 The Senators Braves contest was featured by the return to form of Martin Lavenik, who shot PIP and 21l in the last two games after starting off poorly, to register an average of 191. Andrews, Sena- tor, and Duncan, Cardinal, deliv- cred their best marks of the sea- son, 211 and 213 respectively.

In the first place the boys didn | think Sharkey and Camera were actually going to fight. Secondly they didn't seem to care whether they did or not And finally, it fig ured to be one of the biggest Hops of a bad season for the heavy weights.
 To everybody's astonishment, it turned out to be a spectacular bat tie, one of the most exciting in years and a financial success.
 Sharkey did everyt hing but knock out the Italian juggernaut. There seems no way to figure the cratic career of the Boston sailor. Only few weeks after his miser- able performance against 165- pound Mickey Walker, Sharkey gave a great exhibition in battering the 261 pound Camera. He again look ed like the fighter who almost knocked out Jack Dempsey ill a pair of rounds.
 Perhaps it was because he soon found out Camera could not punch at all with his right hand and pos sessed only a club-like left jab as an offensive weapon.
 Primo never may be hitter, in the sense of packing punch even remotely commensurate with his size, but there can be no question now about his gameness.
 He was floored, cut and badly battered, but he was still shuffling his big dogs around and still mak- ing feeble gestures at the finish.
 Rinkwork is matter of training with Camera. So far as possible, he remembers what he has been told, follows the routine laid down for him. When something unexpected happens, such as a crack on the chin that sends him to the floor, he has no immediate resource. In the floundering process thereafter

Those Violets and Bulldogs
 It's a few weeks off but so far as the Atlantic seaboard is con- cerned, one of the great football battles of the season is likely to take place when Georgia's bulldogs meet New York University's Vio- lets in the Yankee Stadium, No vember 2.
 Not even the worlds series could obscure the smashing early prog ress of these two elevens. They have already had several stirring engagements, but this should be the best of the lot, especially if each moves into action at the time with a clean slate.
