SURPRISE IS WHITING
FOR BILLY PETROLLE
By EDWARD J. NEIL
ORANGEBURG, N. Y„ May 25.
(/P)—There's surprise waiting for
ragged Billy Petrole in Madison
Square Garden Wednesday night
and the clouting Fargo Express
might Just as well know it.
He'll hardly recognize Jimmy Mc-
Larnin when the Vancouver blaster
lifts his fir Is as the first bell calls
him cut to avenge the worst defeat
he ever suffered. They met for
the first time last November, when
McLornin was headed for the wel-
terweight throne and Billy was just
another old lightweight, trying to
come back. McLarnin took an
amazing beating.
Jimmy took it standing lip, like
n fighting man. and the final gong
found him still on his feet, battered
and bleeding, thoroughly whipped,
his right hand fractured, but still
smiling. While the right hand
mended and old "Pop" Foster, his
manager, dickered for a return bout,
Jimmy pendered the reasons for
that licking.
"I tried to lean back and pulli
away from Petrolle's long left
hooks," he explained. "But instead1
of getting away from his punches!
I backed into them. He hit me so*
hard on the chin in the third
round I had no idea what was go-
ing on for the next three. My right
(hum broke in the second round
I was all at sea.
"I have changed my style entirely.
I'm going into him this time in-
stead oi pulling away. I'm going
to force the fight. This time he'll
take the licking."
PAMPA flOUKIERS FHIL
Pampa bowlers failed to place in
the Amarlllo Invitation bowling
tournament Sunday. The Schnei-
der hotel team took a fourth place
in the five man event. .Amarlllo
teams took (he first two places with
Bcrger winning third honors.
Two man teams and singles also
ranked outride the monye. due
largely to the heat according to the
players who rolled far below normal.

.FORT WORTH, May 25. (AV- j
The Texas League pennant race is.
no Thursday bnrgain counter scram-1
ble—it will be here for several
months yet, so why the rush? Such
Is the slogan and system Manager
Art Phelan Is employing this season
to keep his Fort Worth Cats parad-
ing the Texas league flag march.
The waiting game at the plate is
proving a successful one for the
Cats who are topping the league
marathon.
Although the Cats have received
some near major league hurling
front their big starting four—Hap
Coilard, Dick MeCabe, Leon Chag-1
lion, and Dick Whltworth', Phelan's j
system of ordering Fort Worth bat- j
ters to shoulder arms and wait out
opposing pitchers has proven ef-
fective.
So far, pitchers who have oppos-
ed the Cats have been forced to I
work almost two ball games in the I
matter of throwing. Phelan claims |
many victories through the waiting \
game. Although they were rained
out Tuesday and Thursday last |
week, the Cats secured 29 walks, i
This Is a fair average of what the j
league pace setters get each week j
in the matter of free transportation
to first base.
Phelan has made his boys realize
the longer they can make opposing
pitchers work the weaker they get.
and the weaker they get the easier
to hit—which so far has proved a
fine tonic for Fort Worth's pennant
ambition.
Phelan also has his ideas about
the hit and run play used by most
clubs today. He does not use it—
thinkis it is one of the worst plays
in baseball, ancl is proving that a
club can pal with first place with-
out the hit and run signal, and with
only three regulars hitting .300 or
better.
Some fine pitching from McCabe,
Coilard, Whltworth, and Chagnon
with Terry coming through In th"
relief role—Fowler's unexpected ex-
cellant work at third base—have
been major tactors in the Cats suc-
cess this season, but the game of
waiting at the plate—making pitch-
ers really pitch seems to be the key-
note of Phelan's success. Some-
times this system does not show in
the box score summary in total
walks Issued to Fort Worth, but it
is sale to guess that whoever pitch-
ed the game got himself into any
number of three-two holes. And
while Fort Worth batters are up
there waiting out opposing pitchers,
the Cats' hurler is getting a longer
rest between innings which doesn't
make the veterans like MeCabe and
Whltworth the least bit Irritable,
PHILLIPS CREW 7 TO B
The Magnolia Mags had a tough
time defeating the Phillips "00"
boys on Magnolia diamond Sunday
afternoon 7 to 6. The boys from
the south field rallied in the lucky
seventh but. fell one run short of
tying the score. Pitchers on both
nines were ineffective behind un-
steady support.
Phillips lost the game In the
sixth inning when they allowed the
lirst three men up to score on what
should have been easy outs. Romine
and Stewart committed errors and
a fly ball went loose.
Simmons started on the mound
for the Mags but was relieved in
the sixth by Burke who weathered
three shaky innings. Stewart start-
ed for the "(>'<>" aggregation but gave
way to Rained in the fifth after his
support hud temporarily cracked.
Thome and Bo/,email were the
heavy hitters for the Mags getting
two apiece. Mitchell and Jaeobe
scored two runs each for the Mags.
Kytle hit safely twice for Phillips
to be the only member to get more
than one sal'.' blow. Manager Kirk-
patrick contributed two runs, and
ui0 hit.

