Wilson Guaranteed $1,000

And these better fighters cost more
money, making it necessary to at

for the promoter, but the customer

to guarantee Jackie Wilson. former
featherweight champion. $4,000 with
the privilege of 80 per cent to ap-
pear next Monday against Danny
Petro. Petro is getting 20 per cent,
which is quite jump from what
ever small change he was receiving
when he left the amateurs little

To bring Henry Armstrong here
two weeks ago, Ahearn had to shell
out 40 per cent of the house Arm

ever, which made 1t worth while for
Ahearn.
To keep this angle working to the
customers benefit, Ahearn is COM
ing up with a good show next Fri
day, with Lew Hanbury, writing an
other chapter in that local-boy-
makes-good story. going against
Jackie Callura, the NBA feather
titlist. Turner is countering in the
near future with Big Boy Brown
against some heavyweight, possibly
AL Hart.
1t should be added, though, that
the featherWeight championship
won't be on the line next Friday
when Callura and Hanbury get to-

$4,000 Offered
To Box Barto|o
Tempting Pep
Feather Stor Ready
To Defy N. Y. Boord,
Take Boston Bout
BY SID FEEDER,
Associated Press Sn0rtS Writar


NEW YORK, May 15.-There is an
old saying in the beak-busting in
dustry that money on the bureau
talks" and today a big bundle of
lettuce" was positively hollering
out loud for Wee Willie Pep to put
his featherweight title on the line
June 8 against Sal Bartolo in Bos-
ton.
This would be in direct defiance
Of the New York State Athletic
Commissions latest profound rul-
ing, to say nothing of what effect 1t
would have on Promoter Mike
Jacobs plans to show Pep in Madi-
son Square Garden, where Wee Will
lie puts more than a buck or two in
the box Office.
$4,000 Interests Pep.
The commissions considered de-
cision yesterday was that Bartolo
must first tangle with Ex-champ
Chalky Wright to decide the top
challenger for Wee Willie's crown,
which is that portion of the throne
recognized in New York. And if
Bartolo doesn't want to take on the
Chalk, as his manager limited, then
the Empire States solons said they'd
substitute some one else for him
against Wright.
However, Eddie Mack, the old
sarge from Boston. who's been
around Bash Boulevard for 30 years,
came to town last night and told the
package of pep from Hartford and
his manager, large Lou Viscusi, that
they could have $30000-or an op-
ton of so per cent of the gate-for
tangling with Bartolo in Braves
Field June 8. And large Lou, who
can recognize a pile of that green
stuff as quickly as the next fellow,
was so impressed he said he
thought" he'd accept the offer, but
would like to make up his mind
definitely today.
This latest act in the feather
weight follies began when the New
York Commission glanced at its CAL
endar and noted that next Thursday
would mark the end of the six
month grace-period since Willie won
the title from the aging Wright and
he must now defend his crown. The
commission decided to take steps.
Commission Has Other Plans.
The first step was to order the
Bartolo- Wright rassle. When Bar
tolo's manager. Lou Schiro. hesi-
tated about this, Viscusi offered to
have Pep fight both of them-one
at time, naturally. The commits
sion turned thumbs down.
Then the old sarge's bid put a
new twist on the thing, as far as
the champ, himself, was concerned.
Mack pointed out that Pep won a
decision over Sal only month ago
in Boston by the slim margin of one
point on the officials score cards.
That fight drew some $4,000, which,
Eddie asserted. would be mere small
change to what Gus Fan and Mrs.
would pay to see the return go in
the ball park.

Meade Out for 1943
As Racing Board
Denies Appeal
Action in 'CoIIusion'
Case Is Pronounced
Without Prejudice
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK. May 15.-Don Meade
is through as a jockey, at least for
1943.
The little South Dakota saddle
artist, who has been in and out of
hot water around the race track
for years, was denied his appeal for
riding license yesterday by the
State Racing Commission.
Charged with "collusion" in a
race, he carried his case to the
commission-the court of appeals"
In such matters-after the Jockey
Club OF New York turned his appli-
cation down several weeks ago. and
the commission upheld the Jockey
Club decision.
The Board of Appeals" the de-
cision said, voted unanimously to
sustain the action of the stewards
OF the Jockey Club in denying Don
Meade license for 1943."
Afterward, Herbert Bayard Swope,
chairman of the commission, pointed
out that Meade's application can
be renewed" probably in 1914.
The action" Swope said, was
taken without prejudice. The de-
cision does not impair his right to
gallop horses in the morning"
Meade. who once was set down for
two years for betting on horses other
than his own mounts, ran into
trouble this time for an incident
that occurred in stake race last
fall. His mount. Imperatrice, was
coupled as an entry with Elimar,
which was ridden by Herb Lindberg
Meade was charged with shouting to
Lindberg to take out" challenging
horse. Imperatrice finished second
and was disqualified.

This is the toughest test for Petro
so far. He definitely will be estab-
llshed as contender if he beats
Wilson. Working out yesterday
against two sparring partners at

to hit. Neither Billy Banks nor Billy

Weather Hits Turner Card

The competition, which is good for
the fans. isn't too good for the pro-
moters if they get an overdose of it.
The last two shows. for example,
were run too close together. Turner's
Monday program outdoors was pre-
vented by weather and he had to
move indoors on Tuesday night,
getting only 1899 in the cash
drawer. This wasn't enough to take
care of expenses and he had to dig
down in his pocket to pay off the
fighters. And Ahearn ran his show
the next night at Uline's because his
usual Friday date was taken by an
other program. So there was only
1916 pushed through the till, making
another pocket-digging act in order.
Both were good shows and should
have attracted enough money to
have paid expenses with little over.
That business of not getting ex-
penses can't go on. because Turner
and Ahearn are not in business for
their health. However, if the shows
are run several days apart. as they
usually are. both promoters should
eat regularly.
