SoI BortoIo 1O-6 Over Gus Nell

Boston, M ay4 - CUP) NBA featherweight king Sal Bartolo Of East Boston will rule l0-6 favorite tonight when he steps into the ring against youthful Gus (PelD Nell of Montreal who hammered out de- cision against him three weeks ago.
 The champion is counting on his vast experience al stamina to help him outlast the 19-year old Nell.
 Because he will carry his normal 13l pounds into the Boston Garden ring, Nell will sacrifice his chances of lifting the crown. However, an- other triumph over the l0-round route would mark him as perhaps the most promising newcomer Of the year. Bartolo is expected to scale 126
 Fine Record
 Barely two months out of the pre- liminary ranks, Nell boasts record of 34 victories in 35 professional bouts, and has displayed an aggres- Siveness and hitting power that have won him acclaim throughout New ELSldllo. I1e eallieo IAio1iee " battle Bartolo by upsetting rugged Jerry Zullo of Chelsea who was being groomed as challenger.
 The split decision in their first meeting stirred up so much contro- versy that a crowd of some 13,OOC is expected for the rematch, It is estimated that the bout will draw a net gate of perhaps s30,000 oi which the champion will take one third, and Nell about S7,500.

St. Paul Ns Scott At Hartford

Hartford, May 4-Wjllie Scott, calm, cool and chilling puncher or iginally hailing from Savannah, Ga, will be the next middleweight to test the fistic mettle of St. Paul, Springfield battl2r who defeated Johnny Brown here two weeks ago. They meet in the suditorium's ten round feature Tuesday night.
 Twice last winter, n November and December, Scott fought here and scored a marked impression with local fight fans. He knocked out Johnny Corbett of New Haven in his first appearance, after the Elm City battler had himself made hit here by stoping three oppon- ents in a row at the auditorium.

A lot of people take their base ball seriouslyy, you know, but even ommissionership of base ball can't wreck a metamorphosis of Chandler at 46. The dignity of the office never will wipe the smile off Happy's face. It never has, and he's held public office for 16 years.
 Despite his singing and happy go-lucky, jovial mien, Chandler is vastly more than entertainer back-slapper and handshaker, far from being a clown. The hustler from the dark and bloody ground must have the germ of greatness, must indeed have plenty on the ball, to have come from precisely nowhere and attain the high po- sitions to which he ascended.
 Judge on past performances the new cZar, possessed of wide legal and political acumen, a him. ble brain and abounding vitality, will make an outstanding execu- tive in his new post. He has not f1unhed yet.
 In addition to having been one of the youngest governors of mod ern times, Chandler was the finest Kentucky ever had. IF the Sen ate he had outstanding influence on legislation.

l More Than Entertainer In Chandler

A New Deal Democrat but no rubber stamp, he split with the administration on lot of things.
 Baseball magnates will find that he will speak his piece, do what he believes to be right.
 When James P. Byrnes was Di- rector of War Mobilization, he said of Chandler: "A great fellow to have with you and a tough op- ponent."
 Commenting on -Chandlers ap- pointment as Commissioner. the veteran Senator Hiram W. Johnson of California paid him this tribute: He is man of undisputed guts, stands on his own feet and permits himself no favoritism. Under his supervision. baseball will be con- ducted with strict inpartiality."
 Chandler does not fancy him. self as another Kenesaw Moun- tain LandiS.

 That way has been highly sat- isfactory in the past.

