HE'S A FORMER GOLDEN - GLOVER

MELIO BETTINA, the young light heavyweight boxer who upset the veteran, Tiger Jack Fox, in New York last week and annexed the New York State title in the division, is a product of Eastern Golden Gloves tournaiments, "© |He hails from Beacon, N. Y., and carries a good punch, which is the main asset in the climb of the fistic ladder. ... Yes, he brought home the bacon to Beacon at the expense of Fox, who was a 3-to-1 favorite. The Hudson Valley Italian fights from a crablike crouch and a right to the body and a left to the head formed his artillery against the Tiger. Bettina’s manager doesn’t fear John Henry Lewis if the National Boxing Association’s light heavy champion would care for a clash-to decide the a disputed crown.”, . . Melio Melio Bettina hopes to advance into the heavyweight division in another year or so and get in line a chance at Joe Louis’ title. ; t is said Bettina doesn’t appear to take a punch any too well and will have to do a lot of stiff sparring if he’s going to remain in the top flight picture, . op He seems to lose his bearings when he is tagged solidly, although his courage is not questioned. . . . Hard work and more ex-

perience may iron out the flaws, however. # ” ” ” 2 ”

Fire round knockouts are nothing new in the prize ring profession. . . . In 1930 Al Singer of New York figured on both ends of quick] bouts for the world’s lightweight title. . . . He won the crown on a one -round k. 0. and got knocked out of the championship in one canto. In July Singer became king of the division by flattening Sammy Mandell in 1 minute 40 seconds and four months later lost to Tony Canzoneri, crown and all, in 1 minute 6 seconds.

and Tony previously had fought a slashing 10-round draw, but somewhere along the line Singer grew a china chin and couldn’t take it any more. e was knocked -out by Jimmy McLarnin in September, before the Canzoneri match, in a nontitle fight, and that belting probably softened him up for the Italian.

Baseball Scribes ‘Razz Pastimers

NEW YORK, Feb. 6 (U. P.)— The New York Baseball Writers’ annual banquet has grown up, but the scribes themselves are the same today as the youthfuk fun-lovers who got together 15 years ago for a modest beefsteak party and began lampooning owners, managers, players and umpires alike. It took a huge ballroom in the Commodore Hotel to accommodate

a blue ribbon crowd of more than 1000 for the writers’ 16th annual

Manager Joe McCarthy of the New York Yankees, Jimmy Foxx of the Boston Red Sox and Umpire Bill Klem, veteran [of the National League. But they came not only to see McCarthy awarded the outstanding achievement plaque for his unprecedented feat in piloting. three successive world championship

the player of the year, and Klem awarded a plaque for outstanding service to baseball. They came to hear the game's big names raked over the coals—in fun—as only the scribes can do it. Larry MacPhail, business manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers and Bill Terry, manager of the New York Giants, were two of the principal targets for the evening’s laughs, but few of the bigger names were spared.

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1939

Here is a general view of the Indiana Alleys, scene of the 33d annual men’s bowling tournament, as

a few of the teams went pin-battering.

and also will include singles and doubles events.

The Klee and Coleman team of the Indiana Recreation League, took advantage of a 722 handicap and to-

day was resting in the top spot of the 33d City wling Tournament with a 3328 total. Meanwhile, Helen Rohr not only is the Class A Women’s City Bowling champion of the year, but she holds a half interest in the Class A doubles title as well. : In final competition at the Parkway drives last night Rohr outclassed a field of the best women bowlers Indianapolis has to offer and rolled games of 153, 177 and 221 for a 551. Her nearest competition came from Tillie Kagel, who pounded the maples for 543 to edge out Christina Urbancic, with 541 for the second spot. In Class A doubles, Rohr teamed with Bon Burg to walk with the championship by a handsome margin x 1091 to 1074 for the nearest rival.

