Thompson To Fight
Freeman For Title

CLEVELAND. O.--Tommy Free
man. welterweight champion, and
Young Jack Thompson, former title
holder, signed here Thursday for a
fifteen round bout to be fought in
Cleveland, April ID, subject to APP
proval of the boxing commission.
The boxing commission, which
voted today that in future bouts the
winner will be picked by two judges
with the referee, will consider ap-
proval of the title bout Thursday.
Backers of Thompson are banking
on the Coast rineman to regain his
title which went to this same Free
man in a fluke occasional contest.
The latter fight will be held in the
same ring where Thompson lost his
title
Thompson has been inactive for
the past several months which has
meant considerable to the battler
who was about worn out from over
work. He has done little work since
coming home several months ago.
On the other hand freeman has
been fighting regularly, never with
his title at stake as it will be in
this bout, but at catch weights. Last
Sunday night in Mexico City Free
man scored a win over Joe Gaona,
one of Mexico's leading candidates
for welterweight honors.

Godfrey Asks
Chance For Title

LAREDO, Texas.-Big Geor e
Godfrey, Pennsylvania heavyweight.
Is planning to return to New York
early this month and go before the
commission and demand a chance
at the title. 81 don't think it fair that
| should be given the run around"
Godfrey is reported to have added in
comment.
In his first fight of any impor-
lance since his questionable loss to
Primo Camera, Italian man-moun-
tain, Godfrey, the Shadow of Leip-
erville, stopped Ricardo Rossel,
Spanish heavyweight champion in
the opening round of a scheduled
twenty-round bout here Monday.
Rossel, who had been conducting
a very successful campaign in South
America and Mexico, failed to land
a telling blow on the one-time I'M
official champion of the world. He
stood groggy and punch-drunk two
minutes after the start of the initial
round. Godfrey finished him with a
short, powerful right to the jaw.
The Pennsylvania pugilist, sport
ing 244 pounds under his belt, sailed
into his opponent with the opening
gong. A series of body punches
which though telling were by no
means typical of the Godfrey of two
years ago, stopped the dancing,
shifty Rossel to a walk. Big George
then measured him.

wildcat" Carter Stepped
Now He Is Paying

Here is what Billy Stepp, well
known Portland sports writer had
to say last week about the recent
fight between "Wildcat Carter" and
Eddie Thomas:
The crowd roared the night Eddie
Thomas punched Leslie wildcat"
Carter into shreds at the auditorium.
Thomas was the favorite of the
mob they cheered him when he
was introduced. He was a punk up
against one of the greatest colored
fighters of decade.
The boys on the inside knew that
the wildcat" was only a shadow
of the one-time sensation.
Here he was fighting as head
liner at SO cents to 81, when year
ago he was packing 'em in at top
prices up and down the coast. At
that time he would have slaughtered
youth on the order of Thomas in
one round. He was only 20 then.
There is a bit of drama to the in
side story of Carter.
The powers that be ruined him.
That goes without a question. His
ax-trainer or guardian was the man
who is to blame for the "Cat" being
in the fistic boneyard when he
should be on top.
The night Carter got into the ring
against Thomas he had something on
his mind. He needed money. He was
broke. He had to fight and there was
10 out. Two deaths had hit Carter
during the week. His mother-in-law
and sister had passed away.
He got $500 guarantee to fight
Thomas. The house drew peanuts.
Bad news" as the constable is
known, was present with papers call
ing for $685. attachment on Car
ter's purse. He lost the decision.
His jaw was re-broken. Still the
crowd roared. They were glad the
great Carter had been defeated.
There isn't a chance for him to
come back. It's not in the cards. His
parents died from an ailment that
without doubt will some day count
Carter out for keeps. When they slip
they go fast-in the boxing racket
unless they stay in the straight and
narrow path. Carter stepped off and
is paying.

LETTERS Loses Bout
To Spike O'Dowd

Tommy letters. colored weller, lost
close sx-round battle Wednesday
night to Spike O'Dowd, white well
ter of Montreal, at Crystal Pool.
Spike outsmarted Tommy. He also
landed the most blows. Tommy had
jumping fit Wednesday night and
kept dancing, prancing. bobbing and
lodging throughout the six rounds.
He never set himself long enough to
deliver a solid punch. His fight was
a big disappointment to the fans,
who saw him knockout Stanley Sar-
gent of Portland in one round last
week. LETTERS should have won from
O'Dowd. The rest of the card staged
by Austin and Bishop was as fol-
lows: Hector Sonora. Filipino ban
tam, beat Jackie Johnson of Seattle !;
Sam Eizman, heavyweight of Ia
coma won from Nick Wagner of
Beacon Hill. Eddie Gross and Red
Tingley, heavyweights fought a six
round draw; Cecil Geysel and Paul
Delaney staged another draw; Tony
Portillo. Mexican weller made John
ME Jackson quit in three rounds.

Fortune Teller's Con-
fession Involves
White Families

CHARLOTTE, N. C. - Confess
sions, which she says cover 40 years
of illegal Operations" on girls and
women, and which may involve many
prominent white families, were
wrung from Mrs. Annie Barber. IA,
fortune teller and spell" woman,
following an investigation ending in
her arrest last week.
The sordid confession of Mrs. Bar
Der followed a raid which caught
her in the act of performing an IL
legal operation on 14-year-old
white girl, who is now in a critical
condition in a Rock Hill, S. c., hos
pital.
Many Operations"
According to officials who made
the raid, Mrs. Barber admitted that
for more than 40 years she had per-
formed such operations, so many in
fact, that she did not remember
how many.
John A. Norman, white, father of
the girl, was in the home of Mrs.
BARBER while she was operating"
on the girl and is being held in jail
for his part in the alleged crime.
If the girl lives she will be asked
to tell what relation her father had
to the whole situation.
Mrs. Barber was known in Char
lotte and Rock Hill among many
whites as a fortune teller. She is
said to have had large clientele
among prominent whites as well as
a reputation for casting out SPELLS"
