Every one said he was through

wasn't. Punches you take in the

hurt you. Zurita is a good boy, and
stays in training. He's married and
has two sons, and I'm godfather OF
the youngest.

when I first got Juan, they
matched him with George Latka,
who was known as the boxing pro-
fessor.' Juan beat him all the way.
When he met Angott for the title,
the experts said he didn't shave a
chance, SO what happens? Juan
wins every round. and could have
gone Is more at the finish.
"Zurita is smart and strong, and
he can punch and box. He went
to high school and is very intelli-
gent. He's the first Mexican-born
boy to win title and when he
got back to Mexico City after beat
ing Angott his train was hours
late, but 5000 fans were at the
station, with bands, to meet him.
He's big man down there"

First signs that the Capitals
summertime bowling season is just
around the corner were evident to-
day when Bob Miciotto, King Pin
pilot, announced plans for three
warm weather leagues to start roll
ing the first part of May.
Miciotto already has a galaxy of
the city's sharpshooters lined up for
a mems handicap doubles loop with
a 245-team average limit to roll on
Wednesdays. A four-man team
mixed loop with two men and two
women will be organized to roll on
Thursdays. The team average limit
will be 460. From the 20-team King
Pin mixed doubles loop, which ends
its season the first week in May
Miciotto hopes to get the nucleus for
another no-limit league to fire on
Fridays. All three leagues will be
run on a tWo-thlrds handicap basis.

NEW YORK, Mar. 21.-Imagine

Harrison 4 Shots Up,
Choice al Charlotte
After Shooting 66
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHARLOTTE, N. c., Mar. 21.-
Sergt. Dutch Harrison of the Army
Air Forces special service branch
started out today to complete a five
day mission of creating good will
for the AAF and to win for himself
top money in the $4,000 Charlotte
Open golf tournament.
BY his handsome conduct on the
course, the mild-mannered soldier
from Greensboro, N. c., won the
solid support of Greenside fans. But
he was little miffed when the GAL
leries refused to make him betting
favorite after he led the field for
two Gays.
He was enjoying four stroke lead
at 202 as the War Bond event turned
into the final 18 holes and the last
day of Dutch's five-day furlough.
Harrison fired rounds at sc and 10
the first two days, but the odds
layers still picked Harold Jug) Nc
Spaden to win. They said Harrison
was lucky to stay in the running the
second day on hole-in-one and an
eagle 3.
Yesterday after a ain-enforced
36-hour cooling off spell, Harrison
batted out another 66, over a muddy
course. The Myers Park Club course
is half in town and half out, and
the country half is a very rugged
stretch of terrain. Nobody had been
better than IS on that nine and the
terrible ninth hole, a par 3, had
been played in slightly more than
even As. McSpaden had had a
deuce and two As there; Byron
Nelson a 4 and two SIS. So Harrison
shot this exceptionally difficult side
in record 80, four under par, and
topped 1t off with 2 on No. 8,
where only five brides have been
recorded in the entire tournament.
His total 202 put him four strokse
ahead of McSpaden and converted
the chase for the $4,000 first prize
into strictly a two-man affair. And
at last Harrison, already the senti-
mental favorite, was the betting
favorite as we'll.
Sammy Byrd of Detroit was in
third place with 210, eight shots of
the pace, Craig Wood was fourth at
211. Jimmy Hines, fifth at 212, and
Nelson, sixth at 213.

BALTIMORE, Mar. 21.-The ex-
perienced Cleo Shans, California
Negro lightweight, punched out a
10-round decision over Lew Han
bury of Washington last night. Han
bury, slight favorite, put up a
game fight.
1t was obviously Shans' fight
from the start. He opened with a
stiff body attack, and Hanbury was
unable to keep out of trouble. Shans
later shifted his attack to the face,
and Hanbury was bleeding from cuts
over his eyes at the finish.
Although soundiy beaten, Hanbury
refused to give ground and fought
back savagely to win the last round,
only one in his favor. The third
was even. Shans weighed 1872 and
Hanbury 1874.

Armstrong Has Slow

In Beating Wills

Ten rounds such as he went last
night while beating frankie Wills
don't bother Henry Armstrong
whose 81 years are supposed to slow
him up If he can't knock out the
opposition early in the fight. Fact
is" said Armstrong after the fight,
81 feel better when I go 10 or IS
rounds like that; it gives me the
kind of workout need"
Armstrong was outboxed for the
first two rounds by the back-pedal-
ing and jabbing District boy, but
thereafter won every round, al
though frequently tied up in
|clinches. Il could have knocked
him out If he Just had run away--I
catch them eventually-buth he grab
bed and held too much" said ARM
strong in explaining the reasons for
failing to chill Wills. He can't
punch and he didn't hurt me. Lew
Hanbury gave me a tougher fight
for the two rounds he lasted than
this boy did"
Wills after the bout exhibited
cash over his left eye and red welt
Of glove burns all around the right
optic which frequently stopped Arm
strong's left hooks and jabs. Il got
tired after the third round; I don't
know why" Frankie said. "I think I
hurt him plenty in the second-he
walked into couple of hooks. He
got tired after the fourth, but he
knew I was shot and it didn't worry
him. I really wanted to win this
one and trained hard, but I just
couldn't make it."
Either Armstrong has lost his
punch or I really can take 1t be-
cause he just didn't hurt me-" Wills
added.
The bout at Uline's last night that
ended Armstrong; knockout string
after six such successes was wit
messed by about $500 paying Gus
toners who paid gross Of $l7,638.
Wills wasn't even able to outlook
Armstrong after the second and
frequently was forced into clinches
to save himself. Armstrong con-
stantly bored in with his left and
from the fourth on was beating
Wills to the punch. Armstrong oc-
OCCASIONALLY showed signs Of disgust
at the way things were going, want
i ing to pull out Of the clinches and
fight. He opened a cut over Wills
left eye in the sixth, but Frankie's
handlers were able to stem the flow.
In the eighth Armstrong staggered
Wills to the ropes with left to the
side Of Frankie's head, but that
was the closest to a knockout.
The preliminaries produced more
real fighting than the main go.
There were two knockouts, Morris
Reil stopping Jimmy Morrison in
50 seconds of the fourth and Don
Bacala chilling Joe Woodley at :25
of the fifth. Decisions went to Taffy
Cummings over Benny Jeffries in
a six and Power House johnson over
