GIANT HEAVYWEIGHT
IN DEBUT TOMORROW
BY FAIRPLAY.

NEW YORK. August 2.-Humbert
Fugazy Is best known for his ability
to put winning shows together at pop.
ular prices and give the fans value
for value.
The fans will be surprised to learn
that Fugazy is also a keen judge of
fighters and SO far has been able to
discover two champions. The late
Freddy Welsh and Jimmy Goodrich
were chosen to lead their division,
and in them Fugazys judgment was
borne out.
Fugazy Is putting on show tomor-
row evening in the Brooklyn National
League Ball Park. In one of the
minor bouts he will introduce a young
giant by the name Of Roberto Roberti.
The latter is only % years old, weighs
21S pounds and stands six feet four
inches in his stocking feet. Roberti
is a native Of Italy, and this will be
his first appearance in this country.
Roberti has had a colorful career.
While engaged in farm work on the
other side his employer. noticing his
great strength, hired him to handle
big stone slabs in the repair work of
a monastery. All the work had to be
done by hand power, and the fact that
young ROberti stuck to his guns gives
you a fair idea of his enormous
strength and staying powers.
He became an artists model and
posed for the statue of Italy's I'm
known Soldier. 1t was while he was
engaged in this work that he took up
boxing. and his fame spread to this
country. FugaZy senSed the future
greatness of the youngster and
brought him over.

STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE

monument to the group of men who
set out some years ago to lengthen
BannoCkburn's old nine-hols layout to
a course of near Standard length. The
course Is on the short side today, but
its holes are so diversified and so ad-
mirably laid out that even the finest
player finds plenty Of trouble IL he
wanders from the straight and narrow
line.
Bannockburn Is blessed with at least
four of the finest short holes around
Washington, while it's long holes chal-
lenge the best wooden shots of the ex-
pert, particularly the second hole.
from whose elevated green a splendid
view Of the Potomac Valley toward
Great Falls may be obtained.
Bill Comedian, who laid out part of
Columbia'S new holes, went over the
hill at the second at Bannockburn a
few years ago with a gang of men and
bunch Of scoops and blasted out of
woods and rocky hillsdes six of the
best holes on the entire course. The
others. laid out on land Of more gen.
tie contour, came later.
While all the development on the
course was proceeding, new club
house was under construction. This
has now been completed and today
BannOckburn has all the necessary
requisites of first-class club-a fine
golf course and commodious and ex.
cellent clubhouse.
Probably not until Friday will the
fate Of George j. Voigt be made
known to golf world which awaits
the decision of the United States Golf
Association as to whether or not the
District champion will be eligible to
play in the national amateur cham.
pionship. The executive committee of
the United States Golf Association
considered Voigt's case yesterday,
according to advices from Cleveland,
but no decision was made known.
Spokesman for the committee indi-
Gated that the decision would be made
known later in the week in New York.
Voigt has been before the United
States Golf Association before. In
1921 when the national open was
played at Columbia, Voigt's name was
inadvertently entered without the
designation amateur" before it. He
appeared on the starting list without
the Mr." which always designates
an amateur in the open championship.
Consequently the golf governing body
regarded him as a professional. He
was reinstated the following year after
some question had arisen as to his
exact status. He was then a public
links golfer. although he had not
more than started the successful
career which has earned him every
links title in this section.
A challenge issued on behalf Of
Frank White, 7O-year-old player Of
the Argyle Country Club. has been
accepted by J. p. Hubbell, also 20
years old. who plays at East Potomac
Park. Hubbell suggests that the pair
| play 36-hole match, with the first
| round Of IS holes to be played at
Argyle and the second round on the
public park course.

