SALICA EASILY
 DEFENDS GROWN
Bantam Champ Unanimous Winner Over Tommy
 Forts

Philadelphia, June i7.--(UP)-- Beetle.hrowed Lou @Alica, c cagey little fighting man when the chips are down, continued his reign today as bantamweight champion of the world after his second successful title defense against humping Tom- my Forte of Philadelphia.
 9alica took . 16-round decision before l4,B00 persons at Shibe Park last night. It was the Brooklyn vet- eran's fifth successful defense of the crown he regained last fall from deorgie Pace of Cleveland.
 The champion, usually 6 slow starter, got off fast and took the first three rounds on superior inc fighting. Forte showed his first signs of life in the fourth when he hnal- ly nailed the champion with c short right to the head. Two left hooks drove ealica to the ropes but the bell ended the round and Tiny Tim's championship hopes.
 Forte missed badly during the middle stages. He left loose with everything in the last two heats but Salica, whose jahs nearly had closed one Of Forte'S eyes, had the situa. ton in hand. He danced around Torte's desperate blows and gained Q unanimous decision.

Ex.Yankees Crash the Headlines Now and Then, But New Workers Haven't Let Much Real Good Talent
 00 to Perform Great Feats Elsewhere
BY HARRY CRIMSON LIZA Service Sports Editor

Joe Mccarthy gets q wallop out of headlines such as: "Dahlgren, Ex- Yankee, Hits Home Run."
 But Morse Joe stresses the fact that he doesn't see them too often,
 Bili Werber of the Reds Is the most accomplished ex-Yankee, and I'd Harrow got 6 good price for the third baseman when he moved to the Red Box. So did Connie Mack when Werber was switched to Cin- clnnati to help the Reds to tive National League pennants and world championship before pulling up with water on the knee thiS trip
 Mccarthy got Monte Pearson and Steve Sundra from Cleveland for Johnny Allen. After getting cons siderable pitching out of them, the Yankees sold Pearson to the Reds and sundra to Washington, Allen dropped down to the Browns. Oral Hildebrand, who failed to stand up even with the Yankee support, IS with St. Paul
 Bump Hadley was well along when the Yankees took him. He got no. where with the Giants, but seemed to take new lease on life with the Athletics. E
 Wait Judnich did well with the Browns last season, but never was on the Yankee roster. He was noth- ing more than Q farm hand.
 Mccarthy was first to feel that l3an Chapman wasn't c good team man, and Myril Hoag was run.o'- mine in New York and St. Louis. Bill Knickerbocker was just . filler- inner with the Yankees. Joe Glenn is with Louisville.
 Getting back to Dahlgren, Me- Carthy professes to believe the Yan- Isees are better fortified at first base with Johnny Stun, though the St. Louis ieft-hander does not smack the ball ss far as the Babe and lot of close observers dougt that he covers as much ground.
 Mccarthy Is still toying with the idea of moving Tommy Henrich from right field to first base. Hem rich wears 6 first baSeman's nnitt iSi practice to become accustomed to it, just in case. There is also talk of Mike Chartak, Q converted out- fielder, being recalled from Kansas City.
 Dahlgren is hitting no more than .22O for the Braves. That isn't the kind of hitter the Yankees want.
 Joe Mccarthy IS right.
 The Yankees haven't let much good material go to perform re- markable feats elsewhere.

ENGLISH DERBY RAGING SCENE
 AT NEWMARKET
Usual Crowd of 1000, 1000 People Cut to 30,OO0
 Due to War

The English derby, usually one of the worlds greatest sporting events and the occasion of a massed holi- day for I4ondoners, will be run for the 162nd time without on interrup- ton tomorrow but for the second straight year there wil be little rec semblance to the customary gay derby scene at Epson Downs.
 Shifted to this racing center last year because of Epsom's proximity to London and the accompanying danger of Q raid over such 6 mass of humanity, this marks the sixth time since Diomed won the first derby in l780 that war has brought the race to Newmarket. The race was run here during the four years of the World War.
 Although Derby day never was an official government holiday, parlia- ment has been known to adjourn for 6 day and factories and business houses have closed to allow em- ployes 10 attend the race. As Close as 1t ever could be estimated more than Q million spectators, includ- Ing the king and queen used to see the derby, but there scarcely will be more than the normal New market racing crowd of 30000, minus the king and queen, when the field of probably 2l colts goes to the post at 3 p. m. @ 0. m. EDT) to- morrow.
 Of course, the race itself con- forms to all of the usual Epson Derby conditions. It is Q milo and one-half for three-year old colts and fillies, the former carrying i26 pounds, the latter i2l. However, the probable field includes no fil- lies. Newmarket is Q faster course than Epson. Fred Darling's Pont LTvesque set the local derby record of 2:30 4.5 last year compared to the mark of 2:33 4-5 registered by the Aga Khan's Mahmoud ct Ep- som In 1o36.
 Lambert Simnel at present is Q firm 4.i favorite in the future books and probably will go to the post ct about that price in c not too brilliant field.
 Three women have four entries this year, including the second choice, Morogoro, owned by the Maharani Sabeb of Kolpahar. She Is making her debut in big time racing with the smallest colt In the field. Only two women owners have seen. their thoroughbreds led back to the winners circle in the history of the race.

