CONSTANTINO. i TO 2 UNDERDOG. FOR LARKIN BOUT

New York, Feb. g - CUP) - Tippy Larkin, shrap-shooting New Jersey lightweight, is 8 2-1 favorite to beat elusive Lulu CoStantino of New York tonight in their 10-round bout at Madison Square Garden, despite reports that he has had trouble making the weight.
 Tall, rangy Tippy is favored be- cause he combines speed, punch and skill; whereas young Costan- tino-a will-o'-the-wiSp on defense apparently lacks the wallopS to dent a cream puff.
 Larkin would be a heavier favor ite were 1t not for rumors that he has grown out of the class, and that consequently he has weakened himself in pairing down to the agreed 137 pounds. That is the low est weight the Garfield gunner has attempted in year. For most of his recent contests, Tippy scaled 140, although he managed to make 138 1-4 for his draw with Bobby Ruft1n on January IA. If tonight's poundage causes his defeat, Tippy can not hope for title shot, which would require scaling down to the 135-pound limit.
 Birthday
 Meanwhile, Costantino's packers claim that Lulu's youth and speed will enable him to optpoint the Jersey veteran, whether Tippy is weak or strong. They promise that victory tonight will be a timely present for Lulu, who celebrates his 23rd birthday tomorrow. They en- phasize that, though the New Yorker is three years younger than Larkin, he is a seasoned performer with 9S professional bouts under his belt.

New York, Feb. 9. (UP)-De- pendable Bill Dickey, oldest Yankee regular will be back with the world champions next year.

RIVALS
 CLASH TONIGHT; BUTTON, BENRUS

Chase, assured of a place in the 1943-44 Industrial Basketball League playoffs aS a result of taking the first round without the loss of a single game, will try and knock U. s. Rubber cagers into the ranks of the beaten tonight at the Gen. tral "" gym in the IRA weekly session.
 Alden Whites charges suffered a setback week ago in opposing 1ngersoll, a vastly improved aggre- gation, in the opening of the second series. But Chase played without the services of Pete Pomponio and White hopes to have his club at full strength this evening for the clash with the Reads combine.
 Rubber has been on the rebound for the past three weeks, and both Frank Balinsky and Bernie Gar rick, co-coacheS of the borough team, are of the opinion that the Rubbermen stand good chance of figuring in the second round cham pionship.
 Carlson, Sweet, Rhodes, Chet Wo- jack, Mahon, Walger, Gunner Gun- mound, Overmeyer and other Rub- Der cagers will be on hand for the big clash with Chase tonight. Rhodes has sparked the Keds combine to victory in the last three starts and Chase guards will have to bottle up Bobby tonight to keep the Rubber score down.
 Close Game
 In the 8 o'clock preliminary tussle, "Long" George McNamara's Water bury Button quintet will seek vic- tory No. 2 in the second round in taking on Benrus Watch in what should be an interesting clash. Gus Lonergan will work the opener, Pat Slattery the windup.
 This second division game will show two good scorers in George Berardi of Button and Levine of BenruS. There is some talk of Foots Berardi, ex-Wilby high performer, making comeback with the Button aggregation tonight.
 Chairman Eddie McGrath of the IRA physical committee, and his assistant. Bob Kiersted, have made arrangements to handle a large crowd tonight at the Central "Y". Dancing will follow the final game. The standing:
