ODDS AND ENDS:
Mike Jacobs has been asked
by the war department if he
would accept a commission as a
colonel in behalf of the splendid
work he has done for the Army
Relief Service . . . As usual
Mike is turning it down with a
polite thanks . . . He still is very
much interested in arranging the
championship fight between Joe
Louis and Billy Conn . . . a
fight that he firmly believes will
net $1,000,000 for the Army .. .
And speaking of money for the
Army Relief—Lieut. Ed Frutig
has been doing quite a bit of
this through athletic carnivals he
has staged.
Mauri Rose will once again
remain the champion race driver
of the year . . . He won the last
Memorial Day 500 mile grind
when it was run in 1941 and
because of postponements due to
the war—the crown still rests on
Mauri's dapper brow.
