book tale yesterday while Tommy
was blowing down rows of imaginary
opponents with gales of rights and

was only Is then and weighed only
80 pounds-not even enough to gain
admittance to regularly supervised

early age and despite his dwarf

signs of fistic ability.

A couple of evenings a week 9
throng of neighborhood elders would
assemble at the corner near cigar

Heurich League championship this
afternoon at 3 o'clock at Heurich
gym, and If the game bears any
resemblance to their nerve shatter-

Regal copped the series opener,

two shots into the bucket, off setting
a field goal scored by Merrill Head
1ngs, Adam center, earlier in the
period, and the chances are another

Headings and Via are the leading
contenders for the leagues out

be presented between halves of the
game. Chris HeuriCh, jr.; Ed Col

the committee making the selection
and at last reports were unable to
agree.
Headings has individual scoring
honors for the year locked up with
more than 400 points to his credit
and owns the District scoring record
for one game of So points. He poured
that number through the hoop the
afternoon Adam walloped United
Clay Products, 96-53. Despite his
prolific scoring Headings does not
try to dominate the scene but is
rated an excellent team player.
Teamwork is Vianas strong suit.

The series was interrupted last

DeChard 10 Turn Rinq
Pro on UIine Arena
Gard Next Month
Bottling Under Jacobs
Moy or May Not Prove
Break for D. c. Heavy

Jimmy DeChard, barrell-chested,
flaxen-haired District youngster who
has been threatening to turn pro-
fessional, finally will take the plunge
next month, it was disclosed last
night.
DeChard, amateur heavyweight
champion of the city several years,
will box in the Ground semiflnal
on the Tony Galento-Buddy Baer
card at Uline Arena April 8. His
opponent will be an unknown trial
horse yet to be selected In all
probability it will be Johnny Sionias
of Jersey City.
DeChard originally was bound
over to Joe Turner for his paid
debut and frankie Mann, his man
ager, had said he would fulfill his
obligation unless Mike Jacobs, who
is promoting the Baer-Galento
show, offered a purse too attractive
to be declined. 1t is believed Mann
reached an agreement with Turner
whereby DeChard will be available
for Turner the next time he fights.
Breaking in under Jacobs wing
either is a good break or dire
calamity for Jimmy. He might win
more recognition under the Jacobs
banner, possibly work himself into
a shot for the championship if he
has anything at all on the ball.
On the other hand he'll have to
bind himself to Mike for the rest of
his career.
Jimmy was reported to have suf-
fered a fractured bone in his right
hand a couple of weeks ago but
apparently is fully recovered.

Power Races Urged
Al Chester River
BY the Associated Press.


CHESTERTOWN, Md, March Is.
DIR. Harry B. Wilmer, Philadelphia
physician, commodore of the Ches-
ter River Yacht and Country Club
here, has proposed a split in the
Chester River regatta program. He
would hold the sailing events some
u or Is miles down the river from
Chestertown and the powerboat
races off the clubhouse course.
DR.. Wilmer, an Eastern Shore
native, believes that better sailing
conditions available nearer the
mouth of the Chester will increase
greatly the number and quality of
entries.
There is little in the sailing
events for spectators, anyhow" he
said, land the speedboat events, off
the club property, would provide
plenty of entertainment for those
who do their yachting from pier and
shore"