 New York, May A. (UP)-Eyes Of the boxing world (to corn a phrase) will be centered upon Boston to- night when 18-year-old Gus Nell, latest leather-tossing sensation, tries to prove it wasn't f1uke when he upset the champeen" on Fri day the 18th of April.
 Mushky Jackson, the social arbiter of Jacobs beach, says Boston IS called the Hub City" because of cultural contributions made by such distinguished Bean-town citi- zers as John L. Sullivan, Sam Lang ford, Jack Sharkey, Jim Maloney' Etc.
 Anyway, Boston will be the hub of U. s. fistic interest tonight when Gus "Pell" Nell squares of against Sal Bartolo, N.B.A. featherWeight champion, in return l0-round bout at the Boston Garden. No title Is at stake because young Nell of Mon- treal is a few pounds too heavy to make the feather limit of 126. How ever. much money and prestige ride the result.
 When the Irish kid from Canada faced Bartolo the first time in Boston on April l3, Champion Sal was a 1O-l favorite. Such top heavy price was natural because hlacked haired Bartolo is an eX- cellent all-round Scrapper-fast, clever, experienced and a pretty fair puncher. But Young Pell Nell provided a major upset by ham, nlering out split 1o-round decl- sion. Two judges gave him the ver- dict, although Referee Tommy Rawson voted for Bartolo.
 After they signed for tonights re-match, both Nell and Bartolo did their training in New York at Stillman's gymnasium. They groomed at Stillman's because, in wartime particularly, it is difficult to get capable sparring partners Tn other cities.
 Young Nell evoked much favor able comment from the old-timers during his workouts at Stillman's They said ''he has what it takes" tc become a champion-a welterweight champion when he gets his full growth. They liked the moves" o1 this well-proportioned, strawberry blond kid with the tilted nose. They raved about his ability to scatter shots"-to throw blinding "combi- nations" of blows that plump into body and head almost simultane- ously.
 "Whos got him?" asked envious mana nagers-managers who are evel alert to 'steal" a promising fighter if he happens to be piloted by 'a yokel.
 They said, "Oh--" in disap- pointment when informed that the Canadian Kid was securely wrapped LID by managers Maurice Foreman of Montreal and George Sheppard of New York.

SENATOR FROM KENTUCKY ALSO
 ASKS NO BETS
BY WALTER BYERS IInifed PreSS Staff CorrespOnd,

CHlteu EEtSS ctdIl NWiCopOANChe
 Chicago, May 4--(UP)--' Happy Chandler, She jovial senator from Kentucky, plans to rule baseball with the same stern resolve by which the late Judge KenesaW M. Landis chartered the course of Americas favorite pastine for B years.
 Chandler who was appointed to succeed Landis as baseball con- missioner 70 days ago, let it De known today that an easy-G3Ilg Kentuckian can be as haro-illt- ting and fierce when chanpioEilg the cause Of righteousness as was the -visaged federal judge from Ohio.
 T have absolute authority over tie game Chandler said during an interview. And I plan to use it for the good of America, base ball and the people,
 Chandler has practically the same powers administered by L1n- dis. The only importan. change is that the club owners can pass leg islation, subject to lis veto. and can override the commissioners veto. Formerly, the commission CTS word vas law.
 Following are Chandlers views on other matters rel ellted to the commissionership:
 Wants No Scandal
 Gambling in basebal.-'1 oo net anticipate any trouble or scandal, but if anyone is foolish enough to try anything like that he will be detected and driven out of base ball.
 Negroes in base5al-"I believe everybody should have a chance 10 play in the Major Leagues"
 Racing and baseball-1 have asked the players not to bet or horse racing and I certainly Will follow the same policy"
 Baseball and the draft-"There is no reason for discrimination against a baseball player because he is a professional athlete. There is no doubt it has occurred m some re-classificatlon cases but steps are being taken to correct that"
 Chandler announced yesterday that the commissioner office would be in Cincinnati with prop ably a branch office in Chicago; that Leslie M. OConnor, secretary i of Landis for 23 years. would be his special assistant and handle ths Chicago office, and that Walter W Mulbry. college classmate and hlS secretary for the past 10 years would take O'Connors former po- sition as secretary treasurer to tAt 1 Commissioner.

EAGLE LOST TO NOVA BUT COT
 MORE MONEY

Boston, May A. CUP) - Heavy weight Lou Nova of Los Angeles had a pair of eye-cuts and slightly less than 5000 to show today for his somewhat hollow 10-round victory over Charley Eagle of Waterbury, Conn.
 Out-weighing his Polish American opponent by 25 pounds in their Mechanics Building match last night, Nova looked far from im- pressive. Center of a good deal of ribald abuse throughout the fight, Nova halted his attack at one point to below at heckler:
 I'm fighting-What do you think I'm doing?"
 But despite his best efforts, Nova was unable to spoil Eagles claims of never having been knocked down or out in some 7O-odd fights.
 Good Start
 A head shorter than his opponu-t, Eagle clearly took the first two rounds and opened Nova's right eye with looping left hook just as the second round ended. From then on Nova wore his way to victory with a thunderous body attack but Eagle gamely fought back as best he could and opened the Californian's left eye with a right hand smash ln the fifth.
 n the final round Nova attacked furiously with both hands in an effort to drop Eagle who drew the crowds cheers by clinging desper- ately to finish the fight on his feet.
 With Nova getting 9 per cent and Eagle guaranteed s1,O00, the winner came off second best in money since the bout drew a gross of S4,954 for net of $3,343 Nova weighed 206, Eagle, 18l.
