Walcott Better Than Some Challengers By GAYLE TALBOT ' NFJW YORK. Dec. 2 — (AP) — The Twentieth Century Sporting Club. which may not be entirely unbiased, is pointing out that Joe Louis has demolished a number o! heavyweights during the last 10 years who weren't any better, on the record. than Jersey Joe walcott. whom he is expected to flatten on Friday nlgllt in the Garden. In fact, the promoters of the $30 affair are inclined to feel that Jersey Joe. a Negro-of I008 fil- perience in the ring. stands a rung above such pre-wal‘ victims as Jack Roper. Al McCoy. Johnny Paychek, Tony Musto. Red Bur- mun. John Henry Lewis, and pos- slbi Lou Nova and Buddy Baer. " t lea I'll guarantee he won't collapse wile he's cllmbln’ into the ring like some of those beaut- ies did." declared a spokesman for the ill and absent Mike Jacobs. "Walcott thinks he's going to win the title, and the only one who can convince him otherwise is Joe Louis. I'm not even sure that Joe can. Walcott could surprise every- body." One of the factors which is sup- posed to have sitmuloted Walcott with extra confidence is the hal- lucination that he knocked Louis down in a sparring session while the champion was training for his second scrap with Max Schmeling. Walcott. says India's handlers ship- ped him out of camp pronto after the incident. Louis say! it Just didn't happen. "He might have been one 0.1 my sparrln‘ partners. but if he We! he didn't knock me down." the champ says with a trace of an- noyance. "Far as I knw I Milli‘ laid eyes on him until I saw him box Joe Maxim out on the coast last summer. Anyway. he'll have plenty of chance to knock mo down again Friday night. Somebodfa gonna get knocked out." Wslcott, who wound up his box- ing preparations today at Grenock Lake. NJ, has stayed about as fur gway from Louis as possible while still remaining within com- muting distance of the battle site.

Numerous homeless rumors have been floating around to the effect. that Durocher has been signed, or that he never will be signed.

But just because he did a good job he could not expect Rickey to feel obligated to retain him when the understanding was that he was hired as a stop-gap for a year. Rickey is s conscientio soul and we think he feels a definite obligation to see that Leo has an- other chance. If Leo is not re- hired, it will mean that circum- stances have arisen which make such a move impractical from the standpoint of the public’: good will toward the club. If the signing of Duirocher would cut down gate receipts too much and create ill-feeling. we don't think Rickey would employ him. __i__.,__ 36 Rinks Entered In Senior Bonspiel IAIIIIJDON.

Bid Branch Rickey Make Red Birds 0r Vice Verso? NEW YORK. Dec. 1 — (C?) - Now that Si. Louis Cardinals have been sold the argument as to whe- ther the club made Branch Rickey or Branch Rickey made the club never will be settled to everybody‘: satisfaction. Sam Breadon always was the Mr. Big of the Red Birds, but there were those who thought Rickey. through his development of the form system and his uncanny judgment of ball players, was re- sponsible for the success of the team. . When Rickey moved io Brooklyn the fans sat back and waited to see whether the Cards farm sys- tem would continue to prosper and provide the steady flow of fresh talent which made the father club the team to beat year nitrr yepr in the National league race. The Cards won the pennant 1n 1946. but that was not conclusive as the players were those gather- ed together by Rickey While he still was twlih the club. They fall- cd this year. willie Rickeys BroOk- lyn Dodgers came home in front. Again it wasn't conclusive cvld- ence one way or the other. as sev- eral of the Red Birds known to be fine bail players had had ycnrs.’ It would have taken rim e to four more years to get a good line on Ilickeyi value to the Si. Louis club during the years he was with it. Had Brooklyn continued to fin- ish ahead of the Cards in the next three or four years you might get the impression, at least, that his talent for assembling‘ ball players was responsible for the St. Louis success while he was with the club. Now Brendon is out of the picture and if the Red Birds jail to maln- taln the pace they have in the past it will be pointed out that it is be- cause either Brendon or Rickey is not there. but you'll have to take your choice as to which ab- sentee was the mOreJmPQrI-ant.

If Rickey was in great measure responsible for that success the facl. reflects credit on Brendon for his sagaclty TRURO, N.S., Dec. 2 —(CP1< Truro Bearcatg strengthonod 11181; hold on first place tn the Maritiml Senior Hockey League 101,181,; b.’ WEIUOPIHS bottom-bracket Sal-hi John Beavers 12-5, Little doubt ‘WIIS felt here thai Playing coaoh Cliff Roach ihaci to: much to do.
