Miss Osborne To Play Betz
By JOSEPH NOLAN Limited Press Staff CorrespOndent)

NOMSCu AACSS OtoA SVAACSPO~ANp
 Chestnut Hill, Mass, Aug. 18- CUP)-Titian-haired Pauline Betz, the nations No. 1 court queen, faces perhaps her most trying test of the summer today when she meets her Los Angeles neighbor Margaret Os- borne at the Longwood Cricket Club in finals of the women'S 1n- vitation tournament.
 Miss Osborne, ranked No. 2 na- tionally, appeared to be at the top of her very excellent game and seemingly was ready for her rub Der" match with the national wom- ems champion.
 Twice this year the pair have met. In semi-finals of the Sea- bright, N. J., tourney, Miss Betz eliminated Miss Osborne. But in the Delaware State tournament, Miss Osborne turned the tables by beat ing the attractive champion for the tile.
 Yesterday Miss Osborne proved that she was ready for top-flight opposition. In three sets she upset the form by defeating Mrs. Sarah Palfrey Cooke of Los Angeles 6-S, 6-2, GA.
 It was the first time in four meet ings this year that Miss Osborne had been able to find vulnerable spot in Miss Cooke's game.

TRIRuNES AND BROOK. .YNS IN
 FEATURE TILT

The final three-game City Anna teur league program of the season is scheduled for Hamilton Park to- morrow afternoon featuring two games at o'clock and a headliner at between the championship Tri- bune A. c. and Brooklyn A. c. hines. The Washington Hills meet the Aviglianese on Mo- 1 in one of the early afternoon affairs while the Eagles and Branford tangle on No. 2 at the same time. Hamden drew a bye.
 While the Tribes have already salted away the 1945 championship, the battle for second, third and fourth place money will be keenly contested in tomorrow's tilts. The Hills at the moment are in second place with a "A record and can assure themselves of finishing in the runner-up spt if they can de- feat the Avigs tomorrow. The Avigs and Eagles, however, both have a chance to tie for second if they win their two remaining games, the Italian club being slated for meet ings with the Branford club as well as the Hills; while the Birds must face Hamden week hence after talking on Branford tomorrow.
 B. A. c. vs. Tribes
 Brooklyn winds up its regular schedule tomorrow against the Tribes and indications are that Packy Shea's champions will ex- perience little if any trouble from the youthful outfit from across the-bridge. Johnny Gregory, who labored for the Brooklyn cause last season, will probably oppose Chuck Althausen on the firing line. Bill Stanton will call the balls and strikes with Joe Mobile on the bases.
 The Avigs-Hills setto on No. at 2 should develop into the best en- tertainment of the day. The two clubs have been keen rivals during the past three seasons and with second place at stake, both outfits will go all out for the lions share of the booty. Yosh Kinel will hurl for Avigs with Sgt. Ralph Bradley game. Leno Costaldo and Paul Bar due to be on hand for the money" one will handle the umpiring as- signments.
 The Eagles regarded as far su- perior to the Branford outfit, can't take chances if they would still like to lay hands on second place money. Gerry Flood will be Roy Murphy's choice for mound duty with Bert Bozzuoto likely to go for the Townies. Jim Crichton and Joe Mobile will officiate.

GIVEN GOING OVER
 BY I. JAN|RO
BY JOHN A. CLUNEY Sports Editor

New York, Aug. IT - Youthful Tony Janiro of Youngstown does not have to be hit over the head with a ring-post to catch on" quickly in the business of boxing. Two weeks ago, he lost 8 photo finish" decision to Canada's club ping Johnny Greco, one of the hardest hitting wslterweights to come along since Chicago's colored Jack Thompson. The Canadian was an 8-5 pre-f1ght favorite.
 Tonight, Janiro gave Greco the going over" of his meteoric career, unanimously and officially defeating Greco so badly in eight rounds that Referee Eddie Josephs, out of the goodness of his heart, voted three rounds for Greco, five for Janiro. Two judges saw it 6 and 2 for the 18-year-old boy from the Buckeye State, who has ring "class" to burn.
 The writer, who liked Grecos chances to repeat his win of fort night ago, could give" Greco no more than one round, the third; scoring the other seven for Janiro- the first, second, fifth, seventh and eighth going away".
 No FOOlin'
 In the very first round, Tony and Johnny went to town, Greco try ing to belt the jabbing Janiro into the fifth row ringsid with one of his Sunday" punches; the Youngs- town lad jsbbing, hooking and up- percutting Greco so soundly that he won the round by 8 wide margin; repeated the same in the second, as Greco found the range bit in the third, Janiro taking some of his best wallops and handling himself gen. orally like Tony Canzoneri at his best. Janiro came on again in the fourth, won the fifth easily, slowed bit in the sixth, took the seventh easily and had Greco groggy in the eighth and final round.
 There was little difference in the weights; Greco 143 IA; Janiro, 142
 Comp0 Has It
 New Havenis Eddie Compo, younger brother of Johnny Compo, a fine little "club" fighter in the Elm City for several years; looks like the best bit of boxing talent to come out of Connecticut since Willie Pep; worlds featherweight champion from Hartford. Spotting a hard-hitting Puerto Rican foe, Juan Carrero, no less than six pounds, Compo won the decision after a very tough fight; with 16,- 237 fans cheering him to the echo. It was featherweight against lightweight and Compo had just enough punch, skill and speed to win the nod of two judges and referee after six-round battle that was the best of the prelimS.
 John w. Bricker, former gov- ernor of Ohio, and vice-presidential candidaty with Gov. Tom Dewey of New York in the last national elec- tion, was a ringsider in the press row; "rooting in" Tony Janiro of Youngstown, Ohio; the boxer now known as "the presidents pugilist" since Harry Truman, then vice. president, congratulated him one night at Madison Square Garden. Janiro, in his dressing room, asked his manager, relative to MT. Tru- man: "Who is that man?" The manager replied: Why, that's the vice-president" to which Janiro ex- claimed: Gee. imagine me shaking hands with the vice-president of Madison Square Garden!" The manager scornfully corrected him in this fashion: That man was the vice-president of the United States, you dopel"

