meeting's of these three tracks to Pimlico. in Baltimore, which is serviced by regular tret car lines from down-town Baltimore. FDR Silent On Question Of Baseball WASHINGTON. Feb. 5.

vP' President Roosevelt withheld any definite. answ.T today to pres conference queries as to the future of profes-! sional baseball in the light of the war manpower commission's altitude that dran-age men in non-iiefei rable jobs should find war work or face induction. Last year he endorsed the idea of 1 playing the game during war but the 1913 season approaches with the 1 prospects obscure. 1 Asked about the issue today be I simply laughed, then commented that the matter had come up in his mail yesterday. He said he had referred it to a committee of two presiden- tial Secretaries Marvin H.
