Soose Earns
Title Shot
With Victory

NEW YORK. Jan. 4. tUP)-By
virtue of the dynamite in his do: =
tored right hand. Billy Soose will
set title shot with Middleweight
Champion Ken Overlin in Febru-
airy or March.
Wiry. ark-haired Soose con-
vinced hostile crowd of 1908
cash customers in his first New
York appearance last night at
Madison Square Garden that he
is the 'Nincrowned king" of the
middleweights. He hammered out
an easy 10-round decision over
Tami Mauriello of the Bronx.
With three smashing, straight
rights in the third round, besting
Billy-former intercollegiate cham
pion from Penn State-ocnvinced
Promoter Mike Jacobs and the
crowd that he might be the guy
who could lift the crown from
Bridegroom Overlin.
SooSe fought 10 rounds last night
with Mauriello, a metropolitan fa-
vorite who was unbeaten in "a
straight fights and was known as
the Bronx Torpedo" because of
his Knockout Wallcp.
Terrible Tami" won the first
two rounds against sloW-starting
Soose of Farrell, Pa. In the second
session it seemed that the Bronx
italian might knock out Soose. who
had registered non-title victories
L.;
who is recognized by the New York
commission, and Tony Zale, the
National Boxing association ruler.
Came the third round, and Billy
landed laundering right on Maui
riellos chin. Tami almost keeled
over. as he staggered to gain his
footing. There was a bit of SPAR
ring, and "bong!' Another straight
right landed in the same spot,
knocking the Bronx contender
half way across the ring and into
the ropes. Tami had scarcely re-
covered from this, when he was
nailed with another right that
ouckled his knees in a neutral COR
ner.
Fol- the rest of the fight, bril-
liant Billy and his educated left
jab gave Mauriello a boxing les
son that had him smeared with
gore. And as the Farrell fencing
master caught Mauriello's wild
blows on gloves and elbows, or
made him miss completely, there
never was any doubt in the fans
minds as to the winner.

Angeles opens $4,000 purse.
A pair of the games most powerful
hitters plus an unknown better
from Lake Orion, Mich, led the
way down the long fairways of the
Riviera country club and from first
round results it appeared the course
would favor the slugger
Jimmy Thomson. who can prove
he's the worlds longest hitter
mastered the treacherous, trap :
lined fairways and ran down long
puts TO take an early lead. His
69 shaved par by three strokes and
headed his closest rivals by two.
Slammin sammy Snead, who
| learned to art of booming tee shots
in the hills of Arkansas, and a
newcomer. Limerick KicSiS, tied III
second position with 70's, TO be-
come the lone threesome to enter
the second round with scores below
perfect figures.
Lawson Little, defending cham
pion and national open king, fought
off the effects of a recent influenza
attack to come banging down the
back nine to take Y and stay
we'll on the pace for another VIC
tory. Bracketed with him were
Mac Smith. Byron Nelson, P. G.. A.
champion, Olin Dutra. Paul Run
van, Al Kruger and Felix Serafin.
Lodged a stroke better at par II
were George FaZio. Lloyd Mangrum,
Fay Coleman, Craig Wood and Edu-
ardo Blasi of Buenos Aires.
Thomson, with his long distance
woods splitting the fairways at
every hole, opened up With birdie
four. and from then on he couldn't
be touched. TWO shots carried him
on the island green 5l3 yards from
the tee, and pair Of puts dropped
him home.
Only once did the husky Chicago
pro stray from standard figures
On the eighth he hooked into a
clump of trees. His second struck
a branch, but only a wobbly SIX
foot putt robbed him of a par.
Snead toured the 7000-yard lay
out with a steady hand and rung up
35's on both mines for his sub-par
round. Kocsis fired one stroke over
going out but his canny putting
coupled with long drives brought
him home safely.
Johnny Dawson of Los Angeles
headed the amateurs with Y
while Ellsworth Vines, former tennis
star, came in with rs to remain
in the running.
While the Riviera course favored
the Thomsans and the Sneads, II
brought trouble to several pre-
tournament favorites. Jimmy De-
maret and Ed Oliver both shot
three-over-par 74's. while former
amateur champ George Won Elm

Other changes were:
The watch will be stopped as

half but will be started as soon
as the substitution is complete
The ball may be handed forward
at any point behind the line OF

Soft Drink Firms
Experience Typical

Let me illustrate the difficulties
of doing business with National
Socialist Germany by relating the
experience of an American firm
making soft drinks. This firm.
surprisingly enough, had a salts
factory business in Germany. the
land of beer, for number of
years.
After Hitler came into power.
the company began 10 run into
difficulties. German doctors GER
titled that their product was in
furious 10 health. The police re-
ported that some of their build
ingS must be torn down, because
they did not measure up TO the
building code.
I l passed this word on TO the
party headquarters. and a few
days laterv young man a little
under 30 Years, dressed in the

Nazis Know Many
Effective Devices

Some people express the fear
| that the Nazis may confiScate such
American properties. This seems
unlikely. They know trick 10
times as effective. They will allow
the American holders 10 maintain
their title to property in lands
under NaZi control.
OF course, if he puts on the pres
sure too strongly. he will defeat
his purpose. American companies
are patriotic. They would not be-
ttTay the interests of the United
States under pressure, if the issue
were clearly presented to them in
| that light-but it would not be.
The great trouble in dealing with
the NaZis is the fact that we never
know their last word No matter
how much you have agreed to to-
day, they will demand more to-
morrow. The experience of the
IVichy government is an excellent
ILLUSTRATION of this point.
In October 1881, nearly one and
half years before the Nazis came
Ito power, Hermann Goering ex-
pressed the desire TO talk over
economic policies with repre-
sentative of the American En-
bassy. Accordingly. had lunch
with him and talked until 5 o'clock
in the afternoon.
OF that time. he gave me a
warning TO American business
firms that they had better leave
Germany.
In a friendly spirit, he asked me
to warn them so that they might
leave before getting into actual
trouble.
Some years later. Walther Funk,
then president of the ReichSbank
land minister of economics, stated
Officially that in world trade after
the war no private international
trade would be permitted. that

Iments, as private transactions only
