LOUIS, April 8 (UP) Joe Louis retained his heavyweight championship tonight by techni cally knocking out Tony Musto, pudgy Chicago Italian, who re fused to acknowledge the severe beating he was taking. He kept forcing the fight until Referee Arthur Donovan waved nun to his corner In the ninth round. Donovan ended the fight after one minute and 38 seconds of the ninth round because Musto's face wus beaten Into such a bloody pulp he could no longer see the champion. 17.000 See right Jeers greeted the announce ment of the technical knockout. More than 17,000 spectators crowded Into the area to witness the fight. Musto entered the ring a sure loser, according to what betting there was, but he kept forcing the fight all the way. Despite his puzzling crouch and willingness to carry the fight to the cham pion. Louis won every round but the second, which appeared even. As early as the first round, Louis showed which way the fight would go. He drove a hard right to Musto's Jaw. Then an other. Musto ducked and came back for more, Louis obliging with a terrific right and left to the head. The second was Mustn't best round, although a hard blow from the champion started the blood gushing from his nose. He forced the champion into the ropes at the start of the round and kept weaving and boring In, throwing rights and lefts. A sharp left hook from Musto opened a cut above Louis left eye, but that was tho peak of the pudgy Italian's brief glory. In the third round, Louis rocked Musto with a right hook to Ike. head and began waiting him out. Musto weaved in and Louis knocked him down with a left hook.

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. 20. They see in Misa Betz, a nice looking girl of 21, a worthy suc cessor to Alice Marble, who turned professional. Miss Betz patterned her gam 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, 6-1, 10-12, 8-2, 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 the 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 fin record last year, she was over confident in the nationals," ex plains Teacher Tennant "She will have a better picture of the situation this summer. "Like all natural players, ah took too many liberties with her best weapons . . . made too many errors off her good fore hand. "She has powerful serve that disconcerts the girl on the other side of the net. She smash es and volleys. Sh has rar steadiness with her overhead smash, and a magnificient back hand. 1 to be looking for fights were the . Astoria group," the re port said. Mlnto also said witnesses told h 1 m "players (Astoria) were promised and given beer at their banquet In order to keep them from running around the streets. Another report based on eye-witnesses 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. PAGE NINE District of Columbia Boxing Commission Physician Marvin McLean announced after a cur sory examination of Galento's hand he did not believe there was a break. "His hand may be broken," McLean said. "I think it is not" Galento's manager, Harry Mendel, agreed to have Tony taken to a hospital for an x-ray examination. Up to the time of the rough house finish, Baer had pounded Galento into bloody pulp and had his foe on the verge of a knockout. The convincing victory earned Buddy a possible July crack at Heavyweight Champion Joe Louis' crown. Buddy's triumph made com plete the Baer family's conquest of Galento. Tony had suffered a technical kayo at the hands of the elder member of the Baer fighting firm Max at Jersey City last summer. This was Galento i first start since then and possibly his valedictory to the fight game, Tony just didn't have it to night "She is strong and possesses the ideal disposition. MISS BETZ PRODUCT OF GRIFFITH PARK COURTS Miss Betz is an A student 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 la 5 feet 6. Sh weighs 127 pounds. Miss Betz began playing ten nis at 13. She does not like to be slow balled. An impatient player un- Alio Marbte Dscvthj- Bandy til this winter, she lost confi dence and resorted to slow-balling herself. Her forte is aggression, not so much from the 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.

McShain Downs Pete In Slambake Johnson Flattens Danny Savitch; Bulldog Takes Tsakoff In Local Bout Dogged, dancing Danny Mc Shain did it again last night. In what will probably go down as the wildest, weirdest, and blood iest slambake In the canvas- bound annals of Klamath rassle history, the handsome, curly- haired man from the south belt ed Pitiful Pete Belcastro into the mat for his second straight vic tory over the Weed Roman be fore a jam-packed armory full of screaming tans. The bout didn't end with the final fall but continued In and out of the ring for fully five min utes with Referee Ernie Plluso. two cops and a spectator in volved. To to Toe Gore began to flow early in the first session. Both lads open ed immediately with a barrage of elbowing which shortly open ed the stopper on Belcastro's nose. It was toe to toe through the opening stanza until Belcas tro flattened the coast junior heavyweight champ with a body press at 4:37. Danny shot back before the next heat started and, with Pi- lusos back turned, tried to needle bleeding Pete from tne rear. Ernie stopped it until the gong rang: then the lads went to it again with the usual slug ging. McShain took the second one In 3:59. More of the same t ween-round battling harried Weed's pride as he fought his streaming nose with the third round pending. Plluso meantime was getting mad. A body press settled the whole thing at 3:15 of the last grapple with Danny's arm going in the air. It was here Danny took over the matter of Bulldog Jackson who had been leering in Bel castro's corner through the slaughter. Pete tried to inter vene so Daniel went after him. Lands en Carpet The patient Plluso tried to break it up but landed on the carpet Ernie snapped at this point and with three beautiful right hooks toppled the Califor- man into the seats and the lap of one Walt Molatore's ace chef. Walt, who hasn't grappled with anything tougher than a medium rare in years, threw in a mental sponge which two cops enforced at the ringside. Somehow Pete got back into it, they both got back into the ring, and Ernie hauled 'em apart and into the showers. Two partly excellent matches led up to the main event In the first, Tiger Tsakoff known also as Basil Nenoff, the son of Steve Nemoff who once fought Frank Gotch, it is said lost a foul de cision to Bulldog Jackson, the scourge of or from Skagway. Basil, a handle-bar mustached gent who might have stepped out from behind Lillian Russell, won only the second fall that on a Boston crab. This go furnished what should be termed comic relief to the evening's mat card. Tiger Bopped Jackson, seemingly infuriated that Tsakoff protested the de cision, grabbed a chair and hop ped back through the ropes but alert Ernie took it away from him. The Skagway rassler snatched It long enough to bop the Tiger smartly on his shiny dome but Piluso stopped it for good. Two newcomers, Danny Sav- Ich and Gus Johnson, started the middle event with a display of pure skill which, as it must to all grapplers, quickly came to an end.
