A rangy, well-built lad of about 17 summers, put on
a great showing at the Livestock arena the other night in
a torrid three-round bout with Cleburne's Joe Morse. The
young fighter hailed from Weatherford and he showed
that he knew what he, was about in the ring. Although
he outweighed Morse,* he dropped the duke, Morse is
perhaps the most improved fighter in the Cleburne stable
of amateurs, principally because he wants to fight, and
he will fight. He had his hands full with his Weatherford
opponent, whose name is Larry Hageman- Hageman, in-
cidentally, shows great promise should he choose the
fight game as a career.
We doubt, however, if Larry will follow the battles
Of the squared circle for a livelihood. Larry is the son
of Mary Martin, leading stage and screen star, and Ben
Hageman, genial Weatherford sports fan. Larry’s dad,
a very successful lawyer, appears to enjoy watching his
son perform in three-round amateur bouts. He sat at the
press table and cbached his hard-punching offspring from
time to time and Larry listened. Papa Hageman didn’t
’ seem to mind that Larry lost the fight, so long as he had
put up a good battle. And ths he did.

El Mono Runs
Fast Race to
Pay Top Odds
MIAMI, Fla., Feb. 31. (U.R—EI
Mono scored one of the biggest
upsets in turf history today when
he defeated the handicap cham-
pions. Armed and Assault and six
other horses in the 350.000 added
Widdener handicap.
Armed finished a bad fourth with
Assault still further back as El
Mono scored his second consecu-
tive stakes triumph here at Hia-
leah in track record time.
Last week he had defeated Arm-
ed in the $25,000 McLennan and
he proved today that that victory
was no fluke. Armed and Assault,
expected to match strides in the
race of the year, never were seri-
ously in the running.
The “Monkey”
El Mono, owned by Daniel La-
mont and whose name in Spanish
means “monkey” made a monkey
out of both Armed and Assault as
he ran the mile and a quarter in
2:01 flat, beating the track record
for the classic set last year by
Armed , by 3/5 of a second.
A 12 to 1 shot in the betting, El
Mono, who paid 45 to 1 last week,
brought his backers $32.40 to win,
$12.90 to place and $7.90 to show.
Another long shot, Stud Poker,
FLATS 3 TIES
Forest High school of Dallas,
Tex., was undefeated in nine foot-
ball games in 1947 but won only
four. The five other contests were
scoreless ties.
Assault, who went to the post
an even money favorite, finished
fifth. Armed went off at 8 to 5.
7 El Mono was given little consid-
eration because it was expected to
be strictly a two horse race be-'
tween Armed, Calumet Farm’s
“Golden Gelding” and the King
Ranch triple crown winner of 1946.
Neither had the best of racing
luck but in the end they had no
excuses.

51 Cage Points
WACO, Tex., Feb. 21. (Spl.—
Statistics will bear out the reason
why the Baylor Bears are at the
top of the pile in the Southwest
Conference.
In ten games Coach Bill Hender-
son’s squad has tallied 194 field
goals and 129 free throws for a
total of 517 points, or an averdge
of 51.7 points per game while their
opponents have a 42.6 average per
game.
The starting quintet for the Bears,
composed of Jackie Robinson and
Bill Johnson at guards: Don Heath-
ington, center; and Bill DeWitt and
James Owens at forwards, have
netted 455 of the 517 points made
in conference play.
Co-captain Don Heathington, who
dunked in 34 points against Teeas
and 14 against SMU in the last two
games, has jumped into the lead in
the Baylor scoring column. He has
netted 43 field goals and 34 free
throws for a total of 120 points,
which places him second in the con-
ference in scoring.
Red Owens is second for the
Bruins with 104 points and Jack
Robinson is third with 93. Johnson
and DeWitt, the remaining members
of the starting lineup have hit for
87 and 51 points respectively.
The Bears, who led the confer-
ence in free throws last year have
had less luck this season with their
terrific stretch drive to nip Stud

started out to learn to box this
year, gave a splendid account of
himself in his match with Weath-

close heed to Trainer Marvin Bry-

round of his fight in a very de-
cisive manner. His looping left
hand found its mark on Powell’s
chin many times during the bat-

A definite move to organize all
of the ardent anglers in Johnson
County will be made here Tuesday
night when an open forum meeting
of all fishermen will be held in
the WOW hall. .
Earl Fenn, local sportsman, with
the aid of several other Cleburne
anglers, has announced the meet-
ing. Several officers of the Fort
Worth Anglers Club are scheduled
to speak to the gathering, which
it is hoped will result in a perma-
nent organization of fishermen.
"There are no set plans as yet
for an organization,” Fenn pointed
out. “I have talked to a lot of fish-
ermen who voiced desires to form
some sort of angler's club. I fig-
ured the best way to do it would
be to hold an open forum meeting,
where any and all plans could be
discussed. AU anglers are urged
to attend the meeting and offer
their suggestions.’’
Other boxers were from Weather-
ford and Polytechnic, Fort Worth

ly with a right, led the fight to

other win for the Cleburne team,

Weatherford’s Bill Powell, 148. A
hard, looping left spelled victory for
Davis, who staggered his opponent

HOUSTON, Texas, Feb. 21. (u.P--
Heavy morning rains threw a mon-

try Club invitation golf tournament
today and quarter-final and semi-
final matches were postponed un-
tn tomorrow and the finals until
Monday.
Defending Champion Frank Stra-
nahan, the well-museled blond
spark plug scion from Toledo, O.,
remained a heavy favorite to re-
peat his 1947 performance, but a
newcomer to Texas amateur golf-
ing circles was expected to give
him a run for his money.
Favored to wade through to-
morrow's two rounds in the lower
half of the bracket opposite the
champion will be Dick McCreary,
the former Indiana state champion
who now lives in Houston. Mc-
Creary was the low amateur in the
medal play Texas open in which
Stranahan completed.
Stranahan meets Tyrrell Garth,
Jr., Beaumont, Texas, in tomorrow
morning’s quarter-final, while the
other match in the uper bracket
will pit Dave Mitchell, one-time
national pblic links champ from
St. Louis, against John Barnum of
Chicago.
McCreary plays Jack Spellman
of Houston in the quarterfinals and
his opponent, barring an upset,
will come from the winner of the
