CHICAGO, Sept 18.-The ma
tional amateur golf title match
all but shattered the faith OF Ray
Billows, 25-year-old Poughkeepsie,
N. Y, golfer. in good luck charms.
BilloWs had what he thought was
a good luck charm when he met
Marvin (Bud Ward, 26, of Spo-
kane, Wash, in Saturdays cham
pionship battle, but it didn't help
him much.
Ward won the match and the title,

liant play over the 7,022-yard North
Shore Country Club course.
Returns Charm to Yates.
So after the match Billows re-
turned to Charley Yates Of Atlanta,
Ga, the white linen cap he had
worn as a charm. 1t was the same
cap that Yates wore when he won
the British amateur title in 1888.
But it didn't seem to work for either
of them here at North Shore.
Yates lost to Edwin Kingsley of
Salt Lake City in the second round.
Kingsley later fell before Ward, one
of six victims of the long knocking
Westerner, who seemed to play best
when the going was tough.
Back to the Milestone.
It was Billows' second trip
through the tournament to the title
round. Two years ago the young
printing and lithographing sales
man fell in the finals before Johnny
Goodman of Omaha, who also elimi-
mated Ward in that tournament.
Both of these young fellows, who
play golf for fun, planned to get
back to work right away. Ward
flew back to the Pacific Coast and
Billows went to Racine, Wis, his
former home, to visit relatives until
Wednesday when he viii return TO
Poughkeepsie.

The
SPORTLIGHT
Pastor Figured Tough
Opponent for Louis
BY GRANTLAND RICE,
Special Correspondent of The Star.

DETROIT, Sept. 18 (NAN.A)-
If Bob Pastor runs from Joe Louis
again on Wednesday night, Joe
can't say he wasn't warned, because
that's what everybody expects Pastor
to do. AS a matter of fact, Joe
couldn't say he wasn't warned the
first time, although, Judging by the
manner in which he reacted to
Bobs fitting and lodgings, he was
amazed ompletely-taken sorely by
surprise Yet. if Joe didn't know
what Bob was going to do, he was
almost alone in his ignorance.
Louis and Pastor were pawns in
a bigger fight that night-a fight
for prestige in New York between
Mike Jacobs and Jimmy Johnston,
with Jacobs back of Louis and. of
course, Johnston manipulating Pas
tor. Johnstons idea was not only
to beat Jacobs-through Louis-but
to anger and humiliate him, and he
succeeded to some extent. The boo
ing crowd in the Garden made fun
of Louis and scoffed at Jacobs. and
the fact that Louis got the decision
was a source of small satisfaction
to Jacobs. After the fight, he vowed
that Johnston never again would
profit by a match of his making
that Jimmy and Pastor were out
forever, so far as he was concerned.

Boxing Skill Makes
La Sale Favorite
Over Mamakos
Plugging CopitoI Greek
Outroted by Tonieht's
Foe on Records

Steve Mamakos' bid for higher
rating in the welterweight division
is expected to fall a trifle short
of the mark tonight when the ath-
letic Athenian shuffles out to meet
Kenny La Sale in 10-round bout
at Griffith Stadium. The match
features a Well-balanced program
that will introduce a few new faces
to District ring fans.
On the same card is Mamakos'
stablemate and newcomer to the
147-pOund class, Lou Gevinson, a
southpaw, who is stepping up into
the heavier class after disastrous
fling in the lightweight division.
Gevinson tackles Nat Kadin, q
Canadian of mediocre ability, in a
10-round semifinal, and Is expected
to dust of the visitor without too
much difficulty.
Fine Record Backs La Sale.
Boosting an impressive record Of
1856 victories in 148 fights, studded
with some 8O-odd knockouts, La
Sale is regarded along Rue de la
Caulif1oWer as just little too much
for Mamakos. who is a trifle short
on boxing skill. For sheer durabil-
ity, the Greek boy can 60 with
the best of them, but La Sale also
boasts a sizeable reputation as q
skilled ring general. and this is ex-
pected to be Steve's downfall.
La Sales record shows victories
over Glen Lee-when that worthy
was a welter; Steve Haliko, Fritzie
Zivic and few other top-notchers,
which is evidence of his ability. He
whipped them when they had some
thing on the ball, not after they
were washed up and getting by on
their reputation. Kenny. as you may
gather, is no youngster himself, but
has enough left on the old frame
to earn recognition as the fifth best
man in his division today.
Odds Against Mamakos.
1t is this No 5 berth that Mama
kos is cunning for. Rated ninth
a loss of several notches, Steve can
replace La Sale if he gets over the
Houston hustler tonight. He is, as
usual, in Al condition for the test
and anxious to improve his fistic
/ fortunes with a decisive victory, but
| the odds are 6-5 against him.
/ Other bouts include siX-rounder
between Al Gilbert and Danny Muir
! ply, and four FOUNDERS involving
Bobby Seigel and Lou Silverberg and
Joe Lipps and Wild Man Marino
The first bout is scheduled for 8:3C
o'clock.

