Willie Pep, BartOlO Point For Boston Battle In Early April

Boston, March sl--Now the track Is clear and the light is green for the l0-round battle between Willie Pep of Hartford. featherweight champion of the world, and Sal Bartolo of East Boston, to be staged by the firm of O'Brien and Mack at the Boston Garden Q week from Friday night.
 When the match was made, Bar tolo had a date to keep with Joey Archibald in 6 Boston ring, and Pep had an engagement with Bobby Mcintyre in Q Detroit ring. The young men, to emphasize their one two ranking by the New oYrk com. mission, won 20 out of 20 rounds as they kept their dates and en. agreements, with Bartolo wining 10 out of 10 from Archibald last Fri day night; Pep winning 10 out of 10 from Mcintyre last Monday night; and the Messrs. OBrien and Mack drawing long sigh of con. tentment.
 Lou Viscusi, manager of Pep, re- ported via telephohne from Detroit yesterday that Pep had come out of the fight with no cuts or contusions or sprains or bruises, that he would arrive back in Hartford Wednesday morning to go into serious training, and that he will come into Bosotn early next week, to seek his 04th victory in 65 professional bouts,
 May Be Close
 The little marvel from the Nut. meg state certainly will rule fa- vorite to beat Bartolo on his home grounds, but the closeness of the odds may surprise lot of folks and may be reflected in the close nes of the fight. There are any number of fight followers-particu. larly in the East Boston sector-- who think that Bartolo will win. They take the loigcal position that Bartolo is a superb boxer in his own right; that he has fought bet- ter opponents, on the whole, than has Pep; and that he is a far heavier puncher than Pep. As usual, they will back their opinions with coin of the realm, and since the Pep Marching and Fighting as- Sociation always does likewise, 1t is probable that this will be the heav- lest betting fight since Jack Shar- key and Jim Maloney engaged in their series of brawlS almost 20 years ago.
 All New England seems interested in the outcome of bout between the two finest featherweights pro- duced by New England in several generations of fighting men, and a representative crowd from the six New England States probably will i'll the Garden to It's capacity.
 The tickets were received from the printer late yesterday and will be on sale both at the Garden and at the Boston Boxing Association, A School street.

 Drumming for the top of the quarter.mile homestretch, Sande reached for his whip, swished 1t twice sharply and surely, and in a half-dozen strides Zev was a length and a half in front.

 Then. suddenly, Mack came to. Feverishly he drove the Wieder- mann colt and in Memoriam gained several feet with each jump. Zev was tired. He was all but stagger- ing as the two stars drove for the wire. With 50 yards to go Zev led by only a half-length as the pow erful Tn Memoriam continued his relentless rush.

 There were no photo finishes in those days. The crowd was tense as the judges conferred. The decision was not an easy one. In Memofiam was a Kentucky horse-the darling of the crowd-while Zev was the hot betting favorite. Finally the numbers were up. Zev was the winner.
 The post-mortens were long and many. Garner, they said. had thrown the race away. Eande's quick brain got the credit even more than Zey for the victory. But the record book is cold. The postlnortenis have long since subsided and the book today simply reads:
