Scott was up in six beats of the
referees arms and was plainly in
difficulty either from a foul OF
from normal ring punishment.
But the third, which was
interrupted by a minute and
five seconds wherein Scott
occupied his own stool while
his manager was SquaWking
with the referee, saw SCOTS
complete physical collapse as
the result of a series of hard
lefts to the body and the
ultimate awarding of the
fight to the Boston COB.
The whole main bout was a
discouraging, dissatisfying mud
died ring epic which will un
doubtedly develop as much wran
Cling as has the famous Chicago
long count. That Referee Louis
Magnolia was confused is proven
in the fact that when he mo
tloned Johnston IN the ring to
come and carry Scott out he
sent Sharkey to his own corner,
instead of to neutral corner where
fighter should be sent while
his victim is being counted over
Certainly disabled fighter de
serves count-unless, indeed, il
is in the referees mind he is
fouled, in which case Sharkey
should have been disqualified and
sent to his own, not a neutral
corner, and that is what hap
pened.
Meanwhile we thought Johnny
Risko should have gotten the nod
over Victorio Campolo if for his
aggressiveness alone. Tommy
Loughran is too fat and has
gone back miles since he was a
] 'ht-heavy. His opponent. Pierre
Charles. is sturdy, incoming
fighter and has lots of fighting
heart. Jim Maloney is the same
impassionate fighter and seemed
out to only draw a nights pay
and so 1t goes.

BEGIN TOURNEY

UNIVERSITY, Va, Feb. 28.-
Twelve teams entered the fourth
annual southern conference box
ing tournament which starts at
the University of Virginia today.
1t promises to be the greatest
collegiate ring meeting ever held
in the South.
Clemson, Duke, Florida,
Georgia, Louisiana State, North
Carolina, Sewanee, Tulane, Vir-
ginia, Virginia Military Institute,
Virginia Polytechnic Institute
and Washington and Lee have
all entered full teams of seven
men.
Seventy-Seven bouts will be
required to decide individual
and team championships.
The semi-final matches are
scheduled for Saturday night
and after two days of rest
the team and individual
championships will be de-
cided Monday night.
North Carolina, champio n
since 1928, is favorite to de
fend the title, but their hold on
the ring crown is being menaced
by the Florida team, which
handed them their only defeats
and by Tulane, the only crew of
boxers that has not had re-
verse all season.

REPORTSAT
BILOXI
BY BOB THAYER

BILOXI, Miss, Feb. 28.-Hos-
pitable Biloxi has offered Goose"
Goslin, slugging outfielder of the
Washington Griffmen, an opportu-
nifty to regain some of the monies
sliced off his 1880 contract. That
is If the Goose" signs up and
proves equal to the tasks.
When Washington clubs bat
terymen took the field for their
first workout at the Biloxi plant
yesterday the most striking feat
ure offered was the dimensions Of
the diamond.
Washingtonians who point with
pride to the distant right field
fence at the Griffith Stadium, will
be interested to know that the
same wall here is 485 feet removed,
from the home plate. Virtually
the same distance away is the sun
field barrier. while something like
900 feet separates batSmen from
the centerfield fence.
The rub comes here. Pub
lic-spirited business men with
sporting tendencies, have Of !
fered $1O0 to the hitsman
clearing the park while any
player bouncing a fly ball off
the fence gets $50.
Their offer, of two years stand
ing, has yet to find taker.
Melvin OFT, hard-clouting out
fielder. caromed a drive off the
right-field barrier on the first
bounce two years ago. That
stands out as the most note
worthy achievement so far.
Goslin, who puts plenty Of
power behind his line drives,
might, with the wind in his path,
plant several of these money
blows into the proper spot or
spots. But, according to the ma
tives, it will take a mighty stiff
wind.
Surrounded by ideal facilities
and a big league playing field,
the Griffmen this morning were
well fortified to sail into their
second days practice, IA strong.
Eleven pitchers and three
catchers now make up the
roster. Pitcher Herbert Pyle,
Chattanooga Lookout rookie
who reported yesterday, was
newcomer scheduled to
work out.
Few complaints were uttered
by players participating in yes
terday's brisk drill. If there
were any sore muscles, aching
joints the sufferers remained
silent.
Well pleased with opening day
results, Manager Walter johnson
has officially set GAS o'clock as
the starting time for morning
practices hereafter. Two-hour
sessions have been ordered and
pressure will be increased with
the passing of time.
Volley ball is being stressed
most as an exerciser. This game
not only develops the athletes
physically, but also lends COM
petitive value to the routine.
Captains Fred Marberry and
Harold Ruel, erstwhile battery
mates, have arranged a series OF
games to be presented in big
league style. The only complaint
uttered as yet has been advanced
by Assistant Trainer Frank Bax-
Represented referee-whose de-
cisions were treated violently yes
terdaY.

