years, and just now is running the

long.
'Don's trying to do too much"
McCluskey said. Saturday night. be-
sides running the 2-mile. he'll be in
the mile against Glenn Cunningham,
Archie San Romani and Gene Venzke.
He did the same thing in Boston last
week end. when he beat me in the
2-nile in 9:04.6 and ran last in the
mile.
McCluskey Runs "Just for Fun"

operation he had last year, that
sort Of a program is hurting him.
Sure, that Boston 2-mile was fast, the
second fastest ever run there But if
Don were running as well as last year.

by two or three seconds"
Joe's own running policy is to do
it for fun, and that's what he'll be out
for Saturday night.

Claims $4,000 Was Loan.

JUST got tired of being pushed
around by Mead. I'll spend $780,
900 if necessary and tie up every purse
Armstrong fights for in order to get
my share. I didn't say a word to
Mead when they were trying to get
started and needed the money, but
since he got back in the dough,
haven't heard word from him."
Mead countered that Jolson merely
loaned" him $4,000, that he had paid
$4,000 back, and that he was the sole
owner Of Armstrong. The remaining
$1,000, he added, is in the hands OF
Jolson's attorneys.
He also revealed that when Arm
strong's original purchase price Of
$4,000 was doubled. Screen Star George
Raft stepped in and loaned him the
remaining $4,000.

SACRAMENTO OPEN

= ACRAMENTO, Calf, Feb. A.
~ Most Of the country's leading
professionals were listed among
- the hundred or more golf mas
tiers who tramped the rain-soaked
municipal links today in the first
round of the 72-hole $4,000 Sacra-
mento open.
It's the fifth tournament on the an
nual winter swing for the touring pros
who will go from here to San Francisco
for the $4,000 national match play
tournament.
The play will be 1S holes today and
18 tomorrow. with the 60 low pros and
10 low amateurs remaining for Sum-
days 36-hole finals.
Course Is Lengthened.
THE 72-par course is nearly 1000
yards longer than the sequoyah
layout where the Oakland open was
held. With the turf soggy, there was
little likelihood any Of the shot
makers could approach the winning

Ed Dudley, who will not defend his

LEE HAS BACKERS
TO BEAT APOSTOL|
Victory for Coast Fighter
Would Further TangIe
MiddIeweight Class.
BY GAYLE TALBOT,
Press SportS WritAr

n yEW YORK, Feb. 4.-The mid
M dleweight situation. already
" complicated, has a chance to
4 get completely out Of control
tonight when Glen Lee, a tough little
mug from the Midwest. tackles Fred
Apostoli, the "uncrowned champ" in
12-rounder at the Garden.
It's reported, though not confirmed.
that Apostoli, who recently Dashed
out the champion. Freddie Steele. in
an overweight affair. has refused to
lay his share of the title" on the
line. That is, the San Francisco
thumper insists upon remaining the
"uncrovned champ" whatever hap
pens tonight.
Makes Strong Impression.
THOUGH 1t doesn't make much
sense, Apostoli's stand is fully as
logical as anything connected with
the middleweights lately II Lee wins,
as he stands good chance of doing,
then it's up to him to think up an
other title. He could call himself as
sistant champion to Steele, for in
stance, and he and Apostol could
take turns challenging the champion.
Lee is something Of newcomer
around here. but he made q powerful
impression in beating Walter Woods,
a local favorite, and knocking out
Harry Balsamo. Before his two starts
here he had gained fame farther West
as a welterweight. beating both Cefer-
ino Garcia and Izzy Jannazzo.
Likes to Swap Punches.
HE'S a busy little guy, a hard
puncher and untiring. Like Apos-
toll, he likes to stand up there and
punch it out, so it looks to be a good
scrap. The betting has been 3 to 1
on Apostoli, which is natural consid-
ering the fact he has stopped seven
OF his last eight opponents, including
the champion. But Lees followers
think he has big chance OF winning
and the short-enders have had q
phenomenal string Of victories in the
Garden lately.
The battle should prove, at least,
whether Apostoi really Is the terrific
fighter he appeared to be against
Steele. II he knocks out this tough
youngster Lee. or even licks him de-
cisively, the boxing fathers doubtless
will renew their pressure on Steele to
meet him in q title match. If Lee
wins. you can have the middleweight
situation.
