Achiu, former all-around athletic star of the University of Rayton, Is a master of all Amer ican wrestling holds and com plements this prowess with more than considerable know ledge of Jiu Jitsu. Achiu has appeared here many times in the past and al ways proved a fine drawing card. He claims he has a foil for Wagner's famous reverse chin- lock and that the latter will have to produce more than that to win the match. New York, June IS (U.R) Henry Armstrong, former triple champion, Is the 11-5 favorite to beat Al "Bummy" Davis to night in their $70,000 fight at Madison Square Garden. Armstrong of the bull shoul ders and perpetual pummelling is the lop-sided favorite, al though he and his camp admit that Davis is the most danger ous puncher he has tackled since challenging Cefcrlno Gar cia for the middleweight title in 1940. Davis Is such a terrific left hooker that he knocked out Lightweight Champion Bob Montgomery at 63 seconds of the first round at the Garden, Feb. 18, the quickest kayo for any main event in Garden his tory. And the Davis admirers say, "Armstrong fights head foremost, out of a bob and weave, 'almost like crouching Montgomery."

Young Prep Flash May Set New Marks in 100 and 220 By Jack Cuddf United Press Staff Correspondent New 'York, June 15 U.PJ If Charley Parker, the Texas pro jectile, gets "nervous enough," h e may set new records for the 100 and 200 meters during the National A. A. U. championships at Randall's Island, this week end. Young Parker of Thomas Jef-1 ferson high school. San Antonio, is the most discussed athlete in the approaching track meet. He has won 40 consecutive races, knocking off 9.5 for the 100 yards In 1D43. That was one tenth of a second behind the world mark. And he clicked off 220 yards that year in 20.8 sec onds, three-tenths of a second off the world standard But, during competition In 1944, Parker achieved only 9.6 seconds In thr 100, and 20.7 In the 220. Apparently he sluffed off. The lad who will be 18 on July 1 was asked the reason. Parker said: "I wasn't nervous enough." The more nervous he gets, the better he runs, It seems. He ex plained that this nervousness brings the ed.e before an impor tant athletic competition that ap proaches fear: but it s not fear. He says, "It's the vorrying whether I can win knowing the tough opposition that's against me. Will Parker be nervous for Sunday's competitions? He said: "I'll be worried until I'm almost sick, because this is the first time I ever ran outside of Texas. I'll be scared stiff. I oughtta be able to run like hell." Parker, who was graduated from high school on May 31, and who will enter the University of Texas July 6 if he Isn't taken Into the arm meanwhile ad mitted with a flushed face that there was one more big reason why he should win at Randall's Island his girl friend. He ad mitted that he was quite taken with Louise Coston, blonde high school sweetheart He said "Lou ise and I have been going togeth er for three years. I always like to win for her. No, we're not engaged she's never said Yes!' But I gotta run out soon and send her a wire She's mar velous." IN $10,000 MEET New Rochelle. N. Y..

On Your 6.00-16 Tire FIFTH NOCTURNAL I By Glen Perkins United Press Staff Correspondent New York, June 15 (U.R) No one could blame Bucky Wal ters today If he were to name a son Thomas Edison Walters for obvious reasons. True, lt probably won't hap pen, but as far as the rest of the National league Is con cerned, the late and revered Inventor could have confined his experiments to the phono graph. They all would have better won and lost records. The ace of the Cincinnati Reds' mound staff has proved himself practically invincible under the lights. Last year the big right-hander lost only one of the eight night games he pitched and this year he has achieved five consecutive after dark triumphs while compiling a total of 10 successes. Last night Walters, whom night fans are starting to call "owl," worked 11 Innings in gaining his latest victory, a 3-2 decision over the second-place Pittsburgh Pirates. Bucky went the route for the decision while the Bucs were using three hurlers. In the only other National league contest, the St. Louis Cardinals outslugged the Chi cago Cubs for a 10-9 victory.