DuI GOudy 1lluS1Ou udQ gone
with the night, and only realism
remained, and so William F..
Carey, the man who had pulled
the strings that made these pup
pets dance, sat in his office here
and offered the StrangeSt post
mortem that ever these repor-
torial ears have heard. He said
that the Sharkey-Scott fight had
been promoted as a moral obIi-
CATION to boxing.
1t had been promoted, he
added, in the face of what had
seemed to be certain loss, and
that the Madison Square Garden
Corporation had gone out of its
way to increase this apparent ele-
ment of certainty by arranging
$4,000 worth of preliminary
bouts, And when I asked him
why this was done, he told me
that the corporation had recog-
nized a moral obligation that was
bigger than money.
1--WE knew from the first
that we were promoting some
thing that would lose us
money, or at least make us
very little" he said.
Now those preliminary bouts"
said he, as though the interval
had been 10 seconds, instead of
as many minutes. I'VE put that
all-Star show on, not with the
idea of making money, as so many
have thought. AS a matter of
fact, we couldn't make money out
of the preliminaries because
every dollar they drew in we split
with Sharkey and Scott. We put
them on because we feared the
top bout wasn't a good one and
didn't want people going all the
way to Miami, Fla, without as
suring them of a real evening
of boxing"
With this, the interview was
The Washington times., 1930-02-28

Much of the play-boy stuff
formerly evidenced in training
camp has disappeared. A busi-
ness-like bearing characterized the
first workout staged here yester-
day.
Given a chance to earn good
money if they deliver, those
Washington club members in
volved promised to come back
stronger than ever.
This does not mean that
the desired spirit is lacking.
If anything, yesterdays prac-
tice brought out more pepper
and hustle than ever before.
But the athletes left the i'm
preston that they were work
ing-nOt playing.
Most conspicuous was the en-
terprising manner of the vet
erans-several of whom were hit
by the bonus idea. And, inspired
by the tactics of their idols, the
rockies joined whole heartedly
into the spirit of the thing.
Putting vim and vigor behind
every exercise offered, Pitchers
Irving Hadley and Sad Sam Jones
did all that was asked of them
and more too.
Jones, who in past years has
had difficulty in agreeing to
terms, was among the first in
uniform, while Hadley worked
overtime and had to be chased
to the showers by Trainer Martin.
Catcher Muddy Ruel, Pitcher
Ad LiSka and several others were
likewise cautioned by Martin for
oVer-zealousneSs.
This attitude cannot help but
have an important bearing on the
fortunes of the 1890 Griffs, and,
it might be added, q favorable
one.
Muddy Ruel'S chances Of re-
gaining the first-string backStop-
ping job formerly assigned mm
are nlgnly favorable.
A year ago, President Clark C.
Griffith insists, Ruel lacked bat
ting power, and for that reason.
more than anything else, he was
ditched in favor of Benny Tate
and Roy Spencer.
This past winter the little
veteran spent much time building
up. AS a result he has added
several hardened pounds to his
physique.
In his present shape Ruel
holds a decided edge over
Spencer and Tate. Whereas
the first mentioned are
switched against right and
left handlers Muddy, when
right, hits them all.
Incidentally, Tate and Spencer
must either come to terms shortly
or face indefinite SupenSion.
President Griffith has intimated
that a show down is in the
offing.
Biloxi may be made a per-
manent early spring training
base for the Griffmen. Pleased
with Accommodations here, Grif-
fifth is hopeful that some other
big league club will locate at
Gulfport, Miss, IA miles distant
next year.
The Griffs will play but two
games here this spring. The
New Orleans PelicanS and
Louisville Colonels are to fur
nish the opposition. Efforts to
land a third game have failed.

The two blows which
landed on Scott, when he
crumpIed up and slid to the
floor on two different occa,
sions i'm the third, were good
and hard solid left pokes to
the bread basket and a little
to the right Of dead center,
and make no mistake about
that.
