 Pinehurst, N. C., March 24.-(UP) --"Today me sticky-sticky. Very bozo maromokey.
 Tomorrow maybe me wurry-- wurry."
 wouldn't swear to that being the precise Japanese pronunciation but that's what 1t sounded like as Torchiro (Torchy) Todd, p, and some 1000 miles from his native Kobe, sat in the tap room of the Pinehurst Country club yesterday and told of his final practice round for the north and south open tournament.
 New Words
 Sticky" is Japanese for pretty and "bozo maromokey" the same for very good day. "Wurry" is Nip ponese for our charming word lousy. That is the interpretation of Mister Bob Harlow, one-time manager of Walter Hagen, now tournament di- rector for the PGA and the man conducting "Torchy" and his part ner 6clSuiCuHl 6dyodc uAOuiiu tiiC professional golf circuit.
 Mister Harlow has been with "Torchy" and "Chin" since they landed in Los Angeles in December but his knowledge of Japanese is not what one would term fluent. He literally pokes answers out of them with his elbows and fingers. which may account for the fact that the two Japanese boys together now weigh c total of less than 22S pounds. But 1t is q gallant story nc tells of the two little fellows travels in this country; a story which makes you hope that when the north and south prize money oi elOOO is handed out next Thursday 'Torchy" and "Chin" will get Q ssib- stantlal chunk of 1t.
 without any too much backing from the Japanese Golf association the two boys landed on the coast with but ei.iO0 each, determined C make the complete swing Of the tOurnamonts with the American pros. You can't travel and eat and sleep all over this country for foul

Tomorrow night at 8 o'clock the North End "" Cadets will take on the St. Joseph Holy Name Jrs. at the North End "" before one of the largest crowds to ever witness a basketball encounter on the "" court this season. The Holy Name Jrs., under the direction of Wally pranskietas, former Crosby basket ball star, are big favorites in the Brooklyn section due to the string of victories that they have run off in the past few weeks, but Cadet rooters know the stuff that the young and poppy soldiers possess and are more than confident that the North Finders will turn in a victory. Ramiekas, August, Ad- ans, Verbyla, Vaitekaitis and Sale monas round out the Holy Name roster. Adams and verbyla, two standout Holy Manners have dis played fine basketball throughout the season and will endeavor to show the North End fans how bas- ketball Is played in the Brooklyn section.
 Sforza, Jacovino, Longo, Santa lucia, Celentano and the two Sere- duck brothers, Will and Tony with Bill Habbers will round out the Cadet squad, with Sforza and Ce- lentano, two soldier sharp-shooters will be ready to open their bag of shooting tricks if the going gets tough. Coach Hennie JJaco- vino sent the team through a special drill yesterday and is satisfied with the results.

For three months they have been moving from tournament to tournament, state to state in 8 second hand car that cost $55. Most of the other pros stay in the best hotels, but the Japanese boys when they hit town, head straight for the room and bath for dol- lar and Q half" inns and their food is taken over the counter or of one-armed chairs.
 Tough Task
 The car is falling apart, and very rapidly "Torchy" spoke of 1t to- day with chuckle saying We hope she don't go haywire until we reach Augusta" It gave out not long ago at midnight, and on lonely road into Lynchburg, Va, but Torch" and "Chin" grabbed their clubs and hitch-hiked into town. The boys money has been running pretty low, despite the $l,100 that "Torchy" has won in the tournaments played.
 The worst blow came in Jackson vile the other night when "Torchy." returning from Q movie. was held up by four armed thugs and robbed of $500. A bit homesick already, this drove 'Torchy" to head for a boat for home. But when Harlow, phil osophically. pointed out that he had missed lot of puts in this country that cost him more than the bandits, "Torchy" decided to stay. On Ills Game

PORTO REGAIN TO
 GET ROSS BOUT DURING SUMMER
Win Over PachO Was Tip- off as to Real Class of
 CanzOneri Challenger
By GEORGE KIRKsEY United Press stan Correspondent

AAAASAASS9 United Press Stan Correspondent
 New York, March 24. (UP)-Tem- porarily baked at getting a crack at the lightweight title, Pedro Mon- tanez of Puerto Rico, current sem sation of New York's small clubs. loomed today as likely challenger for Barney Ross wealterweight championship in the first big match of the outdoor season.
 Montanez strengthened his claim as @ challenger in both divisions last night by giving Bobby Pacho, California Mexican, thorough go- ing over before packed house of 1000 at the St. Nicholas Arena. The whirlwind attack of the Puerto Rican won him every round and the unanimous 10-round decision of the referee and two judges. Montanez weighed 133 3-4, Pacho 136. The re- ceipts were estimated at $10,000.
 Jacobs Impressed
 Promoter Mike Jacobs, scouting for new talenta for the outdoor sea- son, watched Montanez rip Pacho apart for eight rounds, and said:
 "What else does Q guy need to be champion?"
 Pacho, who had Tony Canzoneri on the floor and fought two close 10-round bouts with Barney Ross, couldn't do anything with the slash ing Puerto Rican.
 "Canzoneri or Ross may outsmart him." commented Pacho afterwards, But they can't throw as many punches as fast as he can. I never could get 8 good shot at him." It was MontaneZ' twelfth straight victory since he made his first bat tie here in October. He has scored seven decisions and five knockouts. Named as one of the three out standing challengers for the light weight title, Montanez withdrew from an elimination tournament planned by the New York commis- sion among himself, Lou Ambers, Herkimer, N. Y, and Wesley Ramey, Grand Rapids, Mich.
 "Montancz was withdrawn from the eliminations because we do not want to deal in fight futures" said Lou Burston, his co-manager. When Canzoneri gets ready to de- fend his title, Montanez will be ready to meet any challenger who stands in his way to the champion ship"
 Outdoor Bout
 Meantime, Montanez is ready to invade the wetlerweight field, and give away poundage to Ross, whose normal weight is around 143 pounds. Jacobs wants to stage the Ross Montanez bout as his first big match of busy outdoor season. { Not only can Montanez fight with both fists, but he has developed one of the biggest following any boxer ever attracted in the small clubs in the short span of five months.

the same way about the visiting Americans. I was with Walter Hagen when he tried for his first British open, and when he finished way down about thirtieth or for- tieth, the British pros said an American never would win their open-that golf was British game and Americans just couldn't expect to conquer 1t.
