June 31 m Tony Oal- ento, the fat challenger, either is honestly confident of beating Joe Louis a week from tonight, or he will go into the ring behind aa amazing a "front" as any condemned man ever summoned. Completely surrounded by pre diction that Louis will half-kill him inside two rounds, Tony enters his final bit of training still roaring drunk on self-esteem and mouthing his disdain of the champion. Some think it's pose, but I believe the guy's on the level. Three hours at Madam Bey's justly-famous training camp yes terday offered ample opportunity to study oalen to at close range. He shows no sign of "nerves." Ee's still clowning before his adoring New Jersey public, but behind the scene he' getting mean and irri- table a a bear with a sort head. He look ready for a fight.

Ariz, June 31 VP) The 52nd annual rodeo at Prescott, where America's first public exhibi tion of cowboy sport was staged, Is being turned back to the real cowhands this year. For the first time In many years no professional rodeo performers will be permitted to enter. The contestants will be the range riders who make their living wrangl ing cows In the southwestern cattle country. Whether he is a contender for serious consideration as a coming lightweight boxer, destined to make his mark in fistic circles, or whe ther he Is just another good boy. may be determined to some extent tonight when Curley Hopper, Okla noma Indian youth, pulls on the gloves against Louie Nelson at the armory. Hopper Is making his debut as a main eventer. In his previous appearances In the local ring. Hop per has shown a world of aggres siveness and stamina. Against Johnny Woods he appeared to have everything except a knockout wal lop. The six-round seml-windup fea turlng Powder Proctor and Frankie Bums, the latter from Salt Lake City, is attracting practically much attention as the main event. Proctor, undefeated In several ap pearances here, weathered a vigor ous assault at the hands of Kid Thornley. He gained a lot of valu able experience from that attack which should stand him In good stead tonight. Les Carter, who has appeared on recent armory shows out of condi tion, will try It again tonight, with Tommy Orrln as his opponent. They will travel over the four-round route. The first preliminary is scheduled to go on at 8:30. Excellent Catch At Diamond Lake Sllverton Roy Davenport and Walt Davis returned Monday eve nlng from an eight days' fishing trip to Diamond lake and report the "limit of the prettiest trout you ever saw" as a reward for their visit to the mountain resort. They told of extremely hot weath er for three days then a sudden change on Thursday and by Friday morning a fall of seven Inches of snow which laid on the ground for several hours Davis and Davenport took their own boat along with them. During the good weather more than 150 boats plied the lake but the vacationist thinned down to only a few when snow began to fall.

HANNA'S BAR-B-Q Rlckreall Open Dally Til I AM, Dean Accuses Mates' Failure To Push Hard By Earl Hlliigaa Chicago, June 21 OP) The 1831 tallspln of the Chicago Cubs, now battling to stick In the first divi sion, la kicking up almost as much general excitement In their home bailiwick as did their stirring charge to the National league pennant last September. Ever since the Cubs started a skid which sent them into fifth place, a wsve ot "what's wrong with the team" comment ha swept the town. Then yesterday, Just after a published "open letter" by Own er Phil Wrlgley, anent his club's showing, loquacious Dizzy Dean came up with one of his well-known pop offs as bis contribution to the furore. Dlz, speaking before the Chicago Association of Commerce, accused his mates of "not trying hard enough." Winner of three games and loser of none this season, the 1189,000 pitcher said "the reason we're down where we are today la because the players a rent pushln' hard enough. Only two-thirds of us are doing our best. The rest of us ain't. Just let me pitch more often and everything will be okay. I'm getting tired of pitching only on Sundays." "Oh, what the hell," snapped Manager Oabby Hartnes when he learned of Dean's diagnosis and remedy for the case. "Let him talk. I'm not going to comment. It's none of my business what hs says. It's his story, not mine. In his "open letter" to a Chicago sports editor, Wrlgley said "It is al ways a tittle disconcerting to me to have it so forcibly brought home from time to time that the winning team, which belongs to everyone. Is so exclusively mine when it is losing." Tuesday's games: American League New York 13, Chicago 9; Boston 8. St. Louis 1; Cleveland 4. Wash ington 3; Detroit 5, Philadelphia 0.
