Ducks 1 ie With Reds for 4th Place GORDON PICKED BY MANY FANS Sailor Lad Found Favorite in Various Quarters Battle Nears as Fight fans who have been va cillating back and forth between the training quarters of Teddy Pox and Willie Gordon a goodly percentage of them anyway are picking the ex-gob to win Thurs day night's main event at the ar mory. This verdict Is based partly on the fact that Gordon has won twice from Benny Pels, who so far has broken even with Fox, winning one decision and losing the other. But It is also based partly on the speed and clever ness Gordon Is showing In his workouts. If Gordon does win, there won't bo any alibis from the Fox camp. Teddy has been working hard, and one glimpse of him as he performs in the armory gym is sufficient to convince anyone that ho is in shape arms, legs, wind and ev erything. Pets Plans to Cnalleng Winner Pels, by the way. will be here to challenge the winner Thursday night. He still thinks he Is en titled to a deciding fight against Fox, but he wouldn't be averse to taking on Gordon again. Their two fights in Portland were among the hest ever staged there, fans who saw them have declared. Matchmaker Harry Plant has signed up a couple of heavy- weignts for a four round scrap; Bob Kelly, who plased the fans with his gameness when matched against a heavier youth from Jef ferson several months ago. and Bob Hagan. The latter is also a lo cal boy and this will be his first appearance In the ring here. How ever, he has shown a lot of ag gressiveness and action while serving as a sparring partner In Gordon't camp, and Plant is con fident that he will make things interesting for Kelly. Art Akers, southpaw whose in troduction to the fans on the last card, was an auspicious one, has a tough assignment in meeting Charles O'Leary of Portland In the six round semi-final. O'Leary has appeared here before, knocking out Mclntyre a couple of years ago. That leaves only two bouts to bo arranged, and the matchmaker has a world of material to pick from. Not only are there a lot of well known local scrappers avail able, but some new ones are show ing up. If he could find an opponent for him. Plant could send the fa mous Harry Sioux into the ring, Sioux a couple of years ago was on the way to the top in the 126 pound region, and nobody could stop him until he met Young Na- tionalista. He is now in Salem and shoes WW V h w bility to give you all that you ex pect and more.

( AP) Winsome little Sarah Palfrey, of BrooWine, Mass., stole the spotlight away from the other feminine tennis stars on the courts of the west side stadium this afternoon. Not even the straight-set victories of such famous in ternational figures as Helen WUU.O Helen Jacobs and Betty Nut hall could compare in pppular appro al with the dramatic match in which the smiling Sarah out played the British veteran, Mrs. qorothy Shepherd-Barron, 8-l, 6-0, 6-4, to reach the third round of the national women's cham pionship. Fairly earning her victory, Miss Palfrey scored no less than 50 placements in the three sets while Mrs. Shepherd-Barron was tally ing 16. From the base line she was steadier than the English woman with the wierd double wind-up" service, and at the net her volleying won point after point.

The defending champion has lost just one game in two match es. That she is even more for midable that last year is indicated by the fact that Mrs. Chapln took six games from her in the quar ter-finals of the 192S tournament.

There hasn't been any change in the date, and the fights will be Thursday night at the usual hour.
