La Sale Rugged Foe
For Veteran Fur
Here Tomorrow
Youth, Speed Make Kenny
Heavy Fovorite Over
Washington WeIter

After meeting and bowling over
seven consecutive opponents In .
highly successful comeback "putsch." ."
Phil Furr meets up with more for.
midable company tomorrow night
at Turner's Arena where he comes
to grips with Kenny La Sale in the
10-round feature bout.
Along Bruiser boulevard wizened
old ring critics have installed La
Sale a favorite over the aging Dis
trict war horse. Rated ninth among
the worlds welterweights last De-
cember by the National Boxing As
sociation, La Sale figures to outlook
Furr, to cuff him around and win by
a comfortable margin. His youth
and superior speed are in his favor,
although Phillips Sunday punch
carries as much authority.
La Sale Deemed Faster.
Onhand, it appears that swifter
reflexes will decide the bout. FUR
knows as much about ring tactics as
La Sale, he knows all the tricks, but
simply isn't able to shove punches
through split-second openings and
retreat that extra inch that means
the difference between safety and
hit on the head. The Furr of two
years ago would be La Sales match
and possibly his master, but Phil is
over his peak and gradually run
ming down.
La Sale demonstrated his prow-
ess before Washington fans last
summer when he whitewashed Steve
Mamakos at Griffith Stadium. The
durable Greek was a perfect foil
for his rapier-like punches and slick
generalship. Steven was in a men,
tai fog from the first bell to the
last. He was up against a phan-
tom he couldn't hit. but whose
needle-like jabs nearly drove him
crazy. Mamakos wasn't La Sales
type.
Furr Ready for Route.
Furr will not be drawn into any
OF Kenny's traps. He'll match the
Texan in their tactical game and
undoubtedly muss his features a bit
with his long left, but he doesn't
appear able to do enough damage
to swing the verdict. One thing
IN Phils favor tomorrow will be
condition. There have been reports
that he was not attending to busi-
ness. but his physical welfare has
been his primary consideration this
week. He'll be ready to go the full
route at top speed and not fold
when the going gets tough.
Promoter Joe Turner has cor
rallied q nice supporting card to
round out the program. Toby To-
bias. one-time Miami University
f1ghter. boxes Ell Brookman IN an
eight-round semifinal and Wild Bill

Of his excellent condition.
WOODSIA is on the improve
and she should be in the thick
of the scrap. SUGARAGE for
the short end.

SIXTH REORGANIZATION,
STABLE. UPHOLD.

SUNPHANTOM won his last
over the 6-furlong route and the
Genie gelding should be able to
60 this far and stay in front all
the way. STABLE disappointed
in her recent outing but pre-
viously she won with ease. UP
HOLD should improve.

WHITE GINGER, MIDAS.
Ell PUMA copped his last effort
at Tropical. He won twice here
in January, showing q fondness
for the footing. WHITE GINGER
has scored three straight wins
and may be the public choice.
MIDAS may threaten.
