TONY GALENTO.
 RETURNS TO RING
Jersey Beer Baron Takes on Harry Thomas at
 Philadelphia

Philadelphia, Nov. IA (UP) - Tony Galento, bellicose Jersey bar keeper, renews his campaign for the worlds heavyweight title tonight with 8 12-round battle against Har- ry Thomas of Minnesota.
 Promoter Herman Taylor hoped to toss the winner in, against Maxie Baer at Atlantic City, February 21 He said Baer had been offered $50,- 900 for such a match.
 Galento, the National Boxing as- sociations No. challenger to Joe Louis title, will weigh about 235 for tonight's bout. Thomas, kayoed by Louis and Max Schmeling in his two most notable fights, will scale about 198.
 The Jersey battler, who was floored by pneumonia while training for Light Heavyweight Champion John Henry Lewis last July, has car- ried his demands for a title match with Joe Louis to the N. B. A. Last week he posted with N. B. A. officials a $5,0O0 appearance guarantee for the match. And just to show he meant business he planked down $'5,000 more "to bet on Galento" if the title fight materializes.
 Such a fight hardly could be held before next summer since Louis has signed to risk his title against John Henry in January.
 Tonight's fight will be staged in Convention hall. Galento, notorious for his unorthodox beer-guzzling training methods, was favored to whip Thomas.

 A third period touchdown by Lou Rimassa gave St. Mary's its first victory oyer Santa Clara in three years, and it's supporters im- lnediately declared that Madigan's young team would be among the nations leaders in 1899.
 After a scoreless first half, the Geals unloosed a vicious driving att tacks, pounding to Santa Clara's two yard line before losing the ball on downs. Pelligrini's punt from be- hind his own goal line was run back by Hefferman to the Bronco's 34. Another aerial to Rimassa gained eight.
 f5efferman passed again, this time to Bettencourt, for first down on the eight. RimasSa lost two. Hef- ferman passed to Perrie for five. Perrie plunged four, then Rimassa smashed the remaining yard over right guard. Perrie converted and Madigan danced 8 jig in front of the St. Mary's player bench.
