TITLE SHOT DIM
FOR MEL BETTINA

CHICAGO. April II CUPD - Squat
Melio Bettina's hopes for a shot at
the heavyweight title in the near
future remained dim today despite
his decision over Booker Beckwith
last night.
Bettina, former world light heavy
weight champ, pounded out a 10
round decision over the lean Gary,
Ind, Negro last night
a crowd Of 11,497 fans paid S24,-
024 to see the Beacon, NY, Italian
start with a rush but fade after he
had BeckWith hanging on to avoid
knockout. The victory, however,
moved Bettina into position to meet
Bicycle Bob Pastor. perhaps in
the feature of an outdoor show here
in June
Beckwith was taken to a hospital.
where physicians said he had suf-
fered severe contusions of the left
lumbar region" of the back.

VINES TURNS PRO

LOS ANGELE, April il. CUP)-
Former Tennis Champion Ellsworth
Vines revealed today that he has
relinquished his amateur golf status
to become golf professional and
general manager of the Southern
California golf and country club
Vines, national amateur tennis
champion in 1881 and 1882 and world
titleholder in 1882, turned profess
sional and won the world pro title
in 1884, 1885 and 1896. Then he
turned his interest to golf and be-
came one of the best amateurs in
southern California.
The Southern California country
club is the former MidWick country
club, purchased recently at auction
by Dominic Jebbia, wealthy banana
merchant. His son. Norf, announced
yesterday that the club would open
as a public links course next We'd
neSday.

goods company retainers and private
lessons. Now, with the tournament
schedule curtailed, the boys lose
their royalties, they will lose their
retainer fees and they are certain
to lose many of their pupils. The
dub who is forced to swing an old
fashioned shinny stick instead of a
shiny club isn't apt to shell out
heavy sugar for private instructions
Looks like a mighty hard winter for
the Gypsies in 1943.
RACING-The horse track mogulS
have been notably reluctant to con-
tribute to the war effort and they
are entitled to no defense, but in
all fairness it should be remember
ed that in all but a few cases the
officials are being made the goats
of a situation which they are pow
erless to alter Tracks aren't owned
by the officials. They are owned
by stockholders. The average preSi-
dent is a mere hireling who has
little voice in the corporations bus
mess policy. For instance, Alfred
Gwynne Vanderbilt owns only en-
ough stock in Belmont Park TO
qualify for a directorship. He has
no power to donate his stockholders
funds without their permission.
John Clark is in the same position
at Hialeah Park. Ditto George Bull
at Empire City. Matt Winn can and
has given generously to the Red
Cross, but he is the master of his
own destiny and need ask nobody
for a green light. It's shame the
public can't get a peek at the stock
ownership lists SO we could roast
the proper parties.
BOXING-DeWey Fragetta is off
to the wars, but one of the oldest
companies in sports will do business
almost as usual at the same old
Times Square stand. Fragetta was
| head of the biggest booking agency
in boxing. A promoter in need OF
an attraction merely dialed Circle
5-9807 in New York and F'ragetta
supplied such fighters as Buddy
Knox, Johnny Flynn, Henry Cooper,
Pete DeruZZa and Bobby Britton.
He has arranged as many as POT
bouts a year and shipped boxers
all over the world. Fragetta has en-
listed in the army, but the company
will be directed by Lew Meyers, his
assistant until the supply of boxers
gives out,
