Montgomery And PetrOne May Sell
 Out Thursday

New Haven, March 20-Boio Mont gomery, the worlds lightweight champion, will fight Ernie Petrone in the main bout of 10 rounds at the Arena here tomorrow night and 1t will not occasion too much surprise if Petrone is the winner.
 Montgomery is favored, of course, and he will continue to be the choice in the betting, but among the thousands who saw Petrone score twice over Julie Kogon there are many who firmly believe that he will outpoint the titleholder. The crown is not at stake, but the in- centive to beat the champ is strong and Petrone is determined to make the best of his opportunity.
 Connecticut fighters on the card are Frankie Foley of New Haven, 14O, who fights Eddie Patton of Philadelphia; Henry Holt of Dan- bury, opposing Bobby Garcia, Jr., Baltimore welter; and Joe DeMar- tino, Bridgeport, matched with Ti- ger Nelson, New York welter. These are all sizes, and a fourth six rounder pairs George Kid Clancy of Baltimore and Lou Perez of New York. Middleweight Jimmy Null ligan of Boston was originally bil- led with Chaney, but pulled out due to an injured arm.

(Reg. U. s. Pat. Off, By OSCAR FRALEY Tr..:15 Dro~S Cnorts Writer

Tampa Fla. March 20-(UP)- Fearless Fraley's inside info from the spring training camps found in dressing rooms, hotels and orange juice bars. -
 Walter O. Briggs, Jr, better known as Spike" was inhaling some of the aforementioned orange iuice in Miami Beach and relating how Briggs Stadium in Detroit aI- most got ivy on the walls-but not quite.
 Mother and Dad Tiger owner) were watching the sixth game of last years series at Wrigley F1elo in Chicago and Mother was admir- ing the ivy on the center field wall, :" Spike recalled. Mother had just about sold Dad on the idea of beau- tifying Briggs Stadium with ivy like Wrigley Field has.
 "Then Andy Pafko of the Cubs hit that ball into the ivy in center field and our outfielder, Doc. Ora mer, lost it. A run came in and Dad banged his hand on the railing ana yelled:
 '"rhere will be none of that in Briggs Stadium"
 Undue influence, Spike admits.
 He also told of a heretofore ur1- revealed incident of the same De- troit winning series.
 You newspaper guys are sup posed to be smart" said Spike, feel ing his citrus cider. But nobody noticed that Eddie Mayo, our sec ond baSeman, made the final out and rushed the ball over to where Dad was sitting and presented 1t to him." Young Spike is entitled to a hearty laugh.
 Smuggler Green
 Earl Hilligan, personable publicity man of the American League, tells this one about coming back with the Red Sox from Cuba. There was a party of 40 returning, flying back to Miami, and eventually they reached the rather nonchalant cus- toms officials.
 The squad was about ot be passed through in the usual perfunctorJ manner when Broadway Charley Wagner, Bosox pitcher, walked uE intentionally behind Trainer Winr Green, and asked innocently:
 Say, Vim, did they ever catcf you smuggling in that stuff iron South America four years ago?"
 The customs man perked up hi ears like started South Carolina mule and proceeded to make very l thorough search of Greens luggage All he found was dirty laundry.
 Mary Grissom, promising Gian rookie pitcher, is brother of Let Grissom of the Phils but alleges tha Lee never taught him anything. Let told him to "go out and learn it thu hard way, like l did" Some batter' claim that's an overstatement.
 The "eatingest guy" in the spring camps is Dave (Boo) Ferris, Sensa' tional Bosox sophomore, according to Manager Joe Cronin. And Charlie (not Charley) Ripple, Phil pitcher

Riggs Us Budge AN. H. Friday

New Haven, March 20-There doesn't seem to be any doubt that Bobby Riggs, who plays Don Budge in singles and doubles on the pro tennis program at the Arena here on Friday night of this week, is the champion of the world.
 Riggs was beating the best of them before he went into the Navy. In service he took on Frankie Parker, the national amateur champion, last summer in the Pacific area. He beat Parker in their series. Then he faced Don Budge, rated as the pro cham pion of the world, and knocked off the famous red head, not in one match but in three.
 Then he offered to play Budge in a % match series, one of which is to be played at the Arena here on Fri day. In half dozen meetings thus far Riggs is still unbeaten. He might win all 25. He's that good.

"A Little of This and That

Among the many interesting points of information contained In Dan Parker's current story on Nat Fleischer, MT. Boxing" in the Sat urday Evening Post is the part about Jack Johnson's signed confession" that Jack took a dive" for Jess Willard in the famous outdoor heavyweight title bout at Havana, Cuba in 1915. Fleischer bought the Johnson confession for $250 and has kept 1t in his safe for several years, Nat preferring to believe, having seen the Johnson willard title fight, that Big Jack, in raising his arm to shade his eyes from the broiling sun, twas the act of semi-conscious man" and has never printed the arr ticle because it's publication would be to the detriment of the boxing game. The Parker article further explains that Johnson tried to buy back his signed confession" but Fleischer would not sell. Incident ally, Nat is Dan Parker's publicly announced nominee for the vacancy on the New York boxing commis- sion, since the death of the late General John J. Phelan, which oc- kcurred several weeks ago .s Use of their star, Rocky Petrafessa by the Red Devils of West Haven, even for half the game Sunday night, would have brought victory rather than a three point setback at the hands of the Waterbury Guards, many basketball observers believe, but Rocky will be ready for action against the Guards next Sunday night in the Red Cross benefit game at the armory. Dick Crane, the Country Club of Waterbury golfer, is doing a nice job as chairman of the Si35, 900 Red Cross financial campaign for Waterbury having rounded up about $S0,000 to date which is g. good sign of success to- ward the end of the month when the campaign winds up. CCNY put up quite "beef" to Promoter Ned Irish and the committee which selected the college hoop teams for the current invitational tourney, be- cause Nat Holman's club was left out after beating top-ranked NYU; but Rhode Islands Rams a 20 to l underdog to win the tournament and picked as the final team to complete the tourney roster, seems to have borne out the judgment of the selectors, who spurned Nat Hol- mans club in favor of Frank Keaney's amazing lads from little Rhody and more amazing individual little" Ernie Calverly, the hottest hoopster for his size since the Or iginal Celtics Johnny Becknan.
