Montgomery of PhiIadel= phia Gets First Chance
 to Win Title

New York, May 21. - (UP) - When the boxing lights come on again in Madison Square Garden tonight after an absence of seven weeks, two Negroes will fight for the lightweight championship of the world for the first time in modern ring history.
 In that smoke -modulated patch of ring light, champion Beau Jack, ex-bootblack from Georgia, and Bob Montgomery, blacksmith's helper in Pennsylvania shipyard, will bat tie for pugilism's richest wartime crown.
 B. J. II to
 With Sergeant Joe Louis and other headline heavyweights in service, Young Beau Jack - riding string of 16 straight victories - is the big money fighter of our day And he is favored at 11-5 to keep the rings most coveted crown de- spite the proWess of the Philadel- phia challenger
 Jack, only p, is favored over his more experienced 24-year- old oppo- nent because of his speed and light ming fast jungle" reactions. But Philadelphia Bog is so well sup ported and so highly regarded that near-capacity crowd of 19,OOO and a gate of $90,000 is expected.
 Both were expected to come in just under the 135-pound limit.

NOVIK0FF NOW
 SEEKS BACK PAY'

Los Angeles, May 21.-(UP)-Lou Novikoff today confidently awaited word from the Chicago Cubs which would end his holdout.
 Its about all over but the play ing" he said T met 'em half way, more or less, and now I'm just wait ing to hear if they'll pay me from the start of the season."
 The big righthanded hitter had his bags all packed and will hop on train for the east tonight if the Cubs agree. Throughout his two months of idleness, he has said re- peatedly that ''the Cubs need me and need the Cubs"
 Novikoff said his demand for re- troactive pay was the only obstacle to complete agreement. On all other issues, he said, he came to terms last night after dickering all day with Clarence (Pants) Rowland president of the Los Angeles team who did the talking for the Cubs.
 Novikoff had been demanding a salary of $10000 while the Cubs had offered $6,000, $500 more than he re- ceived last year.

BY HARRY CRIMSON

New York, May 18.-Nobody else wanted Ellsworth Dahlgren as first baseman, so the PhillieS wind up with good shortstop. Stanley Ray mond Harris doesn't have to tell you that finding someone capable of playing the position as well would require considerable scouting,
 Bucky Harris is tremendously pleased with himself for having ob- tained Jimmy Wasdell from the Pirates and switching Babe Dahl gren to the short field.
 "It's the smartest move I've made in years,' smiles, the Old Boy Manager.
 Dahlgren acts like an athlete who has been stationed at short stop all his life, and, now that he is playing regularly, is batting in winning runs.
 "The toughest thing was getting accustomed to finger glove instead of a rst baseman's mitt," he ex- plains. When I wore a first base mans mitt, I caught the ball non- chalantly in the web. It took some practice to get used to catching a thrown ball and fielding grounds in the palm of my new glove"
 Making the long throw after go- ing to his right don't bother Dahl gren. He has an excellent arm, likes to throw.
 While Dahlgren's previous eXperi- ence at shortstop was confined to several exhibition games with the Yankees one spring, when Frank Crosetti and Bill Knickerbocker got injured, he was a third baseman on the sandlots around San Francisco Bay when Scout Bobby Coltrin picked up him up for the San Francisco Missions. He became a first baseman because the Missions were well fortified at third-with Joe Coscarart and others.
 Because the Newark club of 1937, which practically clinched the h. ternational rag by July 4, had Johnny Mccarthy at first, Dahl gren spent all that season at third. Only King Kong Keller with 1852 topped his .340 batting average. Joe Gordon was the second baseman on that outfit, which earned the right to manage Cleveland for Old Oscar> Ostracized Witt.
 Dahlgren says it's treat to be at job which keeps him so much in the game, and where he can see every ball the instant it is hit. Ere quently at first base, he points out, he couldn't see balls sliced off a right-hand hitter's bat until they were right on top of him with plenty of English.
 Getting the break on the ball is the most important item to a short stop, and Dahlgren is agile. Dahl gten is of average speed, swift enough to play shortstop.
 Lou Boudreau is slower than

