To Determine
Official Lightweight
Champion

PHILADELPHIA, June 8. -(P)-
A final settlement on the long .
disputed lightweight boxing cham
pionship was promised today with
signing of Philadelphia Bob Mont
gomery and Ike Villains of Tren-
ton, N. j., for a 15-round title bout
at Municipal stadium August 4.
Montgomery is recognized as
champ by the New York State
Athletic commission and affiliated
states. Williams wears the same
crown under sanction of the NG-
tional Boxing Association, another
group OF state fistic governing
bodies.
Managers of the two principals
signed contracts and posted $1,5O0
'forfeits for the battle under pro-
motion of Herman Taylor and
. sponsorship of Philadelphia In
'quirer Charities, Inc.
!. 1t will be only the second ring
meeting between the two Negro
sluggers who have built up a bit
ter personal feud over the years.
Their first battle in 1874 was one
OF the bitterest and blcddiest ever
seen here, with Montgomery hand
ing Williams a brutal beating be-
fore knocking him out in the last
minute of the 18th round.
However Williams will be back
in the focus OF more yes than
Montgomery's when Ike meets
Tippy Larkin of Garfield, N. j.,
In a 1O-round non-title bout June
20 at Madison Square Garden.
Although no fights have been
signed for Philadelphia's Bobc a t
prior to the championship bout,
Montgomery's manager is report
ed to be lining up several in New
England.
Montgomery and Williams a
about evenly matched for the title
shot with Ike having scored 80
in 80 fights as against
'Montgomery's record of As Kayos
In SO. However. Williams has a
age advantage over the
.38-year old Montgomery.

LOCKE FAVORED
BY EX-CHAMPI0N
BY HAROLD CLAASSEN

NEW YORK, June 3-P-Gene
Sarazen, winner of the u. S. Open
golf title in 1922 and 1882, wouldn't
be a bit surprised If Bobby Locke
Of South Africa, ended the 27-year
reign of American linksmen in the
1947 open championships at st.
Louis next week.
The ruddy-faced visitor, who has
averaged 1888 strokes per round
in the six tournaments since ar
irving in the U. S., is the best
golfing importation since Harry
Vardon, Sarazen argued today.
Vardon competed in the open, the
year it went to Ted Ray of Great
Britain, in a playoff with Francis
Ouimet, 30-odd years ago.
And Sarazen isn't alone in some
phases of his predictions. Jimmy
Demaret, who with Locke and
Ben Hogan likely will start as
favorites in the open, declares the
ex-Royal Airforce aier is straight
from tee to green and Fred Cor
coran, PEA promotion manager,
lists the visitor as an excellent
putter.
