CYO. Brooklyn; Ci the Bronx, starting time lor all three shows is 8 P. M. The 126-pound swat artists sample their first taste of leather in, the Bronx ring and from all indications, they'll more than equal the furious fistic pace set by the lightweights and welterweights who started in action last week. THE SUNNYSIDE GARDEN card, will feature 147-pound competition between title seekers from Queens and Brooklyn, while at St.

Anthony of Padua the program will be shared by 135 and 147-poundent drawn entirely from Brooklyn. The night's action will complete first round competition in the 135-pound division with all winners and those drawing byes qualifying for the second round. The Friday night and Saturday afternoon bouts unveiled a rugged crew of dynamiting title seekers as 35 of the 69 bouts ended in knockouts. There were standout performances in all rings with observers generally agreeing that it is the best bub-Novice crop to compete in recent years. AMONG THE LIGHTWEIGHT standouts were Pat Flood, Karl Kenneth, Johnny Young and Aubrey Pickering.

S. Coast Guard; John Busso, Empire SC, and Lee Johnson, Ronald Jardine and Nathaniel Watkins, all unattached.

Dr. Fette was at the hos- pital waiting for Campanella yes-; terday, and a Dodger car was at Roy's liquor store to pick him up, when the patient suddenly changed nis mind. 1 he llodger Iront of iice had no forewarning. -SURE, I'VE CHANGED my mind," Roy said later. "After all, it's my elbow, so I think the final decision ought to be up to me.

There's no sense in going in there and cutting me up and maybe causing all sorts of complications. The elbow doesn't hurt me at all and I know it won't affect my batting. "If it was my throwing elbow, that would be different," tie added. "A lot of fellows go around playing ball with bone chips and they never bother them. I didn't lose a single inning last year because of my elbow.

And I don't expect to this next year, either." Campanella admitted he had quite a telephone exchange with Walter O'Malley, Brook president, after his refusal to undergo surgery was made known. The first to learn of it was Lee-Scott, Dodger publicity man, "who drove to Campy package store in Harlem, expecting to take the catcher to the hospital. "-MK. ALLEY DIDNT make me change my -mind," Roy said. "I've decided not to have the operation, and that's that." O'Malley was peeved, to say the least.

"I just can't understand an intelligent boy like Roy taking an attitude like that," he said. "Dr. Fette examined his elbow before and told him that the operation was important and that the chips were likely to cause him trouble if not removed. I he operation is a simple one, and with Dr. Fette per forming it, there is no danger of complications.

Although Campanula's elbow doesn't hurt him now, O'Malley was concerned about what would happen when the catcher everted pressure on it next season. here would we be if he had to have an operation then, and be away from the' club for a couple of weeks or more Malley asked. "I THINK ROY will wind up having the operation," the Brook boss prophesied. I never liked to go to the dentist, but eventually I went. Some fellows think of an operation like marriage they keep putting it off but finally they go through with it.

Don't get me wrong. We weren't afraid of the Giants. We just worried too much about how long their winning streak could continue. 'We learned a big fesson, and it won't happen again. We have an excellent chance of winning this next one, beeause 1 don't think the Giants will be that strong again.
