PRUITT SETS IN Ffnv Pruitt hung tip the highest eerie evrr rollrd on the Mod ford alleys whn he bowled with Ptche ipnrts against CCC Hradtuiartrrs In a Commrrclal league match last night. iTultt's scores (or the three games wet 215, 200 and 72 for a total of t4.

Drsplte Prultfs np-irkllng perform anre, howevrr, his team m-enl down to deflate 3 to 1. and not-so-young Corbett III, who will meet amidst wild disinterest In Madison Square Garden tomorrow night. Ring veterans say the fight has attracted less Interest hereabouts than anything else since the lant city series between the Athletics and the Phillies In Philadelphia. The third "champion" Is Solomon Krleger, a Brooklyn boy, who to all Intents and purposes had been hand ed the short end of the stick by the New York state athletic commission. Krleger whaled the tar out of Al Hostak, recognized aa champion In 47 atatea, Sumatra and Pago-Pago, only to find he was Just another fighter In hia own back yard. The commission didn't recognize Hostak as champion because he had , won the title from Freddie Steele, i also one of the commission's problem j children. It did order Apostolt and ' Corbett to get together and blessed the union with a title. The two Cal Ifornlans are tho commiaison's lead ing contenders. Each considers him self the division's head man The title at stake Is about all the fight has at present, Apoatoll. after looking like a wanned over amateur for a few days, Is beginning to move and hit as he can move and hit. but he still Is a long way from being a great 100-poundcr. Besides, he looks bad against southpaws. Corbett Is one of the southpawtng est southpaws you ever eaw. He Is 33. a touch heavy in the lega and well pounded about tho noggin. Ilia style Is peculiar. He likes to hold his spar mates with one hand and belt them with the other, a practice discouraged In New York rings.

BRILLIANT BOLIDE SOUTHWEST SKY LOS ANGELES. Nov. 17. fAP) Across the sktes of three western states raced a ball of fire last night, burning out Into blackness while airplane pilots and earth -dwellers gawd In awe. 'The giant meteor, known to sci ence as a bolide, waa seen In Cali fornia, Arizona snd Utah, about 9:30 p.m. In Salt Lake City and Los Angeles, scores of excited residents mistook the meteor for an airplane falling in flames. Plying at an altitude . of 10.000 feet over Lake Elsinore, Calif., Major Walter K. Burgess saw the heavenly object flash hlph past his army hlrj "like a fiery dragon with a luminous tail The light was so bright It Illu minated the plane's cockpit, the sky and the earth for a great distance. There were varied colors, basically ereen and red. and then rinally the flameg turned to a brilliant white. Major Burgess said. A. M. Newton of the Los Angeles Griffith observatory reported the bolide, or ball of fire, was not un expected at this time of yesr and others might appear today or to night, but It was unlikely they would be so large. It was cattmated the meteor was at least 50 miles from the earth when ita fire died out. The Incan descent debris of Ita tall, however, continued to light the sky for sev eral minutes.'
