Roberts Seeks Knockout Over Bomber
to
Tackle LA.
NJ a u | e r

Lefty Kent Roberts, Los
Angeles middleweight whose
punching power and fault
less footwork has struck ter
ror into every welterweight
and middleweight on the coast,
will attempt to stretch his sensa-
tional knockout string Thursday
night in the Ei Centre arena against
Herman "Bombah" Graves.
Graves holds a decision over
only one L. A. middleweight which
Roberts can claim as one of his
fictims. Rip Slade. But the reason
that Roberts has lsot defeated
Slade is that the southern Califor-
MIA champion will not climb into
the same ring with the left handed
marauder.

Post-Press Sports Editor

Jimmy Casino who has a perfect
record in the BraWley ring and who
is clamoring for a bout with Graves
wants no part of the merciless
Roberts.
Tuesday night in Brawley he was
asked what he thought his chances
would be against Roberts.
Casion replied before the inquisi-
tor could catch his breath, Why l
wouldn't even get in the same ring
with that Roberts guy" I've seen
him cut opponents to ribbons. Slade,
Case, and a dozen of the other out
standing middleweights around L.
A. won't fight him. He's head and
shoulders above any of them"

PADRES REGAIN
co AST LE AD
WITH VICTORY

The San Diego Padres regained
first place in Pacific coast league
baseball standings Tuesday with
10-inning to 5 win over Seattle's
Indians.
Sacramento's heretofore leading
Sacs dropped fraction behind the
Padres by losing a 4-2 verdict to
Los Angeles.
With league leadership within
their grasp the Padres rolled up
total of IL hits to drive four Ind
ian moundsmen to the showers. The
San Deigans came from behind
with two in the ninth to tie the
count, then went on TO clinch vic
tory with one in the tenth.
The fourth-place Portland Bea-
vers chalked up their twentieth win
in twenty-threc starts with 80
decision over the Missions.
The San Francisco Seals drowned
Oakland'S Oaks, 81, scoring all

Bulge under lock and key, en-
shrouded in the foulds of amateur
ism.
Without the triple Wimbledon
winner and the hero of the Amer7l
lean cup forces, the U. S. team
would be just another sqhad of
tennis players which could not hope
to stave off the challengers next
year.
If Bulge already hasn't been be-
seiged with offers to turn profess
sional, he may be assured that
the promoters will be waiting or
him with a contract for $4,000 or
more the minute the Manhattan
docks in New York next week.
Some felt it ironical that Fran
kie Parker should win the deriding
match of the long American quest
to regain the trophy donated by
Dwight Davis 81 years ago, but
that should not take any of the
glory away from the tall Califor-
nian who shouldered the burden
of the U. S. attack against Aus
tralia in the north American zone
finals, Germany in the interzone
finals, and England in the chal-
lenge round.
The American forces could have
been composed of Bulge and Gene
Mako and Jared as well, because
besides winning two singles match
es in each elimination, Bulge pair
ed with his fellow Californian to
triumph in all of their doubles
encounters.

sharply in German. Instantly door
opened in the whales back and g
man appeared Tommy lunged al
him with dubbed rifle. The man went
down without sound Another
thrust his head from the door. Tommy
swung hard The blow must have
cracked the fellows skull.
He grabbed the mans shoulders and
dragged him one side. He expected
another victim, but none came, so he
cautiously poked his head inside the
door of the whale, jabbed the black
ness with his bayonet. then closed the
door. Guardedly he lighted match
extinguishing it at once. A low whistle
escaped his lips. So that was the
answer!
THE whale was hole in the ground
with sloping metal roof. From
the outside it was almost impossible
to see until you were on top of it
Inside there was a gun big enough
to blow a tank to bits. There was
also a machine gun, trained through
Sits in the whales side. Behind, an
underground tunnel led, ostensibly
back to the enemy lines.
Tommy stared toward the tunnel
and stopped. Some one was coming
along it, and he didn't wait to find
out who. He got out of there in 8

he did some mighty fine stomach wig

LOUISIANA WINS TAX

BATON ROUGE, La, Nov. 4 Dr.
The State won one suit against the
Standard Oil Co. of Louisiana for back
taxes of $l42,9l5.02 yesterday and
pressed another one for s75O,000.
The Louisiana Supreme Court ruled
the s142,915.02 must be paid because
the company illegally deducted 2 per
cent OF the gross oil handled by it from
August 1, 1928, to December 81, 1886,
in computing its severance taxes.
In the other suit, the State charges
S750,OO0 is due because the company
wrongfully deducted per cent of gaso-
line taxes it collected for loss by evap-
Grafton and wastage in the past eight
years.
