An argument that goes back to
April 2 will be continued tonight
at Griffith Stadium when Gene
Smith of Washington and Glen
Flanagan of st. Paul meet in a
return featherweight match.
Smith, undefeated in 81 fights,
got a close split-decision victory
in their April meeting. The Gus
toners who saw that one, either
lat Uline Arena or on television,
have been discussing that verdict
ever since.
Rated off the close result of
that first fight, tonight's is q
6-to-5, take-your-choice affair as
compared to the 5-to-2 betting
with Smith the favorite last time.
Tonight's match really figures
as another even-up scrap between
two of the country's leading 1876
Founders. The 10-rounder will be

when they attempt to end long

ShantZ, who blends brilliant

Bob Matthias | Leadinq
In DecathIon Trials
With Record Pace
BY fhe Assoeioted Press

TULARE, Calf. July 2.-De-
cathlon Champion Bob Matthias
leads the way into the final five
events of the 1852 decathlon to-
night. already far ahead of his
own brilliant feats of the past in
"a drive toward the Olympic
Games. his second straight tri-
umph in this international battle
and his fourth national cham
|pionship.
Tonight the handsome, 6-foot-2,
200-pound pride of Tulare and
Stanford University bids fair to
outShine even his marks last
night, when he surpassed every
thing he had ever done before in
the gruelling decathlon competi-
ton. Matthias was better in the
100 meters, the broad jump. the
shot put, the high jump and the
400-meter dash.
Tonight he competes in the
high hurdles, the discus, the pole
vault, javelin and 1,500-meter
run. And his big events are the
hurdles and discus.
Ahead of His Record.
Matthias racked up 1894 points
last night, 100 points more than
he scored in his record breaking
performance in 1850 at the half
way mark. And since 1850, the
scoring system has been revised,
generally downward. His 1948
Olympic halfway mark was only
3,848 points.
Matthias closest rival is Milton
Campbell, a high school sensation
in the East, from Plainf1eld, N. j.,
who scored 4.192 points, % points
behind the champion.
Trailing in the bid for the three
places on the United States de-
cathlon team are Bill Albans, Los
Angeles Athletic Club, at 4,1O9;
Floyd Simmons, also of the
LAAC, $3.50. and Bill Miller, Navy
Olympics, from Arizona State at
Tempe, 3,712.
Two Of the seeded IL athletes,
Billy 1 Anderson and Jim Cooke,
both eof the Army, dropped out
with muscle injuries.
Campbell a Surprise.
Campbell, an 1S-year-old all
round track and football star, was
the main surprise, but the big
show for the hometown fans who
crowded nearly 5000 strong into
the Union High School Stadium
was Tulare's Bob.
Matthias started out with O:1O:8
in the 100-meter dash, better than
his 0:10.9 two years ago. He
broadjumped % feet, 5 inches and
put the shot 49-1OH, improving
his 1850 marks of 1885 and
47-6A. He ran the 400 meters in
lO:50.8, improving his old time in
the decathlon of 0:51. His 1884
was far ahead of his Olympic
score of 3,848.
Matthias started his winning
career in 1948 when he won the
national title and went on to win
the Olympics. He took the ma
tional again in 1949-195O and re-
mained out Of the decathlon last
lyear.
Pole Vaulter Bob Richards won
last year but passed up the event
this time to nurse a leg injury.

The answers in some cases must be affirm
ative. Matthews was hack until Hurley
took him under his wing. A dead-broke fighter
who wasn't very interesting to watch. Now
he's up in the big time, with big payday
coming when he fights Rocky Marciano late
this month.
Funny thing, nobody seems completely
certain the fellow can even fight. Up to now,
Matthews is regarded as something invented

WHY be bothered with crawl

there is no need to tolerate reaches,
ants, waterbugs or silverfsh.
Science has just come forth with
a new discovery, a colorless, odor-|
less, stainless coating that controls
these pests and that stays effective
for months. 1t is called Johnston's
NO-ROACH.
Just brush this liquid near cabi-

reaches and silverfsh. Applied to
these spots, the coating attracts
reaches. They will walk across it
contracting the chlordane. Within
two or three hours they become
paralyzed and die. The coating
stays effective for months to kill
any strays and thus prevent re-
infestation.

NATURAL COLORED
WOOD FINISHES

Many homemakers are discover
ing the beauty of natural colors
in woods used in their furniture
and walls, and wish to finish these
woods to maintain their soft, light,
clear tones.
There are new products on the
market. which the amateur can
handle, designed to protect the
beauty of the wood and to avoid
the hard yellowish tone of varnish
and the darkening muddy tone of
wood stain
It is not necessary to bleach the
wood before finishing if the color
is clear and satisfactory to you.
The first step in finishing is to
sand all surfaces lightly and even
w until they are satin smooth. Dust
thoroughly. Fill all holes, dents
or Clipped places with putty tinted
to the color of the wood and sand
over these places lightly.
For a finish which will protect
the wood and its soft, clear color
