Ohio's Tony | Galento’ Fails To Land One Punch; Denson Blatuens Him in 43 Seconds
By FRANK WIDNER «By this time, Bob Arthur, Ohio’s alleged. “Tony Galento, ” should be back in his home state and as far as _ Indianapolis boxing fans are concerned, it's best that he
ay there.
It seems as though Arthur made a big hit with the
” 1b pug followers here ‘several months ago when’ he splattered Lou Thomas all over the ring for three minutes only to be knocked told in the second round by the sol-
: digr MP.
The fans liked thé way he got in gnd slung the leather and figured that matching him against Johnny Denson, ‘local pride,
ld produce a lot of fireworks. K It did.
Arthur lasted exactly 43 seconds against Denson last night on thé scheduled 10-round main-go event of the Hercules Athletic club’s belated boxing card and from this ‘corner’s point of view it _ is a wonder how he ever had the nerve to go in the ring against the
heavier Denson.
Before the: massacre started, Arthur was engaged in an earnest nversation with one of his seconds and apparently that was all
he remembered.
Smacked Resin With a Bang
) HE AND DENSON met in the center of the ring, they danced und “Tike a couple of terpsichorean experts for about five, or six
onds and then the dirge started.
A. Arthur suddenly kissed the canvas so hard he bloodied his nose ~and the crowd wondered ‘what happened. Many ringsiders claimed they didn’t see Arthur get hit hard enough to floor him and as far £ as this corner is concerned, we didn’t even see the blow as he was
on the opposite side of the ring.
Never the less; the Ohio “fat boy” smacked the-resin with a bang.
and by the time Referee Dick Patton had counted as far as
could
without flagging him out, Arthur was on his feet wondering whether “It was the Yanks taking Tunisia or one of those B-24’s that slapped
Vhim in the face.
Anyway he didn’t have ‘to wonder Joiig for Denson caught him in the corher and applied a right-handed persuader flush to the jawbone that didn't travel over six inches. ‘Arthur went down, out cold.

Brewers Open 5-Game Series Here Tonight
By EDDIE ASH Times Sports Editor Trailing Milwaukee’s haughty léague-leading Brewers by 6% games, the Indians are in a position
to get back into the thick of the |na
pennant race in the series opening at Victory field tonight. This is Milwaukee's last invasion of Indianapolis this season, and if the Redskins only can get “hot” and stay that way the next three nights flag hopes will be revived in the local wigwam, The series calls for five games, two tonight, two tomorrow night, and a single tilt Thursday. Tonight's first’ game, a twilighter, is to get under way at 6:45, and will be preceded by entertainment and ceremonies under the direction of the 40 & 8 of the American Legion. The. pre-game program is to start at 6 p. m. with a band concert. Field events for members of both teams are to be held. Members of the Legion baseball committee hope to pack the park as an. extra urge to the Indians to maul the Brewers. Brewer Hitters Top League In games between them to date, the ‘Brewers top the Indians seven to six, proving they are fairly evenly matched, although Milwaukee holds a wider margin in league statistics. They are leading the circuit in - club batting, and are sixth in club fielding.. The Indians are fourth in club batting and last in fielding. The Brewers specialize in extra-base wallops. Grey Clarke, their third-sacker, is the league's top hitter. The Brewers lost an extra-inning struggle to the Red Birds in Columbus last night and their league lead over the second-place Birds was trimmed to 4% games. The Birds are ahead of the Indians by two games. Tribe Here Through Sunday
The Indians have nine more games to play in their. current home
stand, five with Milwaukee, four-
with Kansas City. The Tribe is to be at home through Sunday. The schedule: Tonight — Double-header with Milwaukee, first game at 6:45 (American Legion night; no courtesy tickets). Tomorrow — Double-header with Milwaukee, first game at 6:45. Thursday—Milwaukee, 8:30: Friday—EKansas City, 8:30 (ladies’ night). Saturday—Kansas City, 8:30. Sunday — Double - header with Kansas City, first game at 2 p. m: ‘George Diehl and Glen Fletcher are slated for the Tribe mound assignments against the Brewers tonight. It's going to be a tough series on the Indians’ pitchers.

