BY LESLIE PAWSON

Pawtucket, R. l., April l8-(UP)- I expect to repeat my last years victory in the Boston A. A. Mara thon tomorrow and thus become the second man in the history of the classics to win the grind three times,
 Johnny Kelley is my choice to finish second with Gerard Cote, the Canadian, third. I've left Pat Den- gis out of the first three only be- cause he has had an operation and probably will not be in the best of shape. Other good men, who have chance of winning, include Tar gan Brown, Walter Young, Dune McCullum and Paul Donate.
 For my training I have run three times a week over distances varying from four to 20 miles. I have run the full marathon distance once.
 I set the present B. A. A. course record when won the first time in 1853. hold the following champ ionships: National 30 kilometers New England six-mile outdoor, and New England three-mile indoor.

Henry Davis of New Britain and Nick Sato of Springfield, feather wdeights, are paired while Sammy Craig and Bulldog Malino of Stam- ford are also to go three rounds or less.

Heralded as the worlds cham oionship basketball club. the Origi- nal Renaissance five was precisely that as it treated close to 1000 paying customers to an eye-filling exhibition of clever passing and shooting last evening at the Phoenix avenue armory, defeating the Wa terbury Brasscos handily, A to g.
 At times it was almost utterly im- possible to follow the ball, so adeptly was it handled. The score was no indication of the superiority of the elongated colored stars who won the national tournament at Chicago last month.
 Locals Praise Rens
 The BrasScos, who proved itself rugged and hard working array by knocking of the Long Island uni- versity Blackbirds here last week, walked off the floor willing to broadcast to all and sundry that it had met team it was no match for which is most unusual.
 The Renaissance were stars, every one of them, and particularly Zack Clayton, veteran of 17 years experi- ence who proved a burlesque show in himself. The Rens were as fast and deceptive as ever, using but six of their eight men. Then there was Wee Willie" Smith and "TarZan'' Cooper, two of the tallest cagesters to show here in years, who were a tower of strength. They balmed the ball like a kid handles an agate.

 For their victory in the national pro tourney in Chicago the Rens received 5000. The tourney was a huge success. attracting 15OO0 peo- pie at $50 for the final game against the Oskosh All-Stars, the 1938-39 edition of Marquette univer- sity.
 Someting Unusual
 Last evenings exhibition here was something local cport writers have never seen here before. Ordinarily you can't imagine Brass City cus- toners getting excited over basket ball in mid-April, but the Rens had 'em in an uproar for 40 min- utes. Fat Jenkins, always a popu- lar figure here, was in uniform, but failed to get into the lineup due to sore throat.
 The Brasscos will officially wind up their season on the same court next Monday night when they take on the Pittsburg Crawfords, an- other colored combine. The Craw- lords are just finishing tour of Canada. They are rated the shoot ing circus of basketball.

KODAK SLIGHT CHOICE TO KEEP
 FEATHER TITLE
Archibald Makes Bid Toe night at Providence;
 CeIebs Attend
BY TOM NOONAN United Press Staff Correspondent)

Providence, R. l., April 18. - (UP) - A onetime printers devil and an erstwhile pre-medical honor student, ring veterans at 9, clash tonight to settle claims to the world featerweight championship in a 15- round bout at Rhode Islan1 Audi toriunl.
 Leo Kodak of Chicago, the Ma tional Boxing Associations 126- pound champion, was a slender 6-5 favorite with the gambling frater- nity to whip Joey Archibald of Pawtucket, recognized as feather weight king by the New York State Boxing Commission, and to gain undisputed possession of the throne vacated by hammering Henry Arm~ strong. A last minute flood of Archibald support was expected to make him even money by ring time.
 A capacity crowd of 5000, needled by the prospect of Rhode Islands first title bout, was expected to pay between $3O,000 and $35,000 to see the contest.
 Kodak, who was two pounds over weight, went through brief work out yesterday to come in under the 126-pound limit. Archibald con- fined himself to loosening up exer- cises.
 Former heavyweight champion, Gene Tunney, headed a list of in- vited celebrities which included N. B. A. President Charles F. Rey- holds; Joe Triner, chairman of the Illinois Boxing Commission; Abe Green. New Jersey commissioner and former N. B. A. President Thomas E. Donahue. of Connecticut
 Funny Stuff
 In his training, the dark-haired Archibald, who is of English-Irish descent, stressed leaping, unorthodox shots which Trainer Charlie Gold man called "airplane" punches.

 Kodak. more boxer than fighter punches crisply with either hanc but has shown scant evidence that he possesses knockout blow in some l63 fights as an amateur and a professional. Nevertheless, his manager, Nate Lewis, a veteran of 39 years in the fight game, said he had prepared his man for quick knockout win.
 Archibald, whose interest in box ing was spurred by the ring activ- ities 0 fan older brother, reached the top in 1888 when he defeated Mike Belloise of New York in the final 10-round bout of an elimination tourney sanctioned by the N. B. A to pick Armstrong's heir. Later he repeated the triumph over the 15- round route when the New York commission refused recognition be- cause of the shorter bout.

