b. SID FEEDER.
Associated Press Sports Writer.

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-Among
other things. Ernie Vigh, the cement
chinned clouter from upstate,
learned how to knock another guys
ears down the same way your kid
sister Mamie learned her piano
lessons-by practicing in the front
parlor.
A Joe Palooka-i -iSh looking fellow,
Ernie is only a couple of hurdles
away from shot at Ken Overlin's
world middleWeight championship.
He goes to work on one of these
barriers by tangling with Billy Soose,
the glamour boy from Penn State
College. in a 10-rounder tomorrow
night in Madison Square Garden.
The winner tackles Overlin in mid
March
Not Good for Ceiling.
Vigh was just a 10 or II year old
kid when he got the idea he'd like
to take up the trade of humping
chins. His older brother, Julius, a
fair light heavyweight at the time,
helped Ernie out by hanging a
punching bag from the ceiling Of
the parlor in their home at New
burgh, N. Y.
Mama didn't like that very
much Ernie recalled today. I'D
stand on a soap box so I could
reach the bag and Id throw punches
at it. There were times I'd let a
good. solid one 60 and the plaster
on the ceiling began to show signs
of wear and tear. Id have to
disappear fast then"
Nevertheless, this living-room
larruping probably is what de-
veloped Ernies ability to do strange
things to his opponents. He's the
kind of a fighter about whom the
Jacobs beachcombers say, Hell
stiffen anybody he hits"
Ernie Knocks Out S6.
To date, he's had 50 pro fights
in his two -and-one-ha years as a
pro and has knocked out So rivals,
10 of them in one round. He has
lost only three decisions. but one
of his conquerors, Larry Kellum, was
fattened in a return go.
This knocker-outer talent, plus his
ability to absorb punches to his
chin. as successfully as a sponge
can be dunked in coffee, are his
strong fortes in the ring. A few
weeks ago, for instance, he met one
Coley Welch from Maine in the
Garden. For three rounds WEIGH
measured his man and pitched shots
at Ernie's chin. with no more effect
than a feather duster. Then Vigh
came on and won going away.

Man Will GroppIe
AIIiqotor Here

A wrestling bout with an alli-
gator, fight with a swordfish
and an underwater heavyweight
boxing match are among the
events planned for the annual
water show and carnival of the
District Chapter of the Ameri-
can Red Gross on February 13,
IA and Is at the Shoreham pool.
David Ross of Florida, whose
fights with alligators have been
featured in the newsreels, will
put on his act here. Also COM
ing from Florida will be the
swordfish, which five of Wash
ington's best swimmers will try
to corner.
Other high spots on the show
will be a war between miniature
battle fleets, monsters dropping
from the ceiling, spectators jump
ing into the pool in full evening
dress, clowns, fancy divers and
formation swimmers.

Columbus Mends Ring Fences
For Arkansas Tech Match

Mcnamara also hoped to replace
Stout-hearted Elmer Jacobson with
Buddy Lyons in the 145-pound
bracket because of the formers
inability to train properly. His daily
chores, plus classroom work, have
conspired to keep Elmer out of the
gym. but Lyons has frequented the
place even less because of illness.
Arkansas Tech dope has been kept
as secret as a State Department
code, but the Southwesterners
usually come up with a fair-to-
middling team and Mcnamara is
afraid they'll middle" too much with
his boys for the good of their health.
Evening star., 1941-02-06

