Art Risks Title Chance Art Aragon risks a possible crack at the welterweight title when he faces left - booking Joe Micell of New York in Saturday night's 10 round main event at Hollywood Legion Stadium. Aragon, favored by a 12-4 margin to reverse a previous loss to Micell, has been promised a June championship match, provided he gets past the New Eorker. Though Micell is regarded as the veteran, Aragon is one year older at 31 and has been boxing as a pro four years longer than also. Back in August of 1955, after just beating Don Jordan, Aragon was handed a one-sided pasting by Micell. Art was down twice in the 10 round bout. Only Lost One Since then, Aragon has lost but one fight and that to Carmen Bailio last summer at Wrigley Field. Art's over-all record is 85-15-6 and includes 39 knockouts. In his last match, the Golden One hailed Charlie Sawyer at the Legion, Jan. 30. A dangerous puncher at all times, Micell comes off four straight losses. However, prior to defeating Aragon in 35, he had been so-ed by Virgil Akins. In his last local appearance, Joe stopped Karl Guder last Oct. 11 at Hollywood. The colorful Italian-American has met and beaten some of the best in the game over the years. His top wins are over Bud Smith, Ike Williams, Johnny Saxton, Virgil Akins, all world champions; also over Bobby Dykes, Pierre Langlois, Stan Harrington, Ramon Fuentes and Jay Fullmer. Weight for the match is 150 pounds and neither boxer expects any weight problems. Good tickets remain in all prices and a sellout is not anticipated by Matchmaker Jackie Leonard. Price $35, $3.50, $2.50 and $1.25, tax included. Training Starts For Hillsdale The training schedule for Hillsdale, currently the nation's leading money winner for 1969 with earnings of $171,150, began to take a more serious note yesterday at Hollywood Park where the C. W. Smith color bearer is awaiting the start of the 25-day meeting on May 8. With Jockey Tommy Barrow aboard, Hillsdale stepped five furious in 1:00 2-5 in his first heavy drill since he finished second to Terrang in the Santa Anita Handicap nearly two months ago. Trainer Marty Fallon was pleased with the work turned in by the strapping Indiana-bred star, who will have ample opportunity to increase his bankroll in his first two Hollypark outings, the $60,000 added Los Angeles Handicap on May 18 and the $100,000 added California a week later. Fallon announced that Barrow, who has returned from a brief trip to Florida where he rode several winners at Gulfstream Park, will be the regular rider for Hillsdale at Hollywood Park.

LAS VEGAS, Nev. (UPI) — Art Wall, the soft-spoken champion of the 1958 professional golfing circuit believes in hunches. "And I have a hunch I won't win this Tournament of Champions," said Art. "And I have another hunch—that Billy Maxwell will win it." "There's no reason I should pick Maxwell, other than the fact that he plays real well in the wind and, if you will look up his last five tournaments, you'll find he has been right up there in all of them. It's just a junch. But don't pick me." Littler, Wall Co-Favorites The gamblers of Las Vegas—and you can find one on every corner—have installed artful Art as the co-favorite at 6-1, along with three-time champion Gene Littler. Maxwell is listed in the wagering matrix at 20-1 in a field of only 28 competitors. "I don't believe a favorite ever has won this tournament," said Wall. "Al Besselink was a long-shot when he won in 1953; I was a long-shot when I won it in 1954." Then game Littler for three years in a row; when he won it in 1955, Cary Middlecoff was the favorite. Along came 1968 and nobody believed he ever could repeat. And again Middlecoff was a favorite. In 1957, nobody believed that Littler could win again except Frankie Laime, who bought him in the Calcutta pool for the third straight time. This time the names of Arnold Palmer, Doug Ford, Jimmy Demaret and others were supposed to be winners. "Last year, Stan Leonard was one of the longest shots in the field—but he won." Spunky Tomy Lee Poses Problem For Jockey Bill Shoemaker LEXINGTON, Ky. (UPI) — To my Lee, who showed spunk to match his speed in winning Thursday's running of the Blue Grass Stakes at Keeneland, headed for Churchill Downs and the Kentucky Derby today posting a problem for jockey Willie Shoemaker. Shoemaker was impressed by the English-born colt's courage as he turned back a determined drive by Claiborne Farm's Duncan in the stretch to win the $25,000 added Derby prep by little more than a head. "The horse ran a game race. When that other horse came to him, he went on," Shoemaker said, but quickly added, "I still have not decided on the Derby. I'll make up my mind Saturday." "The Shoe" referred to his engagement to ride Brookmeade Stable's Sword Dancer in the seven-furlong Stepping Stone Purse at Churchill Downs Saturday, a race which will attract several Derby contenders, including Calumet Farm's On-And-On and probably the C. V. Whitney filly, Silver Spoon. Sword Dancer will have to perform brilliantly Saturday to gain a long-shot when I won it in 1954. While pointing the favoritism awaits from himself, Wall couldn't overlook his own record. During the past year he qualified for play here by winning five titles: The Rubber City Open at Akron, O. the Eastern, Bing Croshy national pro-amateur, Alaia Open and last but least, the Masters crown at Augusta. "I can't see much difference in my game this year than any other year," say Art, "except that I'm just playing maybe five per cent better in all departments. That's enough to win."

Slated for Friday night at 8 p.m., the Orange County North-South game will be the first county attempt at an "All Star, Senior Bowl" type game and already interest is running high with some 72 players nominated for participation. Final selection will be made by Orange County sports writers, during the week of April 27th. Although the game site is still tentative, a proposal is currently before the Santa Ana City Council to have the Santa Ana Bowl serve as the playing field.

Penrose Appears Man to Beat In Amateur Golf Tourney PINEHURST, N. C. (UPI) — Jack Penrose of Miami appeared the man to beat today as the 30th annual North and South Amateur golf tournament moved into its semi-final round. Penrose met young Gene Andrews of Pacific Palsades, Calif., in one semi-final match while the other paired veteran Bob Cochran of St. Louis and 19-year-old collegan Jack Nicklaus of Columbus, Ohio. Penrose held a 1-up lead at the turn Thursday against three-time winner Bill Campbell of Huntington, W. Va., but Campbell evened it on the 10th and the lead seawed until the 15th which Penrose took with a par four. Penrose can into trouble on the 16th but recovered to halve the hole and then took the 15th and 16th for his 3 and 2 win. Andrews defeated John Guenther of Reading, Pa., 3 and 2, and Cochran downed veteran Mal Galletta of Old Westbury, N.Y., 2 and 1. Andrews, playing his first tournament here, went 1-up with a 25-foot putt on the 13th and his putting carried him the rest of the way. Cochran, who first played in this tournament in 1834, fought a mip-and-tuck battle with 1944 winner Galletta until the 11th when making the Cards a pennant threat in a year or two.
