Argentine Fighter appears Good Prospect Heavy Conen

126-pound title but il one was to Judge
from the opposition Fernandez sIowed..
the Cuban has long way to 20 be-
fore he will be reckoned seriously. ~
Chocolate has everything but the
punch and Is apt to outpoint any boy
In the world. But with the punch lack4
ing there is always a chance that; d
stray shot may hit him on the chin and
spoil the evening.
One thing noted in the Kids work Is
that he moves too swiftly and for. that
reason never sets long enough to hit
solidly. This may be the show of on
the Kids all around work. Without
the punch he cannot hope to cope with
the boys who continue to tear in and
frail away with both fists and IL is a
sure thing that once he permits his
fire to rise to the surface and punch
away as he did against Fernandez one
punch will settle the works aud spoil
an otherwise good evening.
Chocolate took some nice digs In the
body and dispelled the illusion that he
would not stand up and take body pun
ishment. In close Fernandez pounded
away with short cuffs and Chocolate
took them without losing his golden
grin.
AS remarked before, Fernandez and
his type do not show the Cuban fash at
his best. 1t requires better workman
ship to bring out all Chocolate has.

FRESHMAN IS SURE
TO WIN TITLE BOUT
Lougman, Champion, and
Braddock, Challenger, Both
Are CeIticS.

By the Associated Press.
N YEW YORK, July 1.-THE Irish,
at least, have nothing to worry
about. The nght-heavyweigh
/ championship Of the world will
remain in Celtic CUSTODY no
matter whether Tommy Loughran, the
champion, jabs out victory or James
J. Braddock, the challenger, punches
his way to triumph in the 15-round
title bout q week from tonight at the
Yankee Stadium.
The most interesting thing about the
175-pound division Is the history OF its
championship wanderingS over q route
that has taken the title from New
Yorks East Side to France, Senegal:
States. No class Of pugilism has peen
more democratic or cosmopolitan in its
choice of title holders.
Created first for no particular reason
other than the ballyhoo, the title was
| awarded" to Battling Levinsky, who
obligingly lost 1t to Georges Carpenter
at a time when the Frenchman was
being built up for the celebrated match
with Jack Dempsey. Georges claimed
he was double-crossed when he lost the
title to the singular Senegalese. Battling
Sikh. The Battler's nature must have
been even more trusting. for he risked
his crown in q bout with Mike Nc.
Tigue in Dublin, on st. Patrick'S day,
1928. Quite in the nature Of things,
Michael won and brought the cham
pionship back to America.
Holds On TO Title.
On q draw decision. Mike escaped
with his title under cover Of darkness
from Columbus. Ga. after o match with
the then celebrated Macon schoolboy,
| Young Stribling. The converted Ger
man. American wrestler, Pop En- Paul
Berlenbach, finally lifted the title from
the aging McTigue in 1925. The
Canadian sharpshooter, Jack Delaney,
succeeded Berlenbach. and after .
period Of dispute, following Delaney's
emerged as the recognized champion.
It may be less exciting. but the
| raddock-Loughran 60 Is reminiscent
/ OF the sensational MISUNDERSTANDING
| duels of a few years ago in that II
brings a slow-moving but hard puncher
into the ring against clever, fast
boxer.
Few men Of the weight pack any
harder wallop In their right hand than
Jersey Jimmy. Braddock keeps his
right cooked continually, but there Is
not much deception in his attack.
Loughran. a superlative boxer, has one
Of the best left jabs In pugilism. The
champion has little or no dynamite In
his right, but he Yields his left with
skillful and Furnishing effect.
The prospect, therefore, is that Il
any fireworks are furnished Braddock
must set them of.
So far in 1929 the fight game has
had a flock Of unusual episodes, but
these three now lead the contest for
first prize:
/. Suspension of Al Brown, bantam
weight star, by the Illinois boxing au-
thorities for failure to fulfill contract
to fight In Denmark.
2. Fine Of $4,000 against Ace Hud-
kins by the California boxing solons
for stalling, although the boxer was
cleared Of any charge Of sharp prac-
| tice."
! 3. Arrest in Havana Of Hilario Mar
tinez, Spanish welterweight, on charges
of assault preferred by his beaten OPP
ponent.

