PALMORE ARE
WELL-MATCHED

Hard hitting, clever and fast box
ing, and plenty OF action, is pro-
missed valley fight fans Friday night
when Baby Palmore and Gene Es-
pinosa tangle in the main event at
the Imperial Valley Athletic club.
Both boys have met and defeated
some of the topnotch men in their
class and their records show plenty
of good marks with minimum OF
bad ones.
Palmore rose to fame a year ago
when he plastered a knockout on
Speedy Dado, considered invincible
among the smaller men. Dado came
back in later bout to outpoint Pal
more, but he showed plenty of re-
spect for the dynamite which the
Babe carries in his fist.
ESpinoSa is recognized as one Of
the outstanding Filipino feather
weights and is the type that ought
to give Palmore plenty Of fight from
start to finish.
Bobby IIeyvas and Johnny Cruz
will put on the semi-final. Cruz IS
Filipino who comes here we'll rec
ommended, while fans know all
about Leyvas who got up off the
floor last week to beat his oppon-
| ent decisively.

event while Pelino Garcia will open

SILVER BLOC
NOT HOPEFUL
OF SUCCESS

WASHINGTON, March 21 UP)-
Congressional silver leaders private
ly admit little hope of passing this
session any of the sweeping legisla-
tion they have sponsored to put sill
yer back into the monetary picture.
Faced with the administrations
edict against such legislation pend
ing a thorough investigation of the
monetary issue, they were pushing
today the Dies bill which carries on
ly partial reconciliation program.
The Dies bill, now before the SEN
ate agriculture committee, would
permit silver up to a total of ST.
600000,000 in world market price
value to be received in payment for
agricultural exports. The induce
ment offered TO the Purchasers
would be a 10 to 25 per cent prem
ium above the world price of silver
The "16 to L silver bills appear
definitely shunted aside.
The Dies bill as yet has not been
definitely opposed by either the
White House or the treasury. Senate
silver leaders believe it will pass that
body unless the administration def
initely comes out against it.

Legal antics of Max Baer and his
lawyers and managers were contin-
ued in superior court today after
Judge Malcolm c. Glenn instructed
principals in the case to quit sha-
dow boxing" and present all the eVi-
dence they had.
The heavyweight fighter did so
much fidgeting, back slapping and
stage whispering in court late yes
terday that he finally was excused
so he could play golf.
While attorneys were Wrangling
about So items, he whispered, loud
ly, that they had not counted 200
fish / dropped in Tex Guinans
night club one night" Then he play
fully dropped a burning match in
the shoe of one of his accountants
and slapped companions back SC
hard that his victim began gasping
for air.
Judge Glenn said he would con-
duct the case himself today ano
finish the matter. The trial has con-
tinued sporadically since early il
the winter.

SPORThPARADE.

By HENRY McLEMORE
United Press Staff Correspondent

AUGUSTA. Ga, March 81. -
When at 10:35 a. m. tomorrow
Robert Tyre Jones steps up to the
first tee of the Augusta national
course waggles the big, black blud-
geon that is his driver, and leans
into one, sport IS biggest thrill for
1884 will have started.
There can't be any argument
about that. Belasco, Rickard, Zieg-
field and all the rest of the mighty
shoWmen could have spent week
together at Atlantic City without
topping the masters invitation tour
nament which will send golf IS me-
chanical man clicking over the
fairWays once again.
Look at the setup; Jones, better
than three years out of competitive
golf, decides to take another stab.
So what does he do? Nothing but
invite the world IS red hottest golf
ers to come down and take crack
at him.
One thing you can say for the
bows - they didn't back down.
They re all here. Espinosa, Smith,
Golden, Farrell, Hagen and the
rest of the veterans Jones licked
so numerically in the old days.
Here with a burning determination
to give the works to their old tor
mentor. And with them are the
youngsters.
Jones' decision to play again, and
his invitation to all the men who
could possibly pin back his ears, was
a gesture worthy of a De Bergerac
Nobody knows better than Bobby
the almost insurmountable odds
against his out-distancing such a
field single handed.
Yet, with superb contempt, he
challenged them all and to make
this gesture complete he managed
when the pairings were drawn TO
have himself grouped with mono
other than Mr. Paul Runyan, the
young ball of fire who has been
burning up the winter tournaments
How far, if any, Bobby has gone
back will be answered this week
Judging by his scores on this
course-he has had several practice
rounds in the siXtieS-he has lost
nothing but time. When a man
shoots IS, which he did few
days ago, he isn't doing anything
wrong.

Schmeling so decisively at Phila-

WINS
OVER RAMACE

LOS ANGELES, March 81. UP)
"A return match between Art Las
ky and Lee Ramage appeared like
ly today on the basis of disputed
decision Lasky scored over the
San Diego heavyweight in 10 rounds
at the Olympic last night before
10000 fans.
Lasky was a mauled and bleed
ing fighter when Referee Abe Roth
lifted his hand in token of victory
at the end of the 10 rounds. AL
though leading through the eighth,
his margin seemed lost in a Whirl-
wind attack that Ramage unleash
ed in the final two rounds. The
onslaught opened old cuts over
Lasky's eye, bringing a gush OF
blood.
The United Press score sheet gave
each of the fighters four rounds
with two even.
The Minneapolis veteran seemed
bent for a knockout in the fourth
when he pounded Ramage unmer-
cifully but the San Diegan came
back in the next two rounds to give
his opponent neat boxing lesson
Lasky scaled 1872, and Ramage
1856.
