_THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1940 Bookies Give Wiid Odds On Billy to Win By SID FEDER Associated Press Sports Writer New York, Nov. 28--(AP)--The charitable gentlemen who make the betting prices on fights ordin- arily are about as dumb as a woods full of foxes and a room full of Einsteins--mixed together. Yet every once in a while they seem to think it's Christmas, even though the calendar doesn't agree, and come up with a set of odds that are about as reasonable as baking a cake with talcum powder for flour. That's why there was a wild rush around the 49th Street betting dis- trict today as those charitable gen- tlemen came from behind their white whiskers and realized they were all out of limb in establishing Billy Conn, the Pittsburgh pretty boy, favorite at odds of 1 to 3 that he can dissolve Lee Savold in Madi- son Square Garden tomorrow night. | Now Billy Boy should, by all in- dications, whip the Corn Country Clouter in their 12-round fuss, par- ticularly since Savold, at best, boasts only a striped record. But Lee has proved he can hit, and the betting commissioners have discov ered long before now that a fighter who carried the old equalizer in his fists isn't a 3-1 shortender against anybody. So the betting boys started the hedging process today. Jacobs Beach tere was a quick- change job going on. Instead of inviting all bets, the fraternity sud- denly realized it was loaded with All along | Tom Harmon to Get Grid Prize New York, Nov. 28.--Tom Har- mon, brilliant halfback of the Uni- versity of Michigan's football team, was announced last night as the winner of the Heisman Memorial Trophy, given each year by York to the outstanding college gridder in the &nited States. number of points, 1303, in the countrywide Lalloting by sports writers and broadcasters to beat out John Kinbrough of Texas A. and M., who received 841.

Amerks May Climb Out of Cellar Tonight (By The Canadian Press) Americans, who have been bounc- ing in and out of the National Hoc- key League cellar, get a chance te climb from the last position tonight of the season with their city rivals, the Rangers. them up into a fourth place tie with Conn money. Of course, the boys couldn't come right out their customers they wouldn't ac- cept any more bets on Billy. So they did the next best thing; they made you lay $6 to win $1 if you and tell | liked Conn. At the same time they | turned right around and continued to invite all the Savold money they could find. All signs still favored Conn in the fight. He wound up training yesterday looking for the first time as though he may grow into a heavyweight. He was and may be heavier when he and the Des Moines blond weigh in at noon tomorrow. The fight means a lot to both boys. The winner is a cinch to get Joe Louis as a ring partner some time before next July. The Bomber is all tiled up until February. But in as much as Joe and the winner of tomorrow night's tea party should draw a lot of what the boys on the beach call "The Fresh", there is no doubt that the Bomber will be more than willing to oblige when a date is arranged.

There were various estimates on the amount that might thus be saved. The consensus of rigid econ- omy advocates was that the maxi- mum to be hoped for would be about $500,000,000 in the fiscal year beginning next July 1. Should that maximum be realiz- ed, they said, it would represent approximately 10 per cent of the current year's normal expenditures, omitting the fixed charges and both regular and extraordinary de- fence spending. Senator Alva Adams orado), influential member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, said that in his eves, $500,000,000 Effi- | and | is a | would represent a "material sav- | ing," although it might seem rela- (Dem.-Col-| | said. tively small alongside contemplated | total expenditures. | The actual spending of the cur- rent fiscal year has been estimated at approximately $13,000,000,000, although Congress actually voted | $20,000,000,000 in cash and authori- zations.

Highway, river and harbor, pub- | lic, park and forest land expendi- tures would be sliced, he announc- ed, and the Works Progress Ad- ministration would be given an increased percentage of national defence work. Observing that Congress was al- ready committed to huge new de- fence outlays in the forthcoming year, Senator Adams said he could see 'no escape" from increased taxes and a boost in the treasury's borrowing authority. "But," he told reporters, 'we ought to pay our normal operat- Ing expenses out there is a will to economize them, I think it can be done."

Nor was he criticizing the very necessary speeding up of war mat- erial production and of the British Empire air training project to ach- feve in a matter of weeks what was calculated to take months, Mr. Conant stressed, but he was sorry to see one of Canada's basic in- dustries . stripped of labor. In Can- ada, as in England, a new inven- tory of our people may have to be taken to determine the. utmost in labor of all types available and we may have to make available for our farms all manner of help regardless of strata and sex, the Attorney- General said, adding that we have to do what was successfully done in England during the last war, namely, the employment of what was known as farmerettes for the maintenance of agricultural prod- uction. Frownsg on Inflation Hon. Mr. Conant touched on the serious problem of the money prob- lem of the future, because of the vast expenditures being made for war expenditures, $3,000,000 a day in Canada. No one could predict, he said, what effect this will have on our future fiscal and monetary policy, but he was hopeful of fin- ancial survival either by taxation, compulsory saving or any orthodox scheme which the government might bring forward, short of in- flation. In inflation, if ever adopt- ed, Hon. Mr. Conant saw the ut- most in distress and misery, as had been the case in countries like Germany and Russia, where finan- cial conditions became absolutely chaotic after the last war, A bright side to this picture, Mr, Conant sald, was that as farmers were concerned, the land they owned and cultivated and the commodities they possessed would he the only things that 'would retain their value.

In closing, the Attorney-General said that he was not suggesting that our war effort should be im- paired and slowed up because of the terrible expenditures involved and their effect on our financing, but he pointed out that these ex- penditures would in days to come involve great sacrifices and hard- ships, nothing, however, in com- parison with what we would be called on to endure if we lost the war, If we do not use, if needed, all the resources of the Empire to win the war, then nothing that we now hold and cherish will be of future value to us, Mr. Conant em- phasized. Patriotic Message A stirring, patriotic message was brought to the gathering by Frank Kelly, M.P.P.,, who saw in past and more recent British Empire ache ievements in days when she was attacked the hand of God. "If there was an angel at Mons, God was at Dunkirk," a reporter res cently returned from the old land and from the notable evacuation of troons from Dunkirk to England, had told him. Ang it was true, he "We are still proud of the boys of the old brigade, and we re- member with reverence and affec- tion the sacrifices of those who fought and perished in the last war, also the noble "services now being rendered by the men from Canada and the Empire," Mr, Kelly said. "Our task was to uphold the banner of freedom, 'sure of ulti mate victory and a lasting peace, and we must not falter no matter what the cost may be. So long as we work together with faith in our own land and in the Empire we will win, and be able truthfully to say that "There will always be an England, and England shall be if England means as much to you as England means to me." Other speakers included Reeve the Rev. A Mansell Irwin, Whit- by; C. L.
