Beau Is 5-11 Choice
To Keep Ring Title
In Battle Tonight
Clash With Montgomery
Is Expected to Draw
Close to 100000
BY SID FEDER,
Associated Press Sports Writer

NEW YORK, May 2l.-Bouncing
Beau Jack and Bob Montgomery
collide tonight for the world light
weight championship, and trying to
pick the winner is like Aunt Emma
making up her mind between the
blue hat with the bouquet of ba-
nanas or the red one with the bird
nest.
The Beau is a 5-to-11 choice
among the better Forty-ninth street
betting shoppes in this 15-round fuss
in Madison Square Garden, and
most of the wise guys have been tell
ing you for days that the one-time
Georgia shoe-shine boy will put
quite high polish all over the Phil
adelphia challenger once he's turned
loose at 10 pm. (EWT.
But when you add everything up,
you're still no closer to the answer
to the $62.50 question. Ordinarily it's
s64, but you're getting a reduction
for cash in this one)
On recent form, the Jumping Jack,
who was handed this New York ver-
sion of the lightweight champion
ship last December after Sammy
Angott retired permanently for a
couple OF months, figures to make
his first defense" a happy celebra-
tion.
Montgomery Is Confident.
He not only has cleaned up among
the lightweights, but he moved In
among the welters and walloped

more than little bit. But Bobcat
Bob has had his artillery aimed at a
lightweight title shot for long
time now, after five non-title tussles
with 135-pound bosses and he's con-
fident he'll hit the bulls-eye in this
battle between two Negro swatters.
Reduced to simple terms-like
three strikes are out and four aces
win the pot it's a question of
the Beaus slam-bang. scatter-shot,
shut-your-ey eyes -and-swing brand of
betting against the experience and
the body humping stuff Montgom-
cry has loaded in his cannon. Add
to that the fact that the Beau has
tired during his last two or three
outings, and that tonight's little
party is slated for the full Derby
route, shake the whole thing well,
and what you get is your own
recipe-you'll have to drink it.
Jacobs Bound to Win.

Missing Triumph Only in 100

Troll in Northern Virginia Games

Almost without an argument
from Fairfax and George Wash

Lee High of Ballston holds the
Northern Virginia Glass A track

Generals swept every first place
except one yesterday in the first
annual meet on their home field,
scoring Ill points. The real bat
tie was that for second place,
taken by Fairfax's Rebels with 26
points to the "a registered by the
Presidents.
Tom McDonough, little Fairfax
dash expert, took the only first
place not going to the Generals

yard dash in 1912 seconds after a
thrilling duel the whole way with
Mitchell Dick and Russ Bowling,

ished second and third, respec-

race was the mile, in the final lap
of which Dan Hahn of Washing

In Fight Tonight

When larger numbers OF fly fisher
men tried the game it was appar-
ent that any black and white fly,
with or without a spinner combina-
ton, would turn the trick, and
finally that they would fall, on occa-
sion, for small bright spoons.
The run on the Potomac is past
the peak, but that on the Susque-
hanna just now starting in real
earnest and possibly too late for

grounds, for the War Department
has just announced a larger closed
area around the dam.
Fishermen will not be permitted
on the river or on the banks from
Conowingo Greek above the dam to
a line across the river from Shure's
Landing to Octorora Creek below
the dam.
This order does not preclude all
fishing in the above tidewater area
OF the Susquehanna, but it does
shorten materially the area, par
ticularly prohibits any activity on
the best waters.
All too many fishermen follow the
various runs of fish in the Potomac
above Washington, and miss entirely
one Of the best species to be caught
in large numbers throughout nearly
every month of the year.
It Is true there Is much to be said
against the habits of the channel

the river above Three Sisters, the
cat not only Is q fine food fish, but
q gamester as we'll.
With the current restrictions on
travel and the prohibition of the
use of gasoline for pleasure, some
thought should be given this delect-
able fish, when for no more than
two trolley fares one may get to
Capt. Joe Fletcher's front door at
New Cut and Canal roads where
skiffs are obtainable.

For Braw| With
Feather King
Crown Not Involved
In 1O-Round Affair
At UIine's Tonight

Lightweight Lew Hanbury, jr.,
only one remaining with a chance
at national recognition of a Cap
ital trio that recently declared
themselves ready to advance be-
yond the club fighter class, gets his
big test tonight at Uline Arena
when he steps through the ropes
for a scheduled 10-round non title
scrap with NBA Featherweight
Champion Jackie Callura of Ham,
ilton, Ontario.
Washington fight fans are a bit
cautious about backing Lew after
what's happened to two other local
lights. They saw featherweight
Danny Petro stopped in the 10th
round last Monday by Jackie Will
son, and on Wednesday of last
week Middleweight frankie Wills
lost a decision to r. j. Lewis.
These bouts put a crimp, at least
a temporary one, in chances those
boys had Of stepping upward in the
boxing world, leaving only Hanbury
to carry on.
Brawl Is Anticipated.
Although Callura twice defeated
Wilson, he isn't a consistent win
ner, having lost recently to Tony
Costa and Cleo Shans, all of which
gives Hanbury hope. Furthermore,
tonight's customers are expecting
a real brawl If both boys live up to
their pre-fight predictions Of action.
Lew is rough. tough little boy
willing to mix with anything that
comes along and Callura also dis
cards science for punch throwing
and inside fighting.
Leo Bradley, Callura's manager,
describes his boy as "a club fighter
who never will be anything else. He
never learned the fine points of box
ing and defense because he just pre-
fers to mix 1t up. He's a chance
taking kid who still fights the way
he did as an amateur" The same
could 60 for Hanbury, too.
Hanbury has been in the profess
sional game just about year, win
ming 8 Of 10 nights. and recently set
tied for one of those setbacks by
outpointing Jimmy Phillips in a re-
turn 60. Completely sold on his
chances OF spilling the featherweight
champion tonight, Hanbury all week
has expressed the hope that Callura
will come out and slug with him.
Banks, English Matched.
i've had my share of hug-and-
crab fightereI want to mix 1t up
with q real fighter" The way these
two boys have issued statements
against each other this week, 1t
wouldn't be surprising to see them
a bit mad at each other tonight in
the ring.
Wills was to have taken a return
shot at R. j. Lewis tonight, but his
health isn't quite up to par, and the
match has been postponed In favor
of q semifinal for six rounds be-
tween Billy Banks. local Negro
feather, and Clyde English Of New
York. In another six, Joe Agosto,
Puerto Rican welter, tackles Lee
Rosan, Baltimore club fighter, while
Joe Jeanette Of Merrick Boys Club
turns pro against Willie Lewis OF
Baltimore. A four-rounder will open
the show at $50 o'clock.