Today;s Sport
 Parade
By HENRY McLEMORE

Flew York, April l8-OUP)-Sev- eral decades ago Phineas T. Bar nun sat himself down with tablet and pencil and figured out that there was a sucker born every min ute.
 Last night, in Wrigley Field at Los Angeles, he was proved to be one of the worlds worst mathema- ticians when thousands of persons paid serious money to see the joke fight between Joe Louis and Jack Roper.
 Every man. woman and child there was a sucker. They didn't lay their money on the line for tickets blindly. They had been warned in every newspaper, weekly and daily, for months. that Roper didn't have a chance, that he has veteran who had been no good in his prime, and that he didn't belong in the same state. much less the same ring, with the heavyweight champion of the world.
 The events of the night proved the critics correct. The echo of the opening bell still was ringing through the park when Joe popped Roper on the profile and sent him down for keeps. The time was minutes and 20 seconds of the first round and the only reason it last ed as long as that was because Roper, staggering from the first punch the champion landed, was an elusive target.
 Listening to the fight over the radio I heard Louis, after the knockout. announce to the world that he was lucky. He never spoke truer words. He is the luckiest heavyweight champion who ever lived, and for this reason. There isn't man living who can give him even decent workout, and all he has to do to buy another annuity is slip off his bathrobe, suffie out and throw a punch or two. He pick ed mp another chunk of money last night, and early in June will pick another fistful by hitting Tony Galento in his beer-ridden stomach Galento is another Roper, but the public won't believe it. There will be upwards of a million dollars ir the strong box when Galento struts in for the slaughter. Tony will be lucky to last two minutes.
 Before the fight" started last night an. announcer said that Mrs Roper, who was in the crowd, had told him that she could always predict the result of her husbands fights after the first round was completed.
 Let me see one round," she was quoted. land I can always tell how Jack is going to do"
 Unfortunately, for Mrs. Roper: prophetic talent, there wasn't any round after the first. This was remindful of the time Mercer Beas. ley, 6 tennis master mind, accom- panied the American Davis cur team. to England. when the boys went out to engage the British al Wimbledon, Beasley sat in the stands and took 10000 notes, which he planned to use during the inter mission. But he never got to use them. The British knocked of our boys in straight sets, and Beasley was left with more useless infor- nation than circus pony could jump over in three tries.

GREAT FIELD OF RUNNERS START LONG MARATHON
New Record May Be Set at Boston Tomorrow; Win=
 ner to 1940 OIympics
BY JAMES MAHONY United Press Staff COrrespOndent

Boston, April 18-(UP)-Ancient marathoners and speedy striplings eagerly awaited today the 43d an- nual running of the Boston A. A. marathon and a chance to be a sportspage king for a day.
 When the starters gun barks promptly at 12 noon tomorrow, a star-studded field of 204 will be off on a tortuous trek of 26 miles, 385 yards over hill and dale with berth on the 1940 olympic team, traditional Greek laurel wreath and two medals awaiting the victor.
 Four former winners and two con- tenders were expected to wage dogfight battle for the coveted honor, perhaps with new course record as the result.
 Popular
 Popular choice was Leslie Pawson of Pawtucket, R. l., two-time winner and course record holder. The 34- year-old park foreman and onetime Weaver, who was third under wraps" in the 20-mile North Med- ford dress rehearsal race, set the record of 2 hours. 31 minutes and 3-5 secodns in 1883. If he can re- peat his 1888 victory. he will become the second man in the history of the classic to be triple titlist. l Though 1t was predicted freely that the record would be shattered, it is significant that nobody has been within a minute of Pawson $ mark since 1883. Nevertheless the possibility exists.
 A decade ago. Johnny Miles, a fleet Nova Scotian, sped over the course in 2:26:10. The amazing re- cord was not allowed, however, be- cause the distance was 176 yards short.
 The coupled Canadian entry of Walter Young. Verdun, Que. con- stable, and Gerard Cote. a snowshoe champion from St. Hyacinthe, Que, offer the principal foreign" threat Young is attempting to duplicate his 1887 winning performance after years absence. Cote was installed an early favorite after finishing first in the North Medford race. To- gether with teammate Lloyd Evans they were picked to annex the team prize for the Marathon A. c. of Montreal.
 Front Runner
 Ellison (TarZan) Brown, 24-year- old Narragansett Indian from Alton R. l., who won in 1886 but trailed the field the past two years after a hernia operation, showed plenty of speed and stamina in taking the re- cent Syracuse, N .Y.. abbreviated marathon. Brown, a front runner. probably will set the early pace and may have enough to hold off the pack.
