Make-or-Break Battle
For BIB Due, Although
Odds ON Shank Fall

Odds against Bee Bee Washing
ton for his fight tonight against
Ruben Shank at Griffith Stadium
dropped slightly over the week end
and the Georgetown colored scrap
per now is an 8-5 underdog as COM
pared to the 81 quoted against him
most of last week.
This is a do-or-die effort for the
popular local middleweight a
chance to keep from slipping back
among the prelim boys. Shank is
much classier than the regular run
of Double-Bs opposition, and win
for Washington tonight would help
him regain some of the prestige lost
when he hit the deck and stayed
there in the ninth round of his
Aaron Perry engagement in May.
BIB Still Highly Regarded.
- Washington still has his large
group of ardent followers, with his
popularity based as much on his
exemplary private life as on his
pleasing ring style. Unlike many
fighters, BIB has not tossed his coin
away, but has used it wisely in buy
ing home and raising four boys.
In the ring he's a good mixer and
doesn't run away, but he has a
Weakness-a lack OF punch.
Aside from Perry. his record
shows no fighter of Shank's class
The Cowboy has been in the ring
with Henry Armstrong, Ray Robin
son, Winnie Vines and Fritzie zivic
and his recent loss to Ossie Harris,
who is not regarded too highly
here in the District, came as some
thing of a surprise. The setback
is one thing holding down the odds
in his favor, as otherwise he would
be much more than 8-5 choice to
take Bee Bee.
Shank recently was discharged
from the Coast Guard and before
he entered the service he was tagged
as a coming headliner among the
middleWeights. He never has fought
in Washington. but Heinie Miller,
chairman of the District Boxing
Commission, saw him in several
bouts in Norfolk and reports him as
a busy, slashing fighter certain to
please fans here unless he's gone
far back from his prewar style.
Shank Gives Away Weight.
It's probable that the Cowboy "a,
hasn't slipped at all, but rather has
gone forward.
Shank probably will weigh 1853
tonight, with Double-B around 161,
three pounds more than he was
against Perry.

Mr.. Churchill Finds the President
Not Exactly Night-OwI

| into the not-so-small hours of the
morning.
Those scintillating conversations
that take place around diplomatic
dinner tables yield occasional rich
results. There is the case of the
young Canadian who found himself
sitting next to the wife of Latin
American emissary at an embassy
dinner here. The lady spoke no
English; he spoke no Spanish. The
going was sticky.
Along about the main course the
lady began to fidget, obviously get
ting ready for an attempt at CONVEX
sation. BY the time the salad came
she was ready. She turned to the
Canadian and said, very slowly and
distinctly: He go Cooba.'
The young man was alert; he
pounced on the ball without further
ado. "Ah," he said, your husband
is being transferred to Cuba. How
nice for both of you'll 1t is lovely
in Cuba this time of year."
But the lady was already shaking
her head. mo" she said, even more
slowly. HE go Cooba.'
"Oh, I see." The Canadian was
still in there swinging your hus-
band has been to Cuba. That's
wonderful. You know, I've always
wanted to go >"
Again the head-shaking. After
two more exchanges of this sort, the
lady had lengthy conversation in
Spanish with her husband at the
other end of the table. Then he
translated:
"She says Sir John Broderick,
who was British Minister to Cuba
