Maryland, with all eight Of its

'I'n be shooting for a kayo,"

The bookmakers, aware of Pep's
dazzling workouts in Hartford,
have established Willy the Wisp
as a standout 5-to-18 favorite.
It's even money that the Hart
ford Hurricane will stop the in

Despite the big odds against the
challenger, a good-sized crowd of
more than $4,000, including thou
sands of Pops loyal legions from
Connecticut, is expected to turn
out for Willie's third title defense
within six months.
Thousands more will watch the
bout via television over the NBC
network. The scrap. which will
start at 10 pm. also will be
broadcast over the ABC system.

Pep looked magnificent in
training. He displayed the same
vicious left hooks and teeth
rattling rights which enabled him
to belt out his last two title chal-
lengers.

seven frames last September and
Charlie Riley was rocked to sleep

Famechon, however. never has
been stopped nor floored In go
pro starts against Europe's best.
He has won 81 of so contests and
has scored 81 knockouts.
In some Of his workouts he
looked like a real pro. He showed
an excellent left jab and left hook,
a snappy right and a willingness
to mix. He is reported to have
a world of endurance and to be
dead game.
The main question Is his punch.
Those who saw him abroad say
he throws too much leather to set
himself for knockout against a
good fighter.
Sandy Saddler is the only fight
er who ever has gained the edge
on Pep in 149 contests. Sammy
Angott, crack lightweight at the
time, outpointed him, and Jimmy
McAllister held him to a draw.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. Mar.
17.-Bucky Harris has been intro
duced to his pitching staff and it
isn't case of love at first sight.
He has seen Washington pitchers
permit an average of more than 8
runs in four games, largely due
to an avalanche of 81 walks.
He sees little prospect of imme-
diate help for the Mats from a
pitching standpoint, nor is there
likely to be any appreciable

Yanks Ease Up on Weik.
After the Yankees compiled a

they swung when the count was

Dick Weik the embarrassment of
issuing more than four walks in
the four innings he toiled.

start he walked five successive
batters.
Equally distressing was the per-
formance of Lloyd Hittle, the $685.
900 left-hander. Harris has been
banking on Hittle and Weik as
starters, but has received little en-
couragement from either.
Hittle was banged for seven
runs in the first two innings. Di
Maggie singled across a run in
the first inning. then belted a
440-foot 3-run homer in the sec

the vast relief of the Mats.
Mickey Harris Impressive.
There was one slim measure of
consolation for Bucky in the be-
havior of Mickey Harris. The
Mats manager is banking on
Mickey as his foremost relief
pitcher and the veteran left
handler gave those plans a boost
when he checked the Yankees
without a hit in the last two in
nings.
The Mats produced their only
runs in the fourth inning at
Lopat's expense when Eddie Rob-
inson walked and Sam Mele
waited a home run over the left

II tried to be funny" said DR.
Britton. 'The suggestion that
apes, already almost annihilated
by the worlds greatest predator
man, might be lifted higher on
the evolutionary scale by arti-
fetal breeding, is not original
with me. All I did was quote
other physiologists on the subject
and remark that creation of a
new type of beast might again
lead to traffic in slavery.
Il realize now that slavery was
the wrong word. I was discuss
ing better beasts, not subhumans.
Horses and dogs are not consid-
cred slaves. Nor would the product
of an effort to save chimpanzees
and gorillas from biological
blind alley be considered slave" "
The physiologist said he would
be the first to agree that the pos
sible up-breeding of apes would
raise moral and ethical questions
which would have to be faced. He
noted that questions of this ma
ture were raised when the 60
ahead was given on the atom
bomb.
But from the standpoint of cold
scientific curiosity, he added, the
cross breeding poses no scientific
difficulty and therefore will be at
tempted if it already has not
been.
