Some Impertinent
Sports Questions
By DAN PARKER
WHY DID ST. JOHN'S basketeers freeze the ball and refuse two
tree loul shots, to .safeguard their six-point lead, with three minutes to
ko against Akron Tuesday night at the Garden, but put on a terrific
spurt after Akron scored a basket, until they had restored the six-point
margin, thus making it possible for the bookies to collect both ends of
the bets? . . Why did the usually peaceful Ivy Summer of St Johns
Hare up and push or punch Referee Pat Kennedy when a foul was colled
on him during this period of the game, instead of accepting the verdict
complacently as he always had theret ofore? . . . What became of all
thch tickets for the Notre Datne-N. Y. U. basketball game between the
' nne announcement was made of a public sale to start the night of Jan
Jary 16th and the opening of the sale when prospective purchasers were
old only some cheaper seats remained? . Do college basketball
'•aches whose teams play at the Garden ever warn them about the
:umpany they keep?
Will the major league baseball magnates, out of gratitude for
being permitted to operate during the coming season with the most
inferior brand of talent in history, loner the prices of admission to
fit the situation? . Does War Mobiiizer Jimmy Byrnes know that
he has been over-ruled by Professor Albert Galsworthy llhch who in
Ins latest official communique says: -I therefore expect to sec racing
' «oln« »n by April or May 1945”? What happened to the
West Virginia basketball team in Thursday ngiht's game with Penn
State in which the Mountaineers, 2-4 favorites, unbeaten up to then
and boasting victories over N. V. |!„ I,. I. C. and Penn State itself,
lost, 55-27? . . Will the Boxing Managers' ••Guilt" extend its boy
cott to include the New York State Athletic Commission, now that
Chairman Eddie Eagan has warned its members "to straighten out
and fly right? . And if it Isn't the forbidden rat of boycotting
that the ''Guilt” is practicing, how would you characterize its treat
ment of Joe Turner, the Washington promoter?
Did Henry Armstrong, who is to preach from a Loe Angeles pulpit,
get that, old time religion from associating with Honest George Moore,
his saintly manager? . Doesn't that freak kayo at the St Nick last
Monday night < when a boxer knocked out ol the ring was counted out
before ne could gel back) emphasize tile need for a revision of this rule,
written into the code in the days of turf fighting and intended to suit
conditions prevailing then? . . . Who does Jimmy McDaniels think he
f is m demanding a »J5,(XJ0 guaiantee to light Ray Robinson in the Gar
den and showing no interest whatsoever m a match with Jimmy Doyle?
Do boxing fans appreciate the great service Nat Fleischer lias per- |
formed lor Hie game in compiling has record book to replace the mass
ol untrustworthy records handed down to us troin the old days when
managers could bribe record book men into including talse information,
Javoraole to their lighters, in the record books? . . . Does it signify
the arrival ol the Great Day, that Billy Arnold, a colored boxer, can
bar Jimmy Doyle, a white boy, as an opponent? . . . And who can re
member away back when this sort ol stuff was the prerogative ol I he
white boy?
Who put the muscle on whom to have the Doyle-Terry bout
broadcast instead of one of the other two ten-rounders booker for
the Garden last Friday night? Docs Joe Louis really believe
himself when he says he’ll quit after one more light? What's he
going to pay ail those back income taxes with (after he spends his
army salary on tips to waiters)? . Wouldn't Gen. Phelan's long
experience on the Boxing Commission be put to good use if he were
appointed to one of the salaried positions below the rank of Coin- ,
niissioner? . . Who is the stinking cur that's writing "unanimous "
post cards to Broadway Sum ltotli ''without even signing his name,”
as Sam adds with devastating force? . . . Will Mel lieimer, the
writer, take the afternoon oil next season whenever Mel lieimer, i
Hie pitcher, is in the box for the Giants, and root for his unknown
namesake? Have you noticed that Damon Runyon is (iirniiig
his most brilliant stuff in years since he pulled through that major
operation last Summer?
Is there some special reason Coach Howard Cann of N. Y U doesn't
use Howie Saratli, one ol his star baskcleers, more often? . . Will
Johnny Kvers’s name lead all the rest iO hope) when the oailols lor
Baseball’s Hall of Fame are counted? . . Was it lack of work in re
cent months that caused Tommy Bell to lade in the last two rounds
against Hay Robinson in Cleveland the other night alter holding him or.
even terms up to then? . . When will the Boxing Commission weed
out Ute strictly political appointees Horn its list ol referees and judges?
Shouldn't those who are "planning" to run a Kentucky Derby
“Xt Spring without betting or spectators, let Col. Matt Winn in on the
(-•ret since he's the fellow who runs the Derby? . . . And if the racing
■i is lifted during the Summer, couldn't the Derby be run oft during
y Fall meeting at Churchill Downs when the three-year-olds would
.t their best?

Hagg, Swedich star, from appear
ing.
Hulse said lie would go into train
ing immediately and that he would
leave here shortly before the games,
traveling by air. Hulse probably
will appear in only the mile.
