Madison Square Garden some
years ago and has since pro-
vided one of the finest cases of ar
rested development that has come
to light since Walter Lippmann pub
lished his first article, has been
probably the most amusing and in
formative of these crusaders.
The fact that he has been concen-
trating solely on the Garden and
neglecting a hundred other fake out
fits casts some minor dougts on his
sincerity but one should presumably
be grateful for such exposes as one
gets.
Yesterday he ran a story of the
late Lou Magnolia. 1t seems before
the Sharkey-Sco fight Johnson,
SCOTS importer, called Magnolia,
who was to referee the bout and
mentioned the name of a powerful
Tammany politician whose name Mr..
Parker seems reluctant to disclose.
II saw so-and-so," the Garden
matchmaker is quoted as saying,
And he told me to tell you every
thing is OK"
"Yes?" Lou said, I'm glad to hear
that" He hung up and went ahead
in the course of the next day to toll
ten over Phoul-claiming Phil, the
Pheeble Phireman.
He found, as a result, that he no
longer received assignments to handle
bouts in the state of New York,
whose Boxing Commission was un-
der Joyous James thumb.
AS commentary, Mr.. Parker notes a
reform and an advance Referee
Artie Donovan was a victim of the

Professor Mike Donovan, took up the

y in importing Don McCorkindale,
billed as the heavyweight champion
of South Africa. This porcelain
curio has been whipped last year in
turn by Larry Gaines, Young Strib-
ing, the Georgia Cracker Che cracked
up around the fourth round), Maurice
Griselle, the Paris Gazelle and Primo
Camera, fighter of parts (parts of
Ohio and Arizona where tankers are
available).
McCorkindale is being built up on
the basis Of his victory over Larry
Gaines, a fluke accordinf to the
general run of local papers. Gaines,
it appears, was ahead when knocked
down seconds before the final bell
and declared out befort the count
was up.
With Sharkey eliminated, Don is
looked to as the Gardens heavy
weight headliner for the winter.
MEANWHILE Camera, the big
ih card, is scheduled to appear be-
fore II Duce in the same ring with
the erstwhile Basque Woodchopper,
Pauline Upsidedown. Uzcudun is
ballyhooed in Mr.. Parker's news
paper by United Press dispatch
from San Sebastian:
Pauline Uzcudun won great
acclaim by demonstrating unexpected
ability as matador.
Pauline appeared on the same
program with Juan Belmonte, SPANS
greatest living bull-fighter.
1.-THE popular fighter ended his
performance by dexterously driving
his sword squarely between the
shoulder blades to kill the animal"
The Basque, who sports physique
vaguely reminiscent of the tree
stumps resultant from his youthful
efforts should be commended for his
proficiency in a sport hitherto DOM
mated by men of slight or wiry
frames. I confess that it is with
misgivings that I picture him in a
series of graceful veronicas.
OF course, Eddie Cantor has ap-
peared on the same program with
Sidney Franklin, who is a polished
performer. 1t is a pity Metro Gold
wqn-Mayer couldn't get Belmonte,
who is cited as the greatest of all
time and whom I would liked to have
seen. The publicity man of the Car
-Uzcudun fight has done so much
better. Belmonte is difficult man
to perform with, he's bound to out
shine you. 1t is especially in the
light of the fact that he has been
