py lD6 hSSOCldteu FIeaS.
NEW YORK, March 1.-THE
growing business of professional
tennis is being stunted by j. Don
aid Bulge, the red-headed monop-
olist who is almost unbelievably
good.
Donald put the crusher on the
second opponent of his professional
career last night. He whipped Fred
Perry of Great Britain, at one time
the worlds No. l amateur, so de-
cisively that the Jack Harris Troupe
of which they are the stars will need
Gargantua and a hula dancer the
rest of the trip if it is to earn eat
ing money.
Don Master All Way.
From the moment Bulge padded
his first service over the net in the
first game until Perry double-faulted
% games later, Bulge was the mas
ter, in command all the way. The
scores. 81, 6-3, 60, hardly indi-
cate the margin of his mastery.
Madison Square Garden seemed
hollow and practically unpopulated.
Only about 1000 fans, who paid
$4,000, were on hand.
Perry said when it was all over,
IT was always scrambling. I never
could get my head above water. He
forced me as I seldom have been
forced. and even when was set I
couldn't handle most of his shots.
Improved since last played him?
He's so per cent better
Bulge Is Modest.
Bulge, as is his wont, was mod
est. "I can't think of any reason
why Fred didn't play a better game.
I'd like to believe it was because
of me-"
He called that one. 1t was because
of him. Unless Perry improves IN
Boston tonight and keeps it up over
the rest of their IS matches, the
pro game is as dead as a door nail.
Budge has licked first Ellsworth
Vines, then Perry. The fourth Of
the worlds top players, Baron Gott-
fried Won Cramm, is an amateur
So there are no worlds left for Bulge
to conquer.

NEW YORK, March 1.-THE 12-

Jackie Kid Berg appeared at an end
today, the veteran British welter-
weights comeback efforts being
squelched effectively and convinc-
ingly here last night by hard hitting
Pedro Montanez, who scored a fifth
round knockout.
Berg never had a chance against
the Puerto Rican, boxing neatly at
times but yielding ground to Pedro's
vicious left hooks. Montanez fired
a right to Berg's chin early in the
fifth round to floor him for a count
of 9. When Berg arose he was
helpless and Referee frankie Fullam
stopped the scrap after 46 seconds
of the round had elapsed
Montanez shook Berg with solid
right to the jaw In the first round
and staggered him again in the
second with a stiff left hook to the
head. Berg then moved into close
quarters, but Pedro opened him up
and paved the way to the climaxing

Windy City's Chance

Scrap Is Slim
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, March 11.-Chicapo
put in its bid today for the Joe
Louis-Tony Galento punch party in
June, but after looking over the field,
1t appears more certain than ever
the fight won't get any farther away
from Times Square than 161st street
and River avenue
That address is the home of base
balls world champions, the New
York Yankees. The stadium is large
enough for boxing extravaganzas,
even one so weighty as to involve
TWo-ton Tony.
New York States unpredictable
three-man Boxing Commission will
tell Promoter Mike Jacobs next
Tuesday whether he can hold the
fight here.
Commissioners Unenthused.
The commissioners, Bill Brown In
particular, haven't been any too keen
about the Newark nightstick, but the
thought of kicking out possible
million-dol gate can make a lot
of difference.
Uncle Mike" has two very good
reasons for holding this fight fiesta

RENE"
This bout" he says, should come
awful close to hitting the Million
dollar mark in the Yankee Stadium
or Philadelphia. But 1 do business
IN New York year. after year, so I
have to satisfy the local fans first"
Commissioner Brown once tray-
eled IS miles to see Galento in a
training camp, but when he arrived
Tony wasn't around. He remembers
that useless trip and already has
gone on record as saying he's never
given his blessing to the scrap.
Wear Okays Fight.
A second commissioner, D. Walker

fence. He contended today that as
long as the fight will take place
somewhere, lit might as we'll be in
New York"
This leaves it up to Gen. John j.
Phelan, the chairman, and the gen.
eral isn't talking yet.
The talk is that the commission
can't laugh off one million potatoes.
But Chicago, Philadelphia and
others interested in seeing the 20
still have an outside chance.
That's why Uncle Mike notified
Joe Foley of Chicago to hold off
his decision on the Windy City's
offer until Tuesday. Foley co-pro-
NOTED the Louis-Jim Braddock af-