The 1942 women's state champion, Miss Virginia Binford, and the defending city champion, Miss Florence Wolff (left to right), interrupt their conversation for the photographer. Miss, Wolff lost her
crown yesterday.
‘| love sets. Playing a brand of tennis that would have served him well against most opponents, Wagner found alJeph ever) shot outplayed by the fifth-ranking singles and No. 1 doubles player. With a short breather,- Talbert jumped a notéh on the other contestants by taking on Bub Ittenbach in the second round and administered another lopsided defeat to the tune of 6-0, 6-1.
Gallery Follows Leader .
The small gallery gathered to watch the opéning rounds glued itself to the Talbert tilts and was treated to a brand of tennis rarely seen in the capital city. Varying his service to outwit fis opponents, Talbert would literally blast them off the courts with a “steam ball” gir teaping. with slow twists.
A favorite shiot ‘which ‘drew the “ohs and ahs” of the crowd was a cut ball which never did show more than, five inches of daylight. under it on the bounce. Against it, a shovel would have been better than a racquet. Meanwhile. a. startling upset was scored in the women’s division as Mrs. Louise Murphy set down Defending Champion Miss Florence Wolff, 75, 0-6, 6-4. Loses Her Crown
Miss Wolff had been seeded No. 1 in the women’s section of the tournament and was considered a favorite to retain her crown.
Displaying coolness under the fire of the defending champion, Mrs. Murphy stroked her way to. victory in: a. hard-fought first set only to drop a love set immediately thereafter. The final set saw the two opponents at their best, though both were beginning to show the effects of the heat.
' From here on in the women’s division looks wide open with Mrs. Murphy leading the band. Tough opponents are left in Miss Virginia Binford; women’s 1942 state champion, who set down Miss Doris Hurt
who toppled Miss Emily Flickinger, seeded No. 3, and Miss Marianne Gallagher, who defeated Anne Atkins, the 1942 public parks champion. Back in the male division all seed-ed-players came through with flying colors as Art Linne drubbed Harry Helft, 6-2, 6-0; Jack Sunderland advanced when G. Slajchert defaulted, and Andy Bicket, specialist, 1-c, downed Louis Hensley, 6-1, 6-1.

F ritzie ZivicSmashes Way To K. 0. Win
PITTSBURGH, Aug. 10 (U. P.).— Ring-wise Fritzie Zivic ranked today as an even-money bet for his forthcoming bout with Lightweight
Champion Bob Montgomery after demonstrating conclusively that despite his age and 171 bouts he still retains the savage punching ability that made him the most famous of the five fighting brothers. The former welterweight champion, now 30 and well past the age when most fighters have left the ring, smashed -his way to a lopsided technical kayo of ‘Young Kid McCoy in the fourth reund of a scheduled 10-round bout at Forbes field last night.
Flurry of Punches
Zivié, who meets Montgomery at Philadelphia Aug. 23, displayed all the rapid reflexes of a youngster las he slung. McCoy over the ropes with a blistering flurry of lefts and rights to end the contest after two minutes and 12 seconds of the fourth. A few minutes earlier he had belted McCoy, originally from Detroit and now a sergeant in the air corps at Mitchel Field, N.” Y,, almost out of the ring. Fritzie put McCoy on the road out with a right cross to the jaw that was followed by a steaming left. The right sent McCoy reeling: and the left hurled him half-way onto the apron of the ring. The soldier, who had held his veteran opponent to a draw in their last meeting two years ago at Madison Square Garden, pulled himself to his feet at the count of nine but ran into a hurricane of leather that sent him, face downward, over the lower rope. Again, he staggered to his feet but Referee Buck McTiernan halted the bout.

Lee Savold K. O.'s Nova
CHICAGO, Aug. 10 (U. P.).— Lee Savold, the blond punche' master from Paterson, N. J., to day kept one of the prize ring’s great winning streaks intact and . sought ways to prolong it. 3 Savold scored his fourth cone: secutive knockout victory last’ night at Wrigley field when he flattened Lou Nova of Van Nuys, Cal, in one minute and 40 seconds of the second round. : The end of the battle came with startling suddenness midway ‘through the second round. After taking the worst of an exchange early in the round, Savold pinned Nova on the ropes in Lee’s corner. He smashed a left hook to the stomach that ‘caused the Cali«i i fornian to gasp audibly and then hammered a right directly unded the heart. When stung by the blow under the heart, Nova spun. halfway | around and then fell face down on the canvas. He twitched as the count reached seven, but couldn't . make even an attempt to struggle to his feet. He remained flate tened several seconds after Refes : ree Tommy Gilmore finished We. count.