Terranova, Morales To
 Box At Hartford

Hartford, May 21-The definite naming of Phil Terranova as a log ical contender for Willie Peps fea- therweight title by the New York Boxing Commission puts new light on Phil's Tuesday bout with Mario Morales at the Hartford Auditor ium.
 Here's the chance of lifetime for Mario, who at this stage has a better record than Phil did just be- fore he licked Lulu Costantino to skyrocket to the top list of challen- gers. It's possible short cut to fame and no one realizes that bet ter than the Cuban. He may fight away over his head and upset Phil.
 Terranova can ill afford loss which might rob him of his elimina- ton bout with Chalky Wright, the winner of which may meet Pep in a title fight.
 Thus Morales is in a position to throw monkey wrench into the plans of the New York crowd. It's a match that has Promoter Mike Jacobs of Madison Square Garden worried.
 For on June Terranova is slated to meet ex-champ Wright in the Garden. And in Morales Phil faces one of the hardest punchers among the lighter group of boxers. Though slightly above the bantamweight limit, Morales has fought others wieghing 130 or better in the main. It'll be a treat to face someone closer to his 120 or less poundage, for Terranoca scales around 124.
 But there's power behind those Mario fists. He knocked out Joe Aponte Torres with one punch, something plenty of legitimate fea therweights weren't able to do over hte full course of fight. And he's the first to knock out Gus Cohen Levine in the Garden no less, where Gus has fought nor times than any other in a year.

FEATHERWEIGHT CLASS
 MAY HAVE } CHAMPS

New York, May 21. - (UP) - The featherWeight boxing class soon may have more champions than at any other time in its long history, it appeared today.
 Hartford's Willie Pep. recognized as titleholder by the New York commission, will meet the winner of & June title bout between Chalky Wright of Los Angeles and Phil Terranova of New York.
 Sal Bartolo of Boston battles Pep in championship contest at Bos- ton on June 8, three days after the featherweight ruler signs to meet the Wright-Terranova survivor. The Bartolo-Pep struggle is recognized as title go by Massachusetts, but not by the New York commission.
 So-should Bartolo defeat Pep, he'll hold the Massachusetts yer sion of the crown, Pep will rule in New York and Jackie Callura of Hamilton, Ont, will reign as Na- tional Boxing Association king.

American Brass and Scovill Mfg girls put on the thriller-diller of the opening games of the Industrial Girls Softball league last night, Brass winning an II to 10 verdict with runs, hits and errors rather evenly distributed.

 Jo Taylor of American Brass hit two homers and a triple as pitcher Doris Shugrue gave Scovill eight hits. In the Benrus-WM game, Milly Buglione and Margaret Con- nor, rival pitchers, each allowed but five hits.

 Torrington undefeated in five val ley league games, has Gilbert of Winsted to beat tomorrow, but will have the advantage of it's home field.

Phillies Wind Up With Good ShOrtstOp; He's Real Reason for New Life in Philadelphia

Burnt Cory, and he is an accom- plished short fielder. Joe Cronin did a passable job for some times after he had taken on excess tonnage. Bobby Bragan, who played the posi- tion acceptably for the Phillies, is long while getting over ground.
 Babe Dahlgren is the principal reason why the Phillies look like a major league ball club for the first time since the last time they played to something other than empty seats.

Stars Meet Naugatuck Gays In Twilight Game At Hamilton Park Saturday Night

After defeating the Naugy Grays on their home field two weeks ago, by a score of 9 to 2, the Silver Stars will try to put this Home to Home Series on Ice, this coming Saturday night when they meet the Grays once again, but this time on their own territory This contest means lot to the Stars since they lost rough and tumble contest to the Enckors last Sunday, and if they are able to knock off the Grays it will boost them considerably. Be- cause after getting off to such a good start previous to last Sun days game, it was very discourag- ing to lose such a close ball game.
 In Sundays game the probable pitchers for the Stars will be Por- thai and DeLeo, a relief pitcher While for the Gray's the starting pitcher will probably be Lefty Donnavan. This game on Saturday will start at p. m. sharp. The Stars, however, expect to encounter much stiffer opposition from the Grays in Saturday nights game.
 The Stars would like to challenge all teams in the city to a con- test in. baseball, that is, any team in Intermediate or Senior League Brackets.
