BERG DECISION
NOT PLEASING
TO RING FANS

NEW YORK, July 10. U.P)-An-
other storm of protest arose here
today because of last nights un-
popular 15-round decision awarded
to Jackie kid" Berg of England
over Kid Chocolate of Havana.
This aftermath is reminiscent Of
the squabble which followed the re-
cent Jack Sharkey-Max Schmeling
c title fight.
Most sports writer's and most of
the $4,000 spectators thought Cho-
colate had won easily One judge
and referee gave the verdict to the
British lightweight. The other
judge favored the Cuban.
The United Press score sheet
credited Chocolate with nine rounds,
Berg five, and one was even. Cho-
colate, holder of the synthetic jun
ior lightweight title which was not
at stake, outboxer Berg and landed
the harder blows.
1t was Berg's second decision over
Chocolate. He took the first two
years ago.
Berg weighed 1877 pounds, Choco-
late 1904.

FORMER JUMPER
DEVELOPS INTO
WEIGHT HURLER

LOS ANGELES, July 10. U,P)-
From Palo Alto last Saturday came
the summaries of the 56-pound
weight throw, an Amateur Athletic
Union event which is not repre-
sented on the Olympic program.
There was just a line, Richards,
Los Angeles Athletic club, fourth" A"
That line today evoked memories
of one who is now called Grandpa
Alma" Richards, and his feat of
winning the high jump in the 1912
Olympic games for the United
States.
Richards had been competing
around Los Angeles since 1909. AS
late as 1925 he was still one of the
best high jumpers of the southland.
But with advancing age (or
youth, he's only As years old, Alma
gave up high jumping to become
one of the best weight throwers of
the country, ranking second only
to Pat McGrath, the New York
copper.
Alma has the build for a weight
thrower, for he is six feet four
inches tall, very broad, and weighs
well over 200 pounds.
So Grandpa" Richards, old
enough to be the father of most
of the present crop of athletes, con-
tinues' to make his mark in one of
the most strenuous events on the
track and field program.

by taking both ends of a double
header, 2 to 6, and 2 to /.
In the National League, Brooklyn
replaced the st. Louis Cardinals in
fifth position by downing the Cards,
7 to 4, aided by timely hitting from
Hack Wilson and eileen Wright.
The league leading Pittsburgh
Pirates ended a four game winning

NEW YORK, July 10. (U.P)-Babe
Ruth, one of Americas most famous
and consistent convalescents, is TAX
ing his baseball by telephone again

charley horse" in high right thigh.
The big fellow with the steel arms
and glass legs pulled a muscle in
the rear of his right thigh yester-
day when he lunged for fly at
Yankee stadium while playing the
Chicago White Sox.
Club physicians predict the Babe

United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, July 10. - A very
severe, dangerous and distressing
disease seems to be sweeping ward
four, Queens county, Long Island,
New York, which is approximately
the location of Madison Square
Gardens large custard cup.
This is one and the same place
where Mr.. Sharkey was given a
decision over Mr.. Schmeling. And,
folks, that disease they've got out
there seems to be 'ketchin.' It's
known as quabrefodge, and affects
the eyes of boxing judges and
referees.
I went out to the custard cup
last night and watched Kid Choc-
olate knock the livip' daylights cut
of Jack Kid Berg, and then give
him a couple of good socks for
good measure. I sorta liked the
way the chocolate boy looked I
liked him SO well, in fact, I gave
him 10 Of the Is rounds. 1t seemed
like everybody else did, except
those who were suffering from
quabrefodge. I can remember the
judges announced Jack Kid Berg
had won. Two or three hours later
when I regained consciousness, !
got indignant. 1 still am.
What does box-fighter have to
do in the custard cup to win a
fight? Pack six gunsP Employ
marlin spikes or conk an oppon-
ent? Apparently that's the way it
stands out at the custard cup. Dog
gone them judges!
Pals, if ever a man won a fist
fight Chocolate won that one last
night. Mister Berg deserves full
credit for staying there Is rounds
with a sledge hammer slapping him
in the face at frequent and regular
intervals. But it seems little un-
reasonable to give man a fight
for just standing up and getting
the stuffing knocked out or him.
was at the ringside when them
stricken judges gave off their de-
cision. And I saw Kid Chocolate
come through the ropes after Is
rounds of noble walloping, crying
like baby. And I said to myself
then that I'm going to stomp and
holler. It's good thing we
haven't got judges on the benches
like the judges they got out there
at that custard cup. A man would
get electrocuted, automatically. and
without trial, for parking by a fire
plug. The prisons would be full
of lifers who shot off firecrackers
within the city limits, and made
left turns.
That decision was rank. foul and
unfair. There wasn't sports
writer in the cup who didn't give
Chocolate the fight. It even
seemed like Mister Joe Humphries
had a throb in his voice when he
announced that Berg was the win
ner. Berg covered his head ur
with a towel to hide both bruises
and bushes.

