Jones arrived Sunday and lim- bered up Sunday afternoon with a! brief workout in the Roberts gym- nasium. He appeared to be “in the!

Jones and Petrolle are about the same age and the ‘Kansas Ctiy youth said he hopes to give, Billv the same asting” which enabled him lecision over Petrolle sev- eral years ago. Among other things he expressed the belief that he has the “Indian sign’ on Petrolle and that the Express will have to travel at top speed to prevent a Jerailment. A loss for Petrolle here would b serious setback to Petrolle's Petroll- Arrives Petrolle arrived at noon, accon panied by his manager, Jack Hur-!

Local sportsmen who have watched it un- der construction said it will be the finest and strongest ring ever con- structed for a boxing match in this section of the state.

IN | TWO ARENAS Godfrey-Uzcudun, Heeney-De- laney Fights, Occur on Two Coasts BY ALAN J, GOULD Associated Press Sports Editor New York, 27. Feb, 27.—A4)— This is the week that the heavy- weights come back into the fistic spotlight. The elimination process will be taken up_in two widely-separated sectors. The outstanding nonunion members of the heavyweight clan, George Godfrey and Paulino Uzcudun, fight tomorrow night at Los Angeles. Two days later an of- ficial elimination in Madison Square Garden will_ bring together Tom Heeney and Jack Delaney. The nonunion bout on the Pacific coast may be the more interesting of the two but it will have no bear- ing on té> official program unless Paulino eliminates the “Black Men- ace.” Only a decisive victory for Paulino can upset the prospect that | Gene Tunney’s June opponent, if any, is to come from a survivor of the Delaney-Heeney or Sharkey-Ris- ko fights. Godfrey Has No Chance Godfrey, however, cannot hope to crowd into the championship pic- ture, no matter what he does to Paulino or any other contender. His manager has said some disparaging things about Tunney and the cther organization heavyweights. As a result, Godfrey’s quest of a title match is likely to be just a. fruit- less as was that of Har ‘lis. It has been anything but a satis- eras winter for the heavyweights so lar. Business has: suffered from too much elimination, including the elimination of Jack Dempsey. But if the elimination of the old Manassa Mauler is no more lasting than that of some of the other con- tenders there is little reason to doubt the possibility of a third Dempsey-Tunney fight. Little Fellows Are Sensation Most of Tex Rickard’s big shots during the past few years have been with the heavyweights but a few more fighting terrors such as Jimmy McLarnin may make the promoter forget some of his concentration on the bigger brigade. The little fellows have bzen pack- ing ’em in this winter to a greater extent than in -years. .The Can- zoneri - Bass tilt- for the feather- weight crown, the Hudkins-Baker welterweight clash and McLarnin- Terris fray have given the fans more exicting action than a half “Seedy heavyweight elimination outs. McLarnin just now looms as the greatest drawing card any division had, outside of th: heavy- weights, since the heydays of Ben- ny Leonard, who:e two famous fights with Lew Tendler drew an ag- gregate of more than $800,000 in outdoor arenas. A McLarnin-Mandell battle at the Yankee stadium for the lightweight crown might easily be ballyhooed into one of the biggest outdoor at- tractions of the summer. There are at least three other| boon “naturals” outside the heavy list— a return match between Canzoneri and Bass, a bout between Ace Hud- kins and Joe Dundee for the welter title and a return go between Tom- my Loughran and Leo Lomski for the light heavyweight championship. Helen Wills Going Strong The early tennis returns from the Pacific coast carry no soothing note to the prospective rivals of Helen Wills this season. : The performance of th~ aueen of the courts in holding little Bill John- ston to even terms in a smashing exhibition match at scores of 13-11, 6-8, is astonishing even to those who have watched remarkable de- epemest of stroking power in the California girl’s game. It was, as one observer put it, “one of the most am: exhibi- tions of feminine tennis skill ever seen in California,” even if Johnston was obviously short of practice. Betty Nuthall, “Beaming Betty” of the Continental courts, will need her new over-hand service and an effective one if she is to cope with the power of Miss Wills’ attack abroad this year. The young Eng- lish girl, finalist in the American ham ponshy last year against Miss Wills, iE generally looked upon as the California’s most ‘teresting rival. It will be one of the high spots of the court campaign when they meet at Wimbledon in June.

