King by Murray

Smashed knuckles on his right
hand, the result of hitting his

caused Puggy Kings downfall again
last night. The young District
featherweight lost on technical
Knockout to Young Lee Q. Murray
(real name, Charles Green) OF Bal
tinore, when Referee Ray Bowen
stopped the fight In the sixth round.
Those are the same knuckles frac-
tured in the first fight against JIM

official score sheets King had point
lead over the Baltimore battler
when the tight was stopped.
In what proved best OF the three
eight-rounders heading the program,

upset Art Bethea Of Washington.

bouts, paying gross gate OF $2,23o.s9

That torrid rivalry between the
Caps and the Baltimore Bullets,
loaded with all the fireworks OF a
Fourth of July celebration, will flare
again tomorrow night at Uline
Arena when the teams square on
at $50 o'clock for their fifth basket
ball association game.
The Caps took the first three
games, but had to fight all the way.
Their biggest margin was run up
In the opener when they clipped
the Bullets by eight points, 63-55.
Then the Bullets found the basket
last Friday night in Baltimore to
win, 95-7l. Only once before this
season were the Caps so Inundated.
The Baltimore defeat left its mark
on the Caps for on Saturday against
the Chicago Stays they played about
their poorest home game OF the sea-
son. They won, but only because
the Stays were slightly worse.
The Caps should be up for tomor-
row nights game, however. A win
would help take the sting out OF
that loss in Baltimore last week,
and also send them to a tie Tor the
Western Division lead.

tonight and do hts share of skating
against the Buffalo Bisons in their
game at Uline Arena. Jack hasn't
played for more than a year, but
still is capable of putting up good
game.
His return may be made necessary
by the acute manpower shortage

Locke, somewhat of legendary

here last April, Immediately became
the favorite son of the PGA tour.
The folks liked his mannerisms. his
little courtesies, the way he wore
his knickers.
The dapper chap from Johannes

golf fans liked, he won tourna-
ments, although he spurned the
practice tee, which was good news
to the lazy golfers, and he brought
back the putt as the most impor-
tant stroke In the game.
The pros did not resent Locke
stepping In as the top money maker.
They knew a fellow his type was
good for the game. They gave two
parties in his honor on the tour.
From here it looks like no contest.
