The marquis helped make it a His rules called for a standup boxing match with no wrestling or hugging The marquis sustained Iiis first rabbit punch last week when Zivic, deploring the fact that he was recognized as the second dirtiest fighter of all time, used another ghost to pen a declaration that the gloved gladiator of today has to fight far outside the rules to be a winner. The coup de grace now is administered by Willie the Beard, so known because of a perpetual six shadow, nobody being able to get so unshaven by five. Willie supports contention in a letter of advice to Vince Martinez, who engages Virgil Akins at St. Louis next week for the vacant welterweight championship. Zivic said is absolutely the the Beard alleges in a letter which he thoughtfully made public.

CONNOLLY forget there been a disqualification in a championship fight since Jack Sharkey lost to Max Schmeling on a foul in Willie the Beard, almost as much as Zivic, should qualify as an expert in the matter of boxing outside the boundary lines. Gilzenberg once directed the fistic destiny of Two-Ton Tony Galento and, it may be said without fear of libel, the man who was built like a barrel cared little for the niceties of life in or out of the ring. Galento thought everybody was a and said so at the slightest provocation.

Then he set about proving as much in his favorite manner Another inhabitant of the Gilzenberg stable was a red- haired broth of a boy named Freddie (Red) Cochrane. Freddie the Red was another who never worried about the right fork, unless he could hold it while executing a jab or an opponent. Thus it comes as no surprise when Gilzenberg informs Martinez that Cochrane won this same welterweight championship from, of all people, Zivic, in a planned and calculated dirty Giants Need Good Pitching More Than Anything Else It is no good for people to get upset about our Giants. The only reason why I am writing this is because met so many people, lately, who are excited over whether the Giants can, or can not, win the pennant this year. A lot of them are disturbed where the Giants could ever play the world's series in San Francisco, if they get into it.

Matters not to them that it is only late in May and that the world series begin until October. It is a nice thought, however, to know that your friends worry about you. Excepting I hated, all my life, to see my aunt worry over my uncle Mike getting upset. Because when Uncle Mike got upset he drank to settle his nerves and sometimes it took so much liquor to settle his nerves that he always called for my aunt or me to come into the bedroom and brush the pink poodle dogs off the ceiling before they fell on him. RIGHT NOW everybody seems upset, and some of them worrying, because one day the Giant pitching looks good, and the next day it is awful.

As an old campaigner in baseball let me advise you that the Giants are going just as far as their pitching will allow them to go. It matters not how many home runs Willie Mays makes or how many runs our Giants gather. If they got the pitching they are not going any place. My uncle Mike used to see the Alexander pitch for the Cubs and he swore he the greatest, grandest May 28, 1958 17 Ridgley U. S.

Hope In British Golf was pitcher who ever lived. And he included Christy Mathewson, Iron Man McGinnity and big Ed Walsh and the rest of them. Alec ever did to keep in perfect shape was to pull a slot machine lever back and forth, which was good exercise. It kept elbow limber and it is very important to have a limber elbow when you spend a lot of time doing what Alec did, like lifting glasses and so IN OTHER words our Giants need pitching. They could use a solid outfielder and they could use a couple of substitute infielders for utility purposes but above all they need pitching, good solid, consistent guys who when they start shoving the ball at the batters, they remain until over.

Not that our Giants have anybody like the Gfeat Alex who liked his grog in large mugs or Rube Waddell who would leave the box at the slightest gong of a fire engine. The Giants have a pitching staff today that for good be- CONNOLLY be beaten. None of them are fellows who go to wakes and drink themselves to sleep worrying about a lost brother. They are all great young athletes who keep themselves in perfect shape. BUT THERE is one thing the local customers may not understand.

It may be cold and it may be windy in the Seals Stadium, but never felt cold or wind or snow as it is in Milwaukee. And on Thursday night of last week it was so cold that one of the players dropped a handkerchief and before he could pick it up the thing stiffened out and he thought he was seeing things. tl is true the Giants need pitching to keep abreast of things and to continue their march. But forget even with Mays in centerfield theA outfield falls short of being a Hooper-Lewis-Speaker outfit like the old Boston Red Sox had. And while Davenport, Spencer, and Cepeda are a great infield not fall off the deep and compare them to Terry, Jackson, Doyle, Lindstrum of the old Giants years ago.

LONDON (UPI) A tough, sandy-haired U.S. Air Force sergeant the wrong side of the track represents best hope of winning the British amateur golf championship. 47-year-old Harold Ridgley of Haverton, who is regarded the best amateur golfer in Britain. The Britons admiringly call him Ridgley was beaten in the final of last tournament by Reid Jack of Scotland, but this year rated a strong favorite to achieve his greatest goal on the hallowed old course at St. Andrews, June 2-7.

POPULAR IN BRITAIN A win for the short but well- built American with the jaunty air and excellent golfing temperament would be well-received at St. Andrews. He is tremendously popular the length and breadth of the British Isles and is welcomed in every golf club in the land. COMPARING YOUNG ball players early in the season with tried and true campaigners is hazardous. It constitutes a problem as old as troubles between managers and owners.

The owner of a ball club thinks all he needs is a little more hustle and bustle out there, a bit more drive, new faces, no matter who wears But the manager knows better. He admits he work miracles with a young ball club. But I think if Bill Rigney can keep his present pennant gait moving along he will be guilty of a miracle. bad for Rigney now to be in the spot he is, for no matter what happens between now and October, he has to have more replacements, strong replacements, because when a ball club begins to crumble in spots and replacements are not available bar the He has of county championships, numerous club records and the showcase in his house at Garston, Hertfordshire, is filled with trophies.

Golf Assn.) even made me he added. The Americans were allowed 10 players who were exempt from qualifying for the tournament. Ridgley confidently expected to be included in that list. But the gesture from the USGA never came. The reason given was that Ridgley entered from a British course.

The USGA recommended exemptions for 10 stateside amateurs. Undaunted, Ridgley went out on the Moor Park course a few days later and beat a field of 80 to lead all the qualifiers from the counties, those which border London. As he left the last green, two officials of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club approached him and said, done, Harold, delighted you mada So far this season the Ridgley star blazed the same bright trail as last year. off to St. Andrews next Thursday (tomorrow) and by the time that tournament starts.
