Basketball Scores Jew- Ray Schwartz, campaigning for a crack at -the Mid-West heavyweight championship, has reached his goal and the Brooklyn Kid will meet Defending Champion Orville Brown for the title Wednesday night, on the SelJnger Centre mat. Brown agreed two weeks ago that he would, meet the winner of the Schwartz-Killer Davis match at Jefferson City. Davis won the match, but his third and decisive fall was disputed and Schwartz demanded a rematch after the fans stormed the ringside in protest of the Killer's victory. The re-match was staged last Wednesday night, with Schwartz emerging the victor after taking a terrific body beating from Davis in the early minutes of the contest. Schwartz, who has become the No.

1 favorite of local fans through his good sportsmanship, was forced to use unorthodox methods in retaliation to Davis roudy tactics. He proved that he can take it and dish it right jack. i Brown Full of Tricks Against Brown, the Brooklyn ad will face a slight weight disadvantage and a clever artist. Brown is "ring-wise" and he will employ every trick he mows to successfully defend his crown. Schwartz has met Brown in area once before and held Orville to a 90-minute draw.

He gained valuable knowledge of Brown's offensive methods and should be able to meet the champion on even terms. Schwartz is in the pink of condition, the best of his career, after serving three' years with the U. S. army engineers during the war. He is younger than the champion and Ray hopes to be able to outlast Brown, snaring a quick first fall, then go on the defensive to run out the clock.

The title match is slated tor the best two out of three falls with a one hour and a half time limit. Promoter, Jim Chemi has signed up another new arrival in the Mid-West area--Irish Jack Kennedy, who Is a feature performer hailing from, the Lone Star State. Irish Jack will meet the roudy Chicagoan, Bill Bartush, in the semi-final event, slated for two out of three falls. Used Rabbit Punch Bartush made his Jefferson City debut last week against Ivan Kamaroff, St. Paul, and defeated the Russian in a rough and tumble fracas.

His victory proved unpopular for he employed rabbit punches and forearms to soften the popular Russian, then Clamped on the dreaded abdominal stretch hold, first introduced here by Missouri's own Marshall Estepp. Both Kennedy and Bartush are. exponents of the notorious Texas rules and their meeting should provide the most avid fans with plenty of action. Kennedy tips the scales at 230 and is a resident of Dallas, Texas, where he completed a successful campaign. Roberto Pico will return to fhis city to pair off against Gene Bowman, Des Moines heavyweight, in the special event: Pico, a full-blooded Mexican from Eunice, N.

made his debut here against Kamaroff iwo weeks ago and staged one of the fastest matches on record at Selinger Centre. Pico is a light-heavyweight. Bowman gained in popularity here by battling Estepp to a 45- minute draw in an excellent scientific match last Wednesday.

Biggest opening day crowds since 1942 are expected to raise the -curtain on the 1947 angling season, next Saturday, March 1, at three-Missouri state parks famous for trout fishing--Bennett Spring near Lebanon, Roaring River near Cassville and Montauk park near Park officials reported accomo- dations at the pai'ks booked to capacity, although rooms may still be available at the neighboring towns. The Conservation Commission said fisheries, stations were preparing for least two thousand anglers. The 1942 total was 1,957. Last year, with opening day falling on Friday and the crowds spread out over the week-end, about 1,250 fishermen registered on March 1. Unless heavy rains occur in the meantine, the Commission predicted tlie trout streams be clear and in good fishing condition.

Montauk patrons who have been worrying about the results of the flash flood which destroyed hatchery facilities and swept away most of the trout crop at that park last August will find repair work practically completed and fishing as usual, according to G. B. Herndpn, chief of the Commission's, fisheries section. Herndon said 25,000 surplus trout had been transferred from other hatcheries to replenish the Montauk rearing pools. Size Limits Removed Certain stream improvements designed to make better fishing have been completed at both Montauk and Roaring River, the fisheries chief reported.

Since last year the daily creel limit- has been cut from eight fish to- six, but trout anglers 'need no longer worry about size limits. The Conservation Commission releases no fish, less than eight inches long--most oJ them- are over ten inches--aiic if an angler catches a smaller one, he is welcome to keep it Herndon said fishermen may be bothered with small fish at Montauk as thousands of fingerlings escaped in the flood last August. Possession limit after opening day is 10 trout. A daily fishing fee of 50 cents will be charged, in the trout narks-, the same as last year The daily fishing tag must held in addition to a regular fishing iermit. waters, where use of bait is prohibited, have been extended tip's year at both Montauk -and Bennett Spring.

The new fly on the Montauk spring branch extends from the dam downstream to the mouth of the tailrace. Extended at Bennet Springs The new restricted area at Bennett Spring extends from the spring itself'to a point approximately 600 feet aboVe the dam. The 600-foot stretch of water above the dam will be open to bait fishing with wading prohibited, as in the past. Five i a management areas in the Ozarks also will be ofcen to trout fishing March 1 under the same regulations that apply in the parks except that no daily fishing fee is required. The special areas are described by the Conservation Commission as follows: Ten miles of Current River from Mpntauk park southward to cedar Grove crossing in Dent County.

Greer Springs branch, and its confluence with Eleven Point River to Turner's Mill in Oregon County. Niangua River from the mouth of Bennett Spring branch downstream to Keith-Burns ford in Dallas and Laclede counties. Meramec Spring branch in Phelps county.