n Y EW YORK, July 11.-H gym
N form counts for anything, Wit
VI torio Compollo, the Argen-
1 tinian of Italian parentage,
bids fair to insert himself in
the heavyweight muddle and come out
with colors flying.
Compollo is the heavyweight the
late Tex Richard tried to induce to
come to these shores a year ago and
I'LL the void left by the desertion Of
his countryman, Luis Angel Firpo.
Though not as ponderous and fierce
looking as the shaggy Firpo, Compollo
does not lose anything in comparison
with his better known compatriot. W.T.
torio is IS years old, 6 feet z inches tall,
and makes the beam groan at 24o
pounds. A whale of man is Vittorio
Compollo.
But how will be make out with our
native battlers? For one thing, he has
to live down a knockout at the hands
of Monte E-Inn. Considering tho Ne
braska giants record against top fight
heavies, Mum was nothing much. But
the fact is sevident in the knockouts he
registered that whomever he hit stayed
put. One of Monte's rights landed on
Compollo's jaw. and the unfortunate one
lay in a hospital two weeks recovering
from the beating.
Now, against this Compollo has run
up a string Of impressive knockouts,
and, last but not least. scored a knock
out over Roberto Robert, who made good
use of his fists in this country last year
Chalk up a knockout over Ricardo
Bertazollo, the Italian giant, who won
over Jim Maloney on a foul recently.
and you have a fair idea of Compollo's
punching power.
Unlike other big men who lowered
over the 6-foot mark. Compollo Is a
fast man afoot and does not swing his
punches. He hits straight out and any
one who knows anything about boxing
will tell you that a straight puncher is
bound to land with tellir~ effect
Compollo makes his first start in this
country against Arthur de Kuh on the
18th If he is able to down de Kuh
without trouble, Compollo will get some
lucrative contracts.

There Was No Pump.

The inquiry made through this de-
partment as to whether or not the
Columbia crew, which won the last
Poughkeepsie regatta while four shells
sank, carried a pump Is answered by
Charles @. Sinclair, jr., secretary Column
bia rowing committee. He replies that
the Columbus crew carried no pump or
other unorthodox equipment. So that
seems to be that.
Another theory as to why the Column
bia shell was not Swamped in the
rough waters Is advanced by Column
bia comparatively old grad, Mr.. M. v.
O'Connell. It may be facetious. He
writes:

If Howard Burkett, Hollywood Sec
ond baseman, is only a small chip of
the old block he should wind up as a

His father. Jesse Burkett, was one
of the great hitters Of the games early
days as an outfielder for st. Louis
and Cleveland of the American League.
The old Burkett hit 400 or better in
1895, 90 and '99. 10

was under circumstances somewhat en-
barrassing to light-heavyweight cham
pion. Twice he was sitting on the
floor Of the ring In Madison Square
Garden, which was where Mr.. Leo
Lomski, an impolite visitor, had placed
him. But Mr. Loughran rose after the
second sitting and, busting the rosin
from the seat of his trunks with a
graceful gesture, managed to weather
the rough weather and get a decision.
Young Mr.. Braddock became the
logical light-heavyweight contender
Though 1t is not insisted that a
I light-heavyweight contender be logi-
CALI in his meeting with Mr.. Tuffy
Griffiths. Mr.. Griffiths arrived here
very well built up by press agents
TO the westward. They said he was
second Ketchel which should
have been what the boys call the
tip-off that he was more or less
homogeneous. nee
But the ballyhoo behind the tough
one was strong. It was inthnated that
he probably would knock his first OPP
ponent from the ring to the gallery
Consequently, 1t was hard to get vol
unteers. Mr.. Braddock finally stepped
forward and announced that he would
storm the trench.
A pleasant surprise was had by
1N1A DLdOOOCh. uISCOVcISo
that he could hit Mr. Grifiths. Then
he proceeded to hit him, and the
second Ketchel went down so hard
that he caused some compound frac-
lures of several of the scantlings
supporting the ring The customers
concluded that Tuffy was not so
tough, but that Mr.. James j. Brad
dock, who had not been suspected
of it, was reasonably tough. This
paved the way to getting some
work for Mr.. Loughran and giving
him a chance to change the dinner
coat for a set Of the conventional
fighting trunks.
Just how much 1t will profit Mr.
Loughran is problematical, as the
Schmeling- Uzcudun bout indicated a
slight depression In the caulifower
market. It might turn out that Mr..
Loughran might lose the title on fall
ing market, which would be too bad,
for they say that Mr.. Loughran is a
second Tunney and looks like rela-
tive.
one never can tell. 1t may be q
good championship fight, and Their
again it may not. But be that as II
may, it is the only championship night

It all along.
In his return to the ring Mr.. Demp-
sey appears under the direction OF his
seventh manager, Mr.. Will Duffy. the
same gentleman who won the bout with
Jack Sharkey with two shakes OF an
index finger. The foreflnger OF Mr.:
Duffy had more power In It than all OF
the Dempsey socks that night. While
the referee was about deciding to agree
20 the claim of Sharkey that Dempsey
had fouled him, Mr.. Duffy leaned into

out and Dempsey in.
1t Is not made clear that Mr..
Dempsey is returning because he
could not resist the call of the ring
and the scent of the rosin dust, or
because he can use the money. The
fact that Mr.. Duffy, making his
first announcement as manager,
says that Mr.. Dempsey will not be
persuaded to sign for less than a
$750,000 guaranty rather indicates
that the money might have some
thing to do with 1t.
It seems that Mr., Duffy booted one
in discussing the sordid financial de-
tails so soon. He should have announced
that Mr.. Dempsey was returning solely
for the purpose of preventing Schmeling
from taking the heavyweight cham
pionship away from the United States,
and that money was no object whatever.
But, of course, anybody will realize that
the motives of Mr.. Dempsey, always
quick to rush to the defense of his
country, are, as usual, purely patriotic
The $4,000 will be merely incidental.
