BY HENRY McLEMORE

ASHEVILLE, N. c., April 7. (UP)
At Ills today Lawson Little will
be arrested on the Asheville coun-
try club golf course and charged
with assault and battery. He will
be brought before a judge and i'm
mediately acquitted when he ex-
plains his provocation.
He will tell the judge that he
stepped on the first tee hoping to
win the $4,000 Asheville open golf
tournament and found himself pair
ed with Henry McLemore, sports
writer, and Frank willard, cartoon
ist who draws Moon Mullins.
What's wrong with that? the
Judge will ask. and Little. bracing
himself against a nearby bailiff,
and brushing aside his attorney will
plead his own case.
Your Honor" Little will begin,
"in the first place, it never was
their honor. Neither one of them
ever had better than an eight on
any hole, yet they spent most of
their time cOngratulating one an
other on lovely shots. Another
thing, they were very hard TO keep
track of. McLemore always slices
and Willard always hooks, and it
was a nerve -wracking thing to walk
down the fairWay and realize that
I might get a skull fracture at any
moment, and from either side"
At this time the judge, being both
a Slicer and a hooker will froWn
a little. Sensing that he has lost
the sympathy of another duffer,
Lawson will change his tactics and
get personal.
Can you imagine, Judge, trying
to line up putt for birdie while
one of your playing partners is
asking the other one what Lord
Plushbottom is going to do the next
day? Or how Emmy and Kayo and
Kitty Higgins are getting along?
And Judge. can you imagine play
ing in a threesome where two of
the members scream with laughter
when one or the other of them

Bench Warming

Post Press Sports Editor

undoubtedly will be held in Yankee
stadium on June %
Already all the crusaders without
causes in sports and out have start
cd attacking the Louis-Galento
fight Most of them have done
this because it gave them a quick
argument = one which permitted
them TO stand forth as holier-than-
thou guys protecting the citizens
from a mis-match.
Mike Jacobs matched Galento and
Louis for late June because he
figured the meeting would draw at
least S500,000. And he knew that
there was no one else whom Louis
could fight outdoors. Some writer's
comment on Promoter Jacobs rea-
soning is this: Maybe he was wrong.
Maybe the fight will draw between
S775.0OO and a million. Don't for
get the worlds fair.
II Ia luitt easy 10 lOliUN lllc llllt
Of least resistance and shout that
Galento has no chance with Louis
that two-ton Tony will be knock
ed out by the first punch that the
Brown Bomber tnrows-that Galen-
to may be killed if Louis tosses a
couple of hard ones into his bulging
midriff
Maybe the yammering guys are
right. Maybe this match never
should have been made. Maybe it's
bad for boxing. But there'll be
100000 fight fans on hand for the
engagement. Because they realize
that anything can happen - and
probably will when beer-guzzling
Galento tangles with Brown Bonn
Der Louis.
Galento will use back-alley rules
against Louis. And Louis doesn't
like rules of the street because two
men Taste dthe distance against him
primarily because of their unortho-
COX tactics

Wrestling season was officially
closed in Imperial Valley Thursday
night when scheduled bouts at the
CsleSieo athletic club were called
off because Jimmy Londos refused
TO appear for a scheduled showing
A telegram TO the Post Press Of
fered an injury to Londos as reason
for his failure to appear on the
valley card but their was no indi-
cation of an injury in coast paper
accounts of his Wednesday night
title defense.
Thursday nights poStponement
was the second for Londos this year
and it acted as a death blow to
wrestling in the Imperial Valley.
The grunt and groan artists were
none too popular in the valley be-
fore the postponement and it is
logical to assume that Thursday
nights episode will not improve
their standing in the county.
Despite the fact that all valley
RoPNAo NoAA'NA AiObNtS VI lIlt III
jury TO Londos more than 1900
persons were on hand to attend
Thursday nights bouts, according
to Harry Woodbury., state commits
sion inspector
You can disappont 1900 pesons
only once because they won't give
you second chance. So they bid
Pete BuzukoS and his wrestling CO.
horts a farewell, perhaps forever,
on Thursday night.
Signor GaIento
Don't take Tony Galento too
lightly. Remember that he weighs
235 pounds. Also Signor Galento
possesses a very tough noggin, CAL
loused elbows and fast-rising knees.
He's back-alley fighter whose only
limitation is that of a pier six:

mention this in connection with

American pennant this season.
For three straight years Joe NC
Carthy's Yanks have walked away
with the American circuit flag, TO
say nothing of the World Series.
Now they are trying for their
fourth consecutive bunting. Only
one club ever won four straight
pennants since the beginning of
major league history in 1876. John
McGraw's New York Giants knock
ed off four National division stand
ards in a row from 1921 through
1924.
Another reason why I believe the
YankS have reached the end q
the winning trail is that Lou GehV
rig, their Iron horse" first base
man, is virtually certain to fade
out this season. And the passing
of Gehrig, psychologically, will be
as much a blow to the Yanks as
if Manager Joe Mccarthy were
taken away from them.
I pick the Red Sox because they
have the best spirit of any outfit
in the circuit this season. They're
out to win. And they've got the
team with which to do it, The
BoSoX, who finished second last
year, are young, hustling outfit,
Manager Joe Cronin is gambling
on Jim Tabor at third, and Rookie
Ted Williams in the outfield. But
those are good CANDLES, virtuaE'
certain to come through. WooN
Rich will round out their pitching
staff, and Jim Bagby should have
fine year. Their pitching will
be sufficient, even if ancient Lefty
Grove fades out.
