ended abruptly on the seventeenth
green. Two up at the turn, Yoder
continued to hold his lead until
the fifteenth where he ditched his
tee shot and lost the hole to a
birdie.
The match was dormied at the
sixteenth when Yoder's par was
good enough to win the hole but
McCallum had another chance to
prolong the proceedings at the
seventeenth but three-putted from
eight feet to squelch what ever
hopes he had. Yoder's loose play
ing was probably the letdown of
his tough morning match against
Volney G. Burnett, a Kenwood
clubmate, who carried him to the
nineteenth hole before conceding
victory.
McCallum was also a 10Th hole

.SARRON STARTS
WORKOUTS FOR
.CEV|NSON BOUT
BY BOB Adds

Petey Sarron, like the kid who
sold magazines to work his way
through college, is ringing the
doorbells of the various fight clubs
in the country in an effort to
work his way through the light
weight class. The little Syrian
started training today for the bout
at Griffith Stadium, May 10, with
the Districts knockout specialist,
Lou Gevinson.
Sarron has pitched his camp in
Asheville, N. c., where Manager
Jimmy Erwin votes, and expects
to get in some Notwithstanding
before coming here next week to
affix his signature to the official
documents.
BAD OMEN
Right off the bat, we'd say this
is a bad omen-we mean this climb
ing business. But at that, the
experience may come in handy to
Petey on the nineteenth. Virtually
every man GevinSon has fought
has had to climb off the deck and
it appears Sarron is getter pre-
pared early. It's a long climb off
that canvas when you're knocked
Gown by GevinSon. Louis just
waits up there with those twin
destroyers ready to belt you out
again.
Sarron has cleaned UP most of
the opposition in the South since
he lost his featherWeight title to
Henry Armstrong and thinks he
has q good chance to annex the
lightweight championship. Petey
always has maintained he was
weakened by matchmaking when
he fought Hurricane Henry" and
that he Is stronger since stepping
up into the 135-pound division.
When Sarron gets here next
week, he will be faced with the
problem of getting adequate tram
ing fodder. Gevinson, in case you
came in late, is a Southpaw and
there aren't many boys around
who pitch from the left side. An
other thing, Lou is a Southpaw
who can hit with both hands ana
that will make Petey's training
chores more difficult. His spar
ring partners blows will seem like
a kiss from Cinderella compared
to the kind of wallops Gevinson
dishes out.
ENGAGES MANT1ET.
Sarron has tentatively engaged
Baby Manuel, Baltimore south.
paw, to help his workout. The
Syrian intends to complete his
training at Turner's Arena and
the Baltimore Baby should give
him enough exercise to keep
Petey's mind off Gevinson.
The latter, meanwhile, has
been training methodically and is
ready to step into the ring right
now. Manager Matt Twomey's
only worry is that Lou, may be
trained too finely and may lose
his edge before encountering Sar-
ron. GevinSon does on an average
of five miles a day roadwork and
if Mr.. Twomey doesn't mind the
suggestion, Lou might get a job as
an added starter in the SeabiScuit-
War Admiral race if he loses to
Sarron.
In addition to his track road,
Gevinson boxes five or six rounds
IA day and then winds it up with an
hour or so of calisthenics. Then
you have to add to that the regu-
lar eight hours a day Lou spends
at his job. Yet, in spite Of all that
work, Gevinson seems to have a
corner on the energy market. He
rattles off his five miles per like
the midnight limited going through
the cornfields. Maybe he trains
