Anniversary of
Memorable Fight

Thirty-five years ago today
saw the climax Of the greatest
pugilistic tournament of world S
championship fistic events ever
chron:cled, when Jas. j. Corbett
Of San Francisco, Calf, dethron-
ed the mighty John L. Sullivan
at New Orleans, La, in the
twenty first round of the first
heavyweight championship glove
battle under Marquis Of Queens
bury rules IN the history of pugi-
hsm.
Two nights previous Jack Nc
Auliffe worlds lightweight
champion had disposed of Billy
Myer, his closest rival, and on
the night before. George Dixon,
the colored featherweight title
holder, had successfully defend
ed his laurels in a battle with
Jack Skelly Of New York. The
fistic carnival ended auspicious
ly with the defeat of the immor-
tai John L. Sullivan and the
crowning of the youthful Jas. j.
Corbett. All three events were
staged by the same club in the
Crescent City.
The Corbett- Sullivan affair was
the turning poin in fisticuffs and
and no ring battle before or
since has taken its place rs
subject of continued world wide
interest.

TILDEN STICKS
TO HUNTER FOR
TENNIS DOUBLES
Committee Prefers Bill
Johnston But ''Big Bill"
Carries Point.
BY MARY X. BROWNE
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

Copyright. 1927, by United Press)
NEW YORK, Sept. I.-C'harles
Garland, the non-playing captain of
the American Davis cup squad, said
to me as conclusion to lengthy
discussions:
America must look on the
gloomy side of things to this ex-
tent:
1--WE must not take an uuneces-
sary chance on losing the doubles
match, for we cannot tell what may
happen the final dav even should
We win the first two singles"
Judging from this opinion, Tilden
and Hunter will be named as the
doubles combination. 1t can, how
ever, be changed at the last minute.
There is no question in the minds
of the committee that Johnston
Tilden would make stronger team
than Hunter and Tildcn but the eff
feet upon Tilden if the committee
breaks up the combination of his
choosing much be considered.
The girls national championship
is in progress not stones throw
from where the famous Davis cup
classic will be played tomorrow. 1t
is an impressive title and the little
Hclens - are in the making who
will some day be impressing the
world in no uncertain way.
Helen Wills won this title twice
before she was Is. Helen Jacobs
also came into prominence via tho
girls national.
California promises TO have an
other of her daughters gain fame
and a national title. Nidgc Glad
man of that illustrious tennis state
has come on with an Impressive col
lection of strokes She has an un-
usually we'll developed back hand
but She is still crratic from her
forearm.
Midge Gladman, I believe, is good
enough to win the title.

TUNNEY'S EYE
CUT IN BATTLE
WITH PARTNER
Injury Halts Program at
Training Camp Until
Wound Heals.
By CLARK B. KELSEY
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent)

CHICAGO, Sept. IA cut over
Gene Tunncy's eye and Jack Demp,
scy's fear of becoming overtrained
before their fight two weeks hence
kept them from working with their
sparring partners today.
Dempsey planned to devote the
day to golf, while Tunney was to
go through the usual setting up ex-
erciscs, bag punching and road
work.
So far it appears Tunney has OBJ
tanned more for his money from his
sparring mates than Dempsey has
because Tunney's training oppo-
ments show more ability than the
Ealf dozen youths who engage with
Jack.
Chuck Wiggins, indianapolis
heavyweight who has been fighting
for some Is years, nearly brought
disaster to the Tunney camp when
he brought his right across Tunney's
face yesterday and cut the champi-
on 3 right eyes with the lacing OF
his glove. Blood started to spout
from the wound and Virgins was
all apology but Tunney badc him
stand back and continue fighting.
That was the cause of Tunney's
plan to omit the boxing today but
it was expected the cut would soon
heal.
In both Tunney's and Dempscv's
camps are fighters who have not
shown often in the public workouts.
1t was believed that Eddie Fgan,
the Oxford amateur, may have been
boxing in private with the title
holder while Dave Shade. one of the
fastest middleweights in the bust
ness. may have been working with
! Dempsey in secret.
Tunney spends much of his time
roaming about the huge estate. As
he walks he clasps his fists tightly
about "grips small steel slugs,
which he uses to strengthen his
hands.

