Rough Richard" was tackled
on to Daviscourt following his
bruising battle with "Stone
Mountain" Leavitt in Atlanta,
Ca, Tuesday night.
Leavitt derives his title "Stone
Mountain" from the fact that
he tips the scales at $40 pounds
but this weight didn't help him
much in his match with Davis
court.
Rough Richard" leveled his
huskier opponent with a series
of body slams, and Leavitt had
to be carried from the ring.
Dusek Is Durable
It will be these same body
slams that will annoy Dusek
considerably tonight. Dusek,
however, is known for his endur-
ance, and it will take many hard
thumps before Daviscourt can
squash the rugged Nebraskan.
But all the thrills won't be
packed into the DaviScOurt-
Dusek match. There are other
bouts on the card that should
keep the fans on edge during
the evening.
For one, there is the shindig
between "Tigah" Nelson and
Mike Romano, whom some call
Gentleman Mike" If the truth
be known, Romano is just about
as cruel as Nelson. This ought
to be a piping-hot battle, with
local fans leaning to Romano.
Should Make Fans Culver
George Tragos and Babe Cad
dock are two more who should
make the fans quiver with excite
ment, and the same should hold
true when Joe cTootS") Mondt
leaps forth to meet the huge
Tiny Roebuck. Sammy Stein, a
newcomer, from Newark, N. j.,
and Jim Heslyn will open the
show at $50 o'clock. Women, ac-
companied by escorts, will be
admitted free, except to the ring
side.

HERE SUNDAY

The Hilldale Club, which plays
the Black Sox at Griff Stadium
Sunday, has a galaxy of stars and
everyone who is at all familiar
with colored professional clubs
and players knows Bizz Mackey,
the big boy who handles a
catcher's mitt with the skill Of a

where he virtually excels all COM

Mike Gonzales, who play for the
Brooklyn Dodgers and Cincinnati
Reds, are teammates of Oscar

Dihigo'S big bat has spelled de
feat to many pitcher and it was
his home run sock in the tenth
inning that paved the way for the
Hilldale Club to turn back the
Baltimore SoX in the tenth in the
previous game at the stadium.
Walter REV" Cannady, who
is holding down second base, is
a star who is oftimeS underrated
because of his deceptive motion
on the field. "Rev' has the ap-

WINS SPECIAL
SCHOLASTIC
AWARDS
By GINO SINH

Do athletics make students
backward in their studies?
Down at Gonzaga they have a
young fellow who gives the lie
to this perennial chestnut with
q loud and resounding bang!
He is Davey James, a stocky,
6-foot-2, 150-pound youngster, and
he carved for himself a credit
able record on the gridiron and
diamond for Gonzaga, winning
letters in both.
Tops Class
Davey, despite the time devoted
to these two taxing sports, tops
his class in all studies.
He won a lions share of
scholastic hOnOrs. and was
awarded special prizes for ex-
ceptionaI work in plane geOm-
etry and physics, two studies
which require plenty of perse-
yerance and application.
James was a capable guard
on the football team and handed
in several fine pitching perform
ances for the school nine this
year. :.
His pitching accounted for half
of the games that the green Irish
diamond crew won. He has ex,
cellent control and is very cool
under fire.
To Return
James will be back next year,
determined to improve on his
record, both scholastically and
athletically.
GonZaga has two brilliant
sophomore athletes in Irving
Eppard and Dick Hall.
They both won three letters
this year, all of them in major
sports-football baseball, and
basketball.
They too were cited for their
scholastic performances. Which
goes to show that good athletes
can be good students and vice
versa.

 Later Mrs Gatty told of the chil- dren.
 "When left home they were all going to be aviators. Ronald will celebrate his birthday July 9, and, of course, won't be there, but 1 have arranged for plenty of toys of airplanes," she said.
 Mrs Gatty used plane and train getting here her first airplane ride incidentally. The airplane she was using was held at Pittsburgh last night by g. storm, necessitating her completing the trip east by train.
 Gatty and his wife subsequently joined MT and Mrs Post at break fast. The two flyers were quiet, but the women talked animatedly Of the costumes they would wear for the reception today. Mrs Gatty decided on a white frock topped with 3 white beret. Mrs Post chose 8 blue dress with white polkadots. Gatty wore a grey suit and Post wore 9 suit of a dark shade.
 The flyers meanwhile enjoyed their breakfast of boiled eggs, toast and ice water. They again scorned coffee just as they did last night.
 William S. Deegan headed the committee which escorted the flyers from their suite out through the lob by of the hotel and into the street crowded with cheering people. They were led to the official city tug, Macon, for the trip down the river to the Battery.

