INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
Continued from Page u
Bilbao Taken.

After eighty days of siege and al
que city of Bilbao has fallen into the
hands of the Spanish rebel army; a
tentative estimate stipulates the num-
Der of human lives sacrificed in the
course of the siege as something like
$4,000 (not counting the wounded)
more than half of these were women,
old men and children-persons who
took no part in the fighting.
During the last few days of the
siege horrible scenes were enacted
in Bilbao, and when the conquering
army entered, it found city largely
consisting of smoking ruins, and a
population on the very verge of
starvation. 1t is thought that Rebel
General Francisco Franco now will
attempt to take the city of Santander
and then concentrate his forces
around Madrid in supreme effort to
crush its resistance.
From all accounts it appears that
Germans and Italians are as active
as ever in the ranks of the rebels
in spite of the fact that Germany
and Italy once more have joined the
international non-intervention COM
mittee in London; their renewed
membership appears to mean as little
as did their first, in actual practice,
for judging from all evidence avail
able, they are still aiding the Span
ish rebel cause with men and NUM-
tons. Whether they are actually
sending soldiers and war material
now, one cannot say, but at least,
they had large forces of men and
huge stocks of munitions in Spain
months ago already, and it seems that
no effort has been made to with
draw that aid.
Soviet Triumph.
Throughout Europe it has created
distinctly bad impression that the
Russian Soviet authorities recently
have reSorted to mass executions of
alleged spies, saboteurs and friends
of the eXiled Leon Trotzky; there is
definite tendency to count out Rus
STA of the ranks of the great powers
since it has been demonstrated-so
its said-that conditions within the
army as well as within the govern
ment itself are anything but reassur-
ing.
Perhaps it was in desire to off
set that unfavorable impression that
the Moscow government on Thurs
day of last week ordered three filters
to go from the capital via the North
Pole to San Francisco in Russian
built airplane, equipped with a Rus
sian-constructed engine. The three
men, Valeri Chekaloff, Alexander
Belaikoff and Georges Baibukoff,
obeyed; they set out from Moscow,
crossed the North Pole, withstood the
treachery of the trackless wastes of
the northernmost parts of Canada,

TO SPANK VENTURE
Winner of TussIe Tonight
Apt to Get Chance at
Lightweight Title.

BY the Associated Press.
y EW YORK, February 26.-For
peek at what the fistic future
may have in store for him,
L provided he gets by Tony
Canzoneri in their coming bout, Light
weight Champion Lou Ambers should
take in tonight's battle between Enrico
Ventura and Pedro Montanez.
The betting Italian and the heavy
hitting Puerto Rican tangle for IS
rounds or less in Madison Square
Garden, if they successfully pass the
weight bogey-man" at the weighing
in this afternoon.
Since the clash has been sanctioned
by the State Athletic Commission as q
lightweight elimination" both fight
ers agreed to come in under the
division limit of 1875 pounds and posted
$500 forfeits to insure good inten-
tions."
Ventura Has Fine Record.
A S A result, the winner probably
will get shot at the title after
Champion Ambers and Challenger
Canzoneri get through swinging
April 2.
Despite Venturi's fine record which
includes an overweight draw with Am
bers and decisions over a dozen fighters
since he began his American invasion
last May, the betting odds are Z to 8
on the slugging Montanez Since he
came back after being out of action
four months last Summer with a cut
eye, the Puerto Rican has polished of
four opponents with quick knockoutS.
Ventura, while failing to show q
"haymaker" wallop, has outpointed u
sivals in 10 months with two-fisted
aggressiveneSs.
Montanez Is Body Puncher.
MONTANEZ'S favorite target is the
body. Ventura hasn't been tested
to date by slashing body puncher, but
he'll find out tonight whether he can
take it in the midsection.
The fight is Montanez's first trial over
the 15-round route. Ventura has done
It several times In his career.

Great With Irons.

"CHlCK EVANS, during the years
between 1910 and 1925 or 1927, was
the deadliest man with the intermedi-
ate and pitching irons the world has
ever seen since the days Of ]. H. Taylor.
Not once in a round, but a dozen times,
he'd plant those iron shots in a 10
foot circle around the pin at dis
tances from 200 yards down to 100.
But he couldn't get the puts down.
Why, I've seen Chick start out on a
round Of golf with four putters IN
his bag and use 'em all and finally
start putting with a midiron In de-
spair Of getting down those tantalizing
4-footers. Never has there been
golfer who was such consistently bad
putter Oh, sure. he had his days.
and when Chick was getting the ball
in the cup he was unbeatable.
"They tell us that Chick was short
hitter. Well, he was-when he wanted
to be. In the old days Chick used TO
take a spoon from the tee on drive
and iron holes, deliberately. He knew
that he would play his second shot
first and he wanted the mental effect
of planting an iron shot up there
around the pin. so his opponent would
have to shoot against fine shot al
ready up there. And Ill never forget
that semi-final round in the 1926
amateur championship at Baltusrol.
Chick was playing Bob Jones. Out
driven from the tee, as usual, Chick
was socking those iron shots so close
to the pin a baby could have gotten
a few of 'em down for brides.

Makes Fast Progress.

THAT Army-Navy Club is moving
ahead fast. Their new golf course
OF n holes will be completed and in
use by August of this year, they
anticipate, with some Of the new holes
north and west of the club house to
be watered. These holes we're laid out
last year by Herbert Strong, WELL
known course architect, and look like
very good golf material. They haven't
been played over yet and won't be
until next Summer, but you couldn't
f1nd any fault with the construction
work
abandoned when the new course
Is put in play, and Danny and
AL are to have a new golf shop,
to be located near the first tee,
which will be around the spot
where the old eighteenth green
used to be.
The new first hole will run south
and slightly east to the old tenth
green, and the new ninth will cut
across the old first fairway to q hill
top green located near the entrance
road to the club grounds. Ground for
the new golf shop will be broken early
in April and the present first tee and
fairway probably will be turned into
a practice driving range.