LOUIS 2 TO I CHOICE TO STOP
 BILLY CONN
Even Money Challenger Doesn't Last 8 Rounds;
 Weight Secret
nY LACK CunDY

United Presw staff Correspondentj
 New York, June i7.~(UP)-Biliy Conn is in town, ready for tomorrow nights shot ct Joe Louis crown, but his weight SMl is c closely guarded secret.
 On the eve of this Polo Grounds battle, the suspicion increased that Pittsburgh Billy will weigh in closer to the light heavyweight limit of l76 pounds than to the 180 i1e alieg- edly has been registering ct Pomp- ton Lakes.
 His weight is being guarded, ap- the good "Mttle" man is not corgid- parently because . low figure for cred stimulating "box office". The same procedure was used when Georges Carpenter, the French or- chid man, fought Jack Dempsey 20 years ago. Carpenter sealed 172 and was kayoed ia four rounds.
 Before breaking camp yesterday ct Pompton, the chalienger's dee clined to put him on the scales publicly, and there was little likeli- hood that there would Dc any weigh- ing during today's final lifnbering exercises ct the Pioneer gym.
 Seeks Quick K. o.
 Meanwhile, Louis was doing his concluding exercises today in camp ct Greenwood Lake. Because of the champions desire for speed and ( quick kayo, 1t was indicated that he might weigh ifl ct less than 200 pounds for the first time since his return knockout of Arturo dodoy last June. Bomber Joe sealed 10D then. lie will break camp and drive into New York tomorrow, just in time for the noon weigh-in ceremonies.
 As the vanguard Of fans from the various cities particularly Pitts burgh-arrived in town, Promoter Mike Jacobs refused to predict the crowd and gate. However, from other sources, 1t was learned that the advance sale indicates 6 crowd of about 10000 and . gate of about $376, 900.
 Price maker Eddie Borden an- tlounced that the betting odds had heightened slightly. The bookies now gre laying 3 to 1 on c Louis victory and taking 3h to 1 against 1t. They are laying 2 to that jolting Joe registers q kayo, and taking 2N to against. They offer even money that Conn doesn't 60 eight rounds.
 Betting Heavy
 Borden said that c pientitude of Pittsburgh money is keeping the price short, rather than shy general confidence in the challenger. It is the biggest betting fight since tho ouiS-schmeling return match three years ago.
 Conn was In an excellent mood when he broke camp after gpars ring four rounds with two Pitts. burgh weiterweights. Just before leaving for New York he won more than 4700 in c card gGfne with some of his Pittsburgh friends.

 HARKINS BOUT.
Kaufman and Dulnlaine in Senli-Final at RIG Stadi.
 um Thursday

Feeling that the star bout is in c class by itself as e real ring attrac- ton, Waterbury A. c. promoters were equally confident that the ace ton leading up to the main bout will be all that is desired as the ten ringsters begin their leather-push- ing chores Thursday night at Ram dolph- Cloves stadium.
 All but one boxer of the entire card, featuring Irving Kay Kap- Ian, of Los Angeles and Wicky Har- kius of Philadelphia has been car- ried over from last week when the show was postponed because of threatening weather, will be on hand this week, according to reports at press hour today, Harry Bauman of New York to replace Ham Willough- by against Earl Roys of Bristol.
 Ready To Go
 Kaplan and Harkins are on edge for their eight round duel, which will probably make the winner a solid gate attraction during the next month or so in Waterbury and other parts of Connecticut. Tn the semi-f1nal go of six rounds at l35 pounds, Abe Kaufman of New York a stable-mate of Herkins and Leo Dulmaine of Worcester, Mass, are paired in what Is expected to be Q worthwhile battle.