Those who do not like Pastors
chance at all point to many fights
Bob has made with second and third
rate opponents. They point out that
he barely scraped through to beat
the ring-torn Freddy Fiducia, had
to get up from five knockdowns to
get draw with Eddie Simms-who
was a one-round knockout victim OF
louisiana actually was beaten by
Gus Dorazio, who scarcely has
beaten anybody since and has been
beaten by preliminary fighters in
New York.
This is all true and yet-although
I'm still stringing with Louis-I do
not rate Pastor off these fights. I
know he can fight better than he did
on those occasions, when there was
nothing at stake and he had no in
centive to fight. I believe he is fast,
game, strong and pretty good
puncher and that he honestly be-
ueves he can beat Louis.
This is a do-or-die shot for him
and he knows it-knows that, if he
blows this chance against Louis, he
never will get another one. His
other qualities, plus an eagerness to
win amounting almost to despera-
ton. make him a worthy opponent
for Louis.
AS 1 say I expect Louis to win,
but. on style and past performances.
I do not look for an easy victory for
the champion.

20-Round Route Too Long
For Joe, Soy Tocticions

Ring tacticians agree that Louis
managers made a mistake in con-
senting to a 20-round fight, because
Joe isn't gated for the route, they
say, and Pastor is. That may be
true. Joe's underpinning is the
weakest part of his fighting equip
ment. He isn't fast on his feet,
sometimes gets them crossed and
has been knocked down couple of
times in major engagements-once
by Braddock and again by Galento-
because he was off balance. Nobody
knows yet whether, if necessary, he
can go 20 rounds and finish strong.
The only time has has gone as many
as IS rounds was against Tommy
Farr and he was a tired young man
that night.
Moreover, the Farr fight was cas-
Ter on his legs than this fight with
Pastor is likely to be. He didn't
have to chase Tommy. Tommy
moved right into him at the first
bell and kept moving in that direc-
ton all through the fight, and all
Joe had to do was to shuttle around
while he belted Tommy with both
hands.
The few who are picking Pastor
to win base their predictions on the
chance that Louis cannot maintain
a pursuit for Is rounds or so with
out firing badly, thus laying him.

Bob Fights Way Into Spot
Thot Forces RECOGNITION

However, the scenes and the cir
cumstances change swiftly in box
ing. Friends part. enemies make up
their quarrels, and sometimes it
is difficult to tell who are friends
and who are enemies-especlally
when there is a lot of money in
volved.
Louis went on, after that first
Pastor fight, to win the heavyweight
championship and then went swing
ing down the line of his challengers,
knocking them off. Pastor, cam
paigning around the country, fought
himself into a spot where Louis had
to listen to his demands for match.
This time Pastor can run again
but only for so long. In their first
fight he gained his objective by
bobbing and scooting through 10
rounds-he lasted the limit and
made Louis appear very futile. But
this time the title is on the line
and Bob can't win it by conducting
a strictly defensive fight. He prob
ably plans to make Louis chase him
for a while and then, when Joe
begins to tire, to stop feeling and
dart in on him, swinging for the
chin
This should be better fight than
the first one. 1t poses two ques-
tions as the men come to the end
of their training and look to the
ring: How long can Pastor elude the
champion-and what chance will he
have with him when the skirmish-
ing is over and they finally start
swapping blows at close range?

"Void and Fraudu-
lent" in Complaint
Filed

A group of heirs of the late c. P.
Robertson have filed suits in Vance
Superior Court to nullify the will, it
was learned today at the office OF
F.. O. Falkner, clerk of superior
court. Mr.. Robertson died last De-
cember Is, and in his will, dated
May 6, 1888, named George T:
Robertson as executor and chief
beneficiary of the estate, said in one
of the complaints to be worth about
100000.
MIR. Robertson lived on the Hen
derson- EPSON highway, and was the
owner of large farms in that section.
One of the complaints alleged he left
some $4,000 in cash in local banks,
together with quantities of negotiable
securities and farms.
One of the complaints, entered by
Ida Robertson Falkner, alleges the
will that was admitted to probate
was not genuine, and that it is void
and fraudulent. 1t claimed George
It. Robertson had taken charge OF the
assets of the estate. This plaintiff is
represented by Henry T. Powell,
Gholson & Gholson and w. H. Var
borough as attorneys.
Another complaint filed by a large
number of reputed heirs alleges that
the will probated is not the last will
and testament of the deceased, and
that c. P. Robertson's signature was
obtained by the said George T.
Robertson by undue and improper
influence and duress." 1t further al
leges that the deceased, for many
months prior to his death, was suf-
ferer from cancer and for long
time prior to the signing of the will
did not have his normal mental
faculties" and while he was in that
condition George T. Robertson, "by
improper influence, trickery and
duress", caused c. P Robertson to
sign the will.
The plaintiffs are represented by

neys. In this grouping as plaintiffs
