By the Associated Press. OS ANGELES, May 20.—A pos- sible match with Max Schmel- ing was the talk in the air today after New York's Bob Pastor whipped Bob Nestell of Los Angeles last night in a heavyweight fight which had nearly 30,000 scream- ing fight fans, including film celeb- rities, on the edge of the seats for 10 rounds. James J. Johnston, sr., matchmaker of Madison Square Garden, whose son, James J., jr, manages Pastor, declared the ex-New York University athlete was in line for a top match, | possibly with the German. Nearly Scores Knockout. ASTOR, headliner of a show at ‘Wrigley Field nearly knocked out Nestell but another Gothamite, Izzy Jannazzo, 149';, lost to plodding Glen Lee, 150, Nebraska, by a wide margin in a second 10-rounder on the card. In the third feature, Henry Arm- strong, 13115, prize package of Binger Al Jolson and Eddie Mead, added Wally Hally, 135!2 of Los Angeles to his victim list with & technical knockout in the fourth round. The Pastor-Nestell go started out like & cyclone and ended nearly as fast. In the first round Pastor scored 8 knockdown for an 8-count. Nestell got up, swung to Pastor’s jaw and the New Yorker hit the deck, sitting down. Nestell Down Again. ASTOR came up without taking & count, and again in the third sank Nestell for 8. From then on it was Pastor’s fight, with the California Bob continually threatening, but sel- dom exploding, his terrific right punch. Pastor weigher 1831;, Nestell 191. The biggest fight crowd in years saw the card, with virtually every name in Hollywood's movie register checked in at ringside seats. GOLF ACE TOTAL LOSS CHATTANOOGA, Tenn—Laurence N.

OU AMBERS, who doubtless is the artists’ conception of & typical pug, but who happens to hold the world lightweight boxing championship despite, or maybe because of, his unshapely fea- tures, is expected to sign articles next week for a non-title 10-round bout here late in July. The acutely caulifiowered 135- pound champion, whose head re- sembles an inverted triangle, will accompany Joey Archibald, bantam- weight stablemate, here Monday and will second Joey in his 10-round argu- ment with Ray Ingram on the police benefit card Wednesday night at Griffith Stadium. The main purpose of Ambers’ vicit, however, will be to witness the Nore ment Quarles-Cowboy Howard woiut bout on the same show and size up the general set-up here before agree- ing to meet the winner of that scrap. Lou May Sign Thursday. MBERS already has received a contract from Matchmaker Goldie Ahearn and, providing terms are sat- isfactory, is expected to sign for the bout Thursday. He and Manager Al Welll will discuss the matter of money with Ahearn upon their arrival here Monday afternoon. The courageous little Herkimer Hurricane, whose real name is Luigl D'Ambrosio, has experienced only mediocre success since knocking the crown from the slick head of Tony Canzoneri on September 4, 1936. He has been defeated in non-title bouts by Pedro Montanez, Eddie Cool and Jimmy McLarnin, while Enrico Ven- turi held him to a draw. Sandwiched between those fights are victories over Stumpy Jacobs, Davey Day, Al Roth, Roger Bernard and Canzoneri again on May 7, the last of which was his only title de- fense. Ironically, Lou gained perhaps his greatest prestige in his losing battle with the flashy Montanez in April. For the first time since he won the crown he was acclaimed wildly in the drama-drenched Madison Square Garden as he crawled from the can- vas in the first round and rallled to lose only by the slightest of margins. Comeback Nets Title. TKE 23-year-old TItalian-American temporarily abandoned ring war- fare following one of fistlana's trage- dies in which Lou authored a blow which caused the head of Tony Scar- pati to strike the floor with such force | that Tony died. He later fought a months later won the world title. Quarles, a product of North Caro- lina University, twice has defeated Freddy Miller, former world feather- weight champion, but also has been victimized by Scott twice. While admittedly having slipped recently, Scott's record last year shows wins over Eddie Cool, Lew Massey, Bat Battalino, Stumpy Jacobs and Frankie Klick and the Cowboy hopes to recover his dwindling prestige against Quarles. Ambers long has been sought by Ahearn on a card here and as a re- | sult the rotund matchmaker has fa- vored Manager Weill by using many of his fighters here. The return favor, in the form of a signed contract, is expected within the week. TITLE BOUT SALE FAST CHICAGO, May 29 (&)—Heavy- weight Champion Jim Braddock and Challenger Joe Louis donned the | gloves at their respective camps today as the sale of tickets for their bout June 22 at Comiskey Park clicked merrily along. Rivington M. Bisland, in charge of the sale, said he expected it would total $500,000 by June 5. Braddock was scheduled to work four rounds today at his Grand Beach, Mich., camp, with Louis expected to g0 six rounds at Kenosha, Wis. Both will box Sunday and Monday. Minor Leagues INTERNATIONAL.

