|Unbeaten Smith Faces
Bell in 8-Round Bout
On West Benefit Bill

Little Gene Smith, the young
Washington featherweight who
helped put some zip in that divi-
sion here with a string of knock
outs when he started his career
about a year and a half ago, is
coming back to fight on the Sonny
Boy West benefit boxing program
next Thursday at Uline Arena.
The undefeated 19-year-old
will be making his first District
appearance in about six months
when he goes against Bobby Bell
of Youngstown. Ohio. in one of
the 8-rounders. Bell is a former
stablemate of Beau Jack, former
lightweight champion, and picked
up his bolo-punching technique
from him. Bell has shown twice
in Washington. He lost to Willie
Pep, then featherweight cham
pion, last summer at Griffith
Stadium, and previously beat
Charley Titone at a time when
T1tone was a top f1ghter.
Smith still is undefeated in %
fights, having won more than half
by knockouts. His best victory so
far was over Little Dynamite, the
lad who recently won over Jimmy
Cooper, the District featherweight
champion.
Another 8-rounder booked by
Matchmaker Goldie Ahearn is be-
tween two District light heavy
weights, Julian Keene and Johnny
Pratt. Keene is the District IT'S
pound champion. having won that
bauble by defeating Roland Ran
dali. He recently continued his
string by knocking out Chief Red
Arrow here. Pratt, in his last
outing, stopped Art Bethea.
Heading the program is a 10
rounder between LightWeights
Percy Bassett and Red Top Davis.
Proceeds of the show go to the
family of Sonny Boy West. the
Washington fighter, who died last
week in New York following his
knockout by Bassett.

.Speedboat Racing Hit
As Big Company Halls
Marine Fuel Supply

A major supplier of marine
gasoline used by speedboat drivers
in the East today disclosed it had
halted production of the fuel in
order to provide the Air Force with
aviation gasoline.
Some racing experts in the
Washington area saw the move as
| the beginning of the end for rae
ing for the duration of the ma
tional emergency.
j. Milo Torrance of Gulf Oil
Co. said the company had stopped
making marine white gasoline and
will not supply inboard drivers
with fuel and oil at any regattas
in 1851.
Dinner Is Cancelled.
In addition, its annual Hall of
Fame dinner honoring the Ma
tons ace drivers has been can
celed. 1t was to have been held
in New York January 13.
Meanwhile, racing enthusiasts
here received the news as some
thing that was bound to come.
Aubrey Thacker, newly elected
commodore of Capital Power Boat
Association, said the voluntary
cutback by Gulf probably would
trim participation at regattas by
at least so per cent.
Jack Hyde, retiring commodore
of the racing group, commented:
This looks like the forerunner
of a complete clamping down on
some sports. We've got a war on
our hands. Why not face it?"
Use of Fuel Not Banned.
Hudson Moses. newly named
executive vice president of Ameri-
can Power Boat Association, said
inboard drivers could still race
with standard gasoline if they
insisted on keeping the sport
going.
One driver pointed out that he
could still go to an airport and
buy aviation fuel if he wanted as
the Government has not forbid
den its use by racers.
However. there was general
feeling that if other companies
follow Cuffs action, then no ad-
iministration ban would be neces-
sary.
Stock auto car racing circles
have been buzzing for some time
over reports that that sport would
be shelved for the duration.

two hours. in 5-degree tempera-

to agree with his judgment. But
it is still one of the greatest of
sports, and we're proud to be
classed as one of that crazy group,

are a couple of million. Perhaps
1t is a case, as our old friend the

the ducks and gulls. we witnessed
an interesting sight. A school of
