WASHINGTON, April 8 (U.R) A "Junior battle of the bums" a 10-rounder between Tony Gnlento and Buddy Bear takes place tonight in Ullne stadium ond the news last night, as it always is when Mr. G. is in volved, is weird. Knowing that the public al ways expects the unusual from Tony on the eve of battle, the Galento press attaches an nounced that the great man from Orange, N. J., probably won't arrive until tomorrow be cause they don't want him to commit a social faux pas, such as refusing a flagon of suds. The betting favors Galento at odds of 8 to 9. Both men predict they will win by a knockout. Galento expects to weigh around 240 pounds and Beer around 245. CLOVIS, N. M. iuunager Frankle Frlsch of the Pittsburgh Pirates, his voice almost reduced to a whisper, called upon young Los Angeles Girl Has All the Shots. "Can't Miss" Nationals By HARRY GRAYSON NEA Service Sports Editor Eleanor Tennant, the famous coach, is Just one of many fine judges who say Pauline May Betz can't miss winning the na tional women's singles tennis championship when the firing gets under way at Forest Hills, Aug. 29. They see in Miss Betz, a nice looking girl of 21, a worthy suc cessor to A 1 i c o Marble, who turned professional. Miss Betz patterned her game after that of the spectacular. hard-hitting Miss Marble. The girls are warm friends. They correspond, and Miss Marble hopes to take her fellow Call- fornian in hand before the tour nament. Dorothy May Bundy, whom Miss Betz defeated, 8-1, 10-12, 6-2, to acquire., the .. indoor crown at Brookline, believes her west coast neighbor will scale the heights outdoors. Both at tend Rollins college In Florida. They were in the party that toured South America. "Pauline has the strokes, fight, physique and endurance," re peats Miss Bundy, "She could play all day." CALIFORNIA MISS HAS AN IMAGINATIVE GAME What Miss Tennant, who brought out Miss Marble and other stars likes best about Miss Betz is that tha Los Angeles miss has an imaginative game which will keep women's tennis on the high plane to which Queen Al ice returned it. "While Pauline had a f 1 n e record last year, she was over confident in the nationals," ex plains Teacher Tennant. "She will have n better picture of the situation this summer. . "Like all natural players, she took too many liberties with her best weapons . . , made too many errors off her good fore hand. "She has a powerful serve that disconcerts the girl on the other side of the net, She smash es and volleys. She has rare steadiness with her overhead smash, and a magnlflclcnt back hand. ' to be looking for fights were the Astoria group," tho re port said. Mlnto also said witnesses told h I m "players (Astoria; wore promised and given beer at tholr banquet in order to keep them from running around the streets. Another report based on cyc-wltncsscs indicates that members of the mob causing the most trouble were high school members from the Astoria high school and graduates therefrom, many of whom had shown signs of liquor." The report also said that no evidence had been gathered to prove that Coach Wally Palmberg of Astoria had been kicked during the trouble, which occurred at a local res taurant after the tournament.

Duck Cagers Slap Down Hawaii, 52-42 HONOLULU, April 8 m University of Oregon, leading all the way, knocked over the University of Hawaii, 52 to 42, before a crowd of 5000 basket ball fans here last night. The barnstorming Oregonians, who led 25 to 20 at thu half, brought a laugh from the crowd when they pulled off their sweat shirts and displayed fiery-red sunburned backs and arms from swimming under a hot sun. The Hawaii team was assisted In the first half by Angelo (Hank) Lulsetti and Swede An derson, mainland stars who made the trip with the Oregon squad. "She is strong and possesses the ideal disposition. MISS BETZ PRODUCT OF GRIFFITH PARK COURTS Miss Betz is an A student, a good mixer and extremely pop ular with both the girls and boys. She plans to teach phys ical ed. She was born In Dayton, O., but has lived in Los Angeles for a number of years. She is a product of the famous Griffith park courts there. In height she is 5 feet 6. She weighs 127 pounds. Miss Betz began playing ten nis at 13. She does not like to be slow balled. An Impatient player un- Alloe Marble ' Dorothy Bundy til this winter, she lost confi dence and resorted to slow-balling herself. Her forte is aggression, not so much from tho net position, but from the base line where she has a good forcing backhand and a hard-hit forehand which is now always reliable. Miss Betz has the build and movements of an athlete. She has broad shoulders and a frec kled face to go with long flow ing golden hair, She combines masculine co ordination with feminine allure in the right proportions. Pauline Betz would wear the tennis crown well , , . would be a constructive champion. WEALTHY NIZAM The Jewelry and other valu able articles of the Nizam of Hyderabad, exclusive of his gold stores, readies an estimated value of $200,000,000. fm 1 McShain Favored Over Pete Copper Coast Champion, Belcattro in Top Shop For Return Encounter Dangerous, devilish Danny Mc Shain, dapper darling of Holly wood but terror of Pacific Coast wrestling rings, today was listed a slight favorite over Pete Bel castro for their all-out battle to night at the armory. The clash, which is only coin cldental to tonight's St. Louis chapter in the J. Louis bum-of thc-month campaign and this evening's Washington clambake between and among Buddy Baer and lovable Tony Galento, will probably be the bloodiest, wild est bout In recent Klamath Falls ra.ssle history if last week's engagement can be taken as a criterion. Tho balding Pete has been pumping gas at his Weed em porium with unreasonable fury all week long and should be in tip-top shape, while McShain has been in tip-top shape all week long. Last Tuesday's thriller, as Klamath fans will remember, ended for Dapper Dan despite Yukon Jake Jackson's full dress efforts to 'help the tottering Roman. Tex Hagcr, the man in white, had his hands full with the Bulldog before Pete, blood pouring down his chin, was led away. Supporting the mam act will be a new-face appearance of Gus Johnson, the St. Paul scientist, and Danny Savich who once was an ail-American. Danny, accord ing to advance dope, is a cleanie until it stops paying. He'll prob ably find it stops paying tonight. The opening performance pits the Bulldog against Tiger Tsak off also known as Steve Nen off, a Russian. The Cossack hasn't been seen locally for some time but Jackson, the Chiloquin chopper, re-appeared here some two weeks ago. First gong time is 8:30. Hardballers, Softballers, Begin Activity A second front to Klamath baseball activity will open Wednesday night with the inaug ural meeting of all interested in Softball scheduled for 7:30 in the city council chambers. Lynn Roycroft, president of the Klamath Softball association, urged all players, managers, and sponsors to attend. Meanwhile Earl Brooks of the Klamath Pelicans, newly-formed hardball team, announced that a practice session has been called for 5:15 Wednesday at Recreation park. Another prac tice will be held Friday at the same time.
