In Boston's first "buttle of champions." wralth-llke Pep of Hartford. Conn . won the unanimous non-titb-j ID-round decision over the swarthy. I dead-panned Mexican from El CenI tro. Calif , with ease. In this particular brawl. Pep the bigger man scaled only a quarter-pound more than his opponent as he tagged Oritz with his first defeat in nearly three years, and snapped the Mexican's victory string at 28 straight Pep. who io recognized as 126-pottnd ruler In New York and affiliated stales, weighed 127*4 pounds. Oritz came in at 127. of Tar more importance than the slight difference in weights and size was Pep's boxing ekill against the hardest puncher he ever faced. Willie, the Connecticut will-o-the-wisp. minimized the menace of "El Hocko" from El Centro by his own attacking speed, his elusiveness and hi« tying up tactics.

(UP)—Almost In secret, one of the year's richest and most interesting races the Maesu,-husetts |so,ihh> handicap will be run off tomorrow at Huffolk Downs, with a Held that will include First Fiddle. Four Freedoms. Alqueat. etc. Why the lack of fanfare for such an event? a classic that was won in past years by such notablas as Menow. Fighting Fox. Eight Thirty. Top Row. Time Supply, Seabiscuit. War Relic. Whirlaway. and Market Wise.

A Boston horse-player replied to this question as follow*: "Neither thie race nor any other race atHuffolk needs fanfare, as you call It. You could take eight pigs and let them race at Suffolk this year and the crowds would turn out to bet.” Is this true? Has the mutual madness so mantled the hub city? Horace Wade, publicity purveyor for Suffolk, attewers "yes and no.” Mr. Wade feels that the horseplayer glkls the gelding* a bit when he expresses such confidence in a polke for porkers a pageant of pigs. However. Mr. Wade admits that Suffolk Is having the most successful meeting In its history a meeting that should hit its high spots tomorrow with the |SOr min .Massachusetts and Saturday with the (21,000 Mayflower stake for t wo-year-oida. It seems that the Suffolk meeting. during Its nine previous weeks, has averaged about fk&O.OOU a day during last year's competition. Hoeton noted for its culture, a* well as the cod and the bean- is earnestly trying to elevate the status of the gee-gee. A Copley Plata waitress was asked: "What do you sdkge*t, aiater?" Looking at her handicap sheet, instead of the menu, she dreamily replied. "The early line show* First Fiddle nine to five." The dining room Diana meant that Mns. Edward Mulrennan's First Fiddle, carrying top weight of 124 pounds, is the 9-5 favorite to win the Maiwachuaetis handicap. Interviewed further on the subject, the plater wth the platter informed that Greentree stables' Four Freedoms was rated next at 5-2: and A. C. Ernst s Alquest at 4-1. Hut she was shopping for a better price among the other tom certain starters-Alex Barth. Castleman, Ramillle* and Coronal. She concluded. "Yea—we can arrange to have your order of toast buttered; but be sure to remember that H. H. Miller’s Incoming will start only if the track is muddy. You'd butter—l mean better keep an eye on him. .
