(JP Billy Soose, the shifty and sharp box ing master from Farrell, Pa. has created an unprecedented situation in middleweight history. This 23-year-old former Penn State college boxer holds the distinction of having conquered both claimants to the title within a month, yet he does not possess the most Important thing the title itself. Last night on Chicago's west side, Soose surprisingly defeat ed the deadly punching Tony Zale. the "blonde buster" of Gary, Ind., recognized by tic? National Boxing association as middleweight champion, in 10 blistering rounds. Bolh Overweight A month ago Soose whipped Ken Overt in, recognized as champion by the states of New York and California. Both bouts were fouwlit over the middle weight limit of 180 pounds, the significant bar which prevented the championship from passing into the eastern youngster's hands. Soose scaled 162 and Zale 161. The verdict of the two Judges and Referee Joe McNarnara was unnnimotisly in favor of Soose over the Gary puncher, who had won his last 12 bouts. He Jabbed considerable prestige out of Zale a title, obtained when Zale defeated Al Hostak of Se- atle, in a 13-round knockout July 19. Last night's verdict met with the howling approval of 7,000 fans. Zale, a deadly body puncher when In range, started out with the Intention of wearing down Soose qulcklyt For the first two rounds ho smashed away with sharp punches to the body. But beginning with the third he found the tall easterner no easy target. Longer Reach With better boxing skill and reach In his favor, Soose be gan popping tantalizing lefts into Zale's face and blocking or moving away from body punches aimed by Zale. He com pletely outboxed the Gary boy in at least six rounds. uUhouRh Zole kept charging in to force the fighting. Zale, however, could not match him in boxing skill, and was unable to find the range for enough of his heavy body punches. weighing 190 pounds and stand ing an even six feet. He doesn't hit as hard as Comlskey but he is more skillful. He couldn't be less, as a matter of fact. Hii re cent victories were scored over Frank Donofirno, Joe Ogatty and Wally Sears, three higher grade oafs than he digested his first year. As I understand it, all five of the survey contenders want a shot at Louis. And each is will ing to fitfht the other. So why not have an elimination tourna ment involving Pastor. Conn, Nova, Comlskey and Ketchuk with the eventual winner earn. ing the rinht to get knocked out Inside of five rounds by Louis? bunple, I say. By that time someone may have come along capable of giving Joe a real fight. FRISCO PLEDGES By the Associated Press National League New York 5, Cincinnati 4. (11 Innings). St. Louis 7, Brooklyn 5.

Contenders for Louis Crown By Henry McLemore United Press Staff Correspondent New York, Aug. 22. (U.R) A recent survey conducted by either the D.A.R. or the light wing of the Metropolitan museum of art, I forget which, revealed that there are but five heavy weights in the United States worthy, of a chance at Joe Louis and his title. Three of them Bob Pastor, I Billy Conn and Lou Nova you are fairly well acquainted with. Pastor is the fellow wno has gone 21 rounds with Louis and still is able to dress himself, drive his own car, and recog nize his family. Conn is the fat tened ud collar-ad boy from Pittsburgh who holds the 175 pound championship and whose scheduled fight with Pastor was postponed when 23 raindrop and fewer customers showed up on the day of the bout. Nova, the yogi-man, now is in Reno getting a divorce from the cf fects of the beating Tony Galen to gave hi min Philadelphia a year ago. Nova will prove his fitness in a few weeks by fight ing one Bilmp Williams, a 273 pound fugitive from London's balloon barrage. Now the other two heavy weight candidates unearthed by the survey you might not know so much about. The more prom inent Is Pat Comlskey, an Irish youngster from Paterson, N. J., whose feet don't match but whose fists do. At 20 Comlskey stands well over six feet, weighs upwards of 215, and is more aw kward than a collie pup. But there are fistic savants who swear he hits harder than Louis does, and his record of 24 knockouts in 28 fights would In dicate that he hits for keeps. He is said to have developed a su perb left hand in the past year, but as really good left hands are something fighters are born with and do not develop, you can take that with an extra shaking of Morton's. Heavyweight prospect No. 5 Is Charley Ketchuk, a Ruthen ian who works out of Endicott, N. Y., an upstate town. He is managed by Jersey Jones, who, for a great deal of the year, is engaged by Mike Jacobs to pub licize Joe Louis. But even when Jersey is handling the publicity from a Louis camp, he spends a good half of his time beating the tom-tom for Ketchuk. While this constitutes fifth columnlng no one seems to mind, chiefly because Louis needs a capable challenger more than he does a build up. ' When Ketchuk turned profes sional a year ago his board of strategy decided to bring him along slowly, to teach him to walk the rocky road of pugilism before asking him to run it. Just a youngster out of higu school, where he was such a good football player that he was reported to have received offers of scholarships from Sviacuse. Colgate, Georgetown, and south ern California, he was fed a steady diet of harmless oafs. And oafs, not wheaties is the breakfast of champions in the making. In 16 bouts lie lost only one decision. Ketchuk started his second year of busting beaks for money DUCKS LOSE 12-1 Sacramento, Portland at Oak land, Seattle at Hollywood, San Francisco at San Diego. PETE. Ssn Francisco, Aug. 22. (U.R) Heavyweight Champion Joe Louis will be guaranteed $100, 000 for a fight with Max Baer In San Francisco some time in October by Prdmotrr Jack Kearns, it was announced yes terday as Kearns departed for New York. Kearns said a group of Influ ential civic leaders and sports men had pledged to underwrite the fight. He expected a gate of $250,000. The fight would be held either in Kezar stadium or at Tanfornn race track. Kearns snid he would "talk terms" with Manager Mike Jac obs in New York. DOZEN GIRL SOFTBALL 0 Albany. Ore.. Aug. 2.

By the Associated Press The Los Angeles Angels can't get settled in second place long enough to call it home. Seattle handed the Seraphs an eviction notice in duplicate last night, winning a Pacific coast league doubleheader 10 to 2 and 8 to 1, for a three-straight series. It happened while Oakland, the old tenants at No. 2, blanked Hollywood 4 to 0 and took up housekeeping where they left off last week, at a discreet dis tance, 16'4 games, behind the Seattle crowd. The San Diego Padres got a firmer clutch on the shirttails of the first division by wailoping the pitiable Portland Beavers, 12 to 1, for two straight. At Sacramento the Solons met all kinds of grief in losing tc seventh-place San Francisco 5 to 0. Half the league la idle tonight as clubs climb on the rattlers for the second half of the sea son's last split series.

Oregon junior champion, and Muriel Veafch of Longview. Wash., outstanding northwest women's golfer, will seek their third successive titles. COLLEGES ARE URGED By AUTHOR TO THROW ALL TEXTBOOKS OUT Boston. 11 -K American col leges and universities should abolish textbooks and substitute the study of 100 of the world'i greatest books, according to Dr. Mortimer J. Adler, author of How to Read a Book." As a model for such a move he suggested St. John's at Ann apolis where ' all the great teachers ar-j dead. There are very few lectures there. The living teachers lead the discus sions on the great thinkers like Homer, Plato, Galen, Hegel, Marx and Freud." Adler says that learning re quires reading and th it one must read the great works to be able to read. He said that he doubt ed if more than a few student or even teachers really know how to read a book. He added that the smaller schools must lead in any change because "the larger ones are top-heavy with watertight com partments of so-called fields of learning."
