They're Still Seeking Joe's Next Victim New York, April 17 --(AP)-- Joe Louis is tired of waiting and the 20th Century Sporting Club is tired _ of looking for "logical" contenders, so the fleld narrowed today to two heavyweights previously brushed off in the search for a challenger. Joe Baksi's refusal to sign after his impressive seven-round knockout . of Bruce Woodcock in London Tuesday night left only Jersey Joe Walcott and Melio Bettina as pos- sible Louis opponents for a June title match. However, Louis said last night he didn't think the New York State Athletic Commission would sanc- tion a title bout with either Wale cott or Bettina. "I don't think eith- er of them would draw a good gate with me this summer in New York or elsewhere," he told reporters at Los Angeles, : Previously, the champion said he was prepared to announce his re- tirement unless a title defence was arranged this summer. Last night he elaborated: "I have no plans for retirement if outstanding opponents are found for me. In that case I would be willing to fight three or four times a year." Louis, 32 now, has defended the title 23 times since he won it from Jimmy Braddock 10 years ago. Both the remaining contenders are near Louis' age if not his ring stature. Walcott, best known as the heavyweight who has six children, claims he is six months younger than Louis. Bettina will be 31 in November. Moose Jaw Jrs., Fans Too, Think . They'll Do Better Moose Jaw, Sask., April"17 -- (CP) -- Moose Jaw Canucks were grimly determined today to prove that Jast Tuesday's 12-3 defeat at the hands of Toronto St. Michael's was "just one of those things" and that the best-of-seven series for the Mem- orial Cup, emblematic of Canadian Junior Hockey supremacy, would finish with the Saskatchewan team on top. The determination of the Can- ucks, who meet Toronto in the sec- ond game here tonight, was akin to the optimism seen today in this hockey-mad town.

This claim seems terribly old- fashioned and stuffy when viewed 'In the light of modern trends-in golf. But, I well remember the time when newcomers to the game started with the book of Rules and Etiquette of Golf, not with a bet that they would set a new record for beginners in the way of driv- ing or scoring. In short, there was a time when a player's conduct on the course was given more atten- tion than given to his scores. Every player understood that in spirit, the etiquette and rules of the game were the same. Since golf, in the main, is a one man proposition, both rules and etiquette. were designed to give every player every opportunity to do his very best. If you study the rules carefully you will find that they prevent one player from tak- putt and vision, ing undue advantage of another or interference with the other play- er"s game. However, the rules can go only so far, the rest of the play- er's conduct has to be governed largely by etiquette. If you don't like the term etiquette you might cover the governing spirit as a standard of fairness and decency. For example, the decent and fair thing to do when your partner or opponent is putting is to stand quietly in a position away from his line of putt and vision, The best example of rivalry is had among the tournament pros, their scramble for cash is almost a life or death matter to them, yet their conduct toward partners and opponents shows the highest regard for rules and etiquette to be found in the game today. > Be more considerate about your opponent's rights during the game and you'll help your own play. The putting green is a good place to begin with this added consideration, TRIBE MOUND HOPE - - By Jack Sords || Things Coming Pot CAME To CLEVELAND AS AN INFIELDER "Alp ALSo PLAYED ot ewr CLEVELAND" SHowide PROMISE OF A BIG SEASON THIS YEAR ON THE Mop -To Pretty Pass By ENID NEMY Edmonton, April 17--(CP)-- The recent action of the' United States Tennis Association in sus- peding Pauline Betz from ama- teur temnis opens up interesting possibilities "for those who cling to the old-fashioned amateur standards of sport for the sake of the sponsors rather than for the athletes," says Tom (Calgary Ale bertan) Moore, He says that if the system spreads to Canada, there will un- doubtedly be some interesting sit- uations, "Miss Betz admitted she was interested in turning profession- 3 . +, but hadn't yet made up her ind. The old boys of tennis made it up for her, "It is probably the first time on record that an amateur body has based its actions on mental tele- pathy, If the trend keeps up no amateur will be able to even dream of a tennis ball and a dol- lar sign at the same time without losing his simon pure status." Barbara Ann Scott would likely be out on her ear if the temnis ideas got into figure skating ranks, Moore says. Several weeks ago she said she wasn't interested in movie contracts--yet, The youngster, who dreams of becoming a Nationa] Hockey Lea- gue player, would be unable to play amateur hockey . . , "The silly little boy had a nasty thought and he's out of hockey for life, Gotta keep the sport clean, you know."

There have bean years when Marion failed to hit a single ho- mer in an entire campaign and he hag hit only 17 out of the park in seven years. Last year his average slumped way off to .233 and there were stories that Mr, Shortstop was on the dowm- grade, One day when Marion was tak- ing batting practice in Florida, Musial, the 1946 batting king and most valuable player in the National League, caught a flaw in his stance, "I think you would get a little more power if you didn't take such a wide stance," Musial ad- vised his teammate, Marion changed his stance and started hitting with more author- ity.
