Team Match Is Arranged Georges Dusette, glorying in the acquisition of the Pa cific coast light heavyweight wrest ing belt, and Martino Angelo, the man from whom Dusette lifted the bauble, will meet again in the armory ring Thursday night. This time the match will be a little different as each will have a partner in the activity. Dusette will be paired with Joe Lynam in a tag team match against Angelo and his companion, Paavo Katonen. Lynam was in Georges' corner last Thursday night when he dethroned Martino, and it was Jumping Joe who advised Dusette to whack the Italian groaner up with rabbit punches rather than to try to hold him down by force. Ka tonen acted as second in Mar tino's corner for the big match. After the fight was over both Lynam and Katonen were embroiled in the general squabble which took place while ring officials were pre senting the title belt to Du- j sette. !

Turnaway Crowd In Offing For Tonight's TURNAWAY CROWD 324 Even with the changes neces sarily made in the card, to night's fight has assumed all the appearances of a turnaway gate with most of the reserve seat ducats having been gone for days. Three changes which were made in the lineup have streng thened rather than weakened the card, in the estimation of Matchmaker Larry McLane. The bouts, two five-heat affairs and three four-rounders, will begin at 8:30 in the armory. In the main event is Ursal Crews Make Trial Runs SEATTLE. June 18 W) Three eastern crews and the host University of Washington eight scheduled trial runs today over the 2000-meter Lake Wash ington course where they will compete Saturday in an international-flavored collegiate regat ta. It will be the second day's workout for Massachusetts In stitute of Technology, which limbered up with an initial trial run yesterday on the smooth lake water. The Harvard crew, which became scattered across the west because of "bumping" by priority passengers on the flight westward, and the Rut gers eight arrived too late for workouts. Washington's varsity turned in an unimpressive time trial at a 26-beat. Its time was report ed from 6:35 upward and Coach Al Ulbrickson predicted it will take a 6:10 race to win Satur day's big event. The California crew Is expect ed Wednesday night, favored Wisconsin and Cornell Thursday and the University of British Columbia Thursday night.

I Service Manager , f TED SHOOP BLACK & WHITE SUPER SERVICE Main and Spring . . Phone 7741 Oak Lead Hacked To Decimals By The Associated Press Manager Casey Stengel mend ed the Oakland Acorns' Infield fences today with the echo of a fan howl in his ears becnuse the pesky San Francisco Seals had virtually caught up again in the Pacific Coast Baseball league. The Oaklanders held an ad vantage of three percentage points over the Seals at the top of the loop, the San Francisco club having won one more game and lost one more than their rivals. Oakland fus put forth a beef over their pennant aspir ants' failure to jluike tho per sistent challenge. Infield Changes Second Baseman Tony Sabol, Stengel let it be known, is head ed for rest, and Bill Hurt will likely move over from short stop to third. Johnny Price, whose recent performance has been steady, probably will plug the second ba.se gap. Ray lluinm rick, formerly of the Philadel phia Phillies, is ready, the fence repairing manager said, to step in at shortstop. San Francisco moved into the near-tie with the Acorns on an 8-3 win over the lust-pluce Seat tle Rainicrs last night. Al though they were outhit ten to eight, the Seals reaped 12 walks off three Rainier chuckers and took advantage of three errors. Al Lien, third Seal mnundsman, got credit for the victory. The defeat was Seattle's fourth In a row since Jo Jo White took over as manager of tho club. Beavers Shut Out Red Lynn came out of a slump and turned in a three-hit guiue last night for a 10-0 Los An geles victory over the Portlund Beavers. The Angels pounded two Beaver hurlers for 14 hits. Los Angeles did its most dam age and apparently demoralized the Beavers in the second in ning, when the Beavers left first uncovered on an infield hit with the bags loaded and two out. Before the frame was over the Angels had put across five runs. The other four clubs of the league were idle last night. San Diego begins a series against the Acorns at Oakland, and Sacra mento takes on the Stars at Hol lywood, both scries opening to night. Seattle Buys Two Phillies PHILADELPHIA. June 18 (?) Outfielder Lou Novikoff, whose sale to Seattle of the Pacific Coast league was announced last night by the Philadelphia Phil lies, said today he Is doubtful if he will ever play in the major leagues again. "My sale came as a com plete surprise," Novikoff added. "When Manager Ben Chapman told me I was sold I couldn't be lieve it. I wish I could have had a chance to play regularly again to see what I could do but I couldn't and that's that." Novikoff, now 30 years old, was used mostly as a pinch hit ter this season. He said he "holds no regrets as far as the Phillies are concerned." The Philadelphia Phillies also announced the sale of Pitcher Ike Pearson to Seattle in a straight cash deal. Tho price was not disclosed. Manager Chapman said "Pear son wasn't quite good enough this season to be used often. . . I think he can win on the coast." SOX DRAW BIG CHICAGO, June 18 IP) The seventh-place Chicago White Sox, thanks mainly to the gate appeal of the Boston Red Sox, have almost tripled 1945 home attendance at this date with 314,774 paid admissions.
