Listless
SUMMIT, NJ, June 24-ff)-Tony
Galento took his next to last
drill today for his 15-reund
heavyweight championship bout
with Joe Louis in New York next
Wednesday night.
While 1200 of his Jersey well-
wishers sat on the sunny hillside
and cheered, the Orange saloon
owner stepped through five brisk
rounds with two of his stooges,
then polished .off the workout
with three sessions of bag punch
ing and rope skipping.
Galento boxed with durable Abe
Feldman of Schenectady and the
mammoth Mickey McAvoy of
Brooklyn. Both were glad when
It was over.
Manager Joe Jacobs said Tony
will do his last boxing tomorrow.
Only light exercises and maybe a
little road work are scheduled tor
Monday and Tuesday.
Jack Johnson, former sorld's
heavyweight champion ; Thomas
L. Farley, deputy commissioner
of the New York state athletic
commission and Leon Raines,
chairman of the Pennsylvania
commission, watched the work
out "This is the first time I've seen
Galento, and I'm not prepared to
do any picking yet," said Johnson.
But Galento has this on the other
men Louis has fought. He isn t
scared to death."
Joe Is Sluggish
POMPTON LAKES. NJ, June 24
-(IPf-Jo Louis boxed listlessly to
day in the first of three weekend
sparring programs that will com
plete his training for Wednesday
night's 15-round fight with Tony
Galento.
The heavyweight champion ap
peared sluggish as he loafed
through one ronnd - each with
Willie Snell, Joe Banovic, Jim
Howell and George Nicholson. His
sparmates hit him repeatedly.
Trainer Jack Blackburn ex
plained Louis' Indifferent perfor
mance by declaring that "Chappie
is right on edge- now, and there's
no- eense -having him -cut loose
when it isn't necessary."
But Harry Lenny, veteran train
er and manager, had another
version.
"Louis looked bad because
they're trying to change his style
to . meet Galento's barroom tac
tics," said Lenny. "That's a ser
ious mistake. Louis'-best-bet is to
fight his regular fish.. If he tries
to . meet ; Galento at Tony's own
game, he is. likely to run into a
lot of trouble.", -

Wait's Showing Is Best
Daring Week With Two
Place Climb
Although last week's softball
was featured by the rise of Waits'
Meatmen from fourth spot to a tie
with the Golden Pheasant flock
for second place, no one succeeded
In bumping off the championship-
bound Square Deal Radio outfit,
that has scored a total of 41 runs
in bumping off four consecutive
opponents.
Wednesday night will see the
close of the first third of the
league, and unless the Pheasant
flock succeeds in stampeding them
Monday night the Dealers will
have such a secure grip on the
league bunting that only Waits,
who play them Friday night, will
have an opportunity to dim what
at this writing looks to be a sure
thing.
Anything Can Happen
With the 15-game per team
schedule not yet passed its one
third mark, however, anything
can happen. Either Waits or the
Pheasants are in admirable posi
tion to dump the leaders.
Third Baseman George Scales,
of Waits, and Pitcher Henry
Singer, of Square Deal, lead the
regular hitting parade with neat
.500 averages. Over them is Ercel
Kay of the Pheasants, who has
participated in but one game. He
has a-i 00 "average.

) Ken Black, Vancouver, :
; in Final Round
VICTORIA, June 24-(CP)--A
putting wizard from Seattle Jack
Westland won the Pacific north
west amateur golf crown for the
second straight time today, de
feating Ken Black of Vancouver
on the 37th green-in one of the
most gruelling finals in the history
of the championship.
Black, tournament medallist,
came from behind to square the
match on the last hole of the
36-hole final.
The British Columbia amateur
champion, seeking to be the first
British Columbian to lift the PNW
crown, saw his hopes disappear on
the 398-yard 37th as his long putt
which would have given him a par
four, rimmed the cup. Westland
sank a three-footer for a four to
take the hole and the match.
A gallery of 700 who braved a
morning rain to watch the pair,
saw Westland finish the first 18
with a one-up lead. He was never
behind the Canadian throughout
and at times was as much as two
holes ahead.

his name, and U definitely a can
didate for the 1910 American
Olympic games team. During tbe
1939 collegiate year Brownell set
a new Pacific coast intercollegiate
100-yard freestyle mark of :53.8.
and in the Far Western . Indoor
meet at Seattle last month, while
swimming for Multnomah club of
Portland, cracked the Pacific
coast AAU 220-yard freestyle
mark.
. : Brownell'j 220-yard- time was
8:16.8, bettering the old record of -2:18,
held by Gilhoula of USC, by
1.4 seconds. He also swam tbe
100-yard lap of the medley relay
in :63.2, six tenths of a second;
better than his own coast inter
collegiate 100-yard mark.
Forbes Mack was beaten but
once In 1 3 races swam ' for Saa
Jose, and it took the national AAU
breaststroke champion, Jim Wer
son of the San Francisco Olympic .
club, to beat him. Mack, who uses
the butterfly stroke popularized
on the Pacific coast, was beaten by
Werson by a scant yard. Mack's
best time for the 200-yard breast
is 2:31.
The butterfly stroke used by
Mack differs from the convention
al pull in that the arms come out
of the water on the stroke, allow
ing for a faster beat than the ail
under water pull of the conven
tional stroke.
Both mermen are working out
dally in Salem pools. Brownell, as '
a member of Multnomah club's
team, will definitely enter the Far
Western outdoor meet, a teeing
off spot for Olympic tryouts, wbile
it la probable Mack will also enter
under MAC colors.
To be held in gigantic Flel- '
schacker pool in San Francisco,
the meet . will find 'Brownell en
tered in the 100, 220 and 440 and
probably the medley relay. Mack,
will swim the 200-yard breast and
probably the medley.
