strengthen the outfeld. Their
aging infield, which was sup

been bolstered by the waiver

Jacobs Seeks
Challenger
PIons Fight Cord
to Pick Title Hope

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-(R-
With all the things that might
be said about Promoter Mike
Jacobs and his boxing mon
opoly" (and usually they are
said), at least it is difficult to
substantiate a charge that tho
old ticket broker is unwilling to
give outsiders a chance.
Though Mike has Ken Over
lin, the locally-recognized mid
dleweight champion, sewed up
tighter than a Christmas glove,
he is deliberately bringing in
four of the toughest 16O-pound-
ers that can be scraped up to
tangle in the Garden tonight,
with the ultimate purpose Of
finding man to knock Overlin
loose from his crown. q
In one hereunder Billy Soose,
the ex-Penn State college star,
faces Tamil Mauriello, a Bronx
threat who has won "a straight
fights in two-year professional
career. Soose during the past
year won decisions both over
Overlin and Tony Zale, the lat
ter recognized by the N. B. A.
as middleweight king. Soose's
followers have been claiming
ever since that Jacobs wouldn't
give him a chance in New York.
In the other 160-pound bout,
an 8-rounder, Coley WEIGH Of
Portland, Me-, meets Ernie
Vigh of Newburgh, N! Y. Both
look very promising. WEIGH in
his recent Garden debut caused
one old-time manager to declare
he looked like the first natural
body-puncher to come up in 10
years"
The top of tonight's card is Q
Hereunder between Dave Cas-.
tilloux, Canadian lightweight
champion, and Aldo Spoldi, the
stiff-puncher from Italy who
went the route with Henry ARM
strong a couple of years ago,
when Armstrong really was
good. The winner supposedly
will get a shot at Lew Jenkins,
135-pound tltleholder.

Detroit
to Meet

oWith the halfway mark in the
National Hockey League race
only three games away, the
challenge of the oncoming De-
troit Red Wings is at last receiv-
ing serious consideration.
Figures In the most important
column-goals against-tell the
true story of the Wings success
and explain their stranglehold
on second place. Their rookie
netminder. Johnny Mowers, is
only a goal behind Walter
(Turk) Broda of the leading
Toronto Leafs in the race for the
Vezina Trophy.
They will duel each other in
Toronto tomorrow night as the
Wings fly against the Leafs
four-point margin on first place.
There were no games last night,
and another open date tonight
will bring the clubs to the heavy
weekend firing nicely rested.
Detroit has chance to knock
Toronto out of undisputed pos
session of first place for the
first time during the weekend.
To do this they must beat the
Leafs Saturday night and knock
over the Montreal Canadiens at
Detroit the following night.
That, of course, is a tall order,
for the Leafs are not easily
licked at home, and the Can
adiens are at their best at the
moment, tied with three others
for fourth place in the tightest
race in several seasons.
The Wings, Canadiens and
New York Rangers tackle dou-

Tee off
lin Open
By ROBERT MYERS

CLOS ANGELES, Jan. 3.-(R
Colts finest players stand on
the firing line today and begin
shooting for the richest target
put up in the far west-the Los
Angeles Open Championship,
with its $4,000 purse.
The tournament, the 18th an
nual edition and inaugural
event on CALIFORNIA; winter
links schedule, drew virtually
every top professional in the ma
ton for the four-day battle at
Riviera Country Club.
Heading the array of cham
pions and ex-champions was
Lawson Little, the former anna
teur king, who emerged from
the professional wilderness in
this Los Angeles Open one year
ago, captured the title and went
on to add the National Open
crown to his trophy collection.
Listed behind were such for
mer L. A. Open winners as the
three Jimmies-Demaret, Thorn
son and Hines; veteran MacDon-
aid Smith, four time titleholder;
Ed Dudley, Vic Ghezzi, Harry
Cooper and Craig Wood, al
praying to start the New Year
off with q victory.
1t was the first time the event
has been held at Riviera since
Denny Shute proved a better
mudder than the field and
sloshed to the championship 10
years ago. Willie Hunter, the
willy Scot stylist and host pro,
has toughened an already diff
cult course since those days, and
it will take champion to beat
its par 35-36-7l.
Today's field numbered 1913
as a result of the qualifying
round three days ago.
Little suffered an attack of
influenza earlier this week, and
has game dropped, but the long
hitting San Francisco man, who
won last year with 282, hopes
to be in the running. Every one
of the first 10 in last years
tournament were back in action
this year. Included were Clayton
Heafner, Olin Dutra, Jimmy
Hines and Thomson, Al Krue-
ger, Dutch Harrison, Tony
Penna, Matt Kowal and the am
ateur ace, Johnny Dawson.
