CALIFORNIA GAL RATED AS "NEW ALICE MARBLE"
Louise BrOugh, at l0 AI- ready Is Outstanding
 at Tennis

Manchester, Mass, Aug. 17.-(UP) National Junior Girls titlist, was hailed today as another Alice Marble after defeating top-seeded Pauline Betz of Los Angeles, 6-3, 1-6, 6-3, in the final of the Essex County Club women's invitation tennis tourna- ment.
 The victory III yesterdays play marked the second time this season that the blonde Miss Brough from Beverly Hills, Cal, has whipped Miss Betz, the nations second- ranking player, in a tournament final. The other conquest was last week in the eastern grass court championship at Rye, N. Y. The triumph also was the fourth conse- cutive major tournament win of the season for the University of South ern California sophomore.
 We'll Done
 The sturdily built Miss Brough won the first set handily but seemed to tire quickly in the second. How ever, she gained the lead in the seventh game of the third set In a long deuce game and then went on to sweep the match handily with a series of steaming net kills.
 By her victory, the youthful Californian proved herself a prob able successor to Mrs. Sarah Pal frey Cooke as the national cham pion. Miss Betz defeat marked the third time she has reached the fln- als of 1942 tournament only to be eliminated.
 The top-seeded tandem of Miss Brough and Margaret Osborne of San Francisco won their second title in as many days by defeating Miss Betz and Doris Hart, 17-year- old Miami (F4a) high school senior, in the nfial of the eastern grass court doubles championship, 6-1, 10-8. The match had been post poned at Rye, N. Y. last Sunday. They also had won the Essex dou- bles crown yesterday.

United Press Staff COrrespondent)

United Press Staff Correspondent)
 New York, Aug 17-(UP)-Unless the war department grants permis- sion this week for Corp. Joe Louis to defend his crown against privates Billy Conn or Melio Bettina, finger ing hopes of staging a big outdoor heavyweight title show for service relief this summer will be aban- doned.-
 Promoter Mike Jacobs has almost given up on the proposition already
 Contacted at his home in Rec Bank, N. J. last night, Jacobs said
 T haven't heard a word from the war department, and don't know whether it even considers letting Louis fight again. It's getting pretty late to put 1t across outdoors"
 He added hurriedly:
 of course 1t could always be held indoors"
 Jacobs emphasized that it requires about six weeks to stage an outdoor heavyweight title fight properly be- cause CD in fairness to the boxers, they should be given six weeks to train, and CD to assure the finan- cial success of show that must at- tract fans from all parts of the na- tion, six weeks of ballyhoo are needed.
 However" he said, with Louis meeting Conn or Bettina, the bout boys already are in good shape from might be put on in shorter time says three Weeks-because the three army training, and because the pub licity campaign could be unusually intense due to the relief angles"
 Before World Series
 But something definite must be done this week, Uncle Mike admit ted, if the bout is to be staged before the World Series, which opens the first week of October. To schedule the braWl after the series would be taking gamble with the weather. And now, at least, no one knows for sure whether the major league ad- visory council will extend the series beyond it's normal four of seven- game basis.
 Meanwhile Louis is completing his basic training at Fort Riley, KanS., working with cavalry horses instead of punching bags. Conn is training at Fort Wadsworth, N. Y, and southpaw Bettina at Camp Upton N. Y.
 If the war department does per init title fight, the financial angle will be extremely interesting. Will it be on strictly relief basis, with neither principal receiving any cut of the gate? or will Louis be per mitted to get the $117,000 he needs for back taxes?
 Champion Joe donated both purs- es of his last two fights-with Bud dy Baer and Abe Simon-to service relief. His handlers said Joe was glad to make these donations be- cause he had been assured by a certain high army official that he would be permitted to make a tax fight later.
 Tn Louis last title defense, he knocked out Giant Simon in the sixth round at Madison Square Gar den, March 27. Joe already was in the army then. having been induct- ed at Camp Upton. Jan. IA Immed- lately after the Simon tilt, Promo ter Jacobs virtually completed plans for a June bout between Louis and Conn, who had given the champion such a great fight last summer. But Conn broke his left hand on May 10 while battling his father-in-law John L. Smith, at Pittsburgh. The

SAVOLD B OVER
 MUSTO TONIGHT

Washington, Aug. 1T = UP0 = Tony Musto of St. Louis, Mo, and Lee Savold of Des Moines, Ia., meet in their scheduled 10-rounder at Griffith Stadium tonight after two postponements and the chunky Missourian hopes to make up for lost time by scoring @ quick knock out.
 A 2-3 underdog, Musto expects to enter the ring at 2O2 pounds, some 10 pounds heavier than the number two contender for Joe Louis heavy weight crown.
 I'm going to get to him early. Musto predicted "and see what makes him tick.'
 Savold won the role of favorite chiefly because of his knockout vic- tory over Lou Nova here in May. He entered that fight decided un- derdog but proceeded to give the disciple of Yogi a sound shellacking The Iowa boy has won 19 straight fights since losing to Harry Bobo over year ago, and has become a favorite in Washington. He disposed of three opponents-Claudio Villar, Neville Beech and Nova-by knock outs in local arenas.
 It will be Musto's first scrap since losing a close decision to Taml Maurielo.