LONDOS-STEELE
MATCH ENDS IN
DRAW DECISION

ANGELES, July 1. U.P) - Jim
Londos, national boxing associa-
ton heavyweight wrestling cham
pion, and Ray Steele, big Califor-
nian, groaned and grunted for two
hours to a draw last night.
Each one took one fall in their
open air match at Wrigley field
before a crowd of 10000.
Steele took the first in | hour
and % minutes after Londos ran
away several times to escape pun
ishment. Londos then came back
with his favorite airplane spin to
take the second fall in Is minutes
after Steele had been knocked un-
conscious.
They wrestled several minutes
more seeking the third fall, but
the bout was stopped at the end
of two hours in compliance with
state athletic commission ruling
prohibiting bouts of more than two
hours duration.
Steele's speed and strength en-
abled him to break holds that ap-
parently had him in bad way a
couple of times. Londos crafty
ring judgment finally gave him the
second fall, although he had to
work hard to get it.
Hans Steinke, 245, defeated John
Freeberg, 230. Joe Stecher, 220,
pinned Henry Graber, 210. Ira
Dern, 220, drew with Able Cole

won from Joe Varga, 2O6, on a
foul. Jim Atlas defeated Karl Da-
Wis and Steve Strelich pinned

BOATS NEARING
FINAL TEST In
TRYOUT RACES

LONG BEACH, Calf, July 49,
U.H-The star boat zoa of Long
Beach held a one-point lead today
in a series of races against the
best boats of the United States and
Hawaii to decide the American
representative in the Olympic
games.
The zoa turned the tables on
the swift Jupiter of New Orleans
which captured a close decision in
the first race, by sweeping to first
place and relegating the Jupiter
to third behind the Mist, Long
Island entry sailed by Edwin
Thorne.
Gilbert Gray tillered the Jupi-
ter again and Eddie Fink was
skipper of the zoa.
A westerly wind which increased
to stiff 16 miles as the boats
covered a 10-mile course of six
legs proved disastrous for the mod
crate weather Great Lakes sloop,
Majella II, sailed by Ralph Brad
ley, famous Peoria, ILL.,, skipper.
The midwest entry was in last
place all the way, finishing more
than 10 minutes aStern of Zoa and
seven minutes IA seconds behind
the fourth place boat, G. F. Da-
mons Nomad of Honolulu.
After Damon had taken an early
lead from Jupiter, Fink went to
the front during the third leg
beat and held it. The zoa's time
was hours, minutes, 81 seconds.
LOS ANGELES HARBOR, July
10. U.P)-The sloop Naiad of San
Francisco and the Gallant of
Southern California were tied to-
day after the second duel of a
four-race series to pick one of the
two six-meter boats to represent
the United States in the Olympic
games.
With young Mike Casserly at the
t:ller, the Naiad made up for its
defeat of Sunday by defeating Ted
Conant with the Los Angeles Yacht
club boat by AZ seconds. She cov-
cred a 12-mile course in hours,
IA minutes, 5 seconds.
1t was considered possible today
that the foul claimed by the Naiad,
following a close brush for posi-
tions in Sundays race might re-
suit in a sail-off being ordered

sioerably lower in the scale of cx-
pert estimation.
Again it was the Maggio's i'm
ported talent from San Diego
which cinched the contest. Neil
Carlson, in addition to hurting a
fine game, poled out two home
runs and a double. The Smith
brothers came through with two
hits each.
In a game tonight the strong
Studebakers are rated only slight
favorites over the greatly i'm
proved Southern California Tele-
phone company outfit. Both teams
are determined that the score shall
not be like that of last night.