All the shake-ups aren't in Cuban
politics. For confirmation see Coach
Jim Mcnamara, who is busy trying
to fit together the pieces of his
Columbus University boxing team
for its match with Arkansas Tech
Saturday night at Turner's Arena.
Mcnamara virtually is certain to
send two newcomers to the post to
help the Explorers bag their first
victory of the campaign. That 4-4
tie with The Citadel last week didn't
sit so we'll with the mentor. but that
isn't the cause of the proposed
shuttle.
Injuries are to blame. Frank
Cuddy, whose eye was chopped up
by the Bulldogs Dick Ulrich, isn't
likely to be ready by Saturday. If
not. Max Coe will lace on the mittens
and pinch-hit for him. And there
is possibility that Stringbeany Jim
McAleer, 19-year-old heavyweight,
will get the call over Ray Weir in
a straight change with no injury
involved. Master McAleer simply
seems to be the better battler.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla, Feb
6.-The annual titanic exhibition of
golf In the raw between the coun-
try's baseball heroes begins in a
burst of strong language at the
Jungle Club course here today.
Nothing much is at stake except
a good looking statuette and a lot
OF fairwayS equipment, but Paul
Derringer didn't bear down harder
trying to strike out Billy Sullivan in
the last World Series than he will in
trying to outStay the Detroit
catcher for the next four days. The
boys take their golf seriously and
controversially, both.
Today there is an 18-hole qualify
ing round. with the low 80 diamond
divotees entering the championship
flight of match play starting tomor-
row and winding up in a volcanic
36-hole final on Sunday.
The dominating figure of the
tournament and the man every ball
player dreams of trimming is Yves
Ferrell, the former Cleveland, Wash
lngton and way-stops pitching ace.
Yves wears glasses now and his right
arm has lost its zing, but he's a
tough golfer.
FOxx Is Tourney Host.
There have been five previous
tournaments and 'Ferrell has won
three OF them, including the last
two. The only ones to break through
on him were Sammy Byrd in 1887
and Paul Waner in 1888. Byrd is a
professional now, but Waner Is here
with bells on.
The host is none other than jim
my Foxx of the Boston Red Sox, one
of the all-time hitting greats and
considerable of golfer. Jimmy
leases and runs the Jungle Club
course. They say he is losing money
on 1t, but, still, it isn't every ball
player who has the distinction of
operating his own golf course.
Unfortunately, perhaps, the tour
nament has lost a little Of the fine.
ripe flavor 1t possessed up to two
years ago. Our athletes used to
fight it out strictly catch-as-catch-
can, with every man for himself and
almost any hole good for an argu-
ment that smoked. But the BOYS
became refined last year and brought
in George Jacobus, former presi-
dent Of the P. G. A., to act as referee,
and it wouldn't be surprising to hear
a sample conversation like this the
next few days:
Il say, old man. didn't you move
the ball about feet forward in i'm
proving your lie that time? Pardon
me If I'm wrong"
by Jove, maybe you're right pal
I guess my mind was wandering. or
something. Thanks for calling it
to my attention, pal"
Umpire Won't Lose Cent.
For all this refining influence
Jacobus draws no salary and, in fact,
came out little in the hole a year
ago. A ballplayer ordinarily is not
a very fast man with dollar. But
the fellows have agreed to see that
George doesn't lost a cent this time,
much as they naturally are repelled
at the thought of paying an umpire
out OF their own pockets.
If Ferrell is to be dethroned. 1t
might be by Derringer, who carried
him two extra holes in the semi
finals last winter: by Jack Russell.
the former American and National
League pitcher, who lost to the
champion, 2 and 1. in the 1910 finals,
or by Merv Shea, the Detroit coach,
who now and then shoots in the
COS and is the real dark horse of
the meet.

First Salmon
 Caught; But

The first salmon caught in Cas- tineau Channel this year, and prob- ably the first red salmon hooked on halibut grisle in this area was landed late Saturday afternoon when Dean Goodwin, newly arrived pilot for the local airways com- pany, brought a sulky sockeye to the surface off the seaplane ramp near the ferry, landing. The fish weighed exactly one pound, in- cluding can and label which proudly proclaimed that the pilot fisherman's catch was sockeye sal- mon.
 Goodwin had been fishing all forenoon for sole and halibut, and had changed his bait to halibut grisle, something that. would stay on the hook. Then came his first bite. He was pulling up the line when he felt the tug. Gently he pulled his catch to surface and found that it was merely second- hand Someone had caught this fish before.
 The hook had caught in the seam on the lid of the, can, and Good- win had caught on to a poInd of sockeye salmon.
