Todays S Sport Parade

NEW YORK, May (UP)-It's
advertised as fight for the middle
weight championship of the world,
but to hear them talk in leather
fist lane today you would think it
was a debate on the value of high
eeducation.
MiddleWeight Champion Ken Ov-
erlin, who distrusts any man cap
able of solving an algebraic equation,
defends his title in Madison Square
Garden tonight against Billy Soose.
the pride of Penn State university
soft-spoken young man who al
legedly can parse a sentence and
list the states washed by the waters
of the Mississippi
FootWork, jabs, left hooks and
the other factors usually invovled
in a pugilistic encounter have been
ignored by the gladiators. Overlin's
pre-battle statement consisted of
one terse, snarling sentence, TO wit:
mo college bum ever lived that
can lick me-"
Predicts Victory
Putting a cap-and-goWn summa
cum laude expression on his face,
Soose replied in well-turned prose:
1T is no disgrace to be a college
boxer. I will win the midleweight
championship tonight"
Overlins antagonism toward book
larnin' is matter of long standing,
and he has been extremely resource
full in avoiding exposure to it. His
formula was to get into cocktail
lounges and night clubs and remain
there until school was out-even
night school. The only degree that
ever increased him was the 30-de-
gree list that is necessary in the
proper execution of the conga. Not
since the days of the late Harry
Greb has there been fighter who
could stay up so late so often and
still put up a good fight in the ring.
In addition TO being tainted with
higher education, SooSe has long
been fresh air, milk and early-to-
bed-and-early- to-rise man. That
makes him an accessory both before
and after the fact so far as Overlin
is concerned, and when the middle
weight champion learned the de-
tails he took drastic steps. He de-
cided 10 do some serious training,
figuring tnat he had done enough
night-clubbing in the past to keep
his average up TO a respectable
level.
So that's what he has been doing
and as soon as the secret got out
Soose was made a 8 TO favorite.

Senator'S Speed
Beats Oakland,
Portland Loses
BY UNITED PRESS

Old Oscar Witt, pilot of the Port
| land Beavers, said a mouthful when
he noted that Sacramento has the
fastest club in the Pacific coast
| league on the bases.
THE third base coach gets a
sore arm from waving runners from
first to third on a single he said.
The Senators gave Oakland a
demonstration of their speed last
night when they romped home with
an to 3 win over the Acorns.
Bobby Blattner, second baSeman,
got a walk in the eighth inning and
stole second, and third, and home.
He stole four bases during the
evening.
Tom Ananincz, the Acorn's newly
acquired left-hander, was no mys-
terry to the Solons. Thew jumped on
him for six runs in the third inning
during which Chet Weczorek homed
with two men on. Don Gutteridge
and Sparky Adams collected triples.
George Munger turned in fourt
hit performance for Sacramento,
his second of the season. The Acorns'
only runs came in the second on
two hits, two walks and an error.
Larry Jansen, young San Fran
cisco right-hander, turned in his
fourth consecutive win last night
as the Seals beat Portland, 6 to 2.
He gave the Beavers only seven hits.
Seattle evened its series with San
Diego, winning 9 to l with a sixth
inning splurge. With the score at
1-all in the fifth, Al Niemic homered
over the left field wall.
Los Angeles dubbed five Holly
wood pitchers to win, 10 to 8, but
had narrow squeak when Holly
wood drew within one run of the

work he has done at camp for the
last three weeks or the exercise
he has been getting on mahogany
dance floors for the last 10 years.
Anyway, it's Overlin's legs that
probably will decide the fight. He
is plenty clever in non-academic
sort of way and if his legs will let
him keep moving at lively pace
for Is rounds he may win.
On Short End
If he begins to tire, however,
Soose is likely to hit him with a
Phi Beta Kappa right and clout
him SO hard that Overlin will 60
to sleep and have a nightmare in
which he is being forced to take
postgraduate course in philoso-
ply at Harvard.
It's unusual for a champion to
go into title fight on the short
end of the betting, but everything
involving middleweights is unusual
these days. Actually Soose and Ov-
erlin are fighting for only one-half
of the middleweight title. The Ma.
tional Boxing association recognize.
Tony Zale as champion. Overlin is
champion only in the few states af-
filiated with the New York boxing
commission.
But that is good place to be
recognized because most of the bic
gates are available here in New
York. And if there is anything
Overlin hates worse than a college
education it is skinny gate.
