Won PORAT AND
STRIBLINC WILL
BATTLE JUNE l8
BY BERT DEMBY
United Press Staff CorerSpondent

CHICAGO, June 10. W.H-W. l..
"Young" Stribling, the Georgia
Peach, began training here today
for a fight Monday, June 16 in
which he intends to ruin the heavy
weight championship aspirations of
Otto Won Porat, who for some reas-
on has achieved the reputation of
being hard man to beat.
w. l.. came here in perfect physi-
cal condition and he is confident
that he can defeat the Norwegian,
who is famed as a punchcr but who
never has beaten anybody of any
consequence.
In facing Stribling, Won Porat
will have the hardest job of his ca
rcer on his hands. Otto is called
the zone punch man., but if mem
ory serves correctly the only man
he ever has stopped with one punch
was Jack De Nave, a youngster
who literally dived into Otto's fist
while trying to land a right cross.
If one takes the record books
there is no comparison between the
two men. Stribling should win cas-
lily. However, Won Porat has
knocked out such men as Big Ben
Sullivan, Tiny Herman, Duke Horn,
and Sam Silverburg. On the other
hand, Sully Montgomery who never
was much of a fighter, twice stayed
10 rounds with the Norwegian;
Martin Burke, Jack Dorval and Pa
olino Uzcudun beat him, and he
lost even to Tom Heeney after the
latter was regarded as "washed
up"
Johnny Risko took 10 round de-
cision from Won Porat and Phil
Scott beat Otto on a foul in two
rounds.
Taking up Stribling one finds
good record and there is saying
in the fight world today that if w.
i. would hustle he might some day
be champion.

Road Runner Unchanged
 During 100000 Years

Berkeley, Cal. Feb. P)- Leigh NJ. Larson, research work CT at the University Of California believes he has found in the road runner d creature which has re- sisted the process of evolution for at least 100000 years.
 Larson announced yesterday that he had found fossils Of the road runner in pleistocene strata near Los Angeles and that they indicated the species of 100000 years ago was the same as the bird Of today. It was his opinion that the bird had not changed because his environment had re- mained stationary.
 The road runner. or chaparral cock, is found mainly in Califor- mia, although it inhabits the west as far cast as Texas. It gained it's name from the speed al which It runs.

SHUTE IS AGAIN TOURNEY WINNER
Youthful Pro Comes in First in
 Texas Open Event

San Antonio, Tex, Feb. Ri- Densmorc ShutC, almost unknown until he won the Los Angeles open today as the sensation of the win ter month golf tournaments. He had d cashiers check for 5 ,500 in his pocket, first prize in the Texas open, and definitely had removed from the "morning glory" class.
 If ever a man shot super perfect golf. it was Shute in the 72-holc grind that closed late yesterday. H IS rounds of 6S-69-69-71 for q total of TT over the tricky par Il layout were shot under almost every imag- inaDlc condition. On Saturday. Tn a misting rain and over Soddcn course, he did 69. and in his final round yesterday, with three oppo- nentS right on his heels and q gall lery billoWing about him all the way, ne calmly registered par II.
 While Shute's brcath-takins game was q thing of beauty to the spec tators, it was tough on the other boys, four of his golling compatriots ended up with par or better for the three day struggle and found them selves accepting checks in three fig ures. Al t,spinosa, Ed Dudley, aud Neal Mcintyre, all came in with totals of @So, fonr under par, yet had 10 be content with S,7o0 ui- vidcd between thcm. Tony Mancro. had 2 perfect for which he poch- etcd $500.

Horton Smith. whose rise 10 the ColfinG heights last winter was con- 1 parable to the present one of Shutc, finished with 999 licks and had noth- i ing except regrets.
