ry the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, May 3.-Apparently
Fritzie Zivic's performance against
Mike Kaplan in Boston couple of
weeks ago was Just one of those
let-downs that can affect a busy
fighter. At least, Zivic fought an
entirely different scrap against Tony
Marteliano at the Coliseum last
night and from the looks of his
program he'll have to keep on fight
ing differently for the next couple
of months.
Fritzie has two more bouts sched-
uled this month, an overweight af-
fair against Phil Furr of Washing
ton at Philadelphia May 13 and a
title defense against young Freddie
(Red) Cochrane of Elizabeth, N. j.,
at Newark May 26.
Davis Bout to Aid Army.
A month later he's due to take
on AL Dummy Davis, who once
was expected by many to lift the
welterweight crown off the zivic
head.
Davis, suspended for fouling Zivic,
was reinstated yesterday for a 12-
round bout against Fritzie at the
Polo Grounds June 25. Davis, now
in the Army at Fort Hulon, Tex,
will be given a month off to get
ready for the bout and Promoter
Mike Jacobs promised the Army
relief fund will benefit by at least
$4,000.
Of last nights performance, Zivic
should get through this strenuous
program safely.
Bell Saves Marteliane.
He gave the willing but unskilled
Marteliano a boxing lesson and a
body beating and then left him
draped over the ropes as the result
of a tenth-round assault. A series
of smashes to the head, the last a
terrific right uppercut, put Tony on
the canvas once. He couldn't fight
back after he got up, but when he
fell on the ropes he was able to
cling to them for two seconds until
the bell ended the bout.
1t wasn't a very profitable affair
for Zivic, except to restore his
prestige, as only 4,100 customers
turned out, paying s6,361.55 to see
the show.

Central Wins in Ninth.

A last-inning rally also won for
Central over Anacostia after it ap-
peared the Vikings were to be the
victims of an upset. The Indians
were off to flying start in the first
with four runs on two passes and
four singles, but Central got back
three in its half of the frame. The
game worked to the last inning with
Anacostia leading, 7-6, and needing
only to retire the Vikings to have a
victory. But Paul Fuoco opened the
inning with single and moved up
on Lenny Citrembaums sacrifice
Zello Lagos singled to center and
took second on Hayden's unSuccess-
full attempt to catch Fuoco at the
plate. Then Sam Di Blasi ended the
game with smoking line drive that
ricocheted off Pitcher Elmer Leuk-
hardt's glove into centerfield for a
single that scored Lagos.

Georgetown Universitys cham
pionship golf team, virtually untried
so far against first class opposition,
drew its battle lines today against

The Georgetown team, coached by
Tony Sylvester of Bannockburn, en-
tered two matches against Pennsyl-

to take on three opponents.
