IN Bartush, however, Dusek will
be tackling one of the best of young

anian is best remembered for his
Commute win over Pat O'Shocker
early this Winter and his losing bat
tie with McMillen.
Dick Daviscourt, another top
notcher, will substitute for Sander
Szabo, Hungarian, who is suffering
with boils. Daviscourt, one Of the
toughest matmen in the game, will
take on Jim Mccarthy, strapping
lad from Boston.

THE meeting between American and

spectators to Soldier Field, Chi

the coming heavyweight professionals

ALEXA NDRIA BOWLERS PREPARE FOR VA. S,
HOUSE
EXPECTED FOR
ALEX.F|GHTS

A capacity house is being pre-
dicted for the Alexandria Day
Nursery boxing card which shows
Billy Landers and Frankie Nc
Kenna on top tonight at the Port
ner Arena in Alexandria. The
first bout is scheduled for $50
o'clock.
Don't confuse the McKenna ap'
pearing in Alexandria tonight as
the fighter of the same name who
suffered a knockout at the hands
of Eduardo Quarry, Cuban welter'
weight, in New York last night.
Landers arrived here last night
accompanied by his manager,
Tony Barbara and predicted he
would even the score with Nc
Kenna tonight for the defeat the
latter handed him two years ago.
D. C. Fans for Landers
Although many local fans will
be behind Landers in his attempt
to even the score. McKenl4a will
not be without his supporters. A
big delegation from Fredericks-
burg, Va, McKenna's birthplace.
has signified its intention Of being
0n hand to help Frankie's cause
along.
Even though Landers took the
short end of their first bout, he
will go to the post tonight a
slight favorite to defeat Nc,
Kenna. Billy has learned a lot
in two years and has met some
of the best boys in the racket.
His ability to take on heavier
opponents and hold his own with
them will also help him in to-
nights scuffle.
Henry Irving and Frank Vance
are on edge for their tangle
which is not expected to go SIX
rounds, the scheduled route,
Vance is in the best shape of his
career and a great battle can be
expected here.
Hard Punching COsden
Kid Cosden, hard punching
Cordova (MdO boy and Jack
Lamar, Cleveland lightweight will

7 WO MAGNATES
SEEK Make

NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-Max
Schmeling, worlds heavyweight
boxing champion, today was the
prize in spirited auction.
John Chapman. Six-day bicycle
promoter, and Nate Lewis, of Chi
cago, engaged in a bidding l. Itch
for the services of the German
boxer for a Chicago bout.
In a telegram made public by
Joe Jacobs, manager of Schmel-
ing. Lewis offered to guarantee
Schmeling 100000 with privi-
lege of 40 per cent of the gate
receipts, for a 10-round bout
against Mickey Walker, the for
mer middleweight champion.
Chapman has been quietly ne
gotiating with Jacobs for an out
door battle i'll Chicago between
the German and Jack Dempsey.
Jacobs declined to give the finan-
cial details Of Chapman'S offer.
Fight at Chicago
Lewis said he wanted to stage
the fight at the Chicago stadium
some time during February or
March. He said he would scale
the bout from IS to $25. At these
prices, Jacobs estimated the gate
would gross over 100000.
1t was noised about that Chap
man was willing to give Schmeling
a 100000 guarantee, but that he
would insist on the German oppos
ing Dempsey. Chapman intends
to stage his fight, if he signs both
boxers, at Soldiers Field in June.
COnfers With Garden
Meanwhile the busy Mr.. Jacobs
was comforting with Madison
Square Garden officials as to
whether and when Schmeling
would defend his title under the
Gardens direction this winter.
The Garden plans Schmeling-
Walker fight for Miami, and in
addition Jacobs has an offer for
the same bout in Los Angeles.
Regarding the Chicago site.
Jacobs said that only 10-round
fights were permitted in Illinois
and the champion does not want
to battle over the short route.
Jacobs told Lewis if the regula.
tions in Illinois were changed to
permit 15-round fight. Schmeling
would be glat to box in Chicago.
