.LONDOS TO TACKLE
P|NETZK THURSDAY
Appearance of Champion
Against Giant Due to Pack
Auditorium.

w WASHINGTON wrestling fol-
M lowers will be served what
v probably is the most at
tractive match ever sched-
uled here when Promoter Joe Turner,
| for his weekly show next Thursday at
the Washington Auditorium, presents
a bout which promoters Of New YORK,
Philadelphia and Boston have valnly
attempted to book-Jim Londos VS.. Leo
PinetZki.
After first announcing that Londos
had been procured to meet one Tony
Devido. Turner late yesterday was in
| formed of the possibility of booking
Pinetzki, and he promptly closed the
deal
The prospect of witnessing LondoS,
the champion, and, compared 10
Pinetzki, a mite, against the 6-foot g.
inch Pole, who weighs 280 pounds, Is
certain to draw a capacity house. Tne
champ will be outweighed by 80 pounds
and will be more than foot shorter
than Pinetzkl
| nINETZKI, since coming to this
L country several months ago after
vacating his European champion
ship throne. has been defeated by only
one man, Dick Shikat. general recog-
n'Zed as Londos' chief contender. HIS
| efforts to meet LondoS, however. have
been futile.
Londos repeatedly has packed the
huge auditorium against mediocre op-
ponents. while Pinetzki, against set-ups,
has rivaled Londos' drawing power oy
duplicating the feat several times. With
both in the ring at the same time. some
sort of an indoor attendance mark may
be expected.
Just how Londos is going to go about
the business of attempting to throw the
giant may prove intriguing. Jeems
never has been called upon to face an
opponent of Pinetzki's size, and local
mat fans never have seen the Pole lifted
from the ground-a feat necessary
Thursday if London is to use his pat
ented airplane spin.
A SUPPLEMENTARY card Of unusual
n attractiveness has. with the excep-
ton of one preliminary, been ar
ranged.
Fred Grobmier, undefeated hook
scissors star will oppose Frank Speers,
the only mailman he has failed to pin
here. The pair met several weeks ago,
Grobmier getting the decision when
Speers was knocked unconscious after
falling from the ring.
Howard Cantonwine, who recently
jumped from the Paul Bowser circuit,
will make his first appearance here
tackling George Hagen in one of the
preliminaries Another will bring to-
gether George Manich and oscar Ne
grin. A third will be announced to-
morrow.

there was question of Portney's

as 140, it was generally thought he
weighed several pounds over that

remain in the lightweight class.
Jallos' best bout here was that
which he won from Bobby Burns of
Baltimore at the Ritchie Coliseum.
His clean hits while counterpunching

Golf Analysed
By JOE GLASS.

Managing the left foot in the
process of pivoting is one of the
most difficult problems a new golfer
has to learn, particularly If he has
passed that age when the body Is
supple.
When the weight is being shifted
on the backswing, the beginner is
almost certain to relieve the bur-
den on the left foot too much, de-
stroying balance. So much weight
has been transferred to the right
foot that only the left toe remains
on the ground This means un-
certainty in the downswing, for the
weight cannot be restored to the
left side smoothly.
Only the left heel and that por-
tion of the foot above the bali go

he said.

THAT'S a typical requesting head

They don't care much what you

Does the fact that an article never
appears with the headlines as dictated
discourage EN-? 1t does not. Even
should the headlines as contributed be
all right from the standpoint Of telling
the story, grammar and in other essen
tials there is about one chance in q
thousand that they would be used, for
primarily a head has to balance as to
the number OF words 1t contains. 1t is
to a considerable extent a matter of
mathematics.
The habit of sending in stories with
headlines written is not peculiar to
the young sandlotters. 1t also applies
to some of the older ones. Perhaps
they feel that in sending in stories with
the heads written they are being help
full. In this event they do not merit
criticism. But you would think that
after never seeing their headlines used
they would get hep to the situation
