Pep -Bartolo Bout Last April g Was Ring 'Photo-Fmish'
(Special to the DemocraD

|
 Boston, May 25.-When Feather weight Champion Willie Pep and Boston's Sal Bartolo, who renew their rivalry at Braves Field on June under the aegis of the Bos- ton Boxing association met in the Boston Garden on April g, the re- suit, to adapt the jargon of the paddock to the resined ring, was a photo finish
 Pep won by a single point. Two judges and referee, scoring the fight at the usual 10 pounds a round, gave Pep 285 to Bartolo' s 284. Any man who knows right hook from the Red Hook section of Brooklyn realizes that this actually amounted to draw.
 On the racetrackS, horses can win by inches, or even fractions of inches, without the result being dis puted, because such finishes are photographed by high-speed cam era. This is not true in the boxing ring, however expert the judges. Photography is an exact science, Human judgment isn't, especially when boy wins by only one point out of possible 300.
 This fact has encouraged Boston ians to believe that Bartolo, a native of their city, may honor them with their first worlds championship in 35 years. There are other fact about the Garden battle to encour- age their belief.
 x1u1fIig N1e rare ssAyu> of the fight, there is no question but that Bar tolo had Pep groggy. One lethal right and the boy who grew up in East Boston might well have won by a knockout. Bartolo, highly intelligent boy, learned a great deal from the Garden go and is applying that knowledge in train ing for the featherweight cham pionship battle at Braves Field.
 Sleep Producer
 One thing is being mainly stressed in his training-a hard right punch that may finish the present cham pion off if he tires and begins to reel as he did the last time he met the Boston battler.
 Bartolo's adherents, and they number as many in this section as the prisoners the Allies took in Tunisia, also believe that Sal has greater stamina than Willie and that the 15-round route will be more to his advantage than the ten rounds of the April bout.
 One thing seems certain about the championship battle, right of the past performances: It should be one of the most closely matched battles ever held in Boston arena.
 And looking to the future, O'Brien and Mack have announced that pop ular Jackie Callura, of Hamilton, Ont. has agreed to meet the win ner for the Boston Boxing associa- ton sometime in July.
 In general this will be a fairly light boxing week. Ted Lowry re- turns after a brief rest to meet Gene Buffalo of Philadelphia at New Bedford Tuesday. Lowelps box

New York, May 24,-Johnny Humphries' 10-inning siX-hitter against the Yankees in Chicago handed Tiny Bonham his first de- feat. Then Nick Etten's scratch in the second inning deprived Lee Ross of a no-hit, no-run game against the American League champions. This is further tribute to the coach ing of Herold Ruel, generally con- sidered the first handler Of pitch FITS.
 Cleveland swapped Humphries and all his natural ability. Connie Mack passed Buck Ross along.
 Save for that turned in by Ted lyons and Johnny Rigney, both now in the armed forces, the White Sox pitching in more recent years has been done by castoffS. And, to u4ei1 credit and that of Muddy Ruel, more good pitching has been wasted by the Comiskeys for want of something else than by any other club that comes to mind.
 Thornton Lee, the sizable south- paw, got nowhere in particular in indian costume, but Professor Ruel made a 22-game winner of him in l941. The Athletics quit on Edgar Smith and bespectacled Bill Diet rich. Smith has pitched well, but has had so many bad breaks that \ tough luck legend has been built around the blond left-hander. Diet rich is quite a puzzle on given days Ruel transformed Clint Brown, a veteran, into the most accomplished relief worker in the business.
 Jimmy Dykes leaves pitching en- tirely to Ruel. Johnny Rigney tells me the secret of the old backstops success is that he never lets pitch ing mistake go uncorrected. He IS everlastingly picking a pitcher tc pieces or batting him on the back Complacency is not countenanced White Sox pitchers are in the game when they are in the dugout oi

ENROLLMENTS BENEFIT EAST
 SURVEY SHOWS
Western Schools Get Army Men, Barred From Var
 sity Athletics
BY LAWRENCE PERRY

