said today Tt looks like a sell-out by eight this evening"
 For the semi-final tonight, fans get dish that should be knock down drag-out affair worth match ing dancing Jack Trambittas against swinging Hank Broulette both weighing about 160 and as ev- enly matched as any two fighters in Juneau.
 Trambittas is a more classy boxer We think Broulette can stand the gaff a little better when it comes to absorbing punches. It adds uI to something good, and we'll be in- terested to see whether or not Brou- lette comes out with that long de- fensive left he used to use, or that quick little offensive short left he slapped out John Beltran with in the last bout.
 Beltran was easy to hit, and Brou- lette had little trouble putting him away Trambittas will be differ ent story.
 Jacks brother Larry does his toe stepping in a special event against Eddie Powers, both entering the square circle at around 142 pounds.
 We'll make no forecasts on this one. Both fighters know the ring and can dish out any style of box ing on the record. One thing is certain, anyway-itll be fight.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Aug. 16. The champion long distance swimmer of Mexico-who happens to be a girl-has invaded the Unit ed States and issued a blanket challenge to the best swimmers of both sexes.
 Her name is Maria Rivera, and she is something of a celebrity in Mexico as her scrapbooks prove Her latest exploit was to win a 23-mile match race on stormy Lake Chapala against a male star named Angel Perez Arce. Arce was not able to finish the course and drowned
 On Lake Tequesquitengo she beat g of Mexico's best men swimmers, going all night and coming out, according to her own account, not even fatigued.
 "Phonomenap Endurance
 q have in me some kind of re- sistance to both cold and fatigue that I do not understand, she ex- plains. Tt is phenomenal. Other people do not have it. At the end of long swim I refuse the help of nurses
 These words had to be inter preted, as she speaks no English a fact which has handicapped her in arranging matches in t his country.
 Senorita Rivera is not excess sively large or muscular and is highly feminine in manner. When not swimming she sings and dances the rhumba in Mexican theatres. She always starts race with white flowers twined in her hair and a medallion of the Vir- gin of Guadalupe hung around her neck.
 She's Unofficial Champion
 Mexico has no official AAU title for swimming events, but the Mexican Consul here affairms that the senorita is universally regard ed as marathon champion by press and public.
 In the United States she wants to meet any competition in any distance between 10 and 30 miles. She turned down an invitation to Santa Monica race because five miles was too short. T h e crossing of San Francisco Bay which is no mean feat and is rarely accomplished = is something she offers to do as an exhibition.
 There is one unique experience Senorita Rivera may meet in her American appearances-she never yet has competed with a member of her own sex.

 HURLING MEN

CLEVELAND, Aug. 16-Al Smith isn't angry with the New York Yankees Even that seven-run first inning outburst with which they greeted him in his last New York appearance didn't sour Al on the champs.
 You see, the Tanks indirectly gave Al his chance to make good in a big-league comeback - and his record of ten victories against three losses up to the end of July indicates that the big Cleveland southpaw is making good
 Al, who won his way back to the big leagues by turning in a 16-2 record for Buffalo last year, was just touring along with the Indians early this year, pitching an occasional relief chore.
 Then the word got around that the Tanks were having trouble with left-hand pitchers. Manager Oscar Witt, remembering that Al losses the ball from the port side, decided to give the big newcomer a starting assignment against the New Workers.
 Beats Tanks Twice
 Smith beat em and looked good doing it. Witt started him again against the same club-and again the champs bit the dust. So MT Smith won regular starting turn-and from there on MT Smith went to town.
 As biggest success secret is con- trol Che passed only 49 batters in 160 innings last year) and screw ball pitch that he lets fly on an average of once every four throws. He's no inexperienced hurler either He started in professional baseball in 1930, was with the Giants in 1883, worked some for the Phillies but has never had the major loop success he's enjoying this year.
 The big guy doesn't claim any great credit for his record to date. He says luck and some swell CO., operation have been his biggest aids. Like all the other Cleve- flanders, he has kind words for Boudreau and Mack, the Indians snappy' rockies pair at the key stone sack.
 Saved One For Him
 They saved one game for me without a doubt" he recalls. We were tied with Boston, and |, in the fifth inning, one down, and the Sox were really scrapping for the lead. With what looked like a damaging rally on the way, that pair of kids worked a double play on a slow grounder that might have been tough for a single out in most cases. don't see how they did it."
 He is not doing too much en- thusing about being back in the big-time.
 Anything can happen" he re- minds you. You may work sev- eral good games, lose 'em by one or two runs. Or you can pitch a

string of not-so- good ones and come out of 'em okay because you had super-support. o I'm not bank ing too much on my Won-lost record so far this year. I don't know when my luck may change
 Al, 31 years old, is married and has a one-year-old daughter. His home in the off-season is at Web- ster Grove near St. Louis.

CROSBY OPPOSES |NAUGY, WILEY BOYS THIS WEEK
Borough Team Here To. morrow Night; Blue and
 White Improved

The race in the Naugatuck Val- ley league is getting into its final stages, and this morning finds Wilby holding only a very slender edge over Naugatuck. The Wildcats can increase that lead tonight or drop into second place as a result of the contest with Warren Harding in Bridgeport. By an unusual turn of events, the chances of Wilby and Naugatuck to capture the pennant this season lie in the hands of Crosby. Both teams must play this old rival Saturday, and there is little doubt that neither feels a bit over-confident as to the result. Naugatuck comes to Waterbury Wednesday night and the Crobsy- Wllby battle will be Saturday night.
 On the occasion of the first Crosby -Naugy game played last month in the borough, the Grey hounds won by single basket in an overtime period. On that occa- sion, Crosby outplayed Naugy all the way maintaining slender lead down to within IS seconds from the end. Here a wild shot from three quarters the length of the floor tied the score, and a similar shot in the overtime period gave Naugy game that was a tough one for Crosby to lose. Tomorrow night Crosby is determined to reverse that result.
 With the addition of Monti, a sharp-shooting forward, Crosby is stronger today than a month ago. Playing on its own surface the ad- vantage this time will be with Old Ivy, and Coach Bill Schof1eld's club intends to make the most of it.
 Saturday night comes Wilby and next week Leavenworth. Crosby is planning to stop all three clubs and call it season. A tough job, no doubt, but 1t can be done. If the Blue and White fights as it did in Naugatuck and last week against Torrington, it is the equal of any club in the league.
