Boston Grapplers Headline Slate

Gill LaCrosse and Angelo Martinelli, two junior heavyweights out of Boston and both of whom have been consistent winners in local action, meet in the headliner on tonight's wrestling card at the

Armory. It is for two falls out of three, or 90 minutes. The skilled Martinelli was in last Tuesday's’ main event and came through with a triumph over Maurice Les Chappell. On the same program LaCross gained a. forfeit over Don Eagle when the latter injured a knee. A special semi-windup is an addéd attraction tonight and brings together a newcomer in Duke Kapalini of Hawaii and Warren Bockwinkle of St, Louis. The winner will get a chance within the near future at Wild Bill Longson, heavyweight champ. It is for one fall, or 45 minutes. The opener, at 8:30, listed for one fall, or 30 minutes, sends Irish McGee of Chicago against Nick Billins of Birmingham, Ala. a

CHICAGO, March. 27 (U. P).— Jake LaMotta had his 59th victory to his credit today. The veteran New York middleweight scored No. 59 with a six-round knockout over George (Sugar) Costner, Cincinnati, last night.

It was Costner's second consecutive knockout. In his last appearance here, he was flattened in the | first round by Ray (Sugar) Robin-; son. Previously Costmer had won| 23 straight fights.

CHICAGO, March 27 (U. P.) — Wartime golf can be saved only by golfers” themselves, Joe Graffis, a director of the National Golf Foundation said today. Grafis warned that there will be no new golf balls manufactured for civilians this year and that golfers must send all of their old balls to be reprocessed if the game is to sur vive this summer, =~ : The government has ordered 960,000 new balls and has given the manufacturers the synthetic rubber l0- make them, he. said, but the new balls are ear-marked for the
