The only loss suffered by Roosevelt was to the Washington team in the season opening game Wallick Eyes Win Over Atlas Leo Wallick, aware of his poor showing against the Great Atlas last week, today told Promoter Mack Lillard via telephone from Portland that he was grateful for the return match with the self-styled greatest wrestler in the world and would pull all the stops in an effort to gain a vic tory when they meet In the main event of the armory wrestling card Thursday night. Wallick said he knew better than to turn his back on his op ponent, as he did last week when arguing with Referee Earl Yoakley. That was the mistake which cost me the match," Wal lick said, "but it will be differ ent this time." Belcasiro Vs. Gray Pete Belcastro, burning be cause he was again shunted to the background in his desire for a crack at either Wallick or the Atlas, is expected to unleash fury only as Belcastro can wnen ne clashes with Karl Gray in the semi-windup. Belcastro wants to show Lillard that he belongs in the ring with either of the main eventers and he doesn't want Gray to be a stumbling block.

Baumholtz of Angels Big Surprise in PCL San Francisco, May 16 (U.PJ One of the surprising items about the surprising Los Angeles Angels, who presently are occu pying the rarified atmosphere of the first division in the Pacific Coast league race, is a little out fielder. His name is Frank Conrad Baumholtz and in his 170-pound frame he has been packing tne dynamite that has given Mana ger Bill Kelly's Seraphs a spark they have lacked in recent sea sons. Currently, the 30-year-old out fielder is sporting a .455 batting average far and away the best in the PCL. 10 Years in Pros . It was just 10 years ago that Baumholtz broke in with River side, then in class C. California Dot Kielty Leads Golf Newcastle, Northern Ire., May 16 (U.P.) Dot Kielty of Los An geles advanced to the fourth round of the British Women's amateur golf championship to day with a 4 and 3 victory over Mrs. Mervyn Pilch of kngiana as favored Grace Lenczyk of Newington, Conn., was elimi nated. Miss Kielty thus became the last remaining American hope to win the British title. Two other U. S. women were eliminated in yesterday's opening round while Miss Peggy Kirk of Findaly, O., remained in the U. S. and de faulted her first round match. Miss Lenczyk, one of the leading tournament favorites, was beaten in the third round by Elizabeth Price of England. 2 and 1. Miss Kielty will play her fourth round match this after noon. league. He was four years in the service, but in his other five years of campaigning he has been in the charmed .300 circle only once. That came in 1946 when he clouted a .343 rate for Colum bia in the South Atlantic league and got a bid to the majors. Of course, no one, including the management, is expecting Frank to maintain his present pace. But even if he drops 100 points and comes in with a .355 average for the season, all will be satisfied i n c 1 u ding the Baumholtz family, for it will earn him another shot at the majors. Games This Wesk The Seraph outfield star will get a chance to test his bat wiz ardry this week against the San Francisco Seal pitching in the southland. If he finds the pick ings as easy as some of the other batters around the coast have, then he should have a field day. Elsewhere around the circuit, Oakland plays host to Holly wood, Seattle visits Sacramento and Portland goes to San Diego. Fleming Leading PCL in Batting San Francisco, May 16 U.R) Les Fleming, the San Francisco powerhouse first baseman, has only a .329 batting average, but he leads the Pacific Coast league in home runs With 10, and in runs batted in with 46 on 52 hits.
