L TITLE BOOT EVEN ' San Francisco, Dec. 11 (U.R) Betting odds today still were quoted at even for Monday night's California state middle weight championship battle be tween Jack Chase and Lloyd Marshall, despite the heavy popular support for the latter. With both fighters going through strenuous workout drills, they were expected to enter the ring in top condition for tha 15-rcund title bout. Chase, who drew with Mar shall in a bout last month, has been working on a "kayo punch" for Monday's brawl. but reports of his slugging .tac tics failed to alarm the Marshall camp. In last month's contest Chue dropped Marshall for a six- count in the fourteenth round but Johnny Rogers, dapper pilot for the Sacramento sluggc-r claimed Marshall went down from tiredness rather than from the punch. Rogers, confident Marshall would defeat Chase in the title match, declared his fighter's hard hitting and good in-fighting would take care of Chase. Marshall turned in nine rounds last night in workouts, preferring sparring to the bag punching routine. , Marshall himself, cautious About predicting a knockout, nevertheless felt he would win over Chase. He pointed out that he "blew his chances" to win the championship last month by. tiring in the late rounds and added that "Chase isn't easy to beat." Chase was equally reticent concerning a prediction. He said the draw last month which permitted him to keep the title was good enougn for him. Commissioner Ed Pencevlch and John Rustigan today an nounced that two Judges will work the Chase-Marshall bout, with Toby Irwin the referee. Frankie Brown and Jimmy Wal ter will Judge. Jack Johnson, former world's heavyweight champion, .las brought his 200-pounder, Clar ence Brown, in for a 10-round seml-windup Monday against Bob Smith. THREE DIE, TRUCK CRASH Ontario, Cal..

CHANCE TO BEAT GIANTS IN EAST Washington, Dec. 11 (U.R) The injury-ridden Washington Redskins face the New York Giants tomorrow in a gridiron contest which may decida the eastern championship of the 1'atlonal Professional Football league. If the Redskins win, they'll be winners in the eastern half of the league race and fared with the chore of meeting the Chicago Bears whom they al ready have beaten once this season next 'Sunday for the league championship. If the Giants win, the eastern race I will be tied and Washington and New York will have to play another game. Observers classed tomorrow's set-to as about a 4oss-up. Off hand, it appeared to be question of whether Sllngin' Sammy Baugh's good right arm would be good enough to bring victory to the home team despite the .unning of Bill Paschal and Ward Cuff of the Giants, or vice versa. . Watching the game from the sidelines tomorrow will be one of Baugh's favorite pass targets. Halfback Wilbur Moore, who was so banged around when the Redskins dropped a 14-10 decision to the Giants in New York last Sunday that he prob ably won't play again this year.
