Wally Judnich opened the tenth

Browns yesterday won a 10-inning

NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-A couple
of guys are going to climb into
Madison Square Gardens ring to-
morrow night and look into a gaso-
line tank with a lighted match.
Naturally, they're not going to
drive right into the place, but with
what young Tami Mauriello and Gus
Lesnevich pack in their fists, the
results figure to be the same.
They're slated to tangle IS rounds
for the honest-to-goodness world
light-heavyweight championship -
the whole thing this time and not
just a piece of it at the disposal Of
one commission or another. But If
their records and walloping abilities
are any indication, some one is going
to hear the brides sing.
Moderate Crowd Expected.
There won't be too many custo-
mers on hand to see it happen. Say
$4,000 or so, paying into q gross pot
Of some $25,000 for the opening of
the Garden indoor season. But this
gathering figures to see fireworks
being dealt freely of the arm.
On experience and weight, Les
nevich rules 5-to-7 betting choice
The rugged Russian from jersey
boasts a record marred by defeat
by only one light heavyweight. That
one was Billy Conn. the movie hero
who abdicated the 175-pound crown
to try for the heavyweight title. On
that record. this corner likes Gus
to knock off the Bronx bangor and
thereby clean up the light-heavy-
weight hilarities which have been
playing the bushes since the Ma
tional Boxing Association took away
Conn's title and Billy turned right
around and passed up the New York
Commission sanction. Lesnevich has
been recognized as boss by the N.
B. A. ever since he cuffed Anton
Cristoforidis around some months
back.
Tamfs Record Sensational.
Up to now, Mauriello's prescription
for putting other guys to sleep is a
little more powerful than the Les
nevich recipe. Tami has had only
80 fights since he traded in his
amateur card for a chance to put
coffee and cakes on the table by
busting beaks. OF these he has won
80 and in those 80 trips to the post
he has fiattened % Of the other
fellows.
Against this, Gus shows Is knock
outs in 63 fights, but while Tami has
done most of his stiffening against
middleweights-he only recently has
climbed into the heavier DIVISION
Gus has been doing his stun with
light-heavies and heavies. He kayoed

UNCLE RAYS CORNER-Bunched Almonds Are Eosy TO Chew

Some nuts are almost half water
when they are fresh. but not the
almond 1t is about as dry as any
nut nature makes. Only one part
In II is water.
The small amount of water in an
almond helps to explain why it is
a rather hard nut to bite into. Il
isn't hard nut to crack. at least
not when it comes in the soft shell,
or in the paper shell, form. Some
hard-shelled almonds are on the
market, and they are not so easy
to crack
Because the nut itself is rather
hard. some housewives "blanch" al
monds before placing them in
salads or cakes. In other words
they soak them in hot water and
take off a kind of skin from each
nut. Then the part under the skin
can be bitten without much work.
Most almond trees grow in The
lands around the Mediterranean
sea. Southern Asia also has many
of them, and they grow well in
California.
The walnut is another popular
member of the nut family. There
are several kinds, among them the
black walnut, the white walnut and
the English walnut.
The black walnut is round and
has a very hard shell. If you crack
1t with a hammer, you must be

but they are not nearly so common
now as in days gone by.
Oil taken from black Walnuts is
used by painters. A dark brown
dye is obtained from the outer
husk of the nut, and from the bark
of the tree.
White walnuts have the more
common name of "butternuts." The
trees which produce them are not
so tall, but some grow to a height
of IS feet. The shells are oblong
and pointed, and are not so hard
to crack.
Most useful of all walnut trees
is the English walnut. It may
start to bear when only six years
old, and will be fruitful for 20 or
80 years. English walnuts are
grown in Great Britain, Spain,
France and Italy, and in some
parts of this continent. Thousands
of tons of English walnuts are
grown in California each year.
Black walnuts and butternuts eel

English walnuts have enjoyed q
wide sale for many years.

West opened the queen of dia-

would win the king of trumps and
return the jack of diamonds, allow

Later on, West would get the lead
with a heart to cash a diamond

But South was not an unthinking
player. He realized that West might
well have the king of trumps and a
six-card diamond suit for his bid,
and the danger was quite apparent
He therefore led trump from the
dummy, at the second trick, and
went right up with the trump ace.
Then another trump lead lost to
Vests king, but the contract was
safe, for East could not get a dia-

Note that refusing the finesse as
sured South that he would make his

Despite Police

Sammy Sofferin has a renewa

license be vacated, Commissioner
Frank d. Eaman has suggested
that the department be relieved
of the responsibility of enforce
ment Of state liquor laws.
In Lansing. Philip j. Neudeck
secretary of the commission, said
"SOfierin's record during the
last year has been perfect. He
has operated within the law and
there Is nothing that the COM
mission could do but grant him
license.
Inspector Thomas Wysocki Of
Central Station recommended thai
|Sofferin's license not be renewed
and Eaman upheld Wysocki wher
Sofferin appealed the ruling.
POLICE ASK RESPITE
Eaman said that the department
Stands by its recommendation.
"The attitude of the liquor
control commission, as presently
exhibited, makes the work of the
Detroit Police Department well
nigh hopeless. Apparently, the
recommendations of the police
department, made In good faith,
and upon assurance of the liquor
commission that IL would coop
crate, are worthless and the
commissions assurances are
without foundation.
I'm view of this situation, II
would seem only fair that the
police department be relieved of
responsibility for enforcement of
the state liquor laws so that re-
spOnsibility for the conditions
that are going TO be serious be-
cause of boom times can be
placed where IL belongs"
John w. Miner, chairman of the

mission had done the right thing
I'm sure If Frank Eaman
