Pinfalls and Fistic Fodder
BY Francis E. Stan.

A FTER an absence of nearly a
~ year, when he appeared in his
~ first and only professional
fight here, Frankie Fullam,
former Catholic University ring ace
and national amateur middleweight
champion, returns tonight at the Twin
City plant to tackle Walter Kirkwood
in the feature.
Fullam is favored over Kirkwood,
albeit the latter, while only 20, IS a
veteran of 85 pro fights and has had
considerably more experience than Full
lam. But few better boxers have ap-
peared in these parts than the ex-
Cardinal star.
7 1NLESS Kirkwood comes into Full
~ lam, the palm for action is likely
to. be handed to Nick Antonelli and
AL Martin, featherweights, who clash
in the other l0-rounder. The pair
staged a whale of scrap at Portners,
with Antonelli getting . disputed de-
cision.
A six-rounder between Roy Manley
and Al Nepolitano, and fours between
Doug SWedIndn ana JUG bOOy d4iu
Mike Scipio and Roma Labona round
out the card. which starts at $3.50.

schools, and the professional Of the
future must be an artist at the bench
as we'll as a good instructor and keen
player.
One golf manufacturing concern al
ready Is turning out hickory-shafted
irons in large quantities. Its product
has an advantage over the old-fashioned
wood shafts, in that the hickory is
sheathed with a composition that is
presumed to prevent the warping and
splitting that once shortened the lives
Of clubs. This sheath also gives the
clubs a very attractive appearance.
TRIS SPEAKER, the old gray eagle
i Of the outfield and one Of the
greatest batters ever in base ball,
declares there Is a distinct difference
in the word control" as applied to
modern and old-time pitchers.
"A present-day pitcher who can get
the ball over the plate between a bat
ter's knees and shoulders is said to
have control" related Speaker. In the
old days a pitcher with control was one

ter of the Boston Red Sox was the

Matthewson. johnson and all Of the
great ones were able to put the ball
about where they wished"
Speaker also deplores the efforts Of
young pitchers to use a slow ball.
Pitchers arrive at the slow-ban stage
soon enough" said the Texan. "Once
their arms start to weaken they will
naturally come by slow ball. A young
pitcher with good speed and a curve
does not need a real slow ball. and it
can get him into world Of trouble"

NEITHER SCRAPPER
FOND OF TRAINING
Max Would Prefer to Be in
Germany-Jack Has Money,
but Covets Title.
BY SPARROW McGANN.

1EW YORK, June MAX
M Schmeling is doing his best
1 Y to keep up the pretense
that he feels at home in
this country, while preparing for
his titular scrap late this month
with Jack Sharkey. The truth of
the matter is that Max does not
like long waits between fights and
would much prefer to he in Ger
many among his own people. Long
drills and waits annoy him, and
If he had his own way he would
prefer to step off a boat and have
it over with in just about 10 days
Schmeling knows his business and
sees to il that he gets enough exercise
to keep in shape. The championship
means money to him and as there is
no other business he knows that would
pay him in proportion, he is practical
enough to make the NEST Of his oppor-
tunities
The same goes for Sharkey. Jack
has been through the mill. He has
been up and down and is rather tired
Of it all. He has plenty of money
saved and could retire any time But
Jack wants to see his name do down
in fistic history as a world champion
That Is the only reason for his going
through the training grind at Orange
burg. N. Y.
THERE is no exaggerating the pau
i city of interest in the Sharkey-
Schmeling tilt. A stroll through
the highways and byways where smart
followers of the game make their head
quarters will clear up any doubt about
that. The wise ones point out that the
match comes at poor time and, since
the terms of the contract have not been
divulged the fans are wary OF another
trick ending.
Fight fans have long memories Two
years ago more than 100000 was
passed in for pasteboards to witness
one of the most amazing finishes to a
heavyweight championship match ever
recorded. Schmeling, hit low by
Sharkey, won the title sitting on the
f1oor-and received more than 100000
for that exhibition.
One can still hear an echo of the
hoWlS of deriSlOn when 1t was learned
that a clause was written into the con-
tracts stipulating that the principals
were to be paid in full in the event of
foul.
THERE is no doubt that Sharkey
i and Schmeling now realize they
are on the spot They will have
to produce or suffer the consequences.
Sharkey is getting but 10 per cent Of
the gate and he now wishes he hadn't
been so hasty in offering to fight
Schmeling for training expenses. The
manager Of the champion took Jack
at his word and when it came time to
sign he reminded the Boston COB of
his boast
The promoters of the brawl owe it
to the public to make a clean breast
of the terms Of the contract and guar
antee the fans they will see a salts
factory fight And if both principals
would agree to turn all the money over
to the worthy charity under whose
auspices the bout is being staged. the
fans would go for it like the second
meeting between Gene Tunney and
Jack Dempsey.

