PETROLLE BELTS
 OUT SUAREz IN
 SENSATIONAL GO
Fargo Express" Now Has Clear Track to Bout With Canzoneri-Fight Drew l4,OOO

New York. June 2s.-(UP)- Billy Petrolle, the Fargo Express, had a clear track towards the worlds lightweight cham pionship to-day after his nine.round knock out of Jueto Suarez at Madison Square Garden last night in one of the greatest lights of this or any other season.
 The victory clearly established Petrolle as the ranking contender for Tony Canzoneri's title and con- vinced the 14.0o0 spectators that not only Petrolle but his victim also is destined ultimately to attain the championship.
 Both Good Men.
 Suarez was sidetracked temporar- fly through his defeat but it IS doubtful # any lightweight except Petrolle could have accomplished
 The "IAttle Wild Bull of the Pam- pas'' was defeated convincingly enough. but not until he had made . heroic stand in battle which ranks with the epochal contest be- tween his fellow countryman, Luis Tirpo, and Jack Dempsey as one of the most thrilling ring bouts of re- cent years.
 COlOrful Kid.
 Suarez, like Firpo in the bout with Dempsey. barely escaped a knockout during the first thirty seconds of action. And, like Firpo. he staged a courageous rally to turn the tide and make . strong bid for victory before finally being stopped.
 The defeat was Suarez's first in a ring career. which includes 50 anna teur and 21 professional bouts.

Waterbury amateurs took two of three fights on the weekly simon pure card at Capitol park last night in Hartford. Eddie Dolan and Dan- ny Martin Junior hung up triumphs, the former winning three round decision and Martin scoring a one- round knockout. Rocco LaFreda was rocked to sleep in one round spelling the Brass Cfty's chances for a perfect evening.
 Dolan defeated Sal Canata of Holyoke in a close fight. Tho Pa per City boy gave Eddie plenty of opposition, but the local lad piled up enough points in the last two rounds to win Referee Joe Currys decision. Danny Martin Junior landed one of his hard rights to the whiskers of Johnny Troy of Hartford and the Insurance City lad bit the dust as Cury counted him out. Johnny Bellus, New Ha- ven veteran, proved too much for Rocco LaFreda kayoing the Italian boy in the opening round.

TANKS ADVANTAGE
 NOT ADMITTED BY RYDER CUP BRITONS.
Burke and Cox Top Quali- fiers, Play EasterbroOk and E. q. WhitcOmbs To- day-BallOon Ball Used
By l.. s. CAMERON niteh Preea SnoPta Editor.

| NOnAtCSb 1HGco OkbUHt8 EAAAsOsJ Columbus. O., June 2e.-(UP)-- Players representing Great Britain and the United States met on the scioto course here to-day in compe- tition for the Ryder cup, the worlds greatest professional golf team championship trophy.
 Earrings which resulted when the lineups of the rival teams were an- pounced on the eve of play placed Archie Compston and William H. Davies, two of Briton's best, against Johnny Farrell and Gene Sarazen, long companions of the links and of the vaudeville stage. This was to be the first match of the day, and prob- ably one of the best.
 ''Tlhc Haig" Picks Duncan
 Walter Hagen, captain of the Unit sd States team, placed himself in the second foursome along with young Densmore Shute. They were to play Hagen's arch rival, George Duncan, who is paired with Arthur G. Hav- CTS.
 Charles Whitcombe, captain of the British. side, elected not to play in the doubles match. He put Abe Mitchell and Fred Robson in the third foursome. They will meet Leo Diegel and Al Espinosa. The fourth match will pit Syd Easter brook and E. G. Whitcombe of Great Britain against Bill Burke and .Wiffy Cox.
 New Ball in Play
 The Americans were expected to win. They have everything in their favor. While the teams, inherently. rtay be of equal potentialities. The United States players will be using their own balloon bali, will be play ing under hot weather conditions to which they are accustomed, and will be competing on a course with which many of them are quite fa- miliar. Fred Pignon. manager of the British team, and Captain Charles Whitcombe both refused to admit that the advantages laid against them. They pointed out that the British players have practiced with the new ball for some weeks, and that they have tested their shots on Scioto's difficult layout.
 Anyway" Pignon said, I've ob- tained insurance on the cup when we brought it over. and we insured i. for a return trip"
 EVEN ON WINS
 This is the third Ryder cup com petition. The '. s. won the first, held at worcester, Mass, in 1927. The score was 9 1-2 to 2 1-2. Bri- tain won the second play held at Moortown. Eng, in 1929. The score was [ to 5.
 The four contests to-day will be by two- ball foursomes over 36 holes. On Saturday eight singles matches will be played, also over 36 holes. If a match stands as tie at the end of 36 holes each side will re- ceive one-half point.
 The first doubles match was scheduled at 10 a. m. EST, with others following at intervals of 10 minutes. ss Ss v r@

BRITISH WRITER SAYS COUNTRYMEN ARE SIX DOWN IN
 RYDER CUP MEET
BY CLAIRE DURCKY NEA Service Sports WRiter

Columbus, ohio. June Caustic criticism is likely to be heaped upen the British Professional Golferf as- sociation when the news is cabied across that America has triumphed in the biennial Ryder cup matches at gcioto Country club here June 2e and 27. evening the series at two vac-
 This criticisna---and the only thing that will hold 1t back is . British victory-will be launched at the P. c. A. because they framed up some silly rules which kept Percy Aliiss, Aubrey Boomer and young Henry Cotton off the team.
 There may be better British golf. CTS than the trio mentioned, but each Is . match for any player when he is Ion his game"
 Cotton several times was asked to join forces with the British team but each time he refused because at another specified time. The young country at certain time and leave they insisted that he come to this man figured this restriction to his activities would cost him money. He believes he has . good chance to win the U. s. open at Inverness early in July and he wants to stick around this country . while to cash in on his prize.
 The rule eliminating both Boomer and Allis is new one this year which demands that each member of the team be a honne-bred, home.em. ployed golfer. Boomer has been em- ployed at the St. Cloud club in the Paris district for several years. Allis has been associated with . German club for some time.
 The P. c. A. branch in this coun. try recognizes no such rule. With such a rule in force, the team would Diesel, professional star employed at the Agua Caiiente club in Baja Cali. fornia, Mexico.
 On the days that Great Britain Is striving to retain the Ryder cup, 1t is practically certain that three of | the spectators will be Cotton, Alliss and Boomer. Suppose the English are badly beaten.
 That is the picture painted by Ire. vor c. Wignall, noted British sports writer. for his readers in the London Express. Wignall visions the British as six down before they get to the first tee.
 "rhe omission of Cotton has par ticularly displeased Americans p writes Wignall. He has received more publicity than the rest of the chosen put together, and sympathy is with him. "The Americans are swimming along in their customary sweet way. There are no dissensions, no rum blings and no backbiting. Captain Hagen does not attempt to hide his belief that his team will win. One of the reasons why he did not come over to compete in the British open at Carnoustie, was that he was con- centrating on his game for the Ryder cup matches"
 The British P. c. A. may have lot to answer for--especially if Cot. ton, Boomer and Alliss merely stand by while their invaders take a beat ing.
