Fraternity In Finals Saturday Negro Baseball May Be Out for Duration Transportation For Teams Is Inadeauate League Head Makes Plea To ODT the Office of Defense Transportation heeds the pleas of Dr. J.

B. Martin, president of the Negro American league, and fnodifles Its order barring special transportation for athletic teams, not only in school buses but in vehicles owned by organizations, such as baseball clubs, Negro league baseball Is doomed for the duration. Dr. Martin has already made representations to ODT Director Joseph B. Eastman showing that Negro baseball Is essential to Negro morale and will visit Washing.

ton to discuss the matter in per-1 son. The argument for bus use is based on these points: The teams of the two leagues, Negro lean and Negro National, must play i one day stands in each city, with Sunday doubleheadera and three week-night contests under the Tights; the financial returns do not permit train travel and besides this would take up unnecessary transportation space; these teams furnish the chief relaxation for several million Negroes in 11 metropolitan areas in the country and entertain workers engaged in war production; these teams also perform a special service by playing teams in camps throughout the nation and traveling to these games by buses. Os the six teams in each league, only one owns its park and that one is the Memphis Red Sox. The others play In white league parks on Sundays when the home team is on the road. Each club carries It? players and owijg its bus.

If the ODT stands, tbe annual East-West game In Chicago will be shelved. Held In White Sox park, for the last two jears it had drawn capacity throngs of 50,000 with other thousands turned away.

Met lei lan. Alabama's winter basketball tournament, recently completed. The hoys, who represent the 250th Quartermaster Boxing Notes By JESSE BROOKS While home on a furlough from Camp Corporal William Davis i Billy) Conn of Pittsburgh, declared last Thursday night that lif was willing to fight Sergeant Joe for the world heavyweight title Conti gave his approval of a proposal for such a fight, whereby purchasers of seats would buy Victory Bonds ranging from $25 for the for tlngside. The plan was mailed to Henry L. Stimson, Secretary of War, by a Post-Gazette A1 Abrams, organizer of Dapper Dan Charity clubs.

Sports fans remember Stimson for his halting of arrangements for a rematch between Conn and Louis last year after learning the fighters were to have certain debts paid from the receipts. Louis knocked out Conn in New York in June 1941, in a bout witnessed by 00,071 fans who paid $451,743, with tickets ranging from $2 50 to $25.00. Another Landes Match March 19 is the date selected by Promoter Nick Londes for the Jimmy Reeves-Jake LaMotta bout at Olympia. Reeves is Cleveland. Ohio boy and an outstanding middle-weight This mix-up with Reeves will test the crafty show against a fighter who has him outweighed.

In three of the four bouts he has fought In Detroit, LaMotta has had a weight advantage on his opponents. He outweighed Jimmy Edgar hy 7 3-4 pounds when they met here New night. He had an advantage of approximately IB pounds in both of his bouts with Ray Robinson. He and Charley Hayes were shout the same weight when they stepped on the scales before their tout, but LaMotta had an edge on Hayes in professional experience. In Reeves, according to Charles P.

Ward, a local sports authority, Jacob will be meeting a man who normally fights at a heavier weight than himseP. Jimmy has weighed as much as 173 pounds for his bouts and rarely has weighed less than 186. He Is reputed to he almost as good a puncher as Robinson and a very clever puncher besides. Reeves has been fighting longer than LaMotta, hut has not had so many fights. He turned pro fn 1939 after winning the Natlonrl AAP lightweight title.

He has had 59 fights since then, winning si! hut seven of them. He has been beaten hy Teddy former middleweight champion: Anton Chrlstoforldla, IMlly Soose. also a former middleweight champion, and Nate Bolden. LaMotta turned professional In 1941. He has had 39 pro fights, winning all hut six of them.

Men who have beaten him are Nate Bolden, Jose Rasora. Robinson and Reeves. Roth Robinson snd Reeyes hava beaten LaMotta twice. Although the Aral time Reeves met Jake was knocked down five times In one round, he got up to outpoint him snd won tha derision Hays Jack Best Jack Johnson, the master have defeated Joe Louis had the two ever met tn their prime, according to James J. Johnston, the noted fight promoter and manager who has seen them all since before the turn Ci the century.

William Washington Bears Are Former Rens Rt al white (ANT) The Washington Bears basketball team, whose members at various times sport the uniforms of the Kenaissance Big Five, the Grume Flyers and several other outfits between Sundays have been invited to compete in the Professional Basketball tourney in Chicago atartlng Sunday. Originally known as the Renaissance, the team was tailor made when it came to Washington to play fer A.

E. Lichtman, owner of a chain of theaters. after the founder of the team. Sam Lacey, mysteriously left town. The owners of "team" found the going tough and peddled the idea to Joe Turner, in whose erena they play every Sunday afternoon.

Turner Is an old wrestler whose barn-like place is located In the heart of the Negro district. Here all of the fights Hre held and most other entet tainmen tn and amusements for Negroes and whites. So in this miniature Madison Square Garden, the Bears were on display until Turner found he was losing money. The idea was then peddled to Lichtman who has the theater business locked up. Lichtman put money In the proposition, sent his own ticket man nnd sellers into the place and immediately the promotion took on a different air.

Then the matter of players was brought in. Originally, the Bears vpre composed mainly of plajets the late Chris Huiswould had assembled as the Recreation Seek Soldier Greco For Return Shan Bout NEW YORK Triumphant over Cleo Shans in ten rounds of good boxing at Madison Square Garden last Friday night. Johnny Greco, a private In the Canadian army left the city Sunday night tor Montreal, where he is to report for duty. Greco left New Tork with the cheers of a crowd ol 13.154. who paid to sec the bout echoing In his ears in lecognitlon of the thumping he gave the more experienced Shans.

Whether Greco will return depends on his getting another furlough. Promoter Mike Jacobs wants him back, either for a return bout with Shans proposed for Marrh 28 or a tussle with Lulu Costantino.

However, basketball of the caliber Ihev desired did not grow in Washington, so grudgingly thov looked elsewhere and found the only men available were those who hail played for Douglas with the Hens.

They are now in defense work as an excuse from the war nnd some of them would pluy with anyone else against the Bears if the were sufficiently inducing. And so the Washington Boats march along, fine combination of players, one of the greatest teams ever assembled, formerly known as the Renaissance, sometimes known as the Gruman Flyers, and what-bave-you. So if you see the Washington Bears in the Chi tournament, look them oxer carefully and see Bob Douglass last year Renaissance Big Five and the result of his coaching and building.
