Cincinnati Aces L1 Dangerous Mound Slump
Bellus Out For Revenge
 From DOlan On Thursday

Because of the fact that the ref- eree's scorecard showed just two points difference in favor of Irish Eddie Dolan over Johnny Bellus of New Haven in the latter city two months ago, there was created a re- turn bout natural which will be presented Thursday night of this week at the Randolph Cloves Sta dium under the usual auspices of the Waterbury A. c. On that oc- caSion, Dolan was the smarter of the two but BelluS did the punching and was so good at it that he cut Dolan's eyebrow as early as the second round, and were it not for some slick patchwork in the corner by Mickey Genaro of Waterbury Dolan might have been beaten by the TKO route.
 However, he went the distance and won the fight despite loud cries from some ringsiders for 8 draw, for Johnny had scored heavily with body blows while Dolan outboxed him in the last three rounds. There fore, they meet again, as Bellus has been Itching to get even" and now has his chance. Local fans consider the fight very much worth while which is indicated by the heavy reservation list already compiled at Mulligan's with every indication that a near capacity crowd will be seated by the time the two princi- pals get their hands up Thursday night.
 Action Ahead
 In the preliminaries, no less than five well-known boxers have been paired with worthy opposition from the opener of four rounds Clarence Cotton King to meet Charley Seeleg of Albany; Maxie Katz vs. Tony Gillo, of New Haven, a six round 165 pound bout that should have the customers on edge from early in the first rounds; Mickey Williams of New Haven and Ernie Costa of New York, 6 rounds at 134 pounds; Jimmy Bell of New Haven against Irish Billy Connerty of New York; six rounds, 146 pounds; Tommy Ciarlo of this city is booked for a
 six round semi-final go with Irish Kid Barton of New York that may turn out to be the real fight of the program. Ciarlo is anxious to re- deem himself since his last debacle with Julie Kogon Commerty, who meets Bell, is reported to have beaten Georgie Martin of Boston, and Babe Synott of Fall River, the latter a very good fighter who has shown in New Haven several times.
 Katz and Tony Gillo will be a wild-swinging affair from start to finish. Bellus, in hard training is being directed in his workouts by Charley Pilkington, the Meriden Flash of 1915 who believes that the tough New Haven Pole can fight his way up to the 'big money" within a year.

California Girls May Upset Highly Favored Pale
 frey-Marble Duo
BY TOM NOONAN ,AmL n--- Cx~ m

Chestnut Hill, Mass, Aug. 2O.- (UP)-A pair of upstart Califor- nians, Pauline Betz and Margaret Osborne, take to the famed grass courts of Longwood Cricket Club today to start drive that may lead to ultimate victory over Alice Mar ble and Sarah Palfrey, undefeated since combining four years ago.
 Heavy mist soaked the well-kept turf and caused postponement of yesterdays scheduled start of the 59th annual national doubles cham pionships, driving players into the clubhouse to idle their time in ping pong, bridge and conversation.
 Women players who have fol- lowed the top-seeded duo about the summer circuit believe the defend- ing champions are headed for their first setback. Most of them agree that the Misses Betz and Osborne are most capable of providing the upset.
 The champs are slipping bit, they say, and most of the trouble centers about Miss Palfrey,s new backhand which has proved inef- fective under pressure. Miss Mar ble has been forced to assume the burden at critical points and even Queen Alice has shown signs of cracking.
 A match-point placement that missed by two scant inches was all that prevented the Betz- Osborne tandem from scoring the upset last week in an Essex semi-final. Miss Marble and Miss Palfrey came back to win that match and also the final in a 45-game struggle with British Wightman cuppers. Valerie Scott and Mary Hardwick.
 Coming Champs.
 The blasting service of Miss Os- borne and Miss Betz's dashing all- around play won the praise of Mrs. George w. Wightman, who shared 32 national titles.
 They're coming champions" she said. Except for Alice and Sarah they're the best team in women's tennis today and they have every chance of topping them"
 In the mems doubles, 32 combines stage free-for or-all battle for the crown won last year by debonair Adrian Quist and two-fisted Jack Bromwich in an all-Austrian final. War has eliminated the Anzacs and the other top-notch foreigners.
 Frank Parker of Beverly Hills and Don McNeill of Oklahoma City. Okla, the nations second and third ranking players, are top-seeded though they won their first tourna- ment of the season only Saturday at Newport.
 Erratic Bobby Riggs of Chicago, the nations No. 1 man, and more cratic Welby Van Horn of Los An- geles are seeded second. They are followed by CaliforIlians Jack Kra- mer and Fred Schroeder and Gard mar Mulloy, Coral Gables, Fla, and Henry Prusoff, Seattle, Wash.
 Two. half-and-half teams, George Lyttleton-R Rogers of Ireland and Frank Froehling of Chicago, and w. c. Choy of China and John Palfrey fo Boston, constitute the foreign seeds.
 The Misses Scott and Hardwick are top foreign seeds in the women's doubles.
 Competition also will be held in the mixed doubles, mems veterans, women's veterans and father-and- son events.