ITTSBURGH, May 29.—Golf's greatest -“natural” in years brightened the professionals’ championship today. Tony Manero, the national open title holder, bumped into Denny Shute, defending his professionals’ associa- tion crown, It could be billed as an unofficial battle for American supremacy, bring- ing together the last winners of the country’s two major tournaments open to professional experts. Harold (Jug) McSpaden, Win- chester, Mass., faced Ky Laffoon, Chi- ©ago, in the other 36-hole semi-final P. G. A. contest but it couldn't com- pare in popular interest with the duel between champions. Tony yesterday came from behind Wwith a rush to overhaul Harry Cooper, just as he did in winning the open last Summer at Baltusrol. A victory over Shute and triumph in the finals tomorrow would make him the first man in 15 years to hold both titles. Sarazen Turned Trick. h{AN!:RO‘S tenure as a double win- ner might be as brief as a fort- night, however, for he's no better than & 30-to-1 shot to win 1937's open starting June 10. Back in 1922 Gene Sarazen won both titles the same year. ‘Tony is more surprised than any one to find himself almost knocking at the championship door. His wife has been seriously i1l for several weeks and Tony has had to carry the strain of that worry through his matches here. He had no time for practice and came to the tournament “cold” but he | warmed up in a hurry and definitely is on his best game now. There's quite a contrast between the pair. Denny is tall and slender, quiet and nerveless. Tony is shorter, heavier and nervous as a kitten. But where | he's more emotional than Shute, the swarthy Italian is as game as they | come. Pays Tribute to Foe. o NY won't quit. You can't wear him down with pars and birdies.” Shute explained. “I'm in for a tough match.” A triumph today and the champion- ship tomorrow means a lot to Denny, too, for he would become the first champion to repeat since Leo Diegel turned the trick in 1928-29. They met only once before, and Tony won. That was in Denny's first P. G. A. competition in 1929, and he was beaten, 6 and 5. While attention centered on their | engagement, the best scorers in the benefit for Scarpati’s family and six | tournament played the other match. McSpaden is one over par for the 145 holes he has played. Laffoon is six over for 136 holes, Manerio 13 over for 139 holes and Shute 10 over for 136 holes. In the professional tour- nament game for only a few years, this is the first time either Jug or Ky have reached the semi-finals, KENWOOD SELECTS SKEET COMMITTEE Harden, Evans, Wilkinson, Ellis to Lay Out Big Program for Next Season. SUCCESSFUL year behind it, the Kenwood Skeet Club is planning even bigger things for next season. It has named Tom Harden, Merlin Evans, R. D. Wilkinson and W. Roger | Ellis to lay out a program. Addison Bowie, PFrank Vermillion, Hunter Oochrane and Arma Rush did the chores during the campaign now ap- proeching a close. Three big shoots, featured by competition for the Wifty Cox Cup and Kenwood Plaque, were staged. The Kenwood shooters are sharpen- ing their eyes for the North-South meet to be held by the National Capi- tal Skeet Club June 5 and 6. This event climaxes the Washington sea- son. BY PAUL J. MILLER, JR. HESE lads at Central High are good. Yes, sir, much better than the average school young- ster who dallies with the “game of kings.” The other night I was a peepin’ Tom and curiously watched a game between Willlam Rey- nolds of Central and Simon Naidel, one of the leading chess students and players in the District. At first the veteran seemed to be besting the Central captain, but the shrewd lad parried the cagy forays of his canny opponent and turned the tables—turned the game from the stage of utter rout into a draw. It was s fine example of middle-game and end-game strategy well played. Naidel reached across the chessboard and squeesed the hand of the junior star and said, “A splendid game. It was a real pleasure.” Six high school clubs in the District and five of them have developed live organizations. From the clube will come some of the future masters and today the clubs are capable of holding their own against more experienced units. Recently when three Central play- ers scored two wins on each table from three Procurement Chess Club players, it was noted that the lads had the good habit of recording every move played. In leisure moments the games may be replayed and subjected to careful analysis for improvement in style and tactics. Central High vs. Precurement Chess Club.

That may be & year or two in the future, but meanwhile the lanky Texas gal with the sock of a mule from the tee and more socking power with the irons than most male pros can boast, is sat- isfled to go along improving her short game. She isn’t “going to stick her neck out” until she’s satisfied she can hold her own in the best male com- pany. She can do that now over a round or two of golf but she isn't satisfied as to her consistency. Satisfied With Long Game. 'HE Babe, who is in Washington visiting Helen Dettweiler, pulled 2 7 iron out of her bag on the tenth hole at Chevy Chase. “Can T get there with this?” she asked Roland MacKenzie.

It seems fantastic that a girl can hit with the big male hit; ters of a golf ball but it's the truth, Didrikson can, but feminine stand- ards in athletics weren't made for the Babe. She showed they weren't in the 1932 Olympics, and she's carry- ing the same thing into golf. It's one of the unusual things of golf, too, how the folks turn out to see the Babe smack 'em. Wherever she goes, for a practice round or an exhibition match they turn out to see her sock 'em and rock 'em. And how she loves to hit those tee shots.
