by RAY BARNES

Manuel Ortiz, FL Centre rancher
who holds the National Boxing As
Sociation version of the world BAN
tamweight boxing crown, will meet
Lulu Costantino, flashy New York
featherWeight, after fighting Lou
Salica again next month.
Manuel told us about the Co.'S
! tantino bout. which will put him
against one of the best boys he has
or probably ever will meet, while
he was in a pretty glum mood.
The little boxer had just spent
an unsuccessful hour and half
trying to find the various and SUM-
dry members of his baseball team.
the Ortiz All-StarS. He finally gave
up his quest of the players only
after securing every nook and COR
ner of baseball territory.
"Theyre all working Manuel
said.
This, from monetary, view
point, was good thing. Manuel
agreed. But il made him little
out of sorts with things in gen.
eral. He has used up several
pints of liquid gold (gasOline) in
an endeavOr to round up team
and finally had TO notify his in
tended opponents that the whole
thing was to be called off.
Ortiz goes back up to Oakland
on February "a to settle a widely
publicized dispute with one Lou
Salica in an attempt to gain un-
disputed possession of the world
crown, no matter whose doing the
recognizing.
I2-ROUND AFFAIR
In one meeting with Salica, 12-
round affair, Ortiz gave him such
a shellacking that the judges and
referee were unanimous in their de-
cision. But the New York State
Boxing Commission under whom
Salica operates, was not quite SO
congenial.
The commission members said
that since the fight was for only
12 rounds Manuel could not be
recognized as champion, although
Salica had signed a contract
stating that his title was at
stake.
Salica was called out of retire
ment, where he had disappeared
after tasting OrtiZ's leather, and
was set up as champion again.
This time the bout will be for
Is rounds i'm the arena, where
the &c. fighter finished off
George Freitas, San Jose boy,
15-rOunder.
After the fight with Salica, Or
tnz will go into training for the
Constantine bout. The New York
Italian. whose string of straight
victories runs from here to there,
will have a definite weight advan-
tage. The feather limit is 1876 while
the bantam limit is only 118 Since
it will be a non-title affair, neither
tighter will worry about keeping
within the bounds, but Constantine
will have the greater weight range.
Site for the bout and definite
date have not yet been announced.
YOUNG TIGER
Promising young ortfielder for
the Detroit Tigers is Dick Wake
field. who was paid $4,000 for
signing with the squad while only
a sophomore at the University of
Michigan.
He is left-hander, like Ted Will
liamS. only at 200 he carries 25
more pounds than the WilloWy Bos-
ton slugger.
Last season Wakefield hit 1854 in
the Texas League and'Was adjudg- |

packs at least $50 pounds on a six

immaculate tuxedo, never bets with
fans" even though the fans may
be of the Vanderbilt or any other
Dig-moneyed clan.

Toots says.

caused him to go gutter-bro and
