THE BISMARCK TRIB Billy Petrolle Plans to FARGO EXPRESS HA GOD STEAM SUPPLY IN HIS BOLERS YET Thinks Betting Fraternity Has Made Error in Making Him 7-5 Short-Ender TO FIGHT AT BEST WEIGHT Punching Is Just as Good as in Days When He Bowled Them Over Methodically ‘New York, Jan. 23.—()\—Worried no longer by the problems of weight- making, grim-visaged Billy Petrolle thinks he has another headache in store for the betting fraternity. ‘They've made him a short-ender at 7 to 5 for his 10-round non-title bout with Barney Ross, lightweight cham- pion, at the Coliseum Wednesday night and Billy thinks that’s a grave error. ‘The Fargo, N. D., veteran, one of the greatest crowd-pleasers in the game as he is one of the heaviest of its slug- gers, has dropped all thoughts of win- ning the lightweight title since he ab- sorbed successive defeats by Tony Can- zoneri and Ross in November, 1932, ‘and March, 1933. ‘These reverses, he is convinced, were due principally to the fact that he had badly weakened himself by his efforts to pare down to the lightweight limit. Competent critics agree with him. Now he is fighting strictly at his best weight, 140 to 142 pounds, a poundage at which Billy has been un- ‘beaten, except by Jimmy McLarnin. present welterweight champion, for three years. He has shown surprising speed in his workouts here and his punching has been as deadly as in those days a couple of years back when he was bowling over lightweights and welter- weights indiscriminately. He once entered the ring a 10-1 shot against McLarnin and handed Jimmy the ‘worst beating of his life. Justo Suarez, Billy Townsend, Eddie Ran, Chris- topher (Bat) Battalino, Bep Van Klaveren and Stanislaus Loayza have been numbered among his knockout or technical knockout victims in the Jast two and one-half years. Ross, on the other hand, {s hoping to defeat his victory over Petrolle to serve as the opening wedge in a pos- sible drive for a welterweight cham- pionship match with McLarnin. The Chicago youngster, who relieved Can- goneri of his lightweight crown last year and then beat the New Yorker again in defense of it, is finding trouble making the class limit and may be forced to look for heavier | | i e. If Barney can beat Petrolle, his Managers may challenge McLarnin at once though Jimmy has shown no par- ticular interest in suggestions that he efend the title he won from Young Corbett III last May. Detroit Develops as Wrestling City i Jack Sharkey of New York Will Meet Bull Komar of Chi- cago Tonight Detroit, Jan. 23—()—Jack Shar- ‘key, New York heavyweight wrestler meets Bull Komar of Chicago Tuesday night in the Detroit Light Guard Armory—and thereby hangs a tale, for the bout is the first of a series marking the entrance a third major promoter into the current wrestling Ficture here. All winter Detroit has rained a Snower of gold about the ears of its two veteran wrestling promoters such as none here ever dreamed of before. The clatter of the turnstiles began with the first snowfall, and grew steadily to a crescendo when last week elim Londos, world’s heavyweight title claimant, attracted a crowd officially estimated at over 16,000 while hun- dreds more milled about outside the doors. And now a third promoter enters to get a share of gold. Dunn Center Ramblers BeatElbowoodsIndians (Tribune Special Service) Dunn Center, N.

While antics on the boards were confined to athletes of the At- Jantic coast until 1932, in the last few years invasions from other sections have been under way. Tittle Emmett Toppino, Loyola sprint flash from New Orleans, started the ball rolling in 1932, when he journeyed north and won a series of brilliant dashes in winter meets, He repeated last year with victories over Frank Wykoff, Pacific coast sensa- tion, While Wykoff’s fate in the east was unfortunate, it in no way deterred the ambition of other boys from the west. They're planning an assault on the eastern forces starting with the 27th running of the Millrose meet here, Feb. 3. eee Leading the western contingent will be two world record holders—Walter Merty, Fresno State high jumper, and Bil! Graber, Southern California pole vaulter. Marty will arrive here in time to contest vith George Spitz, New York University’s holder of the indoor high jump record, in the Millrose games, but Graber’s impending duel with Xeith Brown, Yale vaulter, will come iater in the season. Marty’s high jump record, made outdoors, is 6 feet 8% inches. His indoor performances have been few and he may be at a disadvantage meeting Spitz, indoor record holder at 6 feet 8% inches. ‘The two met during the National A. A. U. meet at Chicago last year. ‘This meet, held outdoors, didn’t see the two at their best because of un- atisfactory night lighting. They cleared 6 feet 6 inches, but both are capable of better. Jumping on a board is more has- ardous than outdoors, and less likely to create new records. Rubber-soled shoes are worn on indoor tracks which give Ea eeeeer footing than spikes Regardless of that, the keen com- Petition between the two premier Jumpers of the country may result in pac Tecord—at least a new indoor nee Another invader from the south— Emmett Toppino will be back—is Glenn Hardin, brilliant hurdler and 440-yard runner of Louisiana State. Glenn was undefeated in the 440 run and the 200-yard and 400-meter hurdles during 1933. Hardin's coming tilts with Ivan Fuqua, Indiana University’s A. A. U. 400-meter champion may see the 600- yard mark, the nearest indoor equiv- alent to the 440 and 400, go crashing after remaining untouched since 1925. Allan Helffrich, Penn State runner, set the record that year when he Paced off the distance at 1:11 3/5, V-Ball Schedules High School Athletic Director Now in Charge of Gym- nasium Classes Matches scheduled in the Bismarck volleyball league through Feb. 1 were BAD!

LEWIS THROWS MGILL Hal Roach, Film Producer, and Dr. Charles Strub, Are Builders By ERSKINE JOHNSON Los Angeles, Jan. 23—Soon thor- oughbreds will be kicking up the dust of a million-dollar track on the Rancho Santa Anita here, close by the his- toric track run years ago by Califor- nia’s famous “Lucky” Baldwin. Head- ed by Hal Roach, film producer, and Dr. Charles Strub, part owner of the San Francisco baseball club, the Los Angeles Turf club has been granted @ permit to operate a track on the picturesque rancho site. Previously, Joseph Smoot, former Florida track operator, had spent $20,000 on a proposed million-dollar track near the same site, but failed to obtain a state permit when his stock promoting plans fell through. Smoot spent even more in successfully campaigning for legalized in California, and then was left holding the bag and aa pens Pocketbook, ‘The permit granted the Los Angeles Turf club was the first issued in Southern California since voters legal- ized racing last June. San Fran- scisco's Tanforan and a new plant to be built in the same vicinity by Wil- liam D. Kyne, wealthy California sportsman, have received the official okay in the northern part of the state. The state racing board has stubborn- ly refused to grant permits until as- sured the promoters had funds to go ahead. Actual construction of the South- ern California track will start Feb. 15, and is expected to be completed by Dec. 15 with the first meeting slated for early in 1935. Two hundred thous- and dollars was tossed into the lap of Anita Baldwin, daughter of the pioneer “Lucky,” for the 215-acre site, and Roach and Dr. Strub plan to spend $800,000 or more to complete the plant, which, it is expected, will compare with the finest race tracks in the world. In granting the Turf club a permit for 50 days of racing each year, the state racing commission, in line with its careful attitude, laid down a bar- rage of reservations which will force the organization to live up to every statement made in its formal appli- cation for @ permit. The club must “wil and a totalizator must be installed and in working order not later than Dee. 15. * *k In speaking of the Turf club, Dr. Strub says: “Our buildings will be. early California and will be beauti- ful.
