Action -Jammed Fiqhl
Looms as BIB, Shank
Clash Tomorrow

Tomorrow nights fight at Griffith
Stadium will be somewhat popu-
larity test for Bee Bee Washington
District Negro middleweight who
built up such big following here
last summer and winter that his in
door shows at Turner's Arena in
variably were sellouts. On one oc-
casion, the gates were closed before
the first prelim started and more
than 1000 cash-waving fans were
turned away.
Tomorrow night Washington goes
against Cowboy Ruben Shank in a
10-rounder. 1t figures to be a rea-
sonably good fight, although neither
boy at the moment rates as a real
contender for the title, and If
there's big crowd it will be be-
cause Bee Bees drawing power was
not dimmed when he was knocked
out by Aaron Perry, another Dis
trict fighter, in nine rounds the last
time out.
cause Bee Bees power was not
dimmed when he was knocked out
by Aaron Perry, another District
fighter In nine rounds the last time
out.
Shank also lost his last outing
being decisioned by Ossie Harris in
rubber bout, but before that he
had compiled a good record by
beating such as Henry Armstrong
Fritzie Zivic. Izzy Jannazzo, Winnie
Vines and Chuck Hunter.
Shank never has fought in
Washington, but Heinie Miller
chairman Of the District Boxing
Commission. saw him in action
several times in Norfolk when
Ruben was in the Coast Guard
Heinie says that Ruben is not a
fancy boxer, but rather slashing
tearing performer of the club
fighting type.
UNLESS he's gone far back from
the form he showed in Norfolk he
should please fight fans here" says
Miller.
Shank does appear better fight
er than most of those knocked out
with such regularity by Bee Bee
as the latter went two years without
losing a fight. Both are crowd
pleasers In that they are willing
mixers who toss leather all the way
so fight fans may be in for a pleas
ant evening.
Heading the supporting card is
six-rounder between Biff Jones
local southpaw boxer-slugger, and
Vernon Brown Of Baltimore. Other
SKIES send Jerry Kiger, McKeesport
Pa, against Artie Brown, local, and
Don Ellis against Artie Bethea. The
opening f1ve-rounder is between two
Washington boys, Jimmy Lewis and
Jimmy Howard.

effective January /. 1947, II approved,
and it Is hoped the plan will be
adopted by the Royal and Ancient
Club Of st. Andrews, Scotland, and
used universally.
Few changes will be made In the
substance of the rules, the principal
change being a Encouragement so
that golfers may find answers more
readily than before.
The present rules contain a
preamble, % definitions. IS basic
rules, 16 special rules for stroke play,
sundry regulations for par and bogey
competitions. three-ball: best ball
and four-ball matches, etc. In all
there are 100 major subdivisions
and % pages of index, closely cross
referenced.
The proposed rearrangement will
omit 26 Of the % index pages, the
subdivisions and all special rules. At
present, it is necessary to turn from
general rules to stroke rules to spe-
cial rules. The proposed revision will
cover all situations under one rule.
The rules have not been touched
since 1884. The USGA gives much
of the credit for the simplified rules
to Richard S. Francis, an authority
on the subject.

Brown, the 23-year-old former
mortar gunner who was seeded Sec
ond because OF his fine showing at
Wimbledon, and top-ranked Yvon
Petra, who brought the Wimbledon
title to France. both turned in
handy victories to keep the leading
seeded foursome intact. Brown beat
j. Vodicka of Czechoslovakia, 60,
13, 86, while Petra had an even
easier time disposing of a country
man, Pierre Pellizza, 60, 81, 60.

Luxembourg.
Only one European player, Joan
Curry of England, appeared to have
a chance to prevent the women1
singles from developing into an all

Doris Hart Of Miami. The other
Americans in the field are Pauline

don winner; Margaret Osborne of
San Francisco. Louise Brough of
Beverly Hills, Dorothy May Bundy
