Todays Sports Parade

So did all the other Louis chal-
lengers. the latest being Tony
Galento. At the risk of being torn
apart by the protective" New York
policemen who guarded his dressing
room. I followed Galento into his
Yankee stadium retreat after he
had been knocked out in four
rounds by Louis.
Still out of his mind, and with
his face furrowed like a corn field
with nasty cuts, Galento mumbled
through horribly swollen lips that
Louis was a bum and couldn't hit
lick. AS physicians put enough
clamps on his wounds to hang out
the Monday wash of a family Of
five, Galento told them that Louis
never really hit him, but that he
just showed me around" Later,
wearing smart ice cap at rakish
angle and outfitted in the latest
pastel shades of gauze and tape,
Tony demanded a return match.
The next time I'll knock the
bum out. I just got careless. else
I would have beat hell out OF him
this time" he said.

Suds Back Within
HaIf.Gdme of
League Leadership
By UNITED PRESS

The Seattle folks must be squirm-
ing on the anxious seat, wondering
if their roaming Rainiers ever are
going to get back into first place
in the Pacific Coast league.
Well, the Suds are back within
half-game of the league-leadmg
Angels again as the result of a
passed ball. Grilk, Sacramento
catcher. let one get through his
legs in the 18th inning last night
and Dick Gyselman came gallop-
ing home with the run that gave
Seattle a 6 to victory over the
Solons.
The game was one of those nip
and-tuck affairs, each team scoring
two runs in the second and remain
ing tied at three-all until the 18th
inning. Each scored again in the
twelfth and thirteenth, and the
game was getting tighter than a
mustard plaster until Grilk lost
the ball
The Angels were whitewashed,
6 TO 0. by Bill Fleming and Holly
wood Fleming was mentioned first
because he permitted the Seraphs
only three hits-a stingy diet after
their past two free-hitting victories.
Portland landed on Joe Gonzales
in the third and fourth inning TO
score all their runs and emerge a
to winner over San Diego. Ad
Liska limited the Padres to four
hits.
Oakland finally caught the Seals
with wild ninth inning rally that
caused AL Wright of San Francisco
Manager Johnny Vergez and Coach
Bill Kenworthy of Oakland to be
bounced from the game. The score
was to 2.

Pre|ims Excel

Two hard-slugging preliminary
bouts stole the show Thursday mite
from the main event at the Ell Gen.
tro arena and overshadoWed Shorty
Hogue's exhibition" match that
ended with a knockout.
Carmen Georgina was credited
with the six round defeat in the
main event after the curley haired
Jacumha star flashed his flaWless
style and ended the scrap in the
third round.
The bout that won the crowds
heart was the third, that saw Bert
Birmingham throw more punches
than there are bulls in his home
town (Brawley) and win a decision
after four round of marvellous fight
ing. Bert defeated OzZie Carroll of
Los Angeles, who was downed twice
in the first round and once in the
second but drew on a reserve of
courage and lasted the limit against
the deadly Brawley puncher.
Rivaling the Birmingham-C Carroll
bout for fast, clean action was the
match between Felix Gomez and
Babe Antunna, both or Los Angeles,
which Antunna won after four can
tos of sparkling action and little
clinching.
Quick knockouts were scored in
two other bouts. Cleo Shans ad-
ministered a first round anasthesia
to Frankie Antunna in the second
bout of the evening and Ike Blair
did the same to Eddie Romero in
the fourth match.
The first match of the evening
was Henry Guerra VS. Tony Atkins
and Atkins won the decision in a
decidedly slow bout.
