Tony Can't Worry About Baer! That New Saloon Comes Firs
_~— By HENRY M'LEMORE _ United Press Staff Correspondent . NEW YORK, May 28.—Tony Galento came to town riding on a pony—of brandy. : He came in from his Jersey gin mill to post a $2500 guarantee that he would show up on the night of July 2 for his “fight of the fools” with Max Baer. : “This is nuts, just nuts,” he.said when he handed over the money. “Making me put up good dough to show I won't run out on Baer. I can beat both him and that lug of
a brother of his at the same time.”|
As if to prove his scorn for Baer, and how lightly he holds him as a “fighter, Galento announced that the first vhase of his training, which starts today, would consist cf nothing more rigorous than supervising the construction.of his ‘new saloon. He'll go a few light rounds with some blueprints, hoist a light fixture here, wrestle a few mirrors there, and discuss strategy and tactics with the carpenters. 7 When Galento settles down to real training, which will probably ; be two or three ‘days before the
fight, he’ll work in the ‘combination |
[pool hall and gymnasium he h:s
used for years. To the average man this site would be a trifle on the unhealthy side, what with its ngway ventilation and sunbeam-prods walls. Bui to Galento there is sumething bracing in stale ciger. smoke and imprisoned liniment ani resin fumes. - ! Galento has recovered a great deal, if not altogether, from ths shock of-Joe Jacob's death. For 2 while he “3rieved so acutely. that wise men along Cauliflower Alley felt that he was finished as p fighter. § “I'll fight Baer just as I wou have if Joe hadn’t died,” he. saic. “Maybe I'll fight a little 'harde:. He's gone, but in my head hell b: in my correr, and I'll win for hin. “I'll make Baer quit. He can% take it, and everybody knows if. He'll be lucky to ge four heats with me.” |
Tony was reminded that with only | West. ¢
a few minor changes. this was exactly what Baer had said abou’ him. * “Don’t pay no attention to tha: guy,” Tony said. “He's ‘a pop-0 7 guy. Alweys talking and alway; bra ging.” §

Tribe One Up On the Hens
Times Special TOLEDO, May 28,—Escaping with last night's game by a whisker, the Indianapolis Tribesters were one up in the series with the Mud Hens as
|they rested today before going out
under the lights tonight for a second struggle, - ©. : . Mike Balas probably will be called upon to try his hand ‘on the Redskins’ mound unless Manager Griffin decides to send Earl Caldwell to the firing line, Huge Earl, obtained

"|" The Indians annexed the series lopener at Swayne Field, 5 to-4, but
spent some anxious moments in the ninth. Lloyd Johnson held a lead of 5 to 1, after the Tribe batted in the ninth, but in the Hens’ half of the final inning he lost his cunning. : : The home boys put over three

save the game for Indianapolis. The Indians tallied a run in the first frame and one more in the sixth. In the Hens’ half of the sixth Landrum walloped a \nome run for Toledo with none on.
Score Three In Eighth The Redskins evidently had a bunch that all was not well and they put over a big inning-in the eighth good for three runs—just erough to win as later action by Toledo disclosed. Lester Wirkkala and PF. Johnson toiled on the Toledo’ rubber, the latter pitching the ninth. The Hens cutbatted the Tribesters, 10 hits to eight. It, was the Indians’ third victory in four starts on the current trip. ;

{Out of Open
_ NEW YORK, May 28 (U. P.).— Four former Open champions—men who ‘once were rated as the top golfers of the world—will be on the sidelines when the firing starts-in the National Open Golf Championship at Cleveland on June 6. | They: lost out yesterday when more than 1100 persons went out across courses in. all parts of the country competing for the 139 places available this year. The ones who failed to shoot well enough to qualify for the Open were Freddie
'Farlane and Billy Burke. Add to those victims of the whims of golf the name of Benny Hogan, the pint-size pro from Texas who was one of the hottest guys along thé winter circuit this year. Hogan, one of 100 men trying for the 17 places open in the New York City district, finished 18th. | It is probable, however, that he will get to
Iplay at Cleveland, for Frank Stra-
faci, an amateur who finished 17th, indicated he might withdraw to give Hogan a shot at the biggest prize in golf. Bi Six other former Open champions compelled to go. through the qualifying grind in various parts of the country came through with scorés low enough to get them in —Walter. Hagen, Gene Sarazen, Johnny Farrell, Johnny Goodm Sammy Parks and Tony Manero. The lone Hoosier to gain a place
{in the starting lineup was John
David of Indianapolis, 1939 Indiana intercollegiate champion who fired a 151. David competed in the Chicago district. |
