HOWARD FACES MAN WHO KAYOED HIM
 SHORT TIME AGO

New Haven. May 22-(SpeciaD- Bout No ? was added to Al Weilrs outdoor card to be presented at the White City stadium next Thursday night when he signed Abe Callahan Lipschitz to meet Buddy Howard over the eight round route. The contract was signed late last night.
 Yesterday it was announced that Chuck Burns had been selected as the opponent for Al Gainer in one of the three feature eight rounders and the job left is for Weill to find a man to meet Marty Fox, Gotham Hebrew. The three eights will top off bill of 34 rounds of boxing.
 Signing Lipschitz was good piece of work on the part of Weill for the bout will serve double purpose. It should provide plenty of action for the customers and at the same time will give a positive tip-off on Buddy Howard.
 There are many followers of How ard who have the opinion that his fighting days are numbered and that it would be advisable for him to hang up the gloves. The fact that Howard was knocked out by Lip- schitz in Madison Square garden last week only added more to their argu- ment.
 But in this case it isn't matter of Howord being knocked out-but how. He started off against Lipschitz like a world beater and for three rounds had him very much on the run except for those seconds in the third round when he had him on the mat. In the third Howard nailed Abe Callhan and dropped him and the Hebrew remained on the canvas until the count of nine. And he was just about able to make his feet.
 But in the fourth the complexion changed. A stinging left found How ards ear and this was followed im- mediately by right to the jaw. How ard went down and didn't get up un- til after ten had been counted. ''I thought the house fell on me when he connected with my ear." Howard said. "It sort of paralyzed me. And don't know a thing about that right"
 Maybe that left won't land in their second meeting next week. Maybe it will. The thing for Howard to do is to put more steam on the right he used in the third round. One sure way of not getting hit is to knock the other fellow out. And in the meantime Weili is working on the prelims

 A Clean Sweep
 The Philadelphia Athletics profit ed most by the intersectional strife for they won all II of their games and established their leadership in the American League to two and one-half games over the second place New York Yankees. The St Louis Cardinals, who built up sub- stantial lead in the national circuit against western teams. fared badly lE the East and lost four of six con- tests. Their margin over the second place New York Giants was reduced to .0O4 percentage points.

CANADIAN-YANK
 DOUBLES BEGIN;
 EVEN ON SINGLES

Montreal, May 21.-(UP)-With each country having won one of the opening singles contests, the United States and Canada met in the dou- bles match, to-day of their final North American zone round of Davis cup tennis play.
 Frank Shields and Sidney Wood, both of New York, will form the United States pair and will be pitted against Dr Jack Wright and Marcel Rainville, the ranking No and No 2 Canadian stars. Shields and Wood ranked as slight favorites.
 One Apiece
 Shields won an easy victory yes- terday over Wright in straight sets, S-6, 6-2. 6-2. while Rainville beat Wood in a gruelling five set battle, 4-6. 6-4, 6-3, 2-6. 6-4.
 Wood staged a remarkable come back after losing two of the first three sets to even the match at sets each only to lose the contest when he netted his attempted re- turns of Rainville's volleys. Rain- ville's change of pace enabled him to win. The Canadian star played cautious tennis and waited for Wood to commit errors rather than att tempt to drive by the young New Yorker.
 Service Did It.
 Shields won easily. Ills bullet-like returns kept Wright bewildered and after the first set Wrights backhand failed to function. Shields kept Wright on the base line most of the time and surprised local fans with his ability to return everything Wright had Co offer.

|EVANS-BARTUSH
 MEET ON MAT AGAIN | NEXT FRIDAY NIGHT
Popular Return Bout Sign- ed By Waterbury A. C. McMilIen May Also Show Here

Because their last match was left sort of hanging in the air" by a sudden decision in favor of Billy Bartush. ex-Chicago university foot baller, Promoters George Mulligan and Jim Downing will present the mat melee again this coming week, with Bartush. opposed by Big Bill Evans. 230 pound Choctaw Indian. and as rough customer as local wrestling fans have seen in years. The two Bills will get together once again next Friday night in Bucking- ham hall in one of two main bouts to a finish.
 What a Bout.
 For 20 seconds more than five minutes of their scuffle last week, fans were treated to some of the hardest wrestling seen in these parts since the mat game started a come- back in this town. Evans threw Bartush out of the ring on his head before the bout was three minutes old, whereupon the Lithuanian came back and smacked the Evans coup- tenance with utter abandon. The return bout shoulud be SiZZler.
 A Good Move
 Probability that Jim McMillen, University of Illinois grappler will show in Waterbury for the first time was strong this morning, ac- cording to Promoter Downing. His opponent will be Rudy Desek, Bo- hemian wrestler of excellent reputa- tion, who has made distinct hit !, l,4 hnn x,I the deal is not closed for McMil- len yet and if it does fall through, Desek will face Toro Hiyake, 210 pound Japanese who gave Jim Lon- dos, claimant of the world cham pionship a great struggle in Louis- vile, the night before the Kentucky Derby. The remainder of the card will be announced over the week end

