By BID FEDER
NEW YORK, June 4 (P)
Tho featherweight champion,
which Is more than a little bit
confused Just now, won't be
helped much tonight, even
though Chalky Wright and Phil
Terranova are going to tear at
each other in a 19-rounder
that's supposed to go a long way
toward straightening it up.
The Chalk, who Insists he's
not one year younger than the
Malno. and Young Phil, who's a
nice kid boasting about how he
beat Lulu Costantino and can
do the same to any 126-poundcr,
tanglo in a tea-party tussle with
Wco Willie Pep, the Connecti

This is supposed to bo a title
shot the collision between -Wee
Willie and tonight's, winner
but tho package of pep has a
date to meet Sal Bartolo in Bos
ton next Tuesday, w It h Wee
Willie's New York version of the
title on tho line. And if Sal
should walk out of there with
all the marbles, then it's going
to be "every man for theirself."
For the New York State Ath
letic commission says it doesn't
rccognizo next Tuesday s bout
as a title tilt and wants Wee
Willie to get together with- the
winner of tonight's shuffle.
All of which together with
the fact The National Boxing
association gives its blessing to
Jackie Callura as champ add
a pretty puzzle for tonight's
shindig.

. Soes Take Big Bite Our
Of Angels' Lead; Age Races
Youth In Hollywood Bottle
By The Associated Press
The Coast league second di
vision stirred mightily and
threateningly yesterday as Seat
tle and Portland both won extra
Inning tilts by one run margins
and Sacramento took another bit
out of the once staggering lead
of Los Angeles,
It was age against youth In the
Seattle-Hollywood game as the
Rainiers' 43-year-old Sylvester
Johnson posted a 1 to 0 victory
over the Stars' rookie hurler,
Eddie Erautt. Johnson, how
ever, allowed six hits to the 18-ycar-old
Erautt's five. Jimmy
Jewell, second baseman, scored
Seattle's winning run in the 10th
and last inning when Butch
Moran, Hollywood first baseman,
threw wildly trying to catch him
going from second to third.
At Oakland the Portland Beav
ers took a 12-inning 2 to 1 de
cision over the Acorns when
Spencer Harris who had doubled
and advanced to third on Larry
Barton's infield roller, came
home on John O'Neill's fly to
center field. It was Ad Liska's
fifth win of the season against as
many defeats and Portland's sec
ond straight game of the series.
Sacramento rose up from sev
enth place to spot Los Angeles
five runs and still win, 7 to 6.
It was Mickey Burnett's homer
in the eighth with two aboard
that did the damage. It was the
seventh defeat in the" last 11
starts for the Angels who now
are but five and a half games
ahead of San Francisco.
The Seals, meanwhile,
strengthened their contender's
position by turning San Diego
aside 7 to 4 for their second
straight game. The Seals were
outhit 11 to 10 but Del Young's
three bagger in the third with
the bases loaded made up the
deficit. ,

ability on the track team, has

Pitcher Goes
To Boston
SEATTLE, June 4 (IP) The
most talked about Seattle high
school pitcher since Freddie Hut

Red Sox.
Walt Clough, the bespectacled,
likeable kid with spring steel in
his right arm, announced last
night that he had signed with
Scout Ernie Johnson and would
report, after his graduation from
West Seattle high next week, to
Roanoke In the Piedmont league,
a Boston farm.
Clough had a strikeout aver
age of nearly 15 per game as he
went through the prep season
without defeat. The Red Sox
were reported to have paid
'Clough a bonus for signing, but
the amount was not disclosed.
Seattle and the New - York
Yankees, who sent a scout most
of the way across the country -to
see Clough in action, were the
other principal bidders for his
services.

Hit and Run
of Hirohito, whose caricature decorates 20-foot target, goes bomb
Oregon Sport Notes
By FRED HAMPSON
Boxing comebacks are pecu
liar to no special season or time
but they are Increasing lately)
Two causes appear obvious.
First the boxing business, like
other businesses that escape pri
ority difficulties, is very good.
The fatter purses have drawn
back many a fighter who has
passed his crest but still can
fight a little. . ..........
Second, there Is Henry Arm
strong. Henry has lured $350,
000 into 22 boxoffices since he
foresook retirement for another
campaign Inside the ropes. Spec
tacular comebacks like his are
scarce and they always stimu
late others.
Latest to drag himself back
into, the arena is Tony Galento,
who knocked over a character
named Katz in Tampa the other
day in 25 seconds. The boxing
commission held up the purse,
indicating that Katz might not
have tried very hard, but the
result has served, to re-launch
Two-Ton Tony.
Most Pacific coast football fans
hope that Washington State col
lege works out some plan for
keeping Babe Hollingbery on the
payroll, whether or not the
school has to abandon football.
Football will be back after the
war and It will never be the
same in the coast circuit without
the Babe.
Hollingbery Is one coach who
is good box office for himself
alone and not entirely for the
good teams he turns out, as will
attest anyone who has watched
him go through a spasm of holy

Dick Strlte of the Eugene Register-Guard
says that five major
