JOEY ARCHIBALD.
IS 3 TO | CHOICE
0 OvER SC|BELL||

Despite a potent left hook that
snaps like the kick Of q cannon,
Johnny Scibeln, Massachusetts,
bantamweight, will be q Is
underdog when he enters the ring
tonight for his 10-round joust with
Joey Archibald at Turner's Arena.
The lantern-jawed little French
italian from the State Of broad
AS and flat beans has all the
equipment necessary to derail
Archibald, who is speeding along
the fiStic trail for o shot at Ban
tamweight Champion Sixto ESco-
bar.
The ScibelN fight will undoubt-
edly be Archie's last until, and If,
he gets that invitation to visit the
sacred portals Of the throne room,
but, somehow, there is an aura Of
uncertainty about this scrap. The
memory Of that other 81 shot,
George Abrams, who was flat
tened by Jimmy Jones, is still too
fresh in the minds Of the two
buck plungerS and they're won
dering If another star will fall
tonight. ..
HE CAN HIT
Scibeln proved he had q real
punch by flooring AL Dintaman,
local bantam, in a sharp workout
Saturday. The punch was the
acme Of technique. Johnny tented
AL out Of position with a left,
weaved, faxed right, then caught
Dintaman on the chin. The local
kid went down and was as wobbly
as a rowboat.
OF course, Archibald has q
sitter chin, but he can be hit,
as Johnny MirabelN, who floored
the Patent Leather Kid twice q
few weeks ago, proved: Scihelli,
however, seems to be wide open for
a left hand and Archie can belt
pretty well with that weapon. Both
boys are hoekers-they disdain
that jabbing business and get in
there. dig in, and start pitching.
It shouldn't be a bad fight since
joey is one of the hardest
punchers Of his weight.
The Massachusetts, kid comes
well recommended. He fought

TAMPA, Fla, March 28.-When
Jimmy Dykes, the ''little round
man." Of the Chicago White Sox.
telephoned President Clark C.
Griffith reviving the Zeke Bonura
for Joe Kuhle trade. he doomed
Jimmy WaSdelI to a year on the
bench, or q year in the minor
leagues.
In fact, Dykes may have ruined
a budding career, for WasdeI was
q set cinch 70 beat out Joe Kuhel
for the first base job. Now Was
dell may have to shift to the out
field, at best e dubious venture, or
seek his fortune elsewhere in the
event that Griff would sell or re-
lease him. Small chance Of that.
Bucky HEris admitted today
that he had fully determined to
play Wasdeyl on first base this
season in the event that tbs Sox
decided to keep Bonura. So
Kuhel got . great break while
WaSdeE came by q crushing blow.
How are you going to get
