AAAANAf - "a ~ . -
Portuguez is the lad many
ring observers say has the
makings of a champion. We
saw him twice on television and
he looked like first-class fight
er. He kayoed Paddy Young the
first time and then dropped a
close decision in the rematch.
But in both fights the Costa
Rican looked very clever. The
Kid has got plenty of energy
ard starts moving in and throw
ing punches with the opening
bell and never stops until it's
over. And you'd think he had the
strength of bull for he never
seems to tire.
Another point in his favor is
his manager, Joe Gross, who mas
handled seven champions, now
has the Kid. Gross is one OF the
finest trainers in New York.
FELTON,, on the other hand, is
a pretty fair fighter himself and
right today is rated the thlro
best welterweight in the country
by Ring Magazines Nat Fleisch-
er.
There's only one thing for
sure about Lester, he certainly
hasn't ducked any of the tol
notchers. His manager, Ber'
Lamb. has scheduled three flght'
against Ike Williams, but none
has come off. Williams seems tc
get out just before ring time.
His latest trick was to post
$1,000 check for guarantee te
meet FELTON,. Williams backee
out but the check bounced hlgn

Detroit ring officials were SUI
wondering what course to take

New Pistol

Resembling both the Jap

ternally, the Ruger (named after
designer William B. Ruger) the
new automatic pistol is cham
bered for the % caliber long
rifle cartridge, regular or high
speed loads. II weighs 38 ounces
and is ga inch overall with a
434 inch barrel. Detachable ma
gazine holds Q cartridges. Unlike
most % auto pistols the Ruger
does not have a slide. Instead
the firing pin, extractor, etc,
are contained within a cylindri-
cal bolt that operates within the
receiver. The standard model is
fitted with fixed sights, check
cred hard rubber grips and
groved trigger. The Ruger han.
dies nicely and represents a
worthwhile dollar value.
There is also a new Colt
Match Target Woodsman ~
caliber automatic pistol on the
market. Differing from the par
ent gun this variation has a 4h
inch barrel, weighs 36h ounces
and is 7 inches overall. Other
than appearing shorter and be-
ing Az ounces lighter there is
no mechanical difference be-
tween the long and short barrel

period last night which melted

While 1925 fans shouted ap-
proval, the 22-year-old Ohio
husky started the fourth period,
after sitting out the previous
quarter, and Immediately went to
work chopping the New York lead.
Schnittker, who scored 13 of
his 18 points in this period, did
not limit his services to point
getting. He was the most aggres-
sive player seen wearing Caps
uniform in some time, stealing the
ball and fighting for it under the
baskets.
With 51z minutes remaining,
Schnittker tried a hook shot that
fell out of the hoop. leaped up,
grabbed the rebound and laid the
ball in to give the Caps a 1915
lead. He was fouled two minutes
later, sank both his free throws
and the Caps had a three-point
lead which they never lost.
Fred Scolari, who was high
scorer with % points. just about
sewed things up when, with 2
minutes, IA seconds to go, he
dropped in a basket and two free
throws to put the Caps in front,
82-76.
New York got within three
points of a tie with one minute
remaining, but the Caps picked up
eight points in rapid fire order on
two fouls by Scolari, a goal by
Tommy Byrnes, another by Ace
Maughan and. appropriately
enough, the last one by Schnit-
