CHR|STY IS EAGER

- LEEK and scientific Vic Christy
goes against rough and rowdy
Ernie Dusek in the feature Of
- tomorrow nights wrestling card
at Turner's Arena, and oddly Christy
looks forward with eagerness to this
kind of match.
For, with his clean-cut wrestling
ways, Christy maintains that the wild
and woody boys always are the easiest
to clamp non-breakable hold upon
while they are swinging with their
fists and missing round-house punches.
The same pair met in a sensational
draw here last Winter after Christy
had conquered Ernie's brother, Rudy.
His showing against this detail of the
Dusek family created demand for
tomorrow nights return match. But
three draws with Danno O'Mahony
and two decisions over Dick Shikat
place Ernie in a favored spot, and
should install him as slight favorite.
Jack Donovan will meet Ivan
Managof in the 45-minute semi-f1nal,

John Katan against Mike Mazurh.

NEW YORK, March 11.-America's s
tennis forces may be saved the
expense Of another wasted trip to Eu-
rope this Summer in quest Of the

Australia, challenging in the North

Cricket Club.
It was at Germantown in 1927 that
the French aces, Cochet and Lacoste,
rallied to whip the two Bills" john
ston and Tilden, and take the famous
trophy to Europe. England, the pres
ent holder, seems safe for at least an
other year, whether the United States
or Australia emerges victorious on this
side.
Australia's trio Of Jack Crawford,
Vivian McGrath and Adrian Quist
looks more formidable than the pros
pective American lineup. with Wilmer
Allison and Don Bulge in the singles,
Allison and John Van Ryn or Bulge
and Gene Mako in the doubles and
Bryan (Bitsy) Grant in reserve.
Quist has developed as sensation
ally as Bulge, the California red
head. He beat Crawford for the AUS
tralian title and thus assures double
barreled threat in the singles.

Mangin emerged from last nights
final round match with Leonard Hart

some of his other championship
triumphs.
The scores were 6-1, 6-3, +6,

sixth-ranking player Of the country

who Is rated twenty-fourth.
Mangin had to fight to win the title,

the first round and Henry Culley Of
Santa Barbara, Calf, listed in the
country's second TO-" carried him an

MANGIN was almost frustrated
AA twice last night. The doorman
at the 7th Regiment Armory didn't
recognize him and Mangin had for
gotten to bring his players badge.
However, officials came to his aid and
he was admitted speedily.
Hartman almost frustrated him the
second time. For a time it seemed
that unorthodoxy might triumph over
form. Mangin had full control Of the
first two sets and came within point
Of making it So in the third. when
he tired suddenly from the severity of
his own pace.
Hartman capitalized on the opening
and ratified off four straight games to
pull out the set with display Of shot
making that was no less brilliant than
Mangin's in the first two sets.
Although Mangin came up for the
fourth set with his confidence and
touch restored, Hartman wasn't to be
shaken of easily and he hung on
tenaciously until Mangin finally broke
through his sliced service in the
eighth game and went out behind his
own delivery in the ninth.
