tackled shining black sateen on

the entire day at the sewing ma

it's reorganization.

feet. It's Duluth and honest work
for you now.'
One can't very well work up
much sympathy for Petrolle. He
quits with better than $150,OO0
tucked away and pair of money
making enterprises in his cigar store
and iron foundry, clear head, and
the respect and admiration of ev-
cry fight fan from here to Spokane.
OF course, he never did win that
championship he always craved,
but he gave half dozen champions
lickings they'll never forget. And
when he quit, he chose an alright
fighter to beat the tune for his
swan song
This Barney Ross of the Chicago
ghetto has what it takes. til be
a long time from now before a
lightweight comes along to dust
him off. In taking 10 straight
rounds from Petrolle last night he
showed everything champion
needs. Fast as a streak, he can give
it and he can take it, and how he
loves to mix it.
Told before the scrap that to
square off and blast it out with
Petrolle would be fatal, Ross an
swered the opening bell with leap
that carried him face to face with
Petrolle, and there he stayed most
of the time. And if he ever took a
backward step nobody saw it. Billy
nailed him with half a dozen of
the same sort of rights that have
flattened many of the rings best,
but Barney shook them off with a
toss of his head and bored In for
more.
In fairness to Petrolle it should
be pointed out that he was minus
the service of his dynamiting left
hand. Ever since the operation on
his left arm shortly before the
Canzoneri fight, Billy's offside fist
has been nothing more than a

ALTER
FEDERAL AID
APPLICATION

SACRAMENTO, Jan. Is. U.P) -
Changes in the states application
for federal funds to finance the
$170,000,O0O Central Valley water
project were to be considered by the
California water authority at a
meeting here today.
Altered requirements of the PWA
made necessary the states revised
application, Earl Lee Klly, chair
man of the authority, said. Instead
of giving 80 per cent of the total
cost of the approved projects as a
grant, the government will consider
applications for 80 per cent of the
cost of materials and labor, Kelly
explained.
In conforming to this requirement
the state would ask for a grant Of
$36, ,767 900 instead of $4,000, 900,
the difference in the amounts to be
added to the sum which California
will seek from the federal govern
ment as loan, according to Kelly.

tie that ended early today in a vic

Angered when the 11:15 p. m
deadline of the state athletic COM
mission forced Browning and Sa-
voldi to leave the ring with a draw
verdict, the fans rioted. Chairs
were ripped loose from the floor
and hurled into the ring. The gal
lery railing was smashed. Spec
tators were imperiled as flying mis-
siles sailed over their heads. The
demonstration lasted 80 minutes
before six police riot squads arriv-

NEGRO SPRINT
STAR OUT FOR

weeks of systematic training, Ralph
Metcalfe, Marquette university Ne
gro sprinter, will be ready in 10 days
to defend his unofficial title of the
worlds fastest human" in a long
campaign lasting six months.
Metcalfe will make his first start
in the 60-yard dash of the Millrose
A. A. games in Madison Square gar
den, New York, February 3. From
then until he competes in the ma
tional A. A. U. championships in
midsummer, he'll meet virtually ev-
cry sprinter in the country either
indoors or outdoors.
The big Chicago Negro with the
powerful finish is anxious to make
clean sweep this year and win
every race he enters. He almost &C
complishd that feat last year, when
he lost only one race. Emmett Top
pino, New Orleans flyer, beat him
in short sprint indoors. After that
defeat Metcalfe won % consecutive
sprints, including % on an all-tri-
umphant tour of European coun-
tries with a picked American team.
Since the football season, when he
served as water-boy on the Mar
quette gridiron team, Metcalfe has
been working out indoors on the
hard wooden floor of the school
gymnasium. During the holidays he
visited in Texas and had several
workouts outdoors. In a recent try
out indoors Metcalfe was timed at
:04.6 seconds for 40 yards. Consid-
cred good t mifor theemch a; lat

The match ended % minutes later
when Savoldi missed a drop kick
and Browning fell on him for the
third and deciding fall.
Browning tried to quiet the mob.
AS he climbed through the ropes to
announce his willingness to contin-
lie, storm of jeers, interspersed
with flying pieces of chairs and
gallery railing greeted him. Jack
La Rue, film actor, was accorded a
similar salvo when he too tried to
placate the crowd. He left the ring
in precipitate haste, howled down
by the angry fans. 1t was not un-
til Savoldi and Browning resumed
their struggle on the debris-strewn
floor that the crowd was lulled.
Browning had won the first fall
