i Nichols, Kowal Have 149s

* Bracketed at 149 behind the leader were Clayton Nichols, the South Grove swinger, and Henry Kowal, Speedway’s state amteur champion. Nichols had a 76 yesterday, while Kowal produced a 74. : Many in the large gallery who follow Kowal because “he plays tery shot as it should be played,” lieved the one-stroke disadvan-} fage couldn’t keep him away fro the crown today. It took Henry a little time to get warmed up to the Broadmoor layout yesterday, but he streaked up the back nine in fine style. Never over par in the second half, he picked up more strokes by birdie-ing the 12th, 16th and 18th projects. «Three strokes behind Mr. Reed Were Dr. G. P. Silver of Riverside gnd Paul Carr of Speedway. Silver moved into the top ranks with a dazzling 75 yesterday to offset a 76, which - hadn’t created much of a sensation on Monday at: Highland. Carr, on the other hand, slipped at Broadmoor and it really took his 1dw 71 of the day before to.save him from oblivion.

. Talbot Is Sixth Man

< The sixth man in this title-bound sextet was careful Phil Talbot of Bloomington, whose shot-saving has carried him right along with Messrs. Kowal and John David, two companions in his foursome. Phil fired a 75 yesterday for a ‘grand total of 152, just four swings behind leader Reed. - Five golfing gentlemen stood together at 154, but this was believed just too much of a handicap to overcome in 18 holes. They were Bill Russell of Speedway, Phil Renforth .of Speedway, Ed Juniper of Pleasant Run, Henry Timbrook of

Polo Season Opens Sunday

The first polo game of the season is scheduled between the Ft. Benjamin Harrison and Rolling Ridge teams at the fort field at 3 p. m. Sunday. Col. Ralph Talbot Jr., chief of staff of the Fifth Division and at present Commander of Ft. Harrison, will be the referee. Col. Talbot| is a former polo player. Just what the lineup will be in the initial game is uncertain at present but among the Army players expected to play are Lieut. Eddie Harthshorne and Capt. John J. Baker. Maj. T. |A. Sapia-Bosch broke his collar bone about two weeks ago while training one of his polo ponies and will be unable to play for about 10 days. Rolling Ridge players expected in the lineup include Conrad (Bruz) Ruckelshaus and his brother, Tom Ruckelshaus; Samuel Sutphin Jr. and David (Curley) McQuinn.

Franklin and J. 1 Chiumings of the Country Club. Another Country Clubber, Surge Enos, was blown off the title course yesterday. The eight putts he missed on the first 13 holes was the best explanation for his 83, which virtually nullified his pretty 72 of Monday. | The reverse of Mr. Enos’ plight was found in Len Oliver of Coffin, who turned up at Broodmoor with a 72 but had to hang it to a measly 84. Oliver went both ways in par figures and boasted birdies on the seventh, ninth, 11th and 18th cavities. Clark Espie was ready to go home after the Edwin L. Lennox Trophy as he came in to report an 89. Trouble on No. 5 that ended with a seven, Sixes on 11%and 18 and a costly eight on No. 17 were to blame for the defending champion’s soaring score. It was thé same story with John David, the home-run hitter from Hillcrest. Those [tee wallops of his couldn’t offset the damage accomplished by the traps and three-putt greens, and John reported a 79, which gave him a two-round total

of 157.

Baer and Beer Barrel Blimp Ask for No Ref—Refused

By JACK CUDDY United Press Staff Correspondent JERSEY CITY, N. J., June 26.—Abe J. Greene, New Jersey's one-man boxing commission, today. denied the desires of Tony Galento and Maxie Baer that their 15-round brawl at Roosevelt Stadium Tuesday night -be fought out without benefit of referee. Greene announced that “although this -is- a primitive battle that might well be conducted without a third man in the ring, there'll be a

Others who may play are Jesse An-

referee—and a good one. “We must consider the public in this matter, despite the wishes of Tony and Maxie to commit unhindered mayhem upon each other. The bout will be governed by the Marquis of Queensberry rules. (Greene smiled.) But since both are aboriginal bruisers, a wild, wide open fight is naturally expected, and the referee’s intervention will depend largely upon their offenses against public decency.” ‘

Braddock May Referee

Who will be the referee? Greene declared emphatically that he hasn't even considered this matter yet. However, many experts believe that former Champion Jim Braddock will be the unlucky fellow. Braddock of Woodcliff, N. J., is very popular among the fans in this area. Moreover, he is a licensed referee in this state. There is = possibility, however, that his friendship for Galento and dislike of Baer may prevent his appointment. Braddock, the “Cinderella Man,” wrested the crown from Baer in 1935. Fat Tony is the 2-1 favorite in light betting. Natives of the skeeter state have so much confidence in their own bulbous bartender that little Baer money is showing. However, the ticket sale is booming and Promoter Mike Jacobs expects it to out-draw last Thursday’s LouisGodoy title fight at New York which grossed $149,500.

Fat Tony Is Fit

Dr. Louis W. Dodson and Chief Inspector James Pellecchia — examined the battling bliiap at Summit, N. J., and reported that he was in excellent condition, including the right eye that was badly injured last September during his Philadelphia melee with Lou Nova.

The' complaining scales registeted 240 pounds, and a march around his circumference with the tape showed a waist of 42 inches. Which seemed | odd in view of his 43-inch chest (normal). A sports writer remarked, “If Tony’s chest is bigger than his belly, I shall sue my optician for obtaining money under false lenses.”

Hollerin’ Hymie

Booted Out

NEW YORK, June 26 (U. P.).— Hymie Caplin, manager of Lightweight Champion Lew Jenkins, has been indefinitely suspended by the New York Boxing Commission and may not be in Jenkins’ corner when he fights Welterweight Champion Henry Armstrong in a non-title bout July 17. The commission added a $100 fine to the suspension which was levied because Caplin signed for a Jenkins fight at the Broadway Arena when he had no contract on file with the commission as Jenkins’ manager.

Entries Made for Bowling Meet

Several entries already have been received for the mixed bowling tournament to be held at the air-condi-tioned Uptown alleys Sunday, according to E. J. Erler, manager. Entries for the 800-scratch sweepstakes for teams composed of two men and two women will be received until noon Sunday. Entries may be left with Erler at the Uptown alleys; Frances Leppert, manager of the Fountain Square alleys; Harry Koller, Parkway manager, or Judy Hindel, sweepstakes secretary. An 80 per cent handicap will be employed with the handicap based on averages in summer or spring leagues if 12 games have been rolled. Otherwise, winter league averages will be used. If entrants compete in more than one league, the highest average must be submitted.
