Dodgers To Dffer I Robinson Salary Boost This Year NEW YORK, Nov. 26 —l.\P)- Brooklyn Dodgers will offer Jackie Robinson a "substantial increase" in salary for the 1948 season and hope to be able to announce their 1948 manager before the close of the major league baseball meetings_ Dec. 10, President Branch Rickey said today. In guarded replies to questions tossed‘ at him during a press con- ference. Rickey explained that he had been "working directly“ on the managerial situation for the last six days. "I am working on some deals and have talked to three or four clubs. Nothing may come of them. but I thing something will and I want to know about the manage- ment of the club before it happens." Rickey said he has no meetings scheduled with either Leo Duroch- er. the manager who was suspend- ed through the 1947 season by Baseball Commissioner A. B. Chandler. or Burt Shotton. who handled the Dodgers last summer. Asked about a raise vfor Robin- son. Rickey said: "There's no question about It. Kc deserves s. substantial increase."

A. tffieason Next Tuesday Thinks Argos Weaker Than 1945 Team. (By Jack Mitchell) TORONTO. Nov. 26 - (OP)— Just for what it's worth to Win- nipeg Blue Bombers in mapping their Dominion football final strategy. Coach Tedder Morris went on record today that his Tbronto Argonauts are "a weak- e1" team" than the i945 Argos who brought the Grey cup to Toronto. The statement came as Argos raced through an afternoon drill for the East-West final hers on Saturday and it might be uiise for the Bombers, who meantime held a similar workout 40 miles away in Hamilton. to take it with a grain of salt. To get the proper perspective. you have to rccail that those 1945 Argos drubbed the Bombers 35-0 in the sudden-death final. An- other thing to remember is that the Bay Street bcttors made pub- lic their “officlal“ quotations to- day setting Bombers as 5-1 under- dogs. 1t was just a signal drill today in light snow and cold. which promised to harden the soft turf‘ at Varsity Stadium if it lastsun- til Saturday. But the two squads. quarterbacked by Fred Doty and Bill Stukus. ran through their repertoire of rluining and pass- ing plays with the spirit of high school kids. Over in Hamilton, Coach Jack West put his ‘ZS-man squad through a signal drill as confident as ever that the team "will give a good account of themselves." To bear out his statement that the Bombers are huskler than the 1946 team, beaten 28-7 by Argos. West released figures showing nine rrcn weighed 200 pounds or more. From the advance ticket sales. Canadian Rugby Union officials said a capacity crowd of some 19.- 000 would probably fill Varsity Stadium Saturday. TORONTO.

Nov. 26 —lCP) - Mcre than one western sports writ- er still is bemoauing the disal- lo ance by the Western Interpre- vincial Football Union of Calgary Siampeders’ protqst over the sec- ond game of their western champ- ionship final against Winnipeg Blue Bombers, Tom (Calgary Alum-tan) 1\foore‘s column on ihc subject might as well be draped with crepe. As it ls, he's “turned the rules" and head- ed it with a black-bordered in- scription reading: "RIP. Western inferprovinvia. Fcothali Union." Below is the melancholy proverb, “much law but little justice." Undertaker Moore feels that the Union's dlsallowance of his belov- e.l Stampeders‘ protest “wrote an obituary for the league." “There has been a growing con- viction among many Calgary foot- bai; fans that Calgary and Regina are a. couple of gridiron suckers‘ glaciously permitted by Vvinnipegl to spend money rounding out a circuit that will give to the west-. em senior title some sort of of- fltial status when it is ultimate- ly either purchased or stolen by Winnipeg." he says. ‘Too often has the season wrund up with Bombers not only holding the eroucn- which no one would begrudge them in fair com- petition -' but with an aroma akin to that produced by rotten turnips hanging over the final.

Braddock was perhaps the hun- griest man around before he out- stabbed Max Beer for the title. Jim had been on relief. and he had worked as a longshoreman during a bitter period when his boxing talents were not in demand. So. it turns out. was Wnlcott on relief before he started the come- back which led to his approaching chance against Joe Louis. The New Jersey Negro not only was on re- lief’ for l". years. but he had a much larger family to feed than Braddock had - a wile and six children. Walcolt worked on a construc- tion job. drove an Ice truck. mixed cement and carried a hod. It was not until 1944. his biographers re- cord. that Joe looked up his pres- ent manager. Joe Webster. a rich Camden, N.J., cafe keeper. and started back up the old fistlc trail. Up to that point the Walcott saga checks perfectly with the Braddock tradition. lt is all there the lean years. - the knock cf the rent collector. But from 1944 to the present. the drumbeaters have found the going tricky. "Walcott has been enriched In the last three years with substant- ial purses." concedes n recent re- lease from Joe's training camp somewhere In the wilds of New Jersey. "Walcolt has saved most of his money‘, S0 that todav he owns a IO-room house. and the larder is stocked with“ steaks. chit-ken and chops for the hungry household."

Canada Favored Says Minister MONTREAL, Nov. 26 --(CP) - Trade Minister MlcKlnnon told Canadian business today it was his opinion following a 25.0000-mile trade tour to a dozen countries that Canada was an extremely favored nation and stood on the threshold of great trade opportunities. to a meeting pf the Canadian Manufacturers’ Association, the minister reviewedconditiong in the various countries visited and dis- closed that many large European firms are making immediate plans to establish "very substantial branch plants in Canada." He did not elaborate on this. "We have seen something of the domestic problems faced by other nations. of local conditions of soil. of climate and geogiraphlcallocat- ion." the minister said. "In all these respects Canada seems to m0 to be extremely favored among the frations. In this perspective. our own difficulties. though real. seem much les imposing. Canada was a nation richly bless- ed whiph had not suffered from uncontrolled inflation. Her prob- lcms were within the range of happy and permanent solution. R.C.
