Latest Estimates Put Galento-Louis Gate at $350,000

By LESLIE AVERY United Press Staff Correspondent

EW YORK, June 24.—-The Joe Louis-Tony Galento heavyweight title fight that started out to be a $1,000,000 attraction when the papers were signed in Miami last February, has faded to a $350,000 show today, but the latter figure is almost double what some of the box office sleuths were predicting a week ago. If the fight had been held a month after Promoter Mike Jacobs got the signatures on the dotted line, it might have gone a million but Galento and his manager Joe Jacobs were out to pick up a few quick bucks, and

made a fatal cross-country tour. Galento took his own sparring partners along for the exhibitions, but he looked so bad there was a transcontinental titter. A bad press in several of the larger cities was almost a lethal dose at the ticket wickers. Two weeks ago there was some discussion in the caulifiower patch as to whether the Henry Armstrong-Lou

Ambers lightweight title fight in August might outdraw Louis-Galento. The picture has changed, however, in the last week—since Galento moved his training camp from Asbury Park to Summit, N. J. Tony has looked a 100 per cent better in training. He has received a good press.

Indianapolis Times Sports

Jacobs hit the headlines from Times Square to Nob Hill with the “gimmick” charges about Louis, which he quickly withdrew. Then the sagacious little manager let it be known Galento would ask for Artie Donovan to referee the fight, because Donovan wouldn’t interfere with Tony's tactics. It began to look like a good old pier six brawl when the Louis camp replied that Joe was prepared to “fight fire with fire” and that he would be just a little bit rougher and tougher than Tony.

Then the New York Commission got its oar in by warning both men that no foul tactics would be tolerated.

Still, in all his sparring exhibitions, Tony appeared to be a past master of the billygoat butt, the elbow excavator, and the backhand bop. The fight writers believe Louis will become acquainted with all three blows—if the fight lasts a round or two.

It’s even money right now that Louis will knock Tony out in three rounds. It’s 10 to 1 on Louis to win, | 2-1 that he wins inside five round, 3-1 Tony will not come up for the 11th, and 4-1 against his finishing the 15 rounds. If you like Galento to stop Louis, you should get 15 or 18 to 1.

On the basis of her performance in the city event, the people who understand all the mysteries of this game give her a good chance of reaching this second goal. In fact, during the last three years, Miss Randall has come closer and closer to catching up with Miss Elizabeth Dunn, the

present state titleholder. Beating Miss Dunn, though, is almost like shutting out the Yanks, writing the great American novel or fiying svlo across the ocean. It can be done, but only at rare intervals, for Miss Dunn has played in sO many tournaments and been on top so long that cuppy lies, rimmed putts, noisy galleries or any of the thousand other things that take the snap out of the games of other players never bother her,

UT MISS RANDALL also is a player with great competitive spirit. She proved that yesterday at Meridian Hills in the final match of the city championship when she rallied after being two down at the end of three holes finally to defeat Miss Dorothy Ellis, 3 and 2. It was her third city title in as many years. Considering the fact that one or the other of them had to negotiate full or haif stymies on more than half of the holes, they actually were hitting the bali even better than the medal scores indicate. In the outgoing nine Miss Randall and Miss Ellis, whose home course is Meridian Hills, halved the first and fifth holes. Miss Ellis took the second and third, and the rest went tc the defending champion. For that nine Miss Randall had a medal 41 as compared to 43 for her opponent. With the 10th and 13th holes ving to Miss Ellis and the 11th and 12th halved, the match still was undecided when they reached the 14th tee with Miss Randall being only one up at that point.

By GEORGE KIRKSEY ] United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, June 24.—There’s going to be some¥un in the National League yet—that was the verdict today as those folks who were predicte ing that the Cincinnati Reds would run away with the race started looke ing for man-holes and dark corners.

True to National League pattern, the pennant race is beginning to tighten up as the revived Giants and the Cubs press forward to get at the Reds’ throats. No longer can the Giants be ignored. The job Bill Terry is doing with his misfit gang is little short of miraculous. The Giants have won six out of eight in the West and taken 12 cut of their last 15. The Cubs have run off six in a row. The Giants cut the Reds’ lead to four and a half games over the idle Cardinals yesterday by walloping the league-leaders, 7-0. It was a tough setback inasmuch as Paul Derringer was belted out of the box for the third straight time. Big Paul hasn't won a game in two weeks, and his loss of form has put a crimp in the Reds’ pitching plans. The Giants reduced the gap to first place to six and a half games when Bill Lohrman mowed down the Reds with two hits—singles by Hershberger and Myers. The Giants slugged out 16 hits with Zeke Bonura leading the attack with four singles. Mel Ott hit homer No. 11.

Bill Lee beat Max Butcher to give the Cubs a 4-3 win over the Phile lies. The Cubs scored the winning tally in the ninth when Stan Hack scored from second after Emmett Mueller booted Augie Galan’s roller. Pittsburgh won its third game in 11 starts when Russ Bauers, laid up most of the season with a lame arm, staged a brilliant comeback, holding the Dodgers to seven hits. The Pirates won, 2-1. Paul Waner’s single drove in the deciding tally. Bob Feller hung up victory No. 11 as Cleveland trimmed the Athe letics, 12-5. The Indians got 17 hits, and scored seven runs in the seventh in which Bruce Campbell hit two doubles. Feller allowed 10

hits, walked five and fanned six. McQuinn Cops

Capitalizing on weak approaches by Miss Ellis, she took a five on the 398-yvard 14th to her opponents six, and a six on the 563-yard 13th to Miss Ellis’ seven. Three up then at the 16th tee, Miss Randall appeared to be safely in when her tee shot was on the carpet. Miss Ellis also was on, but Miss Randall in missing her approach putt laid her a dead stymie. As a result both halved the hole with threes, ending the match. EJ = » = s 8

Picard Shows the Way

In Anthracite Up en Flay Hunt Sparkles McLemore Would Like to Make a Test At Tony’s Camp, but He Needs $1000

SCRANTON, Pa, June 24 (U. P). Henry Picard, the Hershey Howitzer, paced the field into the second round of the $5000 Anthracite Open at Scranton Country Club today after carding a blistering 635. five under par, on the first 18 of the 72-hole test to take a fourstroke lead. Picard slammed home an eagle, five birdies and 10 pars, going one over on two holes, for a 32-33—863. His score broke by three strokes the course record set by Dick Metz in winning the 1933 Pennsylvania Open. The surprise of the tournament was the poor showing made by Byron Nelson, Reading's new National Open champion, who shot his worst round of golf in two years for a 3840—78. Nelson four-putted once

and twice™took three on the green | to trail Picard by 13 strokes. Frank Moore of Bretton Woods, N. H., was in second place with 3435—69, one under par. Sammy Snead of White Sulphur Springs, W.
