NEW YORK, Dec. 18—(UP)-
Naturally the New York Yank-
Touchdowns aplenty may be cesjivo trying to build back to
the order of the day tomorrow
when four of Texas’ crack
i schoolboy football teams tangle
fin the semifinal games of the

During the hot days of last
July, Rosar tried to buck two
of the strictest disciplinarians
in baseball—Manager Joe Mc-
Carthy and President Etl Bar-

machines, while their oppon-
ents, Sunset of Dallas and Aus-
tin, respectively, are no slouch-
es at crossing the opponents’
’ goal lines.
Sunset, and Austin are
the underdogs in their go-
mes and coaches Herman
Cowley of Sunset ami Stand-

teams have a chance to win
is to turn on the steam and
outscore the enemy.
of the writers who knew Mc-
Carthy and Barrow predicted
lhat Rosar’s mid-summer trin

And it did yesterday.
We happened to be sitting
in the press box at Yankee sta-
dium that Sunday afternoon
when the Rosar story broke-
when it was announced that
Buddy Rosar had jumped the
club and shuffled off to Buf-
falo to take an examination for
the Buffalo police force. And

prospects are great that the two

Gloria Didn’t
Want To ‘Walk
Velvet Carpet*
NEW YORK, Dec. 17—(UP)—
Gloria Vanderbilt De Cicco said
today that Manhattan, Kansas,
'•Rolled out the red velvet car-
pel for me. and I wouldn’t walk
on it."
When she refused to he put
at parade, she said in an inter-
view with Helen Worden of the
New York Telegram, The peo-
ple of the Kansas town to which
-he and her soldier husband, Pat
De Cicco, went to live, didn’t
ike it. Recently Manhattan of-
ficials announced that the De
i’icco’s furniture would be sold
c compensate for several un-
paid bills.
Mrs. De Cicco said that those
tills had not been presented be-
ore her husband left Manhattan
brought in to take over the
Yanks’ hack-stopping duties in
place of injured Bill Dickey.
Hemsley, a confirmed “had boy"
of baseball, ’had been given his
cutright release by Cincinnati.
But he arrived at Yankee sta-
dium and caught both ends of
| a double-header against, the
■ Chicago White So.x.
| When that twin bill was over
| —and Hemsley did a grand
I catching job—we cornered Mc-
Carthy in his little cubicle, off
; the Yanks’ dressing room and
asked him. “What about Ro-
sar?"
McCarthy, whose home town
also is Buffalo, was sore as a
boil. But he muffled his smoul-
dering anger, and said: "I don't
know what action will be taken
against Rosar, but something
will be done.”
It was, Rosar was fined $250
before lie rejoined the Yankee
squad. But he wasn’t suspend-
ed.

Beau Jack Gets
Nod Over Larkin
In Tonight’s Go
,NEW YORK, Dec. 18 —(UP)
—Beau Jack, negro ex-bootblack
of Augusta, Ga., is favored at
8-5 to beat blond Tippy Larkin
of Garfield, N. .T., tonight at
Madison Square Garden for the
vacated lightweight champion-
ship of the world.
Jack is favored because of
his youth, ruggedness and “per-
petual motion” style in what
probably is the strangest title
tilt in the history of the 135-
pound division.
The lightweight throne is va-
cant because Champion Sammy
Angott of Washington, Pa., re-
tired due to recurrent hand in-
juries. It was alleged in certain
quarters that Angott retired be-
cause of gangster pressure —
that he quit because he would
not “do business” in his fights.
Angott and his manager, Char-
ley Jonees, have denied these
charges.