TONE TO CHICAGO BOXING

the middleweight division between
Mickey Walker and Tiger Flowers.
Flowers held the championship. and
most sport writer's thought he gave
Walker a good trouncing, but the de-
cision went to Mickey. There followed
big hullaballoo with a great deal of
talk about legislative action to ban
boxing again.
Now i'm Poor Standing.
The usual reports were circulated
concerning the influence certain big
New York gamblers have on cham
pionship fights, and lately the fight
business has been in poor standing
locally.
Now, if Tunney comes here, with his
reputation as an outstanding honest
character, he may change the COM
plexion Of the business. and put it
back on better plane.
At any rate the prospect Of a $780,.
900 hippodrome seems too much of a
temptation for Chicago to resist 1t is
for that reason that the fight Is ex.
pected here.

BY OWEN L. SCOTT.

~HICAGO, August 1t Is
going to take the reputed
high moral character of
~ Champion Gene Tunney to
give proper standing to the
prospective Dempsey-Tunney pugilistlc
battle of the century now on the cards
for Chicago, September Is.
Middlewest fight fans have had
bad taste left in their mouths by
the last three championship en-
counters staged here. Now with the
big heavyweight bout all set, unless
q last minute hitch develops, Gene
Tunney will have to lend it the right
tone to offset the effect of recent
experience.
Back in 1900 1t was a shady cham
pionship bout between Joe Cans, the
great negro fighter and Terry Nc
Govern, which resulted in the ban
ming of the fight game here FOR 20
years. In the last two years the
brand of championship affairs put on
here has been so unsatisfactory that
the last Illinois legislature started
an investigation that looked for
time as though it would result in
another ban on the fight game.
Will Handle With Care.
But several talks with George
Getz, local coal magnate, VINO IS
scheduled to promote the Dempsey
Tunney battle. reveal that this time
the big event from start to hnlsh Will
he run on real business principles:
1--WE want to give the Middle West
the biggest and best sport show II ever
has seen" Mr.. GetZ says. "Those who
promote the bout for Chicago wouldn't
want a thing out of it. We merely
would he interested in seeing that all
bills are paid. that all scandals are
prevented before they start. and that
TEX Richard and the fighters get as
big a return as they can. We want a
real, high class 10-round championship
fight"
Championship battles here in the
other divisions have not been OF that
sort. Three titles have changed
hands locally. and each time there has
been scandal talk and lot Of howl
ing. The first big encounter was be-
tween Rocky Kansas, champion at the
time in the lightweight division. and
Sammy Mandell. Mandell won the
title after a good share of the spec
tators had thought he took a licking.
A year ago Bud Taylor was made
bantamweight champion because Phil
Rosenberg, who then held the title, de-
clined to enter the ring until the pro-
moter had posted his guarantee, which
he failed to do.
This was followed by title bout in

He is a student Of music. this

and he rode a bicycle a dozen
miles to the Muirtield course to
take up his days labor and his
days triumph.
What light danced in his blue
eyes when Sweetser won! The
proudest boy in Scotland just then
was Jameson Hogg.
Well, Bobby Jones caddy would
not give up.
II know he's the greatest Of
them ALL" said Jack Mcintyre,
tears in his eyes, after Bobby was
beaten. "You'll find me waiting at
st. Anne's. He'll show 'em all in

of the merchants will be in for their
share Of the profits.
The railroads are preparing for the
heaviest travel ever experienced for
sporting event.
Richard has arranged for wide
distribution of his fight tickets. since
the railroads have offered their CO.
operation in handling out-of-town or
ders by making their own ticket offices
agencies for fight tickets.
A range of prices from. S. to $40
will prevail. The $40 seats, choice
ringside locations, will be the last put
out for sale. The next best seats will
be $50, and then on down from SIS,
$40 to the bottom price Of S. for the
unreserved sections.
The cost of promoting the fight,
aside from the million or more the
boxers will split, will run up in the
six-figure division. There's the $780,
900 just for using Soldiers Field, the
cost Of extra seats. the State and Fed
eral taxes, the ballyhooing and other
incidental necessities which Tex has
to meet.
Richard himself. the wise prognosti-
| Gators opine, will be repaid for his
worries by profit Of half million

His method is to open the face or

This permits him to get great loft,
