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

Jack Johnson, former world's
heavyweight champion, .las

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.
Also scheduled to sit out the
game is Dick Farman, stellar
Redskin guard. The ailing list
included Fullbacks Andy Farkas
and Bob Seymour, Ends Bob
Masterson and Alex Piasecky.
Tackle Wee Willie Wilkin. Guard
Al Fiorentino and Quarterback
Ray Hare. All the latter group
are expected to play at least
part of the game, however.
Reports from New York indi
cated that the Giants, on the
other hand, are in top-notch
shape. Coach Steve Owen was
reported to have spent must of
the week perfecting a new pass
ing attack with Veteran Tuffy
Leemans and newcomer Emery
Nix doing -the throwing, and
rumors reached the capital that
the Owen-men would try to
cross up the Redskins at their
own- aerial game.
