Checks
Threats 10 lis Lead
Calls Halt on Brewers
And St. Paul Also Bows
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
Pace-setting indianapolis, having
checked MilWaukee's surging Brew
ers and its own losing streak, today
found itself confronted by another
upstart in the lively American As
sociation race, the St. Paul club.
The Saints were beaten last night,
but they have demonstrated in their
recent drive from the cellar that no
longer are they a soft touch. The
7-to-1 setback by Columbus was
only their fourth reversal in II
starts.
Meantime, Indianapolis, after
dropping three in a row to Mil
waukee-the Indians longest losing
streak of the season-came back to
whip the Brewers, 5 to 2, and widen
the flrst-place gap between their
new challengers to three full games.
Until last night the Brewers had
triumphed five times in row to
move into second place.

bivins. Still Duration
Light-Heavy Champ,
But Eye Is Closed
Stops Marshall in 18th
After Blow to Optic in
9TH Arouses His Ire
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, June 9. Jimmy
Bivins' left eye closed today, but he
had a firm grasp on his duration
light-heavyweight championship.
Lloyd Marshall Of California
presumed to lift the cro'bn from
Cleveland Jimmy's head last night
and took the full count in the 18th
heat.
A sneak right belted James and
his dignity to the canvas for a two
count in the seventh and aroused a
Bivins who usually exerts his talents
just enough to win.
The titleholder pulled up his ring
trousers and dropped the California
Negro for counts of nine in the
9th and six in the 18th before de-
livering the payof punch.
The bout might have ended one
round sooner, but the bell interrupted
Referee Jackie Davis enumerating
in the 18th.
Marshall, at 164, spotted the Cleve-
land Negro 10 pounds and wasn't
too lar behind at the end of six
stanzas - but that seventh-round
stirred an easy-going Bivins.
A crowd of 18,448 contributed
SCI 1875 to witness the scheduled IS
rounder Matchmaker Larry Atkins
first outdoor presentation of the
season.
The word "duration" may be
dropped from Jimmy's title after the
war if he continues to slam op-
ponents around the ring. The Ma
tional Boxing Association lists him
as the logical contender for the 175-
pound championship owned by Coast
Guardsman Gus Lesnevich.
The official light-heavy king is
reported to have gone up to 100
pounds since entering the service
and probably will campaign among
the heavyweights when he returns
to civilian life.

OUTDOORS

Anglers on Maryland streams have
been so depleted that one has many
miles OF water to roam instead of
the small fraction of mile of
normal times. Crowded conditions
are gone for the duration and need
less to say the fishing is better than
for many years.
Reasons for this are too we'll
known to bear repeating. To reach
one of the Maryland mountain creeks
one must take the bus to Frederick
and transfer to the trolley. Thus in
order to get in enough fishing to
justify the trip the angler must stay
| overnight.
And the daily bus to Gettsburg
| probably has gone to war. There
now is but single round trip each
| week.
Some trout enthusiasts feel present
conditions will make for better fish,
ing later, but with the Maryland
Inland Game and Fish Commission
| finding hatchery operation almost
! too difficult to continue, there is
little to back such a belief Trout
in the streams now must last for
the period Of the war. The small
fish in the hatcheries most likely will
be released as fngerlings, to make
out as best they can. Those willing
to surmount the difficulties of trans
portation must fish for fun-Without
a creel, if there is to be any future
Remember the talk about that 1922
pound tarpon, caught by a young
woman at Islamorado, Fla, on bait

brought recognition as the outstand
ing piscatorial feat in the Miami
fishing tournament that year. Well
here's one that tops it.

BY BILL KING,
Associated Press Sports Writer


BOSTON,, June 9-It did take
Willie Pep, Hartfords flstic pride
about seven months to make his first
defense of his New York version of
the featherweight boxing champion
ship but today he had high hopes OF
doing it twice again within the next
three weeks.
Pep, who is 20, expects to be in
Quoted early in July and before that
be is eager to complete all OF his un-
finished business in a furious rush
by giving Chalky Wright and Jackie
Callura, the NBA's titlist, shots at
his crown at 100000 per crack.
Crowd Is Disappointing.
The fast-punching Willie was sup
posed to have cleared that handsome
sum last night when he put his title
on the line for the first time against
Sal Bartolo Of Boston, and won in
very easy fashion before a disap-
pointing crowd Of about $4,000 at
Braves Field.
Although Pep and Bartolo had put
on a sizzling overweight match here
in April, their return engagement
was so one sided it became monoto-
nous long before they reached the
18th and final round. Pep kept
Bartolo at bay with his singing left
iabs throughout and his highly pol
ished footWork carried him out OF
danger almost every time the Bos-
tonlan tried to close in on him and
bring his heavy right to bear on the
body.
Pep. who was on the verge of a
knockout in the sixth round OF his
first bout with Bartolo, was so cau-
tious getting underway last night
that he was held even in the first
two rounds. He won all of the
others, however Despite the one
sided action, both battlers finished
fresh and only slightly damaged
Bartolo suffered a half CLOSED left
eye and Pops nose bled slightly at
one stage.
Fight Makes Little Money.
The title contest. which caused
breach between the Massachu-
sets and New York boxing COM
missions. was far from a financial
success. Gross gate receipts to-
tailed s46,98430 and the net was
S42,713. That left the sponsoring
Boston Boxing Association very
little after it paid Bartolo the chal-
lenger's 1872 percentage and met
its other expenses.
If Pep, who started as 2-1 favor
ite, had been defeated, the feather
weight ranks would have been
greatly confused. The New York
commission, which made Pep, re-
fused to sanction the Boston bout
as title affair. The Massachu-
setts solonS, however, promised the
victor featherweight championship
recognition.
While gaining his 66th victory in
the 81 professional starts. Pep has
made in his 18-months career, he
weighed 1876, a half pound more
than Bartolo. The only setback in
the Pep record is loss to Light
weight Sammy Angott.
