Both are leading contenders for Red Coch-rane's welterweight crown and the winner hopes to get a title shot in the Fall. get a whiff of the crown.

Ross, long since retired, Is now a rotund pub proprietor in Chicago. His successor, Henry Armstrong, has also passed to the limbo of ex-champ. Fritzle Zivic, who whipped Armstrong, blew his title to Red Cochrane, a plodding gent who was never even considered Rood enough to meet Jannazzo. What, gripes Mr. Anselmi is that with all this titular activity his boy, who has remained in the top bracket through all these coup d'etats, hasn't been able to break: into the purple circle.

Tonight, in Chick Median's third boxing show of the season at Ebbets Field, Jannazzo is matched over the 10-round route with Cocoa Kid, another outstanding welterweight who apparently does not seen to know the right people either. The Kid has been compiling some fancy records in his division, but his manager, George Shepherd, hasn't been given a chance to talk with the politico who turn the wheels in the scrambled ear industry.

5 The 26th annual Race Week, with more than 140 sailboats representing the 11 clubs holding membership in the Great South Bay Racing Association, got off to a fine start yesterday. Andrew Iselin's Ace, a well known Long Island Sound Star craft, was among the eight boats forced to drop out. Eddie Ketcham of Babylon in Draco II captured the feature race among 17 International Stars, including entries from the Sound. Moriches Bay and Great South Bay. Ketcham was followed by Harold C.

Halsted of the Moriches Bay fleet, several times winner ot the Atlantic Coast International Star championship, while in third place was William H. Picken Jr. Despite the rough going, all of the 26 Snipes that started finished the 4'a-mile triangular course. The fleet of S.S. boats composed larfgely of entries from Moriches Bay, Shinnecock and Southampton clubs.

The leader was William Neagle of Southampton. Top honors in the Class event was taken by Jay Topping of Point o' Woods, who defeated Champion Duncan Arn- i old's Queride by 22 seconds. Oyster Bay, L.

Interest was hit; in the International Stars, especially in the Long Island Sound visitors. John T. Arms' Andiamo of the Pequot Yacht Club, placing third, picked another batch of points, not only for first place in the series but in the defense of the Charles Francis Adams Cup.

Georse E. Elder's Insra finished sc- rnrh. By RALPH TROST There was almost one of the great scores of all times yesterday at Siwanoy in the qualifying round of the women's New York State championship. Marjorie Harrison, the Syracuse University senior, was out in 33, three under par. Another such score on the Inner nine would have tied the 68 Mrs.

Opal Hill chalked up in a Kansas championship. A 35, even par, for the Siwanoy back nine, would have equalled Mrs. Estclle Lawson Page's famed 68 scored in a Carolina tournament. But the best the stout up-State girl could do In fact, the best she tried to do was 41 coming In for a 74. "I Just knew I never could play nine holes like that again, Ii scared me," Marjorie said.

And so she unhitched her wagon from that star she was trailing and deliberately went about chopping out a 41. Match Play a Relief Maybe it sound goofy. But it's true. There are numberless golfers like Miss Harrison who play golf In nine-hole stretches. For no other reason, really, than an accident that happened a century ago.

Some Scots happened to have laid out a golf course on a spit of land Jutting out from the town of St. Andrews. They played 11 holes out, then doubled back over the same greens and played 11 holes In. Eventually some of the shorter holes were dropped to make way I for long holes. It so happened that I this whole thing worked out to develop two nine-hole stretches.

I one out and the other in. If St. Andrews hadn't developed 1 this In nine and out nine, Marjorie Harrison would not have been startled by going out in 33 and I that, golf, therefore, might have recorded a great score. 1 Well, tcday the match play i starts. That should be a relief to a flock of gals who were so card- and-pencil jittery yesterday that It took many players over four hours for their round.

At every short hole there were so many caddies and women gathered round that It looked as if Siwanoy were holding I a series of conventions. Mrs. Leichner Rallies One out of four qualifiers were Long isianaers. Thais a pretty fair average. Mrs.

Marion Turpi; MzNaughton, who trailed Mis-Harrison by two strokes, mUht wdi have been down around 74. Sh: played well. So, too, did Mrs. Ruth Adel Torgerson, who hit her shots far better than that 85 she tallied. Trees got in Mrs.

Torgerson's way. Just two. But two were plenty. Mrs. Sylya Annenberg Leichner got a pushy start but snapped out of it quickly and qualified comfortably with an 80.

Mrs. Percy Uris made a little rough work of it but managed to scramble out a qualifying 91. Mrs. J. B.

Balding, who did so well in the Long Island medal event at the Creek. Just couldn't beat these rough-sanded Siwanoy bunkers but got in with an 89. There were 103 starters but only three withdrawals. What these women start they finish, even if slowly Edith Morton, the 17-year-old from Shelter Rock, the youngest qualifier, is steadily Im proving her medal game. Her 85 came easy.

Wasaka Remarkable Sight A breeze greeted the fleet today as it started from the North Dumpling Light, giving the fleet a reaching breeze to the finish line off the entrance to Montauk Harbor, a distance of 20 miles. Most of the skippers broke out thoir Genoa Jibs and if the breeze holds out will reach their objective early this evening.

The first day's squaon-ruh winners included Gilbert Warner's Wasaka, John K. Starweather's In- temational sloop Freya and De- Coursey Fales' Nina. One of the most remarkable sights in years was the perform- a of the anclen Wasaka, a sloop built in 1904 from the board of the late Nat Herreshoff. Gii Warner had the old gal stepping right along with her more modern sisters and it was not until South Norwalk was reached on the run from Rye that Nina, sailed by De-Coursey Fales, could overtake Wasaka and pass her. Even then the big ocean racer could not readily shake off her smaller and older competitor until well past New Haven.

Nina was first to finish Sundav night, taking more than ten hours to negotiate the 77 miles from Rye. Wasaka came in two hours later and won in the first division, cruising class boat for boat and on corrected time. Chetwood Elliott skippered Freedom to second place to Wasaka and W. T. Moore's eight-meter sloop Seafox was third.

Freya Also a Surprise Don Laflln of the Larchmont Yacht Club sailed his new cutter, Temperance, to a second place on corrected time in the big cruising boat division, 20 minutes astern of Nina, while Graham Biglow's Tiny Teal took third on corrected time. Four 32-footers raced Senator Frederic Coudert Jr. was first of these to finish with his Notus II, but failed to save his time against the others In his division and placed fourth.

But whether It is Cocoa Kid or Jannazzo who wins this evening, neither will get a shot at Cochrane. Mr. Zivlc is already set for that chance, and if Zivic wins Cochrane will probably demand a return shot at Zivic. But if you're not Interested In who fights whom when, and you care only what you see when you pays your dough, then tonight's affair between Jannazzo and Cocoa Kid should appeal to you.
