That Miami Fight

That fight in Miami tonight
twixt the Varicosed Venetian
and the Boston Fish Monger is
one of the strangest prospects
the degenerated business OF
fistiana has had to answer for
in a long, long time. Possibly
that is why we mention it last.
Here's the tip off to the
whole business-Marty Gal
lagher is meeting Make Rosen-
bloom in the semi-final. Laugh
that one off!
Then consider another of the
preliminaries-Jimmy Braddock
and. Jack Roper, who did his
first fighting in the civil war,
if the record books are right.
Outside of those queer condi-
tions, ponder the alleged in
jury to the tenth rib of Car
nera, about 10 days ago. What
was that, an effort to cancel
the bout because Jim MalCney
wouldn't tank it or because the
advance sale didn't resemble
the soldiers lining up for their
bonus loan?
Then to top off those bad
omens it has rained and rained
and rained in Florida, causing
those who could to leave the
State and those who might have
drifted in to stay away.
Our sympathies go out to
Frank Bruen the promoter, a
fine fellow, a smart cne with
it and we thought too smart to
ever get himself into the posi-
ton of holding the bag for
such a poor show as he finds
On his hands tonight.
If Camera doesn't win, they
all ought to have their heads
examined, for victory to Maloney
wouldn't be worth but a few
thousand dollars to him where
as a second loss by Camera to
Maloney would cost MIN a mil
lion in bouts he'll never get.

a growth of ITS pounds and
five feet 10 inches height and

Last year elise was traded to
the Phils by Brooklyn and this

linian in the Winter Haven, Fla.
camp of the Philadelphia Ma
tionals, ready to show Manager
Burton Shotton he's in the big
league to stick.
What we wanted most par
ticularly to tell you about
Young Dudley is that he has not
forgotten the friendly interest
taken in him by Walter john
son who was somewhere near
his prime when elise had his
trial here in 1923, and only this
week down in Winter Haven
Dudley was singing the praise
of the Kansas Cyclone and his
willingness to help the newcom-
ers into the fold of the Wash

The Maryland University bas-

Southern Conference champion
ship, we're back on familiar soil
today and what a reception they
were rendered this morning in a
mammoth student celebration on
the college campus.
Henry Whiting, president Of
the student government body,
praised the players and Coaches
Shipley and Faber. Raymond A.

Sity, also spoke. Coaches Shipley
and Faber gave short speeches in
which they took occasion to extol
the fine spirit of the players.
Every individual of the team
as well as the coaches, was
given q rOusing cheer while
several of the players were
called upon for few words.
The Maryland squad reached
the Union Station here early this
morning and was met by dele
gates of the student government
body. H. c. "Curley" Byrd,
Maryland's athletic director, was
among those at the station. Cheer
ing the players as they alighted
were several hundred students and
alumni.
The players were then taken
to College Park where they were
the breakfast guests of President
Pearson. There will be no gen
eral holiday as students were
excused only from the 800 a. m.
class in order to pay honor to
their conquering basketball heroes.

wrestlers who give Londos the
most trouble.
LOndOS Learns Fast
It was only few years ago
that fans pitied the Little Greek
God" because he was a pygmy
alongside of such giants as Lewis,
the zbyszko brothers, Stecher,
Craddock and others. He took
his beatings, but the midget
demon was learning fast.
He came to understand that
speed and condition could sub
due brute strength and weight
and he worked on this idea.
He didn't put on beef-that
wasn't his plan. He gave atten-
tion to his legs, did a lot of
road work and trained long and
carefully.
Then, he went after the wrest-
ling giants and cut them all down
to his own size. None could
match wits with this daring
foeman who leaped upon them
with all the fierceness of blood
thirsty animal. There we're none
who could stop the wild stampede
of the tiny Greek as he flattened
the big leviathans.
