TORONTO. Ontario. August 23.--
Fifty-nine woman swimmers were here

In the big field two New York girls

Although the race was reckoned to be
q duel between these two, there were
others that were conceded more than
an outside chance of winning. Among
these were Olive Oatterdam, former
Seattle girl, now living in Toronto, who
finished second to Miss Hertle in 1923:
Ruth Tower of Denver, Jane Thoms Of
Terre Haute, Ind, and Anna Priller
Eenott of Holyoke, Mas. Most experts
expected these girls to make most Of

money The winner will receive $4,000.
with $4,000 for second place, 81 900 for
third, $500 for fourth and S400 for

Among other contenders were 1s-
year-old Leah Riley CT New York. Mrs.
Evelyn Armstrong Of Detroit, Lillian
Garrick of New York and Agnes and
Jessie Chester of Long Island N. Y.
In winning the race last year Miss

Judges of the game call Cuyler the best

Walker is about washed up. He

met me.
Walker, as the winner, will talk lot,
of course. However, he can't have even
a remote claim to the title will shortly
give up until he meets Braddock. Then
he Is almost certain to fail.

Mickey was a fine fighter once, but
not now. He tires very easily, and isn't
at all hard to hit. Braddock has a
deadly right hand, and, II he lands
which think he Is sure to do-Walker
will take ride. The State Athletic
Commission won't let them meet In New
York, for Walker isn't allowed to go out
of his class there without giving up hts
title, but they would draw well In Chi
Cago or Philadelphia.
I was disappointed In Lomski, for I
expected more Of him than I did of
Mickey. But he didn't show anything.
1t may sound strange to hear me

FAY, HIS PROTEGE,
IS FINE PROSPECT
Writer Rates Him as Easily
Best of Newcomers to
Top Ring Class.
BY JOHN J. ROMANO.

n YEW YORK, August 23.-One
has but to look over the heavy
VI weight field to discover the
4 lack of high-class fighting tall
ent among the big fellows.
That this will be remedied shortly,
probably in the course of the next year,
Is all that interests the fans who like
to sit in and watch the behemoths of
the ring batter each other around. Ex-
perience is all that the rising crop
needs and the Sharkeys, Maloneys and
Loughrans, for that matter. will be
names best forgotten for the big money
they have collected for alleged high
class boxing contests.
Babe Hunt of Ponca City, Okla, heads
the list of newcomers. Then there are
George Hoffman and Buddy Howard,
both former national amateur cham
pions. Al Fay. the pride of Jack
kearns' eye, and one or two others
scattered Throughout the country.
Just now the WYiter thinks AL Fay is
far and away the best of the budding
crop. Fay, who has technical knock
out over George Hoffman, and has had
but five fights. looms up as one of the
most feared heavies in the world. The
other night in Philadelphia, Fay gave
a master exhibition of fighting fury and
savage punching one looks for but docs
Tony Talerico, whom Eddie Eicher, Leo
Lon1ski's manager, expected to NOV
down the heavies in the East, Fay tore in
and did not stop punching until Tony
was stretched out on the floor helpless
and the referee was forced to intervene
before the game Talerico was seriously
hurt.
With fellow with only five fights
Under his belt and acting up as Fay
does, one comes 10 the conclusion that
Jack Kearns may realize his ambition
of handling another world champion.
George Hoffman continues to go to
the floor, pick himself up and come
back to score victories. Angus Saliva
tore Ruggerillo had Hoffman on the
floor only to come out on the short end
of the fight. Buddy Howard has been
winning with regularity and is I'M
beaten as professional. The New
Haven lad shows improvement in every
start.
With such crop Of promising lads
looming on the horizon interest in the
heavyweight class Is perking UP and
one may expect hard walloping cham
pion to be crowned before another year
passes.
