pounds more than Armstrong,
was awarded three rounds on
his hit-and-run tactics but was
staggered in the 10th when Hen
ry finally caught up with him
to land the hardest punch of the
evening.
There were no knockdowns In
the fight and Latsios appeared
stronger than his veteran oppo
nent In the later rounds when he
slowed Armstrong's bull like
rushes with left uppercuts to the
wood, N. J., who trimmed Claire
Doran, Cleveland, on the 19th
green after the match went into
a playoff.
In the lower bracket, the com
petition was almost as strong.
Dorothy Germain, Drexel Hills,
Pa., who won the Red Cross tour
ney at Wykagyl last week, had
trouble In edging 20-year-old
Mrs. Joanne Barr Tracy, Dallas,
Texas, 2-up, and unless the love
ly Miss Germain finds the secret
of a short game, she may have
trouble with Georgia Tainter,
Fargo, N. D., who eliminated a
former open champion, Mrs.
Lawrence Selz, Ravinia, 111.
The opera "LaTcme" has been

Pair Clash In Top Duel Of
Armory Mat Card; Wag
ner, Davidson in Middle.
Weed's wildman, Pete Belcas-
tro, will match his fast-flying
fists and brutal mat maneuvers
against the scientific tactics and
jiu-jitsu holds of Walter
"Sneeze" Achlu, the husky Chi
nese operator, in the one-hour
feature struggle of tonight's arm
ory wrestling program which
eets under way at 8:30.
It will be the hairy Italian's
first main-event shot in six
weeks and he plans to leave
nothing undone In seeking a vic
tory In order to remain In the
"top bout" category. Although
Belcastro has a good record here
since; the resumption of the game
two victories, one setback and
one draw that one defeat came
In his only mom event perform
ance to date, and he'll go all out
In an effort to erase the stigma
of the loss.
Brawl Expected
Tough as Belcastro Is, he may
not be rugged enough to handle
the squat, stocky Oriental, who
"liquidated" George Wagner, the
glamour boy. In a rlp-sriorting
brawl last week. Achlu, tremen
dously powerful, prefers to grap
ple cleanly, but Isn't above turn
ing on the ' illegitimate stuff
when forced Into it by the ac
tions of his opponent. He proved
that against "Gorgeous George,"
and Belcastro can expect noth-
, lng less this evening,
Wagner, in the four-round
seml-wlndup, will be attempting
a comeback from his whipping
by Achlu. He'll iace Harold
(Buck) Davidson, a plenty tough
customer, whose latest start re
sulted In a conquest of Silent
Ratan, and who can play just as
dirty as Wagner, himself, which
is saying something.
After an absence of couple
of weeks, Jack (Bad Boy) Lips
comb, another mean gent will
return to battle Billy McEuIn In
the three-round opener. McEuIn
will be making his 1944 debut In
the Medford ring.
Earl Yoakley will referee.

New York, June 22 U.P)
The printer's of baseball's record
books, already rationed on "O's"
and "T's" because the little name
of Ott appears so many times in
big letters, had a new record to
add to Master Melvln's list Monday.
The doughty manager of the
New York Giants, who sets a
new record almost every time
he goes to bat, scored his 1,741st
run yesterday as the Giants
trounced the Brooklyn Dodgers,
11-2. The tally, unimportant In
such a lop-sided score, broke the
mark set by Honus Wagner In
1917, 27 seasons ago. Wagner,
said by many to the the greatest
shortstop, If not the greatest ball
player of all time, labored 21
years to establish his mark, while
Ott is now in his 19th active
season.
The all-time record of 2,244
runs is held by Ty Cobb and
was established over a 14-year
period in the American league.
The St. Louis Cardinals con
tinued to make life a misery for
the Chicago Cubs as they scored
their 10th and 11th consecutive
victories over the Bruins this
season. George Mungcr and
Mort Cooper collaborated on a
6-4 victory In the first of the
two games. Harry Brecheen held
the Cubs to six hits in the night
cap and the 12-hit attack of his
mates provided him with an
easy 7-2 triumph.
Ray Starr shined in his second
start against the Cincinnati Reds
as two runs in the' ninth inning
gave Pittsburgh a 2-1 edge.
The doubleheader scheduled
for Philadelphia at Boston In the
senior circuit was rained out for
the second straight day.
The American league-leading
St. Louis Browns stretched their
margin over Boston to two and
a half games as they swamped
the White Sox, 11-2.
The Philadelphia Athletics, in
last place in the circuit Monday,
moved into fifth place with a 5-2
victory over the Boston Red Sox.

New York, June 22 (U.R) Come 9 p. m. on the night of
July 11, top players of the National and, American leagues will

the 12th major league all-star game. ,

contests when peak performers
of the two divisions met last July

the mid-season classic, we pre
dict now that the National out
fit will win the Pittsburgh game.
. We make this prediction after
selecting O-U-R all-star squads

completely unofficial, but which
can't miss ultimate selection by
much (heh! hehl) because of our
