Believed Reody for Shot
At Jenkins, Aneott

Latka's manager of record is Tony
Palazola. The fighter is the 10th of
u children, born in Kalamazoo,
Mich. In his spare time he slips
into his cap and gown and teaches
the manly art of self-defense at
Santa Clara University.
Latka seems to be devoid of a
Knockout punch at this writing, but
Mr.. Albertanti, Mr.. Raft and Mr..
Palazola, reasoning carefully and as
far away from the sunshine as pos
sible, believe he is ready for a shot
at the lightweight title-now sub
divided between Samuel Angott, the
adopted nephew of the National
Boxing Association, and Lewis St.
Eustace Jenkins, the part-time ter
ror of Sweetwater, Tex.
Considering the recent perform
ances of Mr.. Angott and Mr.. Jen-
kins, he probably is.
Whether he is or not, it is very
fine to know that Francis Albertanti
has returned to his ancient role OF
fight sleuth and constructor of
champions. That is Mr.. Albertanti's
true racket, and as long as 1t keeps
him out of the fresh air his friends
will know that the old nature expert

nell stretched the amazing Brooklyn
Dodgers winning streak to seven
games today with a superb three hit
performance that tanned the Boston
Bees, 20.
By holding the Bees without a
run, Pressnell extended the Boston
ians' string of scoreless innings to
20. The losers had been previously
shut out in the last II innings of
yesterdays 20-inning marathon
which the Dodgers won go.
Pressnell gained his decision over
Dick Erickson in a torrid pitching
battle. Erickson didn't allow a run
until the eighth when the Brooks
scored both their tallies. B.
The ~run-making happened like
this: Gus Mancuso walked and
Pressnell sacrificed him to second.
Pee Wee Reese singled to left, scor-
ing Mancuso with the games first

Cookie Lavagetto singled to right,
sending Reese to third and Dixie
Walker promptly pumped another
single to right, scoring Reese but
Lavagetto was out, trying for third.
Ducky Medwick then ended the inn

In his last performance Monk

NIGHT SOFTBALL

At long last Wilmington is tc
have night softball, with the first
games being slated for Wednesday
night. Feeling that Harold Harris
was mainly responsible for the in.
%stalation of the arcs, the boys are
planning to have his team play the
first game there, though they
haven't a game slated for We'd
nesday.
Installation of the softban lights
brings up another point. If we
can have night softball, why not
night tennis? There are many
working people in the city who
would like to play tennis, but who
do not have the time during the
day. Many of them would be will
ing to pay for the privilege and we
have seen municipal courts where
lights we're installed with quarter
meters on them. Drop in two bits
and play for As minutes. At the
end of that time, out go the lights.
There is no expense to the city,
outside of initial costs of the lights,
and the working folk who would
like and need a bit of recreation
that carries with it some healthful
exercise, would be willing to pay.

The Pirates looked better Friday night than they

we have seen them do when playing their best brand of