Kirkland Murder
Trial Nears Close
VALPARAISO, Ind., May 25. i/P>
—The state moved swiftly today,
toward the close of its murder case
against Virgil Kirkland for the j
death cf 13-year oici Arlene Draves!
at a party in Gary last November.!
Two attorneys on each side had I
(nded their closing arguments when
court, adjourned for the dav, butij
the prosecution had used hardlfl
more than two hours of its alloted
iix and expects to need cniy one
more to finish its case tomorrow.
Added expedition was lent by at-1
torneys for the defense who argued
for three and one half hours today,
leaving only Attorney Ronald Old-
ham to conclude their side of the j
trial tomorrow.
Kirkland, the 20-year old Gary!
youth, alternately leaned forward
and relaxed as the battle of words
went on.
BEAUMONT SHUTS
OUT GALVESTON
GALVESTON. May 25. i/iv-The
Buccaneers continued their pursuit
of a record today being blanked hy
Luke Hamlin of Beaumont, 2-0.
Thirty five innings have now elaps-
ed since Galveston' has scored a
run and the Buffs have registered
only one tally in the last 50 stan-
zas.

three scattered hits. Art Reinhart
pitched crafty baseball but the Ex-
porters bunched four singles to score
two runs in the fifth.

Some of these Pampa men haters
are liable to lose their heart Thurs-
day when the well known Mexican
light heavyweight wrestler, Francis-
co Aguayo comes to town to meet
Sailor Otis Clingman at the New
Majestic. Aguayo is from Chihua-
hua, Mexico, and has won every
wrestling title m Mexico from the
lightweight to the light heavy-
weight, which he now holds.
Clingman went fishing Sunday
and last night started one of the
most intensive training periods of
his career. He knows he will be up
against one of the greatest in the
game and he wants to win badly.
He saw the Mexican nearly win the
world's championship from Hugh
Nichols in Albuquerque two weeks
ago.
Aguayo started wrestling when a
mere boy and has been at the game
ever since. He won the lightweight
championship of Mexico when in his
I early twenties and as he added
j weight he added wrestling crowns
! until he holds the light heavyweight
! championship.
I The Pampa sailor says Thursday
! night's battle w'ill be his last in the
j light heavy class. He says he is
I going to train down to the niiddle-
I weight class limit and get ready for
' a crack at the championship belt.
I He claims Kallio will be ready for
| battle by the time he has last
I weight and that he is going to chase
i the champ all over the country for
a chance at his belt.
Tommy Thomas of LeFors and
Red Michaels of Pampa will get
their big chance in the semi-final
battle. They are scheduled to go
one fall, or 30 minute time limit.
■ The two old rivals have been want-
' ing a chance to go the limit, and
they will get it Thursday night.
The opening battle has not been
I arranged.

Thus race horse, Twenty Grand,
was named for the dam's side of the
family—Bonus and All Gold. The
big bay colt can run all day faster
than any other three-year-old in
America, if you care to have thy
opinion of chunky little Charles
ICurtslnger, the Louisville boy who
rode Mrs, Payne Whitney's ace to
victory in the Kentucky derby.
"I don't think there's a horse that
can beat Twenty Grand at upwards
of a mile," said Charley, after he
had recovered from his incoherence
of the hour or two immediately fol-
lowing the derby. "The colt is a lit-
tle hard to get going, but travels like
an express train, once he is in real
motion.
"Twenty Grand's nervous and high
strung at times, but not hard to
handle. I used my whip only twice.

Denipsey, former heavyweight cham-
pion admitted today he contemplat-
ed going to Los Angeles within the
next few days but "only on busi-
ness" and not to confer with hit
wife regarding a possible settlement
of their marital difficulties.
"Nothing to it ut all," Dempsev
said in answer to a report lie woul I
attempt to effect ft .reconciliation
with Estelle Taylor. "1 came here
to get a divorce, but I'm in iu>
hurry about it. When I feel the
time has arrived for me to tile suit
I'll dc so."
Reports that Denipsey was still
"very much in love" with his actress
wife persisted, however, and specu-
lation continued as to whether lie
really Intends filing suit He be-
came eligible under Nevada lmv tc

derby you must remember that I
took the horse out and around the
field over on the back-stretch, also
that I was positively last going
around the first turn, in spite of
everything I could do.
"But It was all over as soon as
Twenty Grand felt like running.
What a horse."
Turfmen are apt to be a trifle en-
thusiastic after any great perform-
ance. but there is a widespread con-
viction among the eastern crowd
that this Twenty Grand; is the fast-
est hoss since the renowned Man-o'-
War, although so far the Greentree
colt, has not been as consistent as
Gallant Fox.
SANDE LONESOME
Speaking of the Fox. we caught a
gleam of lonesomeness in the eyes
of Eai'le Sande the day of the derby.
Earle wns sitting in the sun on the
roof of the grandstand at Churchill
Downs, waiting, for ills turn to
broadcast, where the year lie lore he
had been up on the winner of the
big race.
"I'd sure like to have been out
there on that track ugain," Earle
admitted, "but It's getting increas-
ingly tough for me to keep any-
where near riding weight. I've been
• iek this spring and my weight Is up
to 130. It's plain torture to keep to
a lockey's size. It always was tough
for me in that respect. Every* time I
ate anything substantial I didn't en-
iuv il because I knew I'd have to
run the extra pounds off. I starved
half the time when I was riding reg-
ularly."
I'OX DIDN'T CARE
"It's a lunny thing about horses,"
Sande went on. "Take the Fox. He
almost went to sleep at the post In
the derby last year. Didn't seem in-
terested. KepL leaning up against
the sides of tjie starting gate and
I was afraid he would lie down.
"The" Fox never seemed to care
much whether he was first, last or
In the middle. I hud to shake him
up to get him going. Just the oppo-
site of Man o' War. I rode the big
red Just once, when I was a kid In
1018. He was never satisfied until
out in front,
"Zev was a bully and sometimes
hard lo handle. The easiest and
probably the smartest horse I ever
lode whs Osmond. Almost seemed to
sense what It was all about and do
Ihc right thing without urging. I
rode him in the derby in 1920 and
finished second to Pony Mo Alee on
Whiskery."
