Three more chows remain, including | this week's and Frankie apparently is out to make the best of them. | Unknown to 99 per cent of the local fistic colony, Mann, in the last iwo days, perhaps demonstrated his mateh- | making ability as never before. Midget | Wolgast was scheduled to appear. The fiyweight champ agreed io headline ihis week’s show with either Lercy Dougan or Eddie Burl as an opponent.

U. marathon title in the Martak family of Baltimore ‘will be made June 17 in the second annual 26- mile race sponsored by The Star. With odds heavily against him, Clyde D. Martak, 22 years old, will defend the crown and in there hoping to win if he doesn't will be a couple of younger brothers. Neither Ellwood nor George Martak has cver accomplished anything to make him a marked competitor in the grand contest two weeks from next Saturday, but neither had Clyde distinguished him- sc1f before winning, last August, one of the toughest mara- thons ever run. 'OU have the word of Clar- ence De Mar, probably the world’s most fa- mous harrier, that The Star's first contest was an endurance lowed by Levenstein, Beckhardt, Has-| les and Schwartz. Horowitz started with three straight victories and looked like a sure winner. Fine and Simonson are new on the team this year. They are both members of the Marshall Chess Club.
