TALUN TACKLES
 MORGAN TONIGHT

New Britain, May 23,-Wladyslaw Talun of Poland and Big Ben Mor- gan of Texas, two of the biggest of today's heavyweight wrestlers, will clash tonight ct the Stanley Arena in the feature bout on Lou Viscusi's weekly mat card. Although each man has appeared here three times this city and has won on each occasion, this will be the first time that they have grappled with each other. Tal- un has wins over Tommy Rice, Dick stahl and Lord" Albert Mills while Morgan, in recent weeks, has bowled over Mills, Leo Numa and Panta loon Manlapeg. However, ih oh Of these matches, the big fellows have had a rather easy time because, in comparison to them, their opponents wehe mere striplings. Tonight, against each other, 1t should be q vastly different story. Tho bout will go to the best two out of three falls.
 Three 30 minute. time-limit bouts constitute the undercard. In the semi final, George Macricostas, the "Qolden Greek" meets George Tim othy Linnehan, Boston Irishman, and this should be crammed with action.
 Tn one of the other two, Leo Numa will meet Lord" Albert Mills, the genteel Englishman. In the cur- tain raiser, Harry Finklestein, New York Hebrew, meets Frank valois, Frenchman from sherbrooke. Can.
 The first bout tonight Is scheduled to start ct 8:30 o'clock.

S. Army Draft May Spoil Pennant Chances Of White So,
Rhode Island State
 Track Team Favored Over Holy Cross

Cambridge, Mass, May 2S-(UP) A well-balanced Rhode Island State team that has won five straight dual meets by lopsided scores was favored to dethrone de- lending titlist Holy Cross as the two-day New England intercollegiate track championships opened today at Briggs field.
 Holy Cross Crusaders who gained the title last ear with less than point margin over Rhode Island were rated stronger in the track events, but the Rams have an eX- ceptional array of fleld-event per- formers.
 In the past five years, Holy Cross and Rhode Island have monopolized the competition. Holy Cross won in 1886 and 1890 while in between Rhode Island scored triple tri- umph.
 Experts predicted that new marks would be set in the high and low hurdles, discus and possibly the 100- yard dash with favorable weather. ....-
 Edward Dugger, lithe- -limbed Tufts negro, was picked to defend in both hurdle events, but probably will de- fault his century sprint title because of leg "kink" suffered on the eve of the Penn relays last month.

Unpopular Decisions Portland, Fall River;
 Eskew, Kaplan Win

Portland, Me. May 23-(UP)- John Henry Eskew, l57 3-4, promis- ing Brockton, Mass, Negro, was awarded an unpopular split deci- sion over Eddie Guerra, 1853, of New York in a i0-round bout last night. Guerra was effective in close but Eskew slowed him with looping lefts and rights.
 Off the Floor
 Fall River, Mass, May 23-(UP) New England welterweight cham pion Mike Kaplan of Boston closed strongly after twice being dropped to retain his sectional title by an unanimous decision over Freddy Camuso of Fall River In & l2-round bout last night.
 The challenger floored the recent conueror ofq Fritzie zivic for nine count in the first round with q right hook to the jaw and toppled him again in the seventh with a left to the chin. Kaplan outclassed Camuso from that point with flicking lefts and rights to face and body. Kaplan weighed l44, Camuso l45 1-2. The decision was unpopular with Camuso's home- town supporters.

Stengel "Sore";
 Shakeup In Store

Boston, May 2S-(UP)-The sev. enth-place Boston Braves were enroute home today from @ disas- trous road trip amidst persistent reports of trades and shakeupS.
 Manager Casey Stengel, soured by the teaYn's sad showing of three wins in il starts, was to confer with President Bob quinn on arrival. Prevailing trade winds linked the Braves with Cincinnati, Chicago and Philadelphia. none of whom boast c 300 record.
 stengel was anxious to strengthen the club behind the plate and at third base. He also contemplated returning bench-warrher Buddy Hassctt to first base and moving Babe Dahlgren to third. Both sebby sisti adn Henry Majeskl have flopped in attempts to cover the hot corner.

By HARRY FERGUSON limited Press Sports EditOrl

Washington, May 23.-(UP)-The odd thing about this giant named Buddy Baer, who has gathered up enough courage to shake his fist at the lightning tonight, is that he once gave up football because 1t was too rough. ....
 And right there, brethren, you have clue as to why nobody ex- cept the members of Buddy's imne. diate family give him much of 8 chance against Joe Louis when the heavyweight championship Is laid on the line at Grifflth Stadium. The big, amiable guy simply isn't mean enough and tough enough to get in there and do the job he has cut out for himself,
 Your agent does not know how hard the halfbacks hit the line when Buddy was left guard on the Piedmont, Calf, high school foot ball team, but he will make an af- fidaVit that 1t wasn't as hard as the thing that will hit him around 10 o'clock this evening. That would be Louis left hook to the head, a weapon that should be called to the attention of the gentlemen here who are devising ways and means of national defense.
 Too Rough
 Buddy was IT years old when he came home from football game with Q swollen nose and two black eyes. His mother urged him to quit football.
 "Okay," said Buddy, and he did
 The rest of his life has been like that. He has walked in the shadow of his brother Max, rejoicing at Max's triumphs and weeping over Max'S failures. Just as he put up no argument when he was told to quit football, 50 he has never put up an argument about much Of anything. Nature played a joke on him by giving him the body of 0 magnificent prize fighter and add ing the disposition of a happy-go- lucky kid who would rather sing baritone In quartet than fight fol a living.
 They've been trying to build a fire under him down here for a month, trying to supply fighting fury. They've reminded him of what a beating Max took from Louis and urged him to avenge that licking. They've told him to wir this enc for his young bride. They've dargled visions in front of his eye of fat bank accounts, fast cars and all the other luXurios that can b; commanded by the heavyweight champion of the world
 Has q Chance
 Whether 1t has done any good nc man can tell--not even Buddy him. self-until he and Louis and Referet Arthur Donovan are left alone In { pool of hot light this evening, l wouldn't even be worth mentionint except for the fact that Buddy alon of the fighters who have made III Louis bum of the month" parade really has q genuine chance to boa the Brown Bomber
 Hes the hardest puncher of th'
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-05-23

bunch and he has a long left jab that could kep him out of harm's way if he used 1t intelligently.. Sparring partners who have worked with both Max and Buddy say Buddy is the harder puncher of the two, and Max could sling dynamite so hard in his day that he once killed a man in the ring. Buddy straight while Max brings 'em up hits faster, too, because he punches from the floor in 6 roundhouse. One good right on the button would be all that is neded to put Buddy on the threshold of fame and for- tune.
 Start Slugging
 Your agent believes Buddy's best chance is to come roaring out of his corner throwing punches and keep throwing them until either he or Louis drops. Once he starts trys ing to be cute and box he Is go- ing to find his face full of leather and his ears full of the sweet sound of cukoos cooing while 6 far away voice tolls {" eight, nine, ten; the winner and still champion"
 There is suspicion abroad that Louis is going to try to shoot this one in par-about tttree or four rounds. Too many of the "bunfs of the month" have been sticking around too long and the Brown Bomber, for all his placid face and talk, has a fierce pride in his abil- ity as a craftsman. He issued an eve-of- -batttle statement which was 90 long for him that 1t practically constituted a filibuster. It was:
 'Ah think all win in about five rounds"
 Me, too, Joe.