/N Y YHAT will it take to quail
\n| fy?" That is the main
v topic Of conversation
among quite a group of
young amateurs and professionals who
hope to qualify for the national open
golf championship in the 36-hole sec
tional test next Monday at Congress
sional. Not that any individual among
them Is worried about qualification, for
they all profess to be able to score a
pair Of 76s over that par 72 course.
And brace of 76s, they feel, will be
good enough 20 get in.
Many OF them are practicing at Con-
gressional this week in advance of the
sectional round. for the national open
championship Is the goal and dream
OF hundreds of young pros through
out the land. With the quick jump Of
Sarazen and Burke into Nation wide
prominence by their victories in the
open before them, there isn't a young
pro who does not hope he will strike
streak Of invincible golf and win the
open. But first they must get by the
sectional qualification tests.
WASHINGTON has a group Of about
w 70 golfers in the tourney next
Monday. Out of the entire entry
Of 66 players, there will be only eight
places or about one place to each eight
starters 1t is a foregone conclusion
that most of the amateurs will not
qualify. In the first place, most Of
them fee that If by qualifying they
were to deprive pro of place, they
would rather withdraw. And in the
second place, with only one or two ex-
ceptions, the amateurs are not as good
as the pros.
So the pros will have it their way
in that 36hole test next Monday for
the right to enter the national open
at Fresh Meadow three weeks hence
And is Congressional in fine condition
for this, its first big test in several
years? Brothers. it is better than it
ever has been. In its 10 years of ex-
istence Congressional never has been in
better condition. A shower or two be-
fore Monday and it will be perfect
Just now 1t is little fast. when such
holes as the eighth which is a par
5. can be reached with a drive and a
mashle, and such holes as the twelfth
another par 5-can be reached with a
drive and spoon. But along the other
parts of the route there is plenty Of
trouble.
We played it yesterday with Gene
Larkin Of Chevy Chase and Archie
Clark and Charlie Penna of Congress
sional. Larkin shot a II, Clark shot
a 72 and Penna, despite a bad start,
got rs All Of them hope to dupli-
cate that round next Monday, and all
of them feel that if they do they will
be in with something to spare.

Golf Analyzed
by JOE GLASS.

The golf swing is somewhat SIM
liar to the turn of a wheel. 1t
starts back and forward from the
left shoulder point.
The left shoulder is thus the axis
of the swing. However, there is an
other wheeling movement in the
process Of stroking the ball. In this
both shoulders turn on plane
which comes close to being at right
angles to the swing of the arms.
The head is the center, or axis, of
this second turning movement.

Factory
(By Worker Correspondent

MILWAUKEE,, Wis.-The workers
of the Manitowoc Aluminium work
ers, controlled by Andrew Mellen,
have had their wages cut and have
been speeded up until they can hardly
stand it any longer. Here the "Stag-
ger system" is used with its most ter
rible effects upon the workers. The
crews are working one and two days
per week, speeded up more than ever
before.
In the plating room five crews are
working on 8-hour shifts on part
time g crews per day of 8 hours
two always waiting to be put ON in
place of those working. In this de-
partment especially the speed-up is
at its worst. Just recently the men
in this department. were forced to
increase their production from 100
pieces to 1900 without any increase
in pay for the extra work. Now their
wages have been cut again and the
part-time shifts are being shortened
Men are drawing checks of IS to $40
and SIS for two weeks work and can
not live longer without struggling
against these conditions.
Workers in this plant are beginning
to talk of organization and they will
build committees to fight against
these conditions. The workers of this
plant know the sell-out record of the
A. F. of L. and also the role of the
government, which sends troops to
break strike in this plant 10 years
ago. They will build a shop local
of the Metal Workt. IS Industrial
League and fight the attacks of Mel
len and the rest of the owners of
this plant and will vote for the Party
that leads their struggles in the COM
ing election campaign, the Commu-