LEFT HOOK PLUS
  RING SHARPNESS WILL TAKE TITLE
La Barba Figured 8 to 5 Over BattalinO for Feath- CT Crown Tonight at the Garden
By DIXON STEWART

United Press Stan Correspondent)
 New York, May 22-(UP)-Fidel Ia Barba of California, who as a fiy- weight was one of the truly great ring champions of recent years. will make his bid for the worlds ,feath- erweight title tonight when he meets Christopher Bat" Battalino of Hartford, Conn, in 15-round bout at Madison Square Garden.
 Both of the title bout participants are graduates of the amateur ranks. La Barba won the Olympic fyweight title in 1924 and then turned pro- fessional, winning world fyweight honors. He retired undefeated in 1927 to enter Stanford university and returned to the ring in 1929 as bantam. Growing into the feather weight class. he earned to-night's championship opportunity by de- feating all ranking contenders.
 Had Great Start
 Battalino started boxing as an amateur in 1925 and in 1927 won the national fyweight title, knock ing out four opponents in less than eight minutes of fighting. He turned professional the same year and af- ter 23 bouts won the worlds cham pionship on a 15-round decision over Andre Routis of France in September, 1929. Broken hands in- terfered with his career and his only notable performance since win ming the title was surprise 15 round victory over Kid Chocolate of last November.
 a rtf I. ian is rated generally as cheese champion" and is an to 5 under dog in the betting. His Hartford supporters who have witnessed his greatest ring triumphs contend that he is a truly great champion and expect to profit handsomely by backing him in to-night's bout. These same friends who made a cleaning" by taking the to odds offered against Battalino in the Chocolate contest and are con- fident that tonight will establish their townsman as a worthy success sor to great featherweight cham pions of the past.
 That Chocolate Bout
 At least, the Hartfordians know they will get a real run for their money, Battalino is game to the nth degree as was proved in his bout with Chocolate when he got up off the floor after first round knock down and made a great uphill bat tie to victory. The Bat" is a throwback to the Battling Nelson type of fighter. He is unusually strong and rugged. a strong body puncher and an aggressive goxer. fin a finish fight he would be fa- vored to defeat anyone in the class. but over the 15-round route he does not figure to keep pace with La- Barba. e.
 Too Classy
 La Barba is the better boxer and Is certain to pile up a big early lead. His best blow is a left hook to the face, and Battalino is wide open for this punch. Enough of these punches will slow down even the rugged Battalino and if La Barba's left hook does not carry him to a second worlds champion ship the result of the bout will go down as e surprising upset. La Barba does not figure to stop Batfa- lino-no one ever has accomplishea that feat-but he should pile up n big point advantage.

:. JUST AN ACT CRIMES ADMITS;
 SLIPPERY ELM IS
 HIS BIG NEMESIS
By HENRY McLEMORE (Unitcd Press Stan Correspondent)

T. | (United Press Stan Correspondent) New York, May 22-(UP) The next time you see be- whiskered Butleigh Grimes scowling, growing, fuming and fussing out there on the mound for the St Louis Car dinals turn to your timid neighbor and tell him not to be afraid. Tell him that Mister Grimes is doing nothing more than praeticing his old trick of making the cash customers hate him in a large and expan- sive way.
 You might even tell the timid one he should be ashamed for booing Mister Grimes inasmuch as Burieigh. likely as not, Is sick nigh unto death and wanting mighty badly to call it a day and lay down. Sick. mind you, from the slippery elm he chews to produce the proper fabrication for his splitter. ball delivery.
 Gets Him Down
 "Yeah," Grimes told the writer in a conversation yesterday, sometimes that durn slippers elm gets me down and I feel so sick I couldn't beat Oshkosh Prep. I don't dare to take the stuff out. of my mouth for what with 1t tasting like 1t does and me feeling like do, never would get it back in again.
 Getting back to his belligerent tac- tics on the mound Grimes, like his counterpart in boxing, Jack Sharkey, acts mean deliberately.
 "The more you strut and argue Grimes said, "the more the fans will despise, you and the more they dispise you the more they'll come to the old ball park to see you get beat. And I'm not so dumb as to fail to realize that owners appre- ciate a player who can pull 'em through the gate.
 Serious Sometimes
 "Of course, all my scowls and arr guments are not part of my act. hate to lose and when l think I'm getting the worst of 1t from players or umpire believe in expressing my opinion. might not help matters but it makes me feel whole lot better.
 Burleigh was asked if there was any particular hitter, or hitters he disliked to see come to bat in . pinch.
 Must Beat Giants
 No. l rate batters as good. or- dinary and sorry. One good one is just about as dangerous as another. That is, it doesn't make much diff ference whether it's Terry, Herman, Hornsby or some other .S6O-plus hitter in a pinch for any one of them is likely to hit. And before I go to dinner let me tell you that although I'm nearing forty I feel just the same as l. did ten years ago: that the game I lost to the Athletics in the 1880 world series the one which Foxx broke up-was the toughest game ever lost! that I hope we get another shot at the As this year; that we are going to win the pennant, and that the Giants are going to give us the hardest fight"
