That's what Lew Tendler said last night as the greatest boxing southpaw of the past tried to console Bettina, greatest southpaw south-paw of the present, and his manager, man-ager, Jimmy Grippo, after their last "money fight" had been cancelled by weather. Bettina, hairy-chested victor of 33 consecutive heavyweight tilts, was slated to fight a return bout last night with Gus Dorazio at Shibe Park, but bad weather canceled can-celed it. It was to have been Bettina's last money fight before entering the army on Thursday. Out of this bout he expected to net at least $10,000 to serve as a nest egg for his mother, father and two younger brothers while he carried on in the service... But there could be no further postponement of the brawl because: be-cause: (1) it had been held up by weather since Monday night; (2) the Philadelphia National League baseball club takes over Shibe Park tomorrow night; and (3) Melio joins the army as a buck private Thursday in his home town of Beacon, N. Y. Lew Tendler, the former great ' southpaw lightweight who fought Champion Benny Leonard twice in historic big-money extravaganzas, extrava-ganzas, told Bettina: "Listen boy, this may be the greatest break you ever got. The army will appreciate you a lot more, since you didn't get the chance to make that money. Because Be-cause of this and because you're asking no favors from the army by going in as a buck private you'll unquestionably be ranked in military circles u.s the No. 1 conteiwlap for ' -mhot at Champion Joe Louis. Although Louis is a corporal in the army and you're Just a private, you can yell your head off for a fight and probably prob-ably get it. But you couldn't do that before you stepped into uniform." uni-form." Tendler emphasized that good southpaws were the "ugly ducklings" duck-lings" of their divisions because no prominent battler -and particularly par-ticularly champions wanted to meet them because of their unorthodox un-orthodox stance and awkward sty!i. He said it was well known in fight circles from coast to coast that Promoter Mike Jacobs had proposed Bettina as a Louis opponent time and again, but that Bomber Joe and his advisers had consistently rejected the Beacon Bea-con boy because of his style. Bettina and Manager Grippo GOO Heavy White Sailcloth CARPENTER'S OVERALLS ?2.29 Taylor Bros. Co. y) wo Bettina Might Get nodded. Louis' repeated refusals to tackle Bettina was no news to them. Tendler said: "I never thought Leonard would fight me because of my style. Benny wasn't loo anxious. But Benny was a great champion licked me twice and he took me on. Louis is supposed to be a great champion, and I guess he is. I don't see how he can sidestep side-step you, if he ever defends the title, now that you'll be in uniform. uni-form. "The only other opponent the army might suggest is Private Billy Conn. But he fought Louis once and was knocked out. You're unbeaten as a heavyweight and never have faced Louis, because he wouldn't face you. It looks to me like you're in for a Louis fight." Tendler told Bettina that he might have been cut up or suffered suf-fered a broken hand had he met Dorazio at Shibe Park last night. Instead, he is going into the army in fine shape after three weeks of training at Beacon and Philadelphia. Phila-delphia. Because of this if nothing noth-ing more -he must be considered the No. 1 challenger if Louis defends de-fends in September "or whenever when-ever he defends," Tendler said. PIONEER LEAGUE W L Pet.

Both starters Ernie White for St. Louis and Larry French for the Dodgers were knocked out of the box. A eeven-run outburst against Kirby Higbe and Ed. Head broke the afterpiece wide open in the seventh frame. Earlier it had been a tight 1-1 pitching duel, but two misplayed bunts opened the games and 12 Cardinals went to bat before George Kurowski was tagged on the baseline fori the third out. Cincinnati held on to third place by defeating the Phils, 8-1, and 3-1. while the fourth-place Mia nn n hn mi Dsrbv v. THESE days, Brown Derby Men are folks who formerly drank imported Pilsner.
