Washington, D. C.. June 7-The feathered American tourists who so south for the winter do not seek tanned skins. but they are as great gluttons for warmth and sunshine as the men and women who bask on Florida beaches during our nothern cold seakon.
 This has been found out by Err nest c. Holt. naturalist. who is heading a National Geographic so- ciety-Carnegie Museum exposition in Venezuela primarily to study bird life.

Its varying elevations afford a range of climates from that of the hot. semi-desert regions slightly above sea level. to the cool moist areas near the mountain tops. We'll up the mountain slopes are condi- tions comparable to those in the eastern United States.

REDS STAR PITCHER
BEGAN AS INFlELDER
by the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Babe Ruth, George Sisler and few
others came to the big leagues as pitch
ers only to reach the heights IN other
positions because OF their hitting aniliIy;
But Red Lucas of the Cincinnati
Reds has developed into capable
hurler after having made his major
league debut as an infielder-a second
baSeman.
It was back in 1924 that Lucas Joined
the Boston Braves. He was assigned
to the keystone sack. Came q day
when the Braves were short on pitchers
but long on infielders. So young Lucas
was sent to the hilltop. The red
head did such good job he never
returned to second base.
Lucas, of course, had done some
pitching before, but he still was a bit
unfamiliar with the fine points Of hurl-
ing, so he was shunted to Seattle Of the
Pacifica Coast circuit in 1925. Lucas
won nine games and lost five for Seat
tie. The following season he was back
in big time again. This time with
Cincinnati.
Red worked in 80 games in 1926,
coping 8 and losing 5. The next
year he scored 18 successes against
IL defeats. and last season chalked up
Is triumphs to 9 reverses.
This year Lucas work has been one
of the brightest spots in a rather drab
campaign for the Red Legs.
Were Lucas with strong club like
the Cubs or Pirates he probably would
rank with the premier gunners OF the
league.
One of Lucas biggest assets is his
ability to control the ball. Like Alex
snder and Jack Quinn, Red" can put
the sphere just where he wants 1t.

TIP ON BRADDOCK
HITS GREEKS HARD
San Francisco Message Costs
Gamblers Half Million as
Loughran Wins.
MALT LAKE CITY, Utah, July 20.

- ALT LAKE CITY, Utah. July 20.
"A hot tip that went wrong
cost Greek ring fans and their
- friends in the United States more
than a half million dollars when
Tommy Loughran defeated Jimmy
Braddock in their 15-round fight
Thursday night in New York.
The tip was sent out from San
Francisco and Los Angeles and judging
by reports in Butte, Salt Lake City and
elsewhere, the thousands piled up on
Braddock were unbelievable. In Butte
alone probably hundred thousand dol
lars was wagered, and today Loughran
followers are celebrating with great
glee.
The underground message to gam
blers came from Greek sporting men
in San Francisco and was sent into
every corner of the United States. The
Braddock bettorS were so positive that
many fans thought the fight must be
fixed
Apparently the only reason for the tip
was the supposedly poor showing made
by Loughran in Los Angeles recently,
and the report that his taking on of
weight had weakened him badly.

Going a Long Way.

WITH the customers the issue still
w is the heavyweight championship,
but with the New York State Boxing
Commission. which now seems to feel
that it wags all the other boxing COM
missions, the great issue before the
public is Mr. James j. JohnSton's 1914
per cent of Phil Scott, the horizontal
Briton. The ultimatum of the New
York State Boxing Commission is that
Sharkey until Mr.. Johnston gets his
1914 per cent of the gate receipts-if
any-for a Schmeling meeting.
Otherwise. If Schmeling and
Sharkey meet, they both will be
suspended by the New York State
Boxing Commission, and the pro-
moters, whoever they may be. also
will be suspended. whether they are
in Chicago or Kamchatka. This
looks like taking in a great deal of
territory.
In order to aid and abet Mr.. john
ston in extracting his 33ls per cent Of
Phil Scott. Mr.. Farley will go to Berlin
or send his ultimatum there. Then he
will send the news to Boston that
Sharkey is null and void. After that
he will do a little suspending around
Chicago or wherever the Schmeling-
Sharkey fight is held. If necessary, he
will call out the National Guard of New
York to put these things over. And
If Phil Scott does not come over to be
chiseled for Mr.. Johnston's 1914 per
cent, Mr.. Farley will get him, too, If
he has to chase him into the Tower
of London.
What with politics and racketeering,
the game in this State of New York.
where James j. Walker gave the cauli-
flower crop new lease of life, Is be-
coming very complicated and very silly.
And this, too, may be all for the best.
Mr.. Farley will wear out the customers
and there will be no more caulif1ower
industry, which will obviate the neceS-
sity of maintaining a boxing commits
sion and similar nuisances. The only
tragedy will be the loss Of Mr.. john
stonS percentage In the shuttle.

FIVE PUT-0UTS CAUSED
IN TWO TIMES AT BAT

Hitting into q pair of double plays in
Is many times at bat isn't such an I'M
common feat IN the major Leagues.
But it remained for Bill Scarritt OF the
Red Sox to go one better in a recent
game in Detroit.
In the seventh inning Scarritt came
to bat with two on and none out. he
raurEs the ball on the nose but lined
1t directly into the hands of Josh Bill
ings, who was pitching. "A triple play
resulted, the first one chalked up by
a Detroit team since Johnny Neun
pulled his famous one q couple Of years
Two innings later young Scarritt
again came to bat. This time he found
one mate on base and one down. he
lined to Alexander, who promptly
touched first for double play.
Thus in two consecutive times at pat
Scarritt was the cause Of five putouts.
With all of Scarritt's bad luck, the

