Latsios and Bennett
PIT Victory Streaks
In Turner'S Rinq

Two local boxers, both with i'm
pressive victory strings, are featured
in the two eight-round matches
heading Promoter Joe Turner's
Tuesday night fight program ct
Turner's Arena. Latsios has 13 in
a row and Perry 8.
A former Alexandria boy. Latsios
now is a soldier at Boiling Field.
His opponent will be Charley Ben
nett, who twice has defeated Eddie
Kane here. Kane was regarded as
Latsios' natural opponent for a big
fight here until he ran into Bennett
at the ball park last summer, but
Bennett now has taken over that
position. Best of Latsios' l3 wins
probably was his seven-round
knockout of Make Starr.
Perry, who has six knockouts in
his string of eight wins, will 60
against Taffy Cummings Of the
British Navy. Harry Garsh. Perry's
manager has match lined up for
his boy in Madison Square Garden
II he gets past Cummings.
Two six-round matches will back
up the two main bouts. In one Of
them joey Finazzo meets Corpl.
Billy Duncan, Fort Belvcir light
heavyweight, and in the other Don
Bacalao gees against Jimmy Nc
Griff, Glen brakes latest protege.

been proposed. but those doing so
have been held somewhat in check
by = growing minority that has
learned it isn't possible to continue
forever to take our natural resources
without making any return.
You may call them conservation
lists. That name is as good as any
Above all, support them, or better
still. allv yourself with the cause, or
after this war we could have, in
addition to huge national debt, a
preposterous one to ourselves.
Many things, ell attributable to
the war, have scattered local sports
men all over the world. The fighting
forces have taken the largest num-
ber. The balance are doing work to
support thore on the various fronts
and supply Our needs at home.
Oddest among the many individual
instances, however, Is that Of Jack
Bell, president of the Washington
Chapter of Ikes. He first went to
Manaus, Brazil, for the rubber de-
velopment in that area. He accom-
Dlished that job, then went farther
into the wilds of the Matto Crosse
as chief of reconnaissance party
up the Sao Carlos and then the
Rio Branco 1t rains almost con-
tinuously there and is hot and
humid. but it is the insects that
bring the most excruciating misery.
One choice fly, Jack says, stings like
hypo needle. Bell is due back by
Christmas and should have some
choice stories for the boys.
Maryland League Helpful.
The meeting of the sporting clubs
and outdoor organizations, as men,
bers Of the Maryland League Of
Sportsmen. is bringing about an
understanding of our needs in this
area such as we never have had
Before.
The idea of a league of clubs is
not new around here. but never be-
fore in such short time has there
been such cooperation.
True, this is Maryland organi-
zation, but any one living in the
District, and even District clubs, are
asked to come along on an even
basis. Not only for greater efforts
toward better conservation, but for
better shooting and fishing, ono
should afiliate with the new Mary
land League Of Sportumen.

Both Starry Events
Are Geared With
War Bond Test

Linked with The Evening Star
War bond tournament, the 18th
annual Meyer Davis tournament
for women at the Lucky Strike
and the second annual Bethesda
Mems Open at Bethesda Bowling
Center top today's big bowling
card which also includes the
Arlington Bowling Center handicap
and the weekly turkey tournament
at Silver Spring.
The Bethesda Open will be en-
livened by the auctioning Of
autographed pins for War Bonds.
Arville Ebersole, executive-secre-
tary Of the National Duckpin
Bowling Congress, will direct both
the tournament and bond sales.
Besides shooting for the attrac-
tive prizes in either the Meyer
Davis or the Bethesda events, con-
testants will be allowed to count
their first three games in The Star
tournament The purchase Of
bond plus the respective entrance
fees gives the participant the
privilege to count his or her scores
in both tournaments.
Gulli After 18th Victory.
Lorraine GULL will be aiming to
win the Meyer Davis for the 10th
time. Victor in the first two tour
naments when the country's oldest
event of its kind was stretched out
for three weeks over as many dif-
ferent, drives, Miss GULL, after
watching Marge Smith and Mar
garet Lynn win in 1880 and 81 hung
up six consecutive triumphs.
Not until 1898 was Miss CULTS
string of victories broken, then by
Georgia Hays, Lafayette star who
again today promises to be a keen
rival. Blanche Wootton Of Rosslyn
won In 1899 but the indomitable La
GULL won again in 1910, for the
last time. Lucy Ross was the 1941
winner and Corinne Hauser fred
the winning score Of 1893 last year.
Despite the fact that Mrs. Hauser,
and such aces as Lucy Rose and
Madge Lewis temporarily are re-
tired, today,s battle promises to
pack the Lucky Strike for the two
f1ve-game blocks scheduled at 8
and 7.
Baltimore Entry Strong.
Baltimore bowlers, who have run
wild over the Districts finest in
six National Duckpin Bowling Con-
gress sanctioned events this season
are expected to send another big
squad over in an attempt to win
the $3.50 top prize in the Bethesda
Open. Leon Fleisher, last years
winner, in the Navy now, will be
among the missing.
The entrance fee is s12. but Bub
Guethler, the hot Lucky Strike
southpaw, could cop the $3.50 first
prize without having risked a cent.
He won his entrance fee with top
set of 43l in the District League
the other night. And, incidentally,
it may be worth more than that.
His set counted in the Star tourna-
ment and although his gross score
of 440 may be topped many times,
his scratch set of 43l looms as the
count to beat.

OUTDOORS

The outdoors isn't, as many be-
!teve, Just something we jump into
the middle of or pass through on
cur vav to wo-k.
A little thought should make it
the place in every day life that it
deserves to be. 1t is the air we
breathe, the varor in the air drawn
from sa'ty seas to be dropped or
the lard to support life in manv
forms, the forests and f1etds and
the streems-oll vital to our con-
tinted cXistance.
Proba bly, it is because we have 50
much of it and have had for so long
that we are prone to take the out
doors tco much for granted, co little
Or nothing to perpetuate it for pos
terty erd take from it far more

time.
Conservatiori5ts Needed.
Humans have, since the beginning
cf time, a record of unthinkinc
polling of their lands. They have
hlched flc-n the forests, polluted the
streams, denuded the lands. It is a
wonder We are not fighting instead

During the last war thousands of
mistakes were made t.let We now
are paying for and probably Will be

Billy Towles had his chance to
really crack things loose in the King

young bowling star pulled up with
103, for 419 set, three sticks under
the league mark held by AL Wright.
Dot Hershey and Towles won the
rubber set from Christine Mores

exciting match saw Vickie Croggon
and Perce Wolfe coming from be-
hind to trim the strong brother and
sister twosome Of Catherine Quig-

posted $50, but it took a big last-box

Speary, young lightweight from

Wills tied up Robinson's dangerous

Berger may have been advised to
follow the same plan tomorrow.
Robinson's punching prowess is
