So impressive was Feather
weight Jimmy Cooper in knocking
out Pat Thomas last night at
Turner's Arena that he imme-
diately was matched with Gene
Smith, another District feather
weight, in the fight that will open
the outdoor boxing season at
Griffith Stadium May 7.
It took Cooper until only Is
seconds of the third round to put
Thomas away, after which
Cooper's manager, Billy Banks,
said, We'll take on Gene Smith
at any time. He's been challeng-
ing us and he might as well get
it too"
Smith is the hard-hitting
youngster who flashed to promi-
nence in the last year with a long
string of victories, mostly by
He long has wanted
a chance at Cooper.
Biggest Natural in Years.
Matchmaker Gabe Menendez
was enthusiastic about getting the
two fighters together. 1T will be
the biggest natural we've had for
years, just like the good old days"
he said. I'm going to specify
that the winner must meet Little
Dynamite"
Cooper at 1914 pounds was
lighter and in better shape than
for some time. Thomas at 1913
landed several good shots in the
first round. but his punch was
gone and he failed to do any
damage. Actually Thomas with
his boring-in style was made to
order for Cooper. Cooper hit
Thomas with short hooks in the
second round and twice drove him
to the canvas.
Bell Saves Thomas.
Thomas had heart but nothing
else and tried to slug with Cooper.
The bell saved Pat the second
time he was down in the second
round, and Cooper completed the
knockout with another vicious
hook in the third.
Despite the rain a crowd of

Ferrier Bags $1,000
Third Time in ; Weeks
In jacksonville Win
BY the Associated Press

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Mar. 20.
Big Jim Terriers steady golf
game keeps paying him dividends
of $4,000 a week.
The Australian born profess
sional had a comfortable margin
of IL strokes when he won the
$4,000 Jacksonville Open yeSter-
day with 272. He shot 68 each
of the four days. He won a week
earlier at Miami Beach and two
weeks ago at st. Petersburg.
Terriers Is under par 272 was
a competitive record for the roll
ing 6,-508-yard Hyde Park links.
Lloyd Mangrum of Chicago
managed to keep Terrier from dis
placing him as leading money
winner Of the year.
Mangrum shared second place
with Jack Shields of Cedar Rap
ids, Iowa. Each collected $1,000
for their 283 score. And Man
grum's cash brought his total for
1851 to $8,326. Terriers third
straight $4,000 lifted him to
$8,262.
Putt at Right Time Helps.
What made such a difference
in Terriers golf game that he
wins three in a row-the first time
that has been done in years
after missing the top money since
the st. Paul Open last year?
Pointing to his many second
place finishes of 1850, when he was
Second-money winner, Terrier said
the difference between winning
and coming close can't be credited
to any change in stance or swing
or such things.
Just make a putt at the right
time" he said. 1t lifts you men
tally to a position you feel your
are going to win"
That happened to him when he
dropped three long ones and shot
81 in the opening round at st.
CGC1 14C1l 4lC 11cu q VI
in the second round at Miami
Beach. Steady golf and confidence
carried him through to the three
victories.
Only IL Better Par.
Only II players bettered par for
the 72-hole Jacksonville tourna-
ment. Besides the top three they
were Lew Worsham of Oakmont,
Pa. and John Palmer of Badin,
N c., at 285: Jackson Bradley of
Chicago, Dave Douglas of Newark,
Del. Ed Furgol of Royal Oak,
Mich, Art Wall. jr., of Bronxville,
N. Y. and Bob Toski of Northamp-
ton, Mass. at 286, and Jim Tur-
mesa of Briarcliff, N. Y, at 287.
George Fazio of Washington,
D. c.. totaled 290 for a prize of
$101.66.
Best of the amateurs was Tom
Strange of Cincinnati with 297.

Squirrel Season
Date Corrected

In the announcement last week
from the State Game and Inland Fish
Commission, concerning open season
dates ON upland game, the commits
sion failed to mention the exceptions
in Garrett county, and as result
Lloyd Cook, district game warden,
has been besieged with telephone
calls, particularly concerning the
squirrel season.
The squirrel season in Garrett
county opens on October 10, and
closes ON October 31st. This was made
mandatory as the result of bill
passed at the last session of the
General Assembly which stated that
there could be no squirrel season in
Garrett county earlier than October
10. The squirrel season throughout
the balance of the state opens on
October 5.
Concerning mourning doves, there
is no open season at all on them in
Garrett county, Cook stated. Through
out the balance of the state the
season opens October 5.

Communists 10 Stage
Prague Peace Council
By the Associated Press

VIENNA, Austria, Sept. g.
Allied sources said yesterday the
Communist World Peace Council,
center of MoscoW's current peace
offensive, has called an important
meeting for September IS in
Prague, CzechoSlovakia.
High Cominform leaders have
arrived here en- route to Prague,
where they will discuss new pro-
grams. the results of conferences
and a system of communications, -
the informants said. They may
study Kremlin policies in the light
!of the japanese peace conference
and MoscoW's current attitude
toward the Korean war.
The World Peace Council is
MoscoW's key propaganda organ
at the present time. 1t first met
in February of this year in Berlin,
at which the so-called Berlin peace
appeal was adopted, demanding a
pact of peace to be signed by the
United States, the Soviet Union,
Red China, France and Britain
The appeal-like the anti-atom
bomb Stockholm appeal before it
has been circulated widely
throughout the satellite countries
for signatures. The Russians now
claim it has been signed by more
than 400 million persons, and have
lust launched a campaign to have
it signed by every adult citizen of
the Soviet Union.
There was some speculation here
that the forthcoming meeting
might afford some hint as to the
Kremhn'S future policies with re-
gard to the Maverick Communists
of Marshal Tito's Yugoslavia.