New York, May 24. - Navy cordially concerning the continuance of Inter collegiate sports in wartime was definitely manifested at the conference the other day at Colum- bia University between Admiral Randall Jacobs, U. s. N, and other naval officers associated with the naval officers associated with the bureau of personnel and college presidents and other academic authorities whose institutions will receive V-12 students in July.
 Something more than an impress sion was gained by civilian educators who attended the conference that the navy wants it's students to fol- low as closely as possible a normal college life - aside from utilization with fraternities and clubs where social distractions might be encoun- tered.
 It seems that the naval author ities concerned with personnel have somewhat amended rules originally laid down concerning physical train ing. Time allotted for this has been extended to eight hours week and V-12 students who can pass swim ming tests and other fundamental requirements vii lbe free to choose competitive sports instead of the general program of physical condi- tioning, except the morning exer- ciseS devoted to bodybuilding. What this means as to football may easily be imagined.
 Not Near Tidewater
 Whereas in the East V-12 students will abound at practically all i'm portant seats of learning, Western institutions have not been so fortu- nate, fact probably due to the re- moteneSse of the midland rniverSi- ties from tidewater.
 Here Princeton, Yale, Harvard, Cornell, Pennsylvania, Dartmouth, among others, will hold courses for the navy undergraduates. In the Middle West Michigan, Illinois, Northwestern and Minnesota have been selected. It does seem that the V-12 colleges will benefit by an additional supply of material which should give them an advantage in organizing strong football squads.
 Other members of the big ten will soon be filed with students sent by the Army. They will undergo in tensive specialized courses which, as outlined at present, will give them very little time for indulgence even in intramural sports.
 Hopeful
 Hope seems to exist among ath- letic authorities of colleges and uni versailles in the Central states that the War Department will eventually make dispensation which will per. init it's college students to enter com. petitive sports as members of var. sity teams at the discretion of the | commandants of these collegiate units. Upon what, if anything, this hope is based, your correspondent cannot say.

THE COUNT GOES AFTER BELMONT RACE SATURDAY
Will Be Only Horse Except Sir Barton to Win Four
 Major Racing Classics
BY CHARLES MOREY Limited Press Staff Correspondent

New York, May 25.-UP)- Count Fleet, who holds a one-hOrse monopoly on current turf laurels, today was being pointed for the Belmon stakes - third leg on racing's coveted triple crown as racegoers faced the prospect of a banner week at Belmont.
 The Hertz Hot Shot romped to victory in Saturdays $15,000 Withers stakes at the Long Island course and needs only to register in the tra- ditional Belmont stakes to become the second steed in racing history to win the Kentucky Derby, Freak ness, Belmont stakes, and Withers the Canadian horse, Sir Barton, was the only other horse to win all four-in 1919
 Competition at Belmont tomor- row fatureS the Corinthian Steeple- chase, with the 27th running of the coaching club Oaks scheduled for Wednesday. The latter is the American classic for fillies and the winner is usually touted as best among her sex.
 Twin features mark Saturdays program. The $5000- added Rose ben siX-furlong sprint and the $7, ,500- added Peter Pan handicap share the card. The Peter Pan will be graced by Slide Rule, Boussuet, tip-toe, Cincentive, Freezing Home, Bankrupt, Eye For-Eye, and True Blue.
 Suburban
 The feature of the week, of course, will be the 57th running of the Suburban on Memorial Day. All the profits go to war charities.
 Last year one of the biggest crowds in the history of the turf 51903 witnessed the Suburban. Another large gathering is expected next Monday to watch such eligibles as Shut Out, Markwise-last year $

winner - Apache, Devil Diver, Vagrancy, Boysy, Kings Abbey, At tention, Thumbs Up, and Marriage.
 More than 10000 persons watched Count Fleet run the legs off his rivals in the Withers.
 Mrs. John Hertz garnered $l2,7OO from her colts easy triumph, which boosted the horses earnings for this year to $139,715 and his total to $214,960. Tte Count paid only $2.lO for each $200 ticket His time of 1:36 was only one-fifth of sec- ond over the stake mark, set by Man O. War, and one and one-fifth seconds over his own track record
 Originally, Count Fleet was not among the nominees for the Bel mont, but a check for $2,500 in March made him a supplementary entry. In his present condition, he seems unbeatable and prospects are that only a few horses will show in the classic.

Dusty Baseball
 League Proposed

The organization of an Industrial Twilight baseball league will be the purpose of a meeting which has been called by William J. Derwin, assistant supervisor of recreation, in the park department. for 7;30 to- morrow night in the City court room in City hall.
 The calling of this special session is the result of an exceptionally large number of local industrial fac tionS requesting that something be done in the way of reinstating base ball in the program of industrial recreational activities.
 Invitations have been sent to at least ten industrial concerns in cluding Scovills, Waterbury Tool Chase, Waterbury Mfg, Lux Clock, American Brass, Waterbury Button, Farrel Foundry, and the Bristol Co. Any other interested plants are also asked to send representatives.
 In the event that the league is formed games will be played at twilight possibly on Wednesday nights starting at 6 o'clock.