Dorothy Erler Is Double Winner

Class B singles was won by Dorothy Erler who knocked the pins at the rate of 175, 226 and 135 for a 536. She also took the all-events title, counting 432 in team competition and 498 in the doubles event. Team honors in this class were captured by Ceil Cairns and Falta with a score of 999.

Class A doubles, Eva Dawson and Evalyn Wiesman finished far below the winners with 1046. Dawson rolled 505 and Wiesman hit for 541. After two days’ of competition in ‘the men’s tourney Koweba Coffee stood in second place with an actual score of 2894, the highest made

so far, or 3290 after adding the 396 handicap. Dan Abbott of the Falls City Beer squad topped all individual scorers with his 736 made in the last round of rolling last night. After hitting for a spare in his first frame, Abbot struck until he rolled his third pall in the 10th frame and then he got nine pins. The Connecting Rod five, which was leading after Saturday’s games, slipped to fifth place with its handicap score of 3234. Pepsi Cola of the Central League, with a handicap of 580 pins, slipped into a third position tie with Popeye R. C. A. with a handicap score of 3244. The R. C. A. crew was allowed a 324 handicap.

Not a Smile From Yost

Fielding H. Yost is down here preaching at boys’ clubs and Babbitt luncheons. . . . Without cracking even the faintest smile, the Michigan man told the Jacksonville Kiawanians that “football cannot exist -in colleges with even a hint of professionalism.” . . . Fortunately none of his tolerant listeners asked him to put that in writing. . , . A note from Soldier Bartfield: “I want to call your attention to the fact that I fought Harry Greb five times and beat him three times, and in the Toledo fight to which you refer I knocked him down in the seventh round. When I did this Dan McKetrick, my manager, began to shout at me from the corner, For this he was fined $25. McKetrick took this out of my end, which was $500, and that was the last I ever saw of it.” ... We are pleased to note the boys finally got around to recognizing that Joe McCarthy is a pretty fair manager. that it took a long time to convince some people the world is round. . .. Domestic note: Down here they call cottage cheese, cow cheese. . « « And there is a new gustatory item called grape fruit bread. . . . And you can have it. , , » When Frank MacDonell, boss of the Michigan Boxing Commission, said he could lick Tony Galento he delivered the insult supreme because we feel that with a good night and a fresh hair cut, even we could get at least a draw with Mr. MacDonell, who weighs only 128 pounds and wears blinkers. . . .

Competition is to be waged in both novice and open .classes and tournament officials today were weighing the advisability of carrying the event to a fifth night, Feb. 17.

Dick Powell, 245, high powered Florida matman, tackles Roy Dunn, 218, Texas, in the semi-windup for one fall. Powell tossed Charlie Strack last week. There is much at stake for Coach Thom when he opposes Mephisto. Although it is a nontitle affair, Thom is anxious to keep his record clear and is anxious to take the champ. Billy was “tops” in the division for two years. It is for two falls out of three.

Reds’ Leader Is Rewarded

McKechnie Given Contract Through 41 Season.

NEW YORK, Feb. 6 (U. P.)—Bill McKechnie was rewarded today for his “miracle managing” of the Cin-

two-year contract extension. McKechnie, who came from the Boston Bees and lifted the Reds from the cellar in 1937 to the first division last year, still had a year to go under his original 1938-39 agreement. Owner Powel Crosley Jr., lengthened; the contract to include 1940-41 { under virtudlly the same terms. / - “The first contract included two chances to win a $5000 bonus which McKechnie collected. It provided an extra reward should the Reds finish in the first division or if home attendance topped 450,000, the approximate 1937 figure.” McKechnie’s efforts were responsible for a turnout of better than . 700,000 in Cincinnati as the Reds . ended up in fourth place. “Under the new agreement, the clause pertaining to the Reds’ place in the race was eliminated, but the same figures were retained in the attendance clause. The contract is believed to call for a straight salary of $25,000 a year and an extra $5000 bonus should attendance hold up.