that the risk had to be taken. This young lad has all the earmarks of developing into a criminal. The na- ture of the charge is such that if he were 8 little older he would face a long term in states prison. I am in- clined to the opinion that he could be committed and examined by com; petent doctors. If his parents are in financial position to pay for his support at the George Junior Re- public am willing to have him sent there, but he must be committed to some institution" the court declared. He was sent to the reform school.

Lieutenant Matthew J. Balanda investigated the case and on the strength of, the boys own admis- sions solved several recent reports of burglary. Two bicycles, one which had been repainted and the wheels changed, pair. of boxing gloves, flashlights, baseball gloves, running shoes and other paraphernalia were exhibited as evidence against the lad and a 14-year old companion, who was in possession of one of the bicy- cles at one time, but who claimed that the accused youngster sold it to him.
 The bicycles and sporting goods were sotlen from the Triplex store on Grand street. The Fulton Mar ket at 868 Bank street, the Whole sale Candy company on Canal street, James J. Hennessey of 25 Oakville avenue, whose automobile was brok- en into and large number of boxes of cigars taken; I. Goldberg of 3S6 South Main street and Vincent Kaktis of SAP North Riverside were included in the list of victims.
 Estimates of merchandise stolen in various places ran as high as $1,0OO. The 14-year old boy ad- mitted being implicated in six cases; but would offer no testimony that would incriminate others.
 'No one boy could take all these things" argued his mother. Tt is the first time he has ever been ar rested and for some reason or an- other he is willing to take the rap the way. If your honor will place him on probation I will pomise to have him placed with relatives on a farm out of the state.'
 In view of the seriousness and the number of charges the court ruled that the boy must be committed.

 be paid the following year. He also championed the measure for a municipal coal yard which was passed by the general assembly, but later vetoed by the governor and a substitute bill passed with a joker that rendered it useless.
 But it was at sessions of the Friends of Irish Freedom and later as president of the Kevin Barry council of the American Association for Recognition of the Irish Repub- lie that MT O'Sullivan was at his best.

 River craft added their salvo. Steam whistles screeched. Fireboats gave a volley of water as a gesture of welcome as the Macon pushed steadily on to the crowds in lower Broadway.

 .Jouett Shouse, chairman or the democratic national committee, heard more talk for Roosevelt than TOT anyone else while on the Paclnc coast recently. Senator Burton IA. Wheeler, democrat, Montana, recent lv declared Roosevelt was the strong democrat in the mountain states.
 Convention time being stil! one wear away, chicken counting IS not vet in order. But most pohticlahs regard Roosevelt as ahead or the field in the democratic race, tnougn they disagreed decidedly as to Whetn- or fbis means he will be nominated. Some say it is an advantage. tuners say the opposite.
 Whether it is a help to be so Tar out in. front now or not, the fact remains that Hoover and smith were nominated four years ago largely pe- cause they got so far out In front that no one could catch them. Ihey afford interesting parallels to Roose- velt's situation. He stands. as they did. a. leader against the field.
 MT. Hoover was opposed py the republican politicians of the senate school headed by Charles Curtis, now vice-president; James B. watson, senate leader, and such. They set up a group of favorite sons trying to tie up enough states to freeze him out. But it was Hoover against a group of local candidates and the delegates finally gravitated to the one who looked like winner.
 Smith was violently opposed Tn the south and west. But he also had rounded up a large following or delegates so that when the conven- ton met at Houston it was smith against the field. The sort of band wagon rush that nominated MT Hoover on the first ballot did the same thing for Smith.
 Thus far it is Roosevelt against the field also There are other pos sibIe candidates like Governor AL bert c. Ritchis of Maryland. Newton D. Baker of Ohio, owen D. Young of New York, Senators Joseph T. Robinson of Arkansas, Cordell Hull of Tennessee and Walter F. George of Georgia. And standing back mysteriously in the wings is Alfred D. Smith. Several of these may de- velop into national candidates be- fore the conventions meet. But to- day Roosevelt dominates the picture.
