 Peterson now holds three cham pionships, British heavy, Welsh heavy and British cruiser. He is after the world title, and may ap- pear in America soon.

expected he would be ready soon
to carry on the challenge Of for

Papyrus and Epinard.
Waiting at the dock, anxious fo.

BOXING CARD AT
ARENA TONIGHT

Two of the hardest punchers IN
the game will feature the main
event on the card re-opening box
ing at the Imperial Valley Athletic
club tonight. when Al Alicante and
Joe Saldivar square off for their
l0-round bout.
Boxing fans who have been wish
ing for chance to see the boys
throw the leather. will have plenty
Of opportunity to do SO when these
two get mixing it up.
There may be no love just now
between the Japs and the Chinese.
There never is any between a Mex
lean and q Filipino. They just nat
urally take delight in poking the
daylights out Of each other, and
that is what Alicante and Saldivar
may be expected to do.
Alicante has been recognized as
q real conner in the middleweigh:
division The Filipino has been
seen n several main events here,
at San Diego and at Los Angeles.
His last appearance here, when
Dick Ramies was his opponent, was
q Wild affair, with the boys slap
ring anywhere between the ankles
and the scalp but both of them
taking the breaks as they came.
Saldiyar, formerly a lightweight,
has put on beef in the last two
years but 1t is the right sort of
beef He is a legitimate middle
weight now and has retained the
punch that made him one OF the
boys for the other lightweightS to
dodge.
Joe has never been knocked off
his feet and he doesn't intend that
Alicante should spoil his record to-
night. Some of Alcant's followers
will take that bet though.
Santiago Lujon, fast-stepping
little Mexican, will start the
Filipino feud in the semi
final, when he tackles Joe Calder,
q little brown brother from Seattle.
who is reputed to be travelling
dynamite.
Boxing at 1l9 pounds. these boys
are expected 10 give the fanS a
good appetizer for the main event.

be an attraction in any club along
the Pacific coast.
Max Wilton, q newcomer to Fl
Centre, will mix with Joe Garcia
Of Imperial in the special four
rounder and there will be a four
round curtain raiser.
The usual low prices will pre-
vail and ladies with escorts will be
admitted to the arena without

DIECEL HOLDING
SLIGHT LEAD IN
BIG GOLF MATCH
BY GEORGE II. BEALE
United Press Staff Correspondent

Aqua CALIENTE, Jan. Is. U.R)
Far ahead of most of the field
and holding a two stroke lead over
his nearest competitor Leo Diegel
started over his home course again
today hoping to continue his ex-
cellent shooting and win first hon
ors in the Aqua Caliente open gol1
tournament.
The third l8 hole round of the
70 hole, $4,000 competition began
with hardly more than a dozen
golfers given a good chance to over
take Diegel, who knows his course
and is accustomed 10 the atmos-
phere of this famous resort. With
My 36 holes to play, the Aqua CAL
ante professional was conceded an
zcellent opportunity to win.
Observers pointed out, however,
that tournaments at this resort
frequently are marked by upsets
and radical changes in the stand
ings of players from day to day
a situation not so often apparent
in competition in the United States.
They blame it on the romance Of
Old Mexico, or the freedom, or the
weather.
Diegels 1873 for the first Sc holes
shattered par by six strokes. He
clipped four from par yesterday
when he went around in So.
Charles Guest Of Deal, N. j., had
slipped up behind him, with l40,
and Gene SaIazen of New York fol-
lowed with 142. Fred Morrison, the
young Culver city pro who led the
field at the end of the first days
round, remained up with the lead
ers at 143. Paul Runyon Of White
Plains, N. Y, and Walter Hagen
OF Chicago, were close behind with
l44s.
Some of the other leading pro-
fessionals did not fare very we'll.
George Won Elm and Abe Espinosa
required $50 strokes for the 36
holes. Joe Kirkwood was consider
ed out of the running at Isl, and
the rest were grouped far down in
the list.
Macdonald Smith, who won the
Los Angeles open early this week,
withdrew yesterday, declaring he
was bothered with q bad cold.

NEW YORK. Jan. l5.-A very
smart baby indeed is' Babe Ruth.
So smart a baby, in fact, he'll
probably collect $4,000 in these
DAYS when q nickel looks like Q
manhole cover.
You know what the economists
say about cycles. And I amt talk

YOU must know I'm talking about
plain, garden variety. Roger Bah

What I started &c say was that
Bobe Ruth's publicity runs IN

the baseball season when the mans
ability to knock the ball over Mrs.
Harrisons backyard keeps him on
the front pages. Don't ever think
that during the rest Of the year
Babe Ruth is lying up there in
that l6-room apartment of his
knitting Christmas ties. No, ma'am.
He and his press agent (whose
name we won't use lest we offend
Mister Christy Walsh are eter-
nally figuring up as follows:
well, whatn we do this week?
Do you want to go hunting or
spraiu your ankle? Now, Babe,
you don't have to do these nerve
wracking things if you don't want
TO. There's guy around who
wants you too start a hat shop.
And I'VE got it figured where you
can make a hole-in-one at Winged
Foot. But maybe right at this
moment. it would be n swell idea
for you to return unsigned that
contract the Yankees offered you.
Whatta va think?'
Nov, Christy," replies the Babe,
"I amt paying you to ask me ques-
tions. But here you come around
tantalizing me. You know I'd
rather send back contracts than
eat, much less sprain my ankle"
"Okay. Babe, we'll send that con-
tract calling for $4,000 back. You
seal up the envelope, while I phone

ing the daily press, let us go back
a week or two ago when Mister
Ruth was getting primed to receive
a Yankee contract.
BY some strange psychic means
all the sports editors and all the
picture editors east Of the Great
Divide learned that the Babe was
going to make a personal appear
ance in trunk and shorts in Artie
McGovern's gymnasium. Need
say the Babe made a personal ap-
pearance in trunk and shorts in
