GODFREY HEADS|
EASTER CARD, !
;%

The most talked-about colored
sports figure since the days of
Jack Johnson will make Easter
Monday something besides an
occasion to strew molten eggs
over the Presidents backyard,
when George Godfrey appears at
the Strand Theater on April 6,
as headliner of a five-card wrest-
ling bill. His opponent will be
Ivan Michaeloff, 225-pound Rus
sian Cossack who is bringing
everything but his sabre to the
cause.
Godfrey, giant negro fistman,
who has only recently turned to
wrestling, meets a typical Russian
bear in Michaeloff in the feature
final. Two Washington boys,
Dutch Green and Archie Parker,
against separate opponents, will
also be on the card which will
be detailed later.
Godfrey has been wrestling
only a few weeks and, under the
tutelage Of DIR. Charles Hendri.
quez, Of Spain, has made seven
league strides in his avOcatiOn.
His fistic record is an open
book to even the cursory followers
OF boxing. His present condition
and outlook in the newer field
can be attested by many Wash
ingtonianS who have seen him re-
Gently under the tutelage of Baron
Jimmy Dougherty at Leiperville
and Ridley Park.
Godfrey almost annihilated
Tommy Draak, who used to
wrestle here, in Jersey City last
week, and on Monday night of
this week disposed of Andy Zaha-
rolf, two falls in less than 1S min
utes.
To date Michaeloff is consid-
cred the toughest proposition Big
Gawge has had designs upon since
he left the fairly barren fields of
fistiana.

FREEMAN SHOW
READY To GO

Promoter Joe Freeman was all
smiles today as he thought about
his second wrestling program of
the indoor season at the Strand
Theater tomorrow, beginning at
$50 o'clock.
"It's going to be a great
show. Also there's going to be
a nice crowd on hand. And
why shouldn't there be? /
certainly have tried to gather
together a program Of worth.
And 1 think 1 have"
Joe, has Jack Sherry and Boris
Demitroff down as the feature
attraction. Co-headliners, and
there are two, list bouts between
Pat McGill against Andy Brown
and George Vassell and Rex
Smith.
The five-match card is balanced
by two out of the ordinary pre-
liminaries which will bring Pete
Dallas and Cyclone Smith to-
gether in one and Archie Parker
and Tony Ricco in the ether.

NONE POSTED
CASH FOR
MATCH
Ry JACK DEMPSEY

OF all the men who were active
during my fighting years, the
one I wanted to mix with most
of all was Harry Wills. Yet the
tooters and shouters for the col
ored heavyweight so cleverly
jockeyed facts that it always was
made to appear that I was duck
ing Harry.
If Wills and I ever had gone
to battle against each other, 1t
would have meant big money.
There always was a demand for
such a fight. A certain SYM
pathy had been created for
Harry; he was the under dog"
denied his shot at the title and
all that.
I have always had an idea
that If Wills and 1 had met
somewhere between 1923 and
1926 when the ballyhOO for
Wills was at its height, no
arena would have been too
large to house the crowd.
Tex Rickard, however, would
not handle such q fistic show.
There were many other promo
tional offers; but they just evap-
Grated when asked that a bond
be posted to guarantee the prom
ised payments to me.
During my best days I never
had much trouble with big men
afflicted with a bit of slownesS.
Wills was that. He was one Of
these giants who never was really
fast. Nor was he regarded as ex-
tremely scientific or a heavy hit
ter.
Men like that weren't hard
for me to "take." / cannot ever
think that Wills was any diff
ferent. 1 had the edge on him
in speed; could hit harder
and I figured I could take it
better than Wills.
So Wills never sized up to me
as anybody who was a real men
ace. I felt I could beat him and
get $5O0,0O0 to $1,000,000 for the
Job, but nobody ever showed up
who actually would put the cash
on the line. That was my bad
luck.

.FURORE Of
PAST ERA

Take the word Of Johnny
Evers, baseball players of today
have it mighty soft compared to:
Is years ago when he was the
spark plug" of that immortal
Chicago Cubs combination, "Tink-
er-to- o-Evers-to-C Chance"
'What a cinch they have
nowadays" said Johnny, shak-
ing his head, reflectively. "And
look at the dough they get. i,
To-day everything is hunky

what a difference from the
old days. Why, do you know,
when / used to play with the
Cubs we had to take a bath
with the cows and the pigs In
that old West Side Ball Park in
Chicago. No needle shower "
baths for us in those days.
"And if 1 do say it myself,
we played as good ball-if not
better-than they do today.
We played more scientific ball,
at any rate" .s
Evers did not display any Bit
terness when he compared the
game today with his time. Rather
there was note Of surprise in
his conversation because OF the
fact he does not believe the play
ers now in the major leagues ap-.
preciate the easy comforts they
enjoy in these times and the
substantial salaries they receive.
Scrappy Player in Time
Evers used to be a slim, ner:
vous, crabby little player, fuu OF
the old fight, when he was In his
prime. The National League
never had a scrappier player ana
he can be pardqned for showing
impatience at the "easy comeS
easy 60" attitude Of some OF the
players of today. Evers, now g,
middle-aged man, is still well pre-
served. He is heavier, OF course.

He can still get around the d1ar

He continues: .
"Tt used to be an honor to
break into the big leagues.
Nowadays, however, a lot OF
fellows who are signed up take
it as a matter of course. They
don't seem to feel the pride In
our uniforms that we used 20
in the old days. Today they

Nowadays, it seems, you

is just what a lot Of fellows In

care whether they are in the
lineup or not. They'd have to
keep me out of the lineup.
That's the way we all used to
be-fighterS for our place on
the team"
Evers declares the players
years ago used to play "rougher"
game. Once he ran on to third
base in a game after he had
broken his leg sliding into second.
He asks an inspection Of any old
ball players hands and see how
knarled and mis-shapen they are

he asserted, was particularly true
