Members of a congressional COM

naval experts told them remedial

between 100000 and 100000.
Navy spokesmen informed a House
Appropriations Subcommittee, these
members said, that the tendency
toward topheaviness found in the
new craft was being corrected by
weighting the keels and removing
some of the guns.

Singh Defeats
Billy Hansen

Harnam Singh. huge Hindu
heavyweight, chopped off Billy
Hansen's winning streak at six
last night when he took two out
of three falls from the popular
Salt Lake City grappler TO win
their match headlining the wres-
ting card at Greenwich coliseum.
The end came in the fifth. prior
to which each man had gained a
fall. Determined to press the ad-
vantage he had gained by knock
ing the Hindu loose from his bear
ings with series Of flying tackles
in the fourth canto. Hansen came
right back with more of the same.
But his utter lack of caution
WIS disastrous, since Singh,
after twice being smashed to
the mat. jumped high In the
air the third time and Hansen
kept right on going. plunging
through the ropes and out onto
the hardwood.
Hansen crawled back into the
ring. but the big Hindu promptly
body-slammed his way to victory.
Pete Mehringer, former Ameri-
can Olympic wrestling ace, made
an impressive debut in going to an
entertaining draw with Jack Hol-
land in the five-round semi-final:
Andre Adoree spilled DIR. Harry

LEWIS Is FORCED TO BON
LITTLE-kNOMN CHALLENGER

POXBOROUGH and Black drove
hard bargain with Lewis,
who never got the money to which
he was entitled as a fighting man,
when the Arizona lad sought the
challenger's share in a match with
Louis.
In order TO get the $4,000 he
was paid that night. Lewis was
forced to agree to risk the light.
heavyweight championship against
Clark. an obscure stablemate o.
Louis.
This despite the fact that Louis
board of strategy knew John
Henry would amount TO even less
when Smoky Joe was finished
with him and that doing lis
pounds has been a severe task for
the Arizonan for some time.
Boxing men regard the
Lewis Clark match as being
tantamount to the transfer of
title.
Neither Billy Conn nor Melio
Bettina we're In sight when
Lewis, pressed for money,
campaigned for the Louis en-
counter.
Art Rooney, the professional
football man. now offers Lewis

Meanwhile, Bettina has fastened