game lead yesterday by beating the
Reds. ) to 0. Ray Kremer pitched
a three hit game for the Pirates
and the Reds never had a chance to
score.
The Giants continued to press for
the lead by attacking the Braves
viciously in the early innings for a
Q to 8 victory. The latter rallied
later and drove Benton from the
mound but Grimes saved the game.
st. Louis took lead of one and
one half games on the Cubs by beat :
ing them Is to |. The pitching of
Grove Alexander was responsible
for holding the Cubs in check. Per
oy Jones started for the Cubs and
went out in the second inning with
the score 6 to 0 against him.
The scheduled double header was
prevented by rain in the second in.
ming of the second game. The Cubs
were leading to 0 and had started
a dangerous rally, when the game
was stopped.
Boston and New York divided q
double header, H. and % while
Babe Ruth entertained the fans
with three homo runs and Lou
Gehrig hit one. Ruth got one of his
home runs in the last inning of the
second game which Boston won, in
spite of the effective pitching of
Russell, who had held the Yanks
scorelcSs until that time.
Washington and Philadelphia also
divided two games, the Senators
winning the first 1t to Q and the
Athletics tho second to 0. The
first game was wild affair with
the Senators coming from behind in
the fifth. Rommell's pitching for
Philadelphia was so effective in tho
second game that the visiting team
could get only four hits.
st. Louis scored one run in every
inning except the first aud seventh
TO win from Cleveland 7 to 4.
The White SoX rallied for four
runs in the seventh to clinch a vic.
tory over the Tigers, Q to 6.

Lomski, Aberdeen, Wash, light
heavyweight, today looms as the out.
standing, threat in the IFS pound
division despite the fact that in
last night IS bout with Ernie Owens
of Seattle he received but a draw
for 10 rounds of concerted effort.
Referee Freddy Gilmore s deci-
sion was boohed to an echo b. some
5000 fans. the bulk of whomc gave
Lomski six rounds, Owens three,
with one even.
Owens Hurried briefly in the
ninth and tenth rounds, employing
his publicized "knockout right
hand. He shook Lomski up in those
frames, but the northwesterner kept
his feet and failed away.
After a cautious first round, Lom
ski started scoring with a left that
seemed to hurt Owens who was con-
tent to throw over an occasional
right hand punch and hang on. Lom-
skis two-fisted attack bewildered
Owens who vainly tried to employ
his lengthy arms in tying up his
rival in the clinches. Owens weigh
ed 1872 and Lomski III.
Joe Woods, former amateur light
heavyweight, scored technical
knockout over Cliff Ramies when
the latter was unable to answer the
bell at the start of the third round.
just before the bell in the second,
Woods right caught Ramies on the
temple dropping him cold. The
count had reached four when the
gong ended the frame.
Mickey Emo, lU5 pounder, took
the decision from Gonzolo Rubio,

GRAIN TRADING
ACT CONSIREDFD
BY ILL. SOLONS

CHICAGO, April % (P.-A prelimin-
ary recommendation for legislation to
modernize Illinois laws governing
grain trading, described as antiquated
will be made to the house of repre-
sentatives of the state legislature next
Friday.
In stating that the house committee
now investigating grain trading will
be ready at that time TO make a partial
report. Thomas Curran, chairman, de-
clined to comment upon the form the
suggested legislation would take. = 1t
was noted, however, that members of
the committee in questioning today
sought specific information on the
duties of state inspectors in relation to
grain in store.
This Interrogation developed that the
INSPECTORS note the condition of grain
only when it is sent to the elevators
and when removed for shipment.
Testimony of George e. Thompson,
former superintendent of elevators for
the Armour Grain company, who has
been before the committee three times,
terminated abruptly today when Ben
iamin IF. Goldstein, counsel, refused to
continue his questioning.
Goldstein contended there was evil
dence of perjury in Thompson's story
and recommended the record be turned
over to the states attorney. Curran
said this will be done.
Frank ACrombie, former superin-
tendent Of the Northwestern elevator,
was testifying to the condition of the
grain in his elevator when the hearing
suddenly ended because of the illness
of GoIdstein The attorney was suffers
ing from cold. Hearings Will be re-
sumed tomorrow il his health permits,
