JESSE JAMES CONTINUES WIN SPREE If there are more boys at home like Jesse James, it's no wonder the Greeks are chasing Mussolini's legions back to Al bania. As sweet a wrestler as ever trod the local canvas, the black- haired Adonis from Athens made a monkey out of George Wildcat Wilson last night at the armory In the semi-final match of a coast tournament card, stealing the show from a main event which saw Pete Belcastro, Italian wrestler, take his first tournament defeat at the hands of Cowboy Dude Chick. It was a sorry swan song for the former AU-American footballer from University of Washington. He lost two straight falls to the handsome James In a verdict that gave him his second tournament de feat and eliminated him from further competition. Marvel at Greek The Chick-Belcastro bout was a banner affair, but the fans went away marvelling not at the way Cowboy Dude downed the fiery Italian, but at the re markable performance Jesse turned in against the raw-boned ex-grid star. From the start Wilson had trouble getting a crip on his slippery opponent, as light on his feet as a toe dancer and as clever with his wrestling holds as any man in the business. He fought Wilson to a stand still during the first two rounds and in four minutes of the third bowled him over with a body flip for fall No. 1. James som ersaulted Wilson from the ropes, and when George attempted to finish things with a sonnenberg, James ducked underneath and flipped the unsuspecting grid ster onto the mat for the fall. Wilson Pretests James attempted a Boston crab after eight minutes in the lourth round, momentarily lost it, then neatly rolled over and pinned George with his legs to wina up me oout.

H OLD MR.BOSTON ROCKING CHAIR Ben-Burk, Boston, MM. ALICE MARBLE ENTERS PRO TENNIS RANKS NEW YORK, Nov. IS (UP) Alice Marble turned profession al today and thereby accomplish ed in less than four minutes the task which the world's best wom en amateurs have failed to do for four years end her reign as queen of American tennis. The blond Oakland, Calif., miss, probably the best woman player of all time, announced her decision briefly and simply. Any further tennis conquests, she said, would be superfluous and the time has come to con centrate on a permanent career, The career will be that of a con cert singer. "All my life I have wanted to sing," she explained. "I don't mean just sing in night clubs I'm definitely through with that. I mean really sing. The ambi tion was formed long before ever saw a tennis ball. I've worked hard at It but every time I've made progress either the time or the money has run out. By turning professional can manage both, and play ten nis too." The specific amount will be $25,000, plus a percentage of the gate. It will be paid by Promoter Jack Harris for a tour in which Miss Marble will team with Don Budge, Bill Tilden and an unnamed woman opponent and barnstorm the United States, Nassau and parts of Canada. The tour will open at Madison Square Garden here on Jan. 6 and will last IS or 20 weeks. Waltonlans to Meet Tonight .

The tall, good-looking young ster from New York, who Joined the Reds three years ago and has played in each of their games since, didn't have his best season, but it was a good one, and vital to the Reds. He hit .309 and drove In 127 runs, as compared with a 1939 batting average of .322 and 128 runs batted in. Last year, he was rated fourth in the annual balloting by 24 veteran baseball scribes, three from each National league city. This year he was first, getting 18 of the 24 votes for first place and 274 points, 89 more than Johnny Mize, slugging first sack- er of the St. Louis Cardinals, who also was second in 1939. The reason for the rise of Mc Cormick In contradiction of the figures In the record books Is easily apparent.
