Terris' jaw and the New Yorker went
down and out. 1t was his third knock
out defeat in less than q year.
Long one Of the leading contenders
for the 135-pound crown, ferris began
to pass his peak late in 1927. Up to
that time he had placed his chief re-
lance on dazzling speed of foot and
hand. His speed began to fail and
he tried to make up for it by developing
a knockout punch--something he never
had needed in his best days. After
knocking out Ruby Goldstein In a round
in June OF 1927, he won a decision
over Phil McGraw. the Detroit florist,
In August. but only after he had been
Hoored three times in the first round.
IN his next start, in September Of 1927,
ne was beaten by Hilario Martinez, 60
ing down for three counts of nine in
the second round.
Then followed two slam bang battles
with McGraw. The first he lost on a
ioul and the second he won by decision.
BY this time virtually all of the
marvellous speed and boxing skill that
made him famous had disappeared.
In February OF 1928 he was matched
with Jimmy McLarnin and the Pacific
Coast slugger knocked him out in a
single round. After a long lay-off
ferris engaged Ray Miller, the left-hook
artist. and the Chicagoan also knocked
him out in round.
Since then he has won two bouts
but his showing in both was unsatis-
factory. He beat McGraw on a foul
last September and edged out a close
decision over Jackie Pilkington early
this month";

u q
league competition as Sam Cor
coran of West Washington Baptist team
of Georgetown Church League did in
making his debut in B. Y. p. u. League
at King Pin No. !.
Corcoran has been q consistent per-
former in Georgetown Church League
for some time. He had done nothing
sensational In matches in that league.
He was good enough. however. to be
drafted by the West Washington Bap-
fist team Of B. Y. P. u. He was ex-
pected to add strength to the team, but
little did his mates expect that he per-
/ sonally would be responsible for setting
four new league records In the FIRST
match In which he engaged.
That Is exactly what he did. His
first game Melted i78 pins, just IL short
of the league record for the District
His first set totaled 400 even. Both OF
these counts go in the books as new In
dividual league records.
! His 178 game enabled his team to set
a new game record with 6i6 total
His sensational start stirred his mates to
add $50 and 500 counts for new league
set record of 1877.
In upsetting l78 pins in his first
game, Corcoran spared in the first box
| picked up 8 and collected 10 for the
second box. He then started a string
of marks through the remaining boxes
including two strikes. He had no double.

BIG NAVY GRIDMEN
WILL TRY LACROSSE

ANNAPOLIS, January 20. The
Naval Academy lacrosse squad for the
coming season will be strengthened by
O large number of the strongest mem
bers Of the foot ball squad.
The lacrosse squad will receive great
benefit from these athletic youths, and
1t also is expected that the lacrosse
work will be fine preparation for foot
ball next Fall.
Some of the foot ball men already
have played lacrosse, either with the
varsity or plehe squad, but the majority
will take up the game for the first time
this Spring.
Parish, captain of the lacrosse team,
who Is Q foot ball back; Spring and
Clair Miller, also backs, and Haven, a
lineman, were members of the lacrosse
squad last year. Castree, foot ball
back, and Crane, an end, played with
the plebe twelve.
Among the gridders who will take up
the game of lacrosse are Bowstrom, the
big punting tackle: Woerner and Swan,
guards; Moret and Beans. ends; Gan
non, back. and Highes. center.
Most Of the big men in the foot ball
group will be trained as defense" play
ers, but some Of the big fellows who
are also fast may be tried on the at
tack. For instance, Bowstrom and
Woerner, weighing over 100 pounds
apiece, are sufficiently fast and active
for an attack position.

FRANCIS, MAESTRO BOX
FOR GO AT LA BARBA
BY FAIR PLAY,

LOS ANGELES, January 29.-Kid
Francis of Italy. ranking contender for
the bantamweight title and Earl Mas
tro Of Chicago will collide in a 10-round
fracas at Jack Doyles Olympic Club
this evening. The battle will be recog-
nizcd by the local boxing solons as an
elimination contest, the winner to meet
F1del La Barba for the world title.
La Barba's victory over Bushy Ora
ham, the unofficial champion, centers
public interest in the former fyweight
champions claim to the 1l8-pound title.
Francis made the trip to the Coast for
the ostensible purpose of getting a
match with La Barba, SO that he, in the
event Of being victorious, would be
acknowledged champion. The kid has
won all four bouts he has taken part in
since arriving here. Francis is q great
favorite with the fans because of his
slam-bang tactics.
Tackling Earl MAESTRO, who gave La
Barba hectic setto over the 1O-round
route, means that Francis is taking a
serious chance of being pushed out of
the way and making way for the little
Chicagoan.
Matching the winner against Fidel
La Barba will undoubtedly make the
greatest bantamweight contest on the
Coast since Kid Williams lifted the title
from Johnny Coulon.