not to hurt me. You know, the old fiXeroo to take care of the old champ. Well, you were all wrong. It was every man for himself once that bell rang. When l got to At lanta to fight that Luttrell, my manager, Maxie Waxman, who never had seen him, got scared when he saw the cowboy hoist him. self through the ropes. He whisper ed that maybe we had been taken for suckers, and said he wasn't sure I could lick him. Well, I whispered back, you've picked a helluva time to decide that"
 The wrestlers really gunned for him, Jack said.
 "They knew I was getting up in years, and that I wasn't in any too good shape, and that they could get lot of publicity if they could knock me out. So they started swinging and kept swinging until I cooled 'em of. They can't take much of punch, those wrestlers. You won't believe it, but could take 8 little fellow like Jimmy McLarnin when he was in his prime and weighing around 145, and have him knocking out five or six wrestlerS a night And mean wrestlers weighing any, where from 225 to 300 pounds. The migger they are the harder they fall. They can't punch a lick. They are bad business if they get a hold on you, but they don't hit much harder than a lightweight"
 I asked Jack if he ever enter tained any serious notion of making comeback and he just laughed.
 You think I'm crazy? I just needed little ready money and be- sides I like to be on the move. I'll tell you this. though. believe I hit just about as hard today as did when I fought Willard. Of course, you really can't tell by hitting wrestlers how good your punch is. but know I threw a few rights and 1efts that would have knocked any, thing down."

New York, Aug. 20. (UP)-Have you ever hit a wrestler?
 mean, have you ever hauled OH and really let one of those big groan and grunters have it right on the chin?
 If you haven't, then Jack Demp- sey will tell you that you have miss- ed one of life'S greatest pleasures and try to convince you that no man should shuttle of this mortal soil without having socked at least one wrestler.
 Last night, as Jack and I shared a steak in his Broadway bistro. he told me that never in his life had he had such good time as on his recent tour when he fought wres- tiers in Atlanta, Detroit and other places. A glow came into his eyes as he leaned across the table, clenched his big left fist, and told of his hand-to-hand encounters with the big bullies of the beef trust.
 There just can't be any bigger thrill than belting wrestler, !" Dempsey enthused. "Wrestlers are tust made to be hit. I've hit all kind of boxers in my life but I got more fun out of punching those big wrestlers than I did out of all the boxers put together. Man, what targets they make! Boxers are al- ways going with your punches or slipping them, but not those wrest- lers. They think they are so big and strong that they can just come tearing into you and tear you apart. You can really tee of on those babies"
 I asked Jack if he didn't have a qualm or two about hitting the big fellows?
 "No and I'll tell you why. Lots of you sportswriters intimated that the wrestlers had instructions to take it easy with me, and to be careful
