JONES 50 TO 1
 LONCSHOT FOR
 MASTERS MEET
Snead, Nelson 7.l Top Choices to Win Famous
 Annual Golf Test

Augusta, Ga. April S-(UP)--The golfing masters begin their V2-hole argument with par over one of the worlds great courses today, but dominating the show Is the man who wrote the grand slam saga more than decade ago.
 The Sneads. Hogans, Nelsons. Mt- ties and all of the contemporary golfing greats are here to battle for the eighth annual Masters champ ionship and one Of them will win 1t, but he still will be secondary to Bobby Jones.
 The masters has become known as Bobby Jones' tournament because this Is his single appearance each year in competitive golf. The name of any other man could not have made this comparatively youthful tournament rank along with nation. al championships in the estimate of tho golfers who play in them.
 There will be better golf played by others today, but the big part of the crowd viii be following "Mr. Golf"
 No dark horse ever has won the Masters and there are 10 men, head ed by Sam Snead and Byron Nei. son at lei. who are separated by only three points In the official bet. ting odds. It Is @ long course, $500 yards with 6 36.3e-72 par, and the bettors believe snead's power- full wood shots and Nelson's long irons may spell the difference. Also, 1t was this pair who sold for the most in the Calcutta pool last night --$l 200 and $i ,250 respectively.
 Long-driving Ben Hogan, ifloney winning titlist last year, and pac. ing the parade by big margin this year, and National Open Champion Lawson Little command the next best price ct Bel. A half dozen oth. CTS headed by defending cham pion Jimmy Demaret are grouped at 10-l. The bookies estimate of Jones' chances is reflected in their 60-i quotation.

LITTLE FELLOWS FEATURE RING
 CARD AT BUCK
Negro Light.Heavyweights in Semi.Final; Brown
 Meets COnklin
BY HUGO HO0KJAB

Little fellows and big fellows, me. dium -sized lads and cruiserweights, as the English call light-heavies in the boxing game, will have Q part in tonight's Waterbury A. c. i've bout professional program at Buck ingham hall. Prior to the fights, the main bout and semi-flnal go are most interesting, if only for the sake of comparison of size, weight and color.
 Dom Fiantini, from Reading. Pennsylvania and Harry Gentle of Haratford, Connecticut are paired in the eight round main bout which shapes up as most promising in view of Fiantini's win over New Haven Johnny Compo, Q lightweight, rated one of the best in Connecticut. Fi- antini, who fights at 130 pounds can make the featherweight limit. while Gentle, too has grown from Q crackerjack amateur featherweight into Q professional lightweight who has had some classy opposition for the past two years, including Julie Kogon, Bernie Friedman, Joey Archibald, Maxie Shapiro, Allie Stoltz and Al Reid, of New York.
 Both boys are rated highly pleas- ing "club" fighters and while no world champions are matched well enough to provide what may be e thrilling glove duel, as those who have seen Gentle know him to be quite Q ringster and Fiantini has ale ready shown his class, and is very much of e known quantity.
 Slugeroo
 Tn the semi. final bout. two hard. hitting negroes, Art McAlpine of Springfield and Leo Everett of New York who have met in this city once before, may provide another short but snappy bout, as McAlpine got off the floor twice to stop Everett in the second round, the last time they met at Buckingham hall.
 Six round bouts are scheduled tc show Billy Brown, consistent mid- dleweight from this city, managed by M. oenaro, and e boy who ha, not been defeated in quite some time. He will show against Billy Conklin, promising New Haver negro with Q kayo wallop, who, like Gentle, was fine amateur boxer { few years back. Brown will he fav. ored to outpoint Conklin - if ht isn't knocked out before the sixel goes the limit. ..
 In another prelim. little Earl Royl of Bristol now featherweigh' takes on Danny Russell of Camden N. J., while the opening four round- CT brings together Rocky Devens the Town Plot cheering section for Eddie Dolan and Danny O'F1aherty of Winsted.
 All boxers were scheduled to weigh in at Mulligan's Restaurant this afternoon at 3 p. m. with the first bout tonight booked for 8:30 o'clock, as usual.
 The winner of the main bout be- tween Fiantini and Gentle has been promised another main go with Bobby Poison Ivy of Hartford as his opponent, if the match can possibly be arranged.

 for Stanley Cup

Boston, April 3-(UP)-The Bos- ton Bruins rule 2-l favorite to reach the final round of the Stanley Cup hoskey playoffs at the expense of the Toronto Maple Leafs tonight despite the physical condition of Winger Bobby Bauer and the fact that they already have dropped two decisions on home ice in this best of-seven series.

Bauer, who suffered c cut instep in the opener, sustained 0 badly- bruised shoulder late in the sixth contest and whether he will be Avail- able will not Do known until late today.

 The i55-pound wing, who Is re- garded as the brains of the. famed Kraut line and one of the gaSnest guys on skates. said he will play even if team physicians advise e. gainst 1t.
 T may as well keep right on going" he said. '~This is the game we've got to win. scored Tuesday and maybe I'll get another break like that"
 Bauer's shoulder has been given a series of heat treatments since the Bruins returned home late yes- terday. If he plays, he probably will wear q special shoulder pad. Rookie Pat McReavy will fill in if the doesn't.
 The Leafs were in good shape with the exception of banyed-up De- fensemen Jack Church and Bingo Kampnlan.
