GalentO Punched
 Into Final FiStic Oblivion By Baer
Jersey Fat Man Quits After Six Rounds Claiming
 Broken Hand
BY ERNEST BARCELLA

 Washington, April o-(UP)-Tony Galento waddled over the hill to the fistic poorhouse today.
 The last shove came from the hammering fists of Buddy Baer, who smashed Tony's flabby features into a crimson smudge last night and forced him to call 1t quits after six rounds
 Referee Eddie La Fond proclaim ed Buddy the winner on seventh round technical knockout when the roly-poly barkeeper refused to an- swer the bell, saying he had broken his left hand in the closing seconds of the previous heat.
 Tony claimed the break was a re- currence of one he suffered in his fight last summer with the elder member of the Baer boxing firm Max. District of Columbia Boxing commission Physician Marvin Me- Lean announced after preliminary examination that he did not believe Galento's hand was fractured. Money Held Up
 Tony goes to Hospital today for an X-ray examination to determine If there actually is @ break. Boxing commission members de- clined to say whether Galento would face suspension If the X-rays show no fracture. His purse was held up pending the X-ray examination.
 In any case, Tony had the better part of six rounds to prove himself with two sound hands before he de- cided to sit out the remainder of the scheduled Hereunder. Ring siders and most of the 5000 custo- mers agreed by voice vote that the only thing Galento had proven was that he's all washed up as @ fighter.
 Galento screamed after the fight that he's good as ever and would take on Buddy again on a "winner take all" basis. But Buddy set his sights on a midsummer shot at Joe Louis heavyweight crown.
 One look at Tony convinced ring siders that he was carrying too much fat into the ring. He came in at 247 pounds-mostly stomach and jowls. The much taller Baer carried 240 pounds that fitted him like tailor-made suit.
 Tony shot his bolt in the first round, connecting with & couple solid left hooks that jared Buddy but left him unbowed.

delphia Phillies in the deal that bought Clyde Passeau to the Cubs Whateve possessed Chicago to dis card such a pitche has not come to light yet. Apparently Higbe needed lots of work and the Cubs could not afford to spend the time giving 1t to him. The Phillies used Hibge as often as he was able and that was just what the youthful right handler needed.
 He has developed into one of the National Leagues star pitchers Last year with last-place club, he won IA and lost 19 and led the lea que in strikeouts with 137. In 1888 he won 12 and lost IS for the same outfit.
 Durocher hasn't as yet lined up his complete starting staff but has gone on ecord as saying that Whit low Wyatt and Higbe will be his two best bets. They are expected to serve the Dodgers as capably as the potent Cincinnati twosome of Paul Derringer and Buck Walters.

 St. Louis, April g -(UP)- They grow tougher by the month for Bomber Joe Louis.
 In the midst of a 'victim- a -month' campaign among the lesser lights of the heavyweight division, he ran into tough Tony Musto of Chicago last night and went into the ninth round before his devastating attack finally cause d Referee Arthur Donovan to halt the slaughter.
 But the cheers of 17,456 spectators were all for Musto, a comparative unknown, who absorbed a terrific beating and asked no quarter, No matter how often Louis smashed his open target he was unable to score knockout.
 Donovan finally ended the bout after one minute, 36 seconds of the ninth round, when Musto battered and bleeding, was unable to see the champion.
 Game" Loser
 Like huge Abe Simon, who stayed on his feet long after the experts had expected him to fold up, Musto still was forcing Louis when the end came.
 It was the fifth successful defense in as many months for Louis and he will attempt another one in May against Simon. Either Bill Conn or Lou Nova will get a shot at the Bomber in June.
 Tn all, Louis has defended his title 16 times since he won 1t by knocking out James J. Braddock in June, 1897.
 Although the outcome was a fore- gone conclusion, Promoters Mike Jacobs and Tom Packs reported a total gate of $52,993. It was a rec- ord boxing crowd for St. Louis.
 Joe had the fight all his own way except for a few moments when Musto, by sheer bullishness, man. aged to break through and land telling blows. Louis received a nick or two on the face and his nose was bleeding slightly at the end. Other- wise he was unhurt.
 Louis had trouble finding the range on the squat challenger and was puzzled for a time by Musto's bobbing style. There was only one knockdown. In the third round, Louis slammed home Q left hook that sent the challenger to the can- vas. He was up before Donovan could begin his count
 One Good Round

