By United Press Principals — Champion. Tony Zale of Gary, 1nd. vs. Marcel Cerdan of Casablanca, Morocco. Title at Stake—World middleweight championship. Distance—15 rounds. Site—Roosevelt Stadium. Expected Gate—=$300,000. Weather Forecast—Fair and he; Betting—2Zale favored at 7%

away from Zale for five heats and then put in the slug on poor old tired Tony. In a long career Tony has just about run out of young guys. Some of them should have been Olympic sprinters, But Zale usually caught up to them.

AT 34 HE is only two years u older than Marcel, yet still some of the seers harp on that difference. That two-year bulge means about as much as a choice of whether you would rather get Tun over by a quarry truck or a moving van. There's not much future in either one. Cerdan’s challenge is reminiscent of the title bid made by another flower of La Belle France. He, too, was a good fighter known as the orchid man— Georges Carpentier. Georges, too, ran into a couple of timid triphammers. * So curfew rings tonight for the challenger named Cerdan. And I'd like you to remember there's!

Adair went to Franklin while ' Chambers raced in- the. eastern part of the state, "They had competed against each other many years. “In my estimation he was one of the best drivers,” Chambers said.
