Rival agents from True Confess
sions and Weird Stories were re-
ported running dead heat toward
Tony Galento's training camp fol-
lowing receipt of a manuscript from
Herr Harry Mendel, the fat fellows
financial and literary agent.
The title of this touching yarn
is Maybe You Can Use Some of
This, Regards, Harry Mendel." Ga
lento joins in the chorus with a
few well-edited monosyllableS and
the tone of this soul-stirring duet
is along the broad theme that Tony
will kick Buddy Baer in the seat
of his ample britches and clear out
of the heavyweight picture next
Tuesday night at Uline Arena.
The plot is worked out simply
enough with Harry modestly point
ing out that Galento came within
seconds of capturing the world title
couple of summers ago when he
almost unhorsed Joe Louis with a
sweeping left hook to the chin at
Yankee Stadium. Only Tony's re-
fusal to follow up this lead cost
him the crown, says Harry, and
Tony does not deny it. He will
never forgive himself for this break
down of his mental machinery.
Nova Fight Called Toughest.
A period and paragraph bring us
to chapter 2 where we find our
hero busily chopping up Lou Nova
in a CORY slaughter at Philadelphia.
Harry calls this one of the toughest
fights in heavyweight history and
Nova concurs in that verdict. Lou
fought two men that night, Galento
and Referee George Blake. imported
from California to insure clean play
Blake, it developed, made the cross
country trip merely to see the fight
because if he did any officiating it
wasn't noticeable. Tony, conse-
quently was permitted to use every
thing but straight razor to do
the job.
Then we come to the Max Baer
business at Jersey City last year

BOSTON, April Eight National
A. A. U. boxing crowns rested on
new brows today-three of them on
the heads of Massachusetts young
sters who dominated the climax
bouts of the three-day carnival of
fisticuffing at Boston Garden.
Teaming with lone Philadelphia
survivor, the New Englanders re-
stored much of the fading luster
of the East's old boxing glory by
gaining an even split of the spoils.
Three Midwesterners and one Pa
cific Coast representative divided
the remaining laurels.
Each title was wide open, for not
single 1910 champion had returned
to defend his honors. Three of last
nights flnalistS duplicated 1910
feats in reaching the championship
bracket and the hopes of two of
these were crowned with victory in
the decisive battles.

But in striking contrast to the

skirmish with seven marks in the
last two frames, the Luckies breezed
home in the final, 656 to COL
Aiken'S 4l2, Ell Geib's 395 and Bur-

while Julie Singers 159-417 and
Tony Santini'S l56-369 were best
for the Hallmen. The LuCkies' 1886
was tops for the night.
Anchorman Sam Benson'S last
box spare gave Georgetown a flying
start against Arcadia, while Milton

decision. George DemereS' 1877 and

StreamIined 68s Hit

By ROMNEY WHEELER,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

AUGUSTA, Ga, April ga
broad-shouldered gent with an in
fectious grin-United States Open
Champion Lawson Little-looked to
be money from home today as 40
top-f1ight golfers headed into the
eighth annual Augusta Masters
Tournament.
Two streamlined 68s, carded on
successive days in practice over the
smooth Augusta national
course, sent Littles stock booming
and squeezed odds on the Califor-
nian from a preliminary to l
down to 7 to l, dead heat with
Sam Snead, Ben Hogan and Byron

But where the other favorites
fretted over faltering games Little

Nelson, meanwhile, continued to
have trouble on the greens, miss
ing apparent easy puts. Hogan
fiddled with his putter and irons,
generally displeased with results but
hoping a changed stance would
bring improvement. Snead pointed
to his iron shots and held his
nose expressively. None, however,
appeared in serious difficulties. Nell

Weather Outlook Poor.
The four-day tournament, which

was not reassuring for the current
edition. He predicted rain today,
probably more before Saturday.
Horton Smith. only double winner
of the masters tourney, turned in a

Dick Chapman, and both were re-

GoIento's Pilot Twists Good
And Bad in Tony's Battles
To Show He'll Whip Boer

when Galento, putting like a winded
elephant, his face rising like leav-
ened bread where Baer carelessly
smacked him with both hands,
couldn't bulge off his seat and had
to accept a technical knockout de-
feat. That appeared to be the
finishing blow to Tony's hopes for
a comeback and another title shot
but it was nothing more than a
deplorable mistake. Well let Tony
explain it.
Reason He Didn't Whip Max.
"I would have licked Baer," he
says, but when he ducked low in
the first round I threw a left hook
at his chin but it hit him on the
head and broke my left hand. !
was without the use OF my left for
the remainder of the scrap and could
not do myself justice"
You can discern the fine, Hebraic
hand of Herr Mandel in those we'll
chosen, cultured words. Not once
does Galento refer to his opponent
as dat bum," nor did he claim his
defeat was caused by something
he ''et." In pure, unmistakable
English he says 1t was mistake
bad mistake.
To make doubly certain there is
on doubt left lurking in our minds
concerning Baer'S Luck, Mandel adds
a moral to his tale, first bringing
out in bold relief the evils that
brought about this regrettable in
cident. Tony, he says, was made
careless by the praise heaped or
his furry shoulders after his en-
gagaments with Louis and Nova
and refused to train. He thought
Baer would be scared knock-kneec
by his expanding reputation. More
over. he was building a S50,00(
tavern in Orange, N. j., and de-
! voted more attention to 1t than tc
his ring work.
Brother Hits Him With Mug.
1t was In this same tavern that
his brother playfully heaved a beer
mug at him for refusing him q
"freebe" to the bout, opening g
gasn that penetrated his severa
chins so deeply it almost drew
blood. Tony explains he would have
given his brother a ticket. but hac
not received any himself from Pro