CRISIS IS AHEAD
FOR JOE DUNDEE
Must Show Well in Battle
With Fields to Regain
Lost Prestige.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Joe Dundee will have a fine oppor-
tunity to do something for himself
when he meets Jackie Fields in Detroit
next Thursday.
BY showing impressively against the
California scrapper, Dundee probably
could win back many Of the critics and
fistic followers who have been casting
thorns In his path since he won the
welterweight championship two years
ago.
1t has been a hard two years for Joe
He has been thrown out of the ring
twice for not fighting, suspended twice
reprimanded by the National Boxing
Association and beaten four times
twice by knockouts, by second-raters.
Dundee won the title from Pete Latzo
in a 15-round decision bout in New
York, June 3, 1927. He was rated as a
fighting champion then and became
such good attraction that ambitious
Los Angeles promoters promised him
100000 to fight Ace Hudkins. When
bell time came the night Of the bout
the coast fight moguls had raised just
$23, 900 of the promised 100000.
Joe refused to fight such a tough foe
as Hudkins for a shrunken purse. He
was given a blanket suspension, but was
reinstated five months later.
Dundee's most disappointing perform
anceS came last Winter when he
dropped two 10-round decisions to Al
Mello Of Boston.
The title was not involved in either
bout.
The Baltimore battler can at least
get started on his way back into the
good graces of the boxing world by
whipping Fields, and 1t would be well
for Joe to start winning against Jackie,
for after the coast boxer comes Jimmy
McLarnin and Fighting Jimmy will be

This we hear from The Stars corre-
spondent at Culpeper Va:
indications are that this historic
town will have one Of the largest and
most spirited contests in the State. It
has aroused more general interest than
any event of any sort held here IN
many q moon. The entries are far
from being confined to folk who usu-
ally take part in sporting eventS.l
THE growing list Of entrants, now In
the hands of Chairman j. C. Albright,
which was headed by the name Of DR..
H. B. Lacey, now contains bank presi-
dents, editors of newspapers, the prin-
cipal of the high school, q professor of
a well known university, now home for
a vacation; many other leaders in pro-
fessional and business life, and Capt.
M. H. Calfee, veteran Of the Civil and
Spanish American Wars, who can twiri
with the best Of them.
Interest Is at keen pitch not only In
this city, but throughout the county.
Gasoline alley" selected at first as
the place Of play, has been discarded
in favor Of a location on Main street,
where excellent turf and shade trees
will form an attractive setting for the
game"
Horseshoe pitching is on the boom
sure enough at Chesterbrook In Fair
fax County. Chesterbrook makes no
boasts about the size Of its population,
but so far has turned in 81 entries to
Chairman Tilman Grimes. They fol-
low: Richard Saunders, Harry Turley,

ut took Purcellville some time to get
started. but It's warming up now to the
tournament" writes The Stars cor
respondent, Grace Brooks Popkins. En-
tries have been coming in fast during
the last day or two. and now that the
closing date has been extended large
number is expected to sign. j..
They are having a lot Of fun out OF
it, too. The weight of the regulation
shoe has stiffened the muscles some
what, but nobody seems to mind. Others
standing around look with longing
eyes at the tossers, and just wish they
were in the game And they'll get there,
too. before the entries close.
Robert Carruthers, chairman, Is
pitching a mean shoe himself. A court
has been laid out on the lot back Of the
post office, which Is convenient to every

The referee warned him. but De Kuf
insisted, whereupon the referee stopped
the bout on the theory that De Cookot
wanted to get back into the clock before
he was injured permanently. That the
Gyrating Giraffe would have finished
him was quite different. A couple Of
snaky rights that landed over the heart
of De Kuh took all the spirit of combat
out Of the man from the clock.
Some apprehension was felt at the
ringsi6e because the Boxing Com
sion had neglected to supply der
ricks to provide against the altitu-
dinous Giraffe of the Andes being
smitten and tumbling out among
the customers. But the apprehen-
sion subsidized when 1t became very
apparent that If there was any fall
ing to be done in this tournament OF
the Tumble Toms, it would not be
done by Senior Campolo. De Kuh
has fallen into my typewriter on
previous occasions and no perma-
nent damage resulted.
. The Gyrating Giraffe is tall ano
rangy. as advertised. There is no bulk
to him, as there was to Luis Angel
Firpo. He looks like a skeleton peak
of stage Andes. but he has long
and useful right which is geared to lane

There is no scowl on the face oil
the Giraffe. The expression is as blank
as that painted on the faces of one OF
Mr.. RinglingS clowns. He tried to grow
some ferocity into the face in the shape
of stubble. but there Is no use in wrap
ping lions skin over a giraffe. The
legs betray the animal.
1t was unfortunate for Signor UNI
berto Fugazy that De Cookoo took tina,
way of getting back into his clock. The
of the Gyrating Giraffe, not that Cam
polo is going to move with any rapidity
in the direction of heavyweight con-
leadership, but he was funny while II
lasted-funny and quite effective, sc
far as battlers of the De Kuh type are
concerned.
They have compared the Giraffe
to jess Willard. He is not at all like
the Kansas horse trader. willard
did have some muscles, especially
around the abdomen, where they
bulged until one would have Sus-
pected that they were rolls of fat
If willard had not solen1ly declared
that they were muscles. There is
not an ounce Of lard anywhere on
the Gyrating Giraffe, unless it Is in
side his head.
AS long as there is no heavyweight
champion whatever. it seems quite all
right that they should make this heavy
weight championship source Of limo.

Campolo will help this idea along
There is only one thing to cap the jest
ing. and that would be to hold Mr.
James J. Farley's joke bout, the
schmeling-scott thing.
Only One Bout.
OF course, there is only one bout
~ that interests the customers of the
country, and I do not know just how
much interest there Is in this one. II
