In short Griffith, whose years in
baseball have been many, believes
that a general shake.up will be
necessary and to the best interests
Of all concerned but until that time
he wants. and will demand, plenty
Of hustle from the players who have
fallen so far below the preseason
standard set for them by baseball
writer's and authorities as well.
And, considering that the majority
OF the disciples are paid annually
in good round figures the general
public may we'll join In q timely
chorus entitled why not.
The Washington times., 1929-07-15

The club on the whole, he be-
IieveS, h much better than 1t
! has proved itself to be on the
playing field but since results
pay the biggest dividends he is
seeking no alibf In that respect.
The Washington times., 1929-07-15

Since a Southern Association
ruling blocked the deal. however,
Griffith was instructed by the
commissioner to place Giard ON
his player list and ask waivers
before disposing Of him.

VI7TORIO CANPQLO
 VICTOR 0N FOUL
ArSentine'S Gigantic HeaVy- weight Has No Chance to Show

1 New York, July IS tP}--Ncry little 1 information concerning the fighting
 ability ot Vlttorio Campolo. ArEen- i tina's gigantic heavyweight, caruc i 0ut of his North American debut Campolo was in action just seven minutes 21 seconds aGa.nst Arthur
 Dekuh, Italian American boxer, in q battle at Ebbets Field last nigth, winning on d ioul halfway through
 the third round.
 One thing proved was that the Ar.
 genuine has all the necessary Sualit-
 cations as to size. Dc Kuh is no smal, heavyweight but he was not in the same class with Campolo who car | i'icS 226 pounds of solid beef on his l 6 foot ' inch frame. And it was that | bulk that gave the Argentine the
 margin during the abbreviated bout
 De Kuh had difficulty getting past
 his rivals long failing arms and
 could not iand effectively when he
 did. His stort choppy blows had lit;la effect on the huge Campolo.
 In the short time he fought, Cam 1 polo showed little in the offensive 1 line except a right hand wallop to 1 the heart which did considerable i amount of damage. His straight body blows apparently hurt De Kuh sev- i 'eral times, the Argentine got no re suits with his shots at the head. | De Kuh was ineffective all the way i through and began hitting low al
 most as soon as he switched his at i tack to the body in the second round. | He was warned twice for hitting iow | in this frame and once more in the third before fourth blow sank IT. 'oul territory and brought about his disqualification.

.L0UGHRAN MEETS
 BRADD0CK TONIGHT
Light Heavyweight Title at
 Stake in Yankee Stadium

New York, July IS (P}-The light heavyweight championship falls some 20-odd pounds per man and many thousand dollars short Of being as big as the heavyweight tltle but today it looks big enough to James J. Braddock of New Jersey,
 Jersey Jimmy" has risen in a brief boxing career to the post of challenger for the 175-pound crown, won by Tommy Loughran and to- night he pits his right hand wallop that has brought him to the top over the battered forms of such scrappcrs as Tuffy Griffiths and Jimmy Stat tcry, against the boxing skill of the champion
 The fight is being staged in the Yankee Stadium, biggest of New York's open air arenas, and is for l., rounds.
 The eternal question of the tistic world-whethe boxer is better than a puncher. is the question to b" considered tonight. Loughran is the superlative boxer but his hitting
 
 nraddock has a death dealing right hand, and little else.
 All of Jmmie's fame has come from tha; right It lifted him to the spotlight when he knocked out the highly louted Fluffy Griffith in two rounds. Ii kept him there with knOckouts at the expense of Pete I,atzo, who came out of his fray with the young Jerseyman bearing broken jaw. and Jimmy Slattery. Loughran, however, heretofore has avoided many damaging punches, though none so hard as Braddock'S. He has taken others and come back 10 tap out a victory as the hard hitting Leo Lomski can testify Leo had the champion on the floor twice in the first round but lost the de cision.
 The remaining question concerns the champions difficulty in making the 175-pound weight limit Lough- ran has been having some difficulty in getting down to the weight al though there is little doubt that he will weigh in under the limit thls afternoon. If ho has not lost too much speed and strength in training down, Loushran is expected to just = fly the opinion that has made him to favoritc. Otherwise Brad , dock is expected to get his punch over successfully.
