Montgomery VS. Petrone

New Haven, March 2l-Connecti- cut has long been used to champ ions, what with Jack Delaney, Kid Kaplan, Bat Battalino and Willie Pep in recent times, but for the first time in many years the lightweight champion of the world will throw fists in the Nutmeg State when Bob Montgomery meets Ernie Petrone in the feature bout of 10 rounds at the Arena here tonight. Four sizes are on the supporting card, the first at 8:30.
 Champions, fighting out Of the weight and with the title not at stake, as in the case tonight, are winners most of the time and favor ties always. But there is likely to be one exception tonight-Bob Montgomery will be the favorite, but many believe Petrone will be the winner.
 Army Vets
 This opinion Is based on Mont gomery's long service in the Army, which terminated only a short time ago, and his failure to look the part of the ring king against the veter- an Leo Kodak, and in a more re- cent bout against Tony Pellone in New York. Te won, but with a struggle.
 Petrone, former Marine and win ner of the Purple Heart, has been out of the service for a fair spell and before moving North ran up string of outstanding victories in Florida, most notable being that over Cotton King.
 In New Haven he has twice beat en Julie Kogon. and the Elm City fighter was 5-l and 3-l favorite the first and second time against Petrone.
 There is considerable Connecticut (and competitive) interest in the undercard. The pairings are Joe DeMartino. Bridgeport welter, vs. Tiger Nelson. New York; Charles Kid Chaney. Baltimore middle weight, vs. Lou Perez. New York; Henry Holt. Danbury welter vs. Bobby Garcia, Jr., Baltimore; and Frankie Foley, New Haven, l4O, ys. Eddie Patton of Philadelphia.

FREE THROW
 FOR KENTUCKY WINS U. s. TITLE
By CARL LUNDQUIST United Press Sports Writer

New York, March 21-(UP)- Kentucky's willy Wildcats, who barely escaped basketball fame in other years, claimed their first ra- tional championship today-by the margin of one slim free throw.
 That shot, which Ralph Beard arched in with 40 seconds left to play last night, gave the Blue Grass basketeers a 46 to 45 victory over high-speed Rhode Island State, @ team that never quit running at full speed through 120 minutes of the invitational tournament play.
 The losers gained consolation prize that met with the approval of the l8,475 Madison Square Garden spectators. The Rams star center, scholarly Ernie Calverley, who looks like @ fugitive from a trigonometry class, was named the most valuable player in the tournament.
 Tn the opening game of the dou- bleheader, West Virginia's moun- taineers captured third place with a 65 to 40 victory over Muhlenberg of Allentown, Pa.
 Kentucky, a 10-point pre-game favorite, lowered above the skinny New Englanders and looked as if it should have had no difficulty win ming. But as traffic cops the Wild cats failed to slow down the speedy Rhodes and in the end it was that one little shot that spelled the dif- ference. Q
 The game was close throughout. The score was tied Il times and when Beard made his free throw, Rhode Island still had another chance. Forward Dick Hole was fouled with 10 seconds to go but his free shot hit the rim and bounced out. Tears which he didn't try to hold back, told the story for Rhode Island.
 Feild Goals Even
 Evidence of the almost even terms on which the teams played was forthcoming in the box score which showed l6 field goals for each team with IA free throws for Ken lucky and 13 for Rhode Island.
 Kentucky, the most efficient team in the tournament and the one the odds-makers had installed as 8 strong favorite, once again found it hard to play up to its reputation. It was a great team that somehow failed to hit the heights. Rhode Island, on the other hand, was a fair team that somehow always manager to get just the right amount of inspiration.
 The versatility of the wildcats proved to be their chief Stock-in- trade throughout the meet as 1t was in the finals. No one player dominated the scoring with Beard dropping in 12 points, freshman Center Wallace Jones making 10 and Forward Wilbur Schu plopping in nine. And when Jones and For ward Jack Tingle went out on fouls, two capable substitutes, Ken Camp bell and Joe Holland took over.
 Boxed
 Calverley, the blood and bones of the New Englanders played his usual brilliant game although he was guarded jealously by Beard and Jones, who combined to keep him from unlocking his unbeliev- able long one-handers. When he went out on five fouls in the final minute he had chalked up only two field goals and four free throws. Hole and Al Nichols carried the load for State, Hole making 12 points and Nichols II.
 West Virginia's triumph was achieved with ease over a tired Muhlenberg five. Led by Leland Byrd, who made IS points, the Mountaineers took the lead after five minutes, and won going away.

VALLEY LEAGUE BALKS AT $1O UMPIRE FEE
By YIN MALoNEY, JR.

The Naugatuck Valley Scholastic Baseball league, in a statement to The Democrat this morning, reiter- ated its stand on a standard $7.50 fee for umpires officiating at local baseball contests. Through secre- tary James w. Lee of Crosby, the league voiced Its disapproval of the $l0 fee asked by the Connecticut Baseball Empires Association and further stated "that the 50 percent boost of fees from S to $7.50 this season was a suitable compromise. As all teams in the Naugatusk Valley League will come under the Glass A rating they would be obliged to pay this top fee.
 President William Stanton, of the CBUA when informed of the Leagues decision, stated "that the association would vote on the ques- tion of allowing its members to handle Valley League contests for less than the $10 fee. A final and binding decision from the Empires may be forthcoming after their next meeting about April 1st.

Night Games?

Coaches Bill Tracy of Leaven- worth and Tom Purcell of Wilby have announced that they have scheduled tentative night contests when the two schools meet on May 27th and June 11th.

MORE NORTH END HOUSING COLLAPSE WOMAN INJURED

Tuesday morning, October 18th, was a bad day for the whole Willis family at 21 Loomis Street. This was espe- cially so for Mrs. Willis who has been suffering from a stroke that she experienced in Decem- Der, 1945. -
 Between nine and ten in the morning a whole section of the ceiling over the bed of Mrs. Will lis fell, gashing her head so that she required immediate medical attention.
 A phone call at the office of the Hartford Chronicle notified them that another badly ne glected house in the area was falling to pieces and that a woman had been injured. A reporter immediately went to the house on Loomis St., which is a square brick building that must have been constructed over sixty years ago. The bricks have weathered so many storms through the years that the ce- ment between the bricks has receded and every succeeding generation seems to have carved thir names on the front door.
 It is a three story structure, with badly worn wooden steps, long railways eff which the apartment doors open and the ceilings are so loaded with mois- ture that they have turned vel low and are pealing. On the third floor of this very depress- ing looking building the Willis family lives in four rooms that they pay $22.OO a month for. MT. Willis stating that as soon

New York, Oct. 31st-Calling upon the members of the Ameri- can Bar Association, at its 69th Annual Convention in Atlantic City, N. J., to pass a resolution for federal anti-lynching bill. Walter White, Executive Secre- tary, NAACP, sent the follow ing telegram to Willis Smith, President of the Bar Associa- tion, on October 18th:
 "We have read with deep in terest accounts of your address to the opening session of the 69th Annual Convention of American Bar Association, in which you draw an analogy be- tween the Nuremberg trial and lynchings in the United Staes, both being crimes against humanity.
 May we respectfully urge that you introduce a resolution calling for enactment of federal anti-lynching legislation, since it has been clearly demonstrated that a few of the American states either cannot or will not
