BIZ Times Special
NEW YORK. March 25.-Inter-
est in tonight's light-heavyweight
bout between Young Stribling and
Jimmy Slattery centers in the per-
Torrance of the Georgia youth.
Stribling, who outweighs the
Buffalo boy by ten pounds, is recog-
nized as a possible challenger for
the worlds heavyweight champion
ship within a few years at the most.
Slattery, because of his recent I'M
satisfactory showings, is regarded
as one of those boxers who Is mot
going anywhere"
The bout IS drawing better than
was to be expected Madison Square
Garden expecting to be jammed to-
night.
Stribling will be the favorite. IL
he wins. as most experts think he
should, he will be matched with
Gene Tunney, after which it will
be time to think Of the heavyweight
title.
II Stats should have one Of his
good nights and win the decision
from the southerner, it will be a
serious setback for the Stribling
family
The Georgia boy was scheduled to
meet Trnney a few weeks ago in
Miami, but the fight was called off
at the last minute because of failure
to meet a guarantee by the pro
motors. Richard has announced his
readiness to stage the bout here in
the event that Stribling triumphs
over Slattery.
Slattery won a siX-round decision
from the Georgian on Fen. %, 1924,
when both boys were under the age
limit, and the return match has been
hanging fire ever since.

Pat Donoghue, 15-Year-.
Old Son of Famous
Steve, Pilots 100 to |

BIZ United Press
LINCOLN, England. March 25.--
Fifteen year-old Pat Donoghue is a
hero to every English schoolboy. The
lad, whose father is the famous Steve
Donoghue, foremost rider in Eng
| land, rode in his irst big race
Wednesday and booted home a 100
toll shot a winner in the Lincoln
shire handicap.
King of Clubs, on which young
Donoghue had the leg up. was an
ordinary selling platter purchased by
his present owner a year ago for
81 $50. Yet, the boy who only re-

fessional jockey, got his mount home
ahead Of some Of the best horses in
training in England.
Father Last
Steve Donoghue, the father, rode
Angela, and tied for last place in a
field of twenty-seven.
AS young Pat slipped from the sad

finish of the handicap, he was crying
and trying to smile at the same time.
Between excited gasps he managed
to stammer:
Il was lucky to get a quick start,
but 1 knew he was fast"
If young Donoghue had confidence
in his mount none Of the experts
did, and the colt was absolutely ig-
nored in the betting.
FavOrite Second

finished head behind King of Clubs,

AT the half another horse got it's
nose out in front, but Pat went to
the whip like an old-timer in the
stretch and shot King Of Clubs home
a winner by a head.

stricting the use of the forward

GRAFTON OF the rule for at least
year, according to IL. Il. Hale, chair
man of the rules committee.
The committee feels that it was

the intention Of improving the game.
and that any such changes should
be given the benefit Of a test.
1t has happened several times that
changes in the rules have been re-
voked after they have been tested
for a season. as was the case in
the kickoff rule last year, and if
the rule permitting the quarter
back only one incompleted pass
without a penalty slows up the
game, it may be scratched off the
books next winter.
May Change Minds
The committee feels also. it is
said, that as many coaches will be
found indorsing the rule as are be