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 11.-A better
pair of legs than Miss Americas
will bring Glenn Cunningham into
Madison Square Garden tonight for
the last time this season. Before
they take him out again those GAL
loping gambs should have carted
the master miller to an epic track
double"
The tag end of the campaign finds
the 29-year-old Kansan going for
extra-curricular activities. He's
won so many miles and won them
the same way so often that track
promoters are thinking up all sorts
Of dodges to lure the customers and
their dollars through the turnstiles.
Glenn Seeks Revenge.
Last Saturday the I. C. 4-A's Asa
Bushnell got the old man to run two
miles instead of one and the old
man got his biggest hand of the
winter for beating the country's
best three at the distance. This
time Frank Brennan, who runs the
Knights of Columbus carnival, has
asked Glenn to run 1000 yards be-
fore going into his mile routine.
Cunningham did the same thing
in 1885, when he beat Chuck Horn
bostel in 2:10.1, still the world rec
ord. and then won the third of six
straight Columbian miles in 4:12.S.
But this time there's an added in
centive. He's meeting John Borican
in the 1000 and the big New Jersey
Negro is the only man who beat
Glenn this year.
The fame-scarred Kansan's anx-
iety to wipe out the Borican defeat
may see him push his own mark
down to 2:09 or 2:08.
Also in the 900 are Fireman San
ford Goldberg, I. C. 4-A Champion
Frank Slater, Howie Borck and Lou
Burns. Archie San Romani Chuck
Fenske and Gene Venzke will race
Cunningham in the mile.
Borican Also Doubles Up.
Borican also is duobling up, max
ing his second start against the
years best field in the Casey 600. Be-
sides Borican, those entered are Jim
Herbert, who was chased to record
I'LL last year when Cunningham
tried double at the mile and this
route; Wes Wallace, Charley Beet
ham, Canada's Bill Fritz and Dick
Gill of Boston.
Don Lash in the 2-mile I. C. "A
record-setter Artie Byrnes in the
high Jump, National Champion Her
bert Thompson and Allan Tolmich
in the sprint and hurdles. Dick
Ganslen in the pole vault, and New
York U. in the mile and Fordham
in the 2-mile relays shape up as
likely winners in the other features.

LEXINGTON, VA, March II.
Riley Smith, Star Quarterback
with the Washington Redskins
for the last two seasons, broke
even on his betting during the
South Atlantic Basket ball
tourney.
Now at Washington and Lee
University as backfield coach
for the Generals, he wagered
10 cents on st. Johns IN the
first round. The Johnnies won
it for him, downing Hargrave
Military. Smith again bet on the
Johnnies in the semi final. los

ham were to meet Fork Union and
Greenbrier, respectively, with the
winners going into tonights finals.
st. Johns engaged in a spirited
and fast battle while losing to Fork
Union, the same team that elm
mated George Washington in the
first round, but its shooting was way
off, especially in the first half. Even
joey Gallagher, generally Dead-Eye
Dick with the Johnnies, was missing
them right and left. Martin Hunt,
one OF the stars in the first-round
game, when st. Johns eliminated
Hargrave Military Academy, also
blew several setups.
Dick McElwee and Bob Erickson,
a pair of fast Fork Union cagers,
really beat the Johnnies. They
couldn't miss, dropping several cir
Gus shots apiece that generally
would not have been good tries and
taking high scoring honors with 13
and II points. respectively. Fork
Union just was having a good day,
while st. Johns was off.
The Johnnies were away to a fair
start with Ga lead in the first
quarter. 1t would have been twice
as much had half their attempted
shots dropped through the hoop.
But even at that, although the lead
changed hands twice during the Sec
ond quarter. st. Johns was ahead,
1916, at the half. Jim Mulvihin
was a big factor in that early edge,
having counted three times from
the floor.
Erickson Shines.
The third period was the sad one.
Gallagher and Charles Batchelder
picked up but St. Johns points,
while Erickson almost single hand
edly put Fork Union in front, 1921.
Gallagher finally got going in the
1nal quarter and paced St. Johns
point-for-point against Fork Union,
but the edge was too much to
overcome.
