CHICAGO LEFT HOOK THIRD FOR 9 COUNT Fargoan Finally Wins Official Decision, Which Fans Gave Him First Time MILLER RALLIES Paddy Harmen, Chicago Stadi- um Head, Would Match Far- goan With Canzoneri IN NINTH Detroit, June 7.—(P)—Billy Petrolle, the Fargo Expr moved to the front rank. of challengers for the world lightweight championship today as a result of his 10-round victory over Ray Miller, the Chicago left hooker, in the Olympia arena last night. Petrolle defeated Miller by carrying the fight to him in five of the 10 rounds. He upset Miller in the third with a short xight cross to the chin, flooring him for a count of nine Miller tried to flag down the Fargo Express and nearly succeeded in the ninth, but Petrolie stepped inside of his left hand leads and avoided Miller's rights. May Meet Canzoneri Paddy Harmon, president of the Chicago Stadium corporation, opened negotiations for Petrolle’s services to- day, hoping to match him with Tony Canzoneri in another lightweight elimination contest. Harmon wants to stage a Petrolle-Canzoneri match in the Cub baseball park next month. Two Detroit promoters, Dick Dunn of the Olympia and Lloyd Fitzsim- mons, also are angling for Petrolle's services. Both want to match the Fargo battler with Sammy Mandell in a championship match late in July. Fitzsimmons has awarded contracts for an outdoor arena seating 35,000 persons, and would stage the match there. Petrolle won last night by his ag- Gressiveness, reversing an unpopular decision Miller was awarded over hint in the same arena five weeks ago. ‘The swarthy lightweight from Fargo, N. D., forced Miller to retreat in al- most every round with the exception of the ninth. Miller made a gallant effort to turn the tide of battle in the ninth, but Petrolle came back in the tenth to win by a decisive margin. Petrolle’s major offensive was launched in the third round. He sent Miller spinning to his haunches when a right-hand shot to the chin con- nected. The Chicagoan rested on his knees until the count of nine. Miller opened the session by jabbing, in an effort to escape a knockout.

Wooledge casily defeated Sandwin, "The experts credited Petrolle with winning five rounds, with four going to Miller and one even. The Chicagoan was wobbly when he pulled himself off the resin, but Petrolle was unable to connect with a finishing punch. Miller's best round was the ninth. In this session he belted the Fargo veteran with a left and right to the that made his knees sag.

Fans Watch Blue Larkspur as 61st Event Approaches Three - Year-Old Champion of Year May Be Crowned in Belmont Tomorrow New York, Junc 7.—(?—America’s oldest turf fixture — the Belmont stakes — receives its 61st running at Belmont park tomorrow with the probability that the winner may be crowned the 1929 three - year-old champion. Whether the impending race is to be won by a horse future generations will accept as such a champion as Sit Barton, Man O'War, Grey Lag and Crusader, each in his time, is prob- ematical. The problem hinges on the showing of Blue Larkspur, E. R. Bradley's most promising three-year- old, which won a leg on the mythical championship by carrying off the honors in the ancient Withers after proving a -disappointment in the muddy Kentucky derby. Restricted to entire colts and fillies, the Belmont is to America what the derby is to England, both being run over a mile and a half course. Gross- ing close to $80,000, accoPding to the number of starters, it will pay the winner between $63,000 and $66,000 in addition to the gold plate given by Mrs. August Belmgnt. Standing head and shoulders above the field, which will probably number less thar. a dozen, are Blue Larkspur, Chestnut Oak, Jack High and Dr. Freelanc. ‘The quartette figured in the order named in the Withers mile, only the Preakness winner being out of the running in that mad dash ‘through Madison Planning | 9 to 7, yesterday as the Athletics made right to wear the mantle of their illustrious predecessors.

Fights Last Night ; BESTED 10 SECONDS INPREVIOUS EVENTS Quartet From Two Texas Schools, Michigan and Ohio State Clocked in :09.5 332 ATHLETES TO COMPETE Stanford Enters Three Men for Record Trials Rather Than Title Hopes Chicago, June 7.—(47)—The battle of the century will be fought at Stagg field tomorrow, not with fists but with feet—the flying feet of the century's best—Bracey, Tolan, Simpson, Leland, and the rest. There were other important en- gagements on the 14-event card of the National Collegiate A. A. meet which began today, particularly the pole vault, the shot put, the 220 yard dash; but the century, the 100 yards of stamina and speed over the cinders, promised to be the big 10 seconds of the meet. Finals Come Tomorrow The final of the century, as well as of all events, will be decided tomor- row. Trial heats today, however, car- ried the promise of being run in as fast time as ever has been made by man. Fourteen entrics in this dash have been timed under 10 seconds. Bracey of Rice institute, Tolan, the Michigan negro star, Simpson of Ohio State and Leland of Texas Christian have traveled the distance in :09.5, which is as fast as it ever had been run, so far as accepted records reveal. Among the 79 universities and col- leges represented by the 332 athletes, the University of Illinois was a ser- j ious challenger for team honors be- cause of its balance rather than on account of any preponderance of in- dividual stars. The universities of Washington and Southern California also were given important considera- tion. Another far western school, Stanford. had three men entered, striving for individual honors rather than team victory. Also Good In the 220-yard dash Bracey, Tolan, and Simpson have all traveled the route in less than 21 seconds. The field, in addition to these men, is fast enough to inspire record smash- ing. One record that looked safe was Dehart Hubbard's 25 feet 107s inches broad jump. Hill of Southern Cali- fornia is the only entry who has done better than 25 feet, and he by just the fraction of an inch.

KANSAS CITY’S TASK TOUGHER AS KELLY’S MEN GRAB OPENER = Blues Now Are Three Full Game Behind Pace-Setting Minneapolis Club ST. PAUL WINS SHUTOUT Indianapolis Blanks Toledo, While Louisville Outslugs Senators for Win By WILLIAM A. WEEKS | (Associated Press Sports Writer) Chicago, June 7.—(#)—Kansas City’s task of overtaking Minneapolis in the American association pennant race to- day was one game larger. In the opening game of their series at Kansas City yesterday the Millers gained the jump with a 6 to 4 vic- tory. The defeat left the Blues three full games behind first place. Benton and Rhem were hit as hard as War- mouth, Fette and ,Nelson, but the Millers concentrated their attack on Warmouth in the first three innings, scoring all their runs. St. Paul held its ground in the race by taking a pitching battle between =| Snyder Has Hard Time at Houston) Polli and Charley Robertson from Milwaukee 1 to 0. Polli held the Brewers to five hits, While Robertson held the Saints to six safeties until the ninth. A double by Anderson, fol- lowed by a sacrifice. and an infield out, furnished material for the only run of the game. The setback was Milwaukee's sixth in succession. Ken Penner pitched Indianapolis to a shutout victory over Toledo, stop- ping the Hens with four scattered singles. His mates located Hugh Mc- Quillan for 11 safeties and a 3 to 0 margin. Not a Toledo player reached second base during the contest, which became the Indians’ third straight in the series, Louisville outslugged Columbus in the big hitting contest of the day, winning by 9 to 6.