Herman Ratzlaff Makes Remarkable Ring Debut! Minot Iron Man Who Fights Here Tomorrow Night Is Fa- vorite of Northwest North Dakota Fight Fans—Gives Twin City Boxers Plenty of Beatings BY W. M. JOHNSON Daily News 8 Editor Minot, N. Ratzlaff, known throughout north- Western North Dakota and eastern Montana as Minot’s Iron Man, is a D., Feb. 27.—Herman welterweight boxer who has made remarkable progress in the pive and take game during the past year. A rugged battler with high explosive in both mitts, he is a fighter rather than a boxer, one of those “av-kward- ly clever” chaps who fool the ortho- dox one-two type of ringman, Herman bores in continually, be- ing all business whcn in the ring, and has the stamina to travel at his best clip for more than the 10 round journey. Two recent startling achievements have gained him more than statewide fame—he gave Bob- by O'Shea of Minneapolis a neat pasting and the: shaded Morrie Green of the same metropolis. O'Shea, after the fight wit’: the Iron Kid, declared he would rather fight An Van Ryan any time that face the Minot southpaw again. E Green gave Herman more of a battle than did O’Shea brt was licked witho.. qr ‘stion. Ratzie, who has become rather an| guard idol to Minot ring fans, a year ago was an ordinary catcher with a punch. In fact he lost a Jec‘sion to Earl Orton at Fargo in January of 1927. He evened the score with Or- | bi ton in the same :nonth and since then has met and vanquished a num- ber of highly rated performers. Emulates Casey Jones Just 20 years old, ihe Iron Man works daily at his job in the Great Northern roundhouse and picks up a few hundred dollar bills now and then by following his favorite sport —knock ’em down and hear the third man count. He has fought more than 50 professional bouts, with but -|three defeats chalked against him. Never yet has he heard the referee toll the fatal 10, though Ratzie often has been knocked off his pins. In fact, Cavanagh may do that Tues- day evening, but he will find Her- man up and at ’em before the count is started. ~ In each of his defeats, the Minoter was outpointed by more skilled and experienced boxers, except in the case of Orton where Ratzlaff got off to a bad iirst round and was dropped twice in the opening stanza. He came back to carry the final two rounds of the octet which the boys played with the gloves. Irish Ken- nedy of St. Paul shaded the local chap a year ago, and prior to that Bud Nelson of Hankinson gave Her- man a boxing lesson at Granville. Since that time Ratlaff’s stable- mate, Johnny Compton has beaten both of these boys, gaining a tech- nical over Nelson. Compton, ag- gressive and flashy, in recent cards has been forced to take the semi- windup niche in the hal’ of fame, with the Iron Duke heading the bill. M. W. Whalen, Minot promoter, has found difficulties in obtaining} mM good opponents for Herman and has forced to import Twin City boys to furnish argume’ts for his hardhitting phenom. My Sullivan of St. Paul is being considered as the next antagonist for the local boy.

Schave, Jarrett Clever Curtis Schave and Glenn Jarrett, lads who carried the Grand Forks high school team to great heights last year, were the outstanding per- formers on the court. This pai with quick breaks for the net, made life miserable for the Baby Bison guards. Their speed afoot made it 1 possible for their centcr and one to fqjlow them deep into Bison territory on the offensive be- cause, if their efforts failed they were swift enough to return on the defensive before the Bison could reak. z Schave was high scorer for the victors with four field goals, while Stanley Gorder. center, was next high with three. Jarrett contribut- ed two field goals while Johnny| McNeese, Jimmy Olson and Johnny; Larson each made one. The university lads started away with a rush in the first period and| piled up a 9 to 1 advantage during the first 10 minutes of action. At half time the count stood 16 to 8 for the university. The Bison rallied for a brief .pell at the start of the third quarter, but the Nodaks fin- ished strong, leading 23 to 14 when the two minute rest period was called.