Pond Rumored
 New Bates Coach

Lewiston, Me-, April 9 -(UP)- Choice of Raymond w. (Ducky) Pond, former head coach at Yale, as mentor of the Bates college foot ball team, was reported unoficially today.
 President Clifton D. Gray de- clined to comment on the report that the faculty committee on ath- letics had recommended to him the appointment of Pond who was dropped by Yale in January after six-year career. Athletic Direc- tor Ernest M. Moore was out of town and could not be reached for confirmation or denial.
 Yale's final season under the tutelage of Pond was it's most dis astrous since the college entered gridiron competition in 1872. The Ellis won only one of eight games.

 New Yok, April 9-(UP)-Current spring training headlines like Hugh Casey flashes winning form for the Brooklyn Dodgers" and "Kirby Higbe figured to win 20 for Brooklyn this year" must furnish the Chicago Cubs with bitter pill.
 It was only short while ago thNt both pitchers began their major league careers with the Cubs and then through some flaw were al- lowed to slip away to other clubs.
 Casey started with Chicago six years ago, spent an entire season. mostly on the bench-with the Cubs and then went to Birmingham in a deal for an outfielder named Coaker Triplett. The records fail to locate Triplett right now but Casey has become more valuable than 10 such putfielders.
 In Forefront Now
 The big right handler won only Il games last year and IS in 1889 but near the top of Brooklyn's starting 8n his present form he is ranked pitchers. His control has been little off but most of his stuff has been good.
 Two of his most recent pitching chores have put him down in Man. ager Leo Durocher's book as good prospect for the coming season. Casey pitched ten innings against Cincinnati and St. Louis, two of the National Leagues most for xhidable entries.
 In his four-innings workout Ngainst the Cards, he wasn't scored Whe Cards had scoring opportunit- jes but Casey stopped them from making anything of them.
 Against Cincinnati, Casey was dipped for three runs and four hits Nut no two safeties came in the same inning. Two of the runs came "a walk and e homer by Billy Ferber. Tn any major league park.

SANTA CLAUS UNMASKED

Current plans now call for raising
S., 000,000,0 900 or more per year through
new taxes and increases in existing
taxes. And this is but a start-we
cont build and maintain a twenty or
thirty billion dollar military defense
establishment on deficits
The next unacceptable step will be to
assess direct taxes against a larger
proportion of our population. That
has already been done to a minor eX-
tent, through reductions in Federal
income tax exemptions approved by
the last Congress. The new Congress
will have to go to much greater
lengths in this direction to raise
needed revenue.
The old theory that we can support
the government, no matter how costly
it is, by the easy eXpedient of soaking
the rich, is at last exposed. The rich
and this goes for industries, no less
than for individuals = have about
reached the limit of their ability to
pay, without bringing business to a
standstill. New revenue, in large
amounts, can be raised now only by
going after those whose incomes fall
in the middle and lower brackets.
This will give millions of people
their first real and personal knowledge
of the stake they have in government
spending and government debts. 1t
will show them who, in the long run,
Santa Claus is, and why thrift in
government is as indispensable as
thrift in the home. Indirect taxation,
no matter how heavy, is hidden from
and unknown to majority Of the
people. 1t is direct taxation that hurts.
When you get statement from the
Bureau of Internal Revenue telling you
to remit five or ten or fifty dollars you
begin to understand that your interest
in the cost of government is just as
your interest in the cost of groceries
or rent or clothes.
We are to have taxation on scale
we never dreamed of. The shock will
be good for us. We will take a new
interest in "our" government as we
learn that we are Santa Claus.-In-