NEW YORK'S COL nRED CLUB
 TESTS DAvI g

The famed New York Black Yankees, one of the greatest att fractions in baseball, make their seasonal appearances in Waterbury this evening when they invade the Municipal Stadium for 8 meeting with Fred Davis Brasscos at 8:30.
 The Brasscos, winners of IS con- tests in 9 starts this season, will send their ace colored star, Johnny Taylor, to the mound to oppose the Yankees with Pete Piestrak and Ted Grabeck held in reserve. Tay- Tor pitches with the New York Cu- bans, the Yankees Gotham rivals when the national colored leaguers are in New York, and should af- ford the New Workers plenty of trouble tonight.
 Many local fans will remember the Yankees when they appeared here against the City Amateur League All-Stars three seasons ago for it was in that contest that pro- duced the longest home run ever hit in the Municipal Stadium. The Black Yankees had Big Jimmy Dolly" Starks playing first base that season and the rangy initial sack artist tied into a fast ball and lined it off the wall of the stadium grandstand, well over 450 feet from the plate. Starks since has gone into the service but the Tanks have a new long distance hitter with them this year in Gen. terfielder Felix McLaurin, who is reputed to be a better Hong ball hitter" than Starks.

 McLaurin is leading the National Colored League with .367 mark at the present and is also tops in the runs batted in and home run de- partments, and with Mary Barker, Al Gerard, Georgie Scales and Bill

 The Yankees have 19-year-old youngster, willie" Wells at short stop this season who is the rookie of the year" in the National Colored loop. The team lost the services of Dick Seay two seasons ago to the armed service and at the time Seay was classified as the equal to Joe Gordon of the New York Yankees and Bobby Doerr of the Red Sox. However, New York experts say that Seay will have a job on his hands in wrestling the second base position from Wells when he returns.

United Press Staff COrTespOndentl
 Memphis, Tenn, Aug. 1S.-(UP) Out of the amateur ranks came St. Louis Bob Cochran today to make it virtually certain that Byron Nelson's remarkable golf tourna- rnent winning streak is about to end.
 For nine holes in the Memphis Invitational Tournament yesterday, Cochran travelled at record pace, finishing the round with 30, best card for the distance ever chalked up over the Chickasaw club course. He cooled off only little on the backside, finishing the day with 8 seven under par 65.
 That gave him a two day total of 133, two strokes ahead of another outsider, George Low of Clearwa- ter. Fla, who had 135, and nine strokes ahead of Nelson, whose 142 total made him 18th in the field.
 Nelson, afflicted with butter trouble, shot a one over par 7S tc go with first round of 60.
 Low had six-under par 66 yes terday to go with his first round of 6o.
 In third position was Harold (Jug) McSpaden of Sanford, Me, who had 8 136 card after shooting a 68 yesterday.

Of German, U. S. British and
other currencies and the great
crates of paintings and other

One of the captured Off
Gals said the currency was
particularly needed by the
German army to meet payrolls
and buy goods from Switzer-
land or Sweden, and that it
could not be replaced because
Allied bombings had smashed
German engraving plants.
The 90th's unusual haul came
In quaint fashion. The division
entered the little salt-mining
village Thursday, knowing
nothing of the cache. Last
night two German women were
found on the street after cur
few. They explained to mill
tary police that they were
looking for a midwife for a
friend who was having a baby.
During the course of the con-
versation the women mention
ed that something of great va
lue had been stored recently
in the mine.
The Division already had
found that DIR. Fritz Week,
one of the eight directors of
the Reichsbank, two other
bank officials, and DIR. p. O.
Rabe, curator Of the German
state museum were in Mer-
kers. Division officers told the
Germans to show up today at
the mine for a treasure hunt.
The Germans did so, and
